It was a breath of fresh air to have a breakfast which was not eggs, tortillas and black beans. I tucked into some street food barbecued chicken, seasoned noodles and refried beans. It was a hearty breakfast which set me up for the day ahead. I began my hike to the 7 alters through the town of Livingston, watching people go about their everyday routines, people were selling food, carrying baskets on their heads and darting around on motorcycles. I turned left onto the beach and walked through precariously built shacks which were restaurants and bars. After these stopped I walked on the sandy beach with the waves crashing against the shore next to me. Palm trees stood tall leaning over the sea. While this sounds romantic and scenic, sadly it was overcast with a serious problem. Livingston beach was carpeted in plastic rubbish. It was home to mouldy bottles, discarded shoes, old sandy toothbrushes and much much more. Not only were these inanimate objects present but also colourful specs of broken down plastic particulates were mixed in with the sand. It was heartbreaking to see.
Last year I attended a lecture by Emily Pen at the 'Explore' event in the Royal Geographical Society. Here Emily spoke about the perils of plastic in our oceans. I learnt how the accumulation of plastic disposal in the sea is a catastrophic global disaster, not just aesthetically to our shores but also biologically to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife. Plastic particulates which build up enter the ecosystem, being consumed by microorganisms, these are eaten by fish, which are eaten by larger predators such as birds. Plastic has been found in the guts of large animals causing their death (bio accumulation). This issue is also a concern for us, man kind. As I was eating a tasty bowl of sea food soup, I noticed stringy blue plastic attached to my food. It was horrific. When listening to Emily talk in London, I understood the problem. However, it was not until I walked the Livingston beach, that I truly fathomed the extremity, intensity and vastness of this detrimental phenomena.
I entered the seven alters with a heavy heart. Two hours of walking through plastic took its toll. The beach could have been so beautiful but instead it was littered with so much plastic. Lovely seashells littered entire areas and next to them piles of plastic rested. It made me contemplate other global issues of which there are so many. I have seen a handful on my journey – deforestation, pollution, poverty, political injustice and the unequal distribution of wealth – to mention a few. The list of course goes on. How could these all be combatted? And where should one start?
The other evening I was speaking to an old man about my time in Montana with the forest service. He claimed the world to have been destroyed by previous generations and that our current young generation were doing great things to fix it. He gave me hope. It was true, there are charities, governmental agencies and people striving towards environmental stability and restoration. With advances in technology there could be a break through. Emily Pen certain showed this with her successful ocean clean up projects for the Pacific Islands (definitely worth checking out online) .
Visiting the seven alters gave me further inspiration. As I walked through the lush, dark green, shaded jungle admiring the grand, intertwining, impressive trees bordering the clear river I remembered how beautiful our planet is. I balanced on stepping stones trying not to get my feet wet and wandered up stream. I saw several beautiful, blue lakes which were absolutely magical. I found a plunge pool and had it all to myself. I had a quick dip in the cool, refreshing, beautiful water. Then I beat on the edge listening to the water trickle, birds sing and trees rustle. Not another sole was insight. This pristine place was incredible and more importantly it existed. Consequently, we must protect these natural wonders which are apparent and restore others which have been damaged by us.
The walk back to the hostel was just as devastating as the walk to the seven alters. The plastic overwhelmed me yet again, never before had I seen anything like it. As I walked I saw a huge pig playing in the plastic. Other domestic animals were chilling on the sand. It was surreal. Several stray dogs roamed around, one looked as if it had rabies. I quickly walked on reaching the hostel, ready for a relax and contemplation in the hammock.
I spoke to the host owner about the plastic and learnt that it is carried there from Guatemala city in the ocean current. It seemed that Livingston had to pay the price for other people's mess. This seems a problem that resonates with many global issues. People suffer for others unlawful actions. It is so unjust. The owner spoke to me about how he hired some volunteers to clean up the beach. However, it made little difference as the mess still washed in the next day, so he shortly stopped. It seemed that the source needed to be tackled – Guatemala city. Would a better education, rubbish disposal and a weakness help this? I was tempted to email my couch surfing friend to talk to his uncle – the new vice president of Guatemala but instead I emailed Emily pen to see if she had any good advice.
For now I am in Honduras, I have left behind Guatemala – a country with so many problems but at the same time so much beauty. While, the political and societal injustices broke my heart, I did fall in love with Guatemala – a country with friendly, hospitable people, tasty food, natural wonders, interesting history and 22 different Mayan languages. I learnt so much in Guatemala about different ways of living, local history and different cultures. I will miss Guatemala but am ready to explore the next place.

