American Flag

American Flag:Latest news American Flag.Search result American Flag.All about American Flag.Singapore trend American Flag.
Over the marquee’s neon red glare there is no proof that our flag is still there.

The American flag on top of the marquee of The Pavilion, the movie theatre on Prospect Park West, is not being displayed properly, and some neighbors, including a former Marine and a retired fireman, feel that the theatre’s display of the Stars and Stripes is disrespecting our country and our troops.

For a couple of weeks now, the flag has been wrapped around its pole, touching the top surface of the marquee and is not taken down at night, three violations of the US Flag Code etiquette.

Jim Rallis, a neighborhood resident and a retired captain of the FDNY’s Ladder Company 122, notified Patch that the flag, which is on the section of Prospect Park West that was recently co-named “Julian Brennan Way,” a Park Slope resident and Marine who died while serving the US in Afghanistan, is being flown improperly.

He said that he has gone to the theatre five times in the past two weeks to speak with the manager in order to get it fixed, but to no avail. According to Rallis, the manager said the flag is not flying properly because the flagpole is broken.

“The laziness of the management of the Pavilion is an embarrassment,” Rallis said. “That they will not open a window and take in the US Flag and show it's proper respect while we have brave men and woman still overseas fighting and protecting our freedom….Where is the respect?” 

A manager at The Pavilion refused to give Patch a comment on Friday about the flag. However, she did say they have received complaints about how they are displaying our country’s banner.

“We are not talking about this,” the manager stated.

But Rallis is by far not the only one concerned about how the flag is being disrespected, especially on Julian Brennan Way and steps from Bartel-Prichard Square, a memorial for two young Brooklynites who died in combat during World War I.

Joe, a 48-year-old Kensington resident who did not want to give his last name, was walking past the cinema with his son when he noticed the condition of the flag.

“I think it is a travesty, I really do,” Joe said.

Then his son, James, who is 8 and goes to Immaculate Heart of Mary in Fort Hamilton, said the flag was not being displayed with respect.

“The American flag should never touch the ground or be displayed in a disrespectful manner,” the boy said while he was standing under the marquee on Friday.

And the kid is right. According to the US Flag Code, which was established on Flag Day, June 14, 1923, “The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.”

Also, it custom to display the flag only from “sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flagstaffs in the open.” But the flag at The Pavilion is outside during the night. However, the code states, “…The flag may be displayed twenty-four hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness.”

But there is no light illuminating the flag.

“Anyone who knows the history of the American flag knows this is a disgrace to America’s history,” Joe said. “This flag, considering the proximity to Julian Brennan Way, does not serve his memory well.”

A spokesman for the office of the Borough President, Marty Markowitz, said that they do not tolerate misuse of the American flag.

“Our office takes seriously the proper display of the American flag,” the spokesman said. “Our office is looking into the complaint of this location.”

Up a couple blocks, at Farrell’s Bar on 16th Street, a former Marine and 44-year Windsor Terrace resident, Charlie O’Donnell, said he has seen The Pavilion’s flag in bad condition for far too long.

“I am upset! They have had more than enough time to fix it—the flag has been in disarray for at least two months,” O’Donnell said. “They bring the marquee up to date, just spend ten minutes and bring it down.”

A co-owner of the bar, Jim Houlihan, also believes the flag is being treated with disrespect.

“They are showing no respect for the American flag, they should take it down or display it properly,” Houlihan said. “There are too many guys dying for this country for there to be a flag like that one.”

Use Android?


Google's Android mobile platform is clearly a lot more open and free than Apple's competing iOS is, but proprietary drivers and data-collecting apps still pose a significant threat to users' freedom.



That's according to the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE), which on Tuesday launched a new campaign urging users to take steps to liberate their Android devices.
"Users deserve to have full control over their mobile devices," explained Torsten Grote, FSFE member and initiator of the campaign, in the group's announcement of its new “Free Your Android” campaign. "If your phone runs Free Software, you're in charge. If it runs proprietary software, you're handing control of your digital life to manufacturers and app developers."
'A Threat to Democracy'
Many mobile apps spy on their users without their knowledge, the FSFE points out, citing the Carrier IQ scandal from late last year as an example.
Meanwhile, “convenient solutions for synchronization and data backup trick more and more people into storing all their data on centralized servers run by some profit driven corporation,” the group notes. “Whoever has personal information about us is able to manipulate us. Therefore non-free devices are a threat to democracy and to our society.”
As for the devices themselves, they may be completely locked down or they may prevent users from uninstalling certain apps. Software updates are often available only as long as the manufacturer still has a commercial interest in your device, the FSFE points out.
Three Steps for Freedom
With the help of German privacy organization FoeBuD, the new Free Your Android campaign aims to help users regain control of their Android devices and their data. Toward that end, it offers suggestions in three key areas:
1. The Operating System
In addition to proprietary components and add-ons, some phones also have a locked boot loader that prevents you from booting and installing other operating systems. So, if you're in the market for an Android phone, the FSFE urges you to make sure that the boot loader can be unlocked, and it points to a page on the CyanogenMod wiki that provides a wealth of information on that topic.
The FSFE also recommends Replicant OS, an Android distribution that it says is fully free.
Not many phones can run Replicant, however; for those that can't, the FSFE recommends CyanogenMod instead.
2. The Apps
Because the Android Market doesn't generally indicate whether an app is free software or not--and because it requires a Google account--the FSFE recommends avoiding it. As an alternative, the group suggests using F-Droid, a repository of easily installable free software for Android. An Android client app makes it easy to browse free software applications on F-Droid, as well as to install them and keep track of updates. Also included when available is information about how to donate money to apps' authors.
3. Synchronization
Last but not least, the FSFE recommends several free software alternatives to the services typically used for synchronizing contacts, calendars, and other data with other devices. Among them are ACal, kolab-android, and SSH Daemon dropbear.
