Graphene substrate improves the conductivity of carbon nanotube network
in Chemistry
Scientists at Aalto University, Finland, and the University of Vienna, Austria, have combined graphene and single-walled carbon nanotubes into a transparent hybrid material with conductivity higher than either component exhibits separately

Transparent conductive films (TCFs) have many applications in touch screens, organic light emitting diodes and solar cells. These applications need materials that are strong, energy efficient and stable, which is why companies and researchers are interested in carbon-based materials. This applies especially to networks of single-walled carbon nanotubes, which are expected to replace the metal-oxide films that are currently used.
Graphene is the thinnest imaginable material, it is just one atomic layer of carbon atoms. Rolling this into a cylinder makes a carbon nanotube, which is better suited to carrying electricity in real-world applications. In an article published in ACS Nano, scientists at Aalto University and the University of Vienna introduce a hybrid material made by combining carbon nanotubes and graphene, which improves the conductivity of the film beyond what is possible when using each of these component structures separately.
Professor Kauppinen's group at Aalto has years of experience in making carbon nanotubes for TCFs. This new work applies the techniques they have developed to place densely-packed and clean random nanotube networks on graphene. "This is another application of the technologies we have developed over the past decades. Put simply, this work is about how the two materials are put together without solvents," Kauppinen explains.
In the study, the scientists used a process called thermophoresis to deposit nanotubes on prefabricated graphene electrodes. The hybrid films' conductivities were roughly twice as high as predicted.
The experiments conducted by the team at the University of Vienna, led by Jani Kotakoski, showed that the strong electrical interactions of graphene enhanced the flow of electrons between the nanotubes by encouraging charge-tunneling. The team used a scanning transmission electron microscope to look at the material on the scale of individual atoms, and saw that the van der Waals interaction between the graphene and nanotubes was strong enough to collapse the circular nanotube bundles into flat ribbons.
The lead scientist from the Vienna group, Kimmo Mustonen, explains: "This is really an ingenious approach. The charge transport in nanomaterials is very sensitive to any external factors. What you really want is to avoid unnecessary processing steps if your goal is to make the ideal conductive film." Mustonen adds, "It actually is quite remarkable. We of course knew that the interaction is quite strong. For instance, think of graphite; it is just a large number of graphene layers bound together by the same mechanism. Yet we did not expect that it has such a strong impact on conductivity."
The results provide opportunities to improve the conductivity of similar hybrid nanomaterials. The article was published in "ACS Nano" in September 2019.

Fact Sheet: Renegotiating NAFTA: Threats to Our Internet Freedom & Access
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was radically different from past trade deals that focused on traditional trade matters, like cutting border taxes. Instead, most of NAFTA's provisions granted new powers and privileges to multinational corporations. NAFTA was the first international trade agreement to include specific obligations related to intellectual property (IP) – patents, copyrights and trademarks. Far from encouraging "free trade," these IP terms actually blocked access and creativity by locking in long monopoly rights for Big Content, including the music recording industry and Hollywood studios, as well as pharmaceutical giants.
These industries were able to insert anti-consumer, anti-internet-user provisions because trade negotiations are done behind closed doors with hundreds of official U.S. trade advisors representing industry interests while the public is locked out. Under NAFTA rules, every country must conform their domestic policies to the pact's terms. And NAFTA's terms are not subject to change unless all three countries agreement. So public opinion may change, governments may change, but thanks to agreements like NAFTA, corporate protections remain shielded from democratic change. The result: Using NAFTA to lock in these forms of corporate protectionism has compromised cultural and educational sharing ever since.
Now with NAFTA renegotiations underway, the industry wants to lock in even more expansive monopoly rights and limit governments' regulation of the internet. Big Content and other corporations are pushing for new NAFTA rules that would restrict our access to information and educational resources, protect the big, established companies and stifle innovation. The internet is a growing, ever-evolving platform. Many rely on it for information. Increasingly, it has become a dominant marketplace. Governments must have the ability, now and in the future, to regulate it and protect users and consumers without having their hands tied by so-called "trade" agreements.

Q: How to use maximize groupbox using GUI in PowerShell? I would like to create a group box in my GUI form. I use windowsState maximized for my form. And I want to use the group box, and I need to make the group box also maximized but combine with margin and padding. So the size and position of the group box will not change even the resolution screen change.
I tried this, but it does not work.
Anyone can help me. Thank you.

Five-term incumbent Bob Brady (D) ran for another term after losing his bid to be mayor of Philadelphia. He was challenged by businessman Mike Muhammad (R). This race was viewed as noncompetitive, as it took place in heavily Democratic Philadelphia. Brady ran unopposed in 2006 and has generally received over 80% of the vote in his campaigns. CQ Politics had forecast the race as 'Safe Democrat'. Brady defeated Muhammed by a nearly 10 to 1 margin, winning 242,799 to 24,714, or 90.8% to 9.2%.
Seven term incumbent Chaka Fattah (D), who was unsuccessful in his bid to be mayor of Philadelphia, ran without major party opposition. Liberal Republican law professor Michael Livington won the Republican primary, but dropped out of the race due to lack of funding. He was replaced by Adam Lang. This seat is contained in one of the most Democratic districts in the country, with Democrats often winning 90% of the vote. In 2006, Fattah was elected with 88.6% support and in 2008 he won with 88.9% of the vote. CQ Politics forecasted the race as 'Safe Democrat'.
Seven-term Republican incumbent Steven Porter, the 2006 Democratic nominee, is running as an independent. CQ Politics forecasts the race as 'No Clear Favorite'.
English was tested in 2008. He represented a politically balanced Erie-based district that gave George W. Bush 53% of the vote. Also, in 2006, he received just 54% of the vote against an under-funded candidate with no political experience. He has, however, been able to remain a level of popularity due to a moderate voting record and close ties to organized labor.
The DCCC recruited Erie County Councilman Kyle Foust as its top choice to run against English. Dahlkemper, Attorney Tom Meyers, and religious nonprofit program coordinator Mike Waltner also declared for the Democratic primary.[1] Dahlkemper proved better at mobilizing support than Foust, the original front runner, and won the Democratic nomination with 45% of the vote.
Dahlkemper defeated English 146,846 to 139,787 or 51.2% to 48.8% to capture the seat. It was the only seat in Pennsylvania to change parties in 2008.

