We were booked for four nights at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City and I was informed on the phone (having requested two beds) that room types were not guaranteed. Having arrived at 8:30p.m., I thought that they would definitely have a room with two beds clean, but alas, they did not. Fortunately, the room we were assigned had a king size bed as well as a sectional large enough to comfortably sleep two small (eight and five) children.
Furthermore, all of their rooms come with a fridge, so if you don't want to necessarily shell out for every single meal, you can bring some beverages and Lunchables or deli meat and cheese, or something of the like and have somewhere to store it all. While casino rooms generally seem to be improving in this regard, it remains true that many casinos do not offer refrigerators in all rooms, so that is a nicety that we were glad to have available to us.
The H2O rooftop pool, located on the sixth floor, is also great for children. There is plenty of walking space surrounding the pool, so there is almost no risk of unintentionally falling in. Furthermore, there is also a relatively large sitting pool with loungers that can effectively double as a baby pool. They have four hot tubs, but as I discovered, kids under twelve are not allowed in regardless of whether or not they have parental accompaniment.
On the fifth floor roof, from which people using the pool area can simply take the stairs up and down, there is a volleyball net, corn hole games and an oversized beer pong type game that people use larger balls and garbage cans to play.
Additionally, on the second floor on the way to the parking garage, they have an arcade with a wide variety of games for which tickets (some machines dispense them fairly liberally, particularly the Video Poker game) can be obtained for prizes. The kids loved that, as well.
Finally, the vast majority of the restaurants in the Golden Nugget are accessible without going onto the casino floor. Too often eateries in casinos, especially the buffet, are inaccessible without going onto the casino floor, and as a result, kids effectively can't eat there. The Golden Nugget is supremely well-designed in this regard with the majority of the eateries surrounding the casino floor in an almost three-quarter circle, making everything not just accessible, but also easy to find.
2.) Don't Walk with Food!
I parked on Atlantic Avenue, perhaps a third of a mile from the establishment, and set off to pick up the food. I must not have been dressed well enough because I encountered no issues on the way to the pizza shop and I did not encounter any issues as I stood outside of the shop and smoked a mini-cigar while waiting for the pizza to get finished. However, when I left the location to return to my car with the food, I had four different people ask me to give them a dollar, (apparently, now that I have pizza, I must have money) as well as one other person ask me for a slice of pizza. I was a little worried that someone might try to get cute, so I made it a point to carry the food in a way that at least kept my right arm free in case I needed it.
The next situation involving walking with food was on the Boardwalk when my girlfriend got to enjoy the experience of having a seagull swoop down at her and steal a bite of her ice cream. Of course, she threw it away, but that caused my son to panic and force his ice cream on her because he didn't want a seagull swooping down at him...in the meantime...the seagulls, strangely, left my pizza completely unmolested.
I wish I could remember the name of the place, but if you go onto the Boardwalk via the Trump Taj Mahal, the first partially enclosed food stand on the right has some amazing prices! My personal favorite is an epic-sized slice of pizza (two plates) for six-something dollars. Once again, while I tend to be partial to deep dish pizzas, this thin-crust sliced was positively delicious with a great crunch to it, yet the interior of the crust was perfectly soft! Well done!
I'm starting to think that a few people pay rent on their Boardwalk seats. Three days in a row we went to the beach, and three days in a row there was the same somewhat dirty-looking old guy on the same exact seat in the same exact spot, doing nothing. He wasn't begging, he wasn't singing, he wasn't playing an instrument; he was just sitting there staring at who knows what. He didn't seem to move. I went back to that spot later on one evening to find him gone, so apparently he leaves sometimes.
There is also an African-American woman who seems to park herself on the same bench, perhaps in front of or just past Resorts, and she sings a bunch of Folk or Religious songs for whatever people want to tip her for doing so. I suppose that's not entirely unusual in and of itself, I just found it interesting that she doesn't seem to move around at all.
We were there on a Sunday-Wednesday, so the lack of traffic may have been somewhat due to it being during the week, but I found Atlantic City to be immensely drivable. That's not just because of the lack of traffic, but it is also due to the fact that the layout makes it incredibly easy to get from one casino to another regardless of whether the casino of departure or arrival is on the Boardwalk or the Marina. I'm pretty confident this statement is true because my sense of direction (other than N-S-E-W) is nothing short of embarrassingly poor, yet I knew how to get everywhere after being there only once.
Bally's/Caesar's: I think it was technically Caesar's garage, though I can't be sure. In any event, the garage is shared with some sort of urgent care or hospital, but they are on opposite sides of one another. In addition to that, it is difficult to tell what side you are actually parked on until you get to the elevators (there will be a sign there) because you get turned around and around so much. Even though it said I was in Caesar's garage, somehow I ended up walking straight into Bally's Wild Wild West Casino (don't know how) and from there I had a Hell of a time making my way to the Boardwalk to walk to Tropicana.
The Trump Taj Mahal: It's not so much that the self-parking itself is bad or terribly confusing, it's simply that it is a bit of a trek to get to the actual casino from it. Originally, I tried going through the elevators inside and walking from there to some other set of elevators and eventually to the casino, but those elevators didn't seem to have anything to do with the actual casino. The final time I parked there, I found that one can exit from the second floor essentially straight into the parking garage, but from there, I had to walk all over the place to find the section (1i) in which my car was located.
The only thing that prevents The Taj from having the worst parking garage is that it is both not difficult to find the exit, furthermore, it is not difficult to find one's way back into the garage if one simply goes outside and approaches the self-park (on foot) via the walkway. As many people probably know, The Taj is not the busiest place in the world right now, so you can usually park on the first level of the garage, often in the 1h section.
Harrah's: I don't remember anything about the Harrah's garage being particularly easy or difficult, so I'll put it here.
Golden Nugget: Not only does Golden Nugget have the best designed parking garage (my opinion) of the four that I parked in Atlantic City, but they also have one of the better ones I've seen in my life. The entrance to the garage results in looping around all of the floors as one looks for a spot, which goes around the same way on every single floor, and then there is a single exit chute that winds around towards one of the ends and is a common exit. Other than the exit, the entire garage seems meant to be one way, at least right now, because they seem to be doing construction on the side away from the elevators on most of the floors. The construction actually has the unintended consequence of minimizing congestion, making it even easier to navigate through the garage at a reasonable speed.
First of all, let me say that I appreciate the presence of the lifeguards, have respect for them and what they do, and understand that prevention is the best policy. The best day a lifeguard can have is when he doesn't have to get in the water to save someone.
With that out of the way, many of these lifeguards were extremely frustrating with respect to handling crowd control. One day, it seemed like they were constantly blowing their whistles and moving everyone around, so you couldn't even really get into the groove of swimming, or hunting for seashells, letting waves hit you or anything along those lines without being relocated. Furthermore, on one of the days, they said not to get into the water below your waist, but I kept getting whistled and waved back in for being, 'Too deep,' even though it's just a simple matter of me be taller than most people. I also like to go as deep as allowed because digging around with your feet when you find some sediment seems to be the way to find the biggest and uncracked seashells, which I was trying to collect for the kids.
While I understand that the majority of Atlantic City visitors are not actually from New Jersey, New Jersey has long had a reputation of being filled with rude and inconsiderate people. I'm pleased to say that my experience in Atlantic City was almost the exact opposite of that.
First of all, the service at just about every casino, in every department, was exemplary, in my opinion. The only person that I encountered that I didn't care too much for was the Player Services representative at Resorts because she kept trying to rush me along after I had signed up for the card despite the fact that I had a few questions for her. It's not as though there was some huge line behind me, either, there were perhaps two people behind me and we completed the getting the card part of the exchange in almost only thirty seconds.
Other than that, the service was unbelievably good, and I would suggest, just about on par with Las Vegas. I was particularly impressed with two different cocktail waitresses, one at Resorts and the other at Golden Nugget. The one at Golden Nugget impressed me because she said she was just going to bring me a Heineken every other time she made a round, and just to tell her if I wanted to slow down or when I was all done for the night. Of course, I continued to tip her a single on every one of them, but her attentiveness and not needing to be flagged down and asked for what she already knew I wanted was quite nice. The cocktail waitress at Resorts impressed me because I had ordered only two Heinekens within a one hour period because I needed to concentrate on what I was doing and was not going to take any chances on catching a buzz. The impressive part came when, four hours later and in a different section, she remembered me and asked, 'Heineken?' when I waved at her.
Beyond that, the gentleman who seems to either be the proprietor or manager of Chelsea II pizza was fun to talk to and he told me all about how they got rid of the power outlets because of too many, 'Hoodlums,' sitting around making people afraid to come in. As soon as he got rid of the chargers, they all stopped coming. I told him that he should have kept the outlets but just required a total of $5 an hour in purchases for being there, which would just be a slice and a drink per hour, perfectly reasonable. He said he'd actually consider that.
Other than those people, just random people that I encountered in the Golden Nugget, Trump Taj Mahal and Resorts seemed eager to chat. Most of the people playing machines around me talked me up for seemingly no reason, which is a pleasant change of pace from most casinos in which people seem much more than content to keep to themselves.
I didn't actually have any plans on going into a bar, but just out of curiosity, I drove around Atlantic City (and paid attention on my walk to Chelsea II) to see how many there were. Other than strip clubs, though, I don't recall really seeing too many bars. There appeared to be plenty of liquor and beer stores all over the place, but very few, if any, actual sit down bars.
It almost makes me wonder if even the residents of Atlantic City tends to go to one casino or another when they want to drink, but that would definitely be different than Vegas, which has plenty of non-casino bars. Of course, the bars around Las Vegas are allowed to have bartop video poker games, so perhaps that is the difference.
There are some fabulous diners around Atlantic City, and the two that I went to both had a 50's-type design. The first night that we came in, we stopped at the Silver Coin Diner in Hammonton, New Jersey, which is located on White Horse Pike.
Initially, I was a little alarmed by the sheer size of the menu, because it usually isn't a good sign when a menu spans several pages and has more than seventy different entrees/sandwiches. That generally means that they have a lot to offer, but they're not particularly good at making any of it. That was definitely not the case at the Silver Coin whereupon I enjoyed a bison burger and fries, my girlfriend had some sort of other burger that I can't remember, my son had turkey, stuffing and fries and my daughter had a hot dog. Granted, burgers aren't too difficult to cook, but both of ours were excellent. I don't recommend the turkey, though, it just tasted like Banquet meal turkey. When I combine the price of the diner, the quality of the food, the varied selection and the aesthetic appeal, I'm inclined to give it about an 8/10.
The other diner was one at which we stopped for breakfast on the way back, and that was the Harbor Diner in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, just a few miles down 30 West from Atlantic City. The service at this diner was excellent, I had a very well-prepared and evenly distributed gyro omelette, my girlfriend and son both had a waffle (extremely light and fluffy, but with a nice crisp on the outside though not burnt) and two fried eggs, while my daughter just had some eggs and sausage. The service at the diner was fantastic, and the proprietor (after I had mentioned the Silver Coin and how much I like New Jersey diners) wanted to know which I preferred, but I told him I couldn't answer because I had breakfast at one and dinner at the other. I would still score this diner as a 9/10, which is a higher score than The Silver Coin, but it could theoretically go either down or up were I to eat dinner there.
Those are my ten somewhat random musings from my most recent trip to Atlantic City. Has anyone else seen the somewhat ruddy old guy or the singing lady on the bench? Do you have any other diners in or around Atlantic City that you would highly recommend to me? Are there any other oddities that I may have missed? Please leave a comment and let me know, and as always, thanks for reading!
The singing lady is famous for her singing, perhaps infamous. She made the news I think, but not sure, because they tried getting rid of her.
Her singing is atrocious, but makes me smile-still no tip. I think my sister spoke with the lady once and she was friendly.
as far as restaurants // bars that you probably would have loved (especially if u want to strike up conversation with locals) -- Irish pub and pic a Lili bar&grill... They're just off the boardwalk near resorts casino... We always make it a point to stop at both of these places.
No tip from me, either, though I would have tipped if I had stood around and listened to her. I'm not sure I would describe her singing as, 'Atrocious,' though she admittedly wasn't very good. Her voice did have a cheerful quality to it that somewhat compensated for her lack of skill.
Thanks for the killer tip! I'll check those out!


