News of the Weird (via The Sun Times) picked up on the 'ol "Mistaking the Brake Pedal" accident made triply-hilarious when we learn it's a shriner in a go-cart (and hopefully a funny turbin).
We're straying from the traditional boundaries of Milwaukee for this jar of candied stupid. A man, at his wedding, was charged with throwing a knife at a 17 year old wrapped in duct tape. Let that sink in.
A groom is accused of throwing a knife at his wedding reception and injuring a young man wrapped in duct tape. Matthew J. Willi, 46, is charged with felony second-degree reckless endangerment and misdemeanor endangering safety with a dangerous weapon. The criminal complaint says the victim was with some 17-year-old friends, and with Willi's son. The two youths played with wooden swords, which split at one point. A friend wrapped the victim's upper body in duct tape and someone commented he looked like a pinata. Willi, the groom, wanted to hit him with a wooden sword, but the others wouldn't let him. Willi then allegedly grabbed a handful of knives at a house. The complaint says Willis threw one, hitting the victim in the upper chest. He was charged last week.
Some weddings are boring. Some weddings, apparently, are filled with wooden swords, knives, teenagers wrapped in duct tape in order to resemble human pinatas and, I'm guessing in this case, crystal meth and aggression. Perhaps, in subsequent weddings for the groom, he can balance his love of knife play with a more tempered wedding celebration. Maybe lawn darts?
A dispute over lawn space erupted into a turf war that sent one man to the hospital before a sold-out Donna Summer concert Saturday at the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, police said.
After setting up their blankets, chairs and a tarp, a group of concertgoers from Arlington Heights left for a restaurant. Returning an hour later, they found their belongings displaced by a Chicago group, which they confronted.
A woman in the Chicago group tried to attack a woman from the returning group, police said. A 40-year-old Chicago man then punched a 49-year-old Arlington Heights man, prompting a wine-and-cheese splattering melee, police said.
The Arlington Heights man was taken by ambulance to Highland Park Hospital, where he received 15 stitches, while the Chicago man was charged with battery.
Sorry Arlington, I think the Chicago Donna Summer Gang is in the right here… you can't just stake claim on a concert lawn, leave for hours and come back and expect it not to be fucked with. That's just not how it works.
There's also something great about 40-somethings getting in a wine & chees brawl to the disco bliss of Donna Summer. It's almost surreal.
The AP reports Moline, IL dude decided to multi-task after holding 5 people hostage, sending two of his prisoners out for beer. No insight as to why just sending one hostage wasn't enough … dude was prepping to drink a LOT of beer apparently.
Police say 33-year-old Jason Slagel of Moline is charged with five counts of false imprisonment and going armed with intent. They say Slagel pulled a knife during an argument Tuesday night with another man and told the people in the room that they wouldn't be allowed to leave … Police say Slagel eventually got thirsty and sent two hostages out for beer.
After they left, they called police and Slagel was arrested without incident.
Editors everywhere are preparing their "The Family That Robs Together, Stays Together" headlines for tomorrow. It's what they do when fruit this ripe falls in their laps. While this story involves Chicagoans, it's where they did what they did that makes it a tale of Milwaukee frivolity.
A 17-year-old teen in town from Chicago for his mother's birthday yesterday apparently robbed two gas stations in Greenfield and Milwaukee at gunpoint before he and his mother – the alleged getaway driver – were captured by Greenfield police last night. Others along for the ride? The woman's three other children, a 13-month-old girl and two boys, ages 10 and 14, who Greenfield police were aware that their older brother was robbing the businesses after planning out the capers with the 37-year-old mother.
That kinda makes the Dairy Queen ice cream cake I got every year for my birthday seem about as crappy as this.
Milwaukee & Chicago: Late on Rent? In an Argument? Burn Something!
A headline in Milwaukee's Journal-Sentinal News Watch blog succinctly sums it up, "Argument Leads to Porch Fire". This particular problem-solved-by-burning took place at 2500 block on Michigan. Shockingly, it was not caused by Marquette students.
An argument between neighbors led to a house porch being set ablaze before Milwaukee police arrested a 52-year-old man accused of setting the fire early today … Police said damage to the porch as well as furniture on it was about $600.
A South Side landlord was critically burned Tuesday after being doused with gasoline and set on fire, possibly by a tenant he evicted, Chicago police said … Authorities responded at about 2:15 a.m. Tuesday and found Hayes collapsed on the porch of the building next door.
…One Waukesha County family is taking a stand against conformity and poor judgment, and had themselves a little Favre-B-Q … The Starks, life-long Packers supporters, decided to hold a Brett Favre-memorabilia-burning bonfire because of the quarterback's extremely selfish (to everybody but Favre-loving sycophants) attitude toward the team, the city, and its fans. And they were kind enough to videotape it and set it to music.
Actually, the video is actually pretty self-deprecating and humorous. The main thing that worries me is their Tivo'ing of Fox News. THAT is scarier than arson.
A man was hospitalized after falling down a stairwell at the Chicago Theatre during a Saturday night Steely Dan concert Downtown.
Emergency personnel responded to a report of an accidental fall at the Chicago Theatre, 175 N. State St., about 11:10 p.m. and found a man on the basement floor, Central District police said.
The man was attempting to slide down the second-floor stairwell railing during a concert when he fell, hit two other patrons and landed on the basement floor, police said.
Gapers Block reports a scathing expose on the lack of turn-signal use in a Sun Times article today. Why, pray tell, would Illinoisians not want to use their turn signal? Because, apparently, not using your blinker adds a level of excitement slightly above ripping the tags off your mattresses.
7 percent skipped the signal to "add excitement" to their trip.
…A Chicago Cubs fan covered entirely in blue paint decided that he needed to dump a cooler full of water on her. Then, proving that he has the intelligence of a lima bean, he (or someone claiming to be him) posted the footage of the dousing on youtube.
This, of course, is all Cubs-themed anarchy, so, I'd also like to mention White Sox fans once beat the crap out of a first base ump, tackled a Royals first base coach, and nearly caused a riot because of their hate of disco. Either way, this violence isn't new, it's just disturbing. Now that both North and Southside teams are at the top of their divisions, maybe we can all sit down, drink a few dozen beers, and then just drive home without incident.
April 15, 2003, U.S. Cellular Field: After three fans had earlier disrupted the game by running onto the field, a fourth ran on the field in the eighth inning and tried to tackle first-base umpire Laz Diaz, wrapping his arms around Diaz's legs. The fan, who has not yet been identified, will likely face charges. The three men, all in their 20s, who ran onto the field earlier in the game were charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass.
Sept. 19, 2002, Comiskey Park: Royals first-base coach Tom Gamboa was assaulted by 34-year-old William Ligue Jr. and his 15-year-old son. The two jump on Gamboa, kicking and punching him until players and coaches from both sides restored order. A folded-up pocket knife was found on the ground afterward. According to the Daily Southtown, Ligue's son spent one month in jail after pleading guilty last October to charges of aggravated battery and mob action. He was sentenced to five years probation, 30 hours of community service and was ordered to undergo counseling. The elder Ligue has pleaded not guilty to the same charges and is seeking the same punishment as his son.
May 16, 2000, Wrigley Field: A fan grabbed Dodgers catcher Chad Kreuter's cap, striking him in the back of the head. Kreuter went into the stands after the fan. It took security officials nine minutes to restore order. Nineteen Dodgers players and coaches were suspended.
Sept. 28, 1995, Wrigley Field: Cubs reliever Randy Myers was charged by a 27-year-old bond trader who ran out of the stands. The unarmed attacker was knocked down by Myers, who was trained in martial arts, and was arrested.
July 13, 1979, Comiskey Park: Bill Veeck's infamous Disco Demolition Night, Fans who brought disco records were allowed into the stadium for 98 cents. The records were to go into a bonfire between games of a doubleheader with the Tigers. About 50,000 fans attended the game and more than 5,000 ended up on the field where a riot ensured. Veeck made futile pleas for the mob to leave. Umpire Dave Phillips called a forfeit, giving Detroit a sweep.
It's only going to get worse, Wisconsinites.
Greg Kurzynski of Greenfield is frustrated with the Green Bay Packers for trading Brett Favre to the New York Jets and he's in mourning.
So he did what you're supposed to do when there's a tragedy.
He's flying his Packers flag at half staff.
Kurzynski, a lifelong Wisconsinite and Packers fan, said he bought a Packers flag when he moved from South Milwaukee to a house on Howard Ave. in 2003. He flies it on game days.
He's been on vacation from work for the past two weeks and fuming over what looked to him like the Packers seeming to push Favre away.
Usually Kurzynski spends his vacation at Packers training camp, but he couldn't this year, he said, because Favre wasn't going to be under center.
Kurzynski said a letter to Packers general manager Ted Thompson would just be ignored. He figured a flag placed in a position of distress would get more attention.
He lowered the flag, then mowed his lawn. His wife, Gloria, called the newspaper and a television station.
So now Kurzynski has two teams. He said he's going to order his New York Jets jersey once the Jets' official online store comes back up. The Web site had been down all morning, Kurzynski said.
Kurzynski will watch Jets games on television, he said. He will watch the Packers too, if the games aren't on at the same time.
Kurzynski and his wife have mapped out a game-time routine during their 38 years of marriage. He sits on the edge of his chair and can't be interrupted. Gloria Kurzynski will listen in, but she won't let a game stop her from doing chores around the house.

