I am a Canadian artist whose images portray the beauty of flowers, the tranquility of evening sunsets and visions of Ontario landscapes. I capture these in watercolour and mixed media in a semi-realistic style. I have journeyed throughout Ontario and have documented some of these natural wonders on site. Evident in my paintings is my love of gardening and nature; I am trying to connect people to our landscape and community. I have therefore, donated many original works of art to local charitable organizations such as O.R.C.A., Hutchinson House, Festival of Trees, St. Joseph's at Fleming and Peterborough Symphony Orchestra. This is my way of recognizing our community.
I was born in Cornwall, Ontario, however, have lived in Peterborough since the early 1940's. I attended several public schools, followed by high school at Kenner and PCVS. After which I was offered a drafting apprenticeship at C.G.E., later transferring into product and design engineering. Forty two years later I retired and decided to pursue a life long interest in art. Hence I am self taught, but have taken many workshops from notable artists, including David Bierk, Edwin Matthews and Bryan Atyeo.
As far as creating a piece of art is concerned, I would say that as I am working on a project (in the solitude of my workshop with my classical music playing), the mood, which is serene and peaceful, seems to be almost spiritual and when finished, I am amazed at what I have accomplished.
Because I did not start my painting full time until my retirement, I recommend to all budding artists, study and read as much as possible because it is never too late to start a creative journey.

Trends, a Bedroom Recording Project, Make "Queer Punk Trash"
Marina Paiz, aka Trends
Photo courtesy of Manimal Records
What happens when you give a high schooler a Le Butcherettes album, a guitar, music production software Logic Express, a cheap snowball mic, and a $20 Peavey amp?
In the case of 18-year-old Duarte artist Marina Paiz, you get Queer Punk Trash. Duh.
At least, that's how Paiz describes Trends, her DIY bedroom recording project. More specifically, she refers to her self-created genre as "experimental shitcore/ space punk."
We had to know more.

Paiz plays everything by ear, but isn't a newbie to making music. She's been playing classical piano since she was four, and will be featured on Manimal's Duran Duran tribute album, Making Patterns Rhyme, which also features Warpaint, Moby, and Little Dragon and will be out by the end of the summer.
Oh, and she's mixing Matt Lamkin of The Soft Pack's forthcoming debut solo EP. The two met 3 years ago when she gave Lamkin her demo tape.
That's all well and good. But what, exactly, is "Queer Punk Trash?"
She's a bit coy when talking about it. "Bang," Trends' latest single, contains lyrics about "the thrill of not having what you want."
"It's about a girl," she says shyly, divulging what seems to be a secret crush. "But I try to keep pronouns out because I hope everyone can relate."
"Music is a male dominated industry," she continues, noting she is currently the only female enrolled in her department at the Los Angeles College of Music. "I'm just trying to fit in-between those lines, and write and sing about what I want to sing about."
She adds, "I come from a Hispanic background where the female is supposed to be quiet and obedient. I don't know how to cook and I suck at cleaning. I've always been about breaking tradition. All I do is write music about girls, stomp on the distortion pedal, and play some nasty chords."
"Mind of Man" was the super lo-fi demo that first got Manimal's attention last year, that and the bio she sent them: "Trends is a band that loves garlic naan and reverb. Striving to become a hybrid of Ty Segall's 2nd cousin and Gary Numan. Thrash with me."
But "Bang," above, is a progression, the first song she's recorded in studio with a full band. With each of her songs, however, she records them in one straight shot. "If I extend it to a couple of days or a week, it's like I lose the original emotion. It has to be done on the spot. I won't accept anything else."
Paiz feels her music has earned her respect, both as a female and a musician.
"I don't like fucking around," she says. "I'm not about that life."

Jan Fischer, ex-communist with passion for numbers
The head of the Czech Statistical Office claims he has no political ambitions -- he says he will serve his five months in cabinet until early elections due by mid-October and then return to his lifetime passion.
Prague -- Jan Fischer, who will be appointed as Czech interim prime minister Thursday, has dedicated his life to statistics which he calls "an interesting adventure."
The head of the Czech Statistical Office claims he has no political ambitions -- he says he will serve his five months in cabinet until early elections due by mid-October and then return to his lifetime passion.
"I would understand my role above all as a service to the people of this country, and that's the important thing," he said in a newspaper interview this week.
Czech President Vaclav Klaus recently described Fischer as a "prudent man who has never been radically politically oriented to one or the other side" -- despite his communist past.
Fischer was a member of the Communist Party between 1980 and 1989 during the Cold War -- he said he had signed up "to be able to pursue my career."
He joined the statistical office after graduation in 1974. In 1990, he became its deputy chairman, and in 2003 he took the top job.
The 58-year-old man born to a family of mathematicians and statisticians spent his entire career at the office except for three years when he worked for a research company and at the University of Economics.
In 2001, he was also a member of an International Monetary Fund mission that looked at the feasibility of setting up a statistics service in East Timor.
In the newspaper interview, Fischer said the vital experience his current job had given him would help him oversee the European Union as the Czech Republic now holds the rotating EU presidency.
"I have experience with presiding owing to my job, and I believe I will handle this task with a team of co-workers," said Fischer.
As the country's top statistician, Fischer often attended cabinet meetings and he "knows the whole agenda in detail," said outgoing Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek.
As prime minister, Fischer may also benefit from knowing Klaus for 30 years.
"Not that we would go out for a beer together, but I think his summer house is close to ours and that we used to see each other in this cosy little pub," the president recalled this week.
Fischer, born January 2, 1951 in Prague, lives with his second wife, a former secretary and assistant. He has two sons and a daughter.
The man with a prominent nose, who says "the best relaxation for me is sleep," speaks English and has some command of Russian, French and German.

How to Mind Control – 3 Tips for Success in Mind Control
This is because you have to learn more than the straightforward techniques on how to mind control.
I have come up with a number of tips that will be of help to any practitioner.
Be serious about mind control.
This is particularly applicable to using covert hypnosis. The state of trance is relatively fragile, so even if you giggle for a sec or change your voice tone, you might jeopardize all your efforts for persuasion.
When you learn how to mind control, you also learn how to plan your strategy for influencing another person. It is essential for you to stick to this plan and put your focus on the persuasion only.
Focus on the person you are trying to influence.
No matter how effective your techniques on how to mind control are, you have to tailor them to the person you are trying to influence and to the specific situation.
While following your plan, you have to be able to come up with words, gestures and persuasion patterns that will have an effect on this particular person.
Remember that you should always focus on using the word "you" during a conversation, instead of using "I". For instance, instead of saying, "I want to know (something)", you should say, "Can you tell me (something)?"
Never get emotional.
When you are influencing a person's mind, you have to work with his emotions. Basically, you have to use them to your advantage.
If you feel empathy and start experience the same emotions, you will lose your confidence and focus.
Not being emotional does not mean that you are being cruel. Quite the opposite, usually an impartial person can provide the most effective solution to someone's problems.
You have just learned how to mind control more effectively. Keep expanding your knowledge with my article How To Do Mind Control-It's Easier Than You Think.

