Contiguous Zone Flag for Cyprus

Contiguous colours are applied to the national flag of Cyprus, conserving the spirit of Cyprus which given a clear signal as to whose region of the world one has entered. Although an international space, Cyprus has protected rights with regard to police and pursuit of suspected persons who should enter this area.  Notice that the olives are coloured orange and pop more clearly.

The Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

The Exclusive Economic Zone is strange twilight zone of the world that is part of all nations and connected to one.  In this case, the flag represents the EEZ international zone that has been given to Cyprus.  As with all EEZ flags with distinguished patterns a simple replacement of EEZ colours was used.  In this case the olives within the olive branches is more noticeable.

Lebanon Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

The Lebanon Exclusive Economic Zone flag is composed of EEZ colours which are black, white, and green. This flag is for the region of our planet that is reserved for economic activity under the leadership of Lebanon. No other nation may harness the bounty of Earth with out Lebanese permission, yet this region of the Earth is not a part of Lebanon.   However any nation is free to pass, unmolested.

Lebanon Contiguous Zone Flag

The Lebanon Contiguous Zone Flag is for the international region of Earth under the marshal forces of Lebanon.  Although not a part of Lebanon, this region is where Lebanese police forces reign supreme. The flag conserves the design of the official Lebanon flag but modified with Contiguous colours which are orange, black, and white.

Square Root of Two Day: January 12

Move over Pi Day!  We now have Square Root of 2 Day!  It is in January because of the whole number one.  And when you take 41% times the month of February, while taking leap year into account, it falls on the 12th day of the second month.

So here is a simplified version of the Square Root Flag to the 100ths place.  This flag is based upon the international maritime signals where a red disc represents 1 and a white cross on red represents a four.  It neatly echos the value of 1.41 when you stare at this flag.

Algeria Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

Although Algeria does not have oceanfront property, Algeria has seafront property in the Mediterranean Sea.  Consequently Algeria has an EEZ flag that indicates that Algeria has protected rights to utilize the bounty with a certain area of the Mediterranean Sea.

Algeria Contiguous Zone Flag

Algeria's Contiguous Zone flag retains the pattern of Algeria's flag.  However Contiguous Colours replace regular colours, except for white which is maintained.

Turkey Contiguous Zone Flag

Turkey's Contiguous Zone flag has a black background with an orange crescent moon and white star.  A simple substitution of Contiguous Zone colours allows Turkey to keep the basic pattern.

It is this international region of the cosmos that Turkey's police forces are enabled to operate with legal accord.

Turkey Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

Although Turkey does not have oceanfront property, she does have international seafront property along the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea.  Beyond Turkey's sovereign waters, an nicely sized Exclusive Economic Zone has provided Turkey with an extra bounty.

The EEZ flag of Turkey has a green background with a white moon and black star.  As Turkey's flag is memorable a simple substitution of EEZ colours is possible. 

Saudi Arabia Contiguous Zone Flag

The Contiguous Zone is a special region of the Earth.  All nations with coastlines have claim to international areas that grant them certain rights and privileges.  Contiguous Zone rights enable nations to marshal police forces within this international zone.  Although Saudi Arabia does not have direct oceanfront property, she does have a west coast and east coast that being the Persian Gulf and Red Sea. 

Since Saudi Arabia has a distinguished and recognizable pattern for their official flag, a simple substitution of Contiguous colours is possible that leaves little doubt whose area of the Earth this slice of heaven belongs to. 

Saudi Arabia Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

The exclusive ecomic zone flag of Saudi Arabia is ba see upon the flag of Saudi Arabia.  It represents the international area under ecomic control of this Kingdom.  Although not a part of Saudi Arabia, the bounty of the sea is under dominion of the Kingdom.

The colours are based upon upon EEZ colours which are black, green, and white.

Greek Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

The flag for Greece's Exclusive Economic Zone maintains the pattern of the Greek flag.  The difference is the change of colours to EEZ colours, that are black, green, and white. 

