A flag stands for a set of principles; the reach for the ideals of a civilization–
not for the lapses of adherence to them.

“After School” 1959 Norman Rockwell

Flag Day in the United States, observed on June 14th, commemorates the adoption of the American flag by the Second Continental Congress in 1777. It’s a day to honor the symbol of the nation’s unity, freedom, and democracy. The flag represents the ideals and principles upon which the country was founded, including liberty, justice, and equality.

On Flag Day, Americans typically display the flag at their homes and businesses, participate in patriotic ceremonies, and reflect on the significance of the flag in American history and culture. It’s also a time to remember the sacrifices made by those who have served and continue to serve in defense of the nation. Flag Day serves as a reminder of the values that bind Americans together as one nation, under the banner of the stars and stripes.

There are no rigorous standard heights for flagpoles displaying the American flag in educational settlements but there are general guidelines and recommendations.

Commercial Use: In commercial settings, flagpoles can vary widely depending on the size of the building and the surrounding landscape. They can range from 20 feet for smaller businesses to over 100 feet for large corporate buildings.

Government Buildings: Flagpoles at government buildings or public spaces often range from 30 to 60 feet or more, depending on the size and prominence of the building.

Proportions: A general guideline for the American flag is that the length of the flag should be about one-quarter to one-third the height of the flagpole.

Regulations: Some local ordinances or homeowner associations may have specific guidelines regarding flagpole height, so it’s a good idea to check local regulations before installing one.

Ultimately, the height of a flagpole for the American flag depends on the context and purpose of display, as well as practical considerations such as the size of the flag itself and local regulations.

“Tradition is the democracy of the dead”

— G.K. Chesterton


History of Western Civilization Told Through the Acoustics of its Worship Spaces

Other sacred compositions by Maurice DuruflƩ:

  1. Requiem, Op. 9: DuruflĆ©’s “Requiem” is his most renowned composition. It incorporates the Gregorian Chant melodies for the “Dies Irae” and “In Paradisum” sections. While not hymns in the traditional sense, these chants are significant components of the Catholic liturgy.
  2. Four Motets on Gregorian Themes, Op. 10: In this choral composition, DuruflĆ© takes inspiration from Gregorian Chant and includes pieces such as “Ubi caritas et amor” and “Tota pulchra es.” These are not hymns but rather choral settings of Latin liturgical texts.
  3. Fugue on the Theme of the “Carillon des Heures de la CathĆ©drale de Soissons”: This composition for organ is based on a hymn-like theme, although it is not a hymn in the traditional sense. It showcases DuruflĆ©’s skill as an organist and composer.
  4. Prelude on the Introit of the Epiphany (for organ): DuruflĆ© composed this piece for organ, incorporating the Gregorian Chant “O Lux Beata Trinitas,” which is associated with the Epiphany in the liturgical calendar.

“In 1970, Stanford professor Paul Ehrlich published a famous book, The Population Bomb, in which he described a disastrous future for humanity:Ā 

‘The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.’

That prediction turned out to be very wrong, and in this interview American Enterprise Institute scholar Nicholas Eberstadt tells how we are in fact heading toward the opposite problem: not enough people. For decades now, many countries have been unable to sustain a #population replacement birth rate, including in Western Europe, South Korea, Japan, and, most ominously, China. The societal and social impacts of this phenomenon are vast. We discuss those with Eberstadt as well as some strategies to avoid them.”

Out take [35:22]:

“…All right this gets us right to the heart of of your essay and of the matterĀ quoting you yet again the single best predictor for National fertility ratesĀ happens to be wanted family size as reported by women now you note there areĀ polls that ask women how many children they’d like and you know that this doesn’t correlate perfectly with birthĀ rates but it’s the best indicator in one sense this is a reassuring evenĀ heartening finding it highlights the agency at the very heart of our Humanity…

[“You’re talking about free will there people choosing their family size but if we permit the non-material realm of life to figure into our inquiry we may conclude that proposals to revive the American birth rate through subsidies vastly underestimate the challenge the challenge May ultimately prove to be civilizational in nature”]Ā 

okay so I look at first of all that hits like a two by four — civilizational in nature — and on the one hand I think to myself wait a minute aren’t we all supposed to be delighted that in this modern world women are in a position to participate in the workforce they’re in a position to choose moreĀ carefully more explicitly more intentionally the number of children they’d like to have aren’t we supposed to believe that that’s a wonderful thing and that releasing that many womenĀ to the workforce should increase the dynamism and growth of our [economy]…and all that…good, good, good…”
