However, I see no "video proof" that Jett was autistic which is the assertion made in the thread's title. The truth is you have no idea what was wrong with him.
Jim Watkins: Jett Travolta's Autism: Confirmed for Cops, Not for World
"Bahamian police report indicating the actor told authorities "Jett suffered from a seizure disorder and was autistic." Before Jett's death, Travolta and his wife, Kelly Preston, had said he suffered from a rare condition called Kawasaki disease, as well as exposure to environmental toxins from carpet cleaning chemicals. It's been assumed Jett's parents didn't acknowledge the possibility of autism because of their strict belief in Scientology, which denies the existence of autism.
So why would John Travolta tell authorities his son was autistic, but not anyone else? "

It's been my experience that most people who are as passionate as some of the posters on this forum, who cannot contain their emotions or check the profanity, who are overly concerned about other people's families, lives or business, will find that their own families, lives and business are in disarray or dysfunction. I hope that is not true in your case.

Autism has a long and mysterious history in the area of diagnosis. The number of children being diagnosed currently is a direct result of parent knowledge. I have been "observing" autistic children since 1970. I am a speech/language pathologist. Were we able to diagnosis adequately way back when? No. What stopped us? Parents. (more often than not) You see, the symptomatology has always been there. The subtleties, the behaviors are the same now as from 60 years ago. Parents were blamed in the early years. This myth took hold until the 90's. Because Scientologists live within their own world and choose what they want to read, see, etc, they miss out on what is happening in the REAL world.
Seizure disorder does not always accompany autism. SEVERE seizure disorder seldom accompanies autism. When professionals read a young man dies of a severe seizure disorder and his parents are scientologists, we cannot turn off what we know. It is the 21st century. People no longer die from severe seizure disorders. They are treated for said condition.
Professionals who serve the autistic community can easily recognize Jett's behaviors. The ordinary person might not be able to see them.
Did the Travoltas kill their son with the lack of treatment? Not for me to say.

Don't know why this tragic child crossed my mind today. He compelled me to read hereon and to register on this forum.
Yes, I am new here and yes, I am opinionated..... sorry. I mean no harm to anyone. That said, I still like to give my opinion.
To the people on here who think CofS is anything but a dangerous cult....shame on you. You are not well. The rich and delusional like JT and KP are only that. There's nothing about their situation which indicates intelligence, education or class. Reminds me of OJ... money washes many sins clean!!!!
To the person with all caps... it's arrogant as well as ignorant. Do not do it and do not argue with those on the forum who correct you...they are right.
I guess CofS survives because humans need to believe in something, to belong somewhere. It affects the followers like drugs... the users become unable to discern reality. It's a "religion" that doesn't believe in drugs, when in fact it IS the drug. Check out the symptoms of those in its clutches.

Oh I guess their dog Jett died. 16 is pretty old for a canine of Jett's size.
Fuck you John Travolta. The money you spent on scientology was more important than your own child's well-being.
May John Revolta and Smelly Preston suffer from recurring outbreaks of shingles for the rest of their lives.

Ok, so I'm dumb, what kind of treatment is there for autism anyways?
One treatment that isn't widely known and is, indeed, suppressed by various agencies who 'know best' for you and yours...

Actually unless the kid is being mistreated I don't care what the parents are doing for him.
Sorry this kind of shit (stalking his kids and using them to prove a point) is fucking vile and retarded.
Good luck with this jihad though.
I have to agree.
RolandRB, Aug 30, 2010
If you watched the vid (and paid attention at the appropriate parts), you wouldn't have asked such an inane question...
Good thing you posted Anon tho!
I did watch the video. There was one glancing reference to someone who experimented with LSD and autism. Can't see how it applies to Jett Travolta, that's all.
Dousing a corpse with LSD makes it come back to life this is scientific fact don't ask me to prove it though because that would offend me religiously.
Many of Hubturd's scientific facts are being ignored by the general public at their peril. ie. how many are treating their autistic children with therapy and drugs, when they could be using the Travolta's example. Shame.

If the parents are $cientologists - and if they are withholding vital medication from their children because of their retarded beliefs in the shitty books L Ron Hubbard wrote - then they are guilty of child abuse.
It most definitely IS our business. We are here to plan and execute the eradication of $cientology.
So far our plans are working very well. Expect us.

