Racquetball
Racquetball (i Sverige även Racketboll) är en bollsport som spelas inomhus med strängad racket och ihålig gummiboll. Denna racketsport är likt squash utan nät mellan spelarna.
En racketbollbana påminner mycket om en squashbana med små skillnader på längd och bredd. Nu finns även så kallad europeisk racketboll där sporten spelas på en squashbana, enda skillnaden är då storleken och plåten som sitter längst fram på en squashbana.
Liksom i squash räknas banans väggar som spelbara ytor, men i racquetball gäller detsamma även taket.
Sporten sägs ha utvecklats i USA under 1950-talet ur så kallad paddleball, som lanserades på 1920-talet.

Flag of Iran.svg
Flag of Iran. The tricolor flag was introduced in 1906, but after the Islamic Revolution of 1979 the Arabic words 'Allahu akbar' ('God is great'), written in the Kufic script of the Qur'an and repeated 22 times, were added to the red and green strips where they border the white central strip and in the middle is the emblem of Iran (which is a stylized Persian alphabet of the Arabic word Allah ("God")).
The official ISIRI standard (translation at FotW) gives two slightly different methods of construction for the flag: a compass-and-straightedge construction used for File:Flag of Iran (official).svg, and a "simplified" construction sheet with rational numbers used for this file.

Flag of Jamaica.svg
Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
