title: "1913 Massacre" content: 1913 Massacre "1913 Massacre" is a topical ballad written by Woody Guthrie, and recorded and released in 1941 for Moses Asch's Folkways label. The song originally appeared on "Struggle", an album of labor songs. It was re-released in 1999 on "Buffalo Skinners: The Asch Recordings, Vol. 4" and other albums. The song is about the death of striking copper miners and their families in Calumet, Michigan, on Christmas Eve, 1913, in what is commonly known as the Italian Hall disaster. Throughout the 1940s, Guthrie recorded hundreds of discs for Moses Asch, the founder of Folkways Records. One was “1913 Massacre”.


title: "1913 Massacre" content: According to Pete Seeger, Guthrie was inspired to write the song after reading about the Italian Hall disaster in "We Are Many" (1940), the autobiography of Ella Reeve Bloor, also known as Mother Bloor, a labor activist whose granddaughter was married to Hollywood actor and activist Will Geer who performed with Guthrie in the 1930s. Guthrie's notes indicate that he got the idea for the song "from the life of Mother Bloor", an eyewitness to the events at Italian Hall on Christmas Eve, 1913. A socialist and labor organizer from the East Coast, Bloor was in Calumet working on the


title: "1913 Massacre" content: miners' behalf with the Ladies Auxiliary of the Western Federation of Miners. She was assisted by Annie Clemenc, also known as "Big Annie of Calumet" – the "lady" in Guthrie's song who hollers "'there's no such a thing! / Keep on with your party, there's no such a thing.'" Bloor tells the story of the Calumet strike and the Italian Hall disaster in the first half of a chapter called "Massacre of the Innocents." She devotes the second half of the chapter to events in Ludlow, Colorado in 1914, the subject of another Guthrie song — "Ludlow Massacre." Guthrie's song


title: "1913 Massacre" content: echoes the language of Bloor's account in many places. The historian Arthur W. Thurner has found similar accounts in English and Finnish-language newspapers from the period; these accounts, he says, probably originated with Clemenc. (Many Finnish miners settled and worked in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, including Calumet.) There are conflicting stories about what happened that Christmas Eve and who yelled "fire" in Italian Hall. These conflicts may never be resolved. They are, according to Thurner, evidence of a "war between capital and labor" in the Copper Country in 1913. This war included a dispute about what transpired that Christmas Eve in

In this approximation we do not consider electron-electron interaction in a crystal. It is more difficult to treat electron-electron interactions than ion-electron interactions because: Electron-electron interactions are often weaker than ion-electron interactions due to the following: One major effect of electron-electron interactions is that electrons distribute around the ions so that they screen the ions in the lattice from other electrons. Electron-electron interactions may be very important for certain properties in materials. For example, the theory covering much of superconductivity

Had he not done so, the Japanese might have captured General Alexander and much of the rest of the Burma


title: "Blend modes" content: Blend modes Blend modes (or Mixing modes) in digital image editing and computer graphics are used to determine how two layers are blended into each other. The default blend mode in most applications is simply to hide the lower layer with whatever is present in the top layer. However, as each pixel has a numerical representation, a large number of ways to blend two layers is possible. The top layer is not necessarily called a "layer" in the application. It may be applied with a painting or editing tool. The top layer can also be referred to as the "blend


title: "Blend modes" content: layer" or "active layer". Most graphics editing programs, like Adobe Photoshop and GIMP, allow the user to modify the basic blend modes - for example by applying different levels of opacity to the top picture. In the formulas shown on this page, values go from 0.0 (black) to 1.0 (white). This is the standard blend mode which uses the top layer alone, without mixing its colors with the layer beneath it: where "a" is the value of a color channel in the underlying layer, and "b" is that of the corresponding channel of the upper layer. The result is most


title: "Blend modes" content: typically merged into the bottom layer using "simple" (b over a) alpha compositing (making the actual formula formula_2), but other Porter-Duff operations are possible. The compositing step results in the top layer's shape, as defined by its alpha channel, appearing over the bottom layer. The dissolve mode takes random pixels from both layers. With high opacity, most pixels are taken from the top layer. With low opacity most pixels are taken from the bottom layer. No anti-aliasing is used with this blend mode, so the pictures may look grainy and harsh. Within Adobe Photoshop, dissolve mode uses a pseudo-random seed


title: "Blend modes" content: to generate a noise pattern at application launch, where each pixel location in a 2D raster array is assigned a gray value. As the opacity of the top layer is reduced, discrete gray values are switched from an alpha binary value of 1 (e.g., "on") to 0 (e.g., "off"), meaning that image pixels corresponding to a gray-valued pixel in the raster array are either visible or transparent, with no opacity gradation. Multiply and Screen blend modes are basic blend modes for darkening and lightening images, respectively. There are several different combinations of them like Overlay or Soft Light (mentioned further


title: "Blend modes" content: down) and Vivid Light, Linear Light and Pin Light. Multiply blend mode multiplies the numbers for each pixel of the top layer with the corresponding pixel for the bottom layer. The result is a darker picture. formula_3, where "a" is the base layer value and "b" is the top layer value. This mode is "symmetric": exchanging two layers does not change the result. If the two layers contain the same picture, multiply blend mode is equivalent to a quadratic curve, or gamma correction with γ=2. (For image editing it is sometimes more convenient to simply go to the Curves dialog


title: "Blend modes" content: of the software, as it gives more flexibility in the shape of the curves. Or one can use Levels dialogue — the middle number is usually 1/γ, so one can just type 0.5.) If one layer contains a homogeneous color, for example the gray color (0.8, 0.8, 0.8), multiply blend mode is equivalent to a curve which simply is a straight line. This is also equivalent to using this gray value as opacity when doing “normal mode” blend with black bottom layer. With Screen blend mode the values of the pixels in the two layers are inverted, multiplied, and then


title: "Blend modes" content: inverted again. This yields the opposite effect to multiply. The result is a brighter picture. formula_4, where "a" is the base layer value and "b" is the top layer value. This mode is "symmetric": exchanging two layers does not change the result. If one layer contains a homogeneous gray, Screen blend mode is equivalent to using this gray value as opacity when doing “normal mode” blend with white top layer. Overlay combines Multiply and Screen blend modes. The parts of the top layer where the base layer is light become lighter, the parts where the base layer is dark become


title: "Blend modes" content: darker. Areas where the top layer are mid grey are unaffected. An overlay with the same picture looks like an S-curve. formula_5 where "a" is the base layer value and "b" is the top layer value. Depending on the value "a" of the base layer, one gets a linear interpolation between black ("a"=0), the top layer ("a"=0.5), and white ("a"=1). Hard Light is also a combination of Multiply and Screen. Hard Light affects the blend layer's relationship to the base layer in the same way Overlay affects the base layer's relationship to the blend layer. The inverse relationship between Overlay

In China, double peonies were known and selected by around 750 AD, and around 1000 AD double varieties of roses were cultivated to form the China rose (one of the ancestors of modern hybrid tea roses). Today, most cultivated rose varieties bear this double-flower trait. Herbalists of the Renaissance recognized double flowers and
