The regular passport contains 32 pages, and the business passport contains 64 pages.

The reverse design is of a small bald eagle surrounded by palm and olive branches, and perched on a cloud. Since the Coinage Act of 1792 required only that the cent and half cent display their denomination, Draped Bust dimes were minted with no indication of their value.Draped Bust Dime:Small Eagle Retrieved on 2010-2-9 All 1796 dimes have 15 stars on the obverse, representing the number of U.S. states then in the Union. The first 1797 dimes were minted with 16 stars, reflecting Tennessee's admission as the 16th state.

The Olympic Games ceremonies of the Ancient Olympic Games were an integral part of these Games; the modern Olympic games have opening, closing, and medal ceremonies. Some of the elements of the modern ceremonies harken back to the Ancient Games from which the Modern Olympics draw their ancestry. An example of this is the prominence of Greece in both the opening and closing ceremonies. During the 2004 Games, the medal winners received a crown of olive branches, which was a direct reference to the Ancient Games, in which the victor's prize was an olive wreath.

Seal used from 1798 to 1804 When first meeting in Philadelphia in the 1790s, members of the early Senate admired the visually appealing Great Seal enough that they had it reproduced on a carpet woven for their chamber. They also selected a similar design for the first official Senate seal. James Trenchard's 1786 Great Seal This first design had an eagle with a shield on its breast, olive branches in its left talon, and arrows in its right. Above the eagle were rays of light emanating from clouds, representing the emergence of the new nation.

As with many other stories and parables, the parable of the olive tree can be interpreted as a commentary on life in general. However, in context, the parable is an allegory of Israel's relationship with Jesus over thousands of years of history. The lord of the vineyard is Jesus, the vineyard is the world, the olive branches are groups or families of people, and the olive fruits are the lives and works of men. The original tree appears to represent the nation of Israel and its roots the pure Gospel.

In times of war waving a white flag is a banner of truce, talks/negotiations or surrender. Four distinctive African flags currently in the collection of the National Maritime Museum in Britain were flown in action by Itsekiri ships under the control of Nana Olomu during the conflict in the late 19th century. One is the flag generally known as the Benin Empire flag and one is referred to as Nana Olomu's flag. The Flag of the United Nations, sky blue field with north polar view looking down on a world map in white with two olive branches wreaths curved around.

This ambitious project created a strong connection between the basilica and the Chigis that extended well into the next century. In the Julian era the church became again the location of important papal ceremonies. The pope launched his first campaign here on 26 August 1506 and when he returned to Rome after the successful Northern Italian war, he spent the night of 27 March 1507 in the convent of Santa Maria del Popolo. On the next day Julius celebrated High Mass on Palm Sunday in the church that was decorated with fronds of palm and olive branches.

They designed the state's emblems, medals, stamps, and currency notes, including the 1949 Israeli State Coat of Arms (an image of a menorah and olive branches). In addition, they advertised cigarettes and other consumer goods, as well as designed stamps for countries in Africa, Asia, and South America. Their posters, other advertisements, and logos from 1935 to the close of their studio in 1974—rendered for the lottery, marketing fairs, land settlement, support of the army, food rationing, anti-black-market drives, and other nationalistic efforts—express a hyped Communist attitude, but not extreme or dour as in the propaganda of Bolshevik Russia.

The house was decorated on the outside with olive branches if the child was a boy, or with garlands of wool if the child was a girl; and a repast was prepared. The child was then carried round the fire by the nurse, and thus, as it were, presented to the gods of the house and to the family, and at the same time received its name, to which the guests were witnesses.Isaeus. De Pyrrhi Haered. p. 34. s. 30. Bekker. The carrying of the child round the hearth was the principal part of the solemnity, from which its name was derived.

The wild olive branches grafted in to the original tree represent the preaching of the Gospel of Christ to Gentile nations and their conversion or baptism into the Church of Christ. The transplanted branches represent scattered Israel including the House of Lehi in the New World giving rise to both good and bad fruits. The good fruits might refer to the Nephites and poor fruits to the Lamanites considering that the Nephites were typically followers of Christ and the Lamanites typically not. Although notice that the bad fruits are burned in the end, which might correspond to the destruction of the Nephite nation.

