As you may be aware, MDHA originated from a small group of concerned hunters that wanted to look out for the betterment of deer and the sport of deer hunting. MDHA has now evolved into a nearly 20,000 member community of deer and deer hunting advocates. We share the commonality and enjoy the camaraderie of ensuring the future of deer and deer hunting in Minnesota. What has MDHA done since 1980? MDHA’s Hides for Habitat Program has recycled nearly 865,000 deer hides; raising $5.23 MILLION for habitat restoration, public hunting land acquisition and youth education projects. Through local chapter fundraising MDHA’s 60 chapters across the state raise nearly ONE MILLION dol- lars annually supporting local habitat and hunting education and recruitment programs in Minnesota for Minne- sota. Since 1996 MDHA has enhanced public lands to a tune of OVER $43 MILLION in habitat projects. Since 1985 nearly 11,000 kids have been sent to our week-long MDHA Forkhorn Camp ® providing hands on firearms safety, bow safety, and advanced hunter education.

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.

PE1352/H Dear Alison, 7Th Feb 2011 Many Thanks for Your Email
PE1352/H Dear Alison, 7th Feb 2011 Many thanks for your email and opportunity to respond to the reply from the Scottish Government and Historic Scotland in relation to flag flying at Edinburgh Castle. Like other flags of the world, The Saltire, the national flag of Scotland is made from mere cloth. In and of itself it is meaningless. Its importance as a symbol is derived solely from the ideas, concepts and values we as a society and people attribute to it. That is as true of the Saltire as it is for every other national flag and that is why flags remain important and are flown in every country in the world. Saltire Scotland’s campaign was initiated because we feel strongly that our nation’s , flag represents the positive, progressive values that our society aspires to. It is a symbol which is, by and large, positively received at home and abroad and it is for these reasons that we seek to have it reinstated to the premier position on the Castle. Recently I met with officials at Historic Scotland and discussed with them at some length the issues surrounding the current flag flying arrangements. They have accepted that the existing situation in terms of the Union Flag flying in the “superior position” [The MoD’s official phrase] has arisen from simple custom and practice. The current flag flying policy has not been codified contractually or otherwise reviewed to reflect the changes in ownership and constitutional arrangements that have occurred since 1999 and the onset of devolution. Neither the MoD nor the Army have any legally binding contract with Historic Scotland or Scottish Ministers that allows them to dictate which flags are flown at the Castle.