Lengthiest Adaptation of a J.R.R. Tolkien Novel
Durham Abric
J.R.R. Tolkien novels have traditionally been successful in their film adaptations, so there's been a new category has been added to the Academy Awards: The Lengthiest Film Adaptation of a J.R.R. Tolkien Novel. Needless to say, middle-aged men still living with their mothers are thrilled! The first nomination is an adaptation of Tolkien's first and relatively unknown novel, "The Raucous Adventures of Samwise Gamgee." This thrilling tale outlines the daily duties of Sam, a lovable and chubby little fella who spends most of his time preparing breakfast and gardening for his dearest friend, Frodo Baggins. The movie's big moment is a four hour and eleventy three minute close up of Sam sodding Frodo's grass while Frodo finishes his third lunch of the day and ultimately realizes he is slightly below average stature. The second nomination is "Legolas: Finally a Story Not About Hobbits." Don't be fooled by its title, because this 18-hour trilogy is in fact another story about a sheltered, unsuspecting and hairy-footed hobbit who turns out to be a hero. The tongue-twisting title was clearly just using the promise of Orlando Bloom to draw audiences back to theaters, as this tricksy movie has almost zero Legolas action but over an hour of footage of the hobbits leaving the shire. It's definitely a contender for this award. The frontrunner for the award, however, is "Treebeard." This 12-month-long spectacular is a real-time depiction of the changing of the seasons. The title character, Treebeard, and his band of fun-loving Ents stand motionless for the entirety of the motion picture while their leaves cycle through existence. The Features media specialists have mathematically deduced that this is the longest film and therefore the frontrunner, so it has a 60 percent chance of winning.

Jumia Travel in collaboration with Google has released a case study on the adoption of the Progressive Web App (PWA) as compared to the use of native apps (android & IOS).
The Jumia team has rebuilt its mobile website using PWA technologies and this research showcases new achievements attained in key areas pertaining to storage space, battery life, and data consumption. The integration of the PWA on Jumia mobile ecosystem has resulted to better user experience, growth of conversion rate and notably, lower bounce rate on the ecosystem.
Following the optimization on all the elements of the PWA experience, the company revealed a remarkable 33% increase in conversion rates compared to the previous mobile website. It is also notable that traffic to PWA has eclipsed that of the native app by more than twelve times and is still growing, while the bounce rate has gone down by half.
A report by IDC (International Data Center) indicates that Africa has steadily recorded an increased shipment of smartphones in every quarter, and the market is expected to double in volume, accounting for a third of all handset shipments by end of 2017. This will further bolster the number of customers preferring to make their purchases via the device, again reiterating on the need for ecommerce players to adapt a mobile first strategy into their operations.
Jumia Travel's PWA uses 80% less data than the native app to complete the first transaction. The PWA consumes 25 times less storage, and is much easier to keep up-to-date. The ability to work offline-first also makes a lot of sense given the erratic mobile-network service experienced by users.
Considering that Jumia's main market in the Sub-Saharan Africa majorly consists of mobile-originating customers at 75%, it was imperative to adapt a highly engaging ecosystem. PWA combines high-converting features of native apps with the wide-reach abilities of the web, hence overcoming the issue of 2G networks most common in SAA (Sub-Saharan Africa), intermittent connectivity and data limitations.
Jumia showcased part of their 2016 mobile strategy in Progressive Web App (PWA) journey, illustrating increased conversions through push notifications, which as Jeremy Doutte, the Group CEO explained is a "more personal way to communicate with customers and get closer to the customers".
Jumia Travel (travel.jumia.com) is the N°1 Pan African Online Travel Agency, which simplifies the travel booking experience by allowing users to compare prices and amenities in a fast and secure manner.
With more than 30,000 hotels in Africa (+300,000 hotels around the world) and more than a hundred flight companies as partners, Jumia Travel aims to democratize travel by reducing travelling cost, providing the largest inventory of properties and granting local & high-quality services to become the one stop travel shop in the continent.
Jumia Travel is active in over 40 countries in Africa, with 10 local offices, and more than 400 travel specialists constantly in touch with our customers. Our main hubs are in Lagos (Nigeria), Accra (Ghana), Dakar (Senegal), Abidjan (Ivory Coast), Algiers (Algeria), Douala (Cameroon), Kampala (Uganda), Dar Es Salaam (Tanzania), Nairobi (Kenya) and Addis Ababa (Ethiopia). Before June 2016, Jumia Travel was known as Jovago. It was founded in 2013 by Jumia and is backed by MTN, Millicom, Rocket Internet, Orange, Axa and other financial partners.


