Horrible Rattling Room Window at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City NJ -- Part 2
TripAdvisor has my full review of Resorts Casino Hotel “Rattling Windows Were a Nightmare!” .... This 5 minute video was recorded Wednesday, February 24, 2016 at 4:24PM. in room 1130 on the 11th floor Ocean Tower room I shared with a friend for 2 nights and 3 days. Housekeeping and maintenance employees looked at the continuously loudly rattling window and led us to believe the front desk staff would assign us to another room. When I spoke to the female desk employee from my room's telephone regarding the window issue, I was told in a matter of seconds that all the rooms in the hotel were booked, and nothing was available. It sounded to me like a scripted response to avoid having to put forth extra effort to satisfy another complaining customer of little significance, in my opinion.
HISTORY OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY 1960s HUMBLE OIL PROMOTIONAL FILM 46144 MD
“The Land Called New Jersey” is a color film that portrays 300 years of progress in New Jersey and the contributions of the citizens of the state to the history of the United States. Produced by Humble Oil & Refining Company in the early 1960s, it includes sequences on the granting and the naming of the state, on the colonial period, on early industry and transportation, and on Thomas Edison and the age of invention. The program describes the industries, educational system, cities, recreational areas, landmarks, historic sites and other features of 20th century New Jersey. It opens in 17th century England and a re-enactment at mark 01:18 of how King Charles II, who gave his brother, the Duke of York (later King James II), the region between New England and Maryland as a proprietary colony. James then granted the land between the Hudson River and the Delaware River (the land that would become New Jersey) to two friends who had remained loyal through the English Civil War: Sir George Carteret and Lord Berkeley of Stratton. Scenes of New Jersey’s natural wonders are interspersed with illustrations and re-enactments of the region’s pre-Colonial days — including the Steuben House (a noted example of Bergen Dutch sandstone architecture) in River Edge, shown at mark 04:40, and a cedar plank log cabin at Hancock’s Bridge, shown at mark 04:57. Eastern New Jersey eventually became the new home for settlers from New England, with much of that influence still apparent in New Jersey architecture and Colonial churches, as viewed at mark 06:27. Western New Jersey, settled by the Quakers, still shows their influence, such as homes with patterns of glazed brick.
Mark 09:09 takes the viewers into Colonial times and shows the Teaburners' Monument in Greenwich Township, commemorating the 1774 Greenwich Tea Party. We learn some of the five major battles of the Revolutionary War fought in New Jersey, and how George Washington (famously) crossed the Delaware River and participated in the pivotal Battle of Trenton (mark 10:00). At mark 13:07 the viewer is shown Ford’s Mansion in Morristown, which served as Washington’s headquarters from December 1779 to June 1780.
Re-created scenes from post-Revolutionary War New Jersey follows, including tributes to its history as an iron producer, and at mark 19:45 learn of John Stevens’ contribution to transportation via the creation of the first steam[-powered locomotive — which took place in Hoboken in the 1800s. New Jersey soon became a railroad leader, helping smaller communities develop into more thriving locations. Perhaps the film’s greatest tribute is reserved for inventor Thomas A. Edison, introduced at mark 21:07. (It was in Menlo Park, New Jersey, in 1879 that Edison demonstrated the first successful light bulb model). As the film connects the past and the present while drawing to a close, the narrator reminds the viewer that New Jersey continues to be a leader in all aspects of research and development.
We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment! See something interesting?

