The music genre implosion and the video game crash of 1983
Music Game Meltdown
The causes of the great video game crash of 1983 were complex, but over-saturation of the market and poor quality game releases were major factors in the outcome. In the past two years, the once thriving music game industry went through a similar downturn. At one point, the genre seemed invincible, and yet it still crashed, hard. The similarities between the great video game crash of 1983 and the demise of the music genre are impossible to ignore.

No Rock Band 4 This Year, But Lots of DLC Planned
Harmonix has confirmed that there will be no new Rock Band game this year. They have no immediate plans for a sequel, but are currently working on new concepts to advance the Rock Band franchise. The good news for all you Rock Band fans out there is that there's plenty of DLC planned for this year instead. Reportedly, tracks from Ozzy Osbourne, Lady Gaga, and the Foo Fighters are planned to be available for download later this month.

Did Inadequate Co-Op Play Doom DJ Hero to Low Sales?
The sales numbers for DJ Hero are in, and they are disappointing at best. 122,300 copies of the game were sold across all platforms. That's very low for a music game, especially one that was as heavily promoted as DJ Hero. Ars Technica attempted to explain the low sales, and fans of co-op will likely appreciate this particular reason:

Lips #1 Hits Co-Op Review
Last year we applauded Microsoft's entry into the music genre with Lips. Unique LED and motion sensitive microphones, plus a packed song list with plenty of co-op options made for a great party. Lips is back with the first sequel, called Lips #1 Hits. But is it worth your money?
Rock Band 2 Patch Adds Wireless Mic Support
If there was one thing holding Rock Band 2 back from being the perfect music game, it would have to be the lack of support for wireless microphones. A patch has just been released that fixes this problem, allowing rockers to use the Lips microphones (also recently released seperately) in a fully wireless environment. We're pleased with the addition of this feature, but curious as to why it took so long. After all, wireless mic support was announced last year!

Iggy Pop in LEGO Rock Band, All LEGO Songs Exportable
Is the music game genre oversaturated? Some might say yes. I'd argue otherwise; there's still plenty of good music out there that isn't available in video game form. In any event, we have some details about Harmonix's upcoming cutesified LEGO Rock Band. Iggy Pop will be appearing in the game, as the tutorial voice, and also in plastic action figure form, as you an see above. Iggy's song "The Passenger" will be in the game's song list.

Only 35 'World Tour' Tracks Importable Into Guitar Hero 5
Guitar Hero 5 hit the streets yesterday, and now we now a bit more about the game. We were specifically curious about the import features. Rock Band 2 supported the import of the Rock Band disc songs last year. We loved this feature, and when it was announced that it was finally being added to Guitar Hero, we were quite pleased. Last night, I was unable to contact the servers to try the import, but USA Today has the info. Edit: Updated information below.

