  • 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.

UNIVERSITY OF MAINE WORLD WAR II IN MEMORIAM DEDICATION In this book are the records of those sons of Maine who gave their lives in World War II. The stories of their lives are brief, for all of them were young. And yet, behind the dates and the names of places there shines the record of courage and sacrifice, of love, and of a devotion to duty that transcends all thought of safety or of gain or of selfish ambition. These are the names of those we love: these are the stories of those who once walked with us and sang our songs and shared our common hope. These are the faces of our loved ones and good comrades, of sons and husbands. There is no tribute equal to their sacrifice; there is no word of praise worthy of their deeds.

  • Coins As a Heraldic Resource
    COINS AS A HERALDIC RESOURCE by David F. Phillips Everyone who studies heraldry knows the importance of original sources such as manuscripts, seals and monuments. Since the revival of the scientific method in heraldic studies in the 19th century, these sources have been vital in documenting early heraldic practice and the development of style. But images from manuscripts are available to most scholars only through facsimiles. Seals are fragile and do not photograph well; facsimiles of seals in historical works are usually redrawn, with what distortions who knows? Coins are more durable and provide much of the same documentation – sometimes better, and for later periods substantially more. Images of coins are easy to locate and copy, and ambiguous details are relatively easy to clarify by comparison with other examples. But their use as an adjunct to heraldic research has largely been overlooked.1 Coins documented state symbols for thousands of years before heraldry – the owl on the coinage of ancient Athens is one of the most famous examples. Documents fade and burn, but coins persist. The provenance, authenticity and fidelity to blazon of designs on paper, painted on walls and wood and canvas, woven into tapestries, and so on are open to question, but with a coin you know where you are. And, conveniently, dates of issue are often integral parts of their design – even undated heraldic coins can almost always be located within a single reign. Sometimes mint marks tell exactly where a coin was made. Since the emergence of the art form in the 12th and 13th centuries, heraldic designs have been used to identify the state or other authority that issues a coin.

    12th Air Force, 57th Bombardment Wing 310th Bombardment Group History: October 1942 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For my dad, Colonel John “Jack” Fitzgerald, U.S. Army (retired) “Lil Butch” John T. Fitzgerald, SMSgt, U.S. Air Force (retired) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12th Air Force, 57th Bombardment Wing 310th Bombardment Group History: October 1942 The following is a compilation of the 310th Bomb Group’s Headquarters and individual Squadron War Diaries. They have been transcribed word for word, from the Squadron Histories provided by the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA), Maxwell Air Force Base Alabama. At the end of each Squadron’s daily entry, the individuals cited in the entry are identified by full name, rank and duty, in alphabetical order. The day’s entry begins with the Tactical Operations Statement, from the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) Chronology, for the Mediterranean Theater of Operations (MTO). The history also includes mission reports, mission crew rosters, Missing Air Crew Reports (MACR), personal mission logs, journals, and diaries made available by various sources. Invitation Anyone who has documentation pertaining to the 310th Bomb Group or its members, and would like to have it included in this history, is welcome to participate. Copies of: photos (official or personal); orders (promotion, decoration, travel, etc.); Mission Reports; Missing Air Crew Reports; personal diaries, logs, journals, etc; other documentation; or information that will help identify hi-lited individuals will be greatly appreciated, as one of my goals is correctly identify every man and plane assigned to the 310th Bomb Group. My only interest in this project is to honor those who served by perpetuating their story, and making it available for future generations, particularly the families and friends of our Great Heroes.

  • An Exploratory Study of Free Will in the Social Sciences
    AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF FREE WILL IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES A Thesis Presented to The Ashbrook Center for Public Affairs at Ashland University In Partial Fulfillment of the Program Requirement for Ashbrook Students Michael Byrne April, 2011 © 2011 Michael Byrne ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract This study is an exploratory analysis of the belief in free will within the social sciences. While free will is a common topic in many fields, currently, very little research has investigated this topic. As such, this study was based on the assumption that no statistical difference would be found between the social sciences on belief in free will. To investigate this hypothesis, a historical case study was used to analyze belief in free will among professionals in the social science fields. Three general problems were addressed. First, this study examined the consistency of the belief in free will or determinism across the major divisions of the soft sciences. Second, this investigation highlighted the differences found within anthropology and political science. Lastly, consistency and inconsistency in the belief of free will and determinism within the social sciences was discussed. Significance was found in political science and anthropology. Two potential implications are addressed for these findings. Firstly, anthropology and political science may not accurately be classified as social sciences. Secondly, a mobius model was introduced to explain the natural flow of quantitative and qualitative methods that define the social sciences. These results provide an understanding of the social sciences beliefs concerning free-will. As no research has investigated belief in this way before, this research provides a basis for further research.