In the prologue, Otway praises the Duke of York and congratulates him on his safe return from Scotland: ::The baneful cloud's withdrawn, ::And happiness again begins to dawn; ::Since back with joy and triumph he is come, ::That always drove fears hence, ne'er brought 'em home. ::Oft has he ploughed the boist'rous ocean o'er, ::Yet ne'er more welcome to the longing shore, ::Not when he brought home victories before; ::For then fresh laurels flourished on his brow, ::And he comes crowned with olive branches now. ::Receive him! Oh, receive him as his friends; and dedicates the published edition of the play to the Duchess of York, suggesting strong Tory sympathies.

As far as we can ascertain the details of the masque, the Queen of Sheba was to bring gifts to the King, representing Solomon, and was to be followed by the spirits of Faith, Hope, Charity, Victory and Peace. Unfortunately, as Harington reported, the actress playing the Queen tripped over the steps of the throne, sending her gifts flying; Hope and Faith were too drunk to speak a word, while Peace, annoyed at finding her way to the throne blocked, made good use of her symbolic olive branches to slap anyone who was in her way.Henry Harington, Nugae Antiquae, vol. 1 (London, 1804), pp.

These coins include one, two, and five Pahlavi and only minted in 1926, and on both sides, they have the Qajar crown and oak and olive branches, and on the reverse, there is the symbolic lion and sun (coat of arms), which is very similar in this respect to Qajar gold Toman. The only difference is the inclusion of Reza Shah's title as "Reza Shah Pahlavi Shahanshah Iran"- in Persian legends: "رضا شاه پهلوی شاهنشاه ایران" on the coin and change the calendar from Islamic to the Persian. These coins, especially the legend type five Pahlavi (with the mintage of 271 pieces), are among the scarce gold coins.

At the top of the painting twelve angels dressed in the colours of faith, hope and charity dance in a circle holding olive branches, and above them heaven opens in a great golden dome, while at the bottom of the painting three angels embrace three men, seeming to raise them up from the ground. They hold scrolls which proclaim in Latin, "peace on earth to men of goodwill". Behind them seven devils flee to the underworld, some impaled on their own weapons. In Renaissance times Last Judgment paintings showed viewers the reckoning of the damned and the saved at the time of Christ's Second Coming.

Launch of on 4 March 1840, sliding stern first A Babylonian narrative dating from the 3rd millennium BC describes the completion of a ship: > Openings to the water I stopped; > I searched for cracks and the wanting parts I fixed: > Three sari of bitumen I poured over the outside; > To the gods I caused oxen to be sacrificed. Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans called on their gods to protect seamen. Favor was evoked from the monarch of the seas—Poseidon in Greek mythology, Neptune in Roman mythology. Ship launching participants in ancient Greece wreathed their heads with olive branches, drank wine to honor the gods, and poured water on the new vessel as a symbol of blessing.

Dimitris Avramopoulos, Mayor of Athens and Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki, President of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games Committee entered the stadium. Then priestesses of Olympia, from Greece, enter to do a traditional rite in preparation for the Olympic flag Handover Ceremony. After their performance, the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Frank Sartor arrives with the Olympic flag and handed over to the Avramopoulos by the IOC President, Juan Antonio Samaranch. After the handover ceremony, the priestesses were looking around the flag, they take off the flag off its pole, throw laurel olive branches on top and carried the flag out of the stadium to Athens, the next Olympic host city and the birthplace of the competition in the modern era.

A new series date, or addition or change of a sequential letter under a date, results from a change in the Secretary of the Treasury, the Treasurer of the United States, and/or a change to the note's appearance such as a new currency design. On the edges are olive branches entwined around the 1s. A small plate serial number-letter combination is on the lower right, and a small plate position (check) letter is on the upper left corner of the note. If "FW" appears before the lower right plate number it indicates that the bill was produced at the satellite Bureau of Engraving and Printing facility in Fort Worth, Texas.

The Shrine Peace Memorial was erected in 1930 by the Shriners. This monument, depicting a winged angel holding aloft a crown of olive branches and standing upon a globe held aloft by female sphinxes, was presented to the people of Canada on June 12, 1930 by the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (better known as the Shriners) as a symbol of peace and friendship between the United States and Canada. It is also meant as "an ongoing reminder that Freemasonry actively promotes the ideals peace, harmony, and prosperity for all humankind".Let There Be Peace It is situated immediately south of the Bandshell, and is the focal point of the surrounding rose garden.