I read the thread, watched the video and I do not see autism. While we are all playing Quincy MD on the internet over a poor dead boy I will throw in what I see ~ I see Aspergers syndrome. I live with it every day as my 18 year old child has Aspergers. It is often confused with Autism but it is not autism. Its is more of a social disorder. There are certain characterizations in the facial features of people with Aspergers and I see those in Jett's face. My child is extremely bright (173 on his IQ test) and doesn't have retardation or learning disabilities. However I would indeed have to hold his hand in a large crowd, many who are taking pictures and the flashing lights. He is terrified of crowds. His brain would have a lot of trouble processing the large crowd and he would blow a gasket. We stopped medicating my son a few years ago. Even though epilepsy is higher in those with Aspergers my son hasn't shown he is prone to that. I am also not an anti drug Scientology as I think they are kooks. When my son was being medicated he was way more aggressive and even had hallucinations. He was more of a danger to himself and the people around him on the meds. We had to learn behavior modifications and work really hard to help him. He is doing wonderful and is in his Freshmen year at college.
Asperger folks are aware of their surroundings. They don't know how to relate to other humans on any meaningful level. They don't understand the ques we give off in social settings. There are different types and different severity of the disorder but the face is what set it off for me. Since it is lumped with Autism I am guessing that is why John reported what he did. He may not even know about Aspergers which is pretty common for parents not to know or understand it until their kid is diagnosed.

Ha Ha though that was in really poor taste I will admit my family does use a lot of humor in relation to our son's disability. We have said, "stop being an asss (pause) pergers" HA HA
We are not putting him down or making fun of his disability and he knows that. We find humor heals much more then any Scientology kooky therapy
mama2mudbugs - please be careful not to divulge too much personal info about your real life on this forum - we all know what nasty stalking creeps scientologists are.
^^^Sage advice that. Use the anon reply for such matters.
I can understand where you are coming from, Mama. My oldest has Asperger's as well. He will graduate from college this year. The biggest difference between Jett and our sons is the fact that we have acknowledged who our kids are and have been working with them since they were small. Early childhood work is essential to both autistic and aspergers children to at least learn some communication and social skills. Our kids never got hidden away, cared for by staff or left to play video games and eat junk food as has been witnessed/reported in Jett's case. Our kids were never considered PTS 'degraded beings' who 'pulled it in' somehow, nor were we considered those things by our peers for having them.
Whichever his malady, poor Jett never had a chance. All those damn millions could have bought the kid the best therapy in the world, but the parents would have had to go against Hubbard's teachings on health and healing to do so. The parents chose the cult and the rest is history.
Jett had Kawasaki's disease caused by carpet cleaners
Autism and Asperger's are phony inventions of SMERSH/PSYCHS!

Snip everything, because goddammit be careful. PROTIP: EVIL PEOPLE READ THESE POSTS. EVIL PEOPLE DO EVIL THINGS.
Also, Jett Travolta had a serious seizure disorder, which wasn't treated effectively because of cult beliefs. Not every AS person has that additional issue, although it is more likely.

FTR, he was treated for a period of time before it was stopped for unclear reasons.


Psoriasis is a skin disease that is evidenced primarily by plaques which can be seen throughout the body. Genetic predisposition that combines with an environmental trigger of the immune system is believed to be the root cause of psoriasis. This leads to signaling factors which coordinate the progression of inflammation and psoriatic plaques. Psoriatic patients commonly use topical agents, phototherapy, and systemic agents; however, biological therapies have become increasingly popular. This is primarily due to recent advances in the study of psoriasis which have shown that monoclonal antibodies and dimeric fusion proteins inhibit key signaling molecules within the inflammatory cascade such as TNFa, IL-12 and IL-23. This article reviews the advances made to understand the role of TNFain the progression of psoriasis, discusses treatment options such as topical agents, phototherapy and systemic agents, and then compares a variety of monoclonal antibodies and dimeric fusion proteins as biological therapies.

