November and Mayday - Internatoinal Maritime Flag Concordance

The flag for the Letter N and Emergency match up as conceptual congruent partners, within the naming framework of International Maritime Flag Signals.  Upon close inspection of their names, you should notice that both are named after months.  The letter N is called November, and the Emergency Pennant can be used as a Mayday symbol.  Seems like an odd connection, but this connection of concepts is apparent with all the International Maritime flags.  Previous examples on this blog include: Alpha-Delta, Foxtrot-Tango, Romeo-Juliet, Papa-Uncle, Charlie-Mike, Quebec-India, and Oscar-Victor. 

Fatefully both the N flag and Mayday flag have checker patterns.  November has blue checkers on a square or rectangular field, while Mayday-Emergency has red checkers on a pennant-triangular field.

Additionally, they are like opposites of the seasons.  November marks the heart of Fall and Mayday is within the heart of Spring.  November is 100% month of Fall, while May is 100% month of Spring, that is assuming you live in the Northern Hemisphere within a temperate climate.

Hotel and Unit - Internatoinal Maritime Flag Concordance

There is Romeo & Juliet, Tango & Foxtrot, Delta & Alpha.  Do you see the pattern with the names of the signal flags?  It like a yin and yang thing.  More done to earth examples would be: salt & pepper, ketchup & mustard, or peas & carrots.  Hotel matches up with Unit, officially.  However, off the record, people often like to use igloo to I.   

The letter H has had many names.  Initially in 1913 it was called Have, then Hypo from 1927, then How during WWII, and finally Hotel in 1957. The letter U initially called Unit in 1913, then Uncle during WWII, and finally Uniform in 1957.

Regardless of all the name changes, Hotels are made up of several Units.  Without the each Unit there is no Hotel.

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.