Album Review of Gossamer by Passion Pit.
Passion Pit's 2009 debut was a hog pile of neon dance beats and helium-falsetto hooks, undercut by Michael Angelakos' endearingly heartsick lyrics. Their second disc is roomier and more varied: "Carried Away" packs an afternoon of early-Eighties MTV into three minutes, and "Take a Walk" sets lyrics about the Great Recession to stomping disco pop, displaying Angelakos' gift for making pain feel like pleasure. Listen to "Take a Walk": Related• Photos: Random Notes .
Gossamer is a haunting album if you listen closely; it is a musical and social contradiction. It is both heart-wrenchingly introspective and jubilant. And when picturing a crowd eagerly singing along, one can't help but feel a small twinge of irony. It's an unsettling feeling, as though the anthem of today's youth is one of self-loathing and self-medication.
A little over halfway through "Carried Away," the hyperventilating third track on Passion Pit's hyperactive second album, the cooing chorus opens up into frontman Michael Angelakos singing out "We all have problems, we all have problems, we all have something to say!" The exhortation acts as a thesis for Gossamer, whose neon-bright soul appears so similar to the bubbling pop that brought Passion Pit into underground ubiquity—I can't be the only one who's had romance spring from arguing whether the original or remix of "Sleepyhead" was better. With Passion Pit's second album, these confections are more confessional: the album very nearly didn't happen—Angelakos almost killed himself. Again bringing Manners producer Chris Zane, this album is a crystallization of his internal struggle.
Here's an incomplete list of the subjects dealt with on Passion Pit's second album, Gossamer: immigration, alcoholism, economic disparity, suicide, mental illness, drugs, domestic abuse. So when Michael Angelakos sings, "I'm so self-loathing that it's hard for me to see," that should come across like a tremendous understatement. But two lines later, he cries "no one believes me, no not a single thing." That part cuts deep, since Passion Pit's 2009 debut LP, Manners, was an often dark and troubled record a lot of people chose not to take seriously due to its sugar-smacked synth pop and countless product placements.
Passion PitGossamer[Columbia; 2012]By Brendan Frank; July 20, 2012Purchase at: Insound (Vinyl) | Amazon (MP3 & CD) | iTunes | MOGGos-sa-mer. ?gä-s?-m?r, adjective: something light, delicate, or insubstantial. It should be made clear that when we speak of Passion Pit, we're really speaking about Michael Angelakos. The big-haired, notoriously solemn 25-year-old is the frontman, songwriter, founder, and face of the Cambridge electro-poppers.
Review Summary: Passion Pit find their heart. For Michael Angelakos, the darkness has always been served cloaked in an overwhelming halo of light, the kind that doesn't illuminate but blinds with a sort of stabbing beauty. He began Passion Pit as a sort of apology to a girlfriend tired of all his self-defeating bull***, and hid all of the subversive musings of Manners behind layers of synths and his own falsetto, pitched so high as to obliterate any easy meaning.
If cyber-chatter translated into record sales, Massachusetts five-piece Passion Pit would be up there with fellow electro-candy merchants MGMT, rather than stalling at No 51 in 2009. Who knows why they failed to catch fire? It wasn't for want of either imagination or tunes, both of which are abundantly present on their second album. Songwriter and falsetto lead vocalist Michael Angelakos probably thinks too much ("It's an album about making an album that's straining [your] relationship," he has said), and indeed his moods swing wildly – on the clattering On My Way, he's optimistic ("All these demons, I can beat'em"), but he and his girl are "heartbroken and numb" on the funky build-up of Cry Like a Ghost.
Passion Pit's first release was a collection of songs intended as a belated Valentine's Day present to frontman Michael Angelakos' girlfriend. Follow up full length Manners garnered attention for its juxtaposition of dark lyricism with intensely colourful melodies and hyperactive textures. But this emotional directness and lyrical darkness wasn't immediately apparent to the casual listener – it took a concentrated immersion to move past the strikingly uber-falsetto vocals and "woah-oh-oh"-based choruses to discover the discord at the heart of those tracks.
There's a creeping sense of angst and trauma buried beneath layers upon layers of anthemic choruses, chirpy vocal harmonies, ravey synths and symphonic swells on Gossamer, a lovingly produced album that announces Passion Pit main man Michael Angelakos as a true pop heavyweight. Just as Amy Winehouse turned her battle with alcoholism into a hooky dance floor hit on Rehab, the 25-year-old singer/songwriter uses grim subject matter - boozing, pill-popping, relationship turmoil, depression and suicide - to make music that dangles perilously on the precipice of confusion and catharsis. Finger-snapping R&B jam Constant Conversations, effervescent Carried Away and Where We Belong - the stirring symphonic ballad that closes the record - mine a wide terrain of emotions and sounds that match the expansive range of Angelakos's voice.
It can be difficult at the best of times to separate what we know of an artist from their released works, especially when we are able to go online and simply read their press bio or Wikipedia entry. This is less of a problem with younger bands but can still be an issue when they get any measure of footing within the musical community. For Michael Angelakos, instigator and ever-present talking head of eletro-pop band Passion Pit, this casual and intensive notoriety came about with the bands quick ascent after releasing their critically lauded and commercially successful debut record Manners in 2009.
With their sophomore release Gossamer, Passion Pit proves to be the gift that keeps on giving. What started as the mission of mop-topped singer Michael Angelakos to wrap up a Valentine's Day musical box for a past paramour (the collection of songs that would become Passion Pit's 2008 Chunk of Change EP), the project has now become a global love affair out to steal hearts with a dashing and mysterious second album that, in many ways, bests the band's debut. .
If The Strokes made the rock'n'roll ideal real again, and The Rapture reinvented dancing as an alt-imperative, it was the holy triptych of chart-botherers Klaxons, MGMT and Passion Pit who restored pop to its rightful position as a dream machine, rescuing it from the ladrock authenticity police and '90s ironists like Beck, who demystified pop by scoffing at the pre-Cobain ideal of actually believing the lie, the illusion. When the illusion is uncannily and perfectly realised, they call it 'pure pop'. And when pure pop is taken to its logical extreme – rendered hyper-real and assembled entirely from love, Lego and ear candy – what you get is Passion Pit, still fighting the good fight with 'Gossamer'.
Michael Angelakos may not have been the first bedroom pop producer to set the internet ablaze and follow up with a masterful debut, but he's likely the one we all know and adore the most. "Sleepyhead" remains a contender for "Twentysomething Anthem of Forever," and songs from 2009's Manners probably define at least part of every night you spent out in college. Passion Pit's synth-rock debut album was distinctly young, full of vigor, a deranged celebration riding its own wave of cruelly infectious major-key hooks, hybrid electro/R&B beats and Angelakos's strained, urgent falsetto.
Three years ago, Passion Pit's Michael Angelakos closed Manners with wavering last words on "Seaweed Song", singing: "Nobody knows you the way you know you/ But I think I do/ Well I thought I knew/ Yeah, I thought I knew." It was a heartfelt send-off, glistening with the same syrupy angst that Robert Smith bottled and sold in his vineyard de goth decades previous, but also very telling. It framed an indecisive yet deliberately honest songwriter whose complicated demeanor remained submerged in a murky abyss. On his long-awaited followup, Gossamer, Angelakos rushes to the surface, experiencing the bends in the process.
Bloggers were early adopters, colleges made them a staple, and critics swear by them live, but you could be forgiven if the fuss over Passion Pit continues to mystify you. Not that it was any surprise when Columbia swooped them up after only an EP: the Boston quintet's brand of loud, lush, lovesick, shout-along electropop has all the high fructose gratification of Coca Cola, and about as much nuance. It's sensitive like emo, but danceable like Gary Glitter, which means it's catnip for the kids and so, too, for the majors.
Passion Pit's debut, Manners, was a world-conquering sonic arsenal on the level of Coldplay's Parachutes, rife with sing-along dance-pop ammo that peaked with the wonderfully dizzy anthem "Sleepyhead." Yet despite Passion Pit mastermind Michael Angelakos's songwriting often striking a careful balance between Top 40 appeal and indie experimentation, Manners was hardly calculating. If anything, there was a sense that the album's synth-drenched exuberance was the result of the band's self-fandom: Essentially, Passion Pit wrote and performed songs that they themselves wanted to hear. The Cambridge crew's follow-up, Gossamer, doesn't quite boast the same energy level.
PASSION PIT "Gossamer" (Columbia) Shiny, happy sounds define the music of Passion Pit. On "Manners," its debut full-length album, released in 2010, synthesizers shimmered and pealed with lustrous timbres, while dance beats pulsed with tireless programmed jubilation behind Michael Angelakos's falsetto voice. "Gossamer," the second Passion Pit album, adds both new gizmos and a more human touch: dizzying electronic stutters, wavery manipulated voices, chiming glockenspiels, stately pianos, female backup singers, twittering woodwinds and elegiac string sections.
I'm not cool. I used to be, I think, for a while, back when I worked in a record store, but that was by proxy and a long time ago, when those things still existed. But I'm no longer down with the kids. I haven't listened to the radio intentionally in years; I get the majority of my recommendations from a small group of trusted websites and have no idea as to what constitutes 'popular' music nowadays.
Gossamer is, besides being the chosen title of the album in question, another name for spider silk. It's pretty versatile stuff, and spiders, the clever little blighters, can single-handedly weave it into all manner of things; intricate webs, trip wires, parachutes, nests, hammocks, rope ladders (alright, not the last two, but the point still stands). 'Gossamer', then, seems the perfect title for Passion Pit's second album, an intricate sound net, pieced meticulously together by the equally versatile Michael Angelakos – frontman, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist rolled into one.
An impressive and varied second album, but one underpinned by noticeable troubles. Lou Thomas 2012 Michael Angelakos is a troubled man. This summer the Passion Pit frontman has spent time in a New York state mental hospital and cancelled six tour dates. Undoubtedly he's a talented man, too – he wrote and co-produced all the songs on Gossamer and excellent debut album Manners – but one wonders at what cost does inspiration come? As with the greatest tunes from the first album, such as The Reeling, there is a sense of joyous mania in the booming hugeness of some of the best songs here.
In light of recent revelations, it'd be impossible to ignore lead vocalist and songwriter Michael Angelakos's mental health when discussing the Passion Pit we've grown to know and love. For years the helium-pitched vocalist has—unbeknownst to anyone but his loved ones and closest friends—buried his battle with bipolar disorder deep down inside to avoid embarrassment and labeling. But recently, he dropped that guard.
Like 2009's Manners, Passion Pit's sophomore outing is a fat thunderclap of soulful, echo-boom electro-pop that's as poisonous as it is precious, pounding out twinkling summer dance hymns that frame Michael Angelakos' elastic falsetto against a buttermilk sky that's secretly teeming with ominous storm clouds. With Gossamer, Angelakos' angst is pushed even further to the forefront, revealing an artist who doesn't just moonlight as a professional demon wrestler, but puts in a full day's work. Despite the flurry of pre-release woes (canceled shows, lengthy hospital stays, and the revelation of a botched, early suicide attempt, the latter of which is examined in great detail on the visceral and vulnerable closer "Where We Belong"), Gossamer is a triumph of youthful, bipolar tenacity that filters its manic energy through a cosmopolitan prism of pop avenues, from silky neo-soul ("Constant Conversation") to shimmery Jónsi-inspired synth pop ("Take a Walk"), the latter of which takes a third-person approach, weaving a tale of a husband and father's desperation in trying to make sense of his own actions in the midst of a recession's relentless, bloodied backhand.