I spent a blissful day up at Silverwood yesterday, watching Christy and Liam, as well as a few other friends and lots of area pros. It was a big "two shows in one" weekend, running three days, and some big names were in attendance. Ken Borden was there with Rashka, who's been a USDF HOTY for the last three years running, at Training, First and Second, and it's easy to see why this horse has more than 20 scores in excess of 80%. Yvonne Barteau and and her Grand Prix powerhouse GP Raymeister (who, incidentally, is Rashka's sire) are always fun to watch, and they didn't disappoint in the musical freestyle I caught.
As much fun as it is to watch grand prix riders on fancy warmbloods, more than anything I still enjoy watching OTTBs go down the centerline. For me, Christy and Liam stole the show, garnering two more scores toward the bronze medal (yay!!!!) and really illustrating what teamwork is all about. It was a hot day, and the footing at Silverwood is deeper than at home. Christy rode her first test conservatively, to ensure she had gas in the tank for her debut at Second Level. They put in a good ride and got the score they needed before going back for round two.
During that second warm up, Christy commented that she could feel that Liam was getting tired. It really didn't show during the test, however – as usual, the two were in beautiful synch and harmony. After the ride, however, it became clear that Liam had given Christy his all. When I took him out to graze and cool off, he was reluctant to leave his stall, trudging slowly (that's so unlike him) with his head drooping. Poor boy! He had been right there in the zone with Christy, and had left it all on the field. He perked up when we showered him with treats after he had a bath, though. He knew he had done well! I was overjoyed when we learned that Christy had indeed earned a score in excess of 60% at Second. She's halfway to her bronze! It's pretty exciting.
I also watched two other OTTBs. Linus, a 10 year old that evented Prelim last year, went out at PSG and I-1. He is a magnificent athlete and is a tempi-change machine. His owner, Carol, says he's the most athletic horse she's ever had, and that dressage comes naturally for him. Watching Linus, who carries a spectacular amount of muscle on his light Thoroughbred frame, is truly exciting and inspirational for anyone who loves Thoroughbreds. What he lacks in extravagant gaits he makes up in athleticism and enthusiasm. It's going to be a fun summer watching him.
Kelly and Bubba execute a very pretty stretchy trot.
Our friend Kelly also had her green bean, a 5 year old OTTB she's nicknamed Bubba, out for his first dressage show at Training. He's done a couple baby combined tests, and is showing a lot of promise. However, he had some greenie moments during his test, taking exception to the judges booth and spooking whenever he came near C. Kelly rode with tact and empathy, staying quiet but insisting upon forward. As much as I loved watching Liam and Linus, Bubba's test was inspiring for me. Kelly did a wonderful job of keeping the horse on the aids, and had some very nice moments, including the pretty stretchy trot pictured to the left.
The Thoroughbreds all acquitted themselves very well, and garnered compliments from onlookers, who admired how light and refined they appeared in the ring – the differences really are evident because most of the horses doing rated dressage shows are heavier warmbloods and draft crosses.
This morning I uploaded all the video I took yesterday, and watched all the rides once again. Then I put on my britches and headed out to the barn, where I rousted Derby from a late-morning nap in the sun. With visions of Bubba's stretchy trot in my head and Christy's words from last week's lessons ringing in my ears ("He needs to be rounder. Rounder still. Half halt. Again. Again. Soften the inside rein. Inside leg on. Half halt. Again!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN!") I paid attention to differentiating between bracing contact and good, roundness. I half halted, and half halted, and half halted, but I was able to get Derby's back up, and best of all, I was able to hold it. Getting and maintaining roundness will be the absolute key for us in the coming weeks. Everything is so much easier when you're operating from that essential "ready" position, with a forward, round, connected horse.

Music that incorporates numerous impartial parts (e.g., a double concerto accompanied by 100 orchestral devices with many interweaving melodic strains) is usually mentioned to have a "thicker" or "denser" texture than a piece with few parts (e.g., a solo flute melody accompanied by a single cello).

A: First of all, you JSON is incorrect. Corrected JSON:
{ "CustomerDetails": [{'name':'Amy','age':'23'},{'name':'Amj','age':'25'},{'name':'Amg','age':'27'}]}

You should use AJAX to send data to the java class if you want it to be asynchronous. You will require a servlet to accept this request, that will parse this JSON and you can follow with the necessary processing on it. Look into Jackson or GSON libraries to do JSON parsing.

A: The following change worked for me:
fullpath=contextpath\servletname
$.post(fullpath, {jsonText:jsonText}, function(data) {
    alert(data);
});

Checking Out a Library Book Leave a comment
The Library Book might be better titled The Los Angeles Central Library Book. Author Susan Orlean provides an exhaustive history of the downtown LA library. The 1986 fire that destroyed four-hundred- thousand books and other materials including periodical, numerous collections and caused extensive damage to the building is the starting point for her overview.
The fire, how it started and efforts to rebuild are the most engaging aspects. While the Central Library isn't exactly a phoenix rising from the ashes, it's close. Arson is suspected and one suspect, since deceased, is profiled in great detail. Harry Peak is a charismatic wanna-be actor. He was also a chronic liar. He lied to friends, family, arson investigators and attorneys.
Orlean incorporates a fun, clever approach to each chapter citing four references that provide context for what will follow. For example, it's clear from the sources cited that Chapter 11 will be about fund raising.
Where the narrative bogs down is in the history of the library's various directors. Granted, some were more colorful, more resourceful, less interesting, less impactful than others. These chapters were on the dry side.
The most fascinating aspects, in addition to the learning about the fire itself, were learning about the librarians, their specific job descriptions and their commitments to the library and its patrons.
It's clear Orlean has a deep respect for the roles libraries serve, but there was too much in her book that is the stuff of trivia competitions, something that doesn't appeal to me.

Investing in Justice Leave a comment
Red Notice by Bill Browder is a true-life tale involving financial investments, conspiracy, Russian intrigue and, ultimately, murder. A look at how U.S. laws are enacted is also included. A red notice is essentially an international arrest warrant. Putin tried, unsuccessfully, to have one placed on the author. The political climate with Russia makes this a timely read.
Browder recounts his experience as a foreign investor in Russia following the breakup of the Soviet Union. He discovers a motherlode, secures investors and founds his own capital management firm. Initially, the focus is on Browder's financial acumen. Then, things get ugly for him and his associates when he exposes corruption in – surprise! – the Russian government.
Browder's visa is revoked, but he's able to covertly move his company's holdings out of Russia saving his clients' fortunes in the process. However, this isn't where the author reveals his valor. That comes in the narrative's final third as he seeks justice for the abuse and murder of his friend/attorney, Sergei Magnitsky, who revealed a multi-million dollar fraud committed by the Kremlin.
Browder's efforts, along with assistance from U.S. government officials, helped put in place the Magnitsky Act, which, initially*, blocked Russian officials and business leaders from entering the United States and froze their assets held by U.S. banks.
Guilt motivates Browder's actions, but the true hero of the story is Magnitsky who steadfastly believed truth and fairness would prevail.
With some exceptions, such as occasional extraneous details, the rapid-fire pacing makes Browder's story engaging.