Mario Mellini (†1756) The large tombstone (in the floor) of Cardinal Mario Mellini (died 1756) is inlaid with a mosaic of colourful stones. The inscription says that Mellini was minister plenipotentiary at the Holy See of Maria Theresa, Empress and Queen of Hungary "in the most difficult times", and his tomb was erected by his nieces, Anna Serlupi and Giulia Falconieri and his nephew, Antonio Casali in 1760. The epitaph is set in a Baroque crest which is flanked by green olive branches and surmounted by the coat-of-arms of the cardinal. The allegorical figures of Prudence (left with mirror in her hand) and Fortitude (right with sword) are reclining on the top of the crest.

On the reverse, the eagle was lowered in position, and a pair of olive branches framing the eagle was replaced by stars. According to Burdette, by making major changes in the design without consulting the designer, Mint officials had "duplicated design versions already rejected by MacNeil, wasted government time, alienated one of the country's best sculptors, and flagrantly bastardized artistic creativity." MacNeil, who had no idea the Mint was changing his designs, requested permission to visit the Mint on October 24 to discuss the conversion of his approved models into actual coins. Chaffin (again briefly acting director in von Engelken's absence) declined to pay for his journey, and MacNeil did not come.

The Futurama universe has a cooperative interplanetary organization known as the Democratic Order of Planets or D.O.O.P.. First mentioned in the episode "Love's Labours Lost in Space", it is explored in more detail in "Brannigan Begin Again", in which it is compared to the present-day United Nations and the Federation from Star Trek. The D.O.O.P. flag is styled on the flag of the United Nations with two olive branches representing peace, replacing the globe image with an atom diagram with the word "doop" in lowercase in the center. The D.O.O.P. maintains a military capability, most often led by Zapp Brannigan. The typography of D.O.O.P. is identical to that used by the one-hit wonder of the same name.

Additionally, while the other military bands belong to the Education and Youth Corps, the IDF Orchestra belongs to the Regime and Discipline Branch--both are under the Manpower Directorate, which is responsible for Israel's state and military ceremonies. Among the many functions of the orchestra, its main activities are performing at graduation courses in military training bases, official visits by heads of state and military personnel, and official ceremonies (such as the torch-lighting ceremony held each year on Mount Herzl, Jerusalem to celebrate Israel's Independence Day). The unit's symbol is a harp of David placed between two trumpets amalgamated with olive branches. When the orchestra is not performing, its musicians wear the standard uniform (olive green) with a musician's pin above the left pocket.

Some came along with lanterns like those used by altar boys accompanying the Viaticum, other brought their father's bicycle headlamp lit by acetylene gas, others carried paraffin hurricane lamps and even candle-lit lanterns used by farmers on their carts; younger children brought coloured paper lamps and Venetian lights. Some even carried palm fronds and olive branches while others improvised lanterns made of hewn small pumpkins lit by candle. As soon as the statue of Baby Jesus, carried on a white linen cloth in the arms of an adult member, appeared on the doorstep of the centre, all started singing carols Nini la Tibkix Iżjed and the Adeste Fideles. From Fra Diegu Street, the procession made its way through the streets of Ħamrun.

Sophocles gives one of the most detailed descriptions of libation in Greek literature in Oedipus at Colonus, performed as atonement in the grove of the Eumenides: > First, water is fetched from a freshly flowing spring; cauldrons which stand > in the sanctuary are garlanded with wool and filled with water and honey; > turning towards the east, the sacrificer tips the vessels towards the west; > the olive branches which he has been holding in his hand he now strews on > the ground at the place where the earth has drunk in the libation; and with > a silent prayer he departs, not looking back.Summary by Burkert, Greek > Religion, p. 72. Hero of Alexandria described a mechanism for automating the process by using altar fires to force oil from the cups of two statues.