Democratic incumbent Jason Altmire again faced Republican Melissa Hart. CQ Politics forecasted the race as 'Leans Democratic'.
In 2006, Altmire defeated incumbent Hart in a 52% to 48% upset. Hart had won 63% of the vote in 2004, when George W. Bush carried this suburban Pittsburgh district with 53%. In 2006, Pennsylvania was perhaps the most disastrous state for incumbent GOP House members, who lost four seats here. Hart ran unopposed for the Republican nomination in 2008 and attempted to use her public service credentials to regain her seat. She previously gained a reputation for appealing to moderate voters despite a conservative track record. She again lost to Altmire, this time by a wider margin than two years prior, with a 56–44% vote.
Altmire maintained close ties with organized labor, possessed experience with the health care issues that are important in a region with an older population, and was supported by the NRA.[2]
Democrat Mark McCracken, Clearfield County commissioner is running against Republican and Centre County GOP chair Glenn "G.T." Thompson in this open seat election. James Fryman represented the Libertarian Party. CQ Politics forecasted this largely rural district as 'Safe Republican'.
Republican John Peterson announced his intention to retire on January 3, 2007, paving the way for a contentious open seat election. Nine Republicans were in the race for the nomination. Four men emerged as top tier candidates: Thompson, hotel developer Matt Shaner, financial consultant Derek Walker, and former Woodland Township supervisor Jeff Strohmann. Also on the Republican ballot were mortgage broker John Kupa, Clarion mayor John Stroup, Elk County coroner Lou Radkowski, former Centre County commissioner Chris Exarchos, and minister Keith Richardson.[3] Thompson won this hard-fought 9-way primary with just 19% of the vote, in large part due to the late endorsement of Peterson who got involved in the primary campaign 10 days prior to election day. Walker and Shaner proved to be superior fundraisers and aired numerous television and radio commercials to counter Peterson's endorsement of Thompson. The Republican primary included many personal attacks, with Shaner targeting Walker as being political incompetent and Walker referring to a DUI incident involving Shaner. Walker and Thompson were very close in the polls on Election Day, but Thompson received a late boost because of his political track record in Centre County, the district's population center.
McCracken, Lock Haven mayor Richard Vilello, and Bill Cahir, a journalist and Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq War, battled for the Democratic nomination.[3] McCracken won 40% in a hard-fought Democratic race that received much less attention.
Despite presenting an open seat opportunity, this race was always viewed as safe for the Republicans, who have generally won over 65% in this district. Prior to 2006, Peterson had previously ran in three straight elections without Democratic opposition.
Thompson won with 56.7% of the vote (155,513 votes) to 41.0% for McCracken (112,509). Fryman garnered 6,155 voted or 2.2%.
Three term Republican CQ Politics forecasts the race as 'Republican Favored'.
Gerlach has become used to winning close elections, having survived threats from governor's assistant (and son of the former US Senator) Dan Wofford and attorney Lois Murphy in 2004 and 2006 with approximately 51% each year. The district is a classic swing district that went to John Kerry with 51% in 2004. However, Roggio did not have the name recognition nor the funding that Murphy had when waging her campaign, which made his candidacy more difficult than past challengers.
However, due to the tough environment in 2008 for Republicans, and the fact that Democrats outnumber Republicans this year for the first time in this district, the race was close.[5] In addition, Gerlach has had some trouble shaking a connection to ousted Republican leader Tom Delay, who provided contributions to Gerlach through his PAC.
However, Gerlach has a relatively moderate voting record and is seen as a tough campaigner who is knowledgeable in the suburban issues that are important in his district.
Gerlach once again held on and won the election 179,423 (52.1%) to 164,952 (47.9%).