reDiscover 'Intriguer'
Its creation may have been overshadowed by the recent death of their original drummer, Paul Hester, but Crowded House's critically acclaimed reunion album, Time On Earth, pleaded a convincing case for the band's reappearance on the scene.
Encouraged by the response to the album and the band's subsequent tour, frontman Neil Finn composed a fresh batch of songs during 2008. Early the following year, he reconvened with bandmates Nick Seymour, Mark Hart and Matt Sherrod, and – after an initial demo session – Crowded House repaired to Finn's own Roundhead Studio, in the New Zealand capital of Auckland, to begin work on their sixth studio LP, Intriguer.
Ethan Johns and Steve Lillywhite had been drafted in to oversee the tracks on Time On Earth, but for Intriguer, Wilco producer Jim Scott manned the console. Unlike its piecemeal predecessor (which had evolved out of sessions for a mooted Neil Finn solo LP), the band's core quartet were central to all the songs, though Time On Earth's collaborative vibe continued, with guests ranging from violinist Lisa Germano (David Bowie, U2), ex-Mutton Birds multi-instrumentalist Don McGlashan, and Neil's guitarist son Liam all dropping by to lay down telling contributions.
Issued in June 2010 by Universal Music (and Fantasy in the US), Intriguer was as winsome and persuasive as Crowded House had ever been. It kicked into life with its most immediate, exhilarating and hard-hitting anthem – the bass-heavy, psych-flecked 'Saturday Sun' – and also proffered a couple of notable leftfield departures such as the pensive, enigmatic 'Archer's Arrows' and the ambient-streaked 'Either Side Of The World'.
Intriguer was further distinguished, however, by numerous examples of the dreamy pop classicism in which Neil Finn had long since excelled. The stand-outs were arguably the majestic 'Twice If You're Lucky' and the tremolo guitar-framed 'Isolation', though the home straight concluded with a consecutive trio of Finn's most exquisite ballads courtesy of 'Even If', 'Elephants' and the piano-led 'Eyes Grow Heavy'.
Ably abetted by a clutch of enthusiastic reviews, including a five-star notice from respected UK broadsheet The Times, Intriguer performed well. Predictably, the album topped the charts in Australia, and went Top 5 in New Zealand and Top 20 in the UK, but it also made a strong showing in a brace of European Top 40s and peaked at a highly respectable No.50 on the US Billboard 200.
Moving with the times, Crowded House not only embarked on an extensive world tour in support of Intriguer, but they also interacted with fans online via their website and social media outlets, including Facebook and Twitter, selling live recordings of numerous shows on the tour through USB flash drives.
The band have since been on hiatus, with Neil Finn concentrating on his third solo LP, 2014's Dizzy Heights. However, with a highly anticipated series of shows in Sydney lined up for November 2016, it's only natural to assume that Crowded House will continue to build upon their already spectacular legacy.
Each of Crowded House's albums have been reissued on vinyl and in expanded 2CD editions, and are available as complete bundles here:

The 2014 fantasy baseball season has come to a close, so it is time to look back at the season past and determine which players were the most valuable at each position. While the RotoGraphs crew will continue to break down the outfield class, this is an excellent opportunity to look at the overall rankings.
This year, I've added in RotoGraphs' preseason consensus rankings so you can see what we thought of each player coming into the year. This ranking can be found in the "Pre" column, and our individual preseason top-300 ranks are broken out. "EOS" of course stands for End Of Season, and the rest should be self explanatory. With all this in mind, here are your rankings.
We hoped you liked reading End Of Season Rankings: Overall (1329 players) by Zach Sanders!
I would love to see rankings like this only ranked by production per game vs the whole season. Perhaps with a minimum of 400 PA. I know such a ranking would be more helpful for predicting a player's value for 2015, at least for myself.
Thanks for the hard work and I look forward to seeing the rest of FG's 2014 rankings this winter.


A public information request to the King County Executive's office received last week shows that there were multiple White Center annexation meetings that included the city of Burien, King County, and others that have been occurring starting in January 2013 (two months after Burien's recent failed annexation attempt). Senior Burien city officials attended these meetings. At one meeting, Burien City Manager Mike Martin stated that (if) there is a major turn over on the Burien City Council in this November election, "Burien will not be involved in annexation for the foreseeable future". Martin's statement confirms our point; If Burien votes against Joan McGilton, Rose Clark, Joey Martinez and Lauren Berkowitz, Burien's annexation obsession will be dead. It is as simple as that.
The public record request also shows that White Center residents Liz Giba and Barbara Dobkin, (the two most vocal pro Burien annexation voices in White Center and very close associates with Burien City Council members Rose Clark and Joan McGilton) met this past spring with King County Executive Constantine, asking him to continue putting pressure on Burien to annex White Center. The odds are very good that McGilton and Clark knew about and encouraged this meeting.
Burien's efforts to annex White Center will not end until Burien voters dramatically change the Burien city council. If Burien wants to get back to focusing on its own future, vote for Debi Wagner, Steve Armstrong, Jack Block, and Nancy Tosta.

