Taken from the Cork Review, June 1992.
Tomás Ó Canainn, uilleann-piper, recently retired as Dean of Engineering at UCC, dabbles in poetry. He is author of Traditional Music in Ireland and is music reviewer for The Cork Examiner. He teaches uilleann pipes at the Cork School of Music.
TOC: Professor Fleischmann, could you tell me about your compositions — why you started, what made you want to compose, when you started.
AF: When I was five or six, my mother used to give me piano lessons and she was very severe with me — I cried a lot at those early lessons: she was displeased with my lack of progress. I used to compose and she'd write down what I composed, as I couldn't, at that time: it was just trivia, of course, but I was already trying to compose at that age.
TOC: You were doing this at the piano?
AF: Yes. Years later, when I went to college, 1 still kept it up, apart from the exercises I had to do for old Lacy, the professor of Music. I wrote a number of songs and a movement for string quartet. Bax used to come to visit and stayed with us in the mid-twenties, when I was only fourteen or fifteen. 1 had the nerve to show him some of my stuff - or rather, my mother persuaded me to show it to him. Bax, of course, was terribly shy and wouldn't hurt anybody: you can imagine what he thought of my compositions, but he was very encouraging.
TOC: When were you born?
AF: 1910. In 1925 I was fifteen - and that was the year Bax first came to Cork.
TOC: Why did he come?
AF: My mother was on the Feis Maitiu committee and when it came to deciding on an adjudicator, Bax was a big name on the English musical scene, so she said: 'why not get a real composer, for a change?' They settled on Bax, which pleased everyone, but they were astonished when he agreed to come. In many ways he was unsuitable, firstly because he had to adjudicate in every field and, secondly, he wouldn't speak - and, of course, an adjudicator who doesn't speak isn't much good. So he didn't survive long as an adjudicator at the Feis, but that's how my mother invited him first to thehouse and we.bccame very friendly. After that he came every year to our house for a fortnight or three weeks, throughout thirty years. We used to bring him to the sea, initially to a cottage we had in Oysterhaven and then subsequently to one near Glengariff. He enjoyed this immensely: I used to drive him around, and one of his great hobbies was deriving placenames. He had quite a knowledge of Irish and, using the Joyce book on placenames, had great fun with his hobby. In an article I wrote about him, 1 pointed out that some curious motif would arise, perhaps out of a placename, and it would form a sort of fugue theme - so for the rest of the day we would be relating everything to this.
TOC: Where did you go to school?
AF: I went first to kindergarten, to St. Ita's, run by Miss Mary and Miss Annie MacSwiney. I remember Terence MacSwiney as a very benign person -to children especially; he'd talk very kindly to them.After St. Ita's I went to Christian Brothers' College. I left St. Ita's, by the way, because I got into trouble for pulling girls' hair! In Christians we had Tony Curtis (Bernard Curtis' uncle) for music. He belonged to an earlier era and was always quoting big names to us from his days in London. Tonic-solfa was what he taught, not staff notation - maybe that's the reason he was known as Tony. The favourite in our class was a fellow called Lawton, who subsequently became a Jesuit and eventually head of Clongowes. Curtis thought up a sight-singing competition, using tonic-solfa, for which there was a prize. Everyone thought Lawton would win it, but I just managed to pip him.
From the age of twelve I was sent to St. Finbarr's College, Farranferris, as my father was teaching there. He thought it would look bad for me to be in Christians, while he taught in Farranferris. I must say I was thrilled with the difference in approach; it was so liberal. The brothers were very severe: one of them - one of the best teachers there - was the very devil for the cane. If you missed a question, 'Line', he'd say, and you went and stood in line. At the end of the class, you'd get a wallop that would sting for ten minutes. There was another brother called 'The Bull', who'd get into frightful rages. One of the ringleaders of the class, a fellow who was always in trouble, broke open the teacher's desk, got hold of the leather, and we all trooped down to Patrick's Bridge and threw it into the river! On the whole, there was no such thing as a leather or caning in Farranferris, the majority there being boarders from rural areas, many of them sent in the hope they might enter for the Church, and so did not need the kind of discipline meted out to the tougher urban types in the Christian Brother' Schools.
I was a devil for work - a swotter - and not very popular for that reason! One day there was a practice hurling match, a challenge, and by ill-luck, what did I do but score a goal. They said I should be on the team for a coming big match against the seminary in Fermoy. I failed to hit a single ball, but I did hit the man 1 was supposed to be marking: so I was disgraced - on my one venture into sport!
But I did work hard at my studies. I remember an American in our class who was very clever and quick. He said to me: 'I'll beat you in this exam, and I'll not do a stroke of work. I bet I'll beat you.' He did nothing of the kind: I got three firsts in Ireland in the Leaving Certificate, and one second. Even that 'second' would have been a 'first', only that the fellow who got first had done the exam through Irish and, of course, had got a 10% bonus.
TOG What were the subjects?
AF: They were easy, of course: Music, German, History, and second in Latin.
In college I made a regrettable mistake in not taking Irish in First Arts: my parents thought I should do French, since I had German anyway, but Professor Mary Ryan wouldn't hear of it, since I had passed no examination in the language before, though we had a governess - a lady who came in to teach me French and some other things, apart from my schoolwork - so I had some French. I don't know why I didn't take Irish, but I took Logic as my fifth subject-we had five subjects in those days for first Arts. I don't think, still, that it was a bad thing to have done Logic.
TOG What were your five subjects?
AF: English, German, Music, History, Logic.
TOG What about your music at this time?
AF': Lacy was my mentor. He was of a Blackrock family - Frederick St. John Lacy. In his youth he got same disease and his feet never grew. He had a fine body and a fine head, but the lower half of his body was dwarf-like. He could only walk on crutches. Despite that he went to London. He had a good voice and was a very popular singer to his own accompaniment - so popular that he was made President of the prestigious Savage Club in London. He used to tell me about being host at a big dinner, when the Duke of Con-naught was his chief guest.
Once, when in London, I had an appointment with a librarian, from whom I was hiring music for my orchestra. He brought me to The Savage Club, on the walls of which were pictures of past presidents. Who did I see there but Lacy. So I said to my man, who was a member of the club: 'do you know who that president is?' (there were no names on the portraits) He checked with the secretary of the club, but nobody knew. I told him; 'that's Professor Lacy of UCC.'
Lacy was very pedantic: his lectures largely consisted of expounding Prout's book on harmony and Kitson's on counterpoint. Then you did the exercises and with enormous labour he'd play what you wrote, sighing and heaving, trying to get his hands around it. But 1 must say he was very devoted to his work and I got on well with him, gaining first honours in all the exams. One day his housekeeper let me into a big secret: 'you're going to be his heir and you'll be very well-off.' Some months later, however, the housekeeper answered the door, looking rather crestfallen, and said to me: 'I'm afraid he's fallen for one of his students and is going to marry her'.
He had retired at this time, so he must have been over seventy, though he still gave lessons. A singer of about twenty-eight fell for him completely - she worshipped him. They married and she sold off his library, an enormous one, and the College bought most of it. I had already got his job by then. Quite a number of the scores I now have derive from Lacy - I bought them from his widow.
Do you know, Tomas, the story of how music first came into UCC?
TOC: No, but I'm sure it's good!
AF: Sir Bertram Windle's wife was a singer. When they came to Cork, she wanted to continue lessons and asked who would be a good teacher. She was recommended to a man who had come back from London and was teaching singing. She went to him and was so impressed by him, his wide reading and his library that she said to her husband, who was President of UCC: 'you must create a job for this man.' So, very dutifully, he created a lectureship for St. John Lacy in 1906.
No student turned up for five years, so in 1911 Lacy went to the President and said: 'you can't expect students to come to a mere lecturer: if you make me a professor, I'm sure they'll come'. So he was made a professor, but still nobody came!
Eventually, Jeremiah O'Connor from Sunday's Well, the headmaster of the primary school there, became the first B. Mus. in 1916 or 1917. After that, there was no student until Donncha 6 Briain, another primary teacher, arrived. He was a man of radical views, who wouldn't accept anything Lacy told him. If Lacy said: 'consecutive fifths are out', Donncha would go back, get hold of a score of Palestrina and search until he'd find an example of consecutive fifths. He'd bring it to Lacy, saying: 'there now, what did I tell you?' They fought non-stop and finally Donncha walked out and became, eventually, this State's first Inspector of Music.
TOC: But he didn't get the B. Mus.?
AF: Not at all. He did something more important, though: he managed to get a completely philis-tine Department of Education to agree that forentry to the Training Colleges, intending primary teachers would have to be able to sing in tune and be able to master tonic-solfa.The good thing was that he had six inspectors working for him and they really did cover the country, inspecting all the schools.
TOC: When did you yourself start on music, as a serious study?
AF: I took Music in Leaving Certificate in 1927 and studied for B. Mus. at UCC from 1928 to 1931, then doing the MA in 1932. From 1932 to 1934 I was in Munich, at the State Academy of Music, and Munich University.
TOC: What did you do there?
AF: My father sent me there because he wanted me to succeed him as organist. My grandfather on my mother's side had been organist in the Cathedral, then my father, and he wanted me to be the third of the line, which was understandable. I took church music all right, but not organ. I was more interested in composition and conducting, to my father's grave disappointment, so I never qualified as a church musician, having specialised in composition, conducting and musicology in the University.
When I was in Munich I was very homesick and had an enormous appreciation of everything Irish, much more than 1 had before I went there. I remember doing a fair amount of free composition, quite apart from what I had to do for my professor, Joseph Haas. He was what the Germans called a Kleinmeister, a master of miniature music: he wrote a tremendous amount of chamber-music and songs, as well as one opera, but not much orchestral music. He was a very good teacher and a great inspiration to me.
I went through the whole rigmarole, up to fugue and five-part counterpoint, which I had done already in UCC, but he didn't do species counterpoint with his class, with the result that the fellows with me were really hopeless - they had no technique. I think species counterpoint essential for discipline. A fellow who was supposed to be one of the most talented in our class - and it was a big class of twenty, called a masterclass - wrote a motet for the Munich Cathedral Choir - that was the choir conducted by my father's friend. You should have seen the unvocal gimmicry which he expected the choir to perform - rather like the cerebral note-spinning which sometimes emerges at the seminars of our Choral Festival.
As regards composition, apart from what I submitted to Haas, I remember sitting at my piano in the hostel I stayed in, writing a suite. It was the first thing I produced that was published and it was performed at an Academy concert in 1934.
TOC: When you say a suite, what was the instrumentation?
AF: It was for piano. I remember when I was writing the slow movement, feeling suddenly, for the first time, that I was groping into a new kind of world, which I had never sensed before. It was an extraordinary experience - to be outside oneself, groping into an inner world.
TOC: And what was new about that world?
AF: What was new about it was that I didn't realise that I had the ability to explore uncharted territory - and it did mean that ideas came flowing out, almost without effort. I had a similar experience a couple of times after that, but not often, I'm afraid. Strangely enough, this was the case with the most recent work I wrote, Games, for the Choral Festival Seminar on contemporary music... you may remember it?
TOC: I do - it was a great success.
AF: The BBC Singers gave it a fine performance. That was the only work 1 ever wrote which gave me no trouble whatsoever: and you'd imagine that at the end of my days now, I'd find it harder and harder.... But this was the effect of the poetry, which I thought was marvellous.
TOC: Before this Suite for Piano in 1934, you had done other things when you were much younger. Had you done anything significant in the intervening period?
AF: Well, I told you I had written a movement for string quartet. My father, very decently, engaged four Munich professionals to play it for me.
TOC: That was while you were a student there?
AF: Yes, when my parents came to Munich to see where I'd stay and to make all the arrangements. I also wrote a motet which the Munich Cathedral Choir performed. 'Oculos Meos' was the title, I think.
TOC: For how many voices?
AF: Just for four-part choir. There was a newspaper report which wrote up a Bruckner mass and my motet and Lacy was as proud as Punch that his pupil was on the same programme as Bruckner!
It was on the boat coming back that I began to feel I was riding on the crest of a wave, as we approached Cobh, early in the morning. Ringing in my ears was that marvellous passage from Tristan - Die Irische Konigin (Irish Queen) - Iseult being a Dublin princess. I suddenly began to feel that I had a job to do here - that I should try and undertake to get a good orchestra going. I already had hopes of succeeding Lacy.
Before this, Annie Patterson, the lecturer in Irish music, had died and John Horgan, who was a solicitor and a friend of the family, said to my father: 'get that fellow back from Munich to apply for this job, because whoever gets it will get the chair eventually.' That was the advice, but I turned it down, firstly because I had no special qualifications in Irish music, and secondly, because I didn't want to interrupt my studies in Munich.
As a matter of fact, when I got back, Merriman, who was UCC President, summoned me and showed me the applications: one was from a Kanturk man who had been an avid student of Annie Patterson's. Annie O'Connor went for it too - she was the daughter of the first graduate. You remember her, do you?
TOC: Yes. Wasn't she a viola player in your orchestra?
AF: That's right. Sean Neeson was the third applicant. Merriman asked my advice, so I told him Scan Neeson was best qualified of the three. He got the job. Shortly afterwards, Lacy's time had come, because he had reached seventy. I applied, and I don't think there were any other applicants. That was in 1934, just when I had come back from Munich.
Chester had published the suite I was telling you about, and that was a big leg-up in applying for the job, apart from the fact that sections of my MA thesis had appeared in Die Zeitung fur Musikwissenschaft, the chief German journal for musicology. This had to do with the so-called Irish Anglo-Saxon neume-type. I later wrote the article in the new Grove on the Music of the Celtic Rite, and I drew largely on my thesis for that, too.
TOC: What was the situation in the Music Department then?
AF: It was just Sean Neeson and myself: Sean did an hour a week and that was it.
TOC: Did you have many students?
AF: Initially, two. Very, very gradually, it expanded. At first, we were in the library, in the Aula Maxima. We were allowed in after it shut at five o'clock. My hours were 5pm to 7pm: two hours a day, including Saturday. One day we were locked in - myself and two students, who were Joan Burke and William Shanahan, the violinist. We hammered and knocked at the windowpanes, to no avail. I went into the adjoining Council Room, where there was a window, and said to Billy Shanahan: 'take off your gown, my good man, hop out that window and get us out of this.'
TOC: Did he wear a gown?
AF: Oh yes; all students wore gowns and so did I. He blanched at the idea of jumping out the window, so I took off my own gown and jumped out. It was only a six-foot drop, but I sank deep into the grass. I brought my story to the President, as a reason why we'd have to get alternative accommodation and not be locked in at night, so he said: 'go and look for some other place in the college yourself.
I spied the observatory, with its two small rooms, one filled with instruments and the other just suitable for a maximum of four students - at a squeeze! The President agreed we could use it, but when we went in, 1 discovered there was a concrete pillar in the middle of the room, so that I couldn't get the piano in. The President agreed that the pillar should be removed and it was, but then there was hell to pay from Professor McHenry, Professor of Experimental Physics. 'Do you realise what you've done?' I was asked: 'you've taken away the main part of the seismograph, which goes thirty feet down into bedrock. The joke around College was that every time a bus passed along College Road, the seismograph registered a quake of force eight on the Richter scale.
But for us a grim situation now arose. All day long, from the Women's Club and from the Men's Club opposite, there issued a continuous stream of raucous singing and piano-playing, which made it impossible for anyone to concentrate. Eventually, we got a room in the east wing of the quadrangle, in the year in which Sean O Riada signed on as a student. Here we remained for five years, until real luxury was made available at the other end of the Wing, in the shape of four rooms - Bax Room, Library, my office and a lecture room, where the College Information Office is now. As numbers expanded even further, they gave us the Rectory, where the Music Department is still housed. I felt it absolutely essential that the students have practice rooms, so they built us six of them.
We had great trouble getting the UCC organ into St. Mary's, Shanakiel - and now the place is for sale or sold! I gather that Professor Sandon, my second successor, is entirely in favour of the removal of the organ to the Aula Maxima, where it would add to the solemnity of big occasions and make possible organ recitals, organ concertos and choral concerts with organ accompaniment. Now that the College is expanding with such confidence, perhaps the day will come when it will give its main hall a new resource, and will:—
"Let the organ blow
To the' full-voiced quire below."
Editor's note:
In the interview I did with Professor Fieischmann for the Cork Review, a short time before his death, I tried to get at the human person behind the energetic, sometimes stern looking academic and champion of music and all things cultural in Cork. Professor Fieischmann insisted on correcting the proofs of our transcribed interview when he was in hospital, though we both knew he was dying: he was keen to ensure that anything he had said could not be hurtful to others. On his death, I took the liberty of using the article as an obituary in the Cork Examiner. I feel I should now add some personal reminiscences of this great Irishman.
I first met Aloys in 1961 when I joined the staff of UCC. I had already heard of him during my days in Liverpool University, where there were a few research graduates from Cork. He was very encouraging when I sought permission to 'sit in' on some First Arts music lectures - Harmony and Counterpoint, given by himself and Irish Music, the course given by Sean Neeson. A few years later I decided to enrol for the B.Mus. degree, by which time Sean Neeson had retired and Sean 6 Riada nad taken up duty.
Students of those and subsequent days can testify that even when the Department expanded and took on more staff, Aloys still worked harder for his students than all the rest of them put together. Other staff were employed to teach us conducting or sight-singing, but the 'Prof' included all of these and more in his own very practical lectures, almost as a by product of his system. Hundreds of students experienced his kindness when they got into difficulties with the course but it must be said that he had little time for slackers. For him, work came first and enjoyment later - if there was time for it!
It is easy for a new generation to say that he should have concentrated more on the academic aspects of music, rather than on churning out music teachers for our schools, but I have no doubt he set the right targets for the Ireland of his day. Cospelling for the good of music was just a part of what he regarded as his duty and he could do it very well, persuading bishops, priests, nuns and lay-teachers that music was vital and should be studied by them -preferably in UCC!
In public life he was a man who relished a battle for what he considered right and was not above drumming up support in the most unlikely quartets, to back him up. Yet at other times he could be quite naive, almost innocent, in his views on government, taxation, trade unions or culture. That transparent innocence often proved a formidable obstacle for his enemies, whether in the columns of the national press or on television. One thinks of his various battles with RTE and the Government on one hand and on the other, his involvement through the Choral Festival with the Earl of Rosse and the British Ambassador, something which caused considerable local resentment at the time and resulted in crowds picketing his beloved Choral Festival.
Aloys was a chivalrous man - one who always made you feel you had done him a personal favour by attending a concert or recital - and not just those of his own orchestra. "Aren't you very good to come?" was his inevitable greeting. Whenever possible he turned away praise or else re-directed it to others around him, denigrating his own contribution.
Was there any branch of music in which he was not knowledgeable? The answer is a resounding yes. He considered jazz and pop an abomination, professing to be shocked by them. Even middle-of-the-road music passed him by. In this context I remember going to Dublin with him by train the morning after a wind ensemble had played in the Aula Maxima. As an encore they had given us the Scott Joplin rag that everybody was humming and every radio station was pumping out at least a dozen times a day at the time. He asked me what their encore had been and when I told him, he expressed surprise that the audience not only enjoyed it but, wonder of wonders, he seemed to know it! For him, jazz was 'execrable': nothing more needed to be said: the subject was finished: if you pushed him further you'd get words like 'savage' and 'uncivilised'.
He was always a formal person. While I was doing the B.Mus. he insisted on addressing me in class as Dr 0 Canainn. In those days I probably handed up less harmony homework to him than the rest of the students in our small class and, as I have already pointed out, he was keen on work being done - and well done. One of my classmates, Mary O'Callaghan, decided to re-christen me 'Doctor Dolittle', which 1 thought not inappropriate. Aloys pretended to be shocked by Mary's new name for me, but I think he enjoyed it. It was only when I joined his staff after Sean 6 Riada's death that I became Tomds he gradually turned into Aloys. My wife Helen was always Bean Ui Chanainn to him, even when he visited us a short time before his death.
One small incident that occurred some twenty years ago reminds me of his determination. He was due to go to Dublin to conduct the RTE Symphony Orchestra, but decided on the evering before he was to travel that his large lawn needed to be cut and had to be done straightaway. While he was doing it, he put his hand into the rotating machinery and was seriously injured. He was taken to hospital and, notwithstanding many pleas, insisted on going to Dublin to fulfil the engagement. I think he travelled by train, but I would not have been surprised to hear that the man who conducted the RTE Symphony Orchestra that day, with one hand holding a balon and the other bandaged into his chest, had steered his one-handed way to Dublin, gear-changing with his knee! He was that sort of man, really.

