"Abstract painting speaks a language of its own, and therefore demands more of its spectator ", writes Travis Jeppesen. Also abstract are the works of Berlin artist Pius Fox, who currently has a solo booth at VOLTA New York. His works are characterized by softly colored layers and geometric forms. In his interview with Sabrina Möller, Fox talks about his paintings, his great respect for large formats, and about zombie formalism.
What made you discover painting?
When I was still at school, I mostly dedicated myself to music. Later I attended an art school where I felt free to express myself and I began to try out new things. My parents were from East Germany and at some point, my mother took me to an artists' group in West Berlin and I painted there. Those painters and their group did of course influence me. All those connections and encounters brought me closer to painting and to art in general. The first art books I borrowed from the library when I was about 10 or 11 years old, were about Monet and van Gogh. What fascinated me about them were the colors. However, I only started to take painting seriously when I was 17 years old.
Your works show an increasingly abstract tendency. While your earlier works used to show figurative elements, your new works are characterized by a purely geometric vocabulary of forms and layers of colors.
In the past two years, I did two decisive abstract paintings and I also started to think in more abstract terms than before. In the past, my abstract works used to be a result of failed figurations. I still work hard to succeed at figuration, though. I have a couple of portraits that have been sitting in my studio for a while because they simply don't convince me. Sometimes I'd like to use a more concrete language, and work in a more figurative way. It's unbelievably hard to convey what's beyond the visible.
And that takes a long time. There's a lot of dead, grey, figurative painting around. To succeed at drawing such as the ones by Hans Holbein for instance, that's art.
Your earlier works show very clearly how much you're influenced by the architecture that surrounds you. To what extent are your surroundings present in your latest works?
I take my surroundings, for instance my studio, as a reference. Over the last year, I've done a lot of work with photography. I've reworked my own pictures among other things. For me, photography is a possibility to approach the visible in a different way, to hold on to it. Historically, this has been the role of photography: to replace painting in its portraying function.
You work with a great quantity of layers of color which you apply in a rather coarse manner. Can you describe the whole process, starting with the motive, and culminating with the finished painting? Do you start out with a concrete idea, or does the work develop on the canvas or paper?
It depends. There are works where you just don't know what you're going to do. But there are other works where the desire and its realization go hand in hand. The process of failure plays a fundamental role as well.
Are the different layers of color and their overlapping the result of repetitious failure during the work process?
You can't generalize- every work is different. From the moment where I work with larger formats, I'm forced to focus even more on the process and on my technique. I keep on asking myself how the old masters conceived and painted their works. Those pieces are very much controlled and yet extremely lively. You could compare them to a good performance. The way in which those paintings are constructed is true art, and this reflects in the work process. While working with larger formats, I've found myself forced to dedicate more though to the construction of my works. How do colors acquire their livelihood? What are the relationships between the colors?
What's very atypical, is that you use oil to paint on paper. The material structure of paper creates a certain challenge. Why do you find the work with oil on paper so interesting?
What makes me opt for paper often has to do with the format I'm working with, and with how direct this material is. Both paper and canvas have their advantages and disadvantages. Currently, my tendency is to move away from using oil on paper. This has to do with a question of presentation. In the beginning, I attached the oil papers to the wall. Their flatness creates a certain window effect while their surface remains directly perceptible. Nowadays, I'm opting for canvas and wood, for practical reasons, because paper is a material that tends to deteriorate quicker, and because wood and canvas give me more options to prepare my surface. Wood offers both a hard surface, and a pad for the paper.
Your works demonstrate a clearly aesthetic dimension. What 's the role of aesthetics in your works?
Aesthetics play an important role for me. In politically explosive times, it's only natural, that I keep on asking myself how relevant an aesthetic experience is. Still, it continues to be a main driving force for me. Kant described this special relationship with the world, and marvellously defines all the aspects that I consider to be part of an aesthetic experience.
Lately, abstraction and decorative painting have been linked to zombie formalism. What's your take on the ease with which critics catalogue abstract art within this category?
To a point, this critique certainly has its justification. Abstract artists keep on asking themselves: "Is this just about aesthetics, or is there something more?". That's why we have to criticize the critics for failing to formulate an alternative. Where's the dividing line between aesthetic and non-aesthetic art? What would the contrary be?
If we attempt to draft a counter model, confronting a beautiful, but empty art with an art of rich content, things become difficult. The same type of discussions have taken place in minimal art. The history of art is filled with aesthetic art and the accusation is by no means new, or unjustified. However, it is completely irrelevant both for the artistic practice and the result of its evaluation. While World War II was ravaging Europe, Matisse and Morandi kept on painting their "little pictures". And they were criticized for it. For a good reason,- the question here is whether or not these categories are constructive. There's the type of artist who attempts to escape from the world, and the kind who pursues a concrete change. To me, the spiritual component of art is of paramount importance. But it's just as important to keep them apart. Not because of what I consider to be right or wrong, but rather because that's how my personality works. To express yourself through the material, to exhaust your intellect and your practical skills on it. Or to subject art to an imperative of content, to force a meaning onto a work, seems just as problematic to me. You may just as well accuse this art of being the wrong medium for political or content related change.
What's good is that the critique won't accept art as being supposed to be just beautiful or supposed to be following certain trends. What bothers me, is that the critique and everything it stands for tends to divide form and content into two opposing camps.
Do you see it as a problem when art fits well in your living room?
Observing the intricate mechanisms of the art market, sales, recognition, and the hierarchy of artists, you of course start to wonder about the meaning behind it. Some people probably simply derive pleasure from looking at art. They buy it, and in the best case they develop an intense relationship with the work they own. And sometimes, you end up sharing something that you intended to convey through your work. That's ok and part of the artistic process. But this would be the ideal scenario. In reality, there are many other aspects that are problematic.
If you had to pick a work that influenced your development, what would your choice be?
I think it would be "Constantine's Dream" by Piero della Francesca. What captivates me is its clarity on one side, and the atmosphere and poetry on the other side. The angel's daring flight, his literal plunge into the painting, the guardians' dreamy calmness as the stand around sleep, watching over him, and the light, all this allows for the dream to expand.
Thank you!