Ensuring Public Safety
Public safety is ever-evolving and we must remain proactive in our approach to new issues that arise over time. I believe in working with first responders to support those who put themselves in harm's way to protect their communities, modernize law enforcement, and ensure equal protection under the law for everyone.
Working with community safety leaders to ensure equitable, quality public safety services for all South Shore residents.
Secured funding for school safety technology to increase the security of public schools.
Endorsed by the Massachusetts Coalition of Police and the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts.
Proud to be endorsed by
Mass Coalition of Police
Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts
Senator O'Connor believes that public safety officers who dedicate themselves to the safety of every Massachusetts resident are indispensable parts of our community. This is why Senator O'Connor fights for legislation that evaluates, reforms, and supports our Police and Fire Departments.
As we modernize our public safety system to ensure equal protection of all citizens, regardless of race or color, Senator O'Connor believes in preserving due process for police officers, while implementing certification systems and increased training for the law enforcement profession.
In the Fiscal Year 2020 Budget, Senator O'Connor secured $10,000 for the Weymouth Police Department to design and build a permanent memorial for Sergeant Michael Chesna, who was tragically killed in the line of duty on July 15, 2018, in defense of the community he loved and served.
Senator O'Connor was a lead advocate in passing legislation to double the Line of Duty Death Benefit for the families of first responders from $150,000 to $300,000. The legislation was signed into law in 2017 and will provide more equitable relief for families who lost a loved one in the line of duty.
In 2018, Senator O'Connor supported and passed "An Act relative to the municipal police training fund", a landmark bill that established a funding mechanism to give our first responders the best training possible, so that they can meet the extreme demands of their job and confront threats to our communities and to themselves.
Senator O'Connor's legislation has also helped to fund Massachusetts Fire Departments, providing them with the equipment and resources they need to save lives. He co- sponsored a bill in 2018 that set up a bulk-purchasing program to buy extractors at a reduced price to clean fire gear, protecting fire fighters from the toxic carcinogens than can remain in gear after entering a burning building.
Adapting Public Safety Measures to Changing Environments
Senator O'Connor has consistently advocated to pass legislation that fights crime and violence in the Commonwealth.
He supports providing resources to law enforcement officials tasked with pursuing interstate traffickers of fentanyl and carfentanil, illegal firearms, and other underground criminal systems.
In 2016, he sponsored an amendment allowing rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft to immediately suspend a driver if they have been cited for a serious safety violation.
In 2020, Senator O'Connor's bill, commonly known as "Dana's Law", passed to create a registry of caretakers found to have abused individuals under their care. Once a person's name appears on the registry, they will be barred from hire within the caretaking industry.
Strengthening laws to protect Domestic Violence Victims
Senator O'Connor has been advocating for aggressive protection for anyone facing domestic threats. Working alongside victims and victims' families, he continues to find ways to strengthen our laws to truly protect domestic violence victims. This includes:
Increasing access to restraining orders and including ways to inform officials if there is an immediate threat to the victim's life
Improving the court and probation system to give domestic violence victims a stronger voice and increased protection from previous abusers
Strengthening educational programs and monitoring for any person who has committed domestic abuse
Increasing the Security of Public Spaces
In response to national gun violence tragedies, his legislation created "An Active Shooter/ Hostile Event Response" program, referred to as "ASHER", as the standard guidelines for active shooter or hostile event situations in Massachusetts.
In 2019, he also filed legislation to establish a grant program to assist municipalities without a School Resource Officer to afford one, believing in the ability of SRO's to protect school campuses, foster a healthy social environment, and help students build positive relationships with law enforcement.
Supporting and securing school safety grants to South Shore public schools who apply for funding to increase security camera surveillance, door locking mechanisms, and communications systems.
Investing in Safety
In addition to advocating for legislation that promotes the health and safety of constituents, Senator O'Connor frequently secures funding for programs and resources to further protect communities.
Examples of secured funding over the years includes:
$10 Million for municipal police training across the Commonwealth
$100,000 for structural repairs for the Humarock Fire Station in Scituate
$99,000 to implement the Buyer Diversion Treatment Alternative Program in towns of Weymouth, Quincy, Braintree, and Randolph.
$44,674 to Fire Departments across the South Shore for fire safety education programs.
$19,616 in grants to South Shore Fire Departments for gear and equipment that will reduce firefighters' exposure to cancer-causing chemicals on the job

State Senator Patrick O'Connor: Keeping our Communities Safe
Senator O'Connor attended and personally congratulated the graduates of the 63rd Recruit Officer Class of the Plymouth Police Academy. This recruit class had 42 new officers with 6 of them going on to serve in Duxbury, Marshfield, Scituate and Weymouth.
Since Senator Patrick O'Connor first became involved in public service, he has focused on providing the greatest resources possible for municipal operations – especially local Police Departments. Below are some key legislative and budgetary measures that Senator O'Connor has either sponsored or supported:
Key Bills:
House Bill 4516, An Act relative to the municipal police training fund
Current Status: Signed into law, Chapter 153 of the Acts of 2018
This legislation will establish a reliable and dedicated funding source of up to $10 Million for municipal police training across the Commonwealth, similar to that of municipal firefighters, by establishing a $2 surcharge on all rented vehicles and depositing it into a dedicated fund. The legislature has generally funded Municipal Police Training (MPT) through appropriations in the state budget.
O'Connor's Actions: Submitted a formal request to the Senate Committee on Ways and Means to approve of and release the bill for a further vote. Spoke in favor of passing the bill on the Senate floor during debate. Voted in favor of passing the bill to be engrossed. Attended the ceremonial bill signing on July 25, 2018.
Senate Bill 2633, An Act relative to critical incident intervention by emergency service providers
Current Status: Pending before the Senate Committee on Bills in Third Reading
This bill would allow for afflicted emergency service providers to be given critical incident stress management and crisis intervention services. These services would be protected as confidential, and anyone on a critical incident team who is conducting these services would be shielded from having to testify or divulge any information obtained through that work.
O'Connor's Actions: Submitted a Formal Request to the Committee on Bills in the Third Reading to approve of and release the bill for a further vote. Maintaining contact with Committee to track any bill progress.
Forthcoming: A home rule petition from the Town of Weymouth to grant Weymouth Sergeant Michael C. Chesna's family pension that reflects his elevation in rank from Officer to Sergeant.
Bill & Budget Amendments:
Sponsored by O'Connor:
Criminal Justice Reform Bill Amendment #87, Modernizing the Massachusetts Wiretap Law
Expands the use of electronic surveillance by state investigators. Under current law, electronic surveillance can only be used when a crime is committed in connection with organized crime. This amendment would remove this restriction to allow enhanced investigation of a wider array of criminal activity. The amendment retains the process and standards needed to warrant a wiretap.
Criminal Justice Reform Bill Amendment #116, Establishing Carfentanil Sentences
Creates a sentencing scheme for carfentanil. Creates a minimum sentence of five years for the trafficking, manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing more than 1 milligram of carfentanil. 1 milligram is the proven amount of carfentanil that can kill an average size adult male. "Carfentanil" includes any derivative of the drug and any mixture containing more than 1 milligram of the drug or a derivative of it.
FY19 Budget Amendment #1144, Crime Lab Testing Equipment
$1,000,000 to the state police crime laboratory to support increasing costs for training, certification, and testing of fentanyl, carfentanil, and other synthetic opioids in pure form.
FY19 Budget Amendment #74, Regional Animal Control Vehicle
Provides $75,000 for Cohasset to purchase a pickup truck to be used by the animal control officer in Cohasset, Norwell, and Hull.
FY18 Budget Amendment #190, Cohasset and Hull School Resource Officers
Provides $100,000 to the Cohasset Public Schools for a school resource officer and $153,132 to the Hull Public Schools for a school resource officer
Co-Sponsored by O'Connor:
FY19 Budget Amendments:
#344, Joint Labor Management Committee for Municipal Police and Fire
This budget amendment seeks to restore the JLMC to the House and Senate budget amounts that were originally set for Fiscal Year 2018 ($250,000). The JLMC budget supports the part-time Chairman, four (4) part-time Senior Staff Representatives and the direct expenses of the Committee, and is charged with the resolution of disputes over the terms of collective bargaining agreements between municipalities and their professional firefighters and police employees. Funding for the JLMC in Fiscal Year 2017 was at $250,000 and the caseload of the JLMC continues to increase.
#1032, Assault and Battery Against a Police Officer
Institutes a 10 year mandatory minimum sentence for anyone who discharges a weapon at a police officer.
#1072, State Police Radio System
Requires the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security to report on a course of action for updating the state police radio system by December 1, 2018.
#1093 Municipal Police Insurance
GIC had legislation passed (805 CMR 9.00) related to their services to public employees. Under 9.01, it details that the new employee must "wait 60 days for their first date of employment to receive health insurance". Municipalities within the Commonwealth that are not affiliated with GIC do not have the same restrictions; they insure their police officers beginning their first day of employment. This poses the first inconsistency in how health insurance is offered to municipal employees in the state. This amendment would allow all public employees/police officers the benefit of health insurance beginning on the first day of employment, and eliminate the current 60 day wait period.
#1114/1126, Municipal Police Training Fund
Creates a new dedicated funding source to support Municipal Police Training by assessing a $2 surcharge on all car rental transactions and directs receipts from the fees imposed and collected pursuant to Section 20 of Chapter 90 as amended by section 79 of Chapter 38 of the Acts of 2013 into the same account.

