Sharjah (ceety)
Sharjah is the seat o govrenment o the emirate o Sharjah. Sharjah shares legal, poleetical, militar an economic functions wi the ither emirates athin a federal framewirk, awtho each emirate haes jurisdiction ower some functions sic as civic law enforcement an provision an upkeep o local facilities. Sharjah haes been ruled bi the Al Qasimi dynasty syne 1972.
The ceety is a centre for cultur an industry, an alane contributes tae 7.4% o the GDP o the Unitit Arab Emirates. The ceety covers an approximate aurie o 235 km² an haes a population o ower 800,000 (2008).
Etymology
Mony researchers hae supposed that the wird Sharqah, tae which Sharjah owes its oreegins, comes frae licht. The terrain is sae flat that the sun shines evenly on the land.
Sultan Al Omaimi, an Emirati poet an researcher in folk literature, says that some historians speculate that Sharjah wis the name o an idol worshipped in the pre-Islamic era which wis kent as Abed Al Shareq. It an aa haed a feminine form cried Al Shareqa. This idol, therefore, dates back tae antiquity, but haes been throughoot a strang presence in the region's tradeetions, says Obaid. Anither theory fynds that the wird Sharqah comes frae a fort in Andalusie as mentioned in the encyclopaedic beuk, "Kitab mu'jam al-buldan" written bi the Muslim scholar Yaqut Al Hamawi.
Ither researchers link the wird Sharqah tae the fact that the ceety is locatit tae the Sharq, or east, o Dubai an Abu Dhabi. Hence the Arabic classical form o Sharjah is Al Shareqah. It is the colloquial form that is Al Sharjah.
History
Historically, Sharjah wis ane o the wealthiest touns in this region wi a dounset in existence for ower 5000 years. In the early 18t century, the Qawasim clan (Huwayla tribe) establisht itsel in Sharjah, c.1727 declarin Sharjah independent. On 8 Januar 1820, Sheikh Sultan I signed the General Maritime Treaty wi Breetain, acceptin a protectorate tae keep the Ottoman Turks oot. Lik fower o its neighbours, Ajman, Dubai, Ras al-Khaimah, an Umm al-Qaiwain, its poseetion on the route tae Indie made it important enough tae be recognised as a salute state (be it o the lawest class: 3 guns). On 2 December 1971, Sheikh Khalid III joined the Unitit Arab Emirates.
Lik the ither umwhile Trucial States, Sharjah's name is kent bi mony stamp collectors acause o the lairge nummers o stamps that wur issued bi the Sharjah Post Office shortly afore the formation o the Unitit Arab Emirates. Mony o thir items featur subjects unrelatit tae the emirates whose names thay bear, an therefore mony popular catalogues dae no leet them.

Coat o airms o Venezuela
The current coat o airms o Venezuela wis primarily approved bi the Congress on Aprile 18, 1836, unnergoing sma modifications throu history, reachin the present version.
The coat o airms wis established in the Law o the Naitional Banner, Shield an Anthem (Ley de Bandera, Escudo e Himno Nacionales), passed on Februar 17, 1954 bi the military govrenor o Venezuela, Marcos Pérez Jiménez. The shield is dividit in the colors o the Naitional Banner. In the dexter chief, on a reid field, wheat represents the union o the 20 States o the Republic existin at the time an the weel o the Naition. In sinister chief, on a yellae field, weapons (a swuird, a sabre an three lances) an twa Naitional Banners are tied bi a branch o laurel, as a seembol o triumph in war. In base, on a deep blue field, a wild white horse (aiblins representin Simón Bolívar's white horse Palomo) runs free, an emblem o unthirldom an freedom.
Abuin the shield are twa crossed cornucopias (horns o plenty), pourin oot wealth. The shield is flanked bi an olive branch an anither o palm, baith tied at the bottom o the coat wi a lairge baund that represents the naitional tricolour (yellow for the naition's wealth, blue for the ocean separatin Venezuela frae Spain, an reid for the bluid an courage o the fowk). The follaein captions appear in gowden letters on the blue stripe:
2006 chynges
In Mairch 2006 the Naitional Assembly approved chynges tae the coat o airms an the banner, which wur made offeecial on Mairch 12, 2006, coincidin wi Banner Day. Prior tae 2006, the horse wis runnin tae the sinister side o the shield wi its heid turned tae the dexter (tae the viewer, this appears as the horse gallopin towards his richt an leukin back tae the left). In heraldic practice, ainimals an beasts are tae appear facin tae the dexter, which is considered the naitural an honourable poseetion. The Economist observed that Hugo Chávez ordered the seal chynged efter his dochter, Rosinés Chávez Rodríguez, haed describit the previous horse as "leukin backwards". Govrenment supporters state, housomeivver, that even if the preses' dochter wis the ane who sparked the discussion, baith the legislative an executive branch agreed tae add a machete as a seembol representin the peasant fechters durin the revolutionary wars in Venezuela syne the War o Unthirldom, a bow an an arrae as a retribution tae the brave indigenous population who resistit the Spainyie conquistadors.
Mony critics hae suggestit that the horse, nou runnin tae the dexter (tae the viewer's left) is a poleetical statement o the current left-wing govrenment o Preses Hugo Chávez. Previously in the Venezuelan airms adoptit in 1863, the horse wis movin as it is seen the day, tae the dexter (the viewer's left). An aa tae note is that in heraldry, poseetions are no describit frae the viewer's pynt o view, but rather the shield's, sae while the horse appears tae be gallopin left tae ane observin the airms, the horse is actually gallopin tae the dexter, or richt, side o the shield.
Poleetical opponents hae an aa claimed that in addition tae bein poleetically motivatit, the chynges wur economically wasteful. At the time o the offeecial unveilin, the opposition pairty statit that thay will no uise the new banner or coat o airms, but retain the auld an employ them in demonstrations against the govrenment. Housomeivver, bi 2008, an wi a slichtly improved poleetical climate, the new coat o airms an banner hae been generally acceptit amang the population an opposition.

History
''See an aw: Gorizia an Gradisca, Julian Mairch
The aurie haes been inhabitit syne prehistoric times. Archeological remains frae the Hallstatt period hae been foond in the aurie. In the 6t hunderyear, it wis settled bi Slavic tribes, ancestors o the modren Slovenes. Durin the Middle Ages, it wis first pairt o the Patriairchate o Aquileia, and later of Tolmin Coonty, afore bein includit in the Habsburg Monarchy in the 15t hunderyear, like the majority o Slovene-speakin territories. Wi the exception o a brief period atween 1809 an 1813, when it wis includit unner the Napoleonic Kinrick o Italy, it remained unner the Austrian rule till 1918.
In the mid-19t hunderyear, the aurie became an important centreo the Slovene naitional revival. Durin Warld War I, the whole aurie wis the theatre o the Battles o the Isonzo, focht atween Italy an Austrick-Hungary. Efter the end o the war in 1918, the region wis occupee'd bi the Italian Airmy, an in 1920 it wis offeecially annexed tae Italy, an includit in the Julian Mairch region. Atween 1922 an 1943, the Kobarid aurie, which haed a exclusively Slovene-speakin population, was submitted tae a policy o violent Fascist Italianization. Mony locals emigratit tae the neebourin Kinrick o Yugoslavie. Several Italian militar memorials wur built in the aurie.