When it comes to refined evil, you couldn't have got a better casting choice to play the nefarious Count Dooku than the icon that is Christopher Lee- no stranger to inhabiting characters of dark and influential vice, be they the charismatic blood-sucker Count Dracula or the corrupted Saruman of THE LORD OF THE RINGS. My only regret about Lee's participation in the second (pictured on set in conversation with George Lucas) and third STAR WARS Prequels is that he just wasn't in them enough...

No, there isn't an alternative for tabindex in Netscape, it is just that they haven't implemented it. (This is better than having different elements that work in different browsers).

Craft Beer Scene Around Rockford: Tyranena Brewing Co.'s Bitter Woman IPA does namesake proud
By Michael Sears
President, Forest City Brewers
Greetings, fellow beer geeks.
This week, I would like to talk about an American IPA from behind the Cheddar Curtain near Madison, Wis., in Lake Mills, Wis. The brewery is Tyranena (pronounced Tie-rah-nee-nah) Brewing Co. and the beer is Bitter Woman IPA.
Tyranena Brewing Co was founded in November 1998 and began operations in October 1999. Before this spring, Tyranena beers were not available in the Rockford area. The brewery has a tasting room and beer garden, but no restaurant. They do have food carts on some evenings and on Fridays during the summer they will have personal-size, wood-fired pizzas. Picnics and grilling are also welcome, but you must bring your own food and utensils. Check out their website for details at http://tyranena.com/.
Bitter Woman has a hefty hop bill utilizing Magnum, Cascade and Amarillo hops, at 68 IBUs (International Bittering Units), which is the upper end of the scale for an American IPA. According to the website, the namesake is Aunt Cal, an early resident of Lake Mills. Rumor has it she was the sweetheart of American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Aunt Cal never wed. The brewers of Tyranena say this beer is a tribute to the way she may have been, very fruity and intensely bitter.
Bitter Woman is available year round, packaged in bottles, and at 5.75 percent alcohol by volume, this is a beer you can have a couple of in one sitting.
This beer is to be served at 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit according to the website, in a Nonick or standard pint tumbler. I, once again, am using my Perfect Pint glass to get the full effect of the hops.
The beer pours a slightly hazy, but brilliant, burnt orange color with a huge three-finger depth of rocky white head, which settled to a good one-finger depth and eventually a thin layer, leaving a sticky, spotted lacing as it receded throughout the entire glass. There is some decent carbonation activity for the style.
The aroma starts off biscuit and a tiny bit of caramel, exhibiting its malt backbone. Some light (very light) hints of pineapple and peppery spices waft up briefly, and then the pine/resin and grapefruit citrus take over.
The first taste presents a mix of maltiness at the front, which is hard to pinpoint, as the aggressive hops overshadow rather quickly. The hops hit all at once, making it difficult to discern, although I do get some spicy, grapefruit and pine flavors, which finish out rather bitter.
The mouthfeel leans more to a medium and slightly creamy body, and the carbonation is appropriate for the style. The dry finish creates the desire for a second drink — and then another.
My overall impression is that Bitter Woman is an easy going malt forward IPA that should be enjoyable for the novice and for the well-seasoned IPA drinker as well. Aunt Cal should be proud.
Michael Sears is president of the Forest City Brewers. The Forest City Brewers is a homebrewing club dedicated to the art of finely crafted beer. The club meets the first Wednesday of each month at Thunder Bay Grille on East State Sreet. For more about Forest City Brewers, go to http://forestcitybrewers.org.