"My dark days are over now"
Nanduben Shrimali is a garment worker and midwife from Enasan village, Ahmedabad district. Her husband was unable to earn and the burden of raising her four children fell on Nanduben's shoulder.
"I worked night and day to keep my children in school. Then one day Bachiben, a senior dai (midwife) in my village said,'Nandu, you are clever and you have struggled a lot in your young life. Would you like to accompany me on my midwifery rounds? I can teach you this work.' And so I learned slowly to be a midwife. Then I also learned about SEWA.
Today, I am a full-time 'barefoot doctor' and trained 'dai'. I have organised 50 dais to join SEWA and our dai cooperative' Lok Swasthya. Last year, I was elected to Lok Swasthya's executive committee. Now I have organised training for 50 new dais. Health knowledge and skills help more women during childbirth. Sometimes for days I don't sleep at night as someone or the other calls me to help with child-birth in my village.
I feel like I have been born again after I joined SEWA and Lok Swasthya Cooperative. I make a living as a dai from the cooperative. my dark days are over now."


You can't see them, but they're all around you.
Nobody knows that better than hams, who mostly use the unseen radio waves for fun but who can also become the lifeline for communities that have lost the normal modes of communication in times of distress.
KK4BJZ, otherwise known as Buck Johnson, is one of 156 licensed amateur radio operators in Suffolk. Every ham has his "thing" in the hobby. Johnson's is building equipment and, of course, talking.
Johnson turns a dial in his "ham shack," a small addition to the garage in his rural backyard constructed for the sole purpose of housing his radio equipment. The dial turns a large antenna on top of the building. A display beside the dial gives the names of nearby communities — Isle of Wight, Driver, Portsmouth, Ahoskie, Southampton — to let him know which way the antenna is facing.


In a healthful particular person the small intestine permits surroundings pleasant absorption of nutritional vitamins whereas moreover stopping absorption of undigested meals, micro organism and toxins. A damaged gut lining does the opposite and permits rising portions of toxic substances into the physique Leaky Gut.
These are processed by the liver and at last the liver cleaning processes grow to be overwhelmed and toxins spill over into the blood stream. This precipitates an infinite immune system response, which results in irritation and allergic reactions occurring all by the physique. This inflammatory response would possibly hurt distant organs and contributes significantly to illness and plenty of autoimmune conditions along with thyroid sickness, rheumatoid arthritis and others.
Leaky Gut has been confirmed to be associated to many medical conditions, along with continuous fatigue syndrome, melancholy, inflammatory joint sickness, arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, meals allergic reactions or sensitivities, liver dysfunction, psoriasis, eczema, numerous chemical sensitivity, pimples, impaired immunity, autism, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid sickness and totally different autoimmune conditions. Leaky Gut tends to be a continuous debilitating scenario. It has many causes and presents with all types of indicators and indicators.
Indicators of Leaky Gut embody fatigue, bloating, fuzzy or foggy pondering, impaired memory, digestive points, headache, anxiousness, pimples, hair loss, brittle nails, impaired immunity, diarrhoea, excessive wind, meals intolerances, joint ache, pores and pores and skin rashes, insomnia, hormone imbalances, shortness of breath and others.
Causes of Leaky Gut, embody prolonged stress, poor meals plan, alcohol, allergic reactions, some medicine (significantly non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication and steroids), candida fungal infections, coeliac sickness, parasitic an an infection, some hormones (akin to oral contraceptives), poor stomach acid secretion, some enzyme deficiencies and gut dysbiosis (an imbalance of organisms inside the gut).
Dysbiotic organisms contained in the gut produce toxic chemical compounds and after they die, fragments of their cell partitions (typically often known as endotoxin or lipopolysaccharide) are launched and absorbed into the bloodstream. Lipopolysaccharide is no doubt probably the most potent stimulators of the inflammatory response recognized which explains for lots of the tissue hurt that arises from a Leaky Gut. Fortuitously there are a selection of simple, non-invasive assessments for Leaky Gut and actually environment friendly remedy plans that shortly heal the gut and restore common digestive carry out.
Programmes to heal distant organ hurt, take care of allergic reactions and restore common biochemistry and hormone steadiness, involving meals plan, lifestyle modification and dietary dietary dietary supplements, are moreover very environment friendly. Restoration of healthful energy ranges and wellness is awfully rewarding and permits victims of the often debilitating indicators arising from Leaky Gut to shortly return to common functioning.

Ribnjaci falu Horvátországban Pozsega-Szlavónia megyében. Közigazgatásilag Lipikhez tartozik.

Fekvése
Pozsegától légvonalban 61, közúton 76 km-re északnyugatra, községközpontjától légvonalban 20, közúton 22 km-re északnyugatra, Nyugat-Szlavóniában, a megye nyugati határán az Ilova-folyó mentén fekszik. Az Ilova vizével felduzzasztott halnevelő tavak veszik körül. Nyugatról Kaniška Iva, keletről Marino Selo határolja. A településhez a Daruvárról Poljana felé menő főútról Antunovacnál kell lekanyarodni.

Története
A 19. század végén keletkezett Marino Selo nyugati határrészén az Ilova keleti partján amikor az Ilova melletti korábbi mocsaras területen halastavakat alakítottak ki. Lakosságát főként a halnevelő telep dolgozói adták. Az 1913. évi helységnévtárban Marino Selo részeként Toplički Ribnjak néven 98 lakossal szerepel. Lakosságát hivatalosan csak 1971-ben számlálták meg először önállóan, akkor 74-en lakták. 1991-ben lakosságának 59%-a horvát, 16%-a szerb, 10%-a cseh nemzetiségű volt. 2011-ben 34 lakosa volt.

Lakossága

(1857 és 1961 között lakosságát Marino Selohoz számították. 1991-től önálló településként.)

Gazdaság
A csekély számú lakosság többsége a falu körüli halnevelő tavaknál dolgozik.