This flags indicates to all persons that this area is under Greek economic rule for natural resources.  Although not a part of Greece, it is an international zone that any nation has permission to cross without Greek permission.

Georgia Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

Since Georgia has shoreline on the international level, this nation qualifies for an exclusive economic zone flag.  For this flag, the EEZ colours of green, black, and white are applied to the flag of Georgia.  Reason being, that the pattern already indicates a connection to Georgia and the colours show that this area of the Earth is under economic administration of Georgia.  Yet this is NOT a part of Georgia; however all nations have the rights to pass through these waters and must get permission from Georgia to fish in this area.

Georgia Republic Contiguous Zone Flag

Although Georgia is seemingly in the heart of the old world, she has a coastline along the black sea.  The coastline is along international waters shared by different nations.  Consequently a contiguous zone flag makers this area of the Earth under maritime rule of Georgia, yet is an international space. 

The contiguous colours of orange, white, and black are simply applied the unique and memorable designs of Georgia.

Greek Contiguous Zone Flag

The contiguous zone is special area that is partly international and part of another nation.  For the area that is tied to Greece, we have the Greek Contiguous Zone flag.  This flag retains the Greek flag design but alters the colours with contiguous that are orange, black, and white. 

It is the part of the Earth that Greece maritime police forces are active yet international ships are allowed passage.

Israel Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

The Israel Exclusive Economic Zone Flag is a twlight international zone that is under the economic shadow of a sovereign nation.  The economic rights like fishing, mining, and trade are under Israeli authority.  Yet, any ship may pass through these waters without Israeli permission.

Israel Continguous Zone Flag

The contiguous zone is the special international twilight zone where it partly belongs to the world and to another specific nation.  In this case these waters are tied to Israel which has protective dominion- and is allowed to marshall police force.  By international law continguous zones extend 12 nautical miles out to sea.  This coast is on an internal international sea, the Mediterranean Sea, on the west coast of Asia.  The contiguous colours of orange, black, and white are used. Since Israel has a unique pattern, its design is conserved, yet the colours are different.

Australian Commercial: Gathering of Gods Eating Lamb, Lamb Ad

An Aussie commercial has all the Gods dining together enjoying lamb.  The most vexillologically significant item is a person called Ron who is wearing naval type cap.  The insignia may be related to Scientology, the details can not be made out.  But the persons making this commercial did their homework, it probably is. We don't know for sure if it's supposed to be Ron Hubbard, for sure.

Here we have the powerful Hindu God Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati.  His body was made from clay by his mother Parvati, while the elephant head was chosen by his father Shiva.  Shiva was introduced to the West in Indiana Jones in the Temple of Doom, when Indy invokes Shiva near the end to save the day. Ganesha is wearing vexillological like garland, which is most likely jasmine flowers.

You can also see Jesus perform a reverse miracle.  This commercial is offensive to some yet a riot laugh to others.  You just have to see below, to believe it.  Perhaps the biggest error is Ganesha eating lamb, this is wrong since he is a vegetarian...oopsy and offensy.  Good thing Ganesha is such a compassionate God.  But Jesus just steals the show.





In the clip below is the scene where Indy invokes Shiva to activate the crystal rocks, which end up destroying the bad guy whose evil quest for power destroys himself.  Once again the prayers to a God end up saving the day while destroying the bad guy, as it was with original Indiana Jones.  Instead of the Ark of Judaism we have the Shiva Rocks that help our heroes.

US Flag in Professional Wrestling, G.L.O.W. and Hulk Hogan

Professional Wrestling is a sport and entertainment evenly mixed into one art form.  When compared to football and comic books, pro-wrestling is the proverbial middle path that combines the best of both worlds.

