Th E Bells of St. M Ar
GOD IS GOD IS FEBRUARY 2017 Dear Saint Mary's family, We are off to a good start for 2017. As I write this letter we are just three full weeks in to the new year and already so much is happening. We have held our first Annual Meeting together, and the response has been very posi- tive. At that meeting we were able to make amendments to the church’s By-Laws that will allow us to go forward with a smaller eight person Vestry, all of whom were elected unanimously by the members present at the meeting. At our February Vestry meeting we will vote for a Junior Warden, Treasurer, and Secretary. With that accomplished we will begin the process of looking at all of the different aspects of the way we at Saint Mary’s currently do things. The end goal of that process is to identify and eliminate any barriers to growth that might not have been considered, and to find ways to improve upon many of the things we are already doing well. To that end, please begin to pray to see if God may be calling you to participate in any of the ministries that currently exist at Saint Mary’s. This is going to be a fun and exciting time for us to bond and grow together as we seek to strengthen the teams and look at the ways they function. Ushers and Greeters, the Flower and Altar Guilds, Eucharistic Ministers and Visi- tors… Perhaps you have a special talent or hobby that could be used to the Glory of God and you have never considered how. -

View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ScholarSpace at University of Hawai'i at Manoa In memory of our greatest king, Lavelua Tomasi Kulimoetoke He Aliki Hau To‘a ne‘e Atamai Masila pea mo Fakakaukau Gaholo Aga`i Fenua Vaimu`a Muliava There are three kingdoms in `Uvea mo Futuna, one in `Uvea and two in Futuna. These Polynesian kingdoms are now incorporated into the French Republic. Queen Amelia Tokagahahau Aliki Lavelua, acting in the name of the three kingdoms, signed a protectorate treaty with France, which was ratified in 1887. `Uvea mo Futuna was used by the United States as a military base during the Second World War. Under the leadership of Tomasi Kulimoetoke, who was elected king in 1959, `Uvea mo Futuna chose by referendum to become a French overseas territory, effective 1967. Because these kingdoms are small, with few natural resources, economic development is a challenge. Consequently, only about 10 percent of the population have regular jobs, and most people work for the government, the local television station, public offices, and schools. Many live in a traditional fashion, planting yams and taro, fishing, and working in the local arts. This tattoo design is dedicated to our aga`i fenua, the traditional `Uvea mo Futuna political system, without which our identity as Uveans and Futunans would have disappeared a long time ago. Similarly, Uvean and Futunan people living on the islands who don’t have regular paid work would not have survived in this “modern” world without their cultural foundation. -

Spain I. Introduction “The flag is the embodiment, not of sentiment, but of history. It represents the experiences made by men and women, the experiences of those who do and live under that flag.” Woodrow Wilson1 “FLAG, n. A colored rag borne above troops and hoisted on forts and ships. It appears to serve the same purpose as certain signs that one sees on vacant lots in London—‘Rubbish may be shot here.’” Ambrose Bierce2 The power of the flag as a national symbol was all too evident in the 1990s: the constitutional debate over flag burning in the United States; the violent removal of the communist seal from the Romanian flag; and the adoption of the former czarist flag by the Russian Federation. In the United States, Texas alone possesses a flag and seal directly descended from revolution and nationhood. The distinctive feature of INSIDE / SOMMAIRE Page both the state flag and seal, the Lone Star, is famous worldwide because of the brief Editor’s Note / Note de la rédaction 2 existence of the Republic of Texas (March 2, 1836, to December 29, 1845).3 For all Solid Vexillology 2 the Lone Star’s fame, however, there is much misinformation about it. -
THE LION FLAG Norway's First National Flag Jan Henrik Munksgaard
THE LION FLAG Norway’s First National Flag Jan Henrik Munksgaard On 27 February 1814, the Norwegian Regent Christian Frederik made a proclamation concerning the Norwegian flag, stating: The Norwegian flag shall henceforth be red, with a white cross dividing the flag into quarters. The national coat of arms, the Norwegian lion with the yellow halberd, shall be placed in the upper hoist corner. All naval and merchant vessels shall fly this flag. This was Norway’s first national flag. What was the background for this proclamation? Why should Norway have a new flag in 1814, and what are the reasons for the design and colours of this flag? The Dannebrog Was the Flag of Denmark-Norway For several hundred years, Denmark-Norway had been in a legislative union. Denmark was the leading party in this union, and Copenhagen was the administrative centre of the double monarchy. The Dannebrog had been the common flag of the whole realm since the beginning of the 16th century. The red flag with a white cross was known all over Europe, and in every shipping town the citizens were familiar with this symbol of Denmark-Norway. Two variants of The Dannebrog existed: a swallow-tailed flag, which was the king’s flag or state flag flown on government vessels and buildings, and a rectangular flag for private use on ordinary merchant ships or on private flagpoles. In addition, a number of special flags based on the Dannebrog existed. The flag was as frequently used and just as popular in Norway as in Denmark. The Napoleonic Wars Result in Political Changes in Scandinavia At the beginning of 1813, few Norwegians could imagine dissolution of the union with Denmark. -