Sitting in Awe, Not in Judgement 1 comment
I read Tattoos on the Heart several years ago. Gregory Boyle, the Jesuit priest who founded Homeboy Industries (HBI) in Los Angeles, wrote about his experiences working with gang members. Each chapter left me in tears at the heartfelt stories Boyle shared of those attempting and often overcoming daunting challenges of their life circumstances and poor choices.
Barking to the Choir, Boyle's new book, is more introspective. It has plenty of heartbreaking vignettes of homies facing incredible odds, but its pull on the heartstrings is looser. In both books an abundance of joy fills most pages even in the direst situations; but this time Boyle's messages about hope and acceptance are tempered with his interpretation of understanding God's word. This isn't a bad thing.
Simple acts of kindness, not just from Boyle, but among the marginalized he writes about are moving. Major leaps of faith, again, not just from the author, but among those populating his world are thought-provoking. I'm left to consider blessings in my own life and the positive choices I've been able to make because of the family environment I had.
Father Boyle injects a healthy amount of humor while recounting events of those who pass through HBI's doors. He isn't preaching, or barking, but he certainly leaves the reader with much to consider. Two ideas, in particular, in the book resonate with me: awe and judgement. The former is what we should aspire to in our interactions with others; the latter is, unfortunately, more prevailing.

Four's a Crowd Leave a comment
I was baffled by Emma Hooper's Etta and Otto and Russell and James. It's sweet but confusing. It's a love story that considers lost chances and perhaps poor decisions. It's also surprisingly descriptive in its brevity.
Etta is 83 years old when she embarks on a trek across Canada to the ocean. The five-sentence letter she leaves as explanation to her husband sets the tone for the novel: "Otto, I've gone. I've never seen the water, so I've gone there. Don't worry, I've left you the truck. I can walk. I will try to remember to come back."
This isn't the kind of thing she's planned, she simply leaves to see the coast. Briefly, Otto considers trying to find her. Ultimately, it's Russell who does so, while Otto remains on the farm.
Along her trek, Etta gains unwanted attention from the media and towns people she encounters. She also acquires a companion in James, a source of bewilderment.
The relationships among the four title characters are complex. Otto and Russell have known each other since childhood. Both love Etta. Hooper develops the bond between Etta and Otto through letters the pair exchanged during the war. Their correspondence evolves from the mundane to the heartfelt.
Hooper intersperses the characters' backstories with their present day adventures: Etta bound for the sea, Russell in search of Etta and Otto discovering daily rhythms on his own. Meanwhile, there's James, who's difficult to describe. Hooper has crafted a terse novel unpredictably rich with humor and longing.

Full disclosure: I'm a John Irving fan. However, at around page 39, in Avenue of Mysteries, I wondered if he'd lost his touch. Before I knew it, I was on page 100 and realized I had nothing to worry about Irving's storytelling mastery.
Fourteen-year-old Juan Diego and his younger sister, Lupe, are dump kids in Oaxaca, Mexico. That is, they live and work among the trash heaps where garbage is sorted, saved and burned. Through books he's salvaged, Juan Diego has taught himself to read and learn English. He also serves as translator for Lupe, whose words are unintelligible to everyone else. What she lacks in comprehensibility, she compensates for in her mindreading ability. She's no fortune teller. Although she has a sense of what will happen, she knows peoples' histories.
The narrative moves between Juan Diego's youth and his adult self, a successful writer living in the U.S., who visits the Philippines. Juan Diego's dreams reveal his past: the dump, the Catholic Church, his mother (the prostitute and cleaning woman for the church), the would-be priest from Iowa and the circus, among many other elements. It wouldn't be John Irving without the numerous components and the way they intersect.
As he travels, Juan Diego's state of mind is manipulated by the medication he takes and forgets to take, as he meets Miriam and Dorothy, introduced as mother and daughter. The relationships with the women and a former student are complicated and interesting, but not nearly as engaging as Juan Diego's earlier life.

The Spirit of Place, Love and Art Leave a comment
I'm a fan of Alice Hoffman's prolific work and her most recent, The Marriage of Opposites, reminds me why. She often incorporates elements of little-known history with a touch of the mystical. On the surface that may not sound enticing, but in Hoffman's hands it is never overwhelming.
Set on the Caribbean island of St. Thomas in the early 1800s, Rachel's father is among a group of Jewish immigrants who fled persecution from the European Inquisition. To describe his daughter as headstrong is an understatement.
The narrative primarily focuses on Rachel's life, but later alternates with others. While still in her teens, Rachel is forced to marry Isaac, a man nearly twice her age. Following his death she's left without property of own and seven children – three from Isaac's first marriage.
This is not a tale of survival, though. It is part biography but largely a love story. It's full of passion that emerges when Rachel meets Isaac's young cousin, Frederic Pizzaro*, who arrives from Paris to take over the family business.
Going against their religion and social mores, Rachel and Frederic marry. Their youngest son, Camille, shares his mother's obstinate nature; she acknowledges him as her favorite, although the two are often in conflict. The story soon becomes his as he struggles to pursue his artistic endeavors and eventually find his place among the French Impressionists.
Hoffman's tale is also about of the influence of the island's bright colors, cultural expectations and what happens when they collide with dreams.

Rosies are Read Leave a comment
I am humbled and surprised when I run into someone who tells me my blog is enjoyable and a good place to learn about books (and restaurants when I write about them). When I started The Blue Page Special nearly three years ago, that's what I hoped for. What's even better is when one of my readers shares a book title with me, introducing me to a new author or genre. Such is the case with The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion.
Simsion presents Don Tillman: a nerd. This renowned genetics professor at a Melbourne, Australia, university has created a life so structured that all of his activities are scheduled to the minute. He finds the slightest deviation unnerving. This, along with his intelligence and inclination to view the world through literal eyes, makes him socially inept.
Nonetheless, he decides it's time to find a life partner and creates the Wife Project, complete with a multi-point questionnaire which has no place for romance. That is until Rosie Jarman, a graduate student in psychology, unwittingly becomes a candidate in the project. Don quickly dismisses her as a viable contender because of what he perceives as her many (human) faults.
The novel is predictable which might warrant a spoiler alert, but I encourage reading it anyway. Don's voice and personality quirks are well-developed — complete with a few laugh-out-loud moments. Also, Rosie's criticism that the Wife Project objectifies women is unarguable. Yet, the premise results in a fun read where transformations occur on several, some even surprising, levels.