Being successful in any of these worlds be it the Professional Athletics, Wrestling Mania, or Comics takes heart, dedication, luck, and talent.  Yet some people scorn each world for different reasons.  All kingdoms have there own level of competition, heartache, truth, and glory.  Evey once and a while a gem of memory is captured in film or paper, that is bigger than itself for all to awe and respect.  Nonetheless, each form generates tons of cash for different reasons and can inspire those who take joy from such pleasures, creating a community and sense of family.  But like all pleasures too much, can ruin ones life.  Likewise there are many snobs who pride themselves on such trivial knowledge, with haughty self-importance turning each form into a virtual fundamentalist religion.  Yet there are others who enjoy and know how to spread their joy evenly. 

 So is Wrestling Mania the middle path between the imaginary comic book world and real life professional world?  This diagram would indicate that this is true.

 You can see the US flag on the post next to 'READ GLOW MAGAZINE' which was on the air from 1986 until 1990.  G.L.O.W. represented Gorgeous, Ladies, Of, Wrestling.  It was an all female troop of talented and athletic muses who punched themselves into 1980s pop culture.

The professional wrestling mania of women took on themes of idealized female icons.  One wrestler was Lady Godiva, who is sitting on a UK flag.  No she is not nude, but did wear a nude coloured body outfit, that was decorated with flowers.

Lunar Twilight 2017-2018

As 2018 starts a new cycle of rotation around our sun, an echo of 2017 still remains.  Since the current moon was created on December 19, 2017 its last light will end on January 17th.  Consequently when the Sun rests for the day the evenings in a spiritual sense revert back 2017.  Since the lunar cycle changes so much Lunar Twilight varies from New Year to New Year.

The Lunar Twilight Candlemast is composed of candles of a various length. All are supposed to be lit each evening.  The candles burn out in a specific order.  In the example above the shortest candle on left goes out first.  By January 17 the last candle is lit upon the first New Moon of 2018, the eve before the first Moon to be revealed in the next year.

This holiday is for all persons of any faith or ultimate reality.  It is not a ethnic exclusive holiday.  Nor is it overtly religious in nature, requiring certain prayers or procedures.  Yet it is a celebration of our understanding of astronomy and our celestial connection to the heavens. It represents added clemency for time, to fix things from yesteryear, to give mercy, say good bye, and appreciate the past.

Excalibur Banner 2017

The sword of Excalibur is an awesome tale from the Isle of Brtannia.  Excalibur is perhaps the most famous sword of Earth.

Council Rock High School Marching Band, London 1992

In 1991 the Council Rock Marching Band was invited to perform in London's New Year's Day Westminster's Parade.  In honor of that trip several students from the Original Council Rock (CR North) painted the school's iconic Rock with the UK, Union Jack.  It was a signal to the community that the band members were excited for their upcoming trip that included a performance at the Royal Albert Hall.

However tragedy struck the band when a member passed away, Megan Hughes.  Megan was a part of the color guard and carried the Pennsylvania state flag.  You can see her standing in between the US and UK flag.  The lighter blue flag is the UN flag.  Megan passed away from an aneurysm in the brain.  She was a lovely member of the band and was willing to talk to anyone in the band regardless of their social status.

The high school marching band director at the time was Paul Lineberry, originally from Tennessee.  Lineberry provided keen, solid, heartfelt leadership in this time of crisis.  And it can be said that 100% of the marching band loved this music teacher.  Lineberry was a positive influence on everyone he met.

Megan passed away in her sleep at Kensington Palace Hotel De Vere Gardens, London W8 5AF on December 31st 1991.  A welcome banner was created for the students returning from their London trip that took place from December 28, 1991 until January 4, 1992.  It was a bittersweet trip, that was a journey no one would forget.  As a reminder, these events unfolded in the afterglow and fall of the Soviet Union on Christmas Day 1991.  Coincidentally the bands final number was Russian Christmas by Alfred Reed.


Synchronicity of a trip 25 years later from 1992 unto 2017;  Buddy Holly watches over Megan and Whitney.

An Amorial Banner for Less Britain - Northern Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, and the Isle of Man

The United Kingdom is typically thought of a union of Scotland and England.   However there are other elements that often go overlooked to the outside world.  Geographically smaller ancient kingdoms also exist that have their own distinguished culture and language- that being of the Welsh, Manx, and Cornish.  Also, in away Northern Ireland is a unique part of the kingdom to itself.  Subsequently a Less Britain Armorial or UK Lite banner should be in good order.