Incumbent Democratic nominee Joe Sestak defeated Republican nominee Wendell Craig Williams, winning 59.6% of the vote.[6] In 2006 Sestak defeated incumbent Curt Weldon, who was being investigated for misuse of campaign funds, by 56% to 44%. Sestak used his military credentials as a retired vice admiral to present himself as a strong leader and as an ethical alternative to a Republican Party that has faced scandal within his district. Because of his moderate voting record, reputation as a tireless worker, and military background, Sestak was expected to have a large advantage over any Republican opponent in 2008. The NRCC initially had trouble finding any top-tier candidates, and eventually settled on Iraq War veteran and attorney Craig Williams.
Democratic incumbent Patrick Murphy, an Iraq War veteran, won against Republican nominee Tom Manion, a businessman and retired Marine, and Independent Tom Lingenfelter. CQ Politics forecasts the race as 'Democrat Favored'.
Murphy narrowly won in 2006, when he unseated one-term Republican Mike Fitzpatrick by 1,518 votes. Manion, a retired Marine Colonel and executive at Johnson and Johnson, ran unopposed in the Republican primary in April. Significant national attention has been drawn to the race because of the Iraq War connections of both candidates. Murphy is a veteran and a strong critic of the war, while Manion, whose son 1stLt Travis Manion was killed in Iraq in April 2007, supports the war.
This district contains Bucks County and a small part of Northern Philadelphia and Montgomery County. Once considered a safe Republican district, it has recently been trending more Democratic. Registered Democrats narrowly outnumber registered Republicans as of August 2008, due in large part to voter registration drives connected with the Democratic presidential primary in Pennsylvania.
Three term campaign website). CQ Politics forecasts the race as 'Safe Republican'.
Democratic incumbent Chris Carney defeated Republican staffing company executive Chris Hackett by a margin of 56% to 44%. CQ Politics forecasted the race as 'Leans Democratic' prior to Carney's victory. The win on the part of the Democratic congressman coincided with John McCain winning 54 percent of the vote in the district as opposed to Democrat Barack Obama's 46 percent.
Carney was initially thought to have been facing a difficult reelection bid in this heavily Republican district, which he won after widely-publicized allegations of incumbent Republican Don Sherwood's extramarital affair with and alleged abuse of Cynthia Ore. Carney defeated Sherwood 53% to 47%. However, President George W. Bush won the 10th District 60% to 40$ in 2004.
Two Republicans fought for the nomination: staffing company executive Chris Hackett, who gained the endorsement of conservative organizations and manufacturing executive Dan Meuser, who has credibility as a disabled rights activist. While battling for the nomination, Meuser accused Hackett of wavering on his pro-life stance, while Hackett painted Meuser as associated with unpopular politicians. Hackett won a tough primary with 52% of the vote, which drained many of his resources for the general election.
Carney, throughout the general election, was the favorite to retain his seat but the vote was expected to be somewhat close. The traditionally Republican leanings of the district were advantageous for Hackett, but Pennsylvania as a whole has been trending Democratic recently, having voted for the Democratic nominee for President in every election since 1992. The state ultimately backed Obama that year by a ten-point margin. Carney also has a strong military background and used his membership in the Blue Dog Coalition, a group of moderate Democrats that promote compromise, as a boost.
Carney easily beat Hackett by a twelve-point margin and was aided by a stronger than anticipated vote for the national Democratic presidential ticket in the district. Whereas John Kerry and John Edwards in 2004 received merely 40 percent of the vote in the 10th district, Barack Obama and Joe Biden received 46 percent of the vote.

Twelve term Democratic incumbent Paul Kanjorski (D) is being challenged by Republican Lou Barletta, the mayor of Hazleton. CQ Politics forecasts the race as 'No Clear Favorite'.
Kanjorksi has generally won reelection easily, considering the Democratic leanings of the district. John Kerry won this district in 2004 with 52% and Kanjorski was reelected with 72.5% of the vote in 2006. However, he may face one of the toughest elections of his career against Barletta, a figure who made the national spotlight for the anti-illegal immigration policies he promoted as mayor. He was unopposed for the Republican nomination, and has national name recognition for his stance which may help or hurt him with different voting groups in the election. Kanjorksi has come under scrutiny for several comments he has made during the recent Congress, including his quote that the Democrats stretched the facts on the Iraq War to provide a bigger advantage during the 2006 election cycle.
Kanjorski will have the advantage because of incumbency and his close ties to organized labor. However, Barletta, who ran for this seat in 2002 and gave Kanjorski one of his toughest campaigns, should make the race interesting. Kanjorski has proven to be a superior fundraiser and the DCCC began airing commercials against Barletta and his hard line stances beginning in July. Name recognition may help Barletta overcome some of his disadvantage in cash on hand, but Kanjorski and Democrats in general are very popular in the population centers of this district.

