The National Association of Criminology Experts and Experts in Forensic Sciences for the Courts of Justice, the ANPC, has renewed its Board of Governors and has re-elected the forensic criminologist Dr. Moisés P. Sansaloni Miñana as its president. He will also remain the coordinating director of the commissions and of the regional delegations.
The re-elected Board of Governors shares its responsibilities as follows:
The association brings together university graduates in Criminology and highly regarded experts in the different forensic and expert specialties. In addition to a university degree in their specialty, all its members must hold postgraduate training in procedural rules and their practice. As a result, their reports and opinions reach the bodies of the Administration of Justice with the necessary professional rigor.
The ANPC was founded under the Spanish Organic Law regulating the Right of Association and the Regulation of the National Register of Associations. It is entered in the National Register of Associations of the Ministry of the Interior, group 1, section 1, under national number 606.877, it is listed in the Administration of Justice with ID 1440 in the Community of Madrid, and its scope of action is national.
The emblem illustrating this news shows the ANPC coat of arms, with the female figure of Justice, crested with an open royal crown and surrounded by its 2 banners and its 2 mottos, among them «Forensic criminologists for the Courts of Justice».
I have the honor of belonging to this association as a heraldry expert and as an information technology expert, and of having painted the coat of arms that accompanies this news. My congratulations to the re-elected Board of Governors and to all the colleagues.
Loyal knowledge and understanding for the Administration of Justice.

Coat of arms created with the following characteristics: a pointed base; the field in plain Azure and Argent enamel; the ordinary and the 2 charges are illuminated in plain Azure and Argent and outlined in Sable; the tinctures of the dexter and sinister mantling are organised differently to contrast with the colour of the field they accompany; the wreath and the mantling are stamped with chinoiserie; in the crest the tinctures of the chevron and the horse are contrasted for greater emphasis; none of the representations of this coat of arms employ, either for its base or its ornament, traditionally feminine forms; and the whole has received a lightly beaten metal finish.
The «chinapiería» stamping, which adorns the mantling and the wreath of this helmed coat of arms, is registered as a trade mark in [Salmerón Cabañas, A.; 2009] and as intellectual property in [Salmerón Cabañas, A.; 2008].

Banner quarterly of sixteen: 1, 6, 11, and 16 Azure, three fleurs de lis Or; 2, 5, 12, and 15 Gules, three lions, passant, guardant, in pale Or, armed and langued Azure; 3, 8, 9, and 14 Gules, a castle triple towered Or, port and windows Azure, masoned Sable; 4, 7, 10, and 13 Argent, a lion rampant Purpure, armed and langued Gules, crowned Or.
Pendón cuartelado de dieciseis: 1o, 6o, 11o y 16o de azur, tres flores de lis de oro; 2o, 5o, 12o y 15o de gules, tres leopardos en palo de oro, armados y lampasados de azur; 3o, 8o, 9o y 14o de gules, un castillo de oro, aclarado de azur, mazonado de sable; 4o, 7o, 10o y 13o de plata, un león rampante de púrpura, armado y lampasado de gules, coronado de oro.
Banner interpreted by me as follows: its shape preserves the 5x6 proportions of a shield; the field is enamelled with flat tinctures Gules and Azure; the castles, fleurs-de-lis, and leopards are outlined in Sable; but the lions are outlined in their field; and the finish of the banner is watercoloured.
I have interpreted it from a simplification of the banner appearing in [Edward IV of England; 1461; row 27, 1st column, final banner], which reflects Edward IV’s aspirations to the throne of Castile and León. In that armorial, this banner is held by a «White Lion of March», which was the personal badge of Edward IV.

Argent, a lion sejant erect Purpure.
Escudo de plata, un león sentado de púrpura.
Imaginary coat of arms of King Fernando II of León, which I have developed based on his seal and the arms of his successor, with: the shape of the coat of arms is semi-circular; the field enameled in flat argent; the lion enameled in purpure and illuminated; and the whole rendered with a watercolor finish.
For this imaginary coat of arms I have chosen a representation of the lion in a posture similar to that of the great seal appearing in [Fernando II de León; 1167], which is sejant ~ «sentado» in Castilian, although beginning to rise «sejant erect».
It should be noted that we are in a pre-heraldic period where the possible attitudes of the lion were not yet clearly defined, although several of them are already anticipated in the great seals of Fernando II, as can be seen, for example, passant in [Fernando II de León; 1181] and in other attitudes in the photographs of [Martín Fuertes, J. A.; 2002].