Glass-Steagall: The Urgent First Step
Lyndon LaRouche's Four Cardinal Laws ( outline the urgent, and indispensable solution to the impending meltdown of the trans-Atlantic financial system, being catalyzed right now by the threatened implosion of Deutsche Bank. The restoration of FDR's Glass-Steagall Act is the first step which must be taken without delay. Demand that Congress abandon the campaign trail and immediately return to Washington before the elections to pass the Glass-Steagall bill which already exists in both chambers. By restoring Glass-Steagall we open the door to the full scope of a Hamiltonian program as originally outlined by Alexander Hamilton in his four reports to the United States Congress, and as developed by Lyndon LaRouche in his document Four New Laws to Save the USA Now. EIR Economics editor Paul Gallagher joins Bill Roberts and Kesha Rogers in emphasizing that only through an ambitious and bold commitment to developing a space exploration and develepment program as the science driver of the global economy, will mankind affirm his true nature and make the great leaps in productivity and scientific discovery necessary to survive and allow our species to progress. The sense of urgency is spelled out clearly in the lead article to this week's newest edition of The Hamiltonian, One Minute After Midnight...The Crash Is On, which is now being distributed on the streets of New York City and Washington DC: larouchepac.com/20161006/one-minute-after-midnightthe-crash

Tintoretto Lecture Series, Part 1: Venetian Sixteenth Century Painting
Eric Denker, senior lecturer and manager of gallery talks and lectures for adults, National Gallery of Art
On the occasion of the exhibition of Tintoretto: Artist of Renaissance Venice, Eric Denker, senior lecturer at the National Gallery of Art, presents a four-part lecture series examining Jacopo Tintoretto’s work in the context of 16th-century Venetian art, history, and culture. In the first lecture, “Tintoretto in Context: Framing Tintoretto: Sixteenth-Century Venetian Painting,” held on April 16, 2019, Denker discusses Venetian Renaissance painting beginning with Giovanni Bellini, his workshop, and his followers, in the second half of the 15th century. Giorgione and Titian were among his most prominent pupils, developing out of Bellini’s linear style the more atmospheric color, light, and shadow characteristic of Venetian High Renaissance oil painting. Though Titian would dominate the painting of large-scale altarpieces and decorations in Venice during the first half of the 16th century, rivals influenced by contemporary central Italian art appeared in Venice by the 1520s and ’30s. Artists including Pordenone and Andrea Schiavone provided alternative sources of style and imagery for both painters and patrons.

The Savings and Loan Banking Crisis: George Bush, the CIA, and Organized Crime
The savings and loan crisis of the 1980s and 1990s (commonly dubbed the S&L crisis) was the failure of about 747 out of the 3,234 savings and loan associations in the United States. About the book:
A savings and loan or thrift is a financial institution that accepts savings deposits and makes mortgage, car and other personal loans to individual members—a cooperative venture known in the United Kingdom as a Building Society. As of December 31, 1995, RTC estimated that the total cost for resolving the 747 failed institutions was $87.9 billion. The remainder of the bailout was paid for by charges on savings and loan accounts — which contributed to the large budget deficits of the early 1990s.
The concomitant slowdown in the finance industry and the real estate market may have been a contributing cause of the 1990--91 economic recession. Between 1986 and 1991, the number of new homes constructed per year dropped from 1.8 million to 1 million, which was at the time the lowest rate since World War II.
The United States Congress granted all thrifts in 1980, including savings and loan associations, the power to make consumer and commercial loans and to issue transaction accounts. Designed to help the thrift industry retain its deposit base and to improve its profitability, the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act (DIDMCA) of 1980 allowed thrifts to make consumer loans up to 20 percent of their assets, issue credit cards, accept negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts from individuals and nonprofit organizations, and invest up to 20 percent of their assets in commercial real estate loans.
The damage to S&L operations led Congress to act, passing the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 (ERTA) in August 1981 and initiating the regulatory changes by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board allowing S&Ls to sell their mortgage loans and use the cash generated to seek better returns soon after enactment; the losses created by the sales were to be amortized over the life of the loan, and any losses could also be offset against taxes paid over the preceding 10 years. This all made S&Ls eager to sell their loans. The buyers—major Wall Street firms—were quick to take advantage of the S&Ls' lack of expertise, buying at 60%-90% of value and then transforming the loans by bundling them as, effectively, government-backed bonds (by virtue of Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Fannie Mae guarantees). S&Ls were one group buying these bonds, holding $150 billion by 1986, and being charged substantial fees for the transactions.
