Flags

The Scottish flag is the Cross of St Andrew.

There are 3 bears and 1 eagle on the Missouri state flag.

For those who don’t know what an American flag without the stars means you have to ask someone whose been in the military. The simple answer is surrender. American flag without the stars tells your enemy that further aggression on their part will mean total annihilation, complete destruction or obliteration, If your the enemy and you choose to surrender you be treated well.

The "Stars & Stripes" In the top left corner, there are 50 white stars representing the 50 states in the union contained in a navy blue square (which is the color of the union). On the rest of the flag, there are 13 horizontal alternating red and white stripes (beginning with red and ending with red) which represent the original 13 colonies originally under British Rule before the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War. These include Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.

It means to get someone's attention because help is needed.

A blue colour

I found the following answer on this web site http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/MASINT Cross-cueing is the passing of detection, geolocation and targeting information to another sensor without human intervention.[26]. In a system of sensors, each sensor must understand which other sensors complement it. Typically, some sensors are sensitive (i.e., with a low incidence of false negatives) while others have a low incidence of false positives. A fast sensitive sensor that covers a large area, such as SIGINT or acoustic, can pass coordinates of a target of interest to a sensitive narrowband RF spectrum analyzer for ELINT or a hyperspectral electro-optical sensor. Putting sensitive and selective, or otherwise complementary sensors, into the same reconnaissance or surveillance system enhances the capabilities of the entire system, as in the Rocket Launch Spotter. When combining sensors, however, even a quite coarse sensor of one type can cause a huge increase in the value of another, more fine-grained sensor. For example, a highly precise visible-light camera can create an accurate representation of a tree and its foliage. A coarse spectral analyzer in the visible light spectrum, however, can reveal that the green leaves are painted plastic, and the "tree" is camouflaging something else. Once the fact of camouflage is determined, a next step might be to use imaging radar or some other sensing system that will not be confused by the paint. Cueing, however, is a step before automatic target recognition, which requires both extensive signature libraries and reliable matching to it.

Only time I have got white bruises was when we played dodge ball and the ball would snap against your skin really hard

Possibly a hard fall?

The first Philippine flag was sewn by Marcela Marino de Agoncillo with the help of her daughter Lorenza Agoncillo and Delfina Herbosa de Natividad.

There is no Southern Colony flag.

In 1971, the wife of a downed & missing pilot in Vietnam, Mrs. Michael Huff, a member of the National League of Families, requested a flag maker to design a flag for the US Servicemen missing & prisoner of war in Southeast Asia. The purpose of the flag, was to remind people that their freedom to live and enjoy life, was being purchased by those who served, and the men that were prisoners of war & missing in action in Vietnam should never be forgotten. The designer of the flag utilized the techniques of the advertising business's of the day; using black and white colors for the project. Once the design was accepted, then the artist would add the colors. When the black & white proto-type was shown to the National League of Families, it was accepted AS IS. The original POW flag was simply black & white.

The Five Rings on the Olympic Flag The rings on the Olympic flag represent the five continents of the world that have come together in the Olympic spirit. Every country in the world has at least one of the colors of the rings in their flag, blue, black and red (top colors) ･ yellow, green (bottom colors).

The five continents they count are North America, South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. They do not include Australia, or Antarctica.

Denmark and Switzerland; they are of two different designs

The Danish cross is the same as used in the flags of Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden all in different colours. It is basically a Latin Cross laying on its side.

The Swiss flag I believe is square with equal sided white (Greek) cross in the middle. The reverse of the Swiss flag is used by the Red Cross.

This will all depend on which flag is flying alongside or below the American flag.

If being flown with flags of other nations, they should all be raised to the same height and are never to be flown on the same pole.

If being flown with a state, city or organizational flag, the US flag will fly above the other flag in a larger size. On most standard sized flagpoles, the American flag will be a 3'x5' flag and the other flag will be a 2'x3' flag.

If the US flag is flying along a different flag on separate flagpoles, the flags can be of equal height but the US flag will then need to fly on the extreme left of the other flags. This left side is known to be a prominent flag. When flown with flagpoles displaying non-national flags, the American flag will be raised first and lowered last.

There is a link below.

Because of Hawaii's relationship with the British. The Hawaiian king originally flew the British Union flag on its own, but a group of advisor's recommended it be changed to include stripes to represent the islands he had united.

There are two types of diver down flags - the diver down flag and the alpha flag. The red diver down flag is used when divers are in the water to alert boats to the possibility of divers near the surface, and the blue alpha flag is flown by a boat whenever the mobility of the vessel is restricted.

See http://www.usflag.org/history/historicflags.html - according to this web site there was never an official US flag with stars in an X across it. The battle flag of the Confederacy had this form: see http://www.usflag.org/history/confederatestarsandbars.html Note at the latter web site, a disclaimer by patriots from the southern US, disavowing the use of such a flag by neonazis or other hate groups.

It is resurrection scene of Jesus. compare it with resurrection of Julius Caesar and you know.

There are 5 stars on the flag, one large gold star is arounded by 4 smaller stars. The large one represents the Communist Party of China, while the four small star represents the classes of the country.
There are 5 stars. One big star and 4 smaller stars to the right of it.

The red and white stripes on a racetrack are rumble strips. Rumble strips are for safety and help racers know when a curve is coming up on the track.

If the tattoo was obtained in youth in a non-racist highly populated area, probably freedom of expression. However, if the individual continues to wear it in adulthood after learning that the confederate flag is associated with racism against African Americans, or originates from an all-white community (especially in "Yankee territory"), that's an entirely different matter and the individual is more than likely racist. If initials are anywhere near the tattoo, this usually indicates a crime (for example, G.T.A. = Grand Theft Auto) the individual commited to get into the racist organization or the initials of an African American they have assaulted/killed in order to be initiated. The confederate flag is affiliated with the confederacy, when the Unites States was active in slavery. Similar to the swastika in Germany, the swastika represents a time when Germany was very powerful politically, but the ugly side to it was the Holocaust. This is why the swastika is offensive to Jewish individuals and the confederate flag is offensive to African Americans.

the French flag was officially adopted in February 1794.

Because there are fifty states in the USA.