Azure, six lions rampant Or, 3, 2 and 1.
Escudo de azur, seis leones rampantes de oro, 3, 2 y 1.
Existing armories interpreted by me as follows: the shape of the shield is pointed; the field has been enameled in flat azure; the 6 lions are illuminated and cast shadows on the field; and the entire composition has a hammered metal finish.
The shield of Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou is considered the first documented coat of arms in history, dated to 1127, when Henry I of England gifted it to him on the occasion of his marriage to his daughter Matilda of England [The Heraldry Society; 2013].
There is no direct evidence that Henry I possessed a coat of arms, nor that it featured a rampant lion [Humphery-Smith, C.; 1983], but the gift of a shield with 6 lions to his future son-in-law could be an indication of such.
Geoffrey is buried in the Cathedral of Saint Julian in Le Mans, and his tomb is decorated with an enamel depicting him with his shield, where of his 6 lions: 4 are fully visible, and 2 are suggested by their claws.
However, it is possible that both the wedding gift narrative and the enamel on the tomb are from years after his death in 1151, so [Pastoureau, M.; Garvie, F.; 1997; page 18] asserts that «this account was written after Geoffrey's death... and his funerary enamel commissioned by his widow Matilda between 1155 and 1160... therefore it is possible that Geoffrey Plantagenet never had a coat of arms».

Imaginary arms of the Trojan hero that I have interpreted with: the mouth in the form of a semicircular (round) base; the field enameled in flat Gules tincture; the 2 combatant lions illuminated in Or, outlined with the field tincture and shaded; and all with a beaten metal finish.
Coat of arms interpreted from the imaginary blazon described by [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 7], which is as follows: «of red with two lions combatant Or».

Azure, a pall couped Argent, its three arms charged with «es» Sable, within a triangle reversed Argent, its three arms charged with «no es» Sable, within an annulet Or, all debruised by four plates, three on the vertex of the triangle, in dexter chief, charged with «el Padre» Sable, in sinister chief, charged with «el Hijo» Sable, in base, charged with «el Espítiru» Sable, and one on the fess point, charged with «Dios» Sable.
Escudo de azur, una perla recortada de plata, sus tres brazos cargados con «es» de sable, dentro de un triángulo ranversado de plata, sus tres brazos cargados con «no es» de sable, dentro de un anillo de oro, todo resaltado de cuatro bezantes de plata, tres sobre los vértices del triángulo, en la diestra del jefe, cargado de «el Padre» de sable, en la siniestra del jefe, cargado con «el Hijo» de sable, en la punta, cargado con «el Espítiru» de sable y uno sobre el corazón, cargado con «Dios» de sable.
Imaginary coat of arms that I have interpreted as follows: its base is semicircular (round); its field is illuminated in watercolor Azure; the rest in heavily beaten metal, outlined of the field and illuminated in Argent, except for the annulet which is illuminated in Or; and its letters all in plain Gules ink.
The circular crown when it is large and in the middle of the shield [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975] is called an annulet. [Avilés, J.; 1780a; pages 296 and 297] calls it annulet or small annulet depending on its size, if it is large an annulet and if it is small a small annulet. In English and French heraldry it is called «cyclamor» and hence the expression «cyclamor annulet» can also be found.
This annulet is my aesthetic contribution to this imaginary coat of arms as it is normally not represented with this annulet.
In other interpretations the words «non est» go on a bordure or on an orle, the latter being the case blazoned, for example, [Husenbeth, F. C.; 1882; 2nd appendix] in the following way: «Gules, an orle and pall Argent, conjoined and surmounted of four plates, occupying the dexter and sinister chief and the base and fess points respectively; the first inscribed Pater, the second Filius, and the third Spiritus Sanctus, the centre Deus; the connecting portions of the orle between them having the words non est, and those of the pall est».