WOW, you think you know a person… Finally, after many months, I went to the protest at the White House. Our very own Emmaline has been there for 213 days. Wait, that's now 214. Through heat and cold, sweat and snow. Day after day after day. 214 days. That's commitment.
I'm ashamed to admit that it took me that long to stop by and see it… but I think somehow I knew how hard it would be to attend. Even as they were getting underway, and a small crowd of people started to gather, I was already feeling uncomfortable. Many of the people gathered were only slightly interested, while others were eager to be dismissive or even derisive. And everyone, it seemed, was unimpressed by the– shall we say– lack of professionalism. All of us are so oversaturated with overproduced, slick, professional presentations that it's a little underwhelming to see several ordinary citizens speaking passionately and off-the-cuff about matters close to their hearts. It's not professional, or polished, and so it seems ripe for dismissiveness.
And wow, does that ever happen! Some low moans, some quiet jokes, some smart-aleck cracks. Escalating all the way up to people who will shout and run around and grab the signs on display…. one man was running laps around the group, shouting the whole time. If you care about your friend who is up there, you can't help but want to protect her from all of this.
But that was exactly the power of this protest. This was the prophetic genius, embodied in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue. Because this is a non-violent, peaceful protest. So hecklers are allowed to heckle. Sign-grabbers are politely asked to put the signs back. Police and Secret Service are thanked and honored. Profanity is not allowed. And a funny retort will earn you a smile or even a snicker from the designated speaker.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you about the powerful, brilliant humor embedded in this protest. They are deadly serious about their grave concerns about the President, but they don't take themselves too seriously. You know her as Emmaline, but there she is known as Trumpet Lady. And there is also Snare Drum Lady, and Tambourine Lady. And Dragon Lady, who paces back and forth delivering an almost religious litany of denunciations… clothed in a furry dragon costume, with a flag draped across her back, while waving another flag. Trumpet Lady (aka, Emmaline) will cue up popular karaoke songs, but sing lyrics that have been adapted for the occasion. It's pretty cheesy, yes, but that's part of the point. Trumpet Lady has a fantastic voice, and the lyrics are hilarious, and soon people are singing along and busting out their best dance moves.
Here's some prophetic truth about prophetic protest: if you're going to make fun of a person in a Dragon costume, guess which one of you looks foolish? If you're going to try to shout down a woman unapologetically belting out I Will Survive, which one of you is the dumb one? If you can laugh at yourself, you've gained some kind of superpower status— you are invincible!
The Lectionary Reading for today depicts a similar scene. There are hecklers all around, mockers, and detractors. And some folks who are even more dangerous.
Now right on the face of this, we should not take these words at face value. This is a disingenuous request (like spectators on the sidewalk). These religious leaders approach Jesus and say, "Hey, you should be quiet and keep a low profile– the Roman leader is looking to kill you!". But of course as we know from the larger narrative, these religious leaders aren't exactly on Jesus' side. They have been opposing him at every turn, and Jesus has responded in kind. So when they sidle up to Jesus and say, "Hey, friend, look out!" they are really serving their own interests.
But Jesus, at least in this situation, takes them at face value. He doesn't address their duplicity but speaks much more directly of the threat.
Jesus seems to affirm that indeed, Herod wants to kill him.
Now, this term 'fox' is not the one we used in the 70s and early 80s to describe pretty girls… not Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady".
It's a catty insult comparing the supreme leader to an animal that was considered of quite a low standing.
Jesus boldly pronounces that he will continue to do his work.
Jesus uses some incredible, touching, and particularly maternal imagery… motherly language. "I want to gather the children like a chicken gathers her chicks under her wings to protect them" It's wonderful, arresting, and counter-cultural– both then and now. Jesus is tender, nurturing, gentle. We should pause and let this sink in.
At the very same time, this passage also expresses some troubling assumptions and perspectives.
I heard a fantastic interview this week with Barbara Brown Taylor, who I absolutely love. Back in the day I read all of her published sermons, and wrote an article for a magazine, and when I met her years later she thanked me for it!
She was talking about her new book, which is about finding God in the faith of others. And in the interview, she spoke at some length about getting a letter from a man who had also been reading her published sermons. He liked them, of course, but also noted his disappointment in her use of the "language of contempt" that she was conveying.
This man, a Jewish Psychiatrist, was pointing out something that she said has knocked her off balance for years. It was the unconscious way in which she was repeating the Bible's use of language that is very unfair to Jewish people. BBT noted the irony, that while there is a lot of harsh blaming of first century Jews, the Romans get off almost scot-free. And they are the ones who destroyed Jerusalem!
This passage is a chilling example of this phenomenon, with the early identification of the 'Pharisees' and then later this language about "Jerusalem", which is a kind of circumlocution where we talk about a place instead of a person. Kinda like when people speak disparagingly of "D.C.", or "San Francisco", or "Hollywood", or "Wall Street". Those places signal certain stereotypes. And the idea that is evoked here is the way a particular religion has mistreated the prophetic messengers of that same religion.
Aside from that caveat, though, I'd like us to focus on Jesus as prophet, and the way in which he faced opposition from both civil and religious groups. That's a really big deal, and it's difficult to think of contemporary analogs to this kind of personality. Prophets so powerful, so full of challenging truth, that polite society and pious religion would like to have them killed. That's Jesus.
So, let's think about this kind of prophetic challenge. What are some of our favorite prophetic statements of Jesus? JESUS GREATEST HITS (on board?; via an amanuensis?). His most powerful prophetic statements.
Diving further, what are some prophetic truths we need to hear today? Your truth, or a message from someone else. Something that would– if you said it out loud– get you in trouble with polite society. That you perhaps wouldn't want to share with people at work.
Write down your contribution, and we can read them so you remain anonymous (prompt sheet is below).