ALBANY, Nov. 16 — Governor-elect Eliot Spitzer will almost certainly ask the State Senate to remove Comptroller Alan G. Hevesi, who used a state worker as a chauffeur for his ailing wife, after the new term begins in January, people involved in the discussions said on Thursday.
Mr. Spitzer, the attorney general until the end of the year, is awaiting the outcome of three inquiries into Mr. Hevesi's conduct — including one by his own office, from which he has recused himself — before he makes a final decision.
But the governor-elect is inclined to push for Mr. Hevesi's removal based on information disclosed in a scathing State Ethics Commission report issued last month, the people involved in the discussions said. Those people spoke on condition of anonymity because Mr. Spitzer's decision is not final.
"While a personally painful decision, it's an easy decision because the facts are clear," said one person with knowledge of the governor's thinking on the issue. "What would the drive for greater accountability and a higher ethical standard mean if you tolerated that level of abuse? He will move swiftly and aggressively to remove him."
Christine Anderson, a spokeswoman for Mr. Spitzer's transition team, had no comment.
Mr. Hevesi, in a statement issued by his office in response to questions for this article, said, "Honest concern for my wife led me to make a mistake for which I have apologized.Continue reading the main story
"Knowing the facts, millions of New Yorkers elected me by an overwhelming percentage to serve another four year term as comptroller," he said. "That is what I intend to do."
Mr. Hevesi, who, like Mr. Spitzer, is a Democrat, reimbursed the state $82,688.82 for the cost of the driver after the issue became public in late September. A few days before the election, Mr. Spitzer's office asked him to place an additional $90,000 in an escrow account pending the outcome of its investigation.
The Legislature can remove a statewide elected official in two ways. The Democratic-controlled Assembly could vote to impeach Mr. Hevesi. A trial would then be held in the Republican-controlled Senate, which would be joined by judges from the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals. A two-thirds vote would be required to remove him.
Under the second procedure, the governor could call the Senate into session. A trial would then be held, and a two-thirds vote would be needed to remove Mr. Hevesi.
Because Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat, has been supportive of Mr. Hevesi, Mr. Spitzer is more likely to refer the matter to the Senate, whose Republican leaders have called on Mr. Hevesi to resign. Many Democratic senators are also likely to be swayed by the new governor, who just won election by a record margin.
The Senate has never removed a statewide elected official from office under the second of these procedures. If it chose to do so with Mr. Hevesi, its action might be subject to legal challenge, some political analysts have said. In 1913, the Assembly impeached Gov. William Sulzer, and he was removed after a trial in the Senate.
If the Senate removed Mr. Hevesi, the governor would choose his successor. But if Mr. Hevesi resigned, the Legislature as a whole would choose his replacement, giving control to the Democrats.
Mr. Hevesi had been somewhat buoyed by his re-election last week, when he handily beat a largely unknown candidate. Whether he would submit to a trial in the Senate is unclear, and many people in Albany expect him to resign first.
Aside from the inquiry by Mr. Spitzer's office, the Albany County district attorney is conducting a criminal investigation of Mr. Hevesi and Gov. George E. Pataki has hired a lawyer to review the recent Ethics Commission report, which suggested Mr. Hevesi had broken the law. Mr. Pataki is not expected to act before his term ends on Dec. 31.
For Mr. Spitzer, the matter has not been an easy one, since Mr. Hevesi was until recently a close political ally who helped him design his fiscal policies. The issue has also divided Democrats. Some, like Mr. Silver, have criticized the Ethics Commission process.
But Mr. Spitzer ran on a platform of raising ethical standards in Albany and revamping the way the gridlock-prone state government does business. He believes that Mr. Hevesi cannot continue doing his job with his credibility undermined, people involved in his discussions said. Shortly before the election, Mr. Spitzer withdrew his endorsement of Mr. Hevesi, and the two men have not spoken since the election.
The investigation by Mr. Spitzer's office will probably end with either a financial settlement or a lawsuit, though not before the end of this month, a person familiar with the investigation said.
The chauffeur issue became public in September after Mr. Hevesi's Republican opponent, J. Christopher Callaghan, was informed of it by an anonymous tipster. Mr. Hevesi said that he needed a driver for security reasons and because of the failing mental and physical health of his wife, Carol.
The Ethics Commission, though, found that the State Police had identified her as a "low-threat risk," that her driver had no law enforcement background and was not part of the comptroller's security team.
The commission also said that the comptroller's office had failed "to keep any record that would allow for proper reimbursement," suggesting that "Mr. Hevesi did not intend to reimburse the state."
Mr. Hevesi's lawyers have called the Ethics Commission report a "rush to judgment" and said that it omitted important facts, including details from a July 2003 State Police memorandum that indicated there was "a threat risk" for Mrs. Hevesi because her husband had been "the target of numerous threats."
Mr. Hevesi has apologized repeatedly and said he made a mistake out of concern for his wife. In his victory speech last week, he expressed determination to serve out his second term, promising to "serve and work hard for the people of New York every day of my next four years."
He was ostracized by the rest of the party, though, and delivered his speech in a separate hotel from Mr. Spitzer and the other statewide Democratic candidates.
His relationship with Mr. Spitzer has particularly soured.
Mr. Hevesi's conduct became a major issue in Mr. Spitzer's campaign debates, and when Mr. Spitzer withdrew his endorsement of Mr. Hevesi late last month, he said the Ethics Commission report "presents information that compromises Alan Hevesi's ability to fulfill his responsibilities."
The day after the election, at a joint appearance with Governor Pataki, Mr. Spitzer said that he would not interfere with the discussions over Mr. Hevesi's fate during Mr. Pataki's final days.
But he did say that the matter would be "my responsibility" come Jan. 1. "And at that point," he said, "I will answer all of these questions."Continue reading the main story

Over the past two seasons there has been a notable trend that has not been present since Ruud Gullit's time at AC Milan, the tall and powerful attacking midfielder.
This development can be contrasted with the situation five to fifteen years ago, the age of the powerful defensive midfielder. This was personified by the likes of Patrick Vieira and Edgar Davids, who used their speed and power to intercept passes, with the simple technical task of recycling possession to a teammate once they have to ball to start a new counter attack. There will of course always be demand for such players due to their obvious suitability to the role, explaining why players like Sergio Busquets currently hold down this position for world-class teams such as Barcelona.
The transition currently taking place can be normatively explained in light of Barcelona. Over the past five years, teams across Europe have decided to follow trend-setters Barcelona by retaining possession and playing the ball out from the back, with the emphasis upon controlling games and waiting for the opposition to make mistakes due to tiredness. This has of course led to unprecedented success of Guardiola's Barcelona, and has meant other teams, initially La Liga sides, had to adapt to be more organised in order to restrict the threat of being progressively sliced open through tika-taka football. The use of inverted wide midfielders also sprouted from Barcelona's influence: an Andres Iniesta figure who can thread a pass through the eye of a needle is currently preferable to a Keith Gillespie of yesteryear, who can fly down the wing and deliver a deadly cross. That trend is alone worth writing about.
As the more advanced teams loosely followed the passing style of Barcelona, less technical sides have countered this problem by defending using two banks of four. Such tactics are personified by the current Sunderland squad led by Martin O'Neill and England manager Roy Hodgson during the European Championships. Chelsea's champions league semi-final performance against Barcelona themselves provides a perfect example of this system used during a single game. Although a very good team with excellent players, they knew they were no match for Barcelona's intense passing game and rightly decided not to fight fire with fire. All of these teams were aware at the time that the best way to maximise their potential and get a result from games against more technical opponents was to find themselves difficult to break down. To their credit this has worked reasonably well, particularly for Chelsea who went on to win the Champions League that season.
Defensive organisation as rigorous as this has encouraged another trend. It has also led to the use of small, technical defensive midfielders. These players are seen as an ideal counterbalance to the threat of intricate through balls and small, skilful attackers, whilst being technically gifted. It is now more important than ever that these holding midfielders possess strong technical ability, in order to deal with the increasingly common use of high pressure put upon teams with possession of the ball in their own half. Having smaller, more talented holding midfielder means that teams find it easier to distribute the ball quickly and accurately from the back. Xabi Alonso of Real Madrid, Mikel Arteta of Arsenal and Lucas Leiva of Liverpool are all useful examples of how the top teams have adapted to these changing trends in European football. These players are all currently seen as indispensible by the respective clubs, and for good reason.
However, as a result of such strict organisation and the adoption of smaller holding midfielders, a new type of player has re-emerged – the use of powerful attacking midfielders. This new generation of playmaker has been deployed behind the strikers in order to quickly blast through smaller and more organised opposition with minimal fuss. They are particularly useful when counter-attacks are needed to finish a team off, as they often have the leg span to outpace tired defenders.
At 6 ft. 2, Moussa Sissoko's sensational performance against Chelsea ten days ago affirmed this new trend. His two goals on the counter attack, clever through balls to Papiss Cisse and his expeditious, powerful runs shifted the balance of play almost single handedly. Sissoko was seen at his very best in two particular moves against Chelsea from either wing. He tore past world-class full back Ashley Cole on the right hand side to release a shot and force a corner kick, and feinted his way past an equally powerful Branislav Ivanovic on the left hand side to release another shot on target, albeit a tame one on that occasion. It is no surprise then that Alan Pardew admitted after the game that Newcastle would not have won against Aston Villa or Chelsea had it not been for his new star player.
Yet players such as Sissoko have not only came to the fore over the past month, they have been on the rise since at least the start of last season. The use of fast, powerful attacking midfielders have been used elsewhere to great success. A recent example is the superb Miguel Michu, who has scored 16 goals in 29 games in all competitions and is 6 ft. 1. Michu was so successful in the number 10 role behind the likes of Danny Graham that he has now replaced Graham as their key centre forward in order to maximise his goal-scoring threat. Within the Premier League there is also Mourane Fellaini of Everton, who is having his most productive season to date with 10 goals in 20 league games, playing behind Nikita Jelavic and/or Victor Anichebe and stands at a towering 6 ft. 4 ½. Both Michu and Fellaini have also proved the usefulness of their size when making late runs into the box and scoring headed goals regularly.
Yaya Toure (current African Footballer of the Year) could also easily be categorised as a product of this trend at 6 ft. 3, although Roberto Mancini does not always use him in this way. He excelled in this position however against a defensively well-organised Newcastle United last season that Manchester City had struggled to break down for the best part of an hour – two Yaya Toure goals later after Mancini switched Toure into the number 10 role and City were in with a chance of claiming the Premier League title for the first time.
Moreover, as powerhouse attacking midfielders are a relatively developing trend in football, their valuations have not yet inflated – Sissoko and Michu both cost within the region of £2 million. At a hefty £24 million Yaya Toure is rightly seen as a more expensive example, but he was used predominantly by Barcelona as an effective defensive midfielder at the time. Overall the rise of the powerhouse trequartista could be the first step that leads to a shift away from some of the more technical elements of football developed by Barcelona towards a more direct and physical style of play across European football.