Imaginary arms of the student House Hufflepuff at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, made with the following differential characteristics compared to other representations: the mouth of the coat of arms is rounded; the shield is party per pale; the field and the badgers are enameled in flat tinctures of Sable and Or; the badgers, facing Dexter and Sinister, are outlined by the field; and the whole is finished with a raised-stroke effect.
This imaginary coat of arms of the Hufflepuff House at Hogwarts has been interpreted without taking much into account other of the multiple realizations that have been produced and disseminated.

Escudo cortado: 1o de azur, una lechuza al estilo ateniense, contornada de plata, en jefe; 2o de plata, un roble de azur, arrancado, en punta; brochante sobre el todo un sotuer del uno al otro.
Existing coat of arms which I have interpreted in the following way: the semicircular (round) base; the fields enameled in Azur color and Argent metal flat; the saltire reduced to 2/3 of its traditional width, that is, to 2/9 of the width of the shield, to leave more space for the figures, but without becoming a flanque of 1/9 of the width of the shield; the figures illuminated in Argent and Azure and outlined in the field; and with a watercolor finish.
For the tree, in this case an oak with its acorns and sinuous-edged leaves, whose roots are visible, I use the term arrancado following [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 28 and figure 12] when blazoning Vernade in France which says that «trae de gules, y un Árbol arrancado de oro, acostado de dos Estrellas de lo mismo».
In English, the equivalent term for arrancado is «eradicated», from the French «arraché».

Norsk Heraldisk Forening, in English, Nordic Heraldry Society, was founded on February 27, 1969, at the National Archives in Oslo, with the aim of promoting the study and knowledge of heraldry through meetings, lectures, excursions, and other dissemination methods, and additionally, to become an advisory body to resolve issues in matters of heraldry, flags, personal coats of arms, etc. Its first president was Dr. Philos Herman L. Løvenskiold.
Since then, these have remained the objectives of the Norsk Heraldisk Forening, and its membership count has remained between 150 and 200 members, and it cooperates with the Nordic Heraldry Society, «Societas Heraldica Scandinavica».
The website's address is Heraldikk.no, its content is available in both Norwegian and English, and they work systematically to expand it and provide greater and better information to both its members and those interested in heraldry.
Alex Maxwell Findlater described it in English, including its crest, in an article that was on their previous website under the title «About the society», as follows: «Gules issuant from base two battle-axes addorsed Argent shafted Or overall at the nombril point an escutcheon Or; for Crest between two axes of the arms a panache of three peacock feathers proper; Mantling Gules doubled Or». But given that «shafted» applies to weapons with a shaft and «hafted» to weapons with a handle, in the case of axes, I use «hafted» although both terms correspond to the Spanish «fustado».
Note how the axes are described as battle-axes, just as in the blazon of the Norwegian coat of arms, where its lion holds a battle-axe.
Coat of arms I attempted to interpret in the Norwegian style, all in flat tinctures, without Sable outlines, lighting or shading, and only with a simple rough finish.

Argent, a cross patty Gules, cantoned of four mullets of eight points Azure; on a chief Sable, an elephant passant Or. Motto: «Prior tempore potior iure»
Escudo de plata, una estrecha patada de gules, cantonada de cuatro estrellas de ocho puntas de azur; en un jefe de sable, un elefante pasante de oro. Lema: «Prior tempore potior iure»
Coat of arms of the RIAG interpreted as follows: with a semicircular (round) base; the field in plain Argent enamel; the chief illuminated in Sable with its elephant illuminated in the same Sable; the narrow cross outlined in Sable and illuminated in Gules; the 4 stars outlined in Sable and illuminated in Azure; the motto illuminated in Argent, outlined and written in Sable; and the whole executed in parchment.
[Avilés, J.; 1780a; página 277] simply calls «estrecha» the narrow cross and defines it as «una Cruz disminuida de la mitad de su anchura regular, y su forma es la de la figura ordinaria», that is, if the cross width is 1/3 of the shield base width, the narrow cross width is 1/6 of the shield base width. He also recounts that the origin of the narrow cross is attributed to Mathieu de Montmoranci who «mudando la Cruz blanca, y quatro Aguiletas, que traían sus predecesores, en la Cruz roxa con diez y seis, se llamó Cruz estrecha por algunos, porque habiendo de dar lugar á las diez y seis Aguiletas, fué preciso estrechar la Cruz; pues de lo contrario no habría bastante capacidad para las otras figuras, y por eso le quedó este nombre». The width I have used in this interpretation of the coat of arms of Registro Internacional de Armas Gentilicias is slightly less than 1/6 of the shield to balance its widening at the ends as it is a narrow patty cross.

