The Union Jack is made up of the Crosses of St. George (representing England), St. Andrew (Scotland), and St. Patrick (Northern Ireland). St. George's and St. Andrew's were ordered amalgamated by James I for use by His Majesty's subjects at sea in 1606, though the exact design was never fixed. St. Patrick's, a red saltire on white, was added and the design was finally standardized in 1801. Wales is a Principality and is therefore not represented on the flag.

If it is flying as a jack from a ship of the Royal Navy, it is properly termed the "Union Jack". In all uses *on land*, however, it is properly called the "Union Flag". Since the general public calls it "Union Jack" no matter where it is, that is how it will be termed in this FAQ list. A brief explanation: the "X" portion of the Union Jack is a combination of the Cross of St. Patrick (the red one) and the Cross of St. Andrew (the white one), plus a white fimbriation added on either side.

Jack did not make "Shelter". Jack and Ben Harper make brief long-boarding appearances from when they were playing the Byron Bay Blues Festival in Australia in March 2001. The 'Shelter' Crew was near the Byron Bay filming the movie, and since Jack and Ben were close by, they stopped by one day and caught some waves. Jack's manager Emmett Malloy, along with Taylor Steele, made the surf film "Shelter" in 2001. For more info go to http://www.shelter2001.com See similar questions...

a) Firstly the Aboriginal flag identifies the Aboriginal people and is its own identity. You would be replacing the flag of one nation in the place of honour (canton) for that of another nation. b) The Aboriginal flag is the only officially recognised national flag that is subject to copyright of one individual (Harold Thomas 1971) and not owned by the people it represents. Use of the flag in another design or a derivative of that design is a breach of copyright law. See similar questions...

The Palace is the Queen's personal residence and as such she may fly any flags she wishes. Up until now, the Palace has flown only the Royal Standard, and only then when the Queen is in residence. It was decided that the Palace (and the Queen's other residences, except for Windsor Castle, which is technically a British fort and thus flew the Union Jack already) would fly the Union Jack in order to express a greater measure of solidarity with the people of Britain.

The U.K. has three ensigns with roughly the same design. The Red Ensign was mentioned above. The Blue Ensign is the same design with a blue field, and the White Ensign is white with a red St. George's Cross and a Union Jack in the canton. Undefaced, the Red Ensign serves as the civil ensign, the Blue is the state ensign (but may be worn by civilian ships which meet certain criteria), and the White is the war ensign.

Get a stereo 1/4" jack for the input of your pedal. Connect the tip connector to the input of the effect. Connect the sleeve to the ground of your effect. Connect the 3rd connector (the ring) to the negative of the battery (or the positive if your pedal uses a reversed power supply such as the Tycobrahe Octavia or some Fuzz Faces).