Nearly every business can benefit from adding a Hosted VoIP system; however, retailers in particular can use VoIP technology to their advantage. VoIP phones provide the flexibility and the quality service that a retail location of any size can use to improve their company. A VoIP phone can also enhance the way a retailer conducts business by improving customer experience, and allowing employees seamless access to important metrics and features. And to expand on that thought, here are five ways retail locations are taking advantage of VoIP phones:
First and foremost, VoIP phones will save you the headache of a lengthy and complicated installation process. VoIP phones are a breeze to set up, and you won't waste a minute trying to figure out how they work. Furthermore, VoIP phones are extremely cost-efficient; and even though they boast more features than traditional landline options, they won't end up hurting your bottom line because of it. Instead, you'll be able to save money and focus on reinvesting it back into your store!
With a VoIP phone, you can keep up to date on your inventory and supplies just by integrating it with your POS. Also, your POS will then have access to a host of cutting-edge features, in addition to top-of-the line security. Your employees will love what your POS can do for them, and you'll never have to deal with technical issues during a rush again.
If your retail store expands to new locations, or if you've already got stores in multiple cities, VoIP phones will keep you connected to every new store. And in addition to the seamless service you'll receive from a VoIP system, you'll also be able to use a local phone number at every site –– so you can ditch the 1-800 numbers forever.
If your business doesn't take in many calls, but you still want to have a telephone presence, you may be wondering how VoIP phones can work for you. The answer: softphones. Instead of installing any hardware, set up a VoIP softphone and take the calls right at your computer. It's an elegant solution to a common problem.
With a hosted VoIP phone, you'll be able to access the metrics behind every call that comes to your store. So you'll be able to identify high-traffic times, and better understand your customers and their needs. Spending some time to study the numbers can prove extremely beneficial to your business in the long run –– and with VoIP phones, you can make it happen!
VoIP phones are a great fit for retailers of all sizes, and if you want to learn more about how they can help your business go to the next level, contact the Votacall team today! We have experience in a wide range of industries, and understand the unique challenges and opportunities that retail locations face. And for more information, download our free eBook today and separate the fact from fiction about Hosted VoIP phone systems.

Performance Calendar
Aaron Alter, Composer
Solar Rays
for Piano Trio (Piano, Violin and Violoncello) is a reinterpretation of the Jazz song form with the violinist acting as the "singer." The title "Solar Rays" came to me when I thought of two people in love, all alone in a large grassy field on a clear summer day, looking up to the sun and feeling the heat and seeing the light and feeling the love for each other at the same time.
After the song theme is played by the violinist, each instrument has a solo that is all written-out, but sounds as if it were improvised. Each solo has a personality of its own. The Violin solo is virtuosic, the 'Cello solo is passionate, the Piano solo is monumental. After the solos, the song theme returns, followed by a powerful coda. Solar Rays would be a great encore or ending to a concert of music of any genre.

The piano trio version of Solar Rays was awarded a Silver Medal in the composition division by the
Global Music Awards in 2018
Solar Rays, in a brand new Jazz Big Band arrangement, was premiered on March 5, 2018 at the Cutting Room in New York.