Throughout 2020 the League has been lobbying landowners to withdraw permission for 'trail' hunting to take place on their land, as we've long known it's a smokescreen for real hunting.
And thanks to a co-ordinated effort by anti-hunting groups including the League following the leak of two training webinars from the Hunting Office, and a commitment from the police to investigate the webinar contents, landowners have been suspending trail hunting from swathes of England and Wales.
In those webinars members of hunting's top brass echo the League's own words, seeming to describe trail hunting as a "smokescreen" for chasing and killing wild animals with dogs – something that's supposed to have been illegal for 15 years.
Chris Luffingham, the League's campaign director, said: "As we near what should have been the ceremonial centre-piece of the hunting calendar, hunting is facing a crisis almost entirely of its own making.
"Not only do they seem to admit that what we've been saying for years is true, but now the public also knows what a sham trail hunting actually is.
"We have to commend Forestry England, the National Trust, United Utilities, Natural Resources Wales, Stefan Persson of H&M, the Church of England and the Lake District National Park for suspending trail hunting on their land.
"We also have to thank Petersborough Town Council and Cheshire East and Chester Council for following suit. We have written to some 80 other councils in England and Wales in the run-up to Boxing Day to urge them to tell us they will not allow trail hunting on their land."
Polling carried out by Survation and released today by the League shows 69 per cent of respondents who read an excerpt from one of the webinars believe trail hunting should be banned.
And just 25 per cent think hunting should qualify as a 'sport' in order to be exempt from the rule of six in those tier areas where that rule still applies.
Mr Luffingham added: "This polling shows there can be no doubt that trail hunting is not credible as a pastime in the eyes of the general public, and as such we strongly urge landowners to make their bans permanent and for policy makers to strengthen the Hunting Act."
Full polling tables can be found here.

Family School Preschool students, families help raise money for teacher in need
Students at Family School Preschool help teacher in need
By: Kim Tobin
A Valley teacher who has been in the classroom for 25 years is now getting some much needed help from her former students, parents and co-workers, after battling a rare disease.
Sheila Rogan has been teaching at the Family School Preschool in downtown Phoenix for several years.
Many parents told ABC15 Rogan has a unique way of pulling out a child's personality.
"She was really nice and she always came to class with a smile," said former student Jane Meany.
She was diagnosed with Inclusion-Body Myostis, also known as "IBM." It's a rare autoimmune disease that attacks the body's muscles.
This winter she suffered a fall, breaking both of her legs and one ankle. She had to have emergency surgery.
Rogan was forced to leave her job and spend time in a rehab facility. But all the people she has touched over the years are giving back.
"She has really made us better parents and we are lucky to know her," said parent Barbara Meany. "We couldn't repay her for all that she has done for us. But this is a small opportunity to help her."
Supporters started a GoFundMe account, reaching almost $7,000. They have a goal of $10,000.

THE COURIER	SUNDAY. JULY 5, 1908.
NEW YORK'S NEW MANAGER.
Norman Elberfeld, Griffith's Successor, a Scrappy and Aggressive Player.
The passing of Clarke Griffith as manager of the New York Americans will go down as one of the sensations of baseball this season. Here was what we may term an 18 carat ball player, one who knew all the angles and tricks of the game, still he was not a success as a manager, all of which goes to show that the best ball player does not always make the best leader.
Norman Elberfeld, his successor, is a close student of baseball and knows the game from A to Izzard. It has been his ambition for a long time to manage a ball club, and now President Farrell has given him the chance. He Is considered one of the best ball players in the profession. If he ever has been unpopular it was only because of his scrappy nature and trouble he has had with the umpires. Now that he holds an executive position he will probably change his style and devote all his time and attention to the task before him.
Elberfeld is a very aggressive player and "butts in" to every play he can get to. As quick as a flash and with a whip that never knew lameness, he is lightning fast on double plays and carries them through with admirable precision. He plays a very deep field and in consequence covers lots of ground. He is a player who is in the game all the time and feels aggrieved if every ball is not hit so he can make a play for it. He cannot be driven away from the plate, standing up there with all the pluck and gameness that used to distinguish Hash Jennings at bat.
Elberfeld has been playing professional baseball since 1895. He was a boy in knickerbockers when he got his first professional engagement with the Clarksville (Tenn.) club. Billy Earl was the manager of the Clarksville club in 1895. He had on his team a brother of Elberfeld, who quit the game to enter into other business. Earl was left short handed, and he sent to George Grant, who was then connected with the Southern league, asking him for another player. Grant
knew of Kid Elberfeld and his ability and he sent him to Clarksville. Manager Earl looked at the youngster in astonishment. The new arrival was a raw country boy, not ever having been away from the wilds of Walden's Ridge.
Earl wired back to Grant: "I wanted a man, not a kid."
He tried the youngster, however, and his eyes were immediately opened to the fact that he had a prize package in the youthful mountaineer.
The same article appeared in newspapers across the country. For example: July 2, 1908 News (Frederick, MD) :

