GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Anthropology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee December 2016 ABSTRACT GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2016 Under the Supervision of Professor Bettina Arnold, PhD. The interpretation of prehistoric iconography is complicated by the tendency to project contemporary male/female gender dichotomies into the past. Pictish monumental stone sculpture in Scotland has been studied over the last 100 years. Traditionally, mirror and comb symbols found on some stones produced in Scotland between AD 400 and AD 900 have been interpreted as being associated exclusively with women and/or the female gender. This thesis re-examines this assumption in light of more recent work to offer a new interpretation of Pictish mirror and comb symbols and to suggest a larger context for their possible meaning.

  • Grooming Your Newfoundland
    GROOMING YOUR NEWFOUNDLAND GROOMING TOOLS Greyhound comb: What is it for? This comb is used for line-combing, which removes significant amounts of undercoat. It is an excellent option to remove dead undercoat during seasonal shedding. Use this comb to remove debris from the coat like sticks and burrs. It can also remove small matts. The comb also assists greatly with scissoring work (trimming). Which one should I get? The greyhound comb comes in a number of different configurations depending on your needs. For a Newfoundland, the medium coarse/fine is recommended. This comb has one end with larger spaced tines (medium coarse) and another end with tighter spaced tines (fine). The two ends provide greater flexibility in your grooming. The price of this comb ranges greatly from about $15 to about $50. The price difference comes from the quality of the manufacturing. The $15 comb will work just fine, but the tines will bend much sooner than the more expensive options and you may have to replace the comb more frequently. Undercoat rake: What is it for? Some find the greyhound comb can be tiring on the wrists and prefer an undercoat rake. This tool works very similarly to the greyhound comb, but does not aid in scissoring work. Use this rake to line comb your Newf and remove undercoat. Which one should I get? There are a variety of these combs available on the market. Some have longer tines than others. The Newfoundland has a very dense, thick coat so it is recommended to get a rake with sufficiently long teeth.

    Hwa Chong Institution Project Work Category 3 Inventions Log Book Title of Project: Sweep Up Group Name: The Broomsweeps Group Members: 1)Zou Jiaxin (1A2 34) 2)Wong Zi Heng Jared (1A3 29) 3)Png Chee Kai (1i1 24) 4)Shen Jiaqi (1P3 28) Problem Finding The refrigerator gives out heat. Certain parts of refrigerator feel hot and we feel that this heat is wasted. Heat is given out by the refrigerator because the refrigerator cannot produce coldness and the heat from the food stored in the refrigerator is transferred to outside of the refrigerator, heating the kitchen. This problem was surfaced by complaints from family members and our own past experiences. We confirmed this problem when we received a comment on our forum. We felt that is was a waste of money to use the electricity only for transferring heat from the interior of the refrigerator to the exterior of the refrigerator. We thought that the heat could be used for something else and thought of using that heat to boil water. Another problem that was provided was people not being able to tell when a fish is fresh or not. They feel that they were cheated by the fish sellers, causing their money to be wasted on what they thought was fresh fish. The survey also informed us of the problem of switching from a broom to a mop. This is time consuming and is also said to take more effort. We thus had the intention to create a multi-purpose broom. We also noticed dust particles stuck in broom bristles and thus, we conducted a survey to understand the problem.

  • At-Home Head Lice Removal Guide
    Lice Combs It’s very important to get a good quality lice comb. There are many different lice-combs out there but the Terminator comb removes up to 200 bugs and nits each swipe. Another quality comb is the Licemeister comb; I tend to use this one on African American, bi-racial and very curly hair types, it is less harsh on the hair, causing less Terminator comb Licemeister comb breakage. But this comb can be used anyone These combs can be purchased online or at some specialty stores. Cleaning: Lice live on your head, not in your home or on your belongings. So here are a few common sense cleaning tips: At-home Wash: All bed linens & clothing worn in the last 24 hours, only by those who are infected. Wash and dry in hot temperatures. Head lice Isolate: Items which can’t be washed may be isolated for 24 hours, or until your home is lice-free. This means the items that you have just used that may have come in contact with lice – not every stuffed animal or all of your clothing. It just isn’t necessary to bag everything in your home for weeks. Removal Vacuum: New studies have shown that it really isn't necessary to vacuum. You can vacuum surfaces that can’t be wiped down or washed, if it makes you feel better. Guide Brushes & Hair Accessories: Brushes and combs that have been used in the last 24 hours can placed in a zip lock bag, in the freezer, overnight. They do not need to be thrown away.

  • Inmate Information Handbook Federal Bureau of Prisons
    MCFP Springfield, MO Inmate Information Handbook Federal Bureau of Prisons Introduction The purpose of this handbook is to provide newly committed inmates and others interested in the Federal Bureau of Prisons with general information regarding the Bureau, its programs, institutions, and the rules and regulations they will encounter during confinement. It is not a specific guide to the detailed policies of the Bureau or all procedures in effect at each Bureau location. The U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners (USMCFP) is temporarily your community. What kind of community it is depends on you! If you and every other inmate take the proper attitude toward each other and the staff, you can be assured you will not encounter any problems while you are here. Conduct yourself in such a way as to not interfere with the rights of other inmates. If you have a proper regard for the staff, you will be able to work with them instead of against them. Also, remember the accepted rules of good conduct, good manners, common sense (in other words, the Golden Rule), do not possess any contraband, and you will not have any difficulty. This booklet contains general information procedures and regulations developed to help you become better acquainted with the operations of your new community. Many of the most frequently asked questions have been answered in this booklet. If you are concerned about something not covered, you are urged to ask any staff member. If they cannot help you, they will refer you to someone who can. You are encouraged to read this booklet and YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOWING THE CONTENTS.