"The Country House" Begins Previews on Broadway
By Jennifer R Jones | Posted on September 13, 2014 1:44 PM
The Country House has begun previews at Manhattan Theater Club's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. Starring Blythe Danner, this new play by Donald Margulies is directed by Daniel Sullivan and takes place in the Berkshire mountains. It is an adaptation of Chekhov's The Seagull.
A New Play By Donald Margulies
On September 9, 2014, the first preview commenced for Donald Margulies' new play The Country House. The play is scheduled to officially open on October 2, 2014. Directed by Daniel Sullivan (The Snow Geese, Orphans), this is the newest work by the masterful playwright behind the Pulitzer Prize winning Dinner With Friends and the Tony Award for Best Play nominated Time Stands Still. The world premiere of The Country House took place at Los Angeles' Geffen Playhouse between June 10 and July 20, 2014, where it received excellent reviews. The play is inspired by Chekhov's The Seagull, the story concerns a group of actors gathered in a Berkshire house for the summer season of the Williamstown Theater Festival. The drama of this actor family spilled off the page and into their very real lives, and we are given a glimpse into the offstage drama of the world's oldest profession.
A Manhattan Theater Club Production
The play is running at the Manhattan Theater Club's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on West 47th Street in the Broadway district. Of the six productions that Margulies has now had on Broadway, the last five of them have been produced by Manhattan Theater Club. The last three (including The Country House) went up at the Friedman Theatre; the others are April 2010's Collected Stories and January 2010's Time Stands Still, which then transferred to the commercial venue of Broadway's Cort Theatre. Previously, MTC also supported Margulies with two of his other plays: 2005's Brooklyn Boy and 2004's Sight Unseen, both of which went up at the Biltmore Theatre. Margulies' first work to be produced on Broadway was 1994's What's Wrong With This Picture? In addition to being a working playwright, Margulies is a professor at the Yale School of Drama.
A Superb Cast
The show stars Blythe Danner as Anna Patterson. Danner, who is well known for her screen appearances in such roles as Will's mother Marilyn on television's Will & Grace, as well as the film series Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, and Little Fockers. Furthermore, Danner has recently appeared onstage in the Manhattan Theatre Club Off-Broadway production of The Commons of Pensacola opposite Sarah Jessica Parker. On Broadway she has performed in many productions including Nice Work If You Can Get It, Follies, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Blithe Spirit. In The Country House, she is joined by Daniel Sunjata (Cyrano de Bergerac, Take Me Out), Eric Lange (television's Victorious and Lost), Kate Jennings Grant (The Lyons, Guys and Dolls), David Rasche (To Be or Not to Be, Speed the Plow), and Sarah Steele (Off-Broadway's Russian Transport and Slowgirl).

Q: Maven - rename files with names put in variable so here is my problem,
I have files, each of them must be renamed differently when using different profiles.
So I have 2 .properties files, dev.properties and rec.properties
in dev.properties you can find :
machineName=marin
prefix=DEV
fileOneName=node

in rec.properties you can find :
machineName=marin
prefix=REC
fileOneName=node

what I want now is to be able to use the content of those variables when setting wich profile to use with :
    <profile>
        <id>dev</id>
        <activation>
            <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
        </activation>
        <properties>
            <!-- Filter name -->
            <cogepat.filter.properties>dev.properties</cogepat.filter.properties>
        </properties>
    </profile>

But my variables are not being filled, when using :
<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>run-ant-rename-war</id>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>run</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <tasks>
                                 <copy file="mavencopyfrom/adeplacer.txt" tofile="mavencopyto/${prefix}_${fileOneName}${machineName}.txt"/>
                            </tasks>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

What I end up with is a file named :
${prefix}_${fileOneName}${machineName}.txt

A: Try to set the properties like this instead:
<profile>
    <id>dev</id>
    <activation>
        <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
    </activation>
    <properties>
        <machineName>marin</machineName>
        <prefix>DEV</prefix>
        <fileOneName>node</fileOneName>
    </properties>
</profile>

That should do the trick.