A popular but erroneous myth is that the seal is changed during times of war, so that the eagle faces the arrows in its left talon. This belief may have arisen because major changes to the seal have coincidentally been made before or after wars – specifically, the 1945 change in the seal, and also the 1916 change in the flag (though not the seal) from the right-facing Great Seal to the left-facing presidential seal. This misconception may also have arisen from a comment made by Winston Churchill, who (regarding Truman's redesign of the seal) joked: "Mr. President, with the greatest respect, I would prefer the American eagle's neck to be on a swivel so that it could face the olive branches or the arrows, as the occasion might demand".

An anonymous manuscript quoted by historian Marfany expresses that on May 21, a Monday, revolutionaries presented themselves as such with white ribbons on their clothes and hats. In Juan Manuel Beruti's memoirs, ', it is commented on the use of white ribbons on clothes and cockades with olive branches on hats. It was also documented by Spanish functionary Faustino Ansay that when news of the revolution arrived to Mendoza, its supporters started to wear white stripes. A report attributed to Ramón Manuel de Pazos says that on May 21, 1810, Domingo French and Antonio Beruti distributed said stripes as a sign of peace and unity between patriots and supporters of the Spanish government, but given the hostility of the latter, on May 25 they began spreading red stripes as a reference to the Jacobins.

The last gold coin of Iran in Toman Currency system; on the commemorative of Nowruz celebration; 1926 The first Pahlavi coins, which were minted from 1926 to 1929, only in gold purity (0.900) and coin margins (oak and olive branches) were similar to Qajar coins, and differs from not only in terms of design, type and timeline, but they changed fundamentally in their weight and calendar system. In fact, in this period, only in 1926, the standard of the Toman coins weighing (2.85 grams) was used to mint gold coins. Thus, two thousand dinar coins (one fifth Tomans) and five thousand (half Toman) of Qajar gold coins were generally removed, and coins of one, two and five Pahlavi were replaced with coins of one, two and five Tomans.

Tens of thousands reportedly marched in Damascus and its suburbs, and about 7,000 protesters wearing funeral shrouds and carrying olive branches and flowers gathered in Baniyas, vowing to "meet the army peacefully", according to Al Jazeera, whose Arabic-language channel broadcast live from the city for some minutes. Several thousand Syrians participated in a protest march to the vicinity of Deraa, but security forces maintaining a siege of the city refused to let them enter with supplies for its inhabitants. Following this "Day of Defiance", Amnesty International reported that activists Razan Zaitouneh, Wa’el Hammada, Haitham al-Maleh, Hind al-Labwani, Omar al-Labwani, Jwan Yousef Khorshid, Walid al-Bunni and Suheir al-Atassi had been forced to go into hiding. Many anti-government protests occurred, starting mainly in the Kurdish Northeast and Damascus suburbs.

To the left of the blue field, behind the shield, is a caduceus representing commerce, and to the right, in the same position, a pickaxe symbolizing work and the mining industry. Crowning the coat of arms, with a silver background, is a radiant triangle with an eye in the middle, representing the scrutiny of Providence protecting the Bolívar State territory. Olive branches, emblem of peace, border the coat of arms. Where they meet below the shield is a golden ribbon with the following dates: in the center, 5 July 1811, date of the Declaration of Venezuelan Independence; to the left, 15 February 1819, date of the Installation of the Congress of Angostura and to the right, 16 December 1863, date of the Incorporation of Guayana into the Federal Republic.

Curfews and clashes cripple Baghdad, Basra – IRIN During the fighting on the evening of March 28, reports came in that a unit of 500 policemen decided to stop working with the government and join the Mahdi Army. The next morning, in a well-publicized event in Sadr City, 40 men who said they were Iraqi police officers surrendered their weapons to Sadr officials saying "We can't fight our brothers in the Mahdi Army, so we came here to submit our weapons." In return, the Sadr officials gave the officers olive branches and Korans. The weapons were returned after the officers pledged not to use them against Mahdi Army members. “These weapons are for defending the country but not for fighting your brothers,” said Sheik Salman al-Fraji, head of the Sadr office there (See also: ).