Very cool replie cosmin.
Maybe Todd's lesson can help you: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...t=0#entry473580
Good luck!
Thanks Fre Good post! Fre is right, there are many lessons here that are certain to help you get there.
"Alternate Picking" is one of my favorite techniques as I was just obsessed with learning how to do it like the players that blew my mind and spent countless hours working it out. I'm still working it out as learning is life long, but I've distilled what I"ve learned thus far in to the lesson series I'm doing here on GMC. If you start at lesson 1 and work up to lesson 30 doing one per week, practicing about an hour per day, in 30 weeks you will be RIPPING!
Here is the link.
Here is a sample vid from something we worked on a few weeks ago combining alternate picking and economic picking.
Thank you Fre!
I think Fre meant the lesson series could Monkey. Then again, I"ve been helped enormously by the killer vids here on GMC from Attila, Daniel, etc. And I've only scratched the surface.

The 70-degree temperatures and sunshine glowing on the rolling hills of Kentucky bluegrass served as reminders that the Western Washington University men's basketball team was far from home Tuesday afternoon.
And yet the Vikings certainly felt like they belonged.
On the verge of playing in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Division II men's tournament for the first time in 11 years, WWU took in the sights around Northern Kentucky University on Tuesday but didn't lose focus on the task at hand.
"We're definitely glad to be here, but we didn't come here to lose," senior John Allen said via telephone from the NCAA championship site in Highland Heights, Ky., just across the river from Cincinnati. "We came here to win some games. It's definitely a business trip."
The Vikings (28-5) might be relative newcomers to the Elite Eight, having last qualified in 2001, but they have reason to be confident as they head into today's 11:30 a.m. (PDT) opener against fifth-ranked Midwestern State (26-3), a school from Wichita Falls, Texas. Not only did WWU emerge from the same West Region that has produced championship-game participants in each of the past three seasons, the 12th-ranked Vikings are 5-1 against nationally ranked opponents this season.
WWU's only loss to a ranked team came when current No. 2 Alabama Huntsville nipped the Vikings 77-74 in Las Vegas on Dec. 17.
"Our team is a team that's had to fight for everything," said head coach Brad Jackson, who is in his 27th season at WWU. "Over the course of the year, we've gotten better and better. But the players still have that mindset, that they have to fight for everything."
The Vikings' season hit a road bump when they lost in the opening round of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference tournament two weeks ago, but they bounced back to knock off three teams, including Seattle Pacific in the final, for the West Region crown.
"These players showed at the beginning of the season that they had the ability," Jackson said. "The biggest thing with this team is that they have this mental toughness that has been with them all season."
Allen, a Mountlake Terrace High School graduate who started his college career as a walk-on at Washington State University, said he's excited to be in Kentucky but not overwhelmed by the stakes … or the competition.
"The way we played against top-25 competition all year definitely helped our confidence," he said.

Six Things Clients Want. Valuable reminders for freelancers on what our clients are seeking from us. Clients are looking for insights about their customers or their business. They seek inspiration and new ideas. Clients expect us to be able to collaborate with their various partners and agencies. They hope we can give them guidance on improving processes and how to become more productive.
Microsoft Upside-Down. A CrunchGear article titled It's time for Microsoft to turn itself upside-down. I couldn't agree more. "Microsoft probably has as many metaphorical garages as anyone else in the world. Microsoft Research and Microsoft Labs, among many other experimental sections, employ an immense amount of people, and frequently come out with really cool stuff. The trouble is that something in the structure of Microsoft's complex interlocking-teams method of management prevents these things from being anything other than great ideas." The article includes a list of products that demonstrate how Microsoft fails miserably bringing great ideas to market.
Courier videos. Speaking of a potential Microsoft failure, Six Pixels posts two videos on the Courier portable. The videos can both be viewed at once which is what I recommend to get a quick snapshot of what the Courier does, which seems to be little more than functioning as a digital scrapbook.
Foursquare analytics for businesses. The new Foursquare statistics service for businesses is brilliant. The New York Times provides a screenshot that gives you all the details. Statistics areas include Key Metrics (total checkins, unique visitors, sent to twitter, etc), Top Visitors, Most Recent Checkins, and Checkins by date and time.
Layar Augmented Reality App. AR is definitely around the corner, a natural progression in location-based applications. David Meerman Scott is dazzled by the Layar AR iPhone app and posts a video of it in action. We're seeing the future unfold before our eyes, my friends. The smartphone device will be replaced with a larger AR device which will be replaced by wearable AR devices to be replaced by human-integrated and non-physical AR devices. There's nothing that can stop it.
Using Search Terms for Planning New Content. This may seem obvious, if you want more traffic you use Google Analytics to learn what search terms people used to discover your site and you write more on those terms. This Daily SEO Tip article provides a quick description of the process. The pages on dbvt.com that get the most hits are my posts on Silverlight, and unfortunately I'm not doing much in Silverlight these days.
Strong Community Connections. Excellent point from FeverBee on defining community parameters that build strong connections among community members. He uses an online community for folks over 40 as a bad example of building strong connections, as people over 40 don't feel a strong connection with others over 40, not like, say people over 80. "The higher the boundaries and the smaller the group, the tighter the community will be."
Community Veterans. I'm getting a lot from Richard Millington's FeverBee blog on community, so two Everyman Links tonight. Here he makes a very good point on the value of active veterans in an online community. "The best indicator of an online community's survival is how many active veterans you have. How many members have been participating for 5 years? A single active veteran is worth 100 newcomers, maybe a 1000."
A Smarter Landing Page. Landing pages are typically referred to as the pages you promote with Google Adsense, but can also be viewed as the top pages visitors arrive at through a Google or Bing search. Very good idea from Search Engine Journal on adding content-specific calls to action or additional links to reduce the bounce rate. BlogEngine.NET does that out of the box by displaying a list of related articles when it determines that the blog page was arrived at through Google. If you search Everyman Links, for instance, "Dave Burke – Everyman Links" is the first entry. Click on it and you'll see BlogEngine.NET's related post list at the top of the page. All I'm saying is that there's a lot of potential in maximizing search-term-based logic on landing pages to improve SEO and better managing user behavior once they're on your website.

