Florida League of Cities Risk and Safety Consultant Jonathan Jaramillo greeted Mayor and Council, staff, citizens and the City of Homestead Mayor's Youth Council. It was his honor to personally present this award to the Mayor's Youth Council for being selected a winner in the state wide video competition. This year the Youth Council was asked to create a video in which they addressed (2) topics; how are they a part of their city and why they are proud of their city. The topics correlate with the annual theme of Florida City Government Week; a week long campaign also sponsored by the league. Florida City Government Week helps educate the public on what local government does and how it directly impacts them. The Homestead Mayor's Youth Council Video did a great job in answering the deeming question, along with showcasing the great work the Council does. Mr. Jaramillo expressed how impressed they are and noted that the work of their phenomenal team Council is exemplary. Mr. Jaramillo thanked the Youth Council for their hard work and gave a special thank you to the staff and city officials who have put so much time and effort into making this exemplary Youth Council. The Florida League of Cities appreciates their involvement and fantastic work. It was his honor to present them with a trophy for the 2019 Video Competition and the Council will also receive a check of $250.00. A member of the City of Homestead's Mayor's Youth Council thanked Florida League of Cities on behalf the their Council for coming here tonight to present them with an award. She shared their appreciation for what the Florida League of Cities do for them and it helps them communicate with all the other cities around Florida. Vice Mayor Fairclough-Staggers mentioned it has been her honor to work alongside the Mayor's Youth Council for the last 8 years. It is encouraging to see that they have these high potential teams in their community who are committed to serving as the voice of the youth in their community. They continue to push themselves to win these state wide competitions to bring home the recognition to the City of Homestead. Vice Mayor Fairclough- Staggers thanked the Mayor's Youth Council for what they do and she continues to encourage them to apply to these competitions to bring home the trophy. She added this is an award winning youth council and we should all be grateful for the collective work that they do to propel our City forward. • PRESENTATION BY FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHRISTIAN SCHOOL OF CITY OF ROXABOXEN (VICE MAYOR FAIRCLOUGH­ STAGGERS) Vice Mayor Fairclough-Staggers expressed this is one of her favorite annual presentations at the City Council.

  • Hark the Heraldry Angels Sing
    The UK Linguistics Olympiad 2018 Round 2 Problem 1 Hark the Heraldry Angels Sing Heraldry is the study of rank and heraldic arms, and there is a part which looks particularly at the way that coats-of-arms and shields are put together. The language for describing arms is known as blazon and derives many of its terms from French. The aim of blazon is to describe heraldic arms unambiguously and as concisely as possible. On the next page are some blazon descriptions that correspond to the shields (escutcheons) A-L. However, the descriptions and the shields are not in the same order. 1. Quarterly 1 & 4 checky vert and argent 2 & 3 argent three gouttes gules two one 2. Azure a bend sinister argent in dexter chief four roundels sable 3.

  • Rules for Submissions
    Conflict Checking 101: Theory What is conflict checking? In short, conflict checking is the process of determining if two pieces of armory are so close that they would indicate the same person or a close blood relationship between the two owners. What does that mean? Both medieval and modern heraldry use various systems of cadency to differentiate arms between fathers and sons and cousins, and so on. The exact differences vary from time to time and culture to culture, but the general principle is that the child has their parent’s arms with one thing changed. Within the SCA’s period, this was fairly straightforward – literally going forward as people had children! In the SCA, however, we are working backwards; rather than trying to show close familial relationships, we’re trying to avoid them! In a generalized sense, if two pieces of armory have more than two differences, the two owners would not be related. We call these differences "Distinct Changes" or “DCs”. Additionally, some changes weren’t typically/ever used for cadency; if two pieces of armory have one of these changes, the owners would not be related either. We call these differences “Substantial Changes” or “SCs”. How do we decide which set of cadency rules to follow? Since the exact rules of cadency do vary, Laurel has had to come up with a single set of rules that we can apply consistently. In general, the current rules reflect typical cadency later in our period. Where do I get these rules, and is there anything else I need, like obscure heraldry tomes? When it comes to doing any kind of book heraldry, you’ll want to have handy the Standards for Evaluation of Names and Armory (SENA) and the Administrative Handbook.

  • An Exchange of Letters
    AN EXCHANGE OF LETTERS Heraldry Gazette - December 2007 After the Birmingham International Heraldry Conference this year, the following letters were exchanged between Mr Ralph Brocklebank and Garter Principal King of Arms, Mr Peter Gwynn-Jones. Both correspondents were keen to share their thoughts with readers of the Heraldry Gazette and the editor hopes that they will inspire some lively and interesting debate through this publication’s correspondence columns. From Ralph Brocklebank to Garter King of Arms: The Birmingham International Heraldry Conference held earlier this month was rated a great success by those who attended, and finished with a debate on the Future of Heraldry. I thought you might be interested to hear some of the concerns and points that were discussed. It was generally felt that if heraldry is to have a prosperous and flourishing future, it needs to take greater account of changes in society, such as the increasing emancipation of women and the disappearance of class barriers. There is a large number of worthy people who have a nascent interest in heraldry as something belonging to our English heritage, but are given to believe that it is only for the rich and famous, or else of purely historic value. They need to be encouraged to think that heraldry is something that they can embrace personally, to have a family asset that can be passed down to their children and successive descendants. One of the deterrents to getting involved was seen to be the high cost of a Grant of Arms. It was asked whether it would not be possible to institute a form of Certificate of Arms that would confirm the legality of a Grant without incurring the expense of a luxurious Letters Patent, to be offered as an alternative.

TITULAR BISHOP OF TROFIMIANA AUXILIARY TO THE METROPOLITAN OF LOS ANGELES PER CHEVRON EMBOWED ARGENT AND BARRY OF EIGHT AZURE AND ARGENT IN CHIEF TWO ROSES GULES BARBED AND SEEDED OR AND IN BASE A SCALLOP SHELL ALSO OR. ON A CHIEF AZURE A FLEUR-DE-LIS OR BETWEEN TWO WINGS DISPLAYED ARGENT AND FOR A MOTTO « CARITAS CHRISTI URGET NOS » THE OFFICE OF AUXILIARY BISHOP The Office of Auxiliary, or Assistant, Bishop came into the Church around the sixth century. Before that time, only one bishop served within an ecclesial province as sole spiritual leader of that region. Those clerics who hold this dignity are properly entitled “Titular Bishops” whom the Holy See has simultaneously assigned to assist a local Ordinary in the exercise of his episcopal responsibilities. The term ‘Auxiliary’ refers to the supporting role that the titular bishop provides a residential bishop but in every way, auxiliaries embody the fullness of the episcopal dignity. Although the Church considers both Linus and Cletus to be the first auxiliary bishops, as Assistants to St. Peter in the See of Rome, the first mention of the actual term “auxiliary bishop” was made in a decree by Pope Leo X (1513‐1521) entitled de Cardinalibus Lateranses (sess. IX). In this decree, Leo confirms the need for clerics who enjoy the fullness of Holy Orders to assist the Cardinal‐Bishops of the Suburbicarian Sees of Ostia, Velletri‐Segni, Sabina‐Poggia‐ Mirteto, Albano, Palestrina, Porto‐Santo Rufina, and Frascati, all of which surround the Roman Diocese.