Consumption of hard coal decreased by 19 per cent from January to June
According to Statistics Finland's preliminary data, the consumption of hard coal decreased by 19 per cent from January to June 2019 compared with the corresponding period of last year. The consumption of hard coal as a fuel in the generation of electricity and heat amounted to 1.4 million tonnes, which corresponded to 39 petajoules in energy content. In January to June 39 per cent less hard coal was consumed than on average during this millennium.
Consumption of hard coal, 1,000 tonnes
Compared with the average for the last five years, 15 per cent less hard coal was consumed in the first six months of 2019. Compared with one year ago, the consumption of hard coal contracted most in March, by 34 per cent.
Hard coal consumption in Finland typically fluctuates seasonally. Some of the fluctuation is explained by the natural variation in the need for electricity and heat between the summer and winter seasons. The difference between statistical reference years is explained by variations in the demand for heating energy and the Nordic water situation, which particularly influences the electricity exchange price and thus the demand for separate production of electricity as well. Therefore, long-term consumption development cannot be deducted from the change in hard coal consumption in successive years.
At the end of June, the stocks of hard coal amounted to 1.6 million tonnes. Compared with one year back, the stocks were eight per cent lower.

Q: 'UpdateQuery' object has no attribute 'get_field' error Is there something wrong with my code below? The intent is that when the user updates a venue the all events that are linked to the venue are marked as modified. The error that I'm getting is

"'UpdateQuery' object has no attribute 'get_field' error".

What is really strange is that I believe that the code was tested and working a month ago and it suddenly stopped working.
My code:
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
   super(Venue, self).save(*args, **kwargs)  # Call the "real" save() method.
   Event.objects.all().filter(venue=self).update(modified=timezone.now())

This error is thrown in subqueries.py:
def add_update_values(self, values):
     """
     Convert a dictionary of field name to value mappings into an update
     query. This is the entry point for the public update() method on
     querysets.
     """
     values_seq = []
     for name, val in six.iteritems(values):
        field = self.get_field(name)

A: I kept getting the above error, but this workaround to manually iterate the related fields and call save for each one worked. In this case the modified attribute was autoupdated so just calling save was all I needed. By the same token I could change any field I want and then call save and it should worked too. (This is not ideal, but it solved my issue)
related_events = Event.objects.filter(venue=self)
        for event in related_events:  # Trigger an update on related events. This will bump the modified timestamp
            # Modify the event here
            event.save()

A: I am not sure this is copy error or not, this
  Event.objects.all().filter(venue=self).update(modified=timezone.now())

as you are filtering any field, this should be like this
  Event.objects.filter(venue=self).update(modified=timezone.now())

or this should be like this
 Event.objects.all().update(modified=timezone.now())

.all() and .filter  should not be compatible. Though i don't know about it.