Q: How to open default browser in Xamarin? I would like to open a web page in Xamarin for both Android and iOS but the code wouldn't work. Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong?
For Android, clicking the button goes through the code, but nothing happens afterward. For iOS, clicking the button does open a Safari page, but it cannot open the page, and displays a message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."
The test arg passed is: "http://www.google.com"
Thanks.
Code:
    async Task ExecuteLaunchBrowserAsync(string arg)
    {
        if (IsBusy)
            return;

        try
        {
            await CrossShare.Current.OpenBrowser(arg, new BrowserOptions
            {
                ChromeShowTitle = true,
                ChromeToolbarColor = new ShareColor
                {

A: You just need to use blow code, it will work for both Android and iOS.
void Device.OpenUri(Uri uri)

eg.
Device.OpenUri(new Uri("http://example.com"))

To work in iOS use Transport security in Info.plist
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key><true/>
</dict>

http://i.imgur.com/qqP7KHp.gif

A: The above "Device.OpenUri();" has now been deprecated so you'll have to use "Launcher.OpenAsync();" instead like so:
await Launcher.OpenAsync(new Uri("http://example.com"))

Q: Java gui layout How can I make a gui layout in java which is column based? by that i mean:
JLabel
JTextField
JLabel
JTextField
JLabel
JTextField
I want them all stacked on to of each other, rather than side by side. In the past I've used FlowLayout which isn't suitable, and gridLayout which makes each component much larger than I require. Any ideas?

A: Look at BoxLayout, but more important, go through the layout manager tutorial to get an overview of all the user-friendly layout managers.
Edit 1:
Also, GridLayout sometimes works well in this situation, but you may want to place your JTextFields inside of JPanels and add the JPanels to the grid, so that the JTextFields aren't huge looking.
Edit 2:
If you have a bunch of JTextFields with associated JLabels, I've had success and fun working from an array of String that represents the JLabel texts, and then placing the JTextFields into a Map<String, JTextField> so that I can easily get a reference to the JTextField based on it's related String.  Example to follow...
Edit 3
as promised, the example:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import javax.swing.*;

@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class LabelsAndFields {
   public static final String[] LABEL_TEXTS = {
      "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday",
      "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"};

   private JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();
   private static final int FIELD_COLS = 10;
   private Map<String, JTextField> textFieldMap = new HashMap<String, JTextField>();

   public LabelsAndFields() {
      mainPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(mainPanel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
      for (String labelText : LABEL_TEXTS) {
         JTextField textField = new JTextField(FIELD_COLS);
         textFieldMap.put(labelText, textField);
         JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
         panel.add(new JLabel(labelText), BorderLayout.NORTH);
         panel.add(textField);
         int gap = 8;
         panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(gap, gap, gap, gap));
         mainPanel.add(panel);
      }
   }

   public String getText(String labelTextKey) {
      JTextField field = textFieldMap.get(labelTextKey);
      if (field == null) {
         throw new IllegalArgumentException(labelTextKey + "is not a valid textFieldMap Key");
      }

      return field.getText();
   }

   public void setText(String labelTextKey, String text) {
      JTextField field = textFieldMap.get(labelTextKey);
      if (field == null) {
         throw new IllegalArgumentException(labelTextKey + "is not a valid textFieldMap Key");
      }

      field.setText(text);
   }

   public JPanel getMainPanel() {
      return mainPanel;
   }

   private static void createAndShowUI() {
      final LabelsAndFields labelsAndFields = new LabelsAndFields();

      JButton showAllTextBtn = new JButton(new AbstractAction("Show All Text") {
         @Override
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
            for (String labelText : LabelsAndFields.LABEL_TEXTS) {
               System.out.printf("%10s: %s%n", labelText, labelsAndFields.getText(labelText));
            }
         }
      });

      JFrame frame = new JFrame("LabelsAndFields");
      frame.getContentPane().add(labelsAndFields.getMainPanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
      frame.getContentPane().add(showAllTextBtn, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      frame.pack();
      frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
      frame.setVisible(true);
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
            createAndShowUI();
         }
      });
   }
}

A: you could use a BoxLayout and in the constructor set the layout type to Box.Y_AXIS, and with this all of the widgets will fall under the previous one added,
OR
you could still use the GridLayout but add each individual widget to its own JPanel before adding that JPanel to the GridLayout, that will prevent the oversizing problem that you would normally have, and btw you dont have to store any reference to the JPanel's just instantiate, add a widgets, and add the panel until all widgets are taken care of

A: BoxLayout is what you need:
getContentPane().setLayout(new javax.swing.BoxLayout(getContentPane(), javax.swing.BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));

A: I'd suggest MigLayout, it's very simple and very powerful.
In this case all you need to do is
JPanel p = new JPanel(new MigLayout("wrap"));
p.add(new JLabel());
p.add(new JTextField());
p.add(new JLabel());

etc..

