  • The Integration of Mythical Creatures in the Harry Potter Series
    University of Hawai‘i at Hilo HOHONU 2015 Vol. 13 orange eyes. (Stone 235) Harry's first year introduces the The Integration of Mythical traditional serpentine dragon, something that readers Creatures in the Harry Potter can envision with confidence and clarity. The fourth year, however, provides a vivid insight on the break Series from tradition as Harry watches while “four fully grown, Terri Pinyerd enormous, vicious-looking dragons were rearing onto English 200D their hind legs inside an enclosure fenced with thick Fall 2014 planks of wood, roaring and snorting—torrents of fire were shooting into the dark sky from their open, fanged From the naturalistic expeditions of Pliny the mouths, fifty feet above the ground on their outstretched Elder, to the hobbit's journey across Middle Earth, necks” (Goblet 326). This is a change from the treasure the literary world has been immersed in the alluring hoarding, princess stealing, riddle loving dragons of presence of mythical and fabulous creatures. Ranging fantasy and fairy tales; these are beasts that can merely from the familiar winged dragon to the more unusual be restrained, not tamed. It is with this that Rowling and obscure barometz, the mythical creature brings with sets the feel for her series.

  • Make Your Own Lion and Unicorn Puppets
    Scotland’s historic properties feature lots of lions and unicorns – they’re in Scotland’s royal coat of arms. Lions were thought to represent bravery and strength – the king of the animal world. The unicorn has been a Scottish royal symbol for around 600 years and – believe it or not – is Scotland’s national animal. Unicorns symbolised innocence and power. People considered them wild and untamed, so they’re often shown chained around their neck. When James VI of Scotland unified Scotland and England in 1603, he changed his coat of arms to include one unicorn and one lion either side of a shield. TOP TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR PUPPETS This activity ideally needs a printer and some brass paper fasteners. If you don’t have a printer, why not use the templates as inspiration for drawing your own versions! And if you don’t have paper fasteners (split pins), you could experiment with tying a big knot in some string or wool, threading the string through a small hole in your papers (a hole punch would create too big a hole) and tying another big knot on the other side. If you’ve got beads or buttons you could also use these to secure the wire/string/wool either side of the paper body parts you’re attaching together. The lion that greets The unicorn from visitors arriving at the King’s Fountain Edinburgh Castle. at Linlithgow Palace. Resource created for Historic Environment Scotland by artist Hannah Ayre. 1.

  • Protect Your Horses and Livestock from Toxic Plants
    Protect Your Horses and Livestock From Toxic Plants A guide to identifying and controlling common, toxic noxious weeds and other toxic plant species. Protect your horses and livestock from toxic plants: A guide to identifying toxic noxious weeds and other toxic plant species Written by Genyce Hanson, with Alison Halpern, Wendy DesCamp, and Kittanya Locken; further reviewing by Tim Miller, Jennifer Andreas, Tricia MacLaren, Anna Lyon, Joan Mason and Casey Gozart. Layout by Kittanya Locken, with Becca Sotelo. Noxious weed classification in Washington: Class A: are nonnative, invasive plants whose distribution in Washington is still limited. Eradication of all Class A plants is required by law. Class B: are nonnative, invasive plants whose distribution is limited in some regions of Washington State, but widespread in others. Class B noxious weeds are designated for mandatory control in regions where they are still limited or absent. Class C: meet the criteria of noxious weeds but control is not required by the State Weed Board; county weed boards may require control of Class C noxious weeds if they are a local concern. Please check with your county weed board to learn more about the noxious weed control requirements where you live. WSDA Quarantine List: The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) maintains a quarantine list of plants whose sale or distribution is prohibited in Washington State.

  • 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.