A new Hezbollah computer game, "Special Force 2" is based on last year's 34-day conflict between the Lebanese Hezbollah group and Israel.
It was launched yesterday at a special exhibit south of Beirut by Hezbollah legislator Hussein Haj Hassan.
"It is not only a game, it is an education and culture and it is part of the confrontation because the American and the Western companies created games featuring us as "terrorists" and it is widespread on the market. This achievement is an addition to the tools of resistance and confrontation," said Hassan.
"This game presents the culture of the resistance to children: that occupation must be resisted and that land and the nation must be guarded," Hezbollah media official Sheikh Ali Daher said.
"The game has high tech and three dimensional technology. It explains the operations that took place during the battles in the last July war,'' said Mahmoud Rayya a Hezbollah IT engineer.
Hezbollah takes huge pride in its military performance in the war, which killed 158 Israelis, mainly soldiers. And Israel killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians in Lebanon.
"Through this game the child can build an idea of some of ... the most prominent battles and the idea that this enemy can be defeated," Daher said.
Retailing at around $10 (£5) in Lebanon and produced by volunteers, Hezbollah is expecting strong demand for the game at home and abroad. Hundreds of copies have been reserved in advance in Lebanon.
The 3-D game forces players to think and use their resources wisely, reflecting the way Hezbollah fights, Daher said.
"The features which are the secret of resistance's victory in the south, have moved to this game so that the child can understand that fighting the enemy does not only require the gun.
"Special Force" was the first video game to be launched by the group in 2003, three years after Israel withdrew its troops from Lebanon, ending an 18-year occupation of southern Lebanon after a guerrilla war of attrition.
Its creators at the time said they relied on maps, films and other material from the group's media archives to make its graphics true-to-life. They said the aim is "to counter the invasion of Arab markets by foreign games".
The new game, like the first, can be played in Arabic, English and Farsi.


Saturday, we said goodbye to Rome and made our way to Tuscany. After a few wrong turns in our rental car, we found our hotel, the Villa de Piazzano, near the town of Cortona. The villa is wonderful and we have met many friendly tourists—mostly Americans, and, interestingly, mostly southerners (two couples from Virginia, one from South Carolina, one from Tennessee and another from North Carolina). The villa has a restaurant, overseen by Chef Gabrielle. In celebration of my birthday, we had a cooking class with her that is the highlight of our trip to this point. Gabrielle told us that cooking is her passion and it shows in her cooking lessons. Delighted that they shared the same name, she ordained Gabriel as her special helper.
We started in the garden, where we picked fresh lettuce, oregano, sage, basil and other spices and vegetables to be used in our lesson. From there we proceeded to Gabrielle's kitchen, where we had a hands-on Tuscan cooking lesson. We cooked a five-course meal consisting of bruschetta with tomatoes and basil, ricotta-stuffed eggplant, handmade from scratch ravioli with a gorgonzola stuffing (I see a pasta making machine in my future), ginger honey pork tenderloin and finally a strawberry tiramisu. While the food was wonderful, it was Gabrielle's manner that made the lesson an experience to remember. We were her only three students today (she never has more than 6 students for a lesson) and she gave us her absolute attention as teacher and hostess. All of us participated in the preparation. At the end of the class, she gave us a memento and the recipes we cooked today. We will be trying them out on some of you when we get home. What a wonderful birthday celebration!
Food that not only looks good but is alsso beautiful. Your patio will be turned into an outdoor diner! What a great idea for a day of your trip! We think of you every day and surmise where you might be.
Tom, I believe that a pasta maker AND an herb garden will soon to be a part of the household. Hiller, I love how you are giving a "Julia Childs" kinda of wave in the picture! Gabe, you look very handy with a knife! Cheers!
Happy Birthday Tom! What a fantastic and memorable way to spend your birthday. Yes, you and Gabriel please try out your new culinary skills on us when you get home.

Samu () ist traditionell die Mitwirkung an der körperlichen Arbeit, die zur Aufrechterhaltung des Zen-Klosters notwendig ist. Der Überlieferung nach wurde dies von Baizhang Huaihai betont, dem die Aufstellung eines frühen Regelwerks für die klösterliche Disziplin des Chan (chinesisches Zen) zugeschrieben wird, die Reinen Regeln von Baizhang. Da die Zen-Mönche Landwirtschaft betrieben, half ihnen dies, die Große chinesische Anti-Buddhistische Verfolgung besser zu überstehen als andere Klöster, die mehr auf Spenden angewiesen waren. Diese Regeln werden auch heute noch in vielen Zen-Klöstern angewendet. Aus diesem Text stammt der bekannte Spruch "Ein Tag ohne Arbeit ist ein Tag ohne Essen" (一日不做一日不食 "Ein Tag nicht arbeiten, ein Tag nicht essen").

