The circle has been taken from "Ashok Stambh", a piller made by Emperor Ashoka.

In 1999, Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo started a program erecting giant flags across the country. Directed by the Secretariat of National Defense, the "banderas monumentales" (monumental flags) were placed in various cities and spots, most of which are of great significance to the nation. The decree also stipulated for the flags to measure 14.3 meters by 25 meters (47 x 82 feet), which are raised on flag poles that are 50 meters (164 feet) high.

Orange is the traditional colour associated with the House of Orange, the Royal Family of the Netherlands. The Dutch national flag in the past was orange-white-blue as well as red-white-blue.

Many countries do not base their sporting colours on their flag. Australia uses Green and Gold, for example, even though they are not its official flag colours. The German national soccer team usually play in white even though their flag is black, red and gold.

the is one star for each union on the flag

A flag at the top or highest point in a "Hoist" is superior, and the lowest one, that is closest to the deck, is inferior.

A hoist is a series of flags put up together that send a message to another vessel.

With an orange stripe on top, a White in the middle and a green one on the bottom. Also with a wheel shape in the middle, representing Asoka the Great, on of the kings of India. The symbol is called 'The chakra'

Forty-eight, in six rows of eight. Just like in WWI. Arizona became the 48th state in 1912; Alaska and Hawaii did not become the 49th and 50th states until 1959. However, because Alaska joined the US in January 1959 as the 49th state the 49 star flag became official on July 4th 1959. Hawaii joined the US in August 1959 as the 50th state and the new 50 star flag became official on July 4th 1960.

No. There are 50. One for each state in the union. There is a rumor circulating that other stars have been added for various US Territories, but those rumors are untrue.

Not on their flags, no. They wore a death's head skull as a collar insignia.

The 'skull and crossbones' is infact the insignia of the SS 'Totenkopf' or Death's Head division. This was one of the first divisions of the Waffen-SS to be established from the SS-VT. The Totenkopf division was responsible for, amongst other things, the running of the concentration camps

The Skull & Cross bones, called Totenkopf (Death Head) in German, is an old symbol dating back to the time of the German Empire under the Kaisers. The symbol was a badge of honor given to troops that particpated in the funeral ceremony of emperors. Later, during the Hitler period, the symbol was used by units considered "elite", i.e. the S.S.

There are some British tank units that had a similar collar device, but I do not know the history of how they came to be.

The armored forces (panzer units) also used the "totenkopf" collar device and were sometimes mistaken for S.S. troops when captured. SS units wore an eagle insigna on their left upper sleeve, while wehrmacht troops wore it on the breast.

The SS Divsion "Totenkopf" did have the skull & cross bones on their divisional flag.

The skull and crossbones go back to some Prussian guards cavalry units and became part of their official insignia in 1740 under Frederick the Great. One Prussian Hussar (light cavalry) regiment was dressed in black and had a tall hat with a complete skeleton insignia on it. I believe their motto was "Death before Dishonor"--same as the SS. Later in WW1, this Hussar unit wore a fur busby with a chapless skull & cross-bones.

The British 17th Lancer Regiment used the skull and cross-bones as their insignia and cap badge. This unit dates back to the "Charge of the Light Brigade" during the Crimean War. During WW2 this unit was an armored regiment. There have been many other units in other countries that adopted a skull as their insignia. During WW2, Italians had a unit called the Black Brigades or Brigate Nerre, that used an insignia of a skull with a dagger clenched in its teeth. There are many examples of skulls used in US Air Force and US Navy squadron patches during WW2 up to present day.

The German Panzer units wore a small chapless skull sitting on cross-bones mounted on a black collar tab with pink pipping. The SS Divsion "Totenkopf" wore the Skull on one collar lapel and the SS-runes on the other. But this was unique to this division as was the flag mentioned, above. The regular SS wore the skull(with a jaw) on their caps, under the eagle branch insignia.

I'd like to point out, since nobody seems to have done this yet, that the SS flag was black with two sig runes ('lightning bolts') in white spelling SS.

Tuxedo pants have a stripe along the side in either satin, which is a shiny weave of silk, or grosgrain, which is a ribbed weave of silk. (The material of the stripe matches the material on the jacket lapels.)

This stripe is sometimes referred to as "braid," whether or not it actually incorporates a braid.

If the flag was placed by Utiility personnel responding to a "One-call" locate request, the blue flag indicates a buried water line. You see these marked when a contractor calls the "Call before you dig number" a couple of days prior to excavating. This is required by law in each state to reduce the likelihood of damaging underground utilities when excavating. The standard color code used by almost all utility companies for painting & flags is: White - "Here is the area I plan on excavating!" Blue - water line Red -electicity Yellow -natural gas Green -sewer Orange -telephone and/or fiberoptic line If the blue flagging was a fuzzy blue marker nailed to the top of a wood surveyor's stake, then it probably serves to indicate the top of the grade at which the engineer wants the earthmoving equipment to place fill dirt. These are called "blue-top" stakes. edit: I was always taught that a "blue-top" was a stake that the surveyor did not want disturbed (as opposed to other temporary stakes that might be moved, taken out, destroyed by site activities). In fact, my surveying instructor joked that he always carried a blue-top with him when hiking. If he got lost, he'd pound it in to the ground and then wait a few minutes and follow out the heavy equipment that came in to knock down the blue-top stake.