A webmaster or perhaps web site owner 's job or perhaps responsibilities don't end if the internet site he operates goes live and it is currently accessible by visitors online. You will find a complete brand new set of duties and functions that a website owner needs to think to be able to make certain that his site continuously works perfectly and lets you fulfill its intended functions. Several of the responsibilities he's to assume include providing new content almost as they can, submitting the web site to the search engines and definitely searching for reciprocal links to increase the rank in search engines.
One of the more essential responsibilities of a website owner is usually to look for broken links to his site. Broken back links may be looked at as one of the worst type of things which could happen to a site. A great deal of not as great perceptions and unwanted effects arise from having a web site that's riddled with broken links.
In reality, broken links are actually plaguing a lot of sites which it's being viewed as a major issue on the internet. Many reasons may be cited for the spread of broken hyperlinks, the basic causes of broken links include: Websites not being maintained with the proper amount of dedication, the architecture of the internet site and just how material is actually positioned to the website continuously changes, as well as the substantial incidence of websites which are actually closing down.
Hyperlinks are actually a rather crucial part of sites as it helps in the navigation within the webpages and points to directions outside of the website. A web site with no links is similar to a great deal of documents which are piled one in addition to the other hand without rhyme or perhaps reason and no smart way to reach the details that you have to have.
Link management is a really crucial and absolutely important component of keeping a website. As previously mentioned, broken links bring with it really negative perceptions about the internet site and these may have really detrimental effects on the website traffic produced by the site.
Originating from a specialized viewpoint, broken backlinks could stop search engine robots dead in its tracks, successfully stopping it from totally mapping out a site for submission to search engines. Additionally, a site that's riddled with several broken hyperlinks gives visitors the concept the web site is actually unprofessional that the internet site owner or perhaps owners have a questionable reputation? really expensive image issues which are difficult to change the moment it's established. Additionally, visitors that encounter many difficulties in a web site will likely not go back for a return visit, this's almost tantamount to losing potential clients. They'll be switched off because they will not get the page that they're trying to find, believing that it's definitely not in the website when the truth is the page is present just that a mistake in coding made the page unavailable.
With web users becoming more plus more advanced as time goes by, it'll take website owners much more work to encourage these drivers to see their sites and broken hyperlinks won't help this very hard process in a manner.
Site owners and webmasters must be extremely conscious of the negative consequences of having broken links in their sites. They need to vigilantly weed out and repair some broken links. Fortunately, nowadays there are a growing number of convenient utilities that will help webmasters located broken links. Using these utilities, managing a site becomes fairly easier.

WARSAW, POLAND—Adam Łukaszewicz of the University of Warsaw and his team have completed a 3-D record of the walls of the tomb of Ramesses VI, in order to study the graffiti left by tourists some 2,000 years ago, according to a report in Science & Scholarship in Poland. The researchers found more than 1,000 inscriptions in the tomb, which is just one of at least ten of the 60 tombs in the Valley of the Kings marked with ancient travelers' names and comments. Most of the inscriptions were carved into the rock or made with red paint. "The greatest number of inscriptions come from the Greek-Roman period, that is, from the time of the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great to the division of the Roman Empire in the fourth century," Łukaszewicz said. Łukaszewicz notes that most of the visitors, some of whom were high-ranking officials, tried to avoid writing on the Egyptian decorations on the walls. The scientists will use their digital records to continue to study the inscriptions. For more, go to "Egypt's Final Redoubt in Canaan."
CUSCO, PERU—Living in Peru reports that a stone floor and a fragmented vessel that may have been used to make offerings were discovered at Machu Picchu Archaeological Park by archaeologist José Bastante and researchers from Peru's Ministry of Culture. They found the floor and the vessel in a passage behind the room where the so-called "water mirrors" are located. The water mirrors, circular basins on the floor of the main area, are thought to have been used to observe the reflected night sky. Likewise, light from solstices and equinoxes is thought to have shone through a central window in the passage to the water mirrors next door. Bastante said the vessel probably had a pointed base, may have been burned after the offering was made. The vessel is thought to date to the fifteenth century and will be tested for any residues of its contents. For more, go to "Letter From Peru: Connecting Two Realms."
NARA PREFECTURE, JAPAN—According to a report in The Asahi Shimbun, scientists have discovered a possible use for small wooden frames, shaped like truncated square pyramids, which have been unearthed at archaeological sites around Japan. It had been suggested that the wooden frames could have been used for catching fish or even as funnels. Archaeologists working at a circular tomb site in the city of Kashihara, however, found one of the wooden frames supporting a finely woven, square-bottomed basket. "I imagine it was used to transport or store something precious," said Yuka Sasaki, a visiting researcher of archaeobotany at the Center for Obsidian and Lithic Studies at Meiji University. Made from four pieces of wood from a chinquapin tree, the stand was held together with plant material. The basket, woven from a kind of bamboo grass, was attached to the stand with strings made from plants. This particular basket and stand are thought to have been made by the Yayoi Pottery Culture sometime in the late second century A.D. For more, go to "Japan's Early Anglers."
BELCHER, LOUISIANA—KTBS News reports that a woman looking for artifacts along the Red River in northwestern Louisiana spotted a dugout canoe in the mud of the riverbank. Jeffrey Girard of the Louisiana Archaeological Society and Robert Chip of the State Archaeological Division excavated the cypress-wood canoe, which is missing one side. What remains measures about 34 feet long and three feet wide, and is thought to have been constructed by the Caddo people between 800 and 1,000 years ago. The vessel will be studied and conserved at Texas A&M University. A sample has been taken for radiocarbon dating. For more on archaeology in Louisiana, go to "Archaic Engineers Worked on a Deadline."
LUXOR, EGYPT—Inscriptions estimated to be up to 6,000 years old have been found spread over several rock panels located near the village of El-Khawy by a team of researchers from Yale University and Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities, according to a report in Ahram Online. The team members had been mapping road networks because Egyptian rock art is usually found at major crossroads. The images are said to represent formative stages of hieroglyphic script, which appeared in Upper Egypt around 3250 B.C. For example, John Coleman Darnell of Yale University said that one panel is engraved with a bull's head on a short pole, and two saddle bill storks standing back to back with a bald ibis above them. The images were placed from right to left, in a similar fashion as later Egyptian texts. "These symbols are not phonetic writing, but appear to provide the intellectual background for moving from depictions of the natural world to hieroglyphs that wrote the sounds of the ancient Egyptian language," Darnell said. For more, go to "Egypt's Final Redoubt in Canaan."
SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA—The Shreveport Times reports that the cornerstone, a pillar, and the central aisle of the original St. John's Church have been uncovered by a team of researchers from the Cathedral of St. John Berchmans and Louisiana State University, Shreveport. Historian Cheryl White compared current and historic city maps and examined old photographs to pinpoint the site of the original church, which was built by the Jesuits in 1902, on what is now private land. "We came within inches of the front door on the first day," White said. The team also recovered ceramics dating to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, iron hardware, religious items, coins, bottles, and pieces of glass.