Samu ist im Zen-Buddhismus die Bezeichnung für das meditative Arbeiten das ebenso zum vollkommenen Gewahrsein führen kann wie die Übung des Zazen.

Körperliche Arbeit wie Kochen und Gemüseschneiden in der Küche, Putzen (sōji 掃除) und Gartenarbeit sind im Zen eine Erweiterung der Meditationspraxis. In der Sōtō-Tradition (曹洞宗) gibt es das Ideal des "shikantaza" (只管打坐), eine Sitzmeditation (Zazen) ohne Zielstreben. Es geht nicht darum, Erleuchtung (satori) zu erlangen, denn das "absichtlose Sitzen" an sich ist bereits alles, was es braucht. Dementsprechend gibt es auch das "shikan-samu" (只管作務), eine Arbeit, bei der es nicht wie im Arbeitsleben um Effizienz und Leistung geht, sondern darum dass Arbeit und Arbeitender eins sind.

Viele Zen-Geschichten berichten über die Verwirklichung von Wesensschau (kensho) oder satori beim Gemüseschälen in der Küche oder beim Fegen des Hofes. Im modernen Buddhismus wird bei Sesshins Samu auch von Laien häufig geübt, um später das Einüben von Zen im Alltag zu erleichtern. Bei diesen Arbeiten ist das Wie entscheidend, nicht das Resultat oder die Zeit, in der die Arbeit vollzogen wurde. Samu wird in der Regel ein bis zwei Stunden täglich als Ergänzung zum Zazen durchgeführt. Die Hingabe zeigt sich darin, dass der Übende jede ihm zugeteilte Arbeit mit großer Achtsamkeit ausführt.

7 Bollywood films that give you a virtual tour of Pune, on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video
By Deepali Singh 13 October 2020
The combination of culture and modernity of the city has been irresistible for filmmakers
Just a few hours' drive away from Mumbai, lies Pune—the cultural capital of the Marathas. The second-largest city of Maharashtra is also home to several educational institutions, earning it the 'Oxford of the East' moniker. Filmmakers have always been attracted to its historical monuments, the old residential buildings known as 'wadas', and the grand architecture of its campuses. In 2006, the cast and crew of the Hollywood film A Mighty Heart, starring Angelina Jolie, set base in Pune to shoot the majority of the film. The destination served as Karachi in the Michael Winterbottom-directorial, based on the search for kidnapped Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Bollywood, too, has sought out the city for many of its capers. For a virtual tour, get set to stream these Hindi movies.
Aiyyaa (2012)
Maharashtrian girl Meenakshi Deshpande (Rani Mukerji) lives in a dream world of her own and strangely attracted by his fragrance, falls in love with Surya (Prithviraj Sukumaran), a Tamil artist. Director Sachin Kundalkar, who hails from Pune, takes the viewers on a tour of the city with locations ranging from Mandai, Sambhaji Bridge, Rastapeth and Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics.
Streaming on Netflix
Andhadhun (2018)
Sriram Raghavan's critically-acclaimed black comedy about a blind pianist who gets embroiled in the murder of a former film star was shot almost entirely in the neighbourhoods of Pune. Locals would easily be able to spot popular places such as the Shisha Jazz Café, Magarpatta and Koregaon Park. The scene where Tabu gets kidnapped was shot at the Khadki underpass.
Munna Bhai MBBS (2003)
Starring Sanjay Dutt as Murli Prasad Sharma, a loveable goon who secures admission in a medical college, this Rajkumar Hirani directorial revived Dutt's career and won several awards. The medical college scenes were shot inside the grand classrooms and halls of the Agriculture College of Pune.
Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009)
Good-for-nothing Prem (Ranbir Kapoor) falls in love with Catholic girl Jenny (Katrina Kaif) in this romcom that also saw Salman Khan in a memorable cameo. While most of the film has been shot in Ooty, other locations include shots of Magarpatta area and the popular 11 East Street Café in Pune.
Streaming on Amazon Prime Video
Dangal (2016)
The real-life story of Mahavir Singh Phogat (Aamir Khan), who trained his daughters Geeta Phogat (Fatima Sana Shaikh) and Babita Kumari (Sanya Malhotra) to become wrestling champions, won hearts all over. Most of the film was shot in Punjab, but Pune also featured prominently when Geeta goes to train for the Commonwealth Games. Few of the locations include Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex and the Symbiosis International University.
One of the highest-grossing films of the year, this Salman Khan- and Kareena Kapoor Khan-starrer broke many records upon its release. Lovely (Khan) is appointed as Divya's (Kapoor Khan) bodyguard and many misunderstandings later, the couple are reunited in love. Divya is a college student and the campus scenes were shot at the Symbiosis International University in Pune.
Dhol (2007)
This comedy thriller about four guys who want to become rich without working hard for it was a box office success when it released. The boys' capers took them to various locations in Pune, including Koregaon Park, The Corinthians Resort and Club and the SGS Mall.