Decking and Landscaping
Maxted Construction can assist in the creation and design of your outside living space. Maxted Construction specialise in bespoke timber outhouses from garden sheds to ornate summerhouses, decked and social areas, paving and landscaping works.
An example of the type of works that can be completed by Maxted Construction are shown below. In this instance; the client required a safe and child friendly environment at the rear of their property leading into the garden for their young children; where the existing defective decked area required replacing.
Maxted Construction completely demolished and removed the existing defective decked area; and replaced all structural timbers by concreting into the ground for maximum support and strength. This then gave the necessary grounds to build upon. The project then moved onto decking inclusive of handrails and spindles around the perimeter, inclusive of a staircase into the garden. A gate was also installed to enable the family to keep safe when required. The photos below show the before and after decked area. If this is something you would like as an addition to your property then please do not heistate to contact Maxted Construction for a competitve quotation.
Testimonial: We are the happy owners of a lovely new veranda built from scratch by Maxted Construction and would highly recommend them to others wanting something similar. As a family with young children, and with previous experience of bad builders, we needed someone who visibly took pride in their work, listened to what we needed, kept us informed of progress and design options along the way, and who took their shoes off when they came in to the house. And that is exactly what we got with Maxted Construction. Together we designed a beautiful, family friendly space that is well built, easy to maintain, and even has a gate to stop the kids escaping. The team were friendly, courteous and hard working and we wouldn't hesitate in having them back.

