Journal of Vexillology NE JV 23 Published by the the New England Vexillological New England Association Journal of Vexillology December 2008 Nº-23 INFORMATION AND MISINFORMATION By Dave Martucci It never ceases to amaze me the volume of information available of the Internet. The real problem is determining how much of that is accurate and how much is fake. Take the flag of the "Second Vermont Republic" for example. Shown on many web sites and listed with apparent authority in Wikipedia, the flag is variously de- scribed as that of the so-called Sec- ond Vermont Republic, the original Vermont Republic or of the Green Mountain Boys. Problem is that, in reality, it isn't any of those. The Second Vermont Republic has The flag of the so-called "Second Vermont Republic" as illustrated in Wikipedia. never existed except as a concept to the 14th State and in the minds of a few secessionists to the US.

These new additions to the team sparked a new flag based on the Japanese Ensign with the Red Sox Logo in the center. This flag could be seen waving at Fenway Park in 2008. Although no longer available on the Red Sox Network web site, the flag can still be found on eBay. —2— NE23JV TOWN SEAL AND FLAG OF EAST HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT Following the 1877 Connecticut the Congregational Church at the Statute requiring each town to corner, together with a reproduc- adopt a seal, East Hartford Town tion of the Meeting House formerly Council voted, on October 22, 1929, standing on the South Green where "That until otherwise ordered by the its site is now marked by a com- Council the seal of the Town shall memorative monument; containing be circular in form containing in the also the words 'Incorporated 1783', center the word 'seal' surrounded 'Carpe Diem' and the word 'Seal' all in circular form the words, 'Town of surrounded by scroll work enclosing East Hartford, Connecticut'." the words 'Town of East Hartford, Town officials later decided to Connecticut'."

  • Heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia (1991-2019)
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 1 September 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202109.0027.v1 Article Heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia (1991-2019) Jovan Jonovski1, * 1 Macedonian Heraldic Society; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +38970252989 Abstract: Every country has some specific heraldry. In this paper, we will consider heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia, understood by the multitude of coats of arms, and armorial knowledge and art. The paper covers the period from independence until the name change (1991-2019). It co- vers the state coat of arms of the Republic of Macedonia especially the 2009 change. Special atten- tion is given to the development of the municipal heraldry, including the legal system covering the subject. Also personal heraldry developed in 21 century is considered. The paper covers the de- velopment of heraldry and the heraldic thought in the given period, including the role of the Macedonian Heraldic Society and its journal Macedonian Herald in development of theoretic and practical heraldry, as well as its Register of arms and the Macedonian Civic Heraldic System. Keywords: Heraldry in Macedonia; Macedonian civic heraldry; Republic of Macedonia. 1. Introduction The Republic of Macedonia became independent from the Socialist Federative Re- public of Yugoslavia with the Referendum of 8 September 1991. The Democratic Federal Macedonia was formed during the first session of the Anti-Fascist Assembly for the Na- tional Liberation of Macedonia (ASNOM) on 2 August 1944 (it later became the People’s Republic of Macedonia, a federal unit of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia).

  • How Safe Is Our Food?
    VOLUME TWELVE NUMBER 2 Lobbying Reform — Keeping it Legal by Cheryl Baisden When you want something really special for your birthday, it may take more than just a simple request to convince your parents to buy it. You probably start out dropping hints about how great it is, and then casually mention how your friends have it, and how good you’ll be if you get it. If that doesn’t work, maybe you become a little more helpful around the house, or try winning your mom over by complimenting her new haircut. You probably never realized it, but there’s a word for all of the effort you’re putting in — it’s called lobbying. And while you may be lobbying to get that special gift, the practice is most often used in government as a way to influence lawmakers. WINTER2008 “In government, a lobbyist is someone who tries to influence the decisions of elected officials,” explained Todd Sidor, an attorney From ‘Farm to Fork’: and lobbyist for the New Jersey State Bar Association. “Usually they are experts in certain fields, or former government officials with connections HowHow SafeSafe isis OurOur Food?Food? in certain fields, and their job is to by Barbara Sheenhan account for about 20 percent of our (CSREES); and the Department of educate legislators about why a food supply.