Q: Is there a way to write a script to do ftp login so I don't have to type things over and over again? I am recently working extensively with a remote system via ftp connection, since the session time is so short that I have to re-login quite often when I finish my work on my local machine, so I need a way to create a custom command/shell script to login to the ftp server with just one word, but the question is how to do it.
e.g.
~$ ftp domainname.com
 ...
 Name (domainname.com): MyName
 ...
 Password: xxxx
 ...
 ftp>

A: If you want to script out the whole thing:
#!/bin/sh
HOST='ftp.example.com'
USER='yourid'
PASSWD='yourpw'
FILE='file.txt'

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
put $FILE
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0

See also this web page.

A: If you want to automatically log in, you can use a .netrc file. I would NOT recommend this as you would have to store your username and password in plain text which is unsecure. If you can use ssh, then I'd recommend using that with authentication keys to automatically log you in.
If you cannot use a secure method such as ssh with keys, you can configure your ftp information by following this guide.

A: Usually, ftp command line clients support the configuration file ~/.netrc where you can configure credentials for remote systems, e.g.:
machine legacy.system.example.org
login juser
password keins

When you ftp legacy.system.example.org then you don't have to retype this information anymore.
If you need to do more automation, you can script ftp via piping commands into it, e.g.:
$ cat pushit.sh
# complex logic to set
# EXAMPLE_FILE=
ftp <<EOF
prompt
mput $EXAMPLE_FILE
quit
EOF

Sure, if the system does not support ssh, it probably does not support ftps either - but you can try it (e.g. via ftp-ssl) if you need to secure your connection.
LFTP
An alternative to one of the plain ftp commands is to use lftp, since it provides several features to automated login and command execution.
Example:
$ lftp -e 'source ~/login.lftp'
$ cat login.lftp
open sftp://juser:geheim@backup.example.net
cd /path/to/favorite/dir

Note that this example shows automated password authentication to a SFTP server which is not supported by the standard OpenSSH sftp client.
The option -e instructs lftp to execute the commands at startup and stay interactive.
Such an lftp script might also source other scripts, automatically disconnect from the server, etc.
In contrast, with -c or -f lftp directly exits after executing the commands specified as argument or read from the specified file.

Q: How can this kind of SQL injection work even though there is not security consideration at all? bob'); drop table students; --

In PHP,this will fail:
mysql("statement1;statement2;");

There can be only one statement,so I really doubt how can the above injection actually work at all?