Elva Bottineau said she would have told children's aid workers of her criminal record before they placed her grandchildren in her care, if only they had asked.
Testifying at the coroner's inquest into the death of Jeffrey Baldwin, Bottineau's grandson who died of starvation in her care in 2002, Bottineau said she was concerned for the well-being of Jeffrey and his sister, Sibling 2, whose identity is protected by a publication ban.
She said they were often sick and were not being properly cared for by their young and problematic parents, Richard Baldwin and Yvonne Kidman, Bottineau's daughter.
Bottineau, a petite woman dressed in a colourful shirt with her long grey and red hair running down her back, testified that the Catholic Children's Aid Society approached her in 1998, asking if she would take Sibling 2 and Jeffrey after Yvonne was seen shaking one of the children.
Bottineau, who already had the eldest Baldwin child in her care, said she accepted because she and her husband, Norman Kidman, feared the children would end up in foster care.
"I felt really felt bad that day that (Sibling 2) and Jeffrey had to be removed (from their parents' home)," said Bottineau. "Yvonne told me she didn't (shake the children). . . . And I believed her."
Bottineau said the family's CCAS case worker, Margarita Quintana, never asked about whether she had a criminal record or a past involvement with CCAS.
Had she done so, "I would have told her," said Bottineau.
Bottineau had a previous conviction for assault on one of her own children, who died from her injuries.
CCAS workers have testified at the inquest that they never conducted background checks on Bottineau and Kidman.
Along with Kidman, Bottineau was convicted of second-degree murder in 2006 for starving Jeffrey to death. Both he and Sibling 2 were kept inside a locked room with no access to food or a toilet.
On Wednesday, Bottineau said she worried she wouldn't have enough room in her three-bedroom house to accommodate Sibling 2 and Jeffrey, as Kidman, Sibling 1 and Bottineau's daughter, Yvette, were also living there.
"But I said I'm going to make the room, because I didn't want the children taken away and put in foster care," she said. "I said 'I already got Sibling 1, I'm not going to let go of (Sibling 2) and Jeffrey."
Bottineau was later granted full custody of the Baldwin children through the courts.
She acknowledged that after Sibling 2 and Jeffrey were placed in her care, she received extra family benefits money, to the tune of about $200 a month.
Bottineau, who is held at Grand Valley Institute for Women in Kitchener, is testifying in person.
She disagreed that her actions led to her grandson's death when she began her testimony Wednesday morning, but accepted it was a fact established at her criminal trial.
The inquest also heard details of Bottineau's childhood. Bottineau and her siblings were forced to steal to eat, and she was not allowed to continue school by her alcoholic stepfather, who insisted she look after her younger siblings in the 1960s.

'Hunger Games' Soundtrack Featuring the Decemberists, Arcade Fire Nearing No. 1
Popular movie on track to score big with soundtrack sales
Soundtrack albums usually end up killer or pretty lame. It looks like the soundtrack for "The Hunger Games" is headed towards the former, as Billboard is reporting that the album — which features tracks by Arcade Fire, the Decemberists, Neko Case, the Secret Sisters, the Civil Wars and more — is headed towards a No. 1 position on the Billboard 200 chart next week.
Based on sales number already in for the week, the soundtrack is expected to reach 150,000 to 170,000 copies by the week's end. If the 'Hunger Games' mix does debut at No. 1, it will mark the first time a theatrical film soundtrack reached the top of the albums chart since Michael Jackson's "This Is It" in 2009, which followed Jackson's tragic passing.
Produced by T-Bone Burnett, "The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12 and Beyond" offers a blend of already known performers (a la Arcade Fire, Taylor Swift) and lesser known names (Punch Brothers, Neko Case). The set doesn't necessarily feature tracks you'll hear during the movie, either, as only a few of the songs actually play during the film. If the album does reach No. 1 next week, it will be a bright spot in the trend of soundtrack sales declining over the past few years. According to the Wall Street Journal, sales of soundtracks have declined 79 percent since they peaked in 1998. Even blockbuster soundtracks, such as the soundtrack for the "Twilight" films, haven't performed as well as soundtrack sales of the past, such as "Top Gun" and "Dirty Dancing."

Three decisions from executive meeting on July 20
The executive meeting of the State Council on July 20 adopted a national plan for scientific and technological innovation during the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020), which decided to construct an innovation-driven country to lead and support upgrades in development; boost the integration of logistics and Internet technology, lower the cost for enterprises and make people's lives easier; published detailed rules on pledges of allegiance by government officials to the country's Constitution, in a bid to advance the rule of law.
State Council issues plan to implement IPR strategy
The State Council on July 18 issued a guideline to accelerate the construction of a strategy to reinvigorate China through intellectual property rights (IPR). The guideline called for coordinated work involving 40 government departments with six major targets, which include promoting reform of management for IPR, implementing strict protection of IPR, promoting creative uses of IPR, strengthening overseas distribution and risk control, enhancing international cooperation, and stepping up efforts for policy guarantees.
Pilot reform approved for IPR use and protection in Guangzhou
The State Council called for stronger protection of intellectual property rights (IPR) and a more active IPR market in the reform experiment zone of the Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City (SSGKC), in the capital city of South China's Guangdong province. It is built as an innovation-driven area, exploring intellectual property management for the whole country and serving as a strategic development platform and a model for economic transformation and industrial upgrading.
Administrative regulations to be adjusted in China's pilot FTZs
The State Council decided to adjust administrative regulations in China's pilot free trade zones. Eighteen administrative regulations, four State Council documents, and four departmental documents approved by the State Council are involved in the adjustment. The decision is aimed at securing lawful practices of measures concerning reform and opening up in the pilot cities of Guangdong and Fujian provinces, and Tianjin and Shanghai, according to the circular.
Inspection of vaccination nationwide to ensure safety trade and use
The China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) started an inspection of vaccinations nationwide on July 22. According to CFDA, authorities will keep track of purchases and distribution of vaccines as well as vaccination records to ensure legal trade and use of properly handled vaccines. All disease control and prevention agencies nationwide are subject to the inspection, and at least 20 percent of hospitals and clinics providing vaccination services will receive random checks.
Colleges and universities to be held responsible for academic misconduct
The Ministry of Education rolled out a plan to prevent and deal with misconduct in academia. The plan states that colleges and universities should be held responsible for any academic misconduct reported anonymously or exposed by the media.
Old-age service to be tested in prefecture-level cities
According to a circular issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Ministry of Finance, several prefecture-level cities have started a reform trial for providing old-age services in the community. The circular also stressed quality of the facilities and surrounding environment and the development of elder care and service in seven key areas. The performance in the trial zone will be evaluated and compensated accordingly.
Environmental protection emphasized in mining
The Ministry of Land and Resources, Ministry of Industry and Information, Ministry of Finance, Environmental Protection Department and the National Energy Administration released a guideline to declare a goal for the environmental recovery and comprehensive management of mines in China by 2025, establishing a supervision system, fulfilling the protection and management responsibility and efficiently protecting newly developed mines.
Steady investment in highways
According to data released by the Ministry of Transport, fixed asset investment in highways and water routes has reached 781.3 billion yuan in the first half of 2016, a year on year growth of 8.7 percent. The amount invested in highways has grown sharply, surpassing half of the amount invested in expressways. The figures in the second half are predicted to remain the same or slow down slightly from the first half year. In general, it will remain within a reasonable range.
Business registration simplified
According to the State Administration for Industry and commerce (SAIC), the number of business entities newly entering the market reached 7.84 million in the first half year, a year on year grow of 13.2 percent, and the average daily number of newly registered businesses was 40,000. Currently, market entities of all kinds in China reached 80.8 million. The rapid growth of new enterprises can be attributed to the newly launched business registration policy reform.