Heraldic Terms
HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display. -

Commercial Enterprise and the Trader's Dilemma on Wallis
Between Gifts and Commodities: Commercial Enterprise and the Trader’s Dilemma on Wallis (‘Uvea) Paul van der Grijp Toa abandoned all forms of gardening, obtained a loan, and built a big shed to house six thousand infant chickens flown in from New Zealand. The chickens grew large and lovely, and Toa’s fame spread. Everyone knew he had six thousand chickens and everyone wanted to taste them. A well-bred tikong gives generously to his relatives and neighbours, especially one with thousands of earthly goods. But . Toa aimed to become a Modern Busi- nessman, forgetting that in Tiko if you give less you will lose more and if you give nothing you will lose all. epeli hau‘ofa, the tower of babel Recently, the model of the trader’s dilemma was developed as an ana- lytical perspective and applied to Southeast Asia. The present paper seeks to apply this model in Western Polynesia, where many Islanders, after earning wages in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, or New Cale- donia, return to open a small shop in their home village. Usually, after one or two years of generous sharing, such enterprises have to close down. I analyze this phenomenon through case studies of successful indigenous entrepreneurs on Wallis (‘Uvea), with special attention to strategies they have used to cope with this dilemma. The Paradigm of the Trader’s Dilemma The trader’s dilemma is the quandary between the moral obligation to share wealth with kinfolk and neighbors and the necessity to make a profit and accumulate capital. Western scholars have recognized this dilemma The Contemporary Pacific, Volume 15, Number 2, Fall 2003, 277–307 © 2003 by University of Hawai‘i Press 277 278 the contemporary pacific • fall 2003 since the first fieldwork in economic anthropology by Bronislaw Malinow- ski (1922), Raymond Firth (1929; 1939), and others. -
Slctccstcvsljtvc Antr
Slctccstcvsljtvc antr 10th January, 1855. A MEETING was held in the Town Library, Guild Hall, Leicester, for the purpose of establishing this society. The Venerable the Archdeacon of Leicester was in the chair. He requested Mr. Ingram (the honorary secretary, pro tempore) to read the letters received from various persons who had signified their desire to become members.—The first was from the Bishop of the Diocese, who also expressed his willingness to promote the objects of the society. The second was from Earl Howe, regretting his inability to attend. In a previous letter his lordship stated " I shall be very happy to be enrolled a member, and I assure you I take a decided interest in your proceedings/' Letters from the Rev. G. E. Gillett (mentioning that the Duke of Rutland would accept the office of Patron); from Sir F. G. Fowke (excus ing his non-attendance on the ground of ill health, which con fined him to his room); and from Mr. Geoffrey Palmer (apolo gizing for his inability to be present)—were also laid before the meeting. This part of the business being concluded, the venerable Chairman called on Mr. W. Perry-Herrick, who rose to move the first resolution. He expressed his gratification at being able to take part in the formation of a society which he felt certain would be attended with many beneficial effects, in conducing to the study of eccle siastical architecture and general antiquities in the county. He stated his regret that he was so little acquainted with either Archaeology or Architecture ; but that he knew sufficient to enable him to appreciate the value of the labours of those who had leisure to devote themselves more particularly to these interesting pur suits, and he hoped, by associating with them at the meetings of the society, he might improve his knowledge, and receive much information and instruction. -