Somebody posted this on the Basilmarket forums.
Looks like we see the first monster with pretty cool music. I'm excited.
lf you're talking about the game, probably not.
As with any other mmo out there new classes are always coming. They just stated that they won't be adding anything new until they fully are satisfied with the first eight classes that they already have made. So basically don't expect a new class out for a while after release date. Pirates for MS1 did not come out for a few years after MS1 release if I recall. 2005 was GMS release date and pirates came out in 2008. So my guess any new classes that will come out for MS2 won't be for at least the same amount of time. I don't think they are going to be releasing a billion classes though like they did for MS1 so don't get your hopes up for a new class coming out that often.
Idk if they will be adding new classes, but if they do, I'd like a class with a hammer that lets you smash everything in your path!
MS1 is out of control with it's clusterfunk of classes. I hope MS2 does not repeat that same mistake. Adding a few classes later on is fine, but please nothing like MS1.
I genuinely hope there will be no new classes added for at least a year (I hope around 2 years), of course that's just my irrelavent opinion but I think the classes that are going to be playable on release will more than keep me entertained and I'm sure many of you. I also think they'll develop each of these classes within the first year or not long after to keep everyone on there toes and engrossed in the game.
I honestly think Pirates would be a cool addition back to the game, but I wouldn't be mad if they did something else original. I do hope they add a few more classes but I don't want them to be stupid op compared to the 8 original they have now. If anything, I want the new classes to have a certain position they fill and not just what a few classes do but better... Every class should have a niche that they all bring to a party; healer, tank, high-dps, burst damage, etc. Bring back the days of old maple when every class had a certain role to play!


Just days after a pedestrian was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Newport News, a bicyclist has died in Norfolk after he was hit by two drivers that left the scene in the Ocean View area of Norfolk.
The Virginian-Pilot reported on how police were looking for two vehicles that may have been involved in this tragic accident a small, red sedan with a large amount of front-end damage and a mini-van taxi.
My thoughts as an experienced Norfolk injury lawyer are with the family of Mr. Westman. Cyclists are vulnerable and are killed and injured every year on the streets of cities such as Norfolk and Virginia Beach, VA.
It's bad enough to lose a loved one, worse still when the drivers who are responsible flee the scene.
Just days ago, I reported on the death of pedestrian Marcella Yvette Spain on Warwick Boulevard in Newport News at the hands of a hit and run driver.
A pickup driver was later arrested. Hit and runs are not just criminal offenses. Often the families of those who have tragically lost their lives have grounds to bring a wrongful death lawsuit.
If you have lost a loved one in an accident you should call a Norfolk, VA wrongful death lawyer.

Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda Demands Reparations for Harvard's Association with Slavery in Letter to Bacow

Antigua and Barbuda's Prime Minister Gaston Browne demanded reparations from Harvard for the University's historical ties to slavery in a letter to University President Lawrence S. Bacow last month.
The letter, dated Oct. 30, recalls how Isaac Royall Jr., a plantation owner and slave trader who operated in Antigua, donated money to Harvard in 1815 to create the first endowed law professorship. The emblem became the seal of Harvard Law School in 1937.
Browne's letter calls for Harvard to send reparations as recognition and compensation of Antiguan slaves in establishing the Law School.
"Reparation from Harvard would compensate for its development on the backs of our people," Browne wrote. "Reparation is not aid; it is not a gift; it is compensation to correct the injustices of the past and restore equity. Harvard should be in the forefront of this effort."
Bacow responded to Browne's request for reparations in a letter Tuesday, noting actions taken during Faust's presidency to acknowledge Harvard's connections to slavery, including the installation of a memorial commemorating the enslaved individuals that contributed to Harvard Law School's founding.
Bacow said he considers the memorial's establishment — along with the removal of the Law School's seal containing the Royall family crest in 2016 — to be in "significant steps" toward acknowledging Harvard's history, but noted the need for additional work.
"We recognize that there is more work to be done," Bacow wrote. "Indeed, Harvard is determined to take additional steps to explore this institution's historical relationship with slavery and the challenging moral questions that arise when confronting past injustices and their legacies. Harvard is also committed to working with other educational institutions to study slavery and its legacy."
Browne's letter comes as Harvard has increasingly been forced to reckon with its ties to slavery in recent years. In March, Tamara K. Lanier filed a lawsuit claiming that the University possessed and profited from daguerreotypes of her ancestors that are believed to be the oldest existing photographs of American slaves.
The letter also notes that Sir Ronald M. Sanders, Antigua and Barbuda's Ambassador to the United States, has previously written two letters to Harvard — one addressed to Bacow in November 2018 and the other to former University President Drew G. Faust in October 2016. Those letters also outlined demands for reparations to be contributed to education in Antigua and Barbuda.
"Ambassador Sanders pointed out that, consequently, the reputation that Harvard enjoys internationally is intertwined with the dark legacy of Royall's Antigua slaves who died in oppression, uncompensated for their lives in slavery and their death in cruelty," Browne wrote in his letter. "In this context, he sought a genuine effort by Harvard to make amends to the people of Antigua for the gains Harvard enjoyed at the expense of their kinfolk.
"Specifically, in his letter to you of 26 November 2018, Ambassador Sanders proposed assistance from Harvard to Antigua and Barbuda in the field of education as a form of making amends to the country," Browne added.
Browne reiterated Sanders' argument that education is crucial for the future development of Antigua and Barbuda and asked that reparations be directed to the University of West Indies at Five Islands. He proposed a meeting between University officials and Antigua and Barbuda government representatives to reach an agreement.
University spokesperson Jonathan L. Swain provided The Crimson with a copy of a reply to Sanders' 2016 letter from Faust's former Chief of Staff Lars P.K. Madsen.
In the reply, Madsen wrote that Harvard Law School had already taken steps to address its relationship to slavery, including retiring its seal. He also noted that the University continued to commission research into its ties to slavery.
Harvard Law School spokesperson Jeff Neal referred The Crimson to the University's comment.
Several higher education institutions including the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom and the Princeton Theological Seminary have already committed reparations to Antigua and Barbuda to compensate for their historical ties to slavery in the Carribean, according to Browne's letter. Bacow's response did not indicate whether Harvard planned to follow suit.