  • Banners in Heraldic Art
    Banners in heraldic art Magnus Backrnark Abstract The banner is very useful to heraldic art. It is a carrier of charges and colours, just like its coun­ terpart the shield. But where the shield can be seen as crude, heavy, flat and robust - its purpose being taking hits- the banner is brilliant, swift, full of I ife and motion. Its purpose is spiritual. It is lifted above anyone's head, above dust and confusion, for inspiration and guiding. Something of this character, I will with this article try to show by examples that the heraldic artist, if lucky, can translate in his or her work. First, we could though take a quick glance at the historical development of banners. The term banner approves, as we shall see, to a specific kind of flag, but in a wide sense of the word a banner is any ensign made of a peace of cloth, carried on a staff and with symbolic value to its owner(s). The profound nature of this innovation, which seem to be of oriental origin, makes it the mother of all kinds of flags. The etymologi­ cal root of the word banner is the French word banniere, derived from latin bandaria, bandum, which has German extraction, related to gothic bandwa, bandw6, 'sign'. 1 The birth of heraldry in the l2 h century Western world was preceded by centuries of use of early forms of banners, called gonfanons. From Bysantium to Normandy, everywhere in the Christian world, these ensigns usually were small rectangular lance­ flags with tai Is (Fig.

  • 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.

  • The Double-Headed Eagle of Lagash Sir Knights Benjamin F
    The Double-Headed Eagle of Lagash Sir Knights Benjamin F. Hill, Knight Templar Cross of Honor Grand Commander, Grand Commandery Knights Templar of Virginia 2020 In heraldry, the Double-Headed Eagle has long been a symbol of power and dominion; it is associated with the concept of Empire. It originated in the Hittite Empire, modern Turkey and Syria in the 18th to 12th Century Before Christ and as the “Bird of the Sun” represented the “King of Heaven.” The Double-Headed Eagle was used in the Byzantine Empire art in the 10th and 11th Century After Christ as an empirical emblem. In the Seljuk dynasty 13th Century, the Double- Headed Eagle was used to represent royal associations. The Roman Empire used the Double- Headed Eagle to represent its dominion over Constantinople in the East and Rome in the West. It was adopted by the Russians, Poles, Serbians, Prussians, Austrians, and Saxons. Today, it is used as a private seal, on flags, and on many of the coats of arm in Germany, Spain, France, Netherlands, England, and Russia. The Double-Headed Eagle of Lagash is also a symbol for the Thirty-Second and Thirty-Third Degrees of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. The number 32 inside the triangle represents the 32⁰ degree of the Scottish Rite. The Latin motto, “Spes mea in Deo est,” means “My hope is in God.” As far as is known, the Double-Headed Eagle was first used in Freemasonry in 1758 by the Council of the Emperors of the East and West who controlled the “higher, or advanced, degrees at the time.

  • Fairy Tale Bingo Game
    Once Upon a Time BINGO WHO MADE THIS? Created by Kim White Steele for Drag Drop Learning. CONTACT [email protected] Drag Drop Learning on Teachers Pay Teachers Drag Drop Learning Website ILLUSTRATIONS All images used under license from Dreamstime.com. COPYRIGHT © 2018 Kim White Steele - All rights reserved. Permission to copy for single classroom use only. Not for public display. Directions Most everyone is probably familiar with how to play traditional American bingo. Each player is given a game board with numbers appearing in a 5 x 5 grid. When using bingo as a classroom game the numbers are usually replaced with words and/or images, giving students a chance to review vo- cabulary, spelling and facts while having fun. Sometimes the grids may be smaller or larger, making the game easier or harder depending on students’ needs. Whoever is calling the game randomly selects a number, word, or image and all players look for that item on their board. If that item appears on their board, the player covers the item with a chip. (You can also use pennies or just about any small item as a marker.) After everyone covers their square if they need to, another randomly selected item is announced and the game continues. The first player to cover a column, row, or diagonal, calls out “Bingo!” and wins the game. You can also decide ahead of time to use differ- ent patterns to determine the winner (such as all corners or inside squares). The great thing about bingo in the classroom is that it is a flexible game.