Morning Assembly
- Christmas Aid and the Nørre G run
Christmas Aid
First up on today's Morning assembly were Signe 1w and Jakob 2d from KFS (Christian Association for Students) Who presented their Christmas Aid project of donating Christmas presents to children who would otherwise not receive any.
On Monday 4 December, a Christmas tree with read hearts will be set up. Here you pick a heart representing a gift for a specific child, buy a gift for DKK 150-200, and hand it in to Signe and Jakob during the following weeks. They will then take the gifts to the church where the children will have their Christmas party. To make sure that all children on the list receive a gift, only take a heart if you intend to donate. Make a group or class collection to make it easier to afford the donation.
The Nørre G Run winners
Second - and last - on the agenda were Nina and Mikkel. They presented the winners of the Nørre G Run, which took place on 25 October. All students in 3g ran routes of 2½, 5 or 10 km.
5 km Christian og Rasmus from 3y at 20.40 min.
10 km Valdemar 3e at 43.40 min.
5 km Cecilie 3t at 25.00 min.
10 km Isabella 3w at 53.10 min.
Class with most km
In 3c the students had run an average of 5,36 km pr. student closely followed by 3m with 3,19 km.
Altogether the students of 3g ran 1,111 km – almost all the way to the Eiffel Tower in Paris!!

