	Nautical terms and Phrses
		Striking the ensign was and is the universally recognized indication of surrender.
		In distinction to striking one's colors, hoisting a white flag, in itself, is not an indication of surrender.
		Numberless examples show the immense significance given to the ensign during naval engagements and that striking the colors was universally understood as an indication of surrender.

		Striking may be performed in your torch flame as well, preferably in a neutral to slightly oxidizing atmosphere.
		If this is a problem, you can strike differently colored pieces in separate firings of the kiln or, if you are using many different colors on a single piece, keep watching during the striking process and begin to cool the piece when you are satisfied with the effect.
		The darker colors are easier to strike in the torch flame, but on the other hand may become very dark if struck for a long period in the annealing oven.

	Striking the colors Information
		Striking the colors was and is the universally recognized indication of surrender.
		It was and is an offense to continue to fight after striking one's colors, and an offense to continue to fire on an enemy after he has struck his colors, unless he indicates by some other action, such as continuing to fire or seeking to escape, that he has not truly surrendered.
		What would be perfidy in the case of a warship is not in the case of a merchant ship: A merchant ship may strike its colors as a ruse de guerre in an attempt to escape capture, since it does not engage the enemy in combat.

		When you use color to organize, you give each level a sense of place and provide your visitors with the subtle cues that make the site easier to navigate.
		You might simply assign the same color to all the headlines in a particular section of your site, color-code the menu, or use a graphic element that changes color in each section.

		I've been reading International Law on the behavior of belligerent forces and the display of a ship's ensign during hostilities.
		It seems to me if the Israeli pilots actually believed they had found an Egyptian warship not showing her ensign the pilots were required to conclude she wasn't belligerent---and her slow speed of 5 knots evidence she wasn't attempting to escape---they should have held off attacking and awaited the arrival of the MTBs.