A: I would suggest gridlayout. You can choose he rows and columnsime a table

War and Terror: Obama: As Warlike as Bush, and Just as Lonely
Posted on Friday, September 06 @ 00:42:38 UTC by admin
By BAR executive editor Glen Ford
September 06, 2013 - blackagendareport.com
"U.S. imperialism has no option but to bang its military fist on the table to reset the global game board."
With obscene imperial arrogance, President Obama proclaimed that the "world" – not he – has drawn a bloody "red line" in Syria. "I didn't set a red line," said Obama, at a stop in Sweden on his way to a Group of 20 nations meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia. "The world set a red line."
That's news to the rest of the planet, including most of the Group of 20 and the meeting's host, Russian President Vladimir Putin, who described Obama's claims that Syria used sarin gas against civilians in rebel-held areas as "completely ridiculous." "It does not fit any logic," said Putin, since Syrian President Assad's forces "have the so-called rebels surrounded and are finishing them off."
It's news to China, which will surely join Russia in vetoing any Security Council motion to provide legal cover for Obama's aggression. And it's news to the usually compliant UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who this week reaffirmed that "the Security Council has primary responsibility for international peace and security" and "the use of force is lawful only when in exercise of self-defense in accordance with article 51 of the United Nations Charter and or when the Security Council approves such action."
It's news to Great Britain, America's temporarily wayward poodle, whose parliament rejected any military entanglement in Obama's red line. As esteemed political analyst William Blum points out, 64 percent of the people of France oppose their government's planned participation Obama's Battle of the Red Line.
Apparently, a young and impressionable Obama took the 1985 USA for Africa song "We are the World" too literally, and believes that all one need do is sing or shout the words to make it so.
"64 percent of the people of France oppose their government's planned participation Obama's Battle of the Red Line."
A new Reuters poll shows 56 percent of the American public oppose U.S. intervention in Syria, with only 19 percent backing Obama. The First Black U.S. President, who was hired (by corporate sponsors, and later elected) to put a new face on U.S. imperial policy after his predecessor's defeat and international isolation over Iraq, now finds himself more alone in the world than George Bush, and with even less support at home.
Nevertheless, Obama will doubtless press forward with his aggression, for the same reason that Bush defied world opinion and a vibrant domestic anti-war movement, ten years ago. U.S. imperialism has no option but to bang its military fist on the table to reset the global game board, just as it attempted – and ultimately failed – to do in Iraq in 2003, and as a unified NATO temporarily accomplished, after a 7-month bombing campaign, in Libya in 2011.
Obama's Syria crisis is another chapter in the Euro-American response to the so-called "Arab Spring" that threatened to upset western dominance in the center of global energy extraction – the end game for global capitalism as we know it. Within a week of Mubarak's fall from power in Egypt, the U.S. State Department informed the press corps that Washington prefers monarchs to autocrats in the Middle East – a very loud signal that the U.S. had suddenly become far more dependent on the royal thieves of the Persian Gulf, the only Arab forces in the region on which the U.S. could depend. Peering into the abyss of sustained popular agitation in the Arab world, the U.S. and its European and royal Arabian allies attempted to leap ahead of the curve of events with a massive display of NATO force against Libya and a mobilization of jihadists in the region, mustered mainly by Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
The goal was to transform the character of the Arab Spring into a battle against secular socialist regimes in Tripoli and Damascus, along with a general Sunni jihad against heretical Shiites of one sect or another. The mission was to remove those states whose very existence threatened the monarchies while at the same time diverting the masses' energies into sectarianism. (All of which is fine with Israel, whose strategy since its founding has been to foster chaos and division in the Arab world.)
"Both sides in Egypt's divided society now accuse the other of being allied with Enemy Number One: the U.S."
Libya fell with the assassination of Muammar Gaddafi (Hillary Clinton: "We came, we saw, he died"), but the Assad government in Syria has held on for almost three years, and was prevailing in its battle against the U.S./Saudi/Qatari-backed jihadists. The 2011 game plan was coming undone. This summer in Egypt, where the West's nightmare of eviction from the entire Mideast began two and a half years ago, the military seized total power and went on a killing spree against the Muslim Brotherhood, exponentially complicating the U.S. regional jihadist strategy. General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's government, which is carrying out a ghastly pogrom against its own Islamists, opposes the U.S. strike against Syria and tells its followers that the U.S. might turn against the Egyptian military regime, next. (This, despite massive infusions of cash from the Arab monarchs to the military government.) Both sides in Egypt's divided society now accuse the other of being allied with Enemy Number One: the U.S. The crisis that Washington hoped to get ahead of, with the attack on Libya, had metastasized. Egypt was wholly unmanageable, and Syria was defeating Washington's jihadists.
Thus, the transparent frame-up of Assad, with direct U.S. participation. It was a panicky move, with the fate of the Empire at stake. Mistakes in execution were surely made, and will come to light – which is why U.S. intelligence agencies hedge their accusations against Assad, leaving room to construct alternative scenarios as the original fable falls apart under the weight of facts and logic.
Obama may well get permission from the U.S. Congress to smash the Syrian state. The president reserves the right to launch the attack, unilaterally, and will not be punished if he does so. It is quite possible that Assad will soon be dead, and Al-Nusra jihadists will be cutting off heads in what's left of central Damascus. But one thing is certain: the U.S. has no long term allies among the Arab people – certainly not the jihadists, who will also turn on their royal paymasters at the first opportunity. The game board cannot be reset – not for long – and, at some point in the not too distant future, the U.S. will be ejected from much of the Arab world.
Obama lays down his red line because – as in 2011 – he has no other options. It has been a twisted "Arab Spring" – but, for U.S. imperialism, it is winter in Arabia.

Shinsedai Special Report #3: Wrap-up
Wrap up? Wait a second, so what happened on all of the other days of the festival, you're asking yourself. Well, as mentioned last report, I recorded reviews of the films with Toronto J-Film Pow-Wow's Marc Saint-Cyr. In fact, we recorded over five hours of drunken rambling and pontificating about symbolism, third acts, and wire work (just kidding about the latter). I've also gotten interviews with two of the directors who were special guests, Momoko Ando and Yasunobu Takahashi. In Momoko's interview, we primarily talk about her film Kakera: A Piece of Our Life but also look at aspects of biculturalism and being a female in a traditionally male-dominated field. In Yasunobu's interview we talk about his film Locked Out as well as his take on the Japanese independent scene where he's been cutting his teeth for the over a decade. The latter topic might especially interest film buffs because it's a world that is often overlooked because the studios (Toho, Toei, Nikkatsu, etc) have dominated for so long that it's easy to forget that there's some sort of indie scene going on in Japan.
Far from this being just a "look forward to it" post, let me give you my honest impressions of the festival. I will say up front that I am now friends with most of the people involved with the festival from the planners to volunteers, but that doesn't necessarily change what I have to say. Perhaps it is my DIY punk ethics speaking here, but I honestly believe that it is smaller festivals such as Shinsedai that can really make a difference in the film scene. Now, by saying so, I'm not knocking larger festivals, but can you imagine being able to sit next to a director while watching his or her film, then being able to hang out, talk, and interact with him or her in a meaningful way? In punk, it's likewise not a big deal to hang out with bands after the show, have a beer, and trade contact information. Thus, to be able to sit down and have a beer with someone like Japanese indie powerhouse Gen Takahashi and directly express how much his film moved you is truly an experience that transcends autographs, pictures, and handshakes.
What was even more exciting was seeing the filmmakers themselves interfacing with each other. At several points during the festival, you could see and hear the directors networking, throwing out ideas, and generally having both an entertaining and enlightening time with each other. In the case of Shinsedai 2010, it was an interesting dynamic of a veteran like Gen Takahashi paired with younger filmmakers who undoubtedly learned some valuable lessons from their senpai.
In all, a great second year for Shinsedai. Bring on Shinsedai 2011!
VCinema final wrap-up podcasts will be released in the near future.

Here's Why You Should Hold Argo Group (ARGO) in Your Portfolio
CINF
30 November 2021, 10:39 am ·4-min read
Argo Group International Holdings ARGO is poised to grow on its highly profitable business, growth initiatives, an expense initiative program, digitalization and a solid capital position.
Argo Group has a decent track record of beating earnings estimates, having done so in three of the last four quarters and missing in one, delivering an earnings surprise of 937.12%, on average.
Zacks Rank & Price Performance
Argo Group currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Year to date, the stock has rallied 27.6%, outperforming the industry's and the Finance sector's growth of 9.7% and 19.5%, respectively. The Zacks S&P 500 composite has increased 23.4% in the said time frame.
Growth Projections
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2021 earnings is pegged at $3.92, indicating an upside of 712.5% from the year-ago reported figure on 10.5% higher revenues of $2.1 billion. The consensus estimate for 2022 earnings is pegged at $4.20, up 7.2% from the year-ago reported figure on 1.9% higher revenues of $2.1 billion.
The stock carries a favorable Growth Score of B. This style score analyzes the growth prospects of the company.
Style Score
Argo Group is well poised for progress, as is evident from its impressive VGM Score of A. Here V stands for Value, G for Growth and M for Momentum, with the score being a weighted combination of all three factors.
Business Tailwinds
Argo Group's highly profitable businesses Argo Pro, Casualty, Construction, Environmental, Inland Marine and Surety are well poised for growth in attractive markets. These businesses together contribute two-thirds of the U.S. premium base.
Argo Group estimates gross written premium to grow 6-9% and combined ratio between 95 and 97 in 2021. This U.S.-focused specialty insurer targets double-digit premium growth and a low-90 combined ratio by 2022.
Argo Group remains focused on improving underwriting profitability. Initiatives like terminating portions of an existing book of business, re-pricing portions of another existing book of business and eliminating certain distribution partners who do not meet profitability or volume requirements, among others help it achieve goals. It remains focused on investing in areas where it sees immense potential. The company expects rate increases in mid-single digits.
Argo Group's International operations are poised for growth given improved rate, combined with a focus on areas with a track record of profitability.
Argo Group is on track with its expense initiative program. Lowering headcount, contract review and prioritization and footprint reduction are aiding it to lower costs. It estimates a 36% expense ratio for 2022.
Argo Group consistently invests in technology to improve operating efficiency and risk selection while reducing overall expenses.
Argo Group expects to generate an operating return on common equity between 6.5 and 8.5% in 2021 and 8-10%+ ROCE by 2022. ARGO boasts a solid balance sheet with modest financial leverage.
Stocks to Consider
Some better-ranked stocks from the same space include First American Financial FAF, Kinsale Capital Group KNSL and Cincinnati Financial CINF.
First American sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2021 and 2022 earnings has moved up 5.5% and 6.3%, respectively, in the past 30 days.