Calligraphy, the Artistic Writing of Japanese Language
Japanese calligraphy, or shodo in Japanese, is an artistic style of writing that has evolved in Japan for hundreds of years and is taught in elementary schools around Japan as part of the national curriculum.
Japanese Calligraphy, the Cultural Aspect
In modern times, calligraphy (shodo) has become an increasingly high-end art in Japan where one of the artistic and popular highlights is kakizome, which literally means calligraphy written at the beginning of the New Year. Kakizome is the popular practice of writing auspicious kanji by calligraphy at the beginning of the year.
Indeed, most school-going children (up to high school) will receive homework to welcome the new year by mastering certain auspicious kanji over the New Year school break. There is even a popular calligraphy competition held on January 5th in central Tokyo at the Nippon Budokan Hall, to find the best calligraphy artists among thousands of eager competitors from all ages.
Japanese Calligraphy, Give It a Try!
For foreigners visiting Japan, trying to write calligraphy is an especially fun and fruitful experience. Around Japan, there are usually calligraphy classes available every week at the government run community centres where groups hold a variety of classes.
When learning calligraphy, the first steps are understanding how to hold the thick brush that is used to create the characters and how to use the correct posture. When writing Japanese kanji characters, it is also important to follow a specific brush stroke order which is usually from top to bottom and left to right.
In addition to learning calligraphy or study kanji at community centres, there are also a number of websites that offer you the chance to immerse yourself in such an experience. These are "experience" sites such as the world popular TripAdvisor, and new comers Voyagin, and Viator among others.
With these websites, it is easy to search for calligraphy experiences in any area throughout Japan and decide on the kind of calligraphy class that best suits you. Without a doubt, heading back home after a trip to Japan with some of your own handwritten calligraphy will be a great way to show off to your friends and family.