A: Well it doesn't work in MySQL, but there's other things that can be done with SQL injection.
Consider this:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username' AND passwd = '$password'";

// run the query, check if the user exists, let them in, etc

If you write this into the username field:
admin' --

it becomes:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'admin' -- AND passwd = 'whatever'

There's also the possibility of Denial-of-service attacks, where they structure the input so that the query takes a very long time to complete, hogging all the resources on your server.
//input:

admin' AND id IN (SELECT u1.id FROM users u1, users u2, users u3, users u4)

If you had 1000 users in your system, that subquery would be trying to return 1,000,000,000,000 records.

A: That kind of injection will work if the code is using the mysqli library as it does allow for multiple queries to be run at once.

A: It's just a cartoon!
You're right, multi-query does not work by default, and it's not supported at all by the plain mysql extension in PHP.
More subtle SQL injection exploits exist, but then the comic wouldn't be as funny, would it?

A: Not sure if this will work, but try using // as your separator instead of ;, e.g.,
bob')// drop table students// --

There is info on submitting multiple statements using the multi_query statement from PHP here.

Imagine how much help health insurance brings to a family who experiences a medical emergency. Because of this you won't need to dip into your bank savings just to be able to pay for it. That is how important health insurance is. Those who have it have the assurance of not needing to suddenly spend big for a hospital or medical expense.
When you have health insurance from the company that you are working it is your company that is paying the premium for it. It is the company that pays the monthly premiums so that you and your dependents can get medical coverage. But what about those who are not working in companies and are self-employed? For those who have no employer then that would mean processing their own health insurance. The consequence of this is a higher monthly premium for you in contrast with that paid by a company for its workers. This is because those in the company get it as a group buy so the premiums are discounted. Thus if you get it individually you would have to fork out more for it.
Care that is non-medical is deserved by anyone in need of home health care or in home medical care that is compassionate whether the patient is a child, adult or elder. Home health care services are supplied anywhere except for in nursing homes or a hospital. These services might be supplied at an assisted living facility, a school, apartment, or house.
As far as care plans go, there are a wide variety of personal care and nursing services that are not just available, they are tailored for the needs of each individual recipient. A registered nurse needs to provide customized care plans and follow up assessments.
The care that is provided by healthcare assistants and a registered nurse usually supervises home health aides. One of those nurses should be on call at all times to be able to assist the caregivers as well as to give oversight and training and to implement the plans of care.
Are you aware of the fact that 75% of the health care costs in the US are incurred by only 12% of Americans? These people generally have some form of chronic illness. This kind of home care's advantages comprise a great deal more than just having the ability to keep someone at home because of their illness as opposed to being institutionalized in a long-term care facility. As far as cost goes, home care visits are approximately only 10% of what a day at the hospital will probably cost.
Home health care has a track record which has been demonstrated when it comes to things like reducing re-admissions to the hospital, expensive visits to the emergency room and in chronic illnesses. There is evidence that has shown that individuals have the ability to heal faster when they're in their own houses. Both morbidity and mortality rates are reduced in individuals who take advantage of home health care. In reality, 90% of seniors facing long-term care in nursing homes prefer to stay home and find the assistance of a home healthcare provider.
This involves both advising and then catering to the families when it comes to determining the provisions of an aging adult. These caregivers have the ability to navigate many of the long term type of care resources that are available in your area. The purpose here will be to educate and inform the household of exactly what the choices are and then to assist them with the decision's execution. This is accomplished by an RN who has been certified and specially trained in the area of geriatrics.
In the long term home health care is a compassionate and caring choice for anyone who needs care but further wishes to remain in their homes.