Sixteen term incumbent John Murtha (D) ran against Retired Lieutenant Colonel William Russell (R), who won the Republican nomination after staging a successful write-in campaign.[7] CQ Politics forecasts the race as 'Safe Democrat,' but the race tightened after Murtha made well-publicized comments referring to Western Pennsylvania as a "racist" and "redneck" area.[8] Murtha's comments were spoofed in the October 25, 2008 episode of Saturday Night Live in a segment entitled "Sen. Biden and Rep. Murtha Say Crazy Things in Johnstown, Pa."[9] By October, Russell out-raised and outspent Murtha for a whole week.[10] Nevertheless, Murtha secured re-election by a 16-point margin. The district has a Cook Partisan Voting Index score of R +1.
While two term Democrat Allyson Schwartz is a target for Republicans in the 2008 race, her seat is expected to be relatively safe. She did not face a serious challenge in 2006 against Raj Bhakta in this Democratic-leaning district. 2007 Philadelphia mayoral candidate Al Taubenberger and state Senator Stewart Greenleaf pondered running on the Republican ticket, but did not enter the race. Attorney Marina Kats ran unopposed for the Republican nomination.[11] Kats is underfunded and without name recognition, while running against and incumbent with a deep warchest of funds, which presents a crucial advantage in an expensive media market. This seat is currently considered to be noncompetitive. CQ Politics forecasts the race as 'Safe Democrat'.
Seven term incumbent Mike Doyle (D) will run for another term. For the fourth straight election, Doyle will not face a Republican opponent, although Green Party candidate, professor Titus North, will be on the ballot for the second straight year. Doyle represents a district that gave John Kerry 69% of the vote in 2004 and his seat is considered to be noncompetitive. The congressman presents a strongly pro-union image, while avoiding hot button social issues, which allows him to remain popular and noncontroversial. CQ Politics forecasts the race as 'Safe Democrat'.
Republican incumbent Charlie Dent was challenged by Allentown Democratic Party Chair Sam Bennett. CQ Politics forecast the race as 'Republican Favored'.
Although Dent was targeted by the Democrats for a tough race in 2006, his seat was ultimately relatively safe in 2008. In 2004, he won only 53% of the vote against a political newcomer with no political experience, but did significantly better in his bid for a second term. His district covers the Lehigh Valley region and is politically marginal, narrowly going to John Kerry with 50% of the vote in 2004.
Lehigh County Executive Don Cunningham, and state Democratic Party Chairman T.J. Rooney declined to run for the Democratic nomination, leaving Sam Bennett as the sole member of her party's ticket. Bennett was not considered to be as strong of a candidate as Democrats would like, which helped this seat fall out of contention. Although Democrats have an advantage in registration in the district and that Pennsylvania as a whole is trending Democratic, Dent projects a moderate image. His relationship with popular liberal then-Republican Arlen Specter also aids Dent.
Six-term Republican incumbent campaign website) will also be on the ballot. CQ Politics forecasts the race as 'Safe Republican'.
Pitts had the worst showing of his congressional career in 2008, winning 55.8% of the vote. However, he represents a historically conservative district which gave 61% of its votes to George W. Bush in 2004, and has not attracted a top tier Democratic challenger.
Eight term incumbent Tim Holden (D) is running against Toni Gilhooley (R), a retired PA State Trooper who served for 25 years. CQ Politics forecasts the race as 'Safe Democrat'.
The 17th Congressional District gave George W. Bush 58% of its votes and has historically been dominated by Republicans. However, Holden upset the district's 10-term incumbent, George Gekas, in 2002 after being drawn into the district (he'd previously represented a Reading-based district) and hasn't faced substantive opposition since then. He is a member of the Blue Dog Coalition, a moderate group that promotes compromise among the parties, and is pro-life and against gun control. Gilhooley is a fiscal conservative, pro-life and pro-Second Amendment candidate who is mounting a strong grass-roots effort. Holden has used his overwhelming support in Schuylkill County, his home county, to make up for past deficits in areas such as Lebanon County and Dauphin County.
Three term Republican Tim Murphy is being challenged by Democrat Steve O'Donnell, a Monroeville health care executive. CQ Politics forecasts the race as 'Republican Favored'.
Murphy was reelected in 2006 with 58% of the vote against a little-known Democrat. He represents a suburban Pittsburgh district that George W. Bush won with 54% of the vote but that has a strong Democratic history. His campaigning skills have yet to be tested, with relatively easy wins in his three elections thus far, and he could be vulnerable.
The DCCC tried to persuade Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato to run, but he showed no interest in the race. Business consultant Beth Hafer, whose mother Barbara Hafer is a longtime state official, was then expected to be the front runner for the Democratic nomination. Insurance executive Brien Wall and Monroeville health care executive Steve O'Donnell also ran. O'Donnell won an upset victory with 45% of the vote in a somewhat under the radar election. Although O'Donnell should make the race competitive, Murphy has a significant advantage because of name recognition and a moderate image.
Four term incumbent campaign website), who was unopposed in the party primary. Platts represents a highly conservative district, which gave 64% of the vote to George W. Bush in 2004. Avillo, meanwhile, has raised very little money for his campaign. This race is expected to be noncompetitive. CQ Politics forecasts the race as 'Safe Republican'.

Our Council received more than 300 submissions on our proposals to manage visitor parking in Hahei - the gateway to the increasingly popular Cathedral Cove.
This is a huge amount of feedback from Hahei residents and ratepayers, the wider Coromandel community as well as visitors to our district.
The one-month public consultation on the proposals closed on Monday.
Over the next two weeks Council staff will analyse the submissions to determine the level of support for the two options that were proposed, as well as the reasons for and against the proposals. We'll also look into the range of other options people proposed in their feedback, including to make no changes to the existing parking rules.
The next step is for our Councillors to hear from the people who said in their submission that they wanted to speak about their feedback. This hearing will be on Monday 8 October at the Oceans' Resort at 18 Eyre Street in Whitianga at 9am.
Following the hearing, Councillors will deliberate on all the submissions we received. If Council decides that changes to the Parking Control Bylaw 2014 should be made, then these will be adopted at the Council meeting on Tuesday 30 October in Thames.
Any changes would be implemented in time for summer and the peak visitor season.
No parking allowed on entire streets or on parts of streets, including berms, with no exemptions for residents, by way of broken yellow lines.
In addition to any changes to the bylaw that may come about as a result of the consultation, we are already in the process of expanding the capacity of the Hahei Visitor Car Park from the current approx 200 spaces to more than 400 and encouraging visitors to use that. It is currently free to park there and will remain so for the 2018-19 summer, but Council may decide to levy a parking charge of up to $10/day at that site to help pay for visitor infrastructure improvements.
This week we learned our application to the Government's Tourism Infrastructure Fund for improvements in Hahei had been successful. $1,426,841 has been allocated for the Hahei Visitor Car Park upgrade and for improved walking connections between the car park and the beach.
This is what's drawing people to Hahei - Cathedral Cove.