ANGLESEY, WALES—Rock art, pottery deposits, flint tools, and a burial cairn were discovered during recent excavations in the area surrounding Bryn Celli Ddu, a 5,000-year-old mound-covered passage tomb in North Wales. According to a report in The Guardian, a ground-penetrating radar survey suggests that the cairn could be part of a larger cemetery located behind the mound. "We know that Bryn Celli Ddu sits in a much more complicated landscape than previously thought," said archaeologist Seren Griffiths of the University of Central Lancashire. For more, go to "Letter From Wales: Hillforts of the Iron Age."
COLUMBIA, MISSOURI—A team led by Robert Benfer, a professor emeritus at the University of Missouri, examined a volcano-shaped earthwork in the Nepeña Valley of coastal Peru thought to have been constructed by the Yungas people. Live Science reports that when the researchers dug into the "crater" at the top of the 50-foot mound, known as El Volcán, they found a collapsed stairwell that descended past a layer of adobe bricks to a mud-plaster floor and a fireplace. Charcoal and pieces of shell in the fireplace were radiocarbon dated to between A.D. 1492 and 1602. Benfer thinks the Yungas may have used the earthwork and the fireplace in ceremonies to celebrate four eclipses that occurred in the sixteenth century. The structure itself may have been built much earlier. For more, go to "Letter from Peru: Connecting Two Realms."
JERUSALEM, ISRAEL—According to a report in Live Science, new dates for a stone tower at Gihon Spring indicate that it was built 1,000 years later than had been previously thought. The tower, situated downhill from Jerusalem, guarded the city's water supply. The original estimated date for the tower's construction was based upon the Middle Bronze Age style of pottery and other artifacts at the site. Elisabetta Boaretto of the Weizmann Institute of Science and her colleagues examined the base of the tower, and found archaeological layers in the soil beneath its large boulders. Charcoal, seeds, and bones from the middle and lower layers of sediment were radiocarbon dated to about 1700 B.C. But samples in sediments near a large cornerstone yielded dates between 900 and 800 B.C. Boaretto said the new Iron Age date for the massive tower will have repercussions for other attempts to date construction and occupation in ancient Jerusalem. For more on archaeology in Israel, go to "Autumn of the Master Builder."
BASEL, SWITZERLAND—According to a report in Swiss Info, researchers from the University of Basel, the University of Zurich, and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo re-examined a 3,000-year-old prosthetic toe discovered in Egypt's Sheikh 'Abd el-Qurna necropolis with modern imaging techniques, including microscopy, X-ray technology, and computed tomography. The prosthesis belonged to the daughter of a priest whose big right toe appears to have been amputated. The wooden toe had been refitted several times. "They often wore sandals, so you can imagine that a well-formed foot was important," said Andrea Loprieno-Gnirs of the University of Basel. "The wooden toe shows that she had a certain living standard, and also that there were craftsmen capable of making such prosthetics." For more on archaeology in Egypt, go to "Afterlife on the Nile."
TURIN, ITALY—Live Science reports that an international team of researchers has used computed tomography scanning to reconstruct the face of Nebiri, an Egyptian dignitary who lived during the reign of the 18th Dynasty pharaoh Thutmose III (r. 1479‒1425 B.C.) and was buried in the Valley of the Queens. His tomb was plundered in antiquity, and his body destroyed, but Italian Egyptologist Ernesto Schiaparelli recovered his head and canopic jars containing his internal organs in the early twentieth century. The remains are now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Turin. Chemical analysis indicated that Nebiri's head and brain were carefully packed with linen bandages treated with a mixture of animal fat or plant oil, an aromatic plant, a coniferous resin, and heated Pistacia resin, or mastic. "We were able to add strength to the argument that Nebiri was [a] high elite," Robert Loynes of the University of Manchester said of the meticulous packing job, which protected the remains from insects and maintained the head's lifelike appearance. For more, go to "Egypt's Final Redoubt in Canaan."
MODIIN-MACCABIM-RE'UT, ISRAEL—The Times of Israel reports that more than 2,500 volunteers and students from the fourth through twelfth grades have assisted the Israel Antiquities Authority with the excavation of a Crusader fortress tower at Givat Tittora, a strategically located hilltop site in central Israel. Excavation director Avraham Tendler said that many pieces of jewelry have been uncovered in the tower's inner courtyard, where clay ovens, cooking pots, jars, serving dishes, a table, olive pits, grains, charred grape pips, and animal bones were also found. Tendler explained that over a period of hundreds of years, working women probably lost the jewelry, which includes rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and hair pins. The site will eventually become part of a nature park. To read about another discovery in Israel, go to "Byzantine Riches."
MUNICH, GERMANY—Live Science reports that a 3,400-year-old tomb on Sai Island in northern Sudan has been investigated by a team of scientists with the AcrossBorders archaeological research project. The tomb's multiple chambers hold the remains of more than a dozen people who may have lived on the island and worked in its gold mines. In addition to the human remains, the team members found scarabs, ceramic vessels, a gold ring, and gold funerary masks. A shabti, or small stone sculpture, discovered in the tomb may have been intended to do the work of the deceased in the afterlife. Inscriptions on the artifacts indicate the tomb had been built for Khnummose, a master gold worker. Julia Budka of Ludwig-Maximillians University said that DNA analysis of the remains in the tomb could reveal any possible relationships between the tomb's occupants. Tests could also reveal whether the bodies were mummified. Traces of bitumen, a type of petroleum used by the ancient Egyptians in the process of mummification, have been found, but the bodies and coffins are poorly preserved. For more, go to "Miniature Pyramids of Sudan."
LEUVEN, BELGIUM—Cat domestication is thought to be linked to the beginning of agriculture, when early farmers first stored rodent-attracting grains. According to a report in Seeker, a team led by Claudio Ottoni of the University of Leuven analyzed the DNA of 200 domestic cats who lived over a period spanning 9,000 years in the Near East, Egypt, Europe, north and east Africa, and southwest Asia. The study suggests that all domesticated cats descend from the African wildcat Felis silvestris, and were first tamed in the Near East some 10,000 years ago. The animals traveled with migrating farmers to Europe, and later spread out from Egypt on rodent-infested trade ships. Ottoni explained, however, that it is unclear whether the Egyptian domesticated cat descended from domesticated cats imported from the Near East, or whether a second, separate, domestication took place in Egypt. Most house cats alive today descend from cats that can be traced back to Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. The DNA analysis also revealed that the blotched coat pattern did not become common in cats until the medieval period. Until then, most cats were striped. For more on felines in the archaeological record, go to "Baby Bobcat."
HRUBIESZÓW, POLAND—Science & Scholarship in Poland reports that a medieval sword was recovered from a peat bog in southeast Poland and donated to the Fr. Stanislaw Staszic Museum. The well-balanced weapon measures almost four feet long and is only missing the padding on its two-handed hilt, which was probably covered with wood, bone, or antler. An isosceles cross in a heraldic shield on the rear bar of the sword may have been the blacksmith's maker's mark. Conservators will look for additional marks on the blade. According to museum director Bartlomiej Bartecki, archaeologists will investigate the site where the sword was found to look for possible clues as to how it landed in the bog. Did a knight lose his weapon, or are his remains and the rest of his equipment still in the ground? "This is a unique find in the region," Bartecki said. "It's worth pointing out that while there are similar artifacts in museum collections, their place of discovery is often unknown, and that is very important information for historians and archaeologists." The sword will be conserved in Warsaw and eventually returned to the Fr. Stanislaw Staszic Museum. For more, go to "Off the Grid: Krakow, Poland."
EXETER, ENGLAND—BBC News reports that traces of a wealthy medieval city, complete with a twelfth-century mosque and Islamic burials and headstones, have been discovered at Harlaa, located in eastern Ethiopia. Pottery, glass vessel fragments, rock crystal, carnelian, glass beads, and cowry shells imported from Madagascar, the Maldives, Yemen, and China have been uncovered, along with bronze and silver Egyptian coins dating to the thirteenth century. Timothy Insoll of the University of Exeter explained that high-quality jewelry was made at the site with silver, bronze, semi-precious stones, and glass beads, using technology usually associated with jewelry made in India at that time. He thinks that jewelers from India may have been among the people who migrated to the cosmopolitan city at Harlaa. And, the mosque at the site resembles those built in Tanzania and Somaliland, which suggests that the people who lived at Harlaa also had contact with other Islamic communities in Africa. Human remains from the site are being analyzed for further information. For more, go to "Stone Towns of the Swahili Coast."
CANNON BEACH, OREGON—According to a report in The Daily Astorian, a walker discovered a piece of wood on the northern Oregon coast that may have come from a nineteenth-century shipwreck. The piece of wood, cut from old-growth timber, measures about 18 feet long and is marked with notches, square cut-outs, and square nails. "In general shipwrecks are pretty common on the coast, but if it were actually that old it would be a rare situation," said Christopher Dewey of the Maritime Archaeological Society. A state archaeologist has been asked to evaluate the find. For more on the archaeology of shipwrecks, go to "Is it Esmeralda?"
BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA—Live Science reports that researchers led by bioarchaeologist Christina Cheung of Simon Fraser University analyzed skeletal remains from the royal cemetery of Yinxu, the capital of Shang Dynasty China from the sixteenth century B.C. to the eleventh century B.C. The cemetery contains royal burials, and more than 2,500 pits holding the remains of sacrificial victims. Oracle bone inscriptions found at the site indicate that many of those who had been sacrificed were captured during wars. Cheung and her colleagues measured the levels of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur isotopes in the bones of 68 sacrificial victims found in the pits, and compared them with the remains of 39 people who had been buried in a residential neighborhood of Yinxu. The results of the tests suggest that the locals and the sacrificial victims all ate a subsistence diet based on millet, but the locals also consumed, wheat, rice, and perhaps wild fish and deer. The composition of the victims' larger bones also indicates that they had not always eaten food from the Yinxu area, and may have only lived there for a few years. Cheung thinks the captives probably spent their time in Yinxu working as enslaved laborers. For more, go to "China's Legendary Flood."
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL—The Times of Israel reports that a new technique for performing multispectral imaging with readily available, relatively inexpensive materials, has revealed additional writing on a fragment of 3,000-year-old pottery unearthed at Tel Arad, where 91 ostraca were discovered on a floor in a single room in the 1960s. The visible inscriptions recorded lists of supplies and orders from military quartermasters. Archaeologist Israel Finkelstein, physicist Eli Piasetzky, and imaging lab and system manager Michael Cordonsky of Tel Aviv University were testing the new imaging system in an effort to improve the clarity of the texts on the ostraca, when Cordonsky flipped a piece of pottery and discovered writing on its opposite side that had been invisible to the naked eye. "It means that every university or archaeological dig can build the camera," to look for faded inscriptions, explained applied mathematician Arie Shaus. To read about an ancient Egyptian ostracon, go to "Artifact."
PORT OF DYSNES, ICELAND—Iceland Magazine reports that four Viking-era burials have been discovered at Eyjafjörður fjord in North Iceland. Two of the intact burials, which date to the ninth or tenth centuries, appear to have been placed in a line. They both contain boats, but one of them has been badly damaged by ocean erosion and half of its boat is missing. Archaeologists led by Hildur Gestsdóttir recovered human bones, a Viking sword, and dog teeth from the grave. The second boat burial is also thought to contain the remains of a Viking chief who was buried with his dog and his sword. For more, go to "Hoards of the Vikings."