studied for their potential applications in opto-electronics, given their distinct structural and
electro-optical properties. Laterally stacked TMD heterostructures are crucial components for
constructing p-n junctions, light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic devices, and tunneling transistors. A
large scale and controlled growth of these lateral heterostructures is necessary to exploit the
TMDs potential for applications in flexible nanoelectronics. The objective of this research was to
optimize the growth of laterally connected semiconducting MoSe2-WSe2 and MoS2-WS2 bilayer
heterostructures, using the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technique. This synthesis method is
relatively simple, and allows the fabrication of single and multiple junction heterostructures with
the change of the carrier gas supplied during growth. Through Raman and Photoluminescence
characterization, the heterostructure samples were examined to confirm chemical composition,
structural homogeneity, and distinguishable interfaces of the TMDs heterojunctions. The optimal
conditions for the bilayer growth of MoSe2-WSe2 and MoS2-WS2 heterostructures were established
and the growth was repeated to corroborate effective replication.

Massacre at Point of Rocks is an historical fiction, a gripping tale of historic events along the Santa Fe Trail. In 1849, Santa Fe trader James White took his family ahead of the slow moving caravan to rush his wife and child to safety and comfort in the city of the Holy Faith of St. Francis. He was met near Point of Rocks by Jicarilla Apaches. This is the first time their side of the story is told explaining how and why Ann White and her daughter were abducted. The event could not be ignored. Soon all New Mexico was roused and numerous rescue operations were under way. Buffalo hunters, Comancheros, Indian agents, and multiple military patrols sought her. A reluctant Kit Carson was recruited to go to her rescue. Only he could find the trail and follow it for 200 miles. Kit Carson found himself and his friends embroiled in a war not of his choosing.
Massacre at Point of Rocks is also the tale of a young man who goes West to meet his hero, Kit Carson, then at the height of his fame and popularity. He is disappointed with the short, soft-spoken Carson, but learns through numerous adventures to appreciate the famous scout as a real and special man. The story takes the reader into Jicarilla villages and ceremonials and through the paisano towns of the Rio Arriba. The background to the story is the real New Mexico of 1849 recreated so that the reader may understand the men, their times and their challenges. The Santa Fe Trail comes to life.