IQM system recognised by major award
iRT Systems and their development partner, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Ontario, Canada, have been awarded the 2017 Innovation Prize by the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz) for their collaboration in, "The development of IQM – a new safety standard in radiation therapy."
Represented in the UK by Vertec Scientific, iRT was founded to bring the Integral Quality Monitor (IQM) patient monitoring system to the international healthcare market, building on the detector design developed by a research team at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. The two organisations have worked together since 2013 to create a patient monitoring system that can be used to increase patient safety in any radiation therapy centre in the world.
According to the American Cancer Society new cancer diagnoses will nearly double to 22 million in the year 2030. Half of all cancer patients receive radiation therapy as part of their cancer treatment, and technological advances in radiation therapy allow an increasingly precise application of the treatment dose to the tumour volume with great benefits for the patients.
Yet these life-saving benefits of technological progress come with increased complexity in treatment planning, delivery processes and QA tools, bringing with them potential for errors of greater severity. Modern radiation therapy requires new approaches to ensure patient safety. The innovative IQM System verifies every individual control point in real time during patient treatment and this real time error detection capability allows error prevention before a problem can potentially harm a patient.
The Innovation Award of the German state Rheinland-Pfalz is one of the oldest and most established innovation awards in Germany and this year, the Innovationspreis Rheinland-Pfalz (Rhineland-Palatinate Innovation Prize) award committee recognised the new approach of the IQM system to improve patient safety in the increasingly complex environment of modern radiation therapy, awarding it the Innovationspreis Rheinland-Pfalz 2017 as the world's first intra-fractional verification system.
The award committee also recognised the IQM system's significant impact on verification workflow efficiency. IQM is completely integrated into the treatment planning and delivery workflow, verifying the treatment beam as a fully automated background process without any user interaction. This allows faster implementation of new treatment techniques regardless of the size or capacity of the radiation therapy centre.
The patented "continuous spatial resolution" detector design makes the IQM especially well-suited for verifying the smaller treatment field sizes typical in modern treatment techniques. The innovative detector design allows the verification of any field size from small stereotactic fields to up to 40cm x 40cm field sizes, for every photon energy (incl. FFF), every dose starting at 0.1MU/cm2 up to unlimited, every dose rate up to 2400 MU/min, every beam segment position at any gantry and collimator angle.

In one of my previous posts, I remarked that I did not really know what would be a suitable outfit for attending a Summer wedding. After reading the fabulous Jasmine Webster's recent article regarding cobalt being a great Summer colour and also after trawling through some past pictures, I found an old picture of me wearing a cobalt dress from my old love Marks and Spencer. It was a fitted dress with shawl like draping at the front to give it a little bit of pep. I still have in my closet and I do believe that this dress will stand up to the fickleness of fashion. It is a classic enough shape that will make it good for another wedding (may be not with the same circle of friends) or even going to a nice restaurant. I do wish Marks and Spencer would concentrate on their strengths such as making good dresses for the High Street lover. I had compliments from other guests about the dress and they did not believe it was from Marks and Spencer. I do love it when that happens as Marks and Spencer is not really renowned for its "fashion". Apologies in advance as I had to do some rough cropping as my friend did not want to be pictured on my blog....(I don't know why, should she not feel honoured? :P)

About The Project
Not every technical institute in India has access to all the educational facilities existing in the IITs, more so the lab facilities. The lack of such facilities should not undermine the students studying in these institutes. The Indian Government is trying hard to ensure that all their students get quality education irrespective of where the study. The virtual Machine and Instrumentation workbench is a novel idea born out of the need for free and straightforward access to better facilities for all the engineering students, whether B. Tech or M. Tech.
The virtual Machine and instrumentation workbench is a grand venture of the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India to ensure that the students of each and every technical institute of India get an easy and effective access to the expensive laboratory instruments through virtualisation of the lab equipments in IITs. This venture provides any student with the opportunity to operate the instruments unavailable in his/her institute and conduct practical experiments from the comfort of his home through the medium of internet. This virtual Machine workbench is created and maintained by the P.G. Machine Lab of Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee and caters to the need of Electrical Engineering students. The complete menu of virtual Machine experiments encompasses almost the entire range of experiments covered in the technical institutes of India at B. Tech and M. Tech level. As of now, we have concentrated more on generator related experiments.
The list of experiments is as follows:
1. To determine the efficiency of a dc motor by loss summation method(Swinburne's test).
2. Speed Control of DC motor by varying armature and field resistance.
3. To perform speed control of DC motor by using Ward- Leonard Method of speed control.
4. To study the Load Characteristics of DC shunt generator.
5. To study Magnetisation Characteristics of DC shunt generator.
6. speed control of Slip ring induction machine.
7. Determination of Transformer equivalent circuit from Open Circuit and Short Circuit Test.
The interface of the experiments has been designed keeping in mind the nature of the experiments to make it as real as possible. A lot of effort has gone into making the application extremely user friendly so that students face little difficulty in carrying out the experiments. After the experiments are conducted, the students are presented with a multiple choice quiz to refresh their knowledge on the subject. Also, the theory of the experiment conducted is explained briefly yet accurately in the report to get an in-depth understanding of the experiment. The setup for the experiment is also visible throughout the experiment through the use of a camera that can be controlled by the user.
For a student to try out any experiment, he/she should first get himself/herself registered on the website. After registration, they can choose a time slot offered for the experiment. If it is available, then the user is allowed to conduct the experiments during the allocated slot. Plenty of slots are available for the students so that each one of them can avail the opportunity to try out the experiments.