Luftburna styrkor är ett truppslag inom armén, ofta lätt infanteri, som kan sättas in i strid genom att släppas från flygplan. De är ofta en del inom flygvapnet eller markstridskrafterna, medan de i vissa länder är ett helt eget truppslag. Deras uppgift är ofta att utföra uppdrag bakom fienden linjer eller att snabbt erövra strategiska punkter.

ELCA'€™s First Female Bishop to Speak at PLU Nov. 1
ELCA's First Female Bishop to Speak at PLU
The Rev. Elizabeth Eaton will speak at PLU on Nov. 1. (Photo courtesy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America)
TACOMA, Wash. (Oct. 21, 2014)—The Southwestern Washington Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and Pacific Lutheran University are joining to bring ELCA Presiding Bishop the Rev. Elizabeth Eaton to PLU on Nov. 1 for a free and public talk titled, "Who is Leading Us, and Where Are We Going?"
Eaton was elected ELCA's fourth presiding bishop at the 2013 ELCA Churchwide Assembly, marking the first time in history that a woman became the leader of the largest Lutheran denomination in North America. Nationwide, the ELCA has nearly 4.2 million members.
"Her unexpected election as the first female leader of the national church is a breaking of that glass ceiling that previously kept women on the sidelines," said Dr. Samuel Torvend, who holds the University Chair in Lutheran Studies at PLU.
What: The Rev. Elizabeth Eaton speaks on "Who is Leading Us, and Where are We Going?"
When: 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 1. Coffee reception begins at 9 a.m.; a Q&A follows the talk.
Where: Karen Hille Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, on the PLU campus.
Admission: Free and open to the public.
Eaton's visit to PLU is historic, too.
"This will be Bishop Eaton's first public visit to the 'None Zone,' that region of the country where over two-thirds of the population does not participate in any form of religion," Torvend said. "And she will be speaking in a part of the country that witnessed many departures from the church after it voted in 2009 for the full inclusion of gays and lesbians as church leaders."
That latter issue still resonates as timely and relevant, especially in light of the Oct. 18 reversal by Roman Catholic bishops of a controversial document that had talked more positively of homosexuals than any other in the church's history.
Eaton earned a Master of Divinity degree from Harvard Divinity School in Cambridge, Mass., and a Bachelor of Arts degree in music education from the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio. Ordained June 4, 1981, Eaton served as assistant pastor of All Saints Lutheran Church in Worthington, Ohio; interim pastor of Good Hope Lutheran Church in Boardman, Ohio; and pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church in Ashtabula, Ohio. She was elected bishop of the ELCA Northeastern Ohio Synod in 2006 and re-elected in May 2013. Eaton's husband, the Rev. T. Conrad Selnick, an Episcopal priest, is vice president for advancement and church relations at Bexley Seabury Federation. They are parents of two adult children, Rebeckah and Susannah.

Q: How can I add Marvin Framework to a dynamic web project running on tomcat? Marvin Framework is running perfectly in my Java project in Eclipse. I have copied the whole marvin folder to the project root folder, following the readme file. All good.
Now, when setting up the same app as dynamic web project in Eclipse and try to run it on Eclipses tomcat 9, I get a HTTP Status 500 – Internal Server Error caused by java.lang.ClassNotFoundException (see 'ERROR 1'below).
It seems, in a dynamic web project the jars should be in WEB-INF/lib. When copying marvin_1.5.5.jar to WEB-INF/lib the class marvin.image.MarvinImage is found correctly (ERROR 1 disappears).
But unfortunately the Marvin image plugins are not found. I have tried to copy the whole marvin folder to WEB-INF/lib - did not work. I got another HTTP Status 500 – Internal Server Error with java.lang.NullPointerException (see 'ERROR 2' below).
I have tried to set the MarvinDefinitions.setImagePluginPath to myproject/WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/plugins/ - did not work. I got an error in the console: java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: \myproject\WebContent\WEB-INF\lib\plugins\org.marvinproject.image.transform.scale.jar.
-> Does anyone know how to implement Marvin in a dynamic web project properly?

A: The problem with the way the Marvin zip distribution works is that it loads the JAR files at runtime as files. So you'll have to find out where the plugins were deployed. Retrieving a reference to the ServletContext and setting:
MarvinDefinitions.setImagePluginPath(servletContext.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/lib/plugins"));

might work if the WAR archive was unpacked to a directory (as Eclipse does). But it won't work in every situation.
A better solution is to download the Marvin jars (MarvinFramework and MarvinPlugins) from Maven and put them into your WEB-INF/lib folder (or add them as dependencies of the project if you are using Maven). In this distribution all the plugins will be already loaded and available through the static methods in the marvinplugins.MarvinPluginCollection class.

"Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song." This means that we need to thank God for everything He has made and to always give Him lots of praise by singing to Him.
God is always with us, even when we make bad choices or don't want to follow Him. There might be times in your lives when it feels like God is far away, but that's only a feeling. The truth is that God is always near, ready to help you and deliver you.