The United Kingdom Lite flag is composed of four heraldic banners.  In the first quarter is the official arms for Northern Ireland, which is the red hand on the white six pointed star, with crown above.  In the second quarter is the arms, or rather legs, for the Isle of Man, with the three legged knight armour.  In the third quarter is the arms for Cornwall with fifteen discs arranged in bowling pin style on black.  Finally with arms of Wales is in the fourth quarter with the red dragon on green.

The nice thing about this flag is that geography is conserved to some extent, relative to each geographic entity: Cornwall is south of Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man is north of Wales, Isle of Man is north of Cornwall, and Wales is south and east of Northern Ireland.

Likewise the three points of Cornwall reflect the three legs of the Isle of Man.  Also the banners fit perfectly to conserve the white, to perfectly contrast the boarders of Wales and Northern Ireland.

So what to do with this flag?  Perhaps it could be put to good use as the consort flag of the reigning monarch, either male or female? 

Calicalicalifornia Republic Fun Flag

Here is the crazy California Centebear Republic Flag.  It's an gene spliced bear for the 22nd century, that can travel through time.

となり の トトロ - カリフォルニア フラグ - California Flag with the Totoro

In 1988 the Totoro was first captured on film in Japan in the movie となり の トトロ, which means the 'Nearby Totoro'.  In this flag the Totoro strikes a pose as the bear on the California State flag.

The Totoro species was apparently discovered in Totori Prefecture. But another legend states they came from the Red Wood forests of California, consequently the outsider-foreigner script of Katakana instead of Hiragana was chosen.  They can usually be seen only by children with active imaginations.  They live in forests and their favorite food is the acorn.  Something like a squirrel mixed with a rabbit and cat,トトロ  do not have canines, rather they have teeth like a humans with large molars.  They also have the ability to turn nearly invisible.  When humans get older they usually loose all ability to see a Totoro, even when Totoros make themselves visible.  トトロ  also have a certain level of seemingly magical abilities.  They are real life forest critters that protect large and old trees.

Totoros were "reintroduced" to North America back in Summer of 1997, soon afterwards they spread across the North American forests, before Disney claimed ownership of the newly native born North American トトロ.  To this day there is a big generational gap between older Americans above Generation X who have never seen or heard of a Totoro.  But most American children born in the late 1990s have probably glimpsed the elusive and nearly magical トトロ.

In KOKU-GO/Country-Speak (That's what Japanese Call their own language aka Sunsorsglish) =Nihongo= "Sun-source-glish"

石-GO /カントリー・スピークに=日本語=「日・ソース・glish」（これは、日本が独自の言語、別名Sunsorsglishを呼んでいるものです）

1988年にはトトロが最初に映画の中で、日本のフィルムに撮影したとなりのトトロ、意味「近所のトトロ」を。  このフラグではトトロがカリフォルニア州の旗のクマのようにポーズを打ちます。

トトロ種は明らかにトトリ県で発見されました。しかし、彼らはカリフォルニアのレッドウッドの森林から来た別の伝説の状態は、結果的にカタカナの代わりに、ひらがなのアウトサイダー・外国人スクリプトが選ばれました。彼らは通常、唯一のアクティブな想像力を持つ子どもが見ることができます。彼らは森に住んでいて、自分の好きな食べ物はドングリです。ウサギと猫と混合リスのような何か。  トトロ 犬歯を持っていない、むしろインクルードは、大臼歯を有するヒトのような歯を持っています。彼らはまた、ほとんど見えオンにする能力を持っています。人間が彼ら自身を見えるようにしても、トトロを参照するには、すべての能力を、彼らは通常、緩ん年を取るとき。  トトロ   も一見不思議な能力の一定のレベルを持っています。彼らは、大規模かつ古い木を保護する現実の森の生き物です。