The most famous kind of tea in Japan isn't leafy. It's the powdered green tea known as Matcha. A good cup of Matcha has a lot of health benefits and is basically a ritual in itself.
For over four hundred years Japanese people have been taking part in the tea ceremony called the chanoyu. This ceremony uses Matcha. Matcha tea has a rather unique texture and a fresh and sweet aroma, mixed with an astringent taste. Matcha tea is now enjoyed worldwide by tea lovers everywhere who drink it as a tea or mix it with other things to create unique smoothies and desserts.
Growing Matcha is a longer process than growing any other kind of tea. Matcha tea bushes need to be kept in the shade for a while as they grow. This shade growing period alters the make-up of the tea leaves and gives it a richer taste, and gives you a tea swimming in antioxidants and amino acids.
Extra attention also goes in to the processing of Matcha leaves. Matcha is actually produced in specialised factories that turn the tea leaves into a smooth powdered tea.
The stems and veins are removed from the leaves in the tea factory. What is left is then sent in to a mill that grinds the tea. Grinding the tea is a slow and precise process and it can take up to an hour to produce even just half an ounce of Matcha tea powder.
These processes do mean that Matcha has the most nutrients per cup than any other green tea. Or tea in general. The going estimate is that in a leaf tea you only get about 30-40 of the beneficial nutrients, such as vitamins and beta-carotene. On the other hand Matcha tea has almost 100% of the nutrients even after processing.
The result is that you get a green powder that doesn't dissolve in hot water like instant tea. What it actually does is create a layer of tea sediment at the bottom of the cup.
When you shop for Matcha take a look at the ingredients. There are many kinds of green tea sold in a supermarket but most of them aren't actually Matcha. Avoid any powdered tea that has sugar, milk products, or other stabilisers. Pure Japanese Matcha is made up of only, well, ground tea leaves. Nothing more or less. Matcha should also be bought the same year that it was produced, so look for the expiration date. While real Matcha is a bit costly the benefits it give you make it worth the cost.
So you've got your Matcha and want to know how to make it? Just whisk the powder with some hot water using either a tea whisk or a milk frother and you get the tea you want.
You can slip Matcha in to a number of recipes including, but not limited to, smoothies, cocktails, cookies, custard ice cream and cakes. It's pretty easy to make a smoothie with Matcha. Just mix some Matcha in to a cup with plain yogurt. Then add some fruit and or fruit juice, sweetener, and ice cubes if you like. The following fruit combinations are perfect for Matcha; mango and apricot, apple and raspberry, and banana and pineapple.
Here are a few more ways you can mix Matcha in with everyday foods.
You can put some Matcha in to a strainer and then tap out some Matcha on to whipped cream that you have with pie or hot chocolate. You can also dust it on to fruit salad and yogurt.
You can create a Matcha "mayo" for your sandwiches by mixing a teaspoon of Matcha with a quarter cup of mayonnaise. Blend everything until it's smooth and add some extra flavor using lemon juice.
Everyone knows you can add some flavor with sea salt. Add even more by mixing some Matcah in to the salt. That gives you not just flavor, but extra color!

Artful Musing
ARTFUL BLOGGER: Victoria Wonnacott's water-themed show both soothing and spooky
BY Paul Gessell
POSTED November 7, 2011 11:59 am
"Long shower" by Victoria Wonnacott.
The 1960 Alfred Hitchcock thriller, Psycho, left me with the life-long habit of always opening shower curtains with a degree of caution. Early in the movie, the actress Janet Leigh takes a shower in her room at the Bates Motel. Suddenly a hand rips open the curtain and stabs Leigh to death in what is still, in my view, one of the most terrifying scenes ever filmed.
I was a very impressionable 10-year-old when the film came to the Legion Hall of my small Saskatchewan town. We didn't even have running water in those days. Hence, in our house there were no showers and, thus, no shower curtains. Perhaps that made Leigh's murder all the more exotic and memorable.
With that bit of history out of the way, let me now proceed to the intriguing paintings of Montreal artist Victoria Wonnacott, one of the stars at Ottawa's Cube Gallery and the sister of Ottawa's celebrated photo-artist Justin Wonnacott. There is a new show of Victoria's work at Cube — don't miss it.
Victoria has a particular fascination with water, including her paintings of people taking showers on the other side of translucent shower curtains or pebbled glass walls. There are also paintings of people swimming, some as seen from below. Think of the view a shark might have as it looks up and sees a tasty treat treading water in a bright bathing suit. That's not a scenario as scary for me as the shower scenes, perhaps because I saw the film Jaws as an adult, found it rather tedious and decided the giant shark was a mechanical fraud.
Wonnacott's paintings are mesmerizing. For those of us freaked out by memories of Psycho or Jaws, it is impossible to view the paintings without a feeling of dread. What psychotic monster is going to open the shower door or, with teeth bared, rise to the surface of a swimming hole?
'Memories from the beach' by Victoria Wonnacott.
These feelings are difficult to escape despite the gentleness that otherwise cloaks these watery paintings of children swimming or adults showering. Those feelings are further complicated by the fact that we are essentially voyeurs in looking at these people showering and swimming. You feel guilty about staring at people in their bathing suits or birthday suits, yet you can't take your eyes off them. Who knows when the monsters will attack?
"Victoria Wonnacott has been part of the Cube Gallery since the doors opened in 2005," says a catalogue for the Cube show. "An artist without pretence or guile, her work is semiotic and conceptual while also figurative and representational. The overarching theme throughout Victoria's art is born of her own artistic, personal, and physical journey of and about water. 'We are born in water. It is fluid. It transports us. It can be a very peaceful place, a mysterious place,' she says.'We can be weightless and move in a way that is afforded us only in water or outer space.'"
Water can also be a place of death. Janet Leigh certainly seemed to remain wary of showers long after 1960. In 2000, when the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts staged an exhibition honouring the work of Alfred Hitchcock, Leigh came to the opening to pose for photographers with some of the sets and props used in the filming of Psycho. When she encountered the actual shower stall used in the film, Leigh opened the curtain and then refused to go inside. Instead, she delivered a silent scream, just like in the movie, but standing outside of the stall, where the world was deemed much safer.