An Historical Shrout
October 22, 2015 / Dr. Shrout / 0 Comments
"General Joseph Neville as Justice of the Peace, already referred to, had arraigned before his court at Moorefield, the first murder case to occur in this part of Hardy County. A man by the name of Shrout who lived near the Geisert place on the Morgantown road about one mile east of the "Mountain" was charged with the crime of killing his wife, which deed he committed by ramming a broom stick down her throat. A man by the name of Bowman, who then lived on the Parker Brothers farm near Mount Storm on the Morgantown road acted as constable.
Shrout was executed at Moorefield according to the method of executing a criminal at that time, which provided that the accused should sit upon his coffin, borne by about six men to the place of execution, usually a tree with an appropriate limb. The prisoner was allowed to carry a small stick to drop as a signal, when he felt that he was ready to take the step into that bourn from whence no traveler e'er returns to tell of tiding on yonder shore.
It is said that Shrout, instead of dropping the stick, threw it defiantly into the air.
This method of executing a criminal in Hardy County was an advanced step, compared to the method at an earlier date, when this part of the country belonged to Hampshire County. The crime of murder, according to old laws in that county, was unclergiable, i. e., the accused was not permitted to have the benefit of the clergy to console him in the last hours of his life. The idea of the law seemed to be to cut short the prisoner's life "in the blossom of his sin", and by this master stroke, put him out of commission for all time. in 1789 a law was enacted in Hampshire County making such crimes as murder, hog stealing, and feloniously stealing from a meeting house, and some others unclergiable, and the victim of these crimes was frequently burned with a hot iron before hanging"

INSIGHTS / Client Advisories 07/01/2014
Court Awards Summary Judgment To Plaintiff In Action Alleging Trespass By Encroachment
A property developer whose ownership rights over a vacant parcel of land are being infringed upon by encroachment from a neighboring property has had its victory in court affirmed on appeal. The developer asserted that the neighboring building's upper stories are significantly leaning into the developer's air space, preventing the developer from building to its lot line. The developer filed an action asserting claims for trespass and nuisance, seeking damages and injunctive relief.
The developer moved for summary judgment, asserting that there was no genuine issue as to the material facts. The court agreed and granted partial summary judgment in the developer's favor on the issue of liability, finding that an actionable trespass had occurred and was continuing. This finding was based upon survey evidence demonstrating the degree of the neighboring building's tilt and encroachment over the property line. The court directed that the case continue solely on the issue of the amount of the developer's damages. The neighboring owner filed a motion for renewal seeking to overturn this decision, which was denied.
The neighboring owner then appealed to the Appellate Division, First Department, relying on a surveyor's affidavit first submitted with its motion to renew. The First Department held that this affidavit did not reflect new facts previously unknown to the neighbor, and saw no reasonable justification for the neighbor's failure to submit it in response to the original summary judgment motion. In any event, the court found, the affidavit would not have changed the original ruling in the developer's favor. Lower East Side II Assocs., L.P. v. 349 E. 10th Street, LLC, 2014 N.Y. Slip Op. 4696 (1st Dep't June 24, 2014). Ganfer Shore Leeds & Zauderer, LLP represented the successful property owner in this case, both in the lower court and on appeal.

Mark Ng, co-founder of Simply Enak, and his fellow tour guides are sanctioned by Tourism Malaysia, and are knowledgeable about cooking to boot.
Go green! Reduce your carbon footprint by exploring George Town on foot, by bicycle or in a trishaw. It's an ideal alternative to renting a car, which leaves you at the mercy of the island's notorious traffic. In addition to renting out bicycles and trishaws, Metro Bike Centre on Pengkalan Weld organises quirky tours such as the 'Night Fun Ride' on LED-lit bikes and the guide-free 'Audio Trishaw Tour'.
The Penang Heritage Trust (PHT) is a charitable NGO dedicated to promoting and conserving the cultural heritage of the island. As part of their endeavours, the PHT organises a host of fascinating tours focusing on the heritage zones. Guides are very knowledgeable and, more importantly, passionate about their town. Also, they're armed with the anecdotal information only locals can provide.
Penang Global Tourism is the state tourism bureau and they have come up with a selection of free tours for the budget-conscious traveller. These guided tours will give you a taste of what Penang has to offer including guided walks at the Botanic Gardens, around George Town (including a night trail) and even a Francis Light cemetery tour. As these are free, they are only available on certain days, usually weekends. Prior registration is required to ensure you have a place.
The Penang National Park, or Taman Negara Pulau Pinang, is the smallest national park in Malaysia weighing in at just 2,300 hectares. You can opt for a guided tour and most hotels can organise this for you, but the main trails in this park are relatively easy and you can get enough information from most places (either online or even from your accommodation) to make up your own tour.

Talcum Powder Linked to Ovarian Cancer
Talcum Powder:
Talcum Powder Risks
"It is not the culture of U.S. medicine to report adverse events to the FDA."
Dr. David Kessler, Former FDA Commissioner
Johnson & Johnson's baby powder is a staple in American households.
For decades, millions of women have been using it as a feminine hygiene solution, and to care for their children. Unfortunately, women are now discovering that this all-too-common product is causing epithelial ovarian cancer.
Johnson & Johnson's baby powder is made of talc. According to the American Cancer Society, regular talc usage in the groin area can increase the risk of ovarian cancer by a whopping 30-40%. In fact, many oncologists report seeing actual talc particles, when viewing epithelial ovarian cancer cells through a microscope.
Women across the U.S. are outraged. Many are seeking financial compensation from the manufacturer.
Johnson & Johnson Continues to Market the Cancer-causing Baby Powder
Johnson & Johnson released baby powder in 1892. It quickly became the go-to product for feminine hygiene and nursery care. The product consists of 99% talcum powder and 1% fragrance. In 1971 scientists discovered a link between talc and ovarian cancer. Yet even today, Johnson & Johnson fails to acknowledge and warn patients about the risk. If you have epithelial ovarian cancer due to using Johnson & Johnson baby powder, you may qualify for financial compensation.
Everything you need to know about Talcum Powder
This video will take you through the history of talc, it's cancer causing link, verdicts, and the legal battle to have it labeled and potentially pulled from the market.

Talc use in beauty products started well before the FDA even existed. Find out more about the link between baby powder & cancer, recent verdicts of Talcum Powder, and how we can help.
Video: The Issues with using Talc
Talc is a dangerous product, and that's coming from the American Cancer Society! This video will tell you which body part is most susceptible to cancer when you use Talc.
Video: What To Do If You've Been Injured By Talc
What should you do if you have epithelial ovarian cancer? Do you have a claim? These are just some of the many questions this video will answer.
Video: Where did Talc go wrong?
This video links talc powder made by Johnson & Johnson to ovarian cancer. Find out where Talc comes from and what ingredients are in baby powder.
Talcum Powder Lawsuits & Settlement Landscape
The first settlement case took place in 2009 in South Dakota, where three separate doctors confirmed that a woman had talcum powder present in her cancer cells. In a court testimony, Daniel Cramer of Harvard University who studied the issue of talcum powder and ovarian cancer for three decades, stated that talcum powder was likely a contributing factor in 10,000 cases of ovarian cancer annually.
If you or your family member has been diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer in the last 10 years, and are under the age of 63, you may be eligible for financial settlement.
Johnson & Johnson Pays Missouri Family $72 Million After Mother's Death
In February 2016, a Missouri state jury ordered the pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson to pay $72 million to the family of a woman whose death from ovarian cancer was linked to her regular use of Johnson & Johnson's Baby Powder and Shower to Shower products.
Johnson & Johnson Pays $55 Million to Woman in St. Louis
In May of 2016, Johnson & Johnson was ordered by a U.S. judge to pay a woman $55 million in damages for claims that their talc-based products caused her to develop ovarian cancer.