This tartan has more black and yellow because these are the color Sable-black and metal Or-yellow of my coat of arms. Also, it has the other two colors Gules-red and Azure-blue, and one metal Argent-grey of my crest.
Over the black background, its main visual structure is a thin red line, a thick yellow line, and a thin red line because of the flag of Spain.
It is mostly symmetrical tartan because I am a heraldic artist and I love the symmetry and geometry. But there is a bit of asymmetry, two thin lines grey and blue, to break the uniformity.
It is based in the 5 first terms (1, 2, 3, 5, 8) of the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34...). This sequence is intimately connected with the golden ratio, 1.61803... that I use frequently in my designs. But for the thread count, I multiple the Fibonacci sequence by 6 to obtain more than 5 inches, then I use the numbers 6=(1x6), 12=(2x6), 18=(3x6), 30=(5x6), and 48=(8x6).

Sable, a lion rampant Or, armed and langued Gules, crowned Or, holding in the dexter a baton flory Or.
Escudo de sable, un león rampante de oro, armado y lampasado de gules, coronado de oro, teniendo en su diestra un cetro flordelisado de oro.
I interpret its coat of arms with: a Spanish base in semicircular (round) form; the field illuminated in Sable; the lion, its crown and its baton outlined of the field, shaded and illuminated in Or, except the claws and tongue which are Gules; and the whole with a lightly beaten metal finish.
The baton ends in a fleur-de-lis, hence it is blazoned as «flory» and according to [Avilés, J.; 1780a; página 93] «flordelisadas, se dice de las Cruces, cuyos brazos se terminan en flores de Lis».
For a time I distinguished between «flordelisadas» and «florenzadas» crosses depending on the artistic style of the termination, but over time I found that the difference was, precisely, more artistic than heraldic, so I decided to use the term flordelisada in a general way.
Some authors consider them different terms and others equivalent. If they are considered equivalent then florenzadas ~ flordelisadas and, therefore, «cetro florenzado» ~ «cetro flordelisado». In English one says «flory» ~ «flordelisado» and it can also be found written as «fleury» ~ «floretty» ~ «florenté», for example, [The Heraldry Society; 2013; página 6] uses the term «flory» to describe the very arms of The Heraldry Society when it blazons them as «Quarterly Azure and Gules a Lion's Face crowned with an Ancient Crown Or within a Tressure flory on the outer edge of the same».

Or, on a bend Sable, a spear of the first, steeled Argent.
Escudo de oro, una banda de sable, cargada de una lanza de plata, fustada oro.
Coat of arms interpreted by me with: a semicircular (round) base; the field and bend illuminated in Or and Sable; the lance is a tournament one, similar to other Shakespeare coats of arms, which I have illuminated in Argent and Or and outlined from the field; and finished with a lightly hammered metal effect.
In this version of his blazon in English I have written «steeled Argent», which is how some authors write it, while in another article I have specified it as «headed Argent».
In the figure that is charged upon the bend of this interpretation of the shield, I recreate a tournament lance, which is the type usually used to represent the arms of William Shakespeare. Note that the blazon of his shield only indicates «a Spear» ~ «una lanza», so it could equally be the type of lance used by infantry or light cavalry. However, English tradition usually employs, for William Shakespeare, a tournament lance, both for the one charged on the bend and for the one held by the falcon on his crest.