Places To Visit in Russia
Table of Сontent:
Irkutsk and Lake Baikal
Russia, the country with the most extensive territory in the world, borders European and Asian countries as well as the Pacific and Arctic oceans with the capital in Moscow. Its climate ranges from tundra and forests to subtropical beaches.
The most well-known sights to see in Russia are in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Other parts of Russia are less touristy, but not the least interesting. It would be impossible to see everything the country has to offer in one or two visits, but a few places are not to be missed and should be included in your itinerary.
Moscow, the capital of Russia, is also well-known for its unique architecture, artistic endeavors, including ballet and symphonies. The most famous piece of architecture is St. Basil's Cathedral. One of the best displays of Russian art is housed at the Tretyakov Gallery. The scenic Kremlin is also of interest in Moscow and is included in every city tour.
Founded in 1703 by Tsar Peter the Great, St. Petersburg was the imperial capital of Russia. During the Soviet era, its name was changed to Leningrad. Nowadays the city is a popular northern cruise destination and one of the most recommended places to visit in Russia. It is known as the cultural capital of Russia.
St. Petersburg is home to Hermitage Museum which offers visitors both world and Russian art. In St. Petersburg you can find unique historical works of architecture like The Catherine Palace located in the town of Tsarskoye Selo, 30 km south of St. Petersburg, Peterhof, the Grand Summer Palace in a beautiful location with fountains and unique sculptures.
Near St. Petersburg is one of the oldest settlements in Russia - Novgorod. It is worth a day trip to explore the famous 11th-century St. Sophia's Cathedral and Novgorod's buzzing Kremlin, the heart of downtown.
Yekaterinburg is located in the Ural Mountains and is a highly industrial city. It is, however, mostly known as the place where Tsar Nicholas, the last tsar of Russia, and his family were executed in 1918. Today's Yekaterinburg is a vibrant cultural center with many libraries, theaters, and popular Russian rock bands. It is Russia's fourth largest city and has more than 30 museums with 300 of Nevyansk icons in one of them.
Sochi is a great winter sports destination and because of the subtropical climate and great Black Sea beaches is a resort city. In 2014 it hosted Winter Olympics and Fifa World Cup in 2018. Sochi is also known for Russian Formula 1 Grand Prix. Environmentally conscious visitors may want to explore the Caucasus Biosphere Reserve.
Veliky Novgorod, founded in the 10th century, is one of the oldest cities in Russia's far north. Some argue that the city is the birthplace of Russia as its early residents invited the Scandinavian Prince Rurik to rule Russia who created a ruling dynasty that lasted 750 years. The highlights are the Saint Sophia Cathedral and Bell Tower, the oldest in Russia; the Hanseatic Fountain, museums, especially the ones on iron, porcelain, and history. Veliky Novgorod is an excellent place to try Russian borscht and buy bio-honey.
Surrounded by mountains and bays Vladivostok, is a stunningly beautiful city in eastern Russia. Going on the Trans-Siberian Railway, Vladivostok is its the last stop. It is also Russia's largest port on the Pacific Ocean.
The city offers many cultural attractions such as theaters, museums, and concerts. You may want to stroll through the city's lovely parks, as well as Minny Gorodok, once a military base.
Nizhny Novgorod is Russia's fifth largest city. It is based at the confluence of the Volga and Oka rivers. Nizhny Novgorod was founded as a fortress in the 13th century. During the Soviet regime, it was known as Gorky, after Maxim Gorky, a famous Soviet poet, who was born here. The old town was walled in with beautiful buildings but was devastated by Bolsheviks, and the Archangel Cathedral is about the only thing remained standing. In Nizhny Novgorod, the travelers can immerse themselves in Russian art and architecture, with more than 600 monuments and statues, and at least 200 art museums and concert halls.
Irkutsk is the most popular stop on the Trans-Siberian Railway. With Lake Baikal only 45 km away, the city is the best base to explore the lake.
Lake Baikal is an ancient, huge freshwater lake in the mountainous Russian region of Siberia, north of the Mongolian border and is the deepest lake in the world. It offers a network of hiking paths called the Great Baikal Trail. In summer it is famous for wildlife-spotting tours, in wintertime for ice-skating and dog sledding. Besides, the train journey from Moscow is a fantastic adventure in itself.
Irkutsk is famous for decorated wooden houses standing beside standard Soviet block apartments. It's wide boulevards surprise with not too much traffic for a city of more than 500,000 souls. Irkutsk served as a place of exile for intellectuals, artists, and dissidents, which may be why the city has five universities. Several churches, including Ascension Church, and geology and history museums call Irkutsk home.
Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan, is a city where European and Asian cultures meet. This lovely city with towering churches and minarets is also known as the third capital of Russia, after Moscow and St. Petersburg. Kazan shows the highest standards of living in Russia. The highlights are the remains of the Kazan Kremlin that was destroyed by Ivan the Terrible, the Kul-Sharif Mosque, named after a man killed defending Kazan from Ivan and Bauman Street, a pedestrian shopping street.
The Golden Ring is comprised of several charming cities circled outside Moscow. The countryside is dominated by cherry orchards, unique cottages, iconic churches and onion-shaped domes making this region a special place to visit. It is arguably one of the oldest urban areas of Russia. The best way to view the cities and towns in this region is making a loop beginning and ending in Moscow. The Golden Ring includes Vladimir, Suzdal, Kostroma, Yaroslavl, Rostov Velikiy, Pereslavl-Zalesskiy and Sergiev Posad. The cities of the Ring will surprise you with white stone churches, monasteries, fortresses and many other sights.
Kamchatka is Russia's most scenically dramatic region. It is a volcanic peninsula of extraordinary primal beauty - hot springs and snow-capped peaks and amazing rivers. There are not many visitors there, but those who go there leave awestruck.
Densely forested and remote, the region is a paradise for nature lovers. Bears and wolves roam freely across the Russian frontier, and animal hides allow visitors a close encounter. The landscape is threaded by hiking routes and waterways navigable by canoe. Lakes offer idyllic kayaking and boating. In winter, outdoor pursuits include fantastic skiing, dog-sledding, snowshoeing or just enjoying the spectacular white landscapes.
The country is so big that there indeed is something for everyone there, whether you're interested in historic cities and monuments, dramatic landscapes and scenery, or world-class museums of art, literature, and culture.

I have been to AI twice this fall, on state park side. Going this Sat to National Park, parking and taking my cart along the beach to wet a line not too far down. Follow the reports here; bottom line, you never know, but then again, that's what keeps us going back. (Tough to sell to my 12 year old son) It sounds like the vets that know what they're doing are catching fish every now and again; you can learn alot by visiting here quite frequently.
Every time I have gone we have caught fish...mostly blues in the surf on mullet rigs, occasional flounder (out of season), doggies. Haven't had anything that I want pick up an 8 and bait fishfinder yet...but there's always this Saturday.
Go to the national park side and park in the South Beach parking lot. Walkover the dune and setup wherever you think is best. There are always nice fish caught on the walkon beaches.
The only road that leads into the parks (On the MD side) is RT611. you crossover the Verazano bridge and about 700ft down the road is a right turn to get into the national park, or if you go straight it will take you to the state park.
The only road that leads into the parks (On the <acronym title="Maryland">MD</acronym> side) is RT611. you crossover the Verazano bridge and about 700ft down the road is a right turn to get into the national park, or if you go straight it will take you to the state park.
175 takes you to the Virginia end of Assateague Island (aka Chincoteague). 611 takes you to the Maryland end of Assateague Island where you have both Assateague National Sea Shore and Assateague State Park. Most people seem to fish the national park end.
The state park campground closed a couple of weeks ago. The national seashore has camping year round.
Don't just look at the south beach lot. I have caught fish at the north beach lot and the state park beach too. Look at low tide and pick out the best area. Doesn't have to be at south beach.

Haus Alkire is an American fashion label headed by design partners Julie Alkire and Jason Alkire. Both the Alkires are members of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). Established in 2012, the line is made in New York City.