At mid-ocean ridges, a variety of crustal processes overprint mantle-derived melts and can obscure original mantle compositions. To address the nature of this crustal filter, we report 87Sr/86Sr ratios from plagioclase phenocrysts and host glasses in mid-oceanic-ridge basalts from the Juan de Fuca Ridge, Blanco Transform Zone, and the Southwest Indian Ridge. Microdrilled isotopic analyses reveal significant inter- and intracrystalline disequilibria within individual samples. These disequilibria suggest that a range of isotopically distinct melt components contribute to individual plagioclase crystals and to the magmas that transport them to the surface. Low Cl/K values both in the host glass and in plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions largely rule out incorporation of seawater-derived material as an explanation for differences in 87Sr/86Sr. Instead, the observed heterogeneity implies derivation of magmas from isotopically diverse mantle sources. Importantly, the range of Sr isotope values preserved in a single sample is similar to the range of compositions seen at the ridge segment scale. Unlike analyses of host glass compositions, which are the result of extensive crustal processing, isotopic analyses of phenocryst phases record fine-scale aggregation of these distinct mantle-derived melts and are thus an important and underutilized tool in interpreting the nature of the mid-oceanic-ridge basalts.
The role of heterogeneity in the upper mantle in controlling the chemical and isotopic compositions of mid-oceanic-ridge basalts (MORBs) is a key issue for constraining the nature of Earth's depleted upper mantle reservoir. MORBs are noted for their high degree of homogeneity relative to ocean island basalts and arc volcanics (Hofmann, 1997), and although this has been argued to reflect melting of a broadly homogeneous mantle (Hofmann, 1997) or larger degrees of melting (Rubin and Sinton, 2007), there is also widespread consensus that upper mantle heterogeneity contributes to variations in MORB chemistry (Batiza, 1984; Holness and Richter, 1989; Rubin et al., 2009; Salters and Dick, 2002). What remain less clear are the scales at which such heterogeneities are manifest within upper mantle material, and the degree to which variable mantle sources contribute to individual MORB magmas. One important limitation for many existing studies is that they are based on the composition of quenched MORB glasses, which represent the liquid fraction present at the time of eruption. However, these liquids are also the product of a complex magma supply system, and thus mantle-derived variations are obscured by extensive crystal differentiation, melt-rock reaction, melt aggregation, and mixing (Rubin et al., 2009; Sinton and Detrick, 1992). Variable melt inclusion compositions from an individual MORB suggest that magmas aggregate from diverse melts, but these data are difficult to interpret in terms of mantle heterogeneity alone (Sobolev and Shimizu, 1993; Van Orman et al., 2002; Danyushevsky et al., 2002; Cottrell et al., 2002). Here we present microdrilled Sr isotope compositions of plagioclase crystals from MORBs from slow and intermediate spreading centers. These data provide a robust means to gauge contributions from heterogeneous mantle sources, and document a range of complex relationships between plagioclase phenocrysts and their host glass. Importantly, the ranges of compositions observed within crystals and between crystals and host glass are comparable to that evident at the scale of ridge segments. The Sr isotope variations we observe reflect contributions from highly heterogeneous mantle sources at temporal or spatial scales sufficiently fine to be sampled by individual crystals during crystal growth.
Mid-ocean ridges are the most productive magmatic environments on Earth, producing some 20 km3/yr of magma (Hofmann, 1997). Correlations between spreading rates, extent of magma differentiation, and chemical and isotopic variance (Rubin et al., 2009) highlight the importance of crustal processes in modifying primitive MORB compositions, and suggest that studies of erupted glass alone are insufficient in resolving the range of mantle contributions and the degree to which these contributions are overprinted within the crust. Studies of olivine- and plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions demonstrate that large compositional diversity exists in the melts that contribute to individual MORBs (Sobolev and Shimizu, 1993; Adams et al., 2011; Laubier et al., 2012). However, there is no consensus as to the causes of these variations. Suggested mechanisms include mixing of melts derived from a range of mantle source components (Laubier et al., 2012; Maclennan, 2008), near-fractional melting of a homogeneous mantle source (Sobolev and Shimizu, 1993), and melt-rock reaction or diffusional fractionation during melt transport (Van Orman et al., 2002; Danyushevsky et al., 2002; Spiegelman and Kelemen, 2003). Further, questions remain about the effects of inclusion formation on melt composition (Cottrell et al., 2002). Although radiogenic isotope compositions have been used to place important constraints on melt inclusions (Maclennan, 2008; Saal et al., 2005), technical limitations have largely prevented precise measurements of radiogenic isotope signatures in trace element–depleted MORB melt inclusions. However, a largely unexploited source of information exists in the early-formed phenocryst phases themselves. The resistance of crystalline solids to mechanical mixing and re-equilibration allow phenocrysts to potentially preserve a record of the geochemical conditions at early phases of magmatic differentiation. Plagioclase phenocrysts are particularly useful because of the prevalence of feldspar in MORBs (Bryan, 1983), relatively slow diffusion rates of many elements (Grove et al., 1984; Costa et al., 2010), and the relatively high content of a number of useful trace elements (e.g., Sr, Ti, Ba, light rare earth elements [LREEs]) not present in olivine (Adams et al., 2011). The utility of isotopic profiles within plagioclase has been demonstrated dramatically by studies of arc rocks (Davidson and Tepley, 1997), revealing the complexity of processes in the generation of arc magmas. Measuring the isotopic composition of phenocryst phases thus provides an independent and robust measure of the nature of the parental melts that contribute to an individual magma.
Plagioclase and groundmass samples were drilled using a Merchantek MicroMill at Oregon State University (United States). Core and rim samples were drilled from multiple phenocrysts in one-inch epoxy mounts. Additional samples were drilled from the groundmass directly adjacent to the phenocryst to test for variation between the phenocryst and the host liquid, using the method detailed in Charlier et al. (2006). Groundmass was mostly glassy; however, multiple samples of groundmass were drilled and measured to ensure homogeneity. Sample weight was estimated at 20–80 μg yielding 10–20 ng of Sr. Sr was separated during column chemistry using cation exchange resin with blanks averaging 30 pg. Further details of methodology are found in Ramos and Tepley (2008) and references therein. The high-precision 87Sr/86Sr measurements of unspiked aliquots were conducted by thermal ionization mass spectrometry at New Mexico State University using a dynamic peak jumping routine. All ratios were normalized to 86Sr/88Sr = 0.1194 to account for mass fractionation. 84Sr/86Sr was also monitored during analyses, and these values and the NBS 987 standard values are reported in Table DR1 in the GSA Data Repository1. Reproducibility was estimated from multiple runs of the E32 glass and long-term machine reproducibility of NBS 987 at 0.00002. Major element analyses of glass and melt inclusions were performed on the Cameca SX-100 at Oregon State University. Only glassy melt inclusions were chosen for analysis.
