Echo and X-Ray - International Maritime Signal Flag Concordance

The letter X and letter E, are called X-Ray and Echo.  In the modern day, Echo location and X-ray vision are important tools in science and military technologies.  When you take an X-ray picture, you are basically looking at an Echo of high frequency radiation.

The queer thing is that the names for the flags for Echo and X-Ray create a concordance, as a names of the flags pair up like salt n' pepper, Romeo n' Juliet.

Uniform Option - International Maritime Flag Concordance

There are times to be in Uniform and times to take in the Options.

But oddly the names of the International Maritime flags match up in a quirky way.  Uniform is name for U and Option was the name for O.  Option became Oscar in 1957, but it original name in 1913 was Oboe.  Option was the name for O for 30 years from 1927 until 1957.

U was first called Unit in 1913, but changed to Unit in 1927, then changed again to Uniform in 1957.  Maybe they will change U again?

Nonetheless, Uniform matches with Option, as options disturb a uniform process or structure.  Too many options leads can disrupt the power being in Uniform, be dress, attitude, look, or state of mind.

Five Night's at Freddy's Republic - A Fun California Flag

A video game that captures the feels of the 20-teens, or rather a game that enveloped the tweens of the 20-teens.  The big hits of the 20-teens include the Hungry Games and Minecraft.  Just for fun the 20-ohs were Harry Potter's Decade.  But the first generation born after 9/11 would get their first taste of anxiety and fear from a retro-90s look video game based upon a dystopian Chucky Cheese restaurant video game: Five Nights at Freddy's.

In the game you must monitor and keep an eye on frightening semi-sentient deadly animatronic robots gone haywire. So addictive like an interactive scary movie, when the youth of the 20-teens attains formal command of the movie making films, the lauded Five Night's at Freddy's movie will deliver an epic dose of nostalgia sometime in the 2030s.

The lead animatronic is Fazbar Freddy.  Since we have a bear, it makes a wonderful sub in for the California flag.

Also if you like jump scares and pattern puzzles, this is the game for you!

Bravo Love - International Flag Maritime Concordance

The names of the international flags match up in meaning, in a quirky kind of way.  The letter B flag matches with older letter L flag: Bravo and Love.  L is currently called Lima while Bravo used to be called Baker, but was originally called Boy.

Communication vets from WWI, WWII, and the Korean Wars may have referred to L as Love.  Thus there some troops were fighting and killing with Love, literally.  It was not until 1957 that Love lost out to Lima.  Likewise Baker lost out to Bravo in 57'.

 When people yell 'BRAVO' they are sending Love, to the performer.  Likewise to perform well you need to be Brave and full of passion or Love.  Bravo and Love are two words connected to each other.

The California Crystal Castle Republic Flag - Atari's 1983 Arcade Classic Meets Makes California History Today

Here we have another fun California flag that is based upon Atari's 1983 arcade classic Crystal Castle.  In this fairy tale like adventure, which has yet to make a Shrek appearance, you use a trackball "TARK-BALL" to move Bentley Bear across the screen to collect crystals.

Basically an evolved version of Pac-Man, instead of dots, crystals are the McGuffin.  Likewise a magic hat give you revenge power on the enemies for a limited time.  However you can jump, and get the centipede like gem eaters if they are in the process of eating the crystals.  The only thing it was missing was animated cut scenes of Bentley Bear fussing with the trees, bees, witches, and giant crystal eating centipedes.

Kilo and Tare - International Maritime Flag Concordance

The International Maritime names for K and T, match up, on another level.  In this case Kilo matches with T's maiden name: Tare.  Currently T is called Tango.  T changed from Tare to Tango in 1957 with a few of the other flags. Nearly all the international marine names changed names except for Mike and X-Ray.  The names for the letter M and X flag have been a constant since 1913.  All the other letters underwent modification at various times.  The first switch up was in 1927, then 1938, then during WWII.  Finally in 1957, during the birth of the space age with Sputnik, the names names of the flag letters have remained.

A peculiar aspect of the names of the international maritime flags is that they align in quirky way, two by two.  More obvious examples are Romeo & Juliet, Tango & Foxtrot, or Alpha & Delta.  In this case Kilo (modern K) matches up with Tare (Initial T).

If you didn't know many weights have a TARE button that resets a weight to zero while something is on it.  For example is you wanted to measure something like a liquid.  First you put the empty container on the scale.   Let's say the container weights 2 Kilos.  If you hit the TARE button it will go to zero, and then you can add the liquid to see how much it weighs.  The TARE button basically subtracts the out the containers weight, so you can get the weight of the substance in the container.



 

Golf & Sail - International Maritime Flag Concordance

The name of the maritime flags for G and S match up with Sail and Golf.  Anyone can learn to sail or play golf, but these sports are associated with the wealthy.  Two of the most elite social clubs of modern society are the Country Club and Yacht Club.

Most Country Clubs are connected to Golf Courses, while most Yacht Clubs have a private armada of sailing ships. Of course you don't have to sail or play golf to belong to either of these organizations.

Sail is no longer used as the call-name for the S-Flag.  Instead Sierra have become its preferred name.