Flooding at St. Bernard Avenue and Claiborne around Circle Food Store after Aug. 5, 2017 rainstorm.
It is a really good thing that summers are a historically slow period for tourism in New Orleans. That probably means there weren't a whole lot of visitors traversing our wonderful city on July 22, 2017, when a lingering storm dumped nearly 5 inches of rain, flooding city streets. If we were lucky, even fewer tourists were in town two weeks later on Aug. 5, 2017, when more than nine inches of rain fell over a short period of time in Mid-City, while other parts of New Orleans saw anywhere from three to five inches of rain.
Who doesn't remember Aug. 5, 2017? A state of emergency was declared. Streets, cars, businesses and homes were inundated with water. The city's pump system had failed. There were some scenes that could only be rivaled by memories of Hurricane Katrina.
Thank God for slow summer months so that not too many of our welcomed visitors—the ones that come to New Orleans from near and far for its unique culture, unparalleled revelry, first-rate cuisine and transformative music—were here to witness our city brought to a near standstill by a summer rain storm. It would not have been a good look.
And let's face it. No one can second line down a flooded street—not even in New Orleans. And while all roads in the city may very well lead to the Superdome, who's going to travel them when they are under four or five feet of water?
After that August 2017 flood, the city's Sewerage & Water Board was catapulted into necessary upheaval. The agency now has a new leader and millions of dollars in emergency repairs have been made since those storms and the ensuing flooding rocked the city—giving it a much needed wake-up call with respect to the state of its infrastructure. But the reality is that this should have never happened. Our city's drainage system should have never slipped into such a deplorable state that a bad rainstorm caused damage eerily similarly to that of a category 3 hurricane and broken levees.
No doubt, the recently implemented changes at S&WB were a necessary step in addressing the challenges we face. But the approach must be multi-faceted. Emergency repairs, along with changes in leadership and policies are only part of the solution. The ability to allocate the resources needed to address longstanding problems is paramount.
That's why we are in favor of Mayor LaToya Cantrell's plans to use some of the tax revenue that has typically gone to tourism and sports industries in New Orleans to address much-needed drainage and infrastructure issues that still persist.
The Mayor recently shared her idea at the meeting of a local women's organization. Not all of the details have been worked out. For instance, while the Mayor isn't proposing redirecting all of the funds allocated annually to the Ernest N. Morial Exhibition Hall Authority; the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District, which oversees the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and other sports facilities; the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation; and New Orleans and Co., formerly the Convention and Visitors Bureau, from city tax revenue, just how much she would like to see diverted to infrastructure projects remains unclear. Would the change be a permanent one or a temporary measure with a sunset clause designed to reach specific goals?
All of those details must be ironed out. But this conversation is one worth having. And we applaud the Mayor for having the courage to broach the subject. Let's tell the truth. More than one year has passed since last summer's storms and flooding. Millions have been poured into improving the city's water pumping and drainage system; and SW&B has been under scrutiny like never before. But the system is old and needs a lot of attention. If on today, the forecast called for torrential rain, New Orleanians would go into a fury of activity as they rush to move their cars to higher ground, secure their property or meticulously travel streets swamped with rainwater to escape a probable deluge.
So when the Mayor suggests using money historically given to the tourism, sports and event industries to ramp up our efforts to address our failing infrastructure, we can't help but be open to the conversation.
We don't expect this to be an easy ask. Questions of money never are. To be sure, Mayor Cantrell will have her work cut out. The plan requires legislative approval. There has already been one state legislator who has made it clear, according to media reports, that he is not to keen on the idea. A longtime lawmaker who wields a lot of power in Baton Rouge, State Rep. John Alario, who hails from Westwego, a quaint little city located in neighboring Jefferson Parish, says he is sympathetic to the challenges our mayor and city faces. With all due respect, Rep. Alario, we will trade a pound of your sympathy for just a smidgen of cooperation.
And we expect the tourism industry to offer some level of resistance. They would be right to proceed cautiously and knee-jerk defense mechanisms would be in order. We would not be surprised by outright opposition, at least at first, as self-preservation is an innate instinct. But we're urging everyone to get on board and hammer out a plan that all parties can live with it for the good of all of New Orleans.
Some of the agencies that would be asked to have some of their revenue diverted to infrastructure are valuable organizations. Some are even entities that we like and consider friends, even partners. Our contention is not that these agencies do not deserve or need the revenue. What we contend is that the people of New Orleans just happen to need it more right now.
We hope that tourism leaders and related businesses will see the big picture. Yes, New Orleans is a great city—one that attracts millions of visitors annually. It's a show city, for sure. But how about we really make it a city worth showing? The best way to tackle that task is to give a little more attention to the people who are here 365 days a year and the neighborhoods they call home. We must ensure that every nook and cranny of our city, every aspect of its operation is a jewel in its crown. Ask anyone in the tourism business what makes New Orleans so special, so unique, so unlike any other place in the world, and before you could finish the question, they would quickly say that it's the people. Behind the music, the art, the food, the culture, the warmth and friendliness that are the trademarks of New Orleans are its people. The folk who call this place home are the same folk who make it a tourist magnet.
Well, the people of New Orleans shouldn't have to be afraid that their homes, cars or businesses will get severely damaged every time there is rainstorm brewing. Traveling down a neighborhood street—almost anywhere outside of the CBD—shouldn't feel like the bumpy climb of a steep roller coaster just before it nose-dives.
Our city has a 33 –year-old convention center that was completely renovated only 12 years ago. Plans for redevelopment around it are underway. The Louisiana Superdome, which is barely 43-years-old, just underwent a massive post-Katrina redevelopment with plans for future renovation already afoot. Meanwhile our pumping and drainage system is almost 100 years ago. Pieces and parts have been replaced and repaired over the years. But the system itself is archaic and needs to be overhauled. Is it such a bad idea to look at our condition as a city and reprioritize just a bit? In fact, isn't it time we do so?
The way that our city looks—the whole city, not just the center of town—is important to tourism and a reflection of our brand. The way that our city operates—the whole city, not just the tourism industry—is a reflection of what we value. The way that our city treats its people—all of its people, those who visit New Orleans for its culture and especially those who are the natural sources of that culture—is reflection of who we really are.
If you stop and think about it, it's a pretty gloomy statement about our city and its priorities to have lavish sports and event facilities or a modern convention center while the people who work at them every day have might have to swim home to Mid-City, Gentilly, the Ninth Ward or Carrollton any time it rains too long, too hard or too fast.

AARON LENNON has spoken publicly for the first time after being sectioned under the Mental Health Act – and says it is "great to be back after a difficult period".
Lennon, 30, thanked fans, clubmates and the "general public" for their "incredible" support.
And he urged anyone who has psychological issues to talk about their problems.
The former England and Tottenham pace ace has not played since February.
He was sectioned after police picked him up near a motorway in Salford on April 30.
Lennon was taken to hospital after reportedly negotiating with officers for 20 minutes.
Everton later confirmed that Lennon was being treated for a "stress-related illness".
He is now back in full training – and has publicly thanked his team-mates for their backing.

MYOB's proposed GreatSoft buyout hits ACCC hurdle
By Justin Hendry on Feb 11, 2021 11:41AM
Competition concerns raised.
Australia's competition watchdog has raised concerns that MYOB's proposed acquisition of GreatSoft could lead to reduced competition in the practice management software market.
Last October MYOB announced its intention to acquire GreatSoft to "fast-track" its cloud-based practice management solution offering.
The deal would see MYOB integrate GreatSoft's cloud-based practice management software with its suite of accounting software solutions, subject to ACCC approval.
But the proposal has now hit a roadblock, with the ACCC on Thursday questioning the impact of the acquisition on the practice management software market for medium-to-large customers.
The regulator said the acquisition could "substantially lessen competition in the account software market" by resulting in only three major suppliers of practice management software.
Other competitors include Reckon APS – which MYOB previously attempted to acquire – and Xero Practice Manager, both of which have many medium-to-large customers.
"We are concerned that if MYOB acquired GreatSoft, there would only be three major suppliers of practice management software to medium-to-large accounting firms," commissioner Stephen Ridgeway said.
"GreatSoft is a new entrant that has won several medium-to-large MYOB customers, and we are looking into its potential to grow stronger.
"We received feedback that accountants now have a strong preference to move from traditional desktop-based software, like MYOB's, to online 'cloud' software.
"While GreatSoft's customer base is currently small, the ACCC is investigating its potential to become a strong competitor as it appears to be a viable choice for many medium-to-large firms wishing to migrate to the cloud."
Ridgeway added that medium-to-large firms required "more sophisticated features from practice software", making it "difficult for new competitors to enter this market".
"Software suppliers have to invest significant time and resources to develop functionality to meet the needs of larger accounting firms, and require a proven track record in order to convince accounting firms to switch software," he said.
"While GreatSoft itself faced some of these challenges, we consider that as it has operated in Australia for the past two years, it may now be well-placed to overcome them."
The ACCC has asked interested parties to respond to a statement of issued about the proposed deal before March 5.
A final decision on the acquisition is scheduled for April 22.