Interview with Matrix Games
2008.04.20. 00:00 | szerző: Lacko | Interjú
Matrix Games is mainly focusing on games for hardcore wargamers, and their portfolio is constantly growing with titles that may not offer the best visual experience, yet gives fantastic gameplay to gamers. Our questions were answered by a variety of members of the Matrix Games staff: Sean Drummy (PR and Marketing Director), Erik Rutins (Director of Product Development and Business Relations), and David Heath (Director of Operations, Business Development and Acquisitions).
PC Dome: How did the story of Matrix Games begin? Who started the company and what was the initial goal?
David Heath: We founded Matrix Games from our own funds because we as gamers felt that our market was not being as well-served as it could be by the publishers that were then in existence. Matrix Games has been in business for well over seven years now, and each year we grow as a company and as gamers. The most important philosophy of our company is we love what we make. We're gamers first and then we take our love of games and put them into our products. The result, we believe, has been a tremendous success. Our company goal is to reignite a passion for strategy games and wargames. We feel that every day we are in business and are helping gamers revisit great strategy games of the past or getting new gamers into the fantastic genre of wargaming that we are accomplishing our goal.
PC Dome: Do you remember where did the name of the company come from?
David Heath: The word "Matrix" in Matrix Games actually comes from some of the concepts found in the movie of the same name. I liked the idea that there was computer code in everything around you in the "matrix." If you look at the Matrix Games introduction video found at the beginning of every title release by Matrix, you will see that our company logo is surrounded by computer code. This somewhat copies the computer code idea from the movie.
PC Dome: How did you decide that you'll focus on the smaller audience of hardcore, demanding gamers who prefer strategy/tactical and similar titles?
David Heath: Matrix Games has always been committed to bringing back the glory of wargaming and hardcore strategy gaming. The fact that we have grown substantially for each year we've been around is proof that there is a large community of gamers who do enjoy the very specific focus we take on the titles we publish and we're more than happy to bring them the types of games they want to play. Everyone who works for Matrix Games has a strong background in wargaming both in board games and on the PC. If you combine the years that just the top three members of the company (Erik Rutins, David Heath, and Marc Schwanebeck [Director of Art & Production, Webmaster]) have been playing wargames you would have over a century worth of experience!
When I made the decision to publish to a "hardcore" audience, it wasn't a marketing decision that I carefully arrived at by trying to find the best way to make money. I just knew that I wanted to make and publish the types of hardcore strategy games that I love and I knew that my passion for what I do would make the rest happen. And I'm very happy to say years later that I was right.
PC Dome: How does it feel to be a smaller, independent publishing company, and what do you think of the battle of the big ones like EA, Ubisoft, etc., while they are also purchasing smaller companies? What do you think of the current gaming market, and of your position in it?
Sean Drummy: Our size relative to the industry giants doesn't really affect us in any way. We're concentrated on a very specific group of gamers within a gigantic mega group of people that play video games. We very rarely publish a product that comes even close to the target demographic of EA, Ubisoft, or the like. So while technically we're in the same business with the publishing giants, in practice we operate in completely different circles. Obviously the market for hardcore strategy and war games is not nearly as large as the market that plays games like Guitar Hero. But that's OK for us. We are very successful at marketing to the specific group of people we publish games for and that's all we're interested in doing.
PC Dome: Most of your developers are small teams of enthusiastic gamers, do you think they could manage to stay alive with their works?
Sean Drummy: Absolutely, I think that while the market for our type of strategy games may not be as large as the market for Halo 3, this doesn't mean that there aren't enough fans of our genre to sustain it. Our very success and existence proves that the wargaming and strategy genre is substantial in size and is growing every day. We work tirelessly to maximize the number of people who are introduced to and interested in wargaming and strategy gaming and our success in building a strong community of such gamers makes it easier for developers to find an audience. Although in some cases this is a "second job" for developers, in many cases this is their primary work and that percentage is increasing.
PC Dome: Who do you consider your actual competitors? (e.g. Battlefront.com, Strategy First?) What's your relation to them?
David Heath: We tend to spend all our time focusing on making our releases as good as possible rather than worrying about the competition. We think it's healthy for wargamers and strategy gamers to have several publishers to go to, but we also feel that at this point our selection of war and hard core strategy games is the most comprehensive of any current publisher.
PC Dome: What are your plans for the near future?
Sean Drummy: Matrix is starting to get fired up for our summer traveling schedule. Every summer we travel to a variety of conventions and shows to spread the word about our products and to give gamers a chance to meet both Matrix staff and several developer teams in person.
As for the titles we have on the launch pad for the near future, I can't say much about what exactly will be coming out this summer but rest assured that the main convention we attend, Origins in Columbus, Ohio, USA, will be anything but dull. In addition to the highly anticipated War in the Pacific – Admiral's Edition, we have a few other special titles on the way out too… :-)
PC Dome: Could you tell us something about the new product classification system, with the new game editions? Why did you choose to start this?
Erik Rutins: I'm glad you asked that! Because we have been in business for several years and have gone through some changes in our production processes, the Matrix Games Store has a variety of physical game packages and the goal of this system is to make it easy for the customer to know what they are getting. With the roll-out of printed manuals in early 2007 for new releases and some old releases, customer feedback requested more information on which titles now have printed manuals and which do not. The new Edition Logos are an effort to make it easier for customers to inform themselves regarding what each game box contains.
The new system breaks the physical game packages into three distinct editions. Each game only has one edition. The editions are as follows: Digital Express Edition (a game which comes with a color electronic PDF manual only), Standard Edition (a game which comes with both a printed black and white manual and a color electronic PDF manual), Collector's Edition (the same as a Standard Edition with the exception that the printed manual is in color rather than black and white). The Collector's Edition will be the least common and will be rolled out later in the year for two new releases and perhaps one or two titles in the existing catalog. It is designed to give some of our higher priced titles a little something extra.
PC Dome: Matrix Games is the publisher for a Hungarian developer team, Hussar Games. What do you think of them, do you like their games?
David Heath: Well if we didn't love Hussar's work then we wouldn't be publishing them! Matrix Games only publishes games they believe are true works of passion for gaming. Hussar's titles are no exception to this rule. Since its release late last year, Napoleon in Italy has been well received by both critics and gamers, especially those who have an interest in Napoleonic history.
Erik Rutins: It's been a real pleasure working with Bulcsu and his team to make Napoleon in Italy the best that it could be. We think they have a very historical and very fun system that has been flexible enough to model three separate conflicts to date.
PC Dome: Thanks for the replies.
Sean, Erik, and Dave: Thanks for the opportunity to speak with you! ■

This full-pager ran in the L.A. Times Envelope section about a week or so back. It focuses on how priests and the catholic church are depicted in movies, and how the portrayals have shifted over time. From the positive and complimentary films of the 40s and 50s (think The Bells of St. Mary's), to the more scathing critiques of today (like Spotlight).

Apart from that it will also help in minimizing the number of employees in payroll. This is important since the employees are entitled to some tax and legal obligations as this may lead to additional charges. You can save a lot of money by having few employees on the payroll as their number will mean that you will be paying additional fee to the revenue authority and other legal organizations. You find that professional janitorial companies are always working on contract on which you will not need to put them on payroll. It will be more economical and convenient if you hire professional janitorial services than if you employ individuals in your company to do some cleaning work.
It is also convenient to hire professional janitorial services. The good thing with these cleaning companies is that their cleaning services are aimed at causing no interference as they schedule the right cleaning time. You find that these specialists can even carry out cleaning activities at night when all the people are not there and no production is being pushed. With this the company will not make any lose as the daily activities will continue as planned since these janitorial companies don't want to be seen as a liability. But with the individuals they may interfere with the business activities as they operate like regular employees who work within a given time schedule. See the best information about cleaning services
Another major advantage of hiring professional janitorial services is the quality of service that they are providing. This is because of the vast experience and skills that they have in handling cleaning work. They are able to identify some dirty places that ordinary people cannot see. Apart from that they are also thorough in cleaning work and once they are done you will see a very big improvement. The professionalism is not only seen in what you can do but also the tools that you are using to achieve it.