Memorial Day recalls ultimate sacrifices made by military on behalf of nation
A large American flag flies on the grounds of Camping World
on Route 302 in Windham. A number of Memorial Day activities
are scheduled in Windham on Memorial Day, including a parade,
a bell ceremony at Windham High School, and a picnic
luncheon at the Windham Veterans Center.
As many of us use the Memorial Day Weekend to mark the official launch of summer, the Memorial Day holiday itself is steeped in tradition and remembrances that pay tribute to those who gave their lives in defense of freedom.
Legends passed down through the generations suggest that General John A. Logan, commander of the Civil War veterans organization known as The Grand Army of the Republic, came up with the idea in 1868 for a national day of commemoration for soldiers who lost their lives in battle. He called this "Decoration Day" and recommended that Americans everywhere take time to pause and reflect on May 30, 1868 about the courage and valor these men demonstrated with flowers and prayer.
Newspaper accounts of the time reported that Logan selected May 30 as the date for "Decoration Day" because it was not a day that a Civil War battle had been fought, while others speculated it allowed for spring flowers to reach full bloom and be in plentiful supply.
Logan himself served with distinction during the war, sustaining serious wounds at the Battle of Fort Donelson in 1862. After regaining his health, Logan, whose nickname was "Black Jack," became a command officer and served under Union generals William Tecumseh Sherman and Ulysses S. Grant.
He later served Illinois as a member of the House of Representatives and as a U.S. Senator and joined Maine's James G. Blaine on the Republican ticket as vice presidential candidate in 1884, which lost the election to the Democrats, led by Grover Cleveland.
Upon his death in 1886, Logan became one of just 40 Americans who have laid in state in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, the latest being U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last fall.
For more than 100 years, Americans came to cherish "Decoration Day" and used the occasion to commemorate all of those who perished during American wars.
In 1972, the federal government's Uniform Monday Holiday Act moved "Decoration Day" from May 30 to the last Monday in May with the new official name of "Memorial Day." Reasons given for the change were to standardize the holiday to a Monday since May 30 could fall on any day of the week.
Coming out of the pandemic this year, Memorial Day activities in Windham will be hosted by the American Legion and are designed to allow the public to observe Memorial Day more traditionally, says David Tanguay, adjutant for the Legion's Field -Allen Post 148.
"Please join the community and the Legion this Memorial Day, May 31, in the more traditional festivities," Tanguay said. "For years the Field-Allen Post has been the architect of the Town's Memorial Day events. It most likely has been longer, but I've only been involved for the past 27 years."
Tanguay said that preparation work for the Memorial Day events has been completed.
"In early May, flags were hung on the utility poles around the town's highways and byways. New flags were needed as well as ordering some 950 flags placed on the graves of our fallen veterans," Tanguay said. "Since 2005 the Legion has placed 100 flags around town in preparation for the summer and Memorial Day. The flags went up this year on the weekend of May 22 and the program is a collaboration between the Town of Windham and the Legion. The Town purchases the flags on a triennial cycle and the Post provides the hardware and manpower to place the flags. The flags fly until Labor Day."
A Memorial Day parade begins at 9 a.m. Monday from the Windham Town Hall and proceeds onto Route 202 in the direction of the High School.
Tanguay said that the best vantage point for viewing the parade is from the area around the intersection of Windham Center Road and Route 202.
"We will be using the Korean War era M-37 Truck for our veterans. The parade is not limited to a specific war era, any veteran who would like to march with the Legion or VFW component is welcome," Tanguay said. "All groups or individuals desiring to join the parade should meet and check in by 8:45 in front of the Town Hall on School Road."
The parade terminates at the Town's Veterans Memorial Flag Pole at Windham High School. At 10 a.m. Memorial Day ceremonies commence with guest speaker U.S. Army Major Brenda Pennels, who is currently serving as Maine's Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the U S Army (CASA).
Master of ceremonies at the event will be American Legion Post 148 Commander Eric Bickford, who will coordinate the ceremonial events including a ceremonial wreath laying, the bell tolling for lost veterans from the community this year, a ceremonial burning of flags removed from local veterans' graves, and a traditional rifle salute and the playing of "Taps."
"Last on the agenda is an open house at noon at the Windham Veterans Center with a picnic style luncheon open to the public hosted by the Field-Allen Post," Tanguay said. "There will be a brief recognition ceremony prior to the picnic in the Windham Veterans Center Memorial Garden with a dedication of a granite bench to one of our own World War II veterans, the late John Cooper of Windham. Following the ceremony, a picnic luncheon will be provided."
During the picnic lunch, poppies to wear in remembrance of veterans will be available to anyone who wants one on a donation-only basis. Donations from the poppies will be used for local veterans' support.
The practice of remembering veterans by wearing poppies in Windham dates to 1920. The red poppy is a nationally recognized symbol of sacrifice worn by Americans since World War I to honor those who served and died for our country in all wars. It reminds Americans of the sacrifices made by our veterans while protecting our freedoms.
All the events are free and open to the public. <