We have examined Sr isotope systematics of plagioclase-phyric MORB samples from three spreading ridges in order to evaluate the range of Sr isotope compositions preserved in phenocrysts and to compare these to the composition of the erupted liquid fraction, as represented by quenched glass or groundmass. Micromilling techniques allow sampling of multiple zones within phenocrysts, which are then purified by low-blank column chemistry before analysis by thermal ionization mass spectrometry (Davidson and Tepley, 1997; Charlier et al., 2006). Low concentrations of Sr in these plagioclase (100–280 ppm) necessitated sampling of relatively large crystals (>500 μm). This study utilizes on-axis MORBs with abundant large plagioclase phenocrysts, which appear to be restricted to ridges with ultraslow to intermediate spreading rates (Flower, 1980). Highly plagioclase-phyric lavas (>15 mod%) have been considered to represent anomalous MORBs (Bryan, 1983; Allan et al., 1989); however, a comparison of host glass compositions between highly plagioclase-phyric MORBs and more typical sparsely phyric to aphyric samples from the same ridge segments shows that highly plagioclase-phyric samples have glass compositions that overlap those of aphyric MORBs, and do not appear anomalous in any respect other than modal plagioclase abundance (Fig. 1). As a result, we conclude that these lavas are a valid proxy for studying MORB petrogenesis in general. In addition, the similarity in compositional range between phyric and aphyric lavas suggests that the high modal proportions of plagioclase are likely the result of physical processes and not controlled by the chemical properties of the host lava.
Our primary observation (Fig. 2) is that most plagioclase phenocrysts studied exhibit a range of Sr isotope compositions, and in most cases the range of Sr isotopes observed in a small number of plagioclase crystals rivals the range observed in all lavas from that particular ridge segment (Fig. 3). Sample D22 from Juan de Fuca Ridge contains host glass with an average 87Sr/86Sr ratio of 0.702454 (n = 3) and plagioclase ranging from 0.702349 ± 0.000011 to 0.702479 ± 0.000013. Sample 15-1-2 from the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) contains host glass with an average 87Sr/86Sr of 0.704307 (n = 2) and plagioclase ranging from 0.703380 ± 0.000013 to 0.703808 ± 0.00001. Sample A91 1R2 from the Blanco Transform Zone contains host glass with an average 87Sr/86Sr of 0.702355 (n = 3) and plagioclase ranging from 0.702408 ± 0.000011 to 0.702481 ± 0.000014. At the Blanco Transform Zone, the more radiogenic values we observe in plagioclase are consistent with plagioclase-hosted melt inclusion compositions, which suggest that the plagioclase crystallized from a more enriched liquid than the host glass (Adams et al., 2011). In contrast, SWIR 15-1-2 includes a highly radiogenic glass (0.7043) with significantly less radiogenic phenocrysts (∼0.7036). The high 87Sr/86Sr in the glass is consistent with contribution from a continental-like end member that has been identified within the mantle source beneath the SWIR (Meyzen et al., 2005). Another sample studied from the same ridge segment (17-1-3; see the Data Repository) shows less radiogenic glass (average 87Sr/86Sr of 0.703006, n = 3) with a higher degree of homogeneity between the glass and phenocrysts, suggesting that the magma storage conditions are highly variable even within a single segment.
In addition to disequilibria between crystals and the host glass, there are also resolvable internal variations within some plagioclase phenocrysts (Fig. 2C). Intracrystalline Sr isotopic disequilibria, where present, provide evidence that a single phenocryst has interacted with multiple generations of melts of varying Sr isotope composition during growth. Due to low concentration of Sr and the relatively large amount of plagioclase needed for high-precision analysis, our sampling was coarse and only allowed for Sr isotopic analyses of crystal cores and rims, meaning that the observed variation should be considered a minimum. Even with this limited spatial resolution, our data demonstrate that some plagioclase phenocrysts in MORBs preserve significant isotopic variations, and that the Sr isotope compositions of these crystals often differ from the melts that ultimately transport the plagioclase to the site of eruption. In order to preserve these isotopic disequilibria, crystals cannot be kept at magmatic temperatures for an extended period, as this would result in diffusive re-equilibration (Davidson et al., 2001). This time was estimated in crystals preserving disequilibria using an anorthite-corrected diffusion coefficient for Sr (Zellmer et al., 1999) and the distance between drill locations. In order to erase the disequilibria across 250 μm, the shortest length scale we measured, the crystal would have to be held at 1200 °C for over 450 years, suggesting that these crystals were not held at magmatic temperatures for significant periods. The intracrystalline disequilibria were likely formed during episodic crystal growth through interaction with isotopically distinct melts.
One potential way to generate Sr isotope diversity is through assimilation of seawater-altered crustal rocks, and this is a noted process affecting MORBs, although it is typically more common in fast spreading environments (Michael and Cornell, 1998). As seawater has higher 87Sr/86Sr in comparison to most MORBs (∼0.709 and ∼0.703, respectively; Bach et al., 2003), assimilation of altered basalt or seawater-derived brines will produce more radiogenic Sr isotope magma compositions. We can assess the role of seawater assimilation through Cl and Cl/K systematics. Because seawater is highly elevated in Cl and Cl/K with respect to mantle-derived basalts, assimilation of seawater, seawater-derived brines, or seawater-altered ocean crust is evident in Cl/K values above the interpreted mantle range of 0.05–0.08 (Michael and Cornell, 1998). The range of Cl/K observed in groundmass glass and plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions from our samples extends from values within the typical mantle range to values that are slightly higher, up to ∼0.17, which is consistent with addition of relatively small amounts of seawater-derived Cl (up to 0.2%; Fig. 4). Recent studies have expanded the range of mantle Cl estimates to include all of the values we measured (Kendrick et al., 2012). Mixing calculations (Fig. 4) show that addition of the small amount of assimilant required to elevate Cl and Cl/K would have almost no effect on 87Sr/86Sr. The potential variation of Sr isotope composition due to this assimilation is much less than the differences we observe within plagioclase crystals and between crystals and host glass. Thus addition of seawater-derived components is unlikely to explain the observed variation in 87Sr/86Sr in our samples. Given that the isotopic compositions of MORB sources are known to be variable over a range of length scales (Batiza, 1984; Holness and Richter, 1989), including variation at the subsegment scale (Bergmanis et al., 2007), we conclude that the most likely source of the Sr isotope variations we see are contributions from different mantle sources.
Our data have important ramifications for the nature of the mantle sources that contribute to MORBs, and show that the compositional heterogeneity in individual MORBs evident in melt inclusion populations (Sobolev and Shimizu, 1993; Adams et al., 2011) is also matched by variations in isotopic compositions. However, as the chemical compositions of melt inclusions may be modified during melting (Sobolev and Shimizu, 1993), melt transport (Van Orman et al., 2002), crustal processing, and inclusion formation (Cottrell et al., 2002), they are difficult to interpret solely in terms of mantle source heterogeneity. In contrast, the Sr isotope composition remains largely unmodified by melt transport processes, and thus more closely reflects the Sr isotope compositions derived from mantle sources. The variations in 87Sr/86Sr we observe within phenocrysts, and between phenocrysts and groundmass, demonstrate the variability of mantle sources that contribute to individual mid-ocean ridge systems, and show that these source contributions vary at spatial or temporal scales fine enough to be sampled by individual crystals. This suggests that the apparent homogeneity of MORBs can result from extensive aggregation of isotopically diverse melts during crustal magma processing rather than reflecting homogeneity of melt sources (Lundstrom et al., 2000; Rubin et al., 2009). The apparent homogeneity of MORBs is further accentuated by the emphasis on quenched glass compositions in MORB data sets. Our data show that using only glass analyses dramatically limits our abilities to characterize the nature of primitive MORB liquids and the crustal processing that overprints them. Trace element and isotopic data from MORB phenocrysts are a previously underexploited source of information on crustal construction processes. Use of such phenocryst information, together with glass data, represents a fundamental change in how MORB lavas are analyzed and in the potential sophistication of our models for heat and mass transport in the oceanic crust.