Throwback Thursday: Eric Owens, Master Class
On October 22, 2015, I attended a master class by bass-baritone Eric Owens, at the Manhattan School of Music.
Some of the pearls of wisdom he offered the students and audience were:
- When a piece of music is beginning, you the singer know what the character will say, but the character doesn't know (or shouldn't know). So, your stance has to reflect this element of spontaneity and realism - your gaze, your posture, your eyes, your energy should support this angle of freshness of interpretation.
- Breaths you take should be like a note in the musical phrase.
"Step one: When you perform, imagine the theatre is filled with 2,000 of your closest friends."
- Dynamics build a phrase: if you start out in the middle of the messa di voce, you have nowhere to go.
- When you present something to the public, you need to introduce both yourself and the pianist. Say, "We will be performing _____." You begin the piece by readying your position (doing your prep); don't nod to the accompanist to signal that you are ready. Just be poised, and begin.
- Singers have a tendency to make the high notes harder than they actually are. Why?
- "Legato means many things: vowel color has a lot to do with it."
- Hearing the orchestra is more important than seeing the conductor, because when you're on the opera stage, you must hear the orchestra. If you can't, tell them to turn the monitors up.
- Everything that comes out of your mouth has to be something you choose, not something that happens by chance.
- When you put more /i/ in the u vowels, you brighten them and get a more focused quality.
"All the vowels sleep in the same bed."
- Some notes need to sound more like leading tones. Know where and why the notes you sing are there. Are they leading tones? Are they resolutions?
- Don't color your voice to "sound" like an opera singer!
- "Intonation comes before diction any day of the week."
The amount of time you sing a syllable puts the accent on it.
On the stage, you don't think about phrases and high notes. You're the character. You can't bring your practice mania on stage with you.
If you sing Wagner like Mozart you'll be heard over the orchestra: less is more.
When you work really hard, you hinder the sound, and you don't get heard as easily.
There is a such thing as the Rossini mafia and the Wagner mafia, where if they're casting, they think of 5 people.
Business likes to put labels on you real fast, because it makes their job easier. Not being labelled makes it hard to get called. Most of the people who make it big early on are known for a specific thing.
"The answers are not in the practice rooms -- They're in life."
In all, this was a fabulous master class. Eric Owens had lots of pearls to share, and he was also humorous and attentive to his students, at one point even singing an impromptu duet with one of them near the end of the night. I hope you enjoyed his pearls. Maybe there's enough there for you to go make a necklace!

Anybody who spends any significant (or insignificant, quite frankly) amount of time around me knows I have a weakness for all things pretty...
So you can imagine how excited I was when the opportunity came to feature this lovely lady. This was a no-brainer for me.
Everyone, meet Miss Penny Taylor.
Now everyone, meet Penny's online boutique, Lucky Penny Earrings.
Go ahead and snoop around on her boutique's facebook page...or you can just take it from me...they're pretty cute!
Shirt c/o: Kohls-LC by Lauren Conrad, Pants c/o: Old Navy Rockstar Jeans, Shoes c/o: Steve Madden, Bracelets c/o: Old Navy, Forever 21, Earrings c/o: Lucky Penny Earrings
A few of the things I love about Penny's boutique is that everything is handmade, she's open to custom orders, and she also offers a guarantee, should there ever be any problems with your earrings needing repairs or replacement beads. Penny is also so great about delivery. If you live even remotely close to her, Penny hand delivers, yes, hand delivers your order to you. Otherwise, she's happy to ship it to you. Contact her via her boutique site on Facebook and send her a message about which earrings you'd like to buy, and you can either pay her at delivery, or via PayPal. It's that easy!!
Penny is not only willing to give away earrings to one of you, but she's also got this whole "everyone a winner" mentality, and for the next week, if you mention my blog while placing an order on Penny's site, you get 10% off of her already really affordable prices. Which is great if you're like me, and a broke joke.
So, here's how it works, ya'll:
An entry for the Lucky Penny Earrings giveaway (and by the way, I'm looking at the giveaway prize right now, and trust me, you want this) consists of the following:
- You must be a follower of my blog.
- "Share" this post on facebook.
- "Like" Penny's Facebook Boutique
An additional entry can be made for commenting on my blog about why you'd like these earrings!
The contest will close and a winner will be chosen at random on Friday, April 26th. I will notify you, and you will have 72 hours to claim your prize, or I another winner will be drawn.
Good luck, everybody! Hit me up with questions!

10,000 Meals
Ten thousand meals. That's what I figure I've served my family over 30 years of marriage and 20 years of parenting. In the time it took to make all those meals, I could have written a novel, learned to play the piano or started a small non-profit. Instead, I fed my family.
Mostly, I was happy to do this. I puréed baby food, marinated tofu and peeled potatoes. I sent my two daughters to school with sandwiches wrapped in neatly folded biodegradable wax paper. I lit candles every night at dinner because I believed the supper hour held special curative powers that would bond our clan as well as keep vitamin deficiency at bay.

I can't find that form in your account, I presume you are referring to a different form or a sample form.
I have another workaround that might suit you. Here's a test form that I have: https://form.jotform.com/60425807621957. See if that is something that would work for you. You can clone it to see how I have set it up.
Here's how to recreate that:
1. First, I'll recreate your products and categorize them. Here's a guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/264-Create-Sub-Products-Based-on-a-Product-Option
2. In my case, I separated them in two categories, "Category 1 - Brown" and "Category 2 - White".
3. In the sub product listing, you can actually add the HTML <img> tag on it. Here's mine:
4. After that, we'll follow the guide on how to make the product listing in multiple columns. I have already shared it on the original thread, but for reference, here's the link to it: http://www.jotform.com/help/235-How-To-Have-Two-Column-Payment-Form
The only difference that I made on the CSS code is setting the float value from "center" to "left". Here my CSS code:
.form-product-item {
border : 1px solid #EFEFEF;
margin : 1px;
float : left;
width : 253px;
.form-product-item + br {
display : none;
br + b {
float : left;
padding-top : 20px;
.form-payment-total {
line-height : 50px;
margin : 1px;
border : 0px solid #EFEFEF;
border-radius : 4px;
padding : 15px;
padding-right : 193px;
padding-left : 6px;
Noticed in my test form that each product opens and closes, would you like that to remain or you want each category to be open always?
Let us know if that will somehow work for you. I understand that we have already provided different ways on how you can do this, I hope we're not confusing you. It's best to have a lot of options, depending on how your form works.