This extensive dissertation presents the versatile work of the great Czech calligrapher and type designer Oldrich Menhart in his most unique and interesting period between 1930 and 1948.
The value of this dissertation lies not only in what it imparts to the reader, but also in its rarity, since relatively little information on the recent history of type in France has been written in English. To people who are less than fluent in French, most information about the state of affairs in French type and typography is woefully out of reach. This well-written study focuses on the activity of French foundries, their fateful decisions regarding the adoption of new technologies and the evolution of French type design throughout the last hundred years.
Most typeface families are designed along an axis of weights ranging from light to bold, but what happens when a family is designed along an axis of expressiveness? Laura Meseguer's graduation project in the Type and Media program at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (Netherlands) became an acclaimed typeface family with varying expressive qualities for different size applications. As if that weren't complex enough, the special typographic demands of four specific languages were also targeted. This documentation contains the brief, method, process and resolution of her project.
The term "elemental approach" is used in this exceptional essay to describe an approach to design that seeks to reduce and rationalize the characteristics of the Latin alphabet. Aoife Mooney acquaints us with the technologies, ideologies and ergonomic considerations which are at the core of this approach, illustrating each with effective visual examples. Along the way, she makes astute observations of rationalism, modernism and the accountability of the designer — in general, and specifically in type design.
This essay is an evaluation of how the Initial Teaching Alphabet was designed. Juliet Shen looks at the history and aesthetics of this curious "alphabet reform" which, amazingly, is still in use in the field of education. As the author herself states: "The appearance of i.t.a. on the printed page violates enough conventions of good typography to have piqued the curiosity of this writer at first sight. […] How did such an anomalous typeface get designed and then selected for widespread educational use?" The story uncovered by her research contains an all-too-familiar interaction of ideology, business and politics.
The twentieth century went by with little being written about one of America's most important type designers. The information on Morris Fuller Benton remained scant, partially because his work stood outside of most historians' field of view and also due to the reticence of the man himself. Research on Benton has increased in recent years and Juliet Shen's valuable dissertation fills a substantial void. After making assessments of the technological and commercial circumstances in which Benton worked, and thorough evaluations of seven of his typeface designs, Ms. Shen arrives at informed conclusions about his motivations and design strategies.
It's still possible for a type designer to create a single typeface and have an impact on an entire language and culture. Juliet Shen did just that when she designed a Lushootseed font for the Tulalip tribe in Washington state. In this article, she outlines the various aspects of the project, her design process and the general role of new typeface designs in language preservation. The project even included a collaboration with the Hamilton Wood Type Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
This dissertation is an excellent introduction to the non-latin script in the Punjab region straddling the border of India and Pakistan. Emma Williams guides the reader through the historical origins and original intention of the Gurmukhi script, the elements of the writing system, and the development of Gurmukhi typeface designs through many centuries. Part 1 looks at the origins of the script and its system, as well as its handwritten forms and the tools used to create it.
The second part of Emma Williams' impressive dissertation on the Gurmukhi script continues with a look at the development of the printed character in text typeface designs.
A thorough and interesting dissertation about the lesser-known type designs from the man who brought us Electra, Metro, Caledonia and the term "graphic design." Tiffany Wardle provides us with a brief biography of W. A. Dwiggins before launching into an inside look at his design process through numerous development samples and excerpts from the correspondence between the designer and Mergenthaler Linotype Company's venerable type director, C. H. Griffith.
