  • Heraldic Terms

    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.

    1 5 From political power to the power of the image: contemporary ‘British’ cinema and the nation’s monarchs Andrew Higson INTRODUCTION: THE HERITAGE OF MONARCHY AND THE ROYALS ON FILM From Kenneth Branagh’s Henry V Shakespeare adaptation in 1989 to the story of the fi nal years of the former Princess of Wales, inDiana in 2013, at least twenty-six English-language feature fi lms dealt in some way with the British monarchy. 1 All of these fi lms (the dates and directors of which will be indi- cated below) retell more or less familiar stories about past and present kings and queens, princes and princesses. This is just one indication that the institution of monarchy remains one of the most enduring aspects of the British national heritage: these stories and characters, their iconic settings and their splendid mise-en-scène still play a vital role in the historical and contemporary experience and projection of British national identity and ideas of nationhood. These stories and characters are also of course endlessly recycled in the pre- sent period in other media as well as through the heritage industry. The mon- archy, its history and its present manifestation, is clearly highly marketable, whether in terms of tourism, the trade in royal memorabilia or artefacts, or images of the monarchy – in paintings, prints, fi lms, books, magazines, televi- sion programmes, on the Internet and so on. The public image of the monarchy is not consistent across the period being explored here, however, and it is worth noting that there was a waning of support for the contemporary royal family in the 1990s, not least because of how it was perceived to have treated Diana.

One key to prevention, according to some, is to keep things simple or as natural as possible. But in nature or the wild, disease of the newborn often causes rates of loss that would be unprofitable for livestock producers. And while it might be wise to keep things natural or simple, the fact is, the situation has been made unnatural by putting up fences, crowding the animals, fixing the calving season, and giving the cattle no choice as to feed. A word of caution is in order. Subpar husbandry of the cattle usually cannot be overcome by anything that comes through a needle, News and a tube, or a balling gun! The damage can be minimized in some cases, but a full investigation should point to needed changes that lead to total prevention.

    128 AÜTO-HERALD a Program for the Construction of Heraldic

    - 128 AÜTO-HERALD A Program for the Construction of Heraldic Drawings By C.B.Bayliss M.Sc University of Birmingham Centre for Computing and Computer Science Abstract In this paper I shall describe the main features of a program which constructs heraldic drawings. A description of a coat of arms is entered by a user in conventional heraldic terminology. The coat of arms is then constructed from a library of stored objects and fields and drawn on a terminal. Facilities exist for updating the library, and a picture editor is provided to allow a user to define new objects and fields. Contents Introduction Describing a coat of arms Method of coat of arms construction . Picture editor Library Device dependence and program structure. Conclusion Illustrations Fig I - Diagrams showing method of coat of arms constr- uction Fig 2 - Overall structure of the program - 129 Introduction In heraldry there are many different coats of arms which use a variety of objects in different combinations and colours. A coat of arms consists of a field ( the background ), which can be a colour, metal, fur or pattern which may have one or more objects placed upon it. Such objects are refered to as "charges" in heraldic terminology. A field may be divided, for example by quartering it or halving it. Each part of the field may be a different colour or pattern. Coats of arms are normally displayed on a shield. Colouring used on a coat of arras is called a tincture. There are five commonly used colours:- vert (green) azure (blue), gules (red), sable (black) and purpure (purple).

    Letters from U.S. President Millard Fillmore and U.S. Navy Commodore Matthew C. Perry to the Emperor of Japan (1852- 1853)

    Primary Source Document with Questions (DBQs) LETTERS FROM U.S. PRESIDENT MILLARD FILLMORE AND U.S. NAVY COMMODORE MATTHEW C. PERRY TO THE EMPEROR OF JAPAN (1852- 1853) Introduction In 1852, Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry (1794-1858) was dispatched to Japan by U.S. President Millard Fillmore (1800-1874) in command of four warships, including two steam frigates. The squadron arrived in Uraga harbor, near the Tokugawa capital of Edo, on July 8, 1853. As expressed in the following letter from President Fillmore to the Japanese Emperor, delivered by Perry to the worried Tokugawa officials who greeted him, the United States was eager to break Japan’s “seclusion policy,” sign diplomatic and commercial treaties, and thus “open” the nation to the Western world. For the Japanese, who had carefully regulated overseas contacts since the seventeenth century and whose technology could not compare to that displayed by the American squadron, Perry’s arrival and President Fillmore’s letter were unwelcome and ominous, even if not entirely unexpected. Commodore Perry stayed in Uraga for fewer than ten days in 1853, withdrawing to the China coast with his ships. As he promised in his letter of July 14, 1853, however, he returned to Japan about six months later with a much larger and more intimidating fleet, comprising six ships with more than 100 mounted cannon. In March of 1854, the Tokugawa shogunate capitulated to all the American demands, signing the Treaty of Kanagawa with Perry. Selected Documents with Questions Letter from President Millard Fillmore and first letter from Commodore Matthew Perry from Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to China and Japan, performed in the years 1852,1853, and 1854, under the Command of Commodore M.