Founders

The label was founded by Julie Alkire and Jason Alkire. Besides co-designing garments, Jason employs techniques in painting, graphic design, and photography to create the custom prints used in the collections. Prior to his fashion designer career Jason Alkire was an advertising executive and the publisher and creative director of SPOON magazine. The magazine was distributed by Time Warner. Julie Alkire was the editor-in-chief of the same magazine before she began her fashion career. She is known for her work on her eponymous line Julie Haus.

The first collection (Autumn/Winter 2012) was shown at New York Fashion Week on February 14, 2012. The designers sought inspiration from the artist Lou Jie and the actress Elsa Martinelli's portrayal of Belle Star in the 1968 film The Belle Star Story. The New York Fashion Week event was held at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

The second collection was inspired by Hana, Hawaii. The designers used images of an imaginary creature along with Plumeria and bamboo trees as the subject for their textile prints. The showing was held at a home in the West Village area of New York City.

Awards

The designers were awarded the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Award for Womenswear in January 2012. The award recognizes emerging American fashion talent.

In February 2012, the designers were named to the W Hotels Fashion Next program.

Michael Arrington, founder of TechCrunch, a blog focusing on technology startups, continues to cause quite a stir in the journalism world. Arrington announced last week that he is starting his own fund (CrunchFund), with the help of AOL, that will invest in small startup companies and has been under a barrage of criticism, mostly from journalists, for this unique arrangement.
Their main complaint is that Arrington, and other TechCrunch writers, can use the site, a highly trafficked blog ranking number 2 on Technorati's list of Top 100 blogs (as of today), to potentially post comments and promote the same companies his fund holds positions in.
As reported by Claire Cain Miller in the New York Times, the journalism world is claiming this type of arrangement violates the covenant of all journalism; reporters should avoid conflicts of interest by maintaining distance from the people, organizations and issues they cover. And, once again, fuels the debate over whether bloggers should be held to the same standards as journalists.

Dash Core Group CEO: 200 Venezuelan Merchants Sign up to Accept Dash Payments a Month
dash-core-group-ceo-200-venezuelan-merchants-sign-up-to-accept-dash-payments-a-month
In #Altcoins
Dash Core Group CEO Ryan Taylor has recently claimed over 200 merchants sign up to use Dash per month in Venezuela.
Venezuela is a country goign through one of the deepest recessions ever, making it worthwhile for residents to use cryptocurrencies.
Dash Core Group CEO Ryan Taylor has recently claimed Dash, short for digital cash, is growing in Venezuela. So much so that 200 local merchants sign up to accept the cryptocurrency every month, at a rate that's been growing.
Venezuela has been dealing with one of the deepest recessions ever. The country's fiat currency, the bolivar, has been losing its value at an astounding pace, as according to Bloomberg's Café Con Leche Index one cup of coffee costs 2.5 million bolivars, up from 2,000 over the past 12 months.
The country recently re-denominated its currency to tie it to its oil-backed cryptocurrency, the Petro (PTR), which was launched in February of this year as a way for the country to bypass sanctions and draw in foreign investment through a token sale. Earlier this month, Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro announced the minimum wage would set to the equivalent of 0.5 Petros, about $30.
Given Maduro's moves, the BBC reported that Venezuela became a "paralyzed country" as the economic changes confused individuals and businesses who don't understand how the system works, and are currently facing restricted cash withdrawals.
The turmoil is helping cryptocurrencies like Dash grow in the country. Speaking to Business Insider, Dash Core Group CEO Ryan Taylor stated:
We are seeing tens of thousands of wallet downloads from the country each month. Earlier this year, Venezuela became our No. 2 market, even ahead of China and Russia, which are, of course, huge into cryptocurrency right now.
At press time, Dash is trading at $138 after falling nearly 7% in the last 24-hour period. Its price fell along with that of most other cryptocurrencies, who've been enduring a selloff after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rejected various Bitcoin ETF proposals.
The Dash Core Group itself is funded by the Dash network, which divides its mining rewards between miners, masternodes, and a "treasury," a fund created to help the cryptocurrency's reach and increase adoption. About 10% of fees go to the treasury.
Per Business Insider, the group has invested over $1 million in Venezuela in an attempt to encourage adoption. The funds were reportedly spent in "everything from billboards to sales reps." As a result, merchant adoption has reportedly been growing, with names like Subway and Calvin Klein embracing the cryptocurrency.
It took them a long time to get the first 50, first 100 [retailers]. But at the beginning of July, the number was around 400, and we're already at 800. We're at this point signing up more than 200 a month.
Maduro's economic plans, he said, only helped accelerate Dash's growth. Per his words, 94 new Venezuelan merchants were added to a list of worldwide businesses that accept the cryptocurrency this week, up from the usual 50.
Dash's Features
As CryptoGlobe covered, Dash has recently claimed it's the most widely adopted cryptocurrency in Venezuela, as it last month touted having over 10,000 users and 500 merchants.
As Taylor put it, accepting credit card payments is counterproductive in Venezuela, as rampant inflation makes the money worth significantly less when the merchant receives it, three days later. This, he added, is a problem Dash solves as it has near-instant transactions.
The cryptocurrency's transaction fees are relatively low and its network – unlike that of Bitcoin and Ethereum – hasn't been dealing with a very large number of transactions, meaning fees are somewhat stable and confirmation times fast.
If Dash succeeds in Venezuela, Taylor added, it plans on branching out to countries dealing with high inflation. These include Turkey, whose economic woes may lead to increased crypto adoption, Ukraine and Argentina.
We're going to try and be successful first in Venezuela before branching out to try this in other countries.
Notably, the cryptocurrency isn't as decentralized as Bitcoin to some. Its masternodes are essentially large dash holders that get rewarded for helping maintain the network. These, coupled with a bug-related instamine in its early days, mean some adopters could be making thousands of dollars a day.

Quick and Easy Fancy Hairstyles!
Chignon is a popular French hairstyle from the phrase "chignon du cou," which means nape of the neck. Chignon is one of the oldest hairstyles that began in the Ancient Greece, where Athenian women commonly wore the style with gold or ivory handcrafted hairpins. Athenian men wore the style as well, but they fastened their chignons with a clasp of "golden grasshoppers". There are lots of variations of chignon, and this tutorial from thebeautydepartment.com shows the simplest way to create the style with short hair.
In the video, Kristin Ess lights up the way by narrating how to create chignon with only a headband, and optional curls. This hairstyle is perfect for formal and fancy occasions, especially when you're running out of time. It is incredibly easy to do that can be done in as fast as 10 minutes.
Shiny and sparkly headbands are encouraged to use for fancy events. You can also use hairspray to keep the hair in place for longer hours.
Check this awesome video of how to make a simple chignon.
Can anyone say that this magnificent hairstyle can be done in less than 10 minutes?