Ang Bayan: End martial law! Overthrow the US-Duterte regime!
End martial law! Overthrow the US-Duterte regime!
Rodrigo Duterte declared martial law in Mindanao to mount his war of destruction in Marawi, intensify and extend Oplan Kapayapaan and impose his tyrannical and terrorist rule across the country.
In the name of "fighting terrorism," Duterte bombed Marawi with utter disregard for the lives, property and livelihood of the Meranaws and the city's other inhabitants. Hundreds of thousands evacuated, more than 1,200 have been killed and not less than 800 are still missing. This is Duterte's biggest crime against the people under martial law. But this is not his only crime.
Wielding military power, Duterte and his armed minions in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) have committed a great number of crimes against the Filipino people. Everyday under martial law and Oplan Kapayapaan, hundreds of barangays, especially in the Mindanao hinterlands, are under AFP occupation, surveillance, restriction and oppression; pounded by bombs and artillery and threatened to be the next Marawi.
Mindanao martial law is a war against the toiling masses; an armed oppression of the unarmed people. Hundreds are persecuted and slapped with trumped up charges. Every three days, a new victim of extrajudicial killings by the AFP and its armed minions is added to the growing list. Daily the people suffer the intimidation, threats and assaults by the AFP's fascist troops.
The imposition of Mindanao martial law is a key component of the US-designed Oplan Kapayapaan war of suppression across the country. The US plays a central role in supporting martial law. In Marawi, US officials, advisers and military troops openly intervened by flying drones and dropping bombs.
With US support, the AFP employs its unrestrained powers in Mindanao to push its anti-people war across the country. By extending Mindanao martial law, the Duterte regime wishes to "normalize" the reactionary state's use of terrorism and make its miscreance acceptable.
Duterte employs martial law tactics across the entire country. Today, millions live under military rule across the archipelago. Because of Mindanao martial law, AFP troops and officials are emboldened to abuse their power, abuse human rights and suppress the democratic mass struggles.
Duterte uses Mindanao martial law to intimidate the Filipino people and show that nothing can impede his power. It is a key part of his tyrannical and terrorist rule across the country.
Recently, Duterte ousted the chief justice of the Supreme Court who he declared his enemy. Duterte used a questionable legal maneuver (quo warranto instead of impeachment), although the real force behind it was his tyrannical power. This is also the force behind efforts to fully control the Senate in order to make it acquiesce to his charter change scheme to perpetuate himself in power in the form of a transition to a federal form of government.
The Filipino people must advance their struggles to end Mindanao martial law, end Oplan Kapayapaan and end Duterte's rule.
The revolutionary armed struggle must be assiduously waged as the main form of resistance against fascist rule. Because of Duterte's armed suppression, the necessity of taking up arms to defend against fascism and advance the people's revolutionary cause becomes ever clearer.
With tyrannical and terrorist measures, Duterte is running roughshod and aggravating a growing number of people. The people's anger is ever seething. The basic sectors' resistance against the fascist Duterte and AFP as they advance their democratic cause is growing. The ranks of organizations, parties, institutions and personalities calling for his ouster from power is swelling.
The anti-Duterte united front must be further expanded nationwide and strengthened. This mainly rests on the breadth and strength of the basic democratic sectors. Thus, it should give all-out support to the anti-fascist struggles of the toiling masses in order to clamor for justice against all of the AFP's fascist crimes, expose and oppose the abuses of human rights and support the widespread uprising against Duterte's terrorism and tyranny.


Wisconsin's home sales rose significantly in the month of October, and median prices continued growing at a solid rate, according to a recently released analysis of the state's housing market by the Wisconsin REALTORS® Association (WRA). Existing home sales in October 2014 were 9.6 percent higher than October 2013 while median prices were up 4.2 percent over that same period, growing to $148,000. "This was a strong bounce in home sales in a month where sales activity is typically winding down as we approach winter," said Dan Kruse, chairman of WRA board of directors. "In fact, this is the strongest October sales we have seen since 2005 when the WRA began using the current data collection system." Kruse said. Median prices continued to rise statewide in October, growing at a 4.2 percent annual pace. On a year-to-date basis, home prices in Wisconsin were up 2.5 percent compared to the first 10 months of 2013, which more than outpaces the annual national inflation rate, which stood at 1.7 percent as of September.
Below are the number of Home Sales and Median House Prices for the state of Wisconsin, Dane County, and Rock County. These stats include Janesville and Madison. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions pertaining to these figures. This month Dane & Rock County's home prices increased significantly. On a year over year basis, Dane County home prices were up 3.7% and Rock County prices are up 13.8%!

Electron holography is holography with electron waves. Dennis Gabor invented holography in 1948 when he tried to improve image resolution in electron microscope. The first attempts to perform holography with electron waves were made by Haine and Mulvey in 1952; they recorded holograms of zinc oxide crystals with 60 keV electrons, demonstrating reconstructions with approximately 1 nm resolution. In 1955, G. Möllenstedt and H. Düker invented an electron biprism, thus enabling the recording of electron holograms in off-axis scheme. There are many different possible configurations for electron holography, with more than 20 documented in 1992 by Cowley. Usually, high spatial and temporal coherence (i.e. a low energy spread) of the electron beam are required to perform holographic measurements.

High-energy electron holography in off-axis scheme
Electron holography with high-energy electrons (80-200 keV) can be realized in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) in an off-axis scheme. Electron beam is split into two parts by very thin positively charged wire. Positive voltage deflects the electron waves so that they overlap and produce an interference pattern of equidistantly spaced fringes.

Reconstruction of off-axis holograms is done numerically and it consists of two mathematical transformations. First, a Fourier transform of the hologram is performed. The resulting complex image consists of the autocorrelation (center band) and two mutually conjugated sidebands. Only one side band is selected by applying a low-pass filter (round mask) centered on the chosen side-band. The central band and the twin side-band are both set to zero. Next, the selected side-band is re-positioned to the center of the complex image and the backward Fourier-transform is applied. The resulting image in the object domain is complex-valued, and thus, the amplitude and phase distributions of the object function are reconstructed.

Electron holography in in-line scheme
Original holographic scheme by Dennis Gabor is inline scheme, which means that reference and object wave share the same optical axis. This scheme is also called point projection holography. An object is placed into divergent electron beam, part of the wave is scattered by the object (object wave) and it interferes with the unscattered wave (reference wave) in detector plane. The spatial coherence in in-line scheme is defined by the size of the electron source. Holography with low-energy electrons (50-1000 eV) can be realized in in-line scheme.

Electromagnetic fields
It is important to shield the interferometric system from electromagnetic fields, as they can induce unwanted phase-shifts due to the Aharonov–Bohm effect. Static fields will result in a fixed shift of the interference pattern. It is clear every component and sample must be properly grounded and shielded from outside noise.

Applications

Electron holography is commonly used to study electric and magnetic fields in thin films, as magnetic and electric fields can shift the phase of the interfering wave passing through the sample.

The principle of electron holography can also be applied to interference lithography.
