Turkmenistan Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

Just as the Black Sea is the counter to the Caspian Sea, nearly at right angles, there is also a twin for the Sea of Azov.  The geographic twin is the Mighty Black Sea, official known as the sea of Garabogazköl Aylagy.  Unlike the Sea of Azov, which is international, the Sea of Azov's twin is totally under the control of one nation: Turkmenistan.

Note there are two Turkey's of the Old World.  The one in the West is the more famous on the edge of the West Asia.  The other is on the East side of Europe.  Both are Turkish peoples.  The eastern Turks of Turkmenistan have maintained their 'Chinese' phenotype while the Western Turks have mingled to some degree with West and only have an echo of the 'Chinese' phenotype. 

You can also think of the Black Sea's of Garabogazköl is the Sea of Azov.  Funny thing, one translation for this Caspian's Sea of Azov (Sea of Garabogazköl ) is coincidentally the BLACK SEA.  But just to keep is straight its best to think of this sea as the Mighty Black Sea.  Yet the Mighty Black Sea is much smaller than the Black Sea that is connected to the Sea of Middle Earth. 

Turkmenistan Continguous Zone Flag

Likewise as the Caspian Sea is the twin to the Black Sea, the Caspian's Sea of Azov totally belongs to Turkmenistan.  Yet to have an official English language, it is called Garabogazkol, which can be though of the as the the Mighty Black Sea.

Tunisia Exclusive Economic Zone Flag

When taken in a direct 'wordish' translation, the Sea of Middle Earth, is the Mediterranean Sea.  Likewise many maps see this Sea of Middle Earth as a European Sea, by usually cutting off Africa and Asia.  Rather is a Sea of Unity between Asia, Africa and Europe.  Yes! Asia is a part of Mediterranean Sea culture!

Nonetheless Tunisia has certain amount of area reserved for her economic exploitation.  Such that, no other nation may fish, harness, or collect the natural resources of the area, unless permitted so by Tunisia.  Yet this part of the world is not a part of Tunisia, thus it is a weird kind of twilight area.

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.

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.