Neurotrophin receptor-interacting MAGE homolog (NRAGE, also known as MAGE-D1 or Dlxin-1) is a ubiquitously expressed cytosolic protein that is a member of the melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE) family. The 778 aa human NRAGE protein contains a segment with 22 repeats of a W(P/Q)xPxx motif, followed by a MAGE domain. In the brain, NRAGE interacts with p75NTR, blocks cell cycle progression and facilitates NGF-dependent apoptosis. Over amino acids 73‑254, human NRAGE shares 87% and 73% aa identity with mouse and rat NRAGE, respectively.

Yesterday I had a conversation where the other person was talking about different animals and how smart or dumb they are…which led me to share this insight. As humans so many of us are only aware of the world from the perspective that humans are the best. Period. And that is not only a limiting view, it is very much about separation. I come from the perspective that each species here on this planet has a key role in the existence and survival of this whole organism of Gaia. We are here to be frogs, trees, lichen, preying mantises, whales, bacteria, etc. And acknowledging, respecting, and honoring each bit who/that makes up Gaia is not just about inclusion versus exclusion. It's about being one. We are all Gaia. So while chickens are very smart…according to the human view of smart: able to do things like humans…is that the perspective we want to choose? Or do we want to choose to recognize the illusion of separation is just that, an illusion? With each breath, honor the divine in all that surrounds you, and slip into that space where edges are arbitrary lines that serve only to note the illusion, that space where you are no longer anyone but all of Gaia and beyond. I am not an ambassador to humans from the other animals, I am an ambassador of remembering what you know deep within you, the Lovelight of the All is all there is.

The Method to the Madness Book Review:
A Rosetta Stone for understanding Donald Trump's style, mindset, and every action, made up of over one hundred interviews with his closest associates and adversaries over the last 15 years. To his critics, Donald Trump is an impulsive, undisciplined crackpot who accidentally lucked into the presidency. But in The Method to the Madness, reporters Allen Salkin and Aaron Short reveal that nothing could be further from the truth. This objective, nonpartisan oral history shows that Trump had carefully planned his bid for the presidency since he launched what many considered to be a joke candidacy in 1999. Between 2000 and 2015, when he announced his candidacy in the lobby of Trump Tower, he was able to identify an unserved political constituency, hone a persuasive message that appealed to their needs, and deliver it effectively, despite intense media opposition. Through candid conversations with more than 100 subjects close to the President, Salkin and Short make the case that Donald Trump's ostensibly erratic approach to politics is consistent with his carefully honed personal and professional style of information gathering, opinion seed-planting, and conclusion sharing. His business, media, and political dealings from this era serve as a guide for understanding the man, his mindset, and his every action. The Method to the Madness is an accessible and unbiased oral history that brings readers into the private rooms where decisions are made, confidences are broken, strong words fly, and not all eye-witnesses see the same scene in quite the same way. Full of scoops both large and small, this is the first book to bring Trump, the politician, into focus.
Method In Madness
Author : Peter W. Halligan,John C. Marshall
Publsiher : Psychology Press
Method In Madness Book Review:
In clinical neuropsychiatry, case studies provide invaluable demonstrations of the range and types of unusual psychological states that can occur after brain damage. In the pursuit of objectivity and scientific respectability, however, many academic reports of neuropsychiatric disorders appear cold, contrived and impersonal. The essence and character of the patient's experience and behaviour is easily obscured or even lost - a fact that cannot help researchers, therapists and other practitioners to relate their conceptual knowledge to the flesh-and-blood people they meet in their professional lives. In practice, much of the actual discourse of such patients has been ignored as unworthy of scientific interest. This book describes real patients in a clear and jargon-free way. These cases should serve to reduce the discrepancy between the formal representations of psychiatric illness in the mainstream literature and the reality of people struggling to make sense of their own predicament in everyday life.

Method in the Madness Book Review:
Method in the Madness is presented as a companion to researchers investigating the complex world of work. Rather than a 'How to' text on performing research, this book presents a record of experiences. Research so often evolves in the field or the planning stages and a successful researcher need to be aware of serendipitous opportunities as they arise and how to solve problems as they occur. The book comprises an introduction written by the editors followed by thirteen chapters written by different contributors. The introduction draws together the disparate experiences that follow and discusses the ways in which the contributors, all of whom are respected researchers, dealt with and learned from the research experience. In the following chapters, the contributors describe and reflect on the research process, the challenges they met during their research and the lessons learned. The style varies, but includes narratives, anecdotes and descriptions of individuals' experiences as research was designed and carried out and the results generated. Presents twelve chapters of research experiences where the researcher learnt more about performing research whilst 'in the field' than they did from prescriptive texts Represents a fresh and accessible look at research and research methods

This study examines some key approaches to ecumenical social ethics in the past century, as expressed in the thought of Walter Rauschenbusch, Reinhold Niebhur, and the World Council of Churches.The author argues that unless Christians are clear about the ways that theology and philosophy relate to one another and work themselves out in our practical commitments, we will lose the ability to discuss social ethics as individuals and churches, let alone reach effective arguments.

Qualitative Sociology
Author : Howard Schwartz,Jerry Jacobs
Publsiher : Anonim
ISBN 13 : UCAL:B3990077
Qualitative Sociology Book Review:
Efforts to reconstruct the reality of a social scene have evolved numerous theoretical and methodological strategies. Qualitative sociology fills the gap in existing literature by providing a comprehensive and detailed treatment of the broad range of non-quantitative methods currently being used in sociological research, with the conceptual rationales for each method. Recognizing the need for a clear, concise discussion of both the theoretical and practical aspects of "reality reconstruction" and "formal sociology," Drs. Schwartz and Jacobs draw on the theories and strategies of Weber, Mead, Blumer, Glaser, Straus, Simmel, Goffman, Schutz, Garfinkel, and Cicourel, among others, to justify, explain, and illustrate: field studies participant observation (ethnography) interviewing life histories and personal accounts the analysis of unobtrusive measures audio-visual techniques methods of studying and subjectivity phenomenology and more Thus, the authors not only describe the various theories and methods, but they add to the reader's understanding by providing insight into who has used the methods and why, and by evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of each method. They also supplement the text throughout with a collection of case studies which illustrate the kind of substantive work qualitative research can produce. No other available text covers as many methods as are described in Qualitative Sociology. All the methods are examined in an informal, conversational style, making the discussion accessible to the student with no previous knowledge of qualitative theories and practices.