This is the 15th lesson in a series of 27 hands-on lessons covering American History through 1865. This lesson focuses on President George Washington. I used this plan while teaching a 45 minute history class for children in Kindergarten, 1st, & 2nd grades. Each lesson includes a biography report, history notebook page, history song, our favorite children's books, YouTube video, a history joke, & a variety of hands-on activities to make each lesson engaging & memorable. Use these fun lessons with your classroom, homeschool, after-school program, or co-op!
3. Who is the head of the executive branch? (President) Does anyone know who our first President was? (George Washington) Read George Washington: First President 1789-1797 (Getting to Know the U.S. Presidents) by Mike Venezia.
This gives a nice overview of George Washington's life including his time as President. My children love this series that combines silly illustrations with historic paintings or photographs. The text amount is perfect for this age.
Describe Washington's face & clothing.
Does he look like a king? Why or why not?
6. Create George Washington Wheels: Where will I find Washington's name or picture? (Have children guess their answers before you show them the little pictures they'll be pasting on their wheels.) Allow children to cut these out themselves unless they need assistance. After they've added the brad to the middle, they can paste the wheel to the blank sheet of paper so they can place it in their history binders. If children finish early, they can color the pictures.
7. People loved George Washington & said wonderful things about him. Something they said a lot was how honest he was. They liked to tell a story about when he was a child, he chopped down his dad's cherry tree. He was so honest that he walked up to his dad & said, "Father, I cannot tell a lie. I chopped down your tree." This probably didn't really ever happen, but people sure did love that story! Whenever you see cherries, you can think about how honest our first President was. Pass out a snack of cherries.
8. Even though lots of people remember George Washington as being honest, he wanted to be remembered for loving Jesus. On his tomb he had inscribed John 11:25-26, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die."
9. Review: Who was our first president? (George Washington) What is something you learned about him today?

Joke: Why did George Washington have trouble sleeping?


The evolution of the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM) began in the 1930s with a founding focus on a single emerging modality and now boasts a position as the largest multidisciplinary-centered rehabilitation organization in the country. ACRM was first a medical academy for x-ray therapy, broadened to more physical therapies, then focused in on physical medicine, and finally extended outward again to address both physical and psychological issues. Core disciplines are medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and psychology. The door is not shut. Anyone can join.
Now a subset of the heterogeneous organization's membership is casting a broader net. Two years ago, they created the ARCM Complementary and Integrative Medicine Rehabilitation Networking Group. Under the leadership of chair Sonya Kim, PhD, CRC, BCB, multiple programs in their first, 2017 conference track were developed by Networking Group members and avidly attended. Former NIH NCCIH director Josephine Briggs, MD provided a plenary to introduce the topic to the conference's 3,000 plus attendees. A 2019 track is in development.
As one learns about the organization's functional values, the question that arises is: Why did forming a complementary and integrative section take so long?
Psychiatrist Rick Leskowitz, MD, editor in 2003 of the first book on complementary and alternative approaches in rehabilitative medicine and co-director for integrative medicine at the Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, recently put me in touch with his Spaulding colleague and integrative medicine co-director, Ariana Vora, MD. Vora is a physiatrist in the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School/Spaulding. She co-chairs of the ACRM;s Complementary-Integrative Medicine Networking Group and also co-chairs the ACRM Cancer Rehabilitation Networking Group's Integrative Medicine Task Force.
"The model for rehabilitative medicine is bigger than the medical model," Vora explained. She traced the growth and philosophy of rehab medicine back to the development of penicillin. The ability of people to survive war injuries and other major physical trauma created a new set of medical issues. People who previously would have died from infections were living. Soldiers returned from WWII with limb amputations, spinal cord injuries, and other physical and psychological injuries. Then the polio epidemic began. The physician credited as the field's founder, Howard Rusk, MD, took a lead in responding to these needs, inventing hard and applying soft therapeutics. The focus on functional outcomes was primary. Vora noted that, for example, Rusk famously broke with standards of the day by recommending exercise instead of bed rest for people with acquired limb deficiencies.
The Networking Group presently has 226 members with interest much higher. The group's 2017 sessions were well-attended. In addition to Kim and Vora, the interprofessional executive committee includes research scientist Patricia Heyn, PhD, physiatrist and acupuncturist Nicole Sasson, MD, occupational therapist and researcher Marianne Mortera, PhD, OTR/L, a massage therapist and researcher Jacqueline Tibbett, PhD, LMT, peer counselor Allan Tyson, MA, physical therapists and acupuncturist Sophia Chan, DPT, LAc, and psychologist Philip Appell, PhD. The Networking group is presently preparing to submit a new set of vision and mission statements for adoption. They aim to provide a leadership platform for facilitating cutting-edge complementary and integrative rehabilitation medicine (CIRM) research, practice and education to improve the wellbeing and quality of life of individuals whom the rehabilitation field serves.
While the delay in formation of the Networking Group is a mystery -given the range of values alignments with the functional focus of integrative health and medicine – what will be most intriguing is the rate of spread and uptake of the work of this committed, interprofessional set of leaders.

