You see, there are verses that are seldom sung by the choruses and flag waving nationalists, verses that very much change the tone and meaning of the song. It’s become a kind of populist national anthem which is sort of ironic given its beginnings and the words of the song. You are no doubt familiar with this song, probably thinking of it as a cheery, upbeat song about the beauty and breadth of our democracy, sung often by smiling church and school choruses. The song is This Land Is Your Land from the great Woody Guthrie. Since we’re in the midst of the Fourth of July weekend, I thought this Sunday’s musical selection should be something with a definite American flavor. Woody Guthrie- This Machine Kills Fascists
So, as we prepare for this year’s Fourth of July, I think of these paintings and the symbolism that they hold for myself and hope that we find a return to being that nation of possibility and hope, a society of choice and opportunity. And Hassam’s paintings do that for me in a beautiful, graceful manner. And now.īut I tend to think of it in the better light, as a call to our better nature and to a society of choice and opportunity. Perhaps it also covered up many of the injustices and inequalities rampant then. The flags represent a unifying bond that ties together all these diverse groups, a simple symbol that speaks easily to the wants and desires of the population. The cityscape shows an expansion of urban growth brought on by the influx of an immigrant population and a prospering, industrialized economy. I think these paintings say a lot about America, especially at that time. However, Hassam was in NYC and the displays on the avenues of multitudes of flags among the canyons of the growing city inspired him to produce a number of powerful paintings, not bombs. The most famous of these was in San Francisco where, at one such parade in July of that year, a bomb was exploded by radicals of the time that killed 10 bystanders and injured many more. In many cities around the country there were Preparedness Parades that displayed the general population’s escalating enthusiasm for entering the fray.

He started this series of paintings in 1916 as the buildup to our entry in World War I was reaching a crescendo. His flag series was the most popular work in his long career. I am a big fan of the flag paintings of Childe Hassam, the American Impressionist painter who lived from 1859 until 1935. And flags, plenty of American flags, that familiar red, white and blue. It brings to mind images of fireworks, parades and picnics. We’re quickly moving into our most American of holidays, the 4th of July.
Twain sane driver#
I am not looking for SANE driver and wrapper as I have found something already if we went down the SANE path.This is a compilation of a previous post with a few more images and a video showing the breadth of the work from artist Childe Hassam. Is there any support, stable Java TWAIN wrappers? Are there any commercial solutions other than JTWAIN, Morena or EZTWAIN? Open Source seems to be in worse shape where last activity is years ago: JTWAIN seems to be the most popular but seems dated.
Twain sane software#
I can find commercial software such as from Aprise and Morena, but both seems not up-to-date.
Twain sane code#
In researching, I was first trying to find open source code for TWAIN, but this seems to dead-end on JAVA.