Whether a novice trader, professional or somewhere in-between, these books will provide the advice and strategies needed to prosper today and well into the future.
Madness as Methodology
Author : Ken Gale
Publsiher : Routledge
Madness as Methodology Book Review:
Madness as Methodology begins with the following quotation from Deleuze and Guattari, 'Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be breakthrough.' This quotation firmly expresses the book's intention to provide readers with radical and innovative approaches to methodology and research in the arts, humanities and education practices. It conceptualises madness, not as a condition of an individual or particular being, but rather as a process that does things differently in terms of creativity and world making. Through a posthuman theorising as practice, the book emphasises forms of becoming and differentiation that sees all bodies, human and nonhuman, as acting in constant, fluid, relational play. The book offers a means of breaking through and challenging the constraints and limitations of Positivist approaches to established research practice. Therefore, experimentation, concept making as event and a going off the rails are offered as necessary means of inquiry into worlds that are considered to be always not yet known. Rather than using a linear chapter structure, the book is constructed around Deleuze and Guattari's use of an assemblage of plateaus, providing the reader with a freedom of movement via multiple entry and exit points to the text. These plateaus are processually interconnected providing a focal emphasis upon topics apposite to this madness as methodology. Therefore, as well as offering a challenge to the constraining rigours of conventional research practices, these plateaus engage with topics to do with posthuman thinking, relationality, affect theory, collaboration, subjectivity, friendship, performance and the use of writing as a method of inquiry.
Author : Norman G. Finkelstein
Publsiher : OR Books
In the past five years Israel has mounted three major assaults on the 1.8 million Palestinians trapped behind its blockade of the Gaza Strip. Taken together, Operation Cast Lead (2008-9), Operation Pillar of Defense (2012), and Operation Protective Edge (2014), have resulted in the deaths of some 3,700 Palestinians. Meanwhile, a total of 90 Israelis were killed in the invasions. On the face of it, this succession of vastly disproportionate attacks has often seemed frenzied and pathological. Senior Israeli politicians have not discouraged such perceptions, indeed they have actively encouraged them. After the 2008-9 assault Israel's then-foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, boasted, "Israel demonstrated real hooliganism during the course of the recent operation, which I demanded." However, as Norman G. Finkelstein sets out in this concise, paradigm-shifting new book, a closer examination of Israel's motives reveals a state whose repeated recourse to savage war is far from irrational. Rather, Israel's attacks have been designed to sabotage the possibility of a compromise peace with the Palestinians, even on terms that are favorable to it. Looking also at machinations around the 2009 UN sponsored Goldstone report and Turkey's forlorn attempt to seek redress in the UN for the killing of its citizens in the 2010 attack on the Gaza freedom flotilla, Finkelstein documents how Israel has repeatedly eluded accountability for what are now widely recognized as war crimes. Further, he shows that, though neither side can claim clear victory in these conflicts, the ensuing stalemate remains much more tolerable for Israelis than for the beleaguered citizens of Gaza. A strategy of mass non-violent protest might, he contends, hold more promise for a Palestinian victory than military resistance, however brave.

Crazy Funny
Author : Lisa A. Guerrero
Crazy Funny Book Review:
This book examines the ways in which contemporary works of black satire make black racial madness legible in ways that allow us to see the connections between suffering from racism and suffering from mental illness. Showing how an understanding of racism as a root cause of mental and emotional instability complicates the ways in which we think about racialized identity formation and the limits of socially accepted definitions of (in)sanity, it concentrates on the unique ability of the genre of black satire to make knowable not only general qualities of mental illness that are so often feared or ignored, but also how structures of racism contribute a specific dimension to how we understand the different ways in which people of color, especially black people, experience and integrate mental instability into their own understandings of subjecthood. Drawing on theories from ethnic studies, popular culture studies, cultural studies, psychoanalysis, and trauma theory to offer critical textual analyses of five different instances of new millennial black satire in television, film, and literature – the television show Chappelle's Show, the Spike Lee film Bamboozled, the novel The White Boy Shuffle by Paul Beatty, the novels Erasure and I Am Not Sidney Poitier by Percival Everett, and the television show Key & Peele – Crazy Funny presents an account of the ways in which contemporary black satire rejects the boundaries between sanity and insanity as a way to animate the varied dimensions of being a racialized subject in a racist society.

Since moving to Texas, we've learned that college football isn't just a sport – it's pretty much integrated into daily life! So when this time of year comes around, we've learned that the simple, boring ol' homegating/tailgating parties just don't swing here – you've got to really give it your all! To avoid any last minute stress, here's 5 Tips to Get Game Day Ready – based on my crazy family's traditions!
That's right – my family has a tradition of Dr Pepper® for our college football parties! Y'all know about my love for Dr Pepper® – if you don't, well, you must not have been following me for very long 🙂 I swear it's in my DNA – my grandma, mom and most family members on that side make it part of our daily routine. No, I'm not exaggerating – we love it that much! So when the Game Day Greats program that Dr Pepper® is participating in at Kroger began, I had to hustle over there and stock up. Well, stock up more than normal! We can't have a college football party without a kitchen full of Dr Pepper® to drink – and even use it in many of our recipes! To us, it's not football season without it!
Hubby pointed out that our cart was 75% Dr Pepper® – I just responded with 'Yes. And the problem is…..?' He just smiled and shook his head at me – he knows not to get between me and my drink!
Not to worry, I didn't buy so much just to drink (although that'll certainly be happening!) I have some majorly delicious plans for our Game Day party that includes not only Dr Pepper®, but cracker goodies like Keebler® Town House® and Cheez-It®. You better believe this homegating party is going to be Texas-worthy – after all, here it's 'GO BIG OR GO HOME'! Luckily Kroger has everything I need, so it's just one quick stop and I'm all set!
Show your colors – whether it's with team shirts or the decorations, leave no doubt who you'll be routing for!
Head over to Kroger and load up on Dr Pepper® and other game day goodies. One stop and everything you need – win! Just like our family, make it a new must-have tradition!
Don't forget the ice! Warm drinks during any party can be a dud, so be prepared.
Put away your breakables near the TV, and remove anything you don't want to get spills on. Yelling in joy or frustration during a college game can result in quite the mess – so save your stuff!
Send out invites! You don't want to plan a big hoopla, but have everyone go somewhere else. Let them know where the best place for the big game will be – your place!
So when am I going to share with you the amazing Dr Pepper® tastiness I have in the works? Better keep checking back in the next couple of weeks because it's going to be EPIC! I'm diggin' the cans right now, too, so ideas for using them for a tablescape or something fun are spinning around my head, too.
Which Dr Pepper® variety is your favorite?
While you're at it, check out the in-store sweepstakes with Miller Coors®/Kellogg's®/Dr Pepper® for fly away trips to Rivalry Games! See your Kroger store for more details.

British Tycoon Barclay Faces Prison for Failing to Pay Ex-Wife
Ellen Milligan
(Bloomberg) -- British businessman Frederick Barclay, who amassed a lucrative empire with his late twin brother, faces being sent to prison for failing to pay his former wife 50 million pounds ($66 million) as part of one of the U.K. court's biggest divorces.
In May, a London court ordered Barclay, 87, to pay his ex-wife Hiroko 100 million pounds, with half the amount due within three months. Hiroko Barclay has made an application for the reclusive tycoon to be held in contempt of court, which could see him face a fine, asset freeze or even imprisonment.
A spokesperson for Frederick Barclay declined to comment. A lawyer representing Hiroko Barclay also declined to comment.
"We're representing an 87-year-old man who's facing imprisonment," Frederick Barclay's lawyer, Charles Howard, said at a London court hearing on Thursday. "We're now in a criminal, or quasi-criminal, process," he said earlier in the hearing.
Judge Jonathan Cohen told Hiroko Barclay's lawyer that her application relied on "whether or not you can prove on a criminal standard that Sir Frederick is in a position to pay the sum he's been ordered to pay." Frederick Barclay is contesting the application and a judge will hear arguments in the case early next year.
The tycoon has been engaged in multiple legal fights and separately settled a suit with his nephews earlier this year, after they bugged his conversations at London's Ritz Hotel, which the family previously owned. The lawsuits have opened a window into the relationship between the publicity-shy Barclay twins whose investments put them among the top ranks of the U.K.'s rich and powerful.