Keaton Henson
Petrichor (feat. Ren Ford) - Ren Ford
You Don't Know How Lucky You Are
A singer, songwriter, composer, and illustrator who rarely performs live due to chronic anxiety, Keaton Henson emerged in the public sphere in the early 2010s with the critically acclaimed debut Dear.
Originally self-released in 2010, the word-of-mouth response to its anguished, uncommonly intimate guitar songs led to a Sony reissue in 2012. He quickly expanded his musical palette, mixing in strings and full-band arrangements to 2013's Birthdays. After venturing into electronics for an eponymously titled 2015 release under the alias Behaving, Henson's seventh album, 2019's Six Lethargies, was an instrumental work for string orchestra that explored themes of mental illness.
Born in London in 1988 to actor Nicky Henson and ballerina Marguerite Porter (of the Royal Shakespeare Company and Royal Ballet, respectively), Henson began his career in music as an illustrator, designing album artwork for the likes of Enter Shikari and Dananananaykroyd. Though he worked on music of his own, he didn't intend it for public consumption. When he eventually did upload an album, Dear, to Bandcamp in 2010, it found a sizable audience by way of word of mouth and blogs, where Henson drew comparisons to such luminaries as Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, and Bon Iver. This drew the interest of Sony, which reissued the record in 2012.
With his anxiety extending to deep-set stage fright, Henson went to great lengths to find ways other than conventional touring to help promote his music. For his single "Charon," he hosted an exhibition in East London entitled Gloaming -- also the name of a graphic novel by Henson. The three-day installation allowed fans to enter one at a time and poke their head through a window, where he would play a song one-on-one. He later embarked on limited tours that saw him play to larger audiences, yet in small, atypical spaces such as museums, art galleries, and churches.
Henson's more expansive sophomore outing, Birthdays, arrived in 2013 on Oak Ten Records and Anti-. A year later, the songwriter released an album of instrumentals called Romantic Works, featuring cellist Ren Ford. His next project was a mix of electronics and experimental sound editing, which he issued under the alias Behaving in 2015. That same year, Henson published a limited-edition piano songbook/"visual memoir" with a set of eight previously unreleased songs called 5 Years.
His sixth studio album and fourth to feature his own cover illustration, Kindly Now (Oak Ten, PIAS) saw release in September 2016. It reached the Top 20 of Billboard's Heatseekers chart and spent a week on the album chart in the Netherlands. Following a world premiere in London by Britten Sinfonia, the instrumental album Six Lethargies arrived on Decca imprint Mercury KX in 2019. ~ Marcy Donelson & Scott Kerr, Rovi

Q: How can I choose a mysql table to insert data according to radio button? What's wrong in my jsp/java code?Why radio button don't work? I have two tables in mysql database, one for student and one for teacher. Both tables have the same columns.
The code below inserts data only to the teacher's table. If user selects teacher's radio button, then the sign up data should be stored in teacher's table. If the user selects student's radio, then the sign up data should be stored in student's table.What's wrong in my jsp/jdbc code? What will be a solution for that?
What wrong in this query.Why this query insert data in a only student table of mysql not in teacher2 table. either selected teacher/student radio button

A: I believe the problem here was not on the query but rather on the parameter gender value the conditional operator you've coded String table = gender.equals("teacher") ? "teacher2" : "student" was the one deciding on which table it should be inserted then you appends table variable together with its query, so my conclusion here is gender parameter was not returning "teacher" value which makes the table variable always "student". I suggest that you check first what parameter gender was returning.


During our regular research for potential link partners we find all kinds of interesting things. We find really great resources, really funny pages, neat articles, and basically a lot of information we never knew before. During the course of her efforts, my chief link builder discovered a new kind of captcha that I guess I missed when it first launched. I suspect some others may have missed this too which is why I thought I would point it out. The new kind of captcha forces you to engage with an advertisement in order to get your captcha code. Frankly it's brilliant. Annoying, but brilliant.
The company which launched this cool idea is called Solve Media (SolveMedia.com). According to Solve, their ads (compared to non-interactive static ads) increase brand recall by 111% and message recall by a factor of twelve. That's pretty significant. For more you can check out their white paper and look at examples ads on their site.
As an internet marketer I think this kind of advertising is a double-edged sword, at least for now. On one hand, it really does reinforce brand and message recall, but on the other it annoys the living daylights out of some poor sap that just wants to submit a comment form. Since brand recall is so high, and message recall is typically linked to the emotion elicited by the message, a user who is annoyed and inconvenienced by an advertisement may go away with a sour taste for the brand.
There are some kinks to be worked out with this new form of advertising (as shown in my screenshots below) but I think they really might be on to something here.
This type of captcha ad makes the user watch a short video, typically 15 seconds, to reveal the captcha solution.
A shot taken during the Bonobos captcha video advertisement.
The unfortunate ending to the Bonobos video ad. There's no captcha solution here.
This is a much better, much less inconvenient ad which gives you a quoted brand message in an image which is the captcha solution.
This video ad for a Camry is executed well. It's a high quality video with the caption solution apparent throughout the message.
The captcha solution for the Camry is displayed the whole time.


