  • 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.

  • Turtles from Turtle Island 89
    88 Ontario Archaeology No. 79/80, 2005 Tur tles from Turtle Island: An Archaeological Perspective from Iroquoia Robert J. Pearce Iroquoians believe their world, Turtle Island, was created on the back of the mythological Turtle. Archaeologically, there is abundant evidence throughout Iroquoia to indicate that the turtle was highly sym- bolic, not only of Turtle Island, but also of the Turtle clan, which was preeminent among all the Iroquoian clans. Complete turtles were modified into rattles, turtle shells and bones were utilized in a variety of sym- bolic ways, and turtle images were graphically depicted in several media. This paper explores the symbolic treatments and uses of the turtle in eastern North America, which date back to the Archaic period and evolved into the mythologies of linguistically and culturally diverse groups, including the Iroquoians, Algonquians (Anishinaabeg) and Sioux. Introduction landed on “Earth” which was formed only when aquatic animals dredged up dirt and placed it upon A Middle Woodland burial mound at Rice Lake Tur tle’s back (Figure 1). The fact that the falling yielded a marine shell carved and decorated as a Aataentsic was eventually saved by landing on Turtle turtle effigy. At the nearby Serpent Mound, was noted in almost all versions of the creation story; unmodified turtle shells were carefully placed in many sources it is noted that this was not just any alongside human skeletons. At the Middle Tur tle, but “Great Snapping Turtle” (Cornplanter Ontario Iroquoian Moatfield ossuary in North 1998:12).

  • House of Harpies.Pdf
    INTRODUCTION The local thieves’ guild survives by hiding outside of town, in the nearby forest. Since the thieves confine their predatory efforts to within the city, local druids and rangers have no reason to look for them, and the town guard concentrates its efforts within the town’s walls. Over the past several decades, the guild managed to build a well-concealed hideout in one of the large House evergreen trees near the town. This allows the thieves to plan and plot in safety, gives them a place to rest and of harpies hide if things get too hot, and lets them check caravans coming into the city for likely targets. Unfortunately for the guild, their ideal hideout A short adventure for four attracted a flight of harpies that moved into the area. 6th-level player characters The harpies like the hideout for many of the same rea- sons the thieves do, and have driven the thieves out and taken up residence. The thieves managed to escape with most of their secret documents and important possessions, but now lack a good, secure base of opera- CREDITS tions.

    ' STATE OF VERMONT ' ' ENVIRONMENTAL COURT ' } 'Appeal of Griffin } Docket No. 92-6-04 Vtec } } ' Decision and Order on Pending Motions Appellants Robert D. and Muriel J. Griffin appealed from conditions imposed in a decision of the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) of the Town of Fayston, granting a conditional use approval for a home occupation for Appellants' excavating business'[1]. Appellants are represented by Lauren S. Kolitch, Esq.; and the Town is represented by Amanda Lafferty, Esq. Interested Persons Richard J. Petit, Kathryn Henry, and Robert Center appeared and represent themselves, but did not participate in the briefing of the motions. The Town and Appellants each moved for summary judgment. Town's Motion to Strike In connection with the motions for summary judgment the Town has moved to strike the reply memoranda (and any new facts and arguments raised in those memoranda) because V.R.C.P. 56 does not allow for reply memoranda. The Town argues that Appellants failed to provide the required statement of material facts in dispute. Appellants argue that V.R.C.P. 76(a)(3) excludes motions for summary judgment from the civil rules applicable to Environmental Court proceedings. First, we note that V.R.C.P. 76, containing the rules and provisions applicable to the Environmental Court in effect through January 30, 2005, has been superseded by the Vermont Rules for Environmental Court Proceedings (V.R.E.C.P.) as of January 31, 2005.

  • Griffin Land & Nurseries, Inc
    Griffin Land & Nurseries, Inc. 2014 Annual Report GRIFFIN LAND & NURSERIES, INC. One Rockefeller Plaza Suite 2301 New York, New York 10020 April 9, 2015 To Our Stockholders: Our two thousand fourteen fiscal year was one which marked a major transition for our Company. It was a year in which we exited our landscape nursery business (‘‘Imperial’’), moved forward in the diversification of our developed real estate base and set in motion a succession in management. The sale of Imperial’s nursery inventory and leasing of its Connecticut farm to Monrovia Nursery Company (‘‘Monrovia’’) was a difficult but necessary step. For years we had worked at reducing inventories and building a high quality nursery operation. Unfortunately, we could not make it a profitable business. Our hope is that Monrovia, a large west-coast based nursery operation, will make the former Imperial operations a success. We are pleased that Monrovia employed practically all of the former growing and sales personnel of Imperial. During the year, the diversification of our real estate business into the Lehigh Valley took substantial steps forward. The first building Griffin developed in the Lehigh Valley completed its first year under lease. The second building developed was completed and is 66% leased, with its tenant recently taking occupancy. In addition, we have done much of the site work for two additional buildings on a nearby parcel of undeveloped land acquired a little over two years ago. The first of these buildings, currently under construction, is 70% pre-leased, with the lessee having an option to lease the balance of the building.

  • 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.
