ARMER

Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response (ARMER) is the 800 MHz trunked public safety radio System used in the State of Minnesota. The system was developed to improve communication amongst emergency services during natural and man made disasters.

The statewide proposal was developed by the Public Safety Radio System Planning Committee (established by the 2002 Minnesota legislature) after a 2001 trial in the Twin Cities area. The original proposal scheduled completion of the network by 2011 but as of April 19, 2010 the expected completion date is 2013.

Criticism

The network came under criticism in 2008 by Ronald Vegemast, one of the original engineers working on the proposal. Vegemast raised concerns about the cost of the project and that the technology was already out of date. A spokesman for the Division of Emergency Communication Networks defended ARMER saying, "Will there be something better 10 years from now, there may very well be, but state and local officials will derive the benefits until there is something better."

Matsuo Bashō

Matsuo Bashō (松尾芭蕉, 1644 – 1694), born 松尾金作, then Matsuo Chūemon Munefusa (松尾忠右衛門宗房), was the most famous poet of the Edo period in Japan. During his lifetime, Bashō was recognized for his works in the collaborative haikai no renga form; today, after centuries of commentary, he is recognized as the greatest master of haiku (then called hokku). Matsuo Bashō's poetry is internationally renowned; and, in Japan, many of his poems are reproduced on monuments and traditional sites. Although Bashō is justifiably famous in the West for his hokku, he himself believed his best work lay in leading and participating in renku. He is quoted as saying, “Many of my followers can write hokku as well as I can. Where I show who I really am is in linking haikai verses.”

Bashō was introduced to poetry young, and after integrating himself into the intellectual scene of Edo (modern Tokyo) he quickly became well known throughout Japan. He made a living as a teacher; but then renounced the social, urban life of the literary circles and was inclined to wander throughout the country, heading west, east, and far into the northern wilderness to gain inspiration for his writing. His poems were influenced by his firsthand experience of the world around him, often encapsulating the feeling of a scene in a few simple elements.
