Cotton, WEST GORHAM, MAINE. the CONTROLLABLE BEE HIVE ------•—^-AND—j—•------ NEW SYSTEM Of BEE MANAGEMENT. In bringing this my Annual Circular for 1887 before the public, I wish to advise every intelli gent person who has a spot of land on which to set a hive, to keep bees. Managed on my plan in Controllable Hives, bees are more profit than any thing connected with the farm or garden. Bees will go many miles in all directions from their hives to collect honey. The sources from which bees collect honey are almost innumerable. Nearly every flower, plant, tree, shrub and vine in field, forest, garden and pasture yield honey. If it is not desired to enter largely into the production of honey for market, it is certainly very desirable to keep one or two hives of bees to produce honey for family use. There is no greater health giving lux ury than pure honey in snow white comb. Severe hoarseness, sore throats, coughs, and many other diseases are cured by the use of pure honey.

When Fear Is Substituted for Reason: European and Western Government Policies Regarding National Security 1789-1919
WHEN FEAR IS SUBSTITUTED FOR REASON: EUROPEAN AND WESTERN GOVERNMENT POLICIES REGARDING NATIONAL SECURITY 1789-1919 Norma Lisa Flores A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Dr. Mark Simon Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Brooks Dr. Geoff Howes Dr. Michael Jakobson © 2012 Norma Lisa Flores All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Although the twentieth century is perceived as the era of international wars and revolutions, the basis of these proceedings are actually rooted in the events of the nineteenth century. When anything that challenged the authority of the state – concepts based on enlightenment, immigration, or socialism – were deemed to be a threat to the status quo and immediately eliminated by way of legal restrictions. Once the façade of the Old World was completely severed following the Great War, nations in Europe and throughout the West started to revive various nineteenth century laws in an attempt to suppress the outbreak of radicalism that preceded the 1919 revolutions. What this dissertation offers is an extended understanding of how nineteenth century government policies toward radicalism fostered an environment of increased national security during Germany’s 1919 Spartacist Uprising and the 1919/1920 Palmer Raids in the United States. Using the French Revolution as a starting point, this study allows the reader the opportunity to put events like the 1848 revolutions, the rise of the First and Second Internationals, political fallouts, nineteenth century imperialism, nativism, Social Darwinism, and movements for self-government into a broader historical context.

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.

russian history 44 (2017) 209-242 brill.com/ruhi What Do We Know about *Čьrnobogъ and *Bělъ Bogъ? Yaroslav Gorbachov Assistant Professor of Linguistics, Department of Linguistics, University of Chicago [email protected] Abstract As attested, the Slavic pantheon is rather well-populated. However, many of its nu- merous members are known only by their names mentioned in passing in one or two medieval documents. Among those barely attested Slavic deities, there are a few whose very existence may be doubted. This does not deter some scholars from articulating rather elaborate theories about Slavic mythology and cosmology. The article discusses two obscure Slavic deities, “Black God” and “White God,” and, in particular, reexamines the extant primary sources on them. It is argued that “Black God” worship was limited to the Slavic North-West, and “White God” never existed. Keywords Chernobog – Belbog – Belbuck – Tjarnaglófi – Vij – Slavic dualism Introduction A discussion of Slavic mythology and pantheons is always a difficult, risky, and thankless business. There is no dearth of gods to talk about. In the literature they are discussed with confidence and, at times, some bold conclusions about Slavic cosmology are made, based on the sheer fact of the existence of a par- ticular deity. In reality, however, many of the “known” Slavic gods are not much more than a bare theonym mentioned once or twice in what often is a late, un- reliable, or poorly interpretable document. The available evidence is undeni- ably scanty and the dots to be connected are spaced far apart. Naturally, many © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2017 | doi 10.1163/18763316-04402011Downloaded from Brill.com09/23/2021 09:14:00PM via free access <UN> 210 Gorbachov Slavic mythologists have succumbed to an understandable urge to supply the missing fragments by “reconstructing” them.

Letter of Registration and Return July 1999
Letter of Registration and Return July 1999 Unto the members of the Imperial College of Arms does Lord Nigel the Byzantine, Fleur-de-Lis King of Arms, send Greetings and Salutations! Fellow Heralds: There's a lot of ground to cover this month, so please bear with me. News I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that, thanks to Sir James of March de Coirnoir, we have recovered a copy of the pre-Split Armorial. The bad news is that, thanks to Sir James of March de Coirnoir, we have recovered a copy of the pre-Split Armorial. It's good news because a lot of things that were lost in the Time of Great Sadness can now be entered into the current Armorial. It's bad news because that meant a heckuva lot more work for yours truly. That's why this LoRR is so late. However, that project is now complete. As part of the Armorial Project, I am including in this packet are several items: Armorial It's Here! It's Here! The first Armorial the Empire has seen since 1996! This is the complete listing as of 30 June 1999 of the Adrian Armorial, arranged in order by Game Name. Please look it over for any errors. We will publish corrections here in the LoRR. ©Adrian Empire, Inc. Page 1 of 1 http://www.adrianempire.org The Ordinary is not very far away now; we have scheduled release for the November Estates Meeting, if not sooner. The Ordinary will make conflict-checking a reality for you; you will be able to look up armory by what's actually on the device, and tell if someone has something close to what your presenter has.

However, these sumptuary laws, as they were known,3 were generally a failure, for many reasons. Those who wished to ignore them often could do so with impunity.4 The frequency of such legislation is a sign both of the perceived importance of The author would like to acknowledge the assistance of Professor Bruce Christianson and Ms Susan North in the preparation of this paper.

1 President's Message
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE by David M. Cvet Summer is upon us with a vengeance, breaking temperature records from the 1930's – at least in Toronto. The warmer weather has had some fits and starts, with warm weather followed by frost, causing newly planted peppers and tomatoes to be damaged beyond saving. However, these exciting events pale in comparison to seeing the Queen's Beasts (some depicted on the right) who will be attending the Society's formal dinner at this year's Annual General Meeting, scheduled for October 1-3, 2010 in Ottawa. The Annual Meeting itself will be held at the Delta Ottawa Hotel on Queen Street. The Saturday evening dinner will take place at the Canadian Museum of Civilization (across the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Quebec), which will provide a grand setting for our annual banquet, graced as it will be with these impressive “guests”. We are indeed grateful to David Rumball for organizing this event, and for arranging with the museum to have the Queen's Beasts available for the dinner. I encourage our members to make the necessary calendar and travel to enhance the “coolness” factor of the Society in order to attract arrangements to attend this splendid event. new members – and to retain our present ones. One important reason for having the AGM in Ottawa this year As an example, at the recent Toronto Branch AGM (combined (rather than being hosted by the Prairie Branch, as it would have with the Society's Board meeting earlier the same day) the been in the usual sequence) is the expectation that the new formal dinner at Hart House was visually recorded by a Canadian Heraldic Authority tabard (donated by the Society) photographer I had arranged as my guest.

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).