    Life of Imperialism: Thailand, Territory and State Transformation

    Life of Imperialism: Thailand, territory and state transformation Abstract: The paper argues that in territorial disputes before international courts between states that were formerly under colonial rule and semicolonialism, respectively, international courts favour the former. I study two cases – semicolonial Siam in Cheek v Siam arbitration (1897) and postcolonial Thailand in the Temple of Preah Vihear case (1962) – in their historical context to prove this. The critique of formalism here operates on two levels. First, in actual disputes the production of colonial stationary – for example, maps, photographs, and communiqué as demonstrable proofs of evidence – benefits states formerly under colonial rule. Second, in the Temple of Preah Vihear case, the ICJ pits, as it were, the French colonial history in Cambodia against Siamese semicolonial past. Arguably, the Cheek v Siam episode demonstrates nineteenth century Siam’s successful attempts to deploy politico- legal strategy to remain politically independent. By contrast, the ICJ in the Temple case defeats Siamese conceptions of shared sovereignty to confirm the continuing hegemony of modern geography and colonial cartography. The Cheek and Temple cases, respectively, among other untribunalized arm- twisting episodes typify Siam’s tryst with both semicolonial and postcolonial international law. Siam offers both epistemological lessons on history, past, and knowledge production and the possibility of prefiguring postcolonial Asian imperialism. Table of Content I. Introduction II.

    Skip to Content SFW CLARE BAYLEY Posted on June 27, 2013 33 comments A field guide to Pride flags It’s almost time for SF Pride, and that means the city is sprouting rainbow flags like flowers in the desert after a rainstorm. By now most people know what the rainbow signifies, but what about those other striped flags you see waving at Pride events? I thought I knew most of their meanings, but I recently came across the most Pride items I’ve ever seen in one place, and they had keychains with flags that I’d never seen before (and my office is a castle that flies Pride flags from the turrets). Here’s a quick overview of all the ones I could find online, plus a more detailed history and analysis for each further down. My sources are cited in-line or listed at the end. The top 3 are the ones most commonly seen at Pride events. Edited on 6/27/15: Updated/added some flags based on reader feedback. Rearranged flag order to loosely group by category. The Gay Pride Rainbow Ah, the rainbow flag. Such a beautiful and bold statement, hard to ignore or mistake for anything else. (also easy to adapt to every kind of merchandise you can imagine) Wikipedia has an extensive article on it, but here are the more interesting bits: The original Gay Pride Flag was first flown in the 1978 San Francisco Pride Parade, and unlike its modern day 6- color version it was a full rainbow – it included hot pink, turquoise, and indigo instead of dark blue.

(excerpts) It is indeed a great honor to be here. Today marks another red letter day for me. A day I will never forget because I have been personally following the construction of this museum and what this museum stands for. It is a great honor for you to have given us this opportunity and this grace to welcome us very formally and warmly. This museum reflects what I stand for and my belief in this world. I seize every opportunity to express my belief that the greatest joy for anybody is the 'joy of origination'. If we don't invest in our past, so that we can know where we are from, the future will be very problematic; the future will be so bleak that we will not embrace one another in this world we love. It is very important for us to know our history and to uphold our history. It is very important for our heritage to be kept intact, because man must be kind to one another. We have to show ourselves love and compassion from our heritage. Obviously, people will from time to time offend one another; it is very normal. But we all belong to one, single, big, happy family, irrespective of our colour. I am very happy that this museum showcases the truth to the world, what happened in the past, the history of black people, how black people have suffered and sacrificed.
  • For Immediate Release His Royal Highness Prince Philip Duke Of

    For Immediate Release His Royal Highness Prince Philip Duke Of

    For immediate release His Royal Highness Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, champion of people affected by leprosy, is remembered by Lepra COLCHESTER, ESSEX - It is with great sadness and regret that Lepra has learnt of the passing of His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh one of our great and most respected supporters. His Royal Highness, has been a long standing supporter of Lepra, along with Lepra’s patron Her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth. In the past His Royal Highness supported Lepra’s Child Adoption Scheme sponsoring boys and girls affected by leprosy in Africa. This scheme enabled children to receive treatment and continue their education thereby enabling them to pursue independent and fulfilling lives. Lepra’s Dr. Doug Coffin, writing from the Itu settlement in 1940 wrote of the Child Adoption Scheme, “A child, if they are to grow into a normal healthy adult, free from any major complexes, needs to be brought up in the company of other children, to experience kindliness from their elders, receive education and not suffer anxiety about their shelter and food.” In 1956, during the Royal visit to Africa and as a part of their support of Lepra, Her Majesty and His Royal Highness met with many people affected by leprosy. Prince Philip visited many sick and disabled people in their homes, clinics and communities. His Royal Highness was notably warm, sympathetic and supportive of all those he met with leprosy. These included a young boy sponsored by His Royal Highness. All the children were very grateful to the Royal Family for their personal support.
