Hi Nacho,I`m Manuel Gonzalez Costa 2ºa from the I.E.S Xelmírez 2 abd this is my homework from the union jack. Flag of the United Kingdom
Name Union Flag or "Union Jack" Use Civil and state flag Proportion 1:2 Adopted 1st January 1801 Design A white-fimbriated symmetric red cross on a blue field with a white-fimbriated counterchanged saltire of red and white. Designed by Royal Navy[citation needed]
Use War flag Proportion 3:5 Design Same as above.
Use Civil ensign Proportion 1:2 Design A red field with the Union Flag in the canton. See Red ensign.
Use State ensign Proportion 1:2 Design A blue field with the Union Flag in the canton. See Blue ensign.
Use Naval ensign Proportion 1:2 Design A symmetric red cross on a white field with the Union Flag in the canton. See White ensign.
Proportion 1:2 Design A field of air force blue with the Union Flag in the canton and the RAF roundel in the middle of the fly. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland uses as its national flag the royal banner known as the Union Flag or, popularly, Union Jack.[1] The current design of the Union Flag dates from the union of Ireland and Great Britain in 1801. It consists of the red cross of Saint George (patron saint of England), edged in white, superimposed on the Cross of St Patrick (patron saint of Ireland), which are superimposed on the Saltire of Saint Andrew (patron saint of Scotland). Wales, however, is not represented in the Union Flag by Wales' patron saint, Saint David.
Its correct proportions are 1:2. However, the version officially used by the British Army modifies the proportions to 3:5, and additionally two of the red diagonals are cropped.
The Union Flag can be flown by any individual or organisation in England, Scotland or Wales on any day of their choice. Legal regulations restrict the use of the Union Flag on Government buildings in Northern Ireland. Long-standing restrictions on Government use of the flag elsewhere were abolished in July 2007.[2][3]
Upside-down
The Flag of the United Kingdom, the right way up, here viewed from behind. While the flag appears symmetric, the white lines above and below the diagonal red are different widths. On the side closest to the flagpole (or on the left when depicted on paper), the white lines above the diagonals are wider; on the side furthest from the flagpole (or on the right when depicted on paper), the converse is true. Thus, rotating the flag 180 degrees will have no change, but if mirrored the flag will be upside-down.
Placing the flag upside down is considered lèse majesté and is offensive to some,[4][5] However, it can be flown upside down as a distress signal. While this is rare, it was used by groups under siege during the Boer War and during campaigns in India in the late 18th century.
The Union Flag is vertically flown with obverse showing (i.e. it rotates 90 degrees and is not reversed - unlike the US flag, which is rotated and reversed so that the stars are kept in the top left corner).

] Flag Days (United Kingdom Government)
Until July 2007, the Union Flag was only flown on Government buildings on a limited number of special days each year. The choice of days was managed by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).[2] Government buildings are those used by civil servants, the Crown, or the armed forces. They were not applicable to private citizens, corporations, or local authorities.[2]
On 3 July 2007, the Justice Secretary Jack Straw laid a green paper before Parliament entitled The Governance of Britain.[3] Alongside a range of proposed changes to the constitutional arrangements of the UK was a specific announcement that there would be consultation on whether the rules on flag-flying on Government buildings should be relaxed.
Two days later, Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced that with immediate effect the Union Flag would fly from the flag pole above the front entrance of 10 Downing Street on every day of the year. The intention was to increase feelings of 'Britishness'. Other Government departments were asked to follow this lead, and all Government buildings in Whitehall did so
Scotland Yard however stated that they would follow the previous rules until they are formally abolished by DCMS.
James Purnell, the Culture Secretary has since concurred with the abolition of the restrictions – pending consultation on longer term arrangements.

Con Mikan, el nuevo entrenador John Kundla y una infusión de antiguos jugadores de la Universidad de Minnesota, los Lakers ganaron el campeonato en su primera temporada.