Totorosは、ディズニーが生まれ、新たにネイティブ北米の所有権を主張する前にすぐにその後、彼らは、北アメリカの森林に広がる、バック1997年の夏に北米への「再導入」されたトをトロ。  この日に見られないか、トトロのことを聞いたことがないジェネレーションX上の古いアメリカ人の間には大きな世代ギャップがあります。しかし、1990年代後半に生まれた最もアメリカの子供たちは、おそらく、とらえどころのない、ほぼ魔法垣間見てきたトトロを。

ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE

Totoro Republic Flag, California Style

Totoro's can get as large as Grizzly Bear, yet are so much more friendly.  However you need to belive to see them, otherwise they'll be invisible.

Isle of Manx Cat Flag for the Isle of Man, UK

 The Isle of Manx Cat flag is for the Manx Cat, which originated on the Isle of Man.  The Isle of Man is famous for its tri-skeleton flag.  It seems only appropriate that its most famous native gets a flag of its very own.  The Manx Cat flag has sky-blue background and features a three legged tabby coloured cat. 

The Manx Cat is a cat with little or no tail like a bunny, but some do have tails indeed, see the video below. The three legged Isle of Manx Cat flag is based upon the three legged symbol for the Isle of Man, the official arms with legs (a would be coat of legs) is supported by a Peregrine falcon on the left and a Raven on the right.





 

Washington State Flag, North Polarized

Merry Christmas!

 A few modifications were made to the Washington State flag in honor of the Christmas holiday.  George Washington has put on a Santa hat and Santa suit.  The words Merry Christmas have been added.  The scenery is now night with fifty icons in the background.  It is unknown whether it is snow, stars, or reindeer dust, but there is definitely a pattern.  There are 13 larger white sparkles and 37 smaller sparkles.  Sometimes it's better not to know, as the mystery itself is the element of enchantment.

An Appeal To Christmas Heaven Flag

 

It's that time of the year again.  One of the US Revolutionary flags designed, before the official adoption of official thirteen striped flag national flag, included a design of a lone pine tree.  It had various forms, but it also makes a perfect Christmas Tree.

This flag has the word CHRISTMAS inserted into the familiar phrase of An Appeal To Heaven.  Likewise there are thirteen presents with thirteen balls on the tree.

Merry Christmas!

Wampa Republic Flag - California Style from Snow Monter Flag!

The Empire Strikes back starts with an intense moment with Hothian life.  In this case the bipedal 'Yeti' of Hoth is positioned on all fours for an ambush attack!

An Appeal to Heaven Hanukkah Flag

Happy Hanukkah!

Amazingly there are several versions of the pine tree on the revolutionary Appeal to Heaven flag.  Most of the pine trees readily make a good Christmas Tree, but there is one which is perfectly stemmed to mirror a Menorah.

 This lesser known pine is a proverbial 'Menorah Pine Tree' with nine stems, four on each side and one in the middle.  This is what some people call the mark of providence or synchronicty.


The Patriotic Menorah Tree oddly has it pines cut upwards. It is the perfect Holiday Hanukkah Tree for the history books.

Hoth Republic Flag - California Style

The flag for the Hoth Republic is based upon the California State flag.  There are a few changes. Instead of a bear we have a Tauntaun, likewise the red star has been replaced with a rebel alliance logo.

The planet Hoth appeared to the world in 1981 in the movie The Empire Strikes Back.

Star Warzified Taunton Flag, Massachusetts

Tauntauns are not real, but Taunton, Massachusetts is real, yet as real as any man made construct with labels as agreed by other like minds.  You can see the origins of the flag from long ago, when Empire was vast and spanned across all of known space.

Imperial-Colonial Taunton Flag of the Empire

Here is the Imperial-Colonial Tauntaun Flag for a place in far far in away in Galaxy from long ago.

Tauntaun with Taunton Flag from Schmempires Schmrikes Schback

Here is the Tauntaun with the Taunton Flag, a joke for flaggers and people who live in Massachusetts and like Star Wars!