E3: 'Titanfall' gameplay shows mechs, explosions
Christopher Sheridan
Update: Titanfall will also be coming to PC
Respawn's debut game, Titanfall, finally got a gameplay reveal during Microsoft's press conference today at E3. The game looks about how you would expect it to, with some neat twists.
The E3 footage showed what looked like some multiplayer footage in a small demolished town. Players can either run around on their own or get into a mech, which is available after a certain interval. The weapons look like semi-futuristic versions of existing ones, but the mechs definitely look cool, if reminiscent of the ones from the movie Avatar. This mode looks like a basic deathmatch, but I'd expect Respawn to come up with some creative mech-based modes. At this time, it's unclear whether the game is multiplayer only.
Again, there are some pretty clever additions to the core gameplay. Infantry can employ limited-use jetpacks as well as do moderate amounts of free-runnings, as in the trailer the player was able to rebound off two billboards to get to a different building. In a mech, you can physically rip a human out of another mech and toss him aside, or as a human, can scale a mech to kill its driver. While it's hard to say before playing it, it looks like Respawn is working hard to make sure things stay balanced. For now, the game is set for the Xbox systems exclusively, but the rumor of whether the game will eventually make its way to other consoles has not yet been addressed. The game is set for Spring 2014.
Will mech combat entice you to play Titanfall? Tell us in the comments, or visit us on Facebook and Twitter!

California Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. has vetoed a bill that would have required the state's Notaries Public to report instances of suspected financial abuse of elders and dependent adults.
In a statement issued with the veto of AB 477, Brown said Notaries generally have only "fleeting" contact with potential victims. "Others who are expressly mandated by law to report abuse typically have some level of relationship or more regular contact with the elder or dependent adult, or have some level of training in identifying abuse," he said.
Assembly Bill 477 would add notaries public to the list of professionals mandated to report suspected financial abuse of elder and dependent adults.
I am not convinced that notaries, with their very limited interactions, should be placed in the position of being a mandated reporter. Others who are expressly mandated by law to report abuse typically have some level of relationship or more regular contact with the elder or dependent adult, or have some level of training in identifying abuse. For mandated reporting of financial abuse, officers and employees of financial institutions are required to report because of their access to financial information.
Notaries generally have no more than fleeting contact with individuals who request their services. If some transaction or situation should arise that gives them pause or appears suspect, notaries may already make a report without this law.
I believe that voluntary education and outreach efforts to notaries about financial abuse would better suit this class of professionals.

The Hall Art Foundation is pleased to announce a group exhibition curated by American artist Eric Fischl to be held in its galleries in Reading, Vermont. Approximately sixty-five artists are represented in Hope and Hazard: A Comedy of Eros, which includes over eighty paintings, photographs, works on paper and sculptures selected by Fischl from the Hall and Hall Art Foundation collections. In this fresh and provocative show, Fischl illustrates the absurd extremes associated with romantic and sexual love. Desire, passion, vulnerability, disappointment, pleasure and torment are expressed as a Greek or Shakespearian comedy – epic and tragic, hopeful and hazardous.
In Little Shaver (2005), Nicole Eisenman paints a straight-on portrait of a male whose face is being shaved with a straight razor. The female barber kisses the man's shaving cream-covered cheek while slicing his neck with the blade. Atop the man's head squats another small female figure, urinating onto the tip of his ear. Amid this scene that is at once tender, violent and absurd, the man maintains a deadpan, forward gaze.
The extremes associated with eros can also be perceived in the sculpted form. While Yves Klein's deep blue sculpture of a female torso represents an idealization of the human body, A.R. Penck's phallic and roughly hewn wood sculpture, Untitled (1983), is imbued with a certain violence and existential isolation.
The melodrama often associated with love and romance can be seen in Walter Robinson's Suburban Affair (1979), where a man embraces a woman reclined on a sofa. In a moment of pulp fiction passion, the strap of the woman's dress falls from her shoulder, her red dress rises above her knees, and her cocktail glass is tipped over in her hand. Painted from a film still featuring Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson, Judith Eisler's Liz & Rock (2014) also depicts a moment of romantic tension between two glamorous movie stars, sexual icons of their time.
In C. Smith (1972), John Kacere's curvy and fleshy painting of a woman's buttocks illustrates an unselfconscious and uncomplicated eroticism. On the other hand, the serpentine entanglement of the figures in Peter Eide's Untitled (Blanket of Stars) (2015) alludes to the multi-faceted complications that can also be present in sexual and romantic partnerships.
Hope and Hazard: A Comedy of Eros includes works by Siegfried Anzinger, Alexander Archipenko, Robert Arneson, Dan Attoe, Georg Baselitz, Lillian Bassman, Ellen Berkenblit, Katherine Bernhardt, Norbert Bisky, Josef Breitenbach, André Butzer, William Copley, John De Andrea, Carroll Dunham, Marcel Dzama, Peter Eide, Nicole Eisenman, Judith Eisler, Tracey Emin, Lee Friedlander, Dan Gluibizzi, Bendix Harms, Georg Herold, Jocelyn Hobbie, Thomas Houseago, Ridley Howard, Chantal Joffe, John Kacere, Craig Kauffman, Yves Klein, Jeff Koons, David Levinthal, Judith Linhares, Tala Madani, Robert Mapplethorpe, Tony Matelli, Jonathan Meese, Bjarne Melgaard, Gladys Nilsson, Jim Nutt, Julian Opie, C.O. Paeffgen, A.R. Penck, Enoc Perez, Alessandro Pessoli, Erwin Pfrang, Francis Picabia, Nathaniel Mary Quinn, Mel Ramos, Man Ray, Bettina Rheims, Jason Rhoades, Walter Robinson, Aura Rosenberg, David Salle, Peter Saul, Ryan Schneider, Lara Schnitger, Pieter Schoolwerth, Joan Semmel, David Smith, Luc Tuymans, Tom Wesselmann, Hannah Wilke, Erwin Wurm and Lisa Yuskavage.
Born in New York City in 1948, Eric Fischl is one of the most influential American figurative painters and sculptors working today. After growing up in the suburbs of Long Island, he earned his B.F.A. from the California Institute for the Arts in 1972, and subsequently taught at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax between 1974 and 1978. Fischl is most well known for provocative, large-scale paintings of middle-class suburban America that are imbued with psychological and often uncomfortable sexual undertones. His paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints have been the subject of numerous solo and major group exhibitions. His work is represented in many prominent institutional collections worldwide, as well as prestigious private and corporate collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Museum of Modem Art, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the St. Louis Art Museum, St. Louis; and the Louisiana Museum of Art, Denmark, amongst many others. In 2011, Fischl organized America: Now and Here, a multi-disciplinary exhibition of the United State's most celebrated visual artists, musicians, poets, playwrights, and filmmakers designed to spark a national conversation about American identity through the arts. The project launched in Kansas City before traveling to Detroit and Chicago. Fischl is a Fellow at both the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He lives and works in Sag Harbor, NY with his wife, the painter April Gornik.
This exhibition contains sexually explicit content and may not be suitable for all audiences, including minors. Viewer discretion is advised.