In 1982, the Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act was passed and increased the proportion of assets that thrifts could hold in consumer and commercial real estate loans and allowed thrifts to invest 5 percent of their assets in commercial loans until January 1, 1984, when this percentage increased to 10 percent.
A large number of S&L customers' defaults and bankruptcies ensued, and the S&Ls that had overextended themselves were forced into insolvency proceedings themselves.
The Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC), a federal government agency that insured S&L accounts in the same way the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures commercial bank accounts, then had to repay all the depositors whose money was lost. From 1986 to 1989, FSLIC closed or otherwise resolved 296 institutions with total assets of $125 billion. An even more traumatic period followed, with the creation of the Resolution Trust Corporation in 1989 and that agency's resolution by mid-1995 of an additional 747 thrifts.
A Federal Reserve Bank panel stated the resulting taxpayer bailout ended up being even larger than it would have been because moral hazard and adverse selection incentives that compounded the system's losses.
There also were state-chartered S&Ls that failed. Some state insurance funds failed, requiring state taxpayer bailouts.

Calling All Cars: The Broken Motel / Death in the Moonlight / The Peroxide Blond
The radio show Calling All Cars hired LAPD radio dispacher Jesse Rosenquist to be the voice of the dispatcher. Rosenquist was already famous because home radios could tune into early police radio frequencies. As the first police radio dispatcher presented to the public ear, his was the voice that actors went to when called upon for a radio dispatcher role.
The iconic television series Dragnet, with LAPD Detective Joe Friday as the primary character, was the first major media representation of the department. Real LAPD operations inspired Jack Webb to create the series and close cooperation with department officers let him make it as realistic as possible, including authentic police equipment and sound recording on-site at the police station.
Due to Dragnet's popularity, LAPD Chief Parker became, after J. Edgar Hoover, the most well known and respected law enforcement official in the nation. In the 1960s, when the LAPD under Chief Thomas Reddin expanded its community relations division and began efforts to reach out to the African-American community, Dragnet followed suit with more emphasis on internal affairs and community policing than solving crimes, the show's previous mainstay.
Several prominent representations of the LAPD and its officers in television and film include Adam-12, Blue Streak, Blue Thunder, Boomtown, The Closer, Colors, Crash, Columbo, Dark Blue, Die Hard, End of Watch, Heat, Hollywood Homicide, Hunter, Internal Affairs, Jackie Brown, L.A. Confidential, Lakeview Terrace, Law & Order: Los Angeles, Life, Numb3rs, The Shield, Southland, Speed, Street Kings, SWAT, Training Day and the Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour and Terminator film series. The LAPD is also featured in the video games Midnight Club II, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, L.A. Noire and Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
The LAPD has also been the subject of numerous novels. Elizabeth Linington used the department as her backdrop in three different series written under three different names, perhaps the most popular being those novel featuring Det. Lt. Luis Mendoza, who was introduced in the Edgar-nominated Case Pending. Joseph Wambaugh, the son of a Pittsburgh policeman, spent fourteen years in the department, using his background to write novels with authentic fictional depictions of life in the LAPD. Wambaugh also created the Emmy-winning TV anthology series Police Story. Wambaugh was also a major influence on James Ellroy, who wrote several novels about the Department set during the 1940s and 1950s, the most famous of which are probably The Black Dahlia, fictionalizing the LAPD's most famous cold case, and L.A. Confidential, which was made into a film of the same name. Both the novel and the film chronicled mass-murder and corruption inside and outside the force during the Parker era. Critic Roger Ebert indicates that the film's characters (from the 1950s) represent the choices ahead for the LAPD: assisting Hollywood limelight, aggressive policing with relaxed ethics, and a straight arrow approach.
