United States House Committee on Rules
The Committee on Rules (or more commonly the Rules Committee) is a committee of the United States House of Representatives. It is responsible for the rules under which bills will be presented to the House of Representatives, unlike other committees, which often deal with a specific area of policy. The committee is often considered one of the most powerful committees as it influences the introduction and process of legislation through the House. Thus it has garnered the nickname the "traffic cop of Congress". A "special rule" resolution (also referred to simply as a "rule") is a simple resolution of the House of Representatives, usually reported by the Committee on Rules, to permit the immediate consideration of a legislative measure, notwithstanding the usual order of business, and to prescribe conditions for its debate and amendment.

Fragmentum Runico-Papisticum
Fragmentum Runico-Papisticum ('runic-papist fragment' in Latin) or Mary's Lament (Swedish: Marias klagan, or Mariaklagan, lit. 'Mary-lament') is an Old Danish/Old Scanian Medieval Runic text, written in the 14th–15th century. It is one of the longest pre-modern runic texts to survive, only second to the Codex Runicus.

The text was found around the year 1700 by Swedish antiquarian Johan Peringskiöld, found as six parchments at Vallentuna Church, Sweden. It was published in 1721 by his son and successor Johan Fredrik Peringskiöld under the title "Fragmentum Runicum-Papisticum".

It is assumed to be a translation of a German work, as this type of text was very popular in Germany during the Middle Ages. However, it is not known when and how the manuscript ended up in Vallentuna in Sweden.

Medieval runes
The medieval runes, or the futhork, was a Scandinavian runic alphabet that evolved from the Younger Futhark after the introduction of stung (or dotted) runes at the end of the Viking Age. These stung runes were regular runes with the addition of either a dot diacritic or bar diacritic to indicate that the rune stood for one of its secondary sounds (so an i rune could become an e rune or a j rune when stung). The medieval futhork was fully formed in the early 13th century. Due to the expansion of its character inventory, it was essentially possible to have each character in an inscription correspond to only one phoneme, something which was virtually impossible in Younger Futhark with its small inventory of 16 runes.

Medieval runes were in use throughout Scandinavia during the Middle Ages, and provided the basis for runology beginning in the 16th century.