Doubly glad when Emmy came down with some weird rash. It looked like the rash she gets when she is around horses (she's allergic). After spending the morning of my day off at the Pediatricians office, it was determined she is totally fine. She just as Fifth Disease, which is some random childhood illness that is basically just a rash. She will be sporting the spots for about 3 weeks but she shouldn't have any other symptoms. The rash doesn't even itch. Anyway, after the appointment, I came home to get something productive done.
I organized the stuff stored in my attic. Painted my front door purple/pink. I've updated my house numbers too, I just haven't gotten them hung up yet.
I also turned a shower caddy into a spice rack. My kitchen is laid out a little odd. everything is on one wall. The stove is set into the counter and across from that is a door to a small closet. Most of the closet is taken up with my oven (its set into the wall) but it does have some space below it. I attached the shower caddy/spice rack to the inside of the door. Its the perfect location. I hate cooking, but now if I chose to I can actually access the spices.
Now that all of that is done, I need a nap.....or a day off.

Profligate (Noah from Form-A-Log)
Wax Fruit
The Pen Test
@ Apop Records / 2831 Cherokee St.
9 p.m. / $7 / all ages
Profligate is heady electronic music forced into sharp grids of abrasive, noisy sound. Altogether reckless and danceable, this is musical catnip for weirdos. Wax Fruit always brings the kind of detailed, meandering synth songs that provide greater depth if you look for it, but still ring out in a simple way.
Lumpy and The Dumpers released a new music video for their song "Sex Pit." This was shot recently at Chromozone and features a naked, slime-covered Martin Meyer. There's your warning.
Rob Ruzicka's Band Lotto went down last weekend. Show-goers were sort of prodded and asked to vote for their favorite band of the night. Daren's Jimmy Johns, a sort of all-star group featuring members of Trauma Harness and RUZ, won the "competition" hands-down. I think it was their liberal use of Gogurt, sub-sandwiches and a Weird Al cover that won them the votes.
Phut is a St. Louis based group from the late '90s that featured members from Dazzling Killmen, N. Nomurai and others. Their discography, released a couple years ago through Bandcamp, made the rounds today through social media. Here's another great experimental band that never got enough attention in its heyday:

Most vehicles' traffic alert systems do not detect pedestrians
If you have ever barely missed hitting a pedestrian walking behind your car in a crowded parking lot, you know the scary feeling.
With the holiday season in full swing, it's even more likely that a distracted shopper could step behind your vehicle as you are backing out.
If your car is equipped with a rear cross traffic alert system, don't rely solely on it, AAA warns. In tests it found that such systems failed to detect pedestrians 60 percent of the time, and they don't work if you are backing out at an angle.
In partnership with the Automobile Club of Southern California's Automotive Research Center, AAA tested rear cross traffic alert systems, designed to alert drivers to traffic passing behind a reversing vehicle, and found significant system limitations exist when parked between larger vehicles, such as SUVs or minivans. In this common parking lot scenario, the tested systems failed to detect pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcycles and other vehicles at alarming rates:
- A passing motorcycle was not detected by the systems in nearly half (48 percent) of tests.
- The systems failed to detect a bicycle passing behind the vehicle two in five times.
- The systems failed to detect a passing vehicle three in ten times.
While not all systems are designed to detect pedestrians, the technology failed to detect pedestrians the majority (60 percent) of the time.
"Motorists should always physically check behind their vehicle before backing out of a parking space because there maybe objects the sensors did not detect," said AAA spokeswoman Montrae Waiters."It's important to keep in mind that RCTA systems only work when a motorist is backing straight out of a parking space. They system does not work if you are parked at an angle."
AAA offers the following recommendations:
- If car shopping, a vehicle equipped with RCTA system may boost rear visibility, but should not be relied on to prevent crashes.
- Even if your vehicle is equipped with RCTA system, always reverse slowly, turning and checking blind spots to verify that a vehicle, bicyclist or pedestrian is not approaching the vehicle.
- Owners of a vehicle equipped with RCTA system should understand system limitations before using the feature. In AAA's testing, system accuracy varied widely among vehicles.
- Whenever possible, reverse into a parking space. Driving forward out of parking space increases driver visibility and lessens the likelihood of a crash.
- Consumers should inquire about the cost of RCTA systems, two in five 2015 model year vehicles will have this technology. Packages that include this feature range in price from $600 to more than $9,000. The average cost for this feature on 2015 model year vehicles is approximately $2,373.
"RCTA systems were designed to improve safety features in vehicles," said Waiters. "In order for the technology to work properly motorists knowledge of the operating system is Key."
Previous AAA testing of rear-view camera systems, required on all new vehicles by 2018, revealed significant consumer benefits including increased visibility of the rear blind zone by an average of 46 percent. However, it's important to note that no system shows 100 percent of the space behind a vehicle and that rain, snow or slush can impede camera visibility.