  • CHEVRONS Chevron (Insignia)
    ____________________________________________________ CHEVRONS Chevron (insignia) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_%28insignia%29 Jump to: navigation, search "Argent a chevron gules" A chevron (also spelled cheveron, especially in older documents) is an inverted V-shaped pattern. The word is usually used in reference to a kind of fret in architecture, or to a badge or insignia used in military or police uniforms to indicate rank or length of service, or in heraldry and the designs of flags (see flag terminology). The symbol is also used on highway signs to guide drivers around curves. Ancient history The chevron occurs in early art including designs on pottery and rock carvings. Examples can be found approximately 1800 BC in archaeological recovery of pottery designs from the palace of Knossos on Crete in the modern day country of Greece.[1] Sparta (Lacedaemonia (Λακεδαιμονία)) used a capital lambda (Λ) on their shields. Heraldry A chevron is one of the ordinaries in heraldry, one of the simple geometrical figures which are the chief images in many arms. It can be subject to a number of modifications. When the ends are cut off in a way that looks like the splintered ends of a broken piece of wood, with an irregular zig-zag pattern, it is called éclaté.[2] When shown as a smaller size than standard, it is a diminutive called a chevronel. 1 ____________________________________________________ Chevrons appeared early in the history of heraldry, especially in Normandy. In Scandinavia the chevron is known as sparre; an early example appears in the arms of Arvid Gustavsson Sparre.

  • Spokane Flag Redesign Official Voters Guide
    Spokane Flag Redesign Official Voters Guide Welcome! The vote you are about to participate in reflects the culmination of almost two years’ work by ordinary Spokane citizens, City officials, and dozens of artists from around the country. Spokane’s current flag (show on the next page) has been a subject of mockery in vexillological (that’s a fancy word for the study of flags!) circles for years. However, it wasn’t until Spokane resident and now Flag Commission member Max Nesbitt presented a proposal to redesign the flag in early 2019 that the ball officially got rolling and gears began to turn. Spokane Councilmember Kate Burke took up Max’s call and proposed a resolution to form this Commission which passed that summer, and the Commission was formed that fall. Comprising voices of a multitude of perspectives, the Commission represents a cross section of Spokane –artists, students, politicians, civil servants and more. We considered an initial 400 designs and a public poll held in December 2020 narrowed it down to 100 semi-finalists. The Commission has selected these 12 finalists because we feel they reflect a diversity of styles and inspirations while falling within the guidelines we set out in our opening meetings. Happy voting! Spokane Flag Commission Joshua Hiler, Chair – Council Appointee, District 3 Max Nesbitt – Council Appointee, District 2 Corey Marcoux – Council Appointee, District 1 John Mujica – Council Appointee, At Large Matthew Budke – Mayoral Appointee Glenn Ford – Spokane Tribe Jeff Ferguson – Spokane Tribe Andrew Whitver – Spokane Arts Commission Scyla Dowd – Youth Appointee Kate Burke – City Council Betsy Wilkerson – City Council The Current Spokane Flag Adopted in 1975, this flag has seen little to no use since then.

    The Twenty-First Century Rediscovery of Nullification and Secession in American Political Rhetoric: Frivolousness Incarnate or Serious Arguments to Be Wrestled With? Sanford Levinson* I. ZOMBIE (OR DINOSAUR) CONSTITUTIONALISM? THE REVIVAL OF NULLIFICATION AND SECESSION I begin with some news regarding contemporary American politics. On July 5, 2013, Governor Jay Nixon of Missouri vetoed a bill1 widely described as an attempt to “nullify” federal gun-control laws.2 According to one reporter: The Missouri legislation called for misdemeanor charges punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine against federal agents. It would have applied broadly to any attempt to enforce federal gun laws and regulations—past, present, or future—that “infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear arms.”3 A Republican legislator from a St. Louis suburb aptly described the legislation as “probably the most far-reaching attempt by a state to protect a citizen’s Second Amendment * Initially prepared for delivery as the Wylie H.

  • ICV20 Lupant.Pub
    Emblems of the State of Katanga (1960-1963) Michel Lupant On June 30 1960 the Belgian Congo became the Republic of Congo. At that time Ka- tanga had 1,654,000 inhabitants, i.e. 12.5% of the population of the Congo. On July 4 the Congolese Public Force (in fact the Army) rebelled first in Lower-Congo, then in Leopoldville. On July 8 the mutiny reached Katanga and some Europeans were killed. The leaders of the rebels were strong supporters of Patrice Lumumba. Faced with that situation on July 11 1960 at 2130 (GMT), Mr. Tschombe, Ka- tanga’s President, delivered a speech on a local radio station. He reproached the Cen- tral government with its policies, specially the recruitment of executives from commu- nist countries. Because of the threats of Katanga submitting to the reign of the arbitrary and the communist sympathies of the central government, the Katangese Government decided to proclaim the independence of Katanga.1 At that time there was no Katan- gese flag. On July 13 President Kasa Vubu and Prime Minister Lumumba tried to land at Elisabethville airport but they were refused permission to do so. Consequently, they asked United Nations to put an end to the Belgian agression. On July 14 the Security Council of the United Nations adopted a resolution asking the Belgian troops to leave the Congo, and therefore Katanga. Mr. Hammarskjöld, Secretary-General, considered the United Nations forces had to enter Katanga. Mr. Tschombe opposed that interpreta- tion and affirmed that his decision would be executed by force it need be.