Modern theologians, such as John Walvoord, have furthered the point of individualism by comparing the "two lampstands" and the "two olive trees" of Revelation 11 to the two golden pipes and two olive trees/branches of Zechariah 4. By the identification of the two olive branches as "two anointed ones" or "two sons of the oil", in Zechariah, this reinforces the literalist interpretation that the two witnesses are two people. The personification of the two witnesses in Revelation is so prevalent that according to theologian William Barclay, the passage seems to refer to definite persons. Walvoord further pointed out that because the Revelation passage does not specifically identify who the two witnesses are, it would be safer to conclude that they are not related to any previous historical character.

The official model for the military colours was established in 1911 and states that they should measure 120 cm in the hoist by 130 cm in the fly, the field being vertically divided in green and red, with the National coat of arms in the center, surrounded by two golden olive branches tied by a white scroll containing the motto Esta é a Ditosa Pátria Minha Amada (This is my Beloved Blissful Motherland). Despite the existence of this official model, the various branches of the Armed Forces adopted different models of colours over the years, with various designs and dimensions. In March 2020, a uniform model of national colours was adopted for all the branches. This is based in the 1911 official model, but measuring 120 cm both in the hoist and in the fly.

Leech chose not to write again; he addressed one concern, about whether the olive branches in the design were rendered accurately, by visiting the National Botanical Garden, obtaining one, and sending it to Barber. The question of how to render the stars (representing the 13 original states) on the coin was posed in the letters; in the end, Leech opted for six-pointed stars on the obverse and five-pointed ones on the reverse. Barber had prepared three versions of the design, each with clouds over the eagle; Leech approved one on October 31 and ordered working dies prepared, but then began to question the presence of the clouds, and had two more versions made. On November 6, President Harrison and his Cabinet considered which of the designs to approve, and chose one without the clouds; the following day, Leech ordered working dies prepared.

The Libation Bearers is the English title of the center tragedy from the Orestes Trilogy of Aeschylus, in reference to the offerings Electra brings to the tomb of her dead father Agamemnon. Sophocles gives one of the most detailed descriptions of libation in Greek literature in Oedipus at Colonus, performed as atonement in the grove of the Eumenides: > First, water is fetched from a freshly flowing spring; cauldrons which stand > in the sanctuary are garlanded with wool and filled with water and honey; > turning towards the east, the sacrificer tips the vessels towards the west; > the olive branches which he has been holding in his hand he now strews on > the ground at the place where the earth has drunk in the libation; and with > a silent prayer he departs, not looking back.Summary by Burkert, Greek > Religion, p. 72. Hero of Alexandria described a mechanism for automating the process by using altar fires to force oil from the cups of two statues.

Washington–FranklinsWreath of Olive branches designs, issued 1908–1922 The Washington–Franklin Issues are a series of definitive U.S. Postage stamps depicting George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, issued by the U.S. Post Office between 1908 and 1922. The distinctive feature of this issue is that it employs only two engraved heads set in ovals—Washington and Franklin in full profile—and replicates one or another of these portraits on every stamp denomination in the series. This is a significant departure from previous definitive issues, which had featured pantheons of famous Americans, with each portrait-image confined to a single denomination. At the same time, this break with the recent past represented a return to origins. Washington and Franklin, after all, had appeared on the first two American stamps, issued in 1847, and during the next fifteen years, each of the eight stamp denominations available (with one exception) featured either Washington or Franklin.

Berman, William William Fulbright and the Vietnam War, Kent: Kent State University Press, 1988 p.93 Seeing that the Johnson administration was reeling in the wake of the Tet Offensive, Fulbright in February 1968 called for hearings by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee into the Gulf of Tonkin incident, as Fulbright noted that there were several aspects of the claim that North Vietnamese torpedo boats had attacked American destroyers in international waters that seemed dubious and questionable.Berman, William William Fulbright and the Vietnam War, Kent: Kent State University Press, 1988 p.94-95 McNamara was subpoenaed, and the televised hearings led to "fireworks" as Fulbright repeatedly asked difficult answers about De Soto raids on North Vietnam and Operation 34A.Berman, William William Fulbright and the Vietnam War, Kent: Kent State University Press, 1988 p.95 On 11 March 1968, Secretary of State Dean Rusk appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.Berman, William William Fulbright and the Vietnam War, Kent: Kent State University Press, 1988 p.95-96 Fulbright made his sympathies clear by wearing a tie decorated with doves carrying olive branches.