With the subtitle "A Novel of Terror," there isn't much room for confusion about the genre of The Troop. And perhaps not wanting to confuse is the reason that the author, a well-known Canadian literary writer, took on the pseudonym Nick Cutter (you only need to look as far as the copyright page to know that it is Craig Davidson, who wrote the Giller Prize short-listed novel Cataract City). How does a celebrated writer handle horror?
Conventions in the horror genre tend to be obvious, but it is hard to do them well. A scary premise can easily begin to feel like a B-movie gag, given that the line between comedy and horror is so thin. What lifts this novel above the rest is Cutter's ability to put a fresh twist on horror conventions, while also writing a story that delivers the bodies.
The novel opens with an online article from the Weird News Network about an unidentified male who has consumed five Hungry Man Breakfast platters in a local diner (each consisting of four eggs, three buttermilk pancakes, five rashers of bacon, sausage links and toast). The odd thing, according to those at the diner, is that he looked to be starving: "never in my life have I seen a man so wasted away." Next, a Scout Troop, led by earnest scoutmaster Tim Riggs, goes on its yearly trek to an unpopulated island off the shores of Prince Edward Island. It's like the idyllic island of Anne of Green Gables, but it soon gets turned upside-down when the starving stranger shows up in a boat. Riggs can tell right away that something is off about the man. Despite years of medical experience, he can't diagnose the problem or help. When he discovers the source of the man's hunger, it is to late to stop the spread of the affliction. As one of the boys observes, one of the good things about being a kid is that you can abandon anything with no real repercussions. For the troop, that perk is soon gone.
A horror story often holds suspense by killing off a group one by one. The order in which the characters are killed, and how they are finished off, is often the way the author sends a moral message. Cutter plays with this convention in the best of ways by messing with a clear-cut sense of right and wrong. One creepy character says, "bad things happen to good people, bad people die happy in their beds." As in William Golding's Lord of the Flies, the boys show us what they are made of through their choices. But, where the inherent virtues of Golding's little boys work against them, Cutter makes a case that while coming of age is tough, a young mind can cope with horror as it can "snap back, like a fresh elastic band."
Another convention that gets the twist from Cutter's pen is "the monster." While filming Jaws, an adaptation of Peter Benchley's novel, Steven Spielberg was unable to show the shark until far into filming because of a technical snafu. The result was a master class in suspense, and many authors since have observed the rule of keeping the monster hidden. In The Troop, Cutter shows the reader detailed information about the monster at the beginning with his inventive mix of articles, lab reports and transcripts. These give the reader a broader picture of the extent of the trouble the troop face and also allows the author shows his writing chops by amping up tension through pacing, character development and structure instead.
As the author readily acknowledges, the structure of The Troop is inspired in part by Stephen King's Carrie. King was famously honest when he said that Carrie was about "what men fear about women and women's sexuality." As a reader who thinks about the portrayal of gender while reading, I sometimes hesitate to pick up a horror book. I dread the convention that treats the feminine role as nothing more than a victim (I fear most for those women who dare to go skinny-dipping). For readers who share my sensibility, Cutter neatly sidesteps this convention as the women in this story are, for the most part, wistfully remembered mothers. None of them go skinny-dipping.
One rule of horror that Cutter closely follows is the over-the-top descriptions of guts and gore. Be warned that putting the horror genre in the hands of a gifted writer is bound to have grisly results. As King, in a glowing quote that is included on the cover says, "for…us sick puppies, it's a perfect gift for a winter night."

I just returned from a trip to Southern California to visit my parents (Dad's recovering well from having 2 stents put in last Thursday), check in with a few friends, and do ground work for banh mi-related events. In the pile of mail that we sorted through was the July issue of Cooking Light magazine.
Holy moly, in the monthly cookbook picks, the editors published this short-and-sweet shout out to The Banh Mi Handbook: "Lots of tasty riffs on the meaty, pickly, crunchy, saucy, spicy Vietnamese sandwich." The book's placement at the top of the list was the icing on the cake.
Totally awesome. Cooking Light is one of my favorite magazines because it offers balanced approaches to healthful eating and lifestyles. The publication isn't about precious food, a perspective that resides comfortably in other publications I read. I'm not a calorie conscious person but do believe that people should and could make time to cook good food for themselves and their family.
The editors and test kitchen at Cooking Light are sharp too and have supported my work in the past. For their 25th anniversary in 2012, they published a list of the top 100 cookbooks. Both Into the Vietnamese Kitchen and Asian Dumplings were selected and got 2 of the 7 slots in the best Asian cookbooks category. I was deeply honored but didn't know how much they'd like the banh mi book. Guess they like it a lot to include it in their "Fun" issue. I wrote the book as a casual and approachable work to get people into Vietnamese cooking and inspire them to make Viet food part of their regular rotation.
The magazine and Wall Street Journal's endorsements are major thumbs up, especially since the book isn't out yet. Asian food blogs the Ravenous Couple and Rasa Malaysia have also come out to support the book in advance of its release. All of that, combined with your enthusiasm, resulted in strong pre-order sales numbers like these:
It's amazing that the book is often the bestselling Vietnamese cookbook on Amazon. Additionally, banh mi is as popular as American hamburgers, Italian paninis and Mexican tortas! The book is also doing well in the Asian and herbs, spices and condiments categories too. Shazam. Go Banh Mi Handbook! (If you haven't taken advantage of the pre-order giveaway, don't forget about it.)
The other piece of nice mail that arrived this week was an email newsletter from Celia Sack, the proprietor of Omnivore Books, a wonderful bookstore in San Francisco and one of the few in the world that focuses on food and drink. I've never had a book launch party before but for the banh mi book, Celia said I needed to celebrate with a Banh Mi Handbook Launch Party. She's invited me to do book talks at her shop since it opened and this time, we're having snacks, cocktails, party favors, and door prizes.
My publisher Ten Speed Press and friends Cuong Pham of Red Boat fish sauce, and buddy Jeff Bareilles of Manresa restaurant are all pitching in. If you're in the Bay Area on Monday, July 14, come join us for the party. I'm making a little banh mi bar for the shindig, which goes from 6:30 to 9:30pm. It's free. Of course, I'll sign your book(s) in between bites and sips. 😉
Celia just sent out her monthly newsletter and you may have seen the banh mi book party listed. Otherwise, head over to the Omnivore Books events page for more details. Note that if you can't make the party and would like a personally autographed book, let the shop know. Celia and her staff will make it happen for you.
It's been a good snail mail and email week. Hope yours was good too.