Recent tax ruling affects M&A negotiations
Taxand USA describes the IRS's willingness to bifurcate amortisable intangibles where anti-churning is an issue.
When it comes to acquisitions and tax, there is nothing buyers love more than a good step-up. Check that — a great step-up. A step-up in the tax basis of the acquired assets allows the buyer to amortise the resulting identifiable intangibles and goodwill/going concern over a 15-year period. A step-up in tax basis can be achieved through several acquisition structures (direct asset purchase, purchase of partnership interests, purchase of S corporation in connection with a Section 338(h)(10) election, Section 336(e) election, etc.).
Unfortunately, when dealing with a business that has certain intangibles, specifically goodwill, going concern and trademarks (and possibly workforce) that existed prior to 10 August 1993, the nefarious anti-churning rules come into play that may taint the step-up and limit or disallow the amortisation of the aforementioned intangibles. However, on 3 March 2017, the IRS released Private Letter Ruling (PLR) 201709003, which gives hope to buyers purchasing a business with potential anti-churning assets.

Taxand's Take
This is great news for sellers and buyers alike that have been able to track and trace the source of their step-ups. Documentation of transactions with related elections, such as Section 754 elections, that give rise to step-ups is paramount in defending a company's deductions before federal or state taxing authorities. Moreover, tracing transactions that give rise to deductions is especially important when a selling company is looking to monetise the step-up in a future sale.