It's a bright and sunny Saturday morning. Mulder and Krycek are watching a cartoon… "The Smurfs". They sit on the couch eating cereal. Mulder has "Cheerios" and Krycek has "Lucky Charms". Both are wearing "Smurfs" and "Heman" pajamas.
These Lucky Charms are good.
They continue to watch "The Smurfs". There is a beat of silence between them… we only hear "The Smurfs"… then they laugh.
Moments later, the phone rings.
Mmm… let me get it.
Mulder runs to the phone in the other room. Krycek continues to jam Lucky Charms into his mouth.
Um… sure, we'll both be there.
The line goes dead. Mulder hangs up.
Mulder walks back into the living room and plops back down next to Krycek. Krycek looks at Mulder waiting for an answer. Mulder laughs at "The Smurfs".
Mulder… what was that about?
Mulder and Krycek enter the restaurant. They actually got dressed up. Spender is already there waiting with Mulder and Krycek's blind dates.
He points towards Spender. Krycek follows his point.
Spender turns around and motions for them to come over. He has a big smile on his face.
He moves aside to reveal… The Magazine Girls… Mulder and Krycek are horrified… but are trying not to show it.
This is Fox and Alex.
Mulder and Krycek just stand there… not breathing… paralyzed for a moment.
Mulder grabs Spender away and takes him out of earshot of them all. Krycek follows.
Are you trying to kill us?
Mulder and Krycek look as if they might kill Spender.
Oh like you don't know!!
Mulder whacks Krycek over the head.
Spender has no clue what they are talking about.
They both have easily forgotten everything.
"Oh my god my hair"!
They both burst out laughing hysterically. Spender is watching them back and forth.
Mulder and Krycek abruptly stop laughing and look over at Spender.
a blind date. So come on.
Mulder and Krycek look to one another.
They start to walk off.
The two girls stand there with their arms crossed. Angela is tapping her foot impatiently… Farrah is playing with the gum in her mouth. Spender panics.
Ok guys. I'll pay you.
This catches Mulder and Krycek's attention. They stop dead in their tracks.
Fifty dollars each. Mulder smiles happily.
Krycek pulls Mulder away… they face away from Spender.
he is… we could get a lota money.
They start to turn away.
Krycek whacks Mulder over the head.
Mulder shrugs, he doesn't know… he just said a number.
Mulder and Krycek sit opposite of Farrah and Angela. The two girls are talking away.
I like wore a purple dress!
Could you excuse us please.
He gets up. They leave the table.
Krycek and Mulder burst in the room. Krycek looks panicked… while Mulder seems out of it.
We have to get out!
Krycek looks to the very small window that no one but Eugene Victor Tooms could fit through.
He whacks Mulder on the head.
have no more brain in me.
Mulder yawns, looks around and finds a seat. He sits. Krycek continues to look for a way out. He turns around and sees Mulder.
could fly out of here.
Mulder slowly lifts his head… as if he has no energy.
Krycek starts to look around again.
Krycek hears a thumb from behind him. Krycek slowly turns around… only to find… Mulder. Who has fallen onto the ground.
Krycek walks over to Mulder and shakes him.
Krycek looks at him deadpanned, and rolls his eyes. Then shakes him again.
He gives up and finds Mulder's cell phone… next to the bottle of pills. Krycek takes them both out of his coat.
He dials Mulder's cell phone.
Office of The Lone Gunmen.
Listen, I need you guy's help.
Krycek is pacing the bathroom… Mulder is now fast asleep on the ground.
hell… and we can't get out.
Langly laughs through the phone.
Yeah… ok. Where are you?
Three oddly dressed men walk through the door… The Lone Gunmen have arrived. Each of them are wearing goofy hats and trench coats. They approach the Reservation Man.
Frohike looks around before answering.
know where the men's room is.
The Reservation Man looks at all three of them.
The Reservation Man stares at them blankly.
where the men's room is.
The Lone Gunmen knock on the door of the men's room. Krycek opens the door in a panic. He looks around.
Krycek quickly grabs them in.
Mulder still lies on the ground sleeping. The Gunmen look down at him.
You have to help up!
The Lone Gunmen look to Krycek.
Maybe this will wake him up.
He pulls out a vile of who know what, and begins to pour it into Mulder's mouth.
taken a ton of sleeping pills.
They look back to Mulder.
He holds out his hand. Byers puts the vile in his hand. Krycek read the label. After a beat, he looks back to Byers… he seems pissed.
It says it puts people to sleep!
He takes the vile and reads it… Krycek is right.
He starts to pace the room… mumbling something in Russian. The Gunmen stand there thinking what to do next… though Byers seems more afraid.
Krycek stops pacing and looks towards him.
and get him out of here.
That Mulder O.D.ed on sleeping pills?
No… that he fell and hit his head.
to pull off being paramedics?
With that, Frohike runs out the door.
The Magazine Girls are still sitting at their table.
Is my makeup still ok?
Krycek approaches the table… the Lone Gunmen are in the b.g. wheeling Mulder out on a stretcher.
Krycek gives her an odd look.
The Magazine Girls look disappointed.
to bother you with it.
to get a liver transplant.
Yeah… so I've got to go.
He turns and runs toward the Lone Gunmen and the door.
The Lone Gunmen are helping Krycek carry Mulder into the apartment.
Geez, how much does he weigh?
INT. MULDER'S SIDE OF THE APT.
Byers and Krycek drop Mulder to the ground. They take deep breaths.
Should we move him to his couch?
Frohike and Langly leave for the kitchen.
They pick him back up off the ground and drag him to the pool table… they toss him on it.
he'll be out of it?
They join Frohike and Langly in the kitchen. They have already found some food.
Get Mulder taken care of?
They all laugh. Byers takes a bite out of his sandwich.
We didn't set this one up.
on a date with one of them before.
They sit there… guilty as charged. Byers takes another bite of his sandwich… crumbs fall on his beard… and they look like little creatures. Krycek laughs at him.
blind date for you and Mulder!

This April 1, Christians will be celebrating Easter, the day on which the resurrection of Jesus is said to have taken place. The date of celebration changes from year to year. The reason for this variation is that Easter always falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. So, in 2019, Easter will be celebrated on April 21, and on April 12 in 2020.
I am a religious studies scholar specializing in early Christianity, and my research shows that this dating of Easter goes back to the complicated origins of this holiday and how it has evolved over the centuries. Easter is quite similar to other major holidays like Christmas and Halloween, which have evolved over the last 200 years or so. In all of these holidays, Christian and non-Christian (pagan) elements have continued to blend together.
Christian writer, speaker and author Matt Walsh was protested by college staff and students, at Baylor University, who didn't want to hear a Biblical perspective on culture-shifting issues. How dare a Christian father speak Biblical truths about abortion, marriage and gender? That's "hate speech". This is intolerable in a day and age when many define their own subjective truth which, apparently, cannot be subjected to any level of scrutiny, no matter how civil the discourse.
