the flag when he wrote an article titled "The Fourteenth of June" in the old Chicago Argus newspaper. In June of 1888, at the same time he was graduating first in his class from dental college, Cigrand addressed a Chicago organization known as the "Sons of America". In his speech he emphasized the good that would come from a flag holiday. In response, the organization undertook to publish a magazine called the "American Standard" to inculcate reverence for American emblems, and appointed Cigrand its editor-in-chief. Cigrand's articles in this magazine helped direct public attention to the Flag and the date of its birth. In the years that followed, Cigrand authored hundreds of other magazine and newspaper articles advocating recognition of the June 14th adoption of the Stars and Stripes. In the third Saturday in June, 1894, , the first general public school children's celebration

National Symbols of New Zealand New Zealand flag History The idea of the flag of New Zealand was first introduced in 1830, because of trading troubles. At that time, a trading ship built inNZ, Sir George Murray was seized in Sydney by Customs officials for sailing without a flag or register. Australia, which was the most important trading partner for NZ had British navigation laws which ruled that every ship must carry an official certificate detailing construction, ownership and nationality of the ship. The problem was that during that period of time, NZ was not yet a colony ofGreat Britan, thats why the NZ-built ships could not sail under a British flag or register. Without a flag to represent the new nation, trading ships and their valuable cargoes would continue to be seized (held by the Australian customs (toll) The Australians called for signing a legislation to remove any obstacles to New Zealand's incre...

In the history the Middle Ages were followed by the Renassance period. During this period a new class called bourgeoeisie came into being. This is the period when monarchies based on nationality were estabilished. The Renaessance started in Italy In the 14th century. Then it spread all over Europe, reached England in 16th century.

Estonia changed hands but the three lions remained. In 1925 they were adopted officially. The present large coat of arms is a golden shield charged with three blue lions with a golden oak branch on each side. The small coat of arms is identical but without oak branches. Use of the historic coat of arms as the official insignia of the Republic of Estonia was readopted in August 1990. In addition to the three main state emblems, Estonia has its national flower (the cornflower), its national bird (the barn swallow) and its national stone (limestone). There are a number of other things in Estonia which have symbolic value without any official status: the oak tree, the weather-vane and the Tower of Pikk Hermann in Tallinn, Hermann Castle in Narva, Big Egg Hill in South Estonia, and others. 6. Climate The climate in Estonia is determined by the country's location. Climatic
attached to certain calendar dated, constitute the soul of British social culture and are of great interest for a researcher. At Lichfield, a festival commonly called the Greenhill Bower and Court of Array takes place annually in late May or June. This is really two customs, of which the first the Bower is said to run back to the time of King Oswy of Northumbria, who founded Lichfield in A.D. 656. In the Middle Ages, the city guilds used to meet at Greenhill, carrying flower garlands and emblems of their trades. Now the Bower ceremonies have become a sort of carnival, wherein lorries carrying tableaux, trade floats, decorated carts, and bands pass cheerfully through streets profusely adorned with flowers and greenery. American English 14 In the early part of the seventeenth century English settlers began to bring their language to America, and another series of changes began to take place. The settlers borrowed words from

Australia is composed of 6 states - New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and Victoria); and 2 territories - Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and the Northern Territory. There are no official native emblems. However, the Red Kangaroo, the Emu and the Golden Wattle appear on Commonwealth coat of arms. The national anthem is called „Advance Australia Fair“. The flag has the „Union Jack“ in the top left-hand corner. The rest is dark blue background with white stars. These stars consist of the southern cross and a large seven-pointed white „federation star“ representing 6 states and the territories. 48. The Strine.

Through their harmony, Charles could make his heavenly ascent and bring great benefits to their obedient subjects. Very costy. Closed court, believed in masques. 3. 17th century „metaphysical” poetry (Donne, Quarles, Herbert, Crashaw, Vaughan, Marvell) Religious poetry, books of emblems (allegorical pictures, verses explaining their moral), unconventional or „unpotic” figures like compass or mosquito to reach surprise effects, paradox and oxymoron. About the profound areas of experience: love (romantic and sexual), man’s relationship with God. Brief but intense meditations, striking use of wit, irony and wordplay.

However, Farr disagrees with this analysis, saying that Dickinson's "relentlessly measuring mind ... deflates the airy elevation of the Transcendental". Apart from the major themes discussed below, Dickinson's poetry frequently uses humor, puns, irony and satire.Flowers and gardens Farr notes that Dickinson's "poems and letters almost wholly concern flowers" and that allusions to gardens often refer to an "imaginative realm ... wherein flowers [are] often emblems for actions and emotions". She associates some flowers, like gentians and anemones, with youth and humility; others with prudence and insight. Her poems were often sent to friends with accompanying letters and nosegays. Farr notes that one of Dickinson's earlier poems, written about 1859, appears to "conflate her poetry itself with the posies": "My nosegays are for Captives / Dim long expectant eyes / Fingers denied the plucking, /
Public International Law is a system of law, different from domestic law. Why is this system unique? Usually law regulates relations between people, people and the state etc, PIL regulates relations between states. Thats why PIL is important for international relation students. PIL influences the life of everybody, it doesn't regulate people directly but indirectly (through the decisions of the states), because it's everywhere. It's like air. E.g. when you want to send a letter to Brazil, you put a stamp from your own country and send it from your post office and the letter gets delivered. Why is this so easy, because there are certain international conventions that regulate postal services. E.g. traffic signs are almost the same everywhere, why? Because of certain int conventions that require the states to have more or less unified traffic signs. States apply international regulations to national regulations and they ...