A Rycerz is a member of a warrior tradition that is heavily interwoven in the feudal culture of the Siedem Królestw and the Wiara w Siedmiu. Rycerzs occupy a social standing between that of lords and Prostaczkowie. Contrary to the nobility, this rank is not hereditary and it is possible for the baseborn to become Rycerzs. Rycerzs are referred to with the title "Ser".
Spis treści
Rycerzhood has its roots in Andalowie culture and was brought to Westeros during the Andal Invasion. The military success of the Andals' mounted Rycerzs and their steel armament proved vital to the Andals' conquest of Westeros. The influence of the Andals on the culture of Westeros has made Rycerzs the backbone of warfare in the Siedem Królestw. However, Rycerzhood holds less cultural significance in areas of Westeros that are less assimilated to Andal culture, such as the Północ, the Żelazne Wyspy, and Dorne.
Rycerzs suppose to be brave, courageous, honorable, true to their word, and loyal to their feudal overlord, and to defend their faith. In practice, most Rycerzs fall short of sustaining such high and noble ideals. Many don't even try particularly hard, and seek Rycerzhood mainly for the prestige and opportunities.
To a degree, that is understandable and perhaps unavoidable; for bastards and smallfolk, Rycerzhood is one of the very few paths for improving their social standing and monetary perspectives that does not involve seriously restrictive vows such as celibacy or abstination from marrying, having children or owning lands of their own. On the downside, Rycerzhood by itself brings few advantages and significant expenses and risks. But it opens the doors for significant opportunities as well.
In reality, skill at arms is the most important aspect of Rycerzhood. Rycerzs are expected to fight whenever there is a need for them. They traditionally fight as heavy cavalry, wearing plate armor and fighting from horseback with lance, sword and shield. Some Rycerzs choose to fight with other weapons such as axes, hammers, and spears as well. They own at least one horse, and typically own two: a fierce warhorse and a milder horse for daily riding.
Rycerzs display a coat-of-arms on their shield and surcoat to identify themselves. They generally wear their family arms. Those who do not have family arms, or do not wish to use them, can create their own. These personal arms often portray the manner in which the man achieved Rycerzhood or have some other personal significance. Many Rycerzs wear large crests on their helms that embellish the theme of their arms. Wealthy Rycerzs often seek to further distinguish themselves by wearing ornate weapons and armor. Lacquered or jeweled armor and capes of exotic materials are some ways that Rycerzs can flaunt their status.
Becoming a Rycerz
The traditional process to becoming a Rycerz has three stages.
- Page, A boy that becomes a page is attached to a Rycerz, who becomes the boy's master. The sons of many Rycerzs and lords are sent to foster with relatives or allies, while other pages serve their own fathers. The page performs simple errands for the Rycerz, who in turn begins to train the boy in vital skills, such as jousting and swordsmanship. Typical training involves sparring with blunted weapons and tilting at rings.
- Squire, When a boy reaches adolescence, he graduates to being a squire. Squires learn to properly care for and use of weapons, armor, and horses as well as learn about Chivalry. In time of war Squires join their masters in war, assisting them with their equipment and fighting by their side in battles. Some squires choose to never become a full Rycerz, and live the rest of their lives as squires. This may be because the individual does not have the inclination to live a Rycerz's martial lifestyle, or does not have the funds to properly equip himself.[1]
- Rycerzhood, Any Rycerz can proclaim another man a Rycerz for whatever reason he chooses. This usually happens when a squire reaches adulthood and his master judges him worthy of accepting the responsibilities of a Rycerz. A man who has not been raised in the Rycerzly tradition can also be made a Rycerz as a reward for service. This is often granted to soldiers or other smallfolk who have shown bravery or performed a great feat. Rycerzhood is considered valuable to smallfolk, as it raises a commoner's social standing. Rycerzhood is seen as primarily a martial position, so even the sons of powerful lords are not necessarily Rycerzed if they are incapable of fulfilling the requirements. Doing otherwise would lose honor rather than gain it, and would make a lord and his family be held up to ridicule, this social pressure generally prevents Rycerzs from giving out Rycerzhoods for petty or selfish reasons.[1]
The Rycerzing Ceremony
The ceremony to create a Rycerz can be simple or complex, however, it always involves the man kneeling before a Rycerz and being tapped on the shoulders with a sword. Ceremonies usually have religious overtones involving the Wiara w Siedmiu. When Rycerzed, men are often charged in the name of the Seven to be just and honorable. More elaborate Rycerzhood ceremonies involve the prospective Rycerz sitting a night's vigil at a sept, before the figure of the Warrior, he may lay his sword before or upon the figure, and their armor piled at its base. Followed by walking barefoot from the sept to the Rycerzing place to prove their humble hearts.[2] They wear shifts of undyed wool to receive their Rycerzhood, which is marked by the putting on of the swordbelt after dubbing.[3] Newly-Rycerzed men are also sometimes anointed with seven oils by a septon.[4] It is considered a great honor for the recipient when individuals of high status or fame perform the ceremony.
Part of the Rycerzing ceremony, starts with person name and House(if he has one), then:
|a touch on the right shoulder with the blade. "In the name of the Warrior I charge you to be brave."
The sword moves from right shoulder to left. "In the name of the Father I charge you to be just."
Right shoulder. "In the name of the Mother I charge you to defend the young and innocent."
The left. "In the name of the Maid I charge you to protect all women....[5]
Types of Rycerzs
- Hedge Rycerz, A hedge Rycerz is a wandering Rycerz without a master. Hedge Rycerzs are so named because most of their worldly wealth is in their arms and horses and they generally must sleep outdoors, under a hedge. Most hedge Rycerzs travel in search of employment and often attend jousts to make money and display their prowess in hopes of being hired. Less scrupulous hedge Rycerzs put their martial training to use by resorting to banditry.[6] For this reason, hedge Rycerzs are often mistrusted and considered disreputable. The term "hedge Rycerz" itself is considered disparaging. [7]
- Sworn sword, Some landless Rycerzs become sworn swords to other men, taking them as their master. They act as retainers for their master, taking food, shelter, and money in exchange for their services in war, should they be needed. During a campaign, lords often hire a large number of sworn swords on a temporary basis. After the campaign ends and the lord has no further need for so many Rycerzs, they are released and become hedge Rycerzs once again.
- Landed Rycerz, A landed Rycerz is a Rycerz that takes residence in a keep with accompanying land. They have their own peasants and men-at-arms, and may even take sworn swords. Landed Rycerzs are sworn to fight for the lord who holds dominion over their land. While the wealthiest Rycerzs manage more land than the poorest lords, landed Rycerzs do not have the authority to deliver justice in their land. Rather, they must appeal to their liege lord.[8]
- Północern cavalry, Because few Północerners worship the Seven, they rarely choose to become Rycerzs. However, the warrior tradition of Północ is very similar to that of Rycerzhood. Heavy cavalrymen in Północ serve a nearly identical function to Rycerzs in the South, and are considered Rycerzs in all but name.
- True Rycerz, A Rycerz who embodies all that a Rycerz should be, that is, a perfect Rycerz exemplifying all the qualities of what Rycerzhood stands for and fully follows oath of Rycerzhood.

Update January 2014: Scroll down to see the revised Advanced Phonics Patterns book and the Advanced Decoding Practice book, with related materials.
Original Post 2011: This book is designed for students who are already reading. Use it with first graders after they have mastered the basic phonics patterns and with second grade and up. It introduces many new phonogram patterns and also a number of ending syllables, prefixes and suffixes. Each set of patterns to be studied is shown on a house chart. The charts can be copied and posted on the wall to form a "sound city." The phonogram patterns on each house chart will prepare students to read a new trade book. Students practice the patterns by reading word lists and sentences. Teachers and parents are encouraged to purchase or borrow the correlated children's books for students to read.
This book has 260 pages. You may want to print only the pages you need for a particular lesson. If you want to print the whole book, it can be bound with plastic comb binding or punched and put into a three ring binder.
