  • Heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia (1991-2019)
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 1 September 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202109.0027.v1 Article Heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia (1991-2019) Jovan Jonovski1, * 1 Macedonian Heraldic Society; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +38970252989 Abstract: Every country has some specific heraldry. In this paper, we will consider heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia, understood by the multitude of coats of arms, and armorial knowledge and art. The paper covers the period from independence until the name change (1991-2019). It co- vers the state coat of arms of the Republic of Macedonia especially the 2009 change. Special atten- tion is given to the development of the municipal heraldry, including the legal system covering the subject. Also personal heraldry developed in 21 century is considered. The paper covers the de- velopment of heraldry and the heraldic thought in the given period, including the role of the Macedonian Heraldic Society and its journal Macedonian Herald in development of theoretic and practical heraldry, as well as its Register of arms and the Macedonian Civic Heraldic System. Keywords: Heraldry in Macedonia; Macedonian civic heraldry; Republic of Macedonia. 1. Introduction The Republic of Macedonia became independent from the Socialist Federative Re- public of Yugoslavia with the Referendum of 8 September 1991. The Democratic Federal Macedonia was formed during the first session of the Anti-Fascist Assembly for the Na- tional Liberation of Macedonia (ASNOM) on 2 August 1944 (it later became the People’s Republic of Macedonia, a federal unit of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia).

    Film/Broadcast Content The increasing role of “tentpoles” in the content industry The need for tentpoles in the content industry Overweight (Maintain) The content industry and a tent have one thing in common: both need a tentpole to support the entire structure. In the content industry, tentpoles are defined as hit titles Industry Report that provide a source of steady cash flow, such as the blockbuster films of movie studios July 27, 2015 and the top-rated programs of TV networks. The content industry is vulnerable to the success or failure of a title as well as changes in seasonality. Establishing a tentpole by investing around 70% of the annual budget on Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd. just one or two projects could prove an effective strategy against such risks. If tentpole [Telecom Service / Media] films or shows become a hit, they can compensate for losses made elsewhere.

  • CHEVRONS Chevron (Insignia)
    ____________________________________________________ CHEVRONS Chevron (insignia) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_%28insignia%29 Jump to: navigation, search "Argent a chevron gules" A chevron (also spelled cheveron, especially in older documents) is an inverted V-shaped pattern. The word is usually used in reference to a kind of fret in architecture, or to a badge or insignia used in military or police uniforms to indicate rank or length of service, or in heraldry and the designs of flags (see flag terminology). The symbol is also used on highway signs to guide drivers around curves. Ancient history The chevron occurs in early art including designs on pottery and rock carvings. Examples can be found approximately 1800 BC in archaeological recovery of pottery designs from the palace of Knossos on Crete in the modern day country of Greece.[1] Sparta (Lacedaemonia (Λακεδαιμονία)) used a capital lambda (Λ) on their shields. Heraldry A chevron is one of the ordinaries in heraldry, one of the simple geometrical figures which are the chief images in many arms. It can be subject to a number of modifications. When the ends are cut off in a way that looks like the splintered ends of a broken piece of wood, with an irregular zig-zag pattern, it is called éclaté.[2] When shown as a smaller size than standard, it is a diminutive called a chevronel. 1 ____________________________________________________ Chevrons appeared early in the history of heraldry, especially in Normandy. In Scandinavia the chevron is known as sparre; an early example appears in the arms of Arvid Gustavsson Sparre.

  • Spokane Flag Redesign Official Voters Guide
    Spokane Flag Redesign Official Voters Guide Welcome! The vote you are about to participate in reflects the culmination of almost two years’ work by ordinary Spokane citizens, City officials, and dozens of artists from around the country. Spokane’s current flag (show on the next page) has been a subject of mockery in vexillological (that’s a fancy word for the study of flags!) circles for years. However, it wasn’t until Spokane resident and now Flag Commission member Max Nesbitt presented a proposal to redesign the flag in early 2019 that the ball officially got rolling and gears began to turn. Spokane Councilmember Kate Burke took up Max’s call and proposed a resolution to form this Commission which passed that summer, and the Commission was formed that fall. Comprising voices of a multitude of perspectives, the Commission represents a cross section of Spokane –artists, students, politicians, civil servants and more. We considered an initial 400 designs and a public poll held in December 2020 narrowed it down to 100 semi-finalists. The Commission has selected these 12 finalists because we feel they reflect a diversity of styles and inspirations while falling within the guidelines we set out in our opening meetings. Happy voting! Spokane Flag Commission Joshua Hiler, Chair – Council Appointee, District 3 Max Nesbitt – Council Appointee, District 2 Corey Marcoux – Council Appointee, District 1 John Mujica – Council Appointee, At Large Matthew Budke – Mayoral Appointee Glenn Ford – Spokane Tribe Jeff Ferguson – Spokane Tribe Andrew Whitver – Spokane Arts Commission Scyla Dowd – Youth Appointee Kate Burke – City Council Betsy Wilkerson – City Council The Current Spokane Flag Adopted in 1975, this flag has seen little to no use since then.
