The flag for the UK contiguous zone waters flag maintains the UK flag design yet the colours are altered into the standard black and orange pattern of the international contiguous zone flags.
It is in the special maritime area where British security forces and coast guards have full legal effect in this thin zone of international waters. These international waters are totally international, yet the UK maintains certain protected police and security rights above all nations.
Finally persons who happen to be born in this area can utilize this flag as a birthright.
The Canadian Contiguous Zone maritime flag uses the colours of black and orange on the national flag. It indicates that these waters are international but Canada can enforce security searches and other types of police measures on boats that happen to enter these twilight type of international waters.
The French Exclusive Economic Zone flag uses the set heraldic pattern of the international Exclusive Economic Zone flag. But only the colours white and green are used. The pattern of the national flag of France is conserved and repeated.
Switching the colours of the French flag with green or black would naturally confuse persons as to which flag it belongs to. France's colours and pattern are distinct when combined but her pattern is rather common place as many nations follow that vertical tri-bar pattern. But in this arrangement it can be more easily discerned that this flag is in some way connected to France.
Likewise French nationals born in the France's Exclusive Economic Zone can use this flag.
Exclusive Economic Zone flags typically conserve the pattern of the host nation, but if a nation should have a distinct flag then the application of EEZ colours is appropriate. Here we have he United Kingdom Exclusive Economic Zone flag.
The pattern denotes that this area is related to the United Kingdom. Although an free international passage is legal, matters of economic capacity are reserved for ships and boats flagged with a UK flag.
Likewise any British subject born in this area can use this flag as their sub-national born at sea flag.
The Canadian Exclusive Economic Zone, Maritime Area Flag uses the Exclusive Economic Zone colours: black, green and white. This flag is an indicator flag that although a ship is in international waters, the economic rights for the sea are totally under Canadian cotrol.
Since the Canadian flag has distinct recognizable pattern, thanks to the maple leaf the pattern is kept intact while the colours have shifted.
Finally this flag is for persons born in Exclusive Canadian Economic Zone. Persons who have Canadian parents can fly this flag and are Canadian citizens. However those without Canadian ancestry have a reservation to become Canadian citizens after a certain economic requirement is met.
The Price is Right is a trans-generational, trans-demographic show that any American of any colour, creed, or capacity can enjoy. Everyone shops! Gen X, Baby Boomers, Gen Y, Millennials, and the Greatest Generation have at one time or another put their 2 cents in and on this show that gave us a double dose of commercial fun. The timeless theme and sparkly colours have given this show a long life, that has prospered.
One of the most popular flags that has flown in the face of the public since 1972 are the unique golf flags found on the Price is Right. This game is called Hole in One... or Two, and special flags mark the putting point. Basically the person playing this game has to put in increasing price several house hold items. The more accurate the order, the closer to the hole a person gets to putt. Likewise the player gets two chances to putt.
The vexilloids in this game are made of either plastic or metal. The price of the product is hidden under a sheath, and revealed after the prices are placed. In the photo here the person correctly put the products in order and was able to putt at the line closest to the hole. She received a $500 dollar bonus, as indicated the golden bonus $500 flag.
Vexillology made a cameo in the film Frailty 2001, starring Matthew McConaughey and Bill Paxton. During a flashback scene the starred "WORD OF THE DAY" is "Vexillology." You can see it in the upper right hand corner. Although the movie has almost nothing to due with the study of flags, several flags do indeed make an appearance in this biblical thriller of sorts.
In the boys' bedroom a Houston Oilers football pennant hangs above one bed. The Oilers are an NFL team no more. When the Oilers moved to Tennessee they underwent a name and mascot change, to become the Tennessee Titans. You can also see a homemade pennant that the boys made on the post board.
Both lead movie stars are from Texas and exude that "Put-ter there" doing things my way, in that confident Texan Lawman strut. Bill Paxton was born 1955 in Ft. Worth, Texas while McConaughey was born 1969 in Ulvade, Texas.
