	Buckler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A buckler (French bouclier 'shield', from old French bocle, boucle 'boss') is a small shield gripped in the fist -- it was generally used in hand-to-hand combat during the Middle Ages, as its size made it poor protection against missile weapons (e.g., arrows) but useful in deflecting the blow of an opponent's sword or mace.
		The buckler had a variety of roles when it came to swordplay, but three principal means come to the fore.
		As a blinder: The light blades used in conjunction with the buckler depended on rapid movements, which meant that a single second was an important advantage.

	Sword and Buckler Fencing
		Although, the sword and buckler is often associated with the fencing methods of the early 1500s and with the common serving man, it was a form of fighting with a much longer tradition.
		A buckler differs from a shield in that the latter is carried by straps and worn on the arm whereas the former is held in single-hand in a “fist” grip.
		John Stow wrote in 1631 how using the buckler’s long “pyke” (a spikes 8- 12 inches long) it was the habit of the old fighters “either to breake the swords of their enemies, or suddenly to runne into them and stab”.

	From Corn-Bred Statistics to High-Tech Breeding
		Buckler says his predecessors have earmarked so many genes which could possibly control traits of interest that, without statistics, "we may select the right gene only 10 percent of the time.

	Maize's starch pathway found limited
		That's important, says Dr. Ed Buckler, U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) researcher, assistant professor of genetics at NC State and one of the study's lead researchers, because molecular diversity essentially provides scientists and plant breeders the raw materials to make the crop better.
		Buckler and colleagues at NC State and the University of California, Irvine, publish their findings in the Oct. 1 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
		Buckler says limited diversity in starch and perhaps other, yet-to-be-studied maize pathways make it harder for plant breeders to increase yields of the popular crop.

		Ernest Buckler's The Mountain and the Valley (1952) is a fine example of the pastoral impulse, and its meaning is greatly illuminated when viewed within the framework of the pastoral tradition.
		When the novel is considered in these terms, one is able to perceive the profound manner in which Buckler transforms his geographically-, chronologically- and morally-defined pastoral world into a spiritual landscape itself symbolic of the mind of his semi-autobiographical protagonist, David Canaan….

		A descendant of Loyalist settlers who resided in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley, Ernest Buckler was the only son born to Appleton and Mary Buckler on July 19, 1908.
		Buckler’s fame largely rests with his first novel, The Mountain and the Valley (1952), although the novel’s groundwork was provided by the many short stories he had published.
		Although critics have argued that David’s failure is merely a symbol of Buckler’s success – Buckler writes, in real life, the novel (of David’s life) that David could not write – the overwhelming critical assessment is that David is undone by his own self-involvement and lack of discipline.
