materialize, materialized,

transitive verb use.to
cause to become real or actual: By building the house, we materialized

our middle class, and brutalizing our lower class” (Matthew Arnold)
intransitive verb use.to
appear in physical form from the vacuum;
to appear suddenly
materialization.noun,.plural.materializations
materializer.noun,.plural.materializers
Usage note: In its
original senses the word materialize is used intransitively to mean 'to
assume material form', such as in Marley's ghost materialized before Scrooge's
eyes or transitively to mean 'to cause to assume material form', as in
Disney materialized his dream in a plot of orchard land in Orange County.
But these uses are probably less common nowadays than two extended senses
of the intransitive sense of the verb. In the first the meaning is roughly
'to appear suddenly' as in 'No sooner had we set the menu down than a waiter
materialized at our table'. Some critics have labeled this use incorrect,
but the criticism may suggest an overliteralism; used in this way, the
verb has the sense 'to appear as if by magic'. Materialize also means 'to
take effective shape, come into existence', particularly as applied to
things or events that have been foreseen or anticipated (the promised subsidies
finally materialized; it was thought the community would oppose the measure,
but no new objections materialized). This usage has been criticized, but
it is well established in reputable
writing. See more Usage notes.

Mongol Tartars (a.k.a.
Tatars).noun
a member of any of the Turkic and Mongolian peoples
of central Asia who invaded western Asia and eastern Europe in the Middle
Ages (13th century); they were also known as Tartars of the great empire
of Tartaria.(*),
also called Tataria, a civilization that was huge and for some strange
reason, kept out of our history books; check a search engine on Tartaria;
the Mongol leader originally was Genghis Khan; under Genghis' grandson
Batu Khan eastern Europe was overtaken; the Tatars (as the Europeans came
to call them) crossed the Ural River reaching into Russia, taking Moscow,
Kyiv and other cities; they passed into Hungary and Poland; the Tatars
(also know as Tartars) imposed a control of people bureaucratic system
which included methods of tax collection; communications helped the Mongols
maintain their vast and diverse empire, common lineage also played an important
role; the great khan (king) was always selected by a convocation of the
nobles of the whole empire and, in general, all four khanates shared in
the plunder of each; it is understood that Ashkenazic Jews are native to
or have antecedents in eastern
and central Europe; their standard native language, Yiddish, is spoken
in the Baltic countries and in the northwestern areas of Russia and by
Jewish immigrants or descendants from those areas; a southern branch having
central and southeastern subgroups includes the dialects spoken in Poland,
Romania and Ukraine. It seems to have always been in the heart of these
people to become rich and powerful and to manipulate in order to gain and
maintain advantage over others by any and all means:.Isaiah
10:1-8.
Ashkenazi.(thought
it interesting that the last 4 letters of the name are 'nazi') is one of
the two major groupings of Jews (Ashkenazis and Sephardic) by geographical
origin and the corresponding cultural tradition.
The term distinguishes the medieval
Jewish communities of central and eastern Europe and their descendants
from those of the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa, known as Sephardim.
In the 10th century, the biblical eponym
Ashkenaz (see Genesis 10:3) was
used by Jews as the Hebrew name for Germany, where a distinctive Jewish
community was emerging; the are is from the Rhineland (a region along the
Rhine River in western Germany including noted vineyards and highly industrial
sections north of the cities of Bonn and Cologne), Ashkenazic Jews moved
eastward into Poland during the 15th and 16th centuries. It's interesting
to note the letters in their name spell out nazi; were these culturally
historical descendents responding as may have been their destiny?.Isaiah