The very first solo show "Einzelausstellung" of turkish artist currently based in Hildesheim, Germany, Burçak Konukman, will take place at the Vasistas-project space in Dresden, Germany on 4th July at 7 pm.
The exhibition shows a collection of personal pieces in a personal as well as political context of the artist through performance, video and photo installation. For Konukman art is pilgrim, a voyage and a seek of engram as the artist himself states. The solo show "Einzelausstellung" at the Vasistas-project space will show not only art as pilgrim but also the artist as pilgrim between turkey and germany. A costume party in a summer camp, where the Konukman family was dressed as super hero (his father), clown (his mother), rabbit (his sister) and he-man without a sword (the artist himself) was the first performance of Konukman and from this point he took the inspiration for all of the following steps in his journey. The poem performance together with Valentin Peitz in Berlin 2015 is a part of the family-inspired work as well as the vintage jacket his mother gave him.
A suitcase full of art is traveling with him from Turkey to Germany and is also running with him from the army with a little help from his superhero family. His journey took him to Hildesheim in Lower Saxony where he put bottle caps on his vintage jacket. Burçak Konukman is an artist with questions that are more than just focused on individual fulfillment. As an outsider of Europe he want's a feedback as shown at the 1 hour video documentation of a think-tank about the EU, Germany and Greece. Because of his life as a traveling artist, Konukman experiences the world from a different point of view as a in a local life in turkey. Sometimes, he says, he wonders about why he recognizes the EU more than his own country. His art is a way to figure that out, to learn and to make all his experiences visible and somehow his parents opened this path in his life to do art. "This exhibition is so personal", he says and further "and my art is absolutely personal".
For that he dedicates the exhibition to his art-supportative friends and his superhero family who aren't just heroes but also performers. Step by and be the guest of the guest-man who is a guest, which is what Konukman means in English. Burçak Konukman is part of the featured list of www.vasistas-magazine.com, a platform for young artist to show and tell about their artwork and occasionally get exhibited as in this case. During the time of his MA studies of cultural management at Bilgi University he decided to go to Germany and takes part at the Erasmus exchange program of the department of Cultural Studies and Aesthetic Communication at the University of Hildesheim. He is known for his interdisciplinary video and photo installations with life performances and site specific interventions.
The co-founder and codirector of Germany based İPA (international Performance Association) İstanbul is the Art Director of the "Platform Young Performance Artists" – festival which took place in İstanbul in 2012,2013 and 2014. Opening of the exhibition is on 4th to 19th July at Gewerbehof Jagdweg 1-3, 01159 Dresden, Germany. For any further information feel free to contact email@example.com. Vernissage: 04th July, 7-10 pm Duration: 5th – 19th July Openings: friday – sunday: 4-7 pm Presscontact Miriam Koch E-Mail: email@example.com

A lot of bloggers set themselves a challenge to last throughout the year ... whether it may be a calendar page for each month, or a Christmas card a week, or anything else - all are brilliant ideas and I've been wanting to set myself a challenge too. The challenge I settle on has to be something I can pick up and put down on a whim as sometimes time is tight, and not too in-depth, complicated or time consuming and something that can be a bit varied so I don't lose interest. The challenge I'm setting myself is to knit/weave/crochet a scarf a month for the next year. It doesn't sound too taxing does it, but it will enable me to hopefully learn new techniques without adding any stress of having too much to do, maybe even knitting on 'proper' knitting needles (ha!), and if I do more than one in a month it really doesn't matter!
So what will I do with the finished articles? As of yet I have no idea (next years Christmas gifts??) there's plenty of time to sort that out yet! In the meantime it will be interesting to find out what challenges others are setting for themselves!

Better Sleep
Better Sleep - Doing What Comes Naturally
Thank you to those who joined Barbara Mariposa in her talk 'Better Sleep.' Here is a little reminder of how to take this inspiring information home with you to bed! For those who did not make it, we hope these top tips will prove useful for you also!
Top Tips
1. Manage your energy levels and emotions so stress chemicals don't build up through the day - give yourself time to recover and rebalance your physiology after an upset.
2. Dial down the pressure. Press Pause through the day and take one minute once an hour (1 x 1) to practise heart-focussed breathing.
3. Build rituals to power up at the beginning and power down at the end of the day and stick to them.
4. Bookend your day - Ikagai (a sense of purpose ) in the morning, and w.w.w. journal (what went well journal) at bedtime.
5. Get an alarm clock and get up when it rings - don't hit snooze. Do not calculate how much sleep you got.
6. Declutter your mind. Write down all the things that you are carrying in your head before you get into bed. Write down any things you need to do tomorrow. Let the paper carry them for you.
7. Make sure your bedroom is a haven for relaxation. Dark, warm, quiet, comfy, digital-free.
8. In bed, scan through your body from toe to head, including face and eyes, and if you find areas of tension, imagine them warming, softening and expanding.
9. Know your own mind. Label what kind of thoughts are occurring on repeat and file them away in the appropriate box. e.g "work" thoughts, "family" thoughts, "about me" thoughts, "regret" thoughts, "self-critical" thoughts.
10.Use the 4 x 4 breathing technique to generate an internal state that allows recovery and repair even if you are not fully asleep.
11. Remember that sleep is a natural function that you cannot lose - the more you let go of tension around it, the better it will be.