Problems lags in time to shoot, watch the video.
Is that AA 1.0 or did you record it with ms paint?
When I was trying to run AAPG on my laptop I has a similar issue. What I noticed, is that shooting was not the issue. The particle effect on impact was. I did update my drivers (AMD card, btw) and it was a drastic change. The game was still unplayable, but instead of dropping to 4, my fps dropped only to 18-20 when firing/rendering particle effects.
Try updating your GPU driver, it might help a lot.
Hijacking thread. Does anyone else get this weird lag sometimes so your gun aims down towards the floor just when someone kills you so you have no chance of shooting back.
If we're thinking of the same thing, I've had it happen like three times over the course of thousands of rounds.
Hijacking thread - this doesn't happen if your computer was built after 1999.
Also I've never had the gun dropping to floor bug before. Or at least I've never noticed it.
im afraid to say your wrong with that statement, unless your not being serious? it happens to lots of people (even people who have up to date, gaming PCs) and has been reported on the forum lots of times.
each and everytime i have tried a potential fix, which might i add have only ever been provided by players themselves, not DEVS.. such as turning off HUD, running the game windowed, updating/rollingback drivers, cranking down the settings.. oh and the kitchen sink.. nothing has ever made that slight stutter go away. theres no pattern to why or when it happens, it just does it from time to time at random times.. obviously its a lot more noticeable and detrimental when your either being shot at or trying to shoot at someone.
its very real occurrence (for some players) and its very annoying. if it wasnt so close to the games release and for a small glimmer of hope the devs have found what causes this for some players and not others.. i would actually start flooding a topic with countless times when it happens, in glorious 1080p video form, along with server name/time and game logs.. if only just for proofs..
Oh, I thought he was complaining about this happening every time he shot his gun, not the dreaded stutter.

The signs start on the steep driveway: a series of sketches, arrows and messages painted onto the concrete encourage the curious to detour off a pretty suburban street in Akaroa.
Near the top, the surprises truly begin to unfold. What was once known as Linton, the first bank manager's house in Akaroa, is now painted in vibrant candy colours, sitting atop a sprawling hilltop site that has been transformed, almost completely, into art.
This is the Giant's House: a testament to whimsy by artist Josie Martin.
plants – many towering several metres high, bursting with colour and a flamboyant sense of joy. On the front lawn sits a full size grand piano covered in mosaic tiles, its insides fi lled with succulents. Visitors can perch regally on enormous mosaic thrones or multicoloured tile benches on paths that wend their way between trees. Ceramic staircases twist gently past a life-size mosaic giraffe head, a trumpeting elephant and giant doeeyed anthropomorphic cat and dog, to the enormous writhing octopus emerging from a sea of parsley in the vegetable garden.
Josie has worked on the project for 15 years and her hard work has paid off. The Giant's House is now recognised as a 'garden of national signifi cance,' attracting visitors from around the world.
Inside, the artwork spills through all areas of the house, including the visitor bathrooms – even the toilet is encrusted with colourful crockery fragments. And rather than frowning on graffiti as vandalism, markers are provided for scribbling on the toilet walls.
An adjacent gallery space houses Josie's more fragile, less weather-proof works, including exquisite flower-painted ceramic busts, pale-faced with deep indigo eyes and hair – Josie's self-portraits. The house also operates three unique B&B rooms – including one with the bed snuggled inside the frame of a sleek timber boat – for visitors loathe to leave this whimsical wonderland.


Last year the Government missed its own deadline for delivery of a report and recommendations for the North Inner City. Thanks to the Northside People and Near FM for helping me raise awareness of the concerns over the inadequacy of the Governments response. There were more than fifty written submissions made to the Taoiseach's Tasforce yet there was not one written response from either the Taoiseach or the eleven relevant Ministers offices. The Taoiseach and his Minister's are showing very poor regard for the North Inner City Community. Their behavior is disrespectful and displays a lack of serious commitment to tackle the issues. I have raised my concerns with Michéal Martin and asked him to address them with the Taoiseach on behalf of the North Inner City Community.


That certainly makes for an interesting drive. I like the eye shadow on the one cow. She was all dressed up and ready for her night out on the town. As far as R2-D2 goes, I think it's an adorable dashboard buddy.
He goes well with the ZZ Top keychain.
Home, home on the range?
I once had a sheep try to commit suicide by running in between my Harley going north and a huge lorry going south. Or maybe he was trying to commit murder, as I probably wouldn't have held out too well, either!
Ah! Not even in QC! Interesting experience, you must have had a good time. I hope you weren't really expected somewhere!
So much more beautiful than the droves of "real California cows" we have out here. Ours look filthy and miserable. Your cows look a lot like the ones we had in rural Colorado, so shiny and colorful and healthy looking!
Actually, in CO we'd have a yearly event where one of the roads was used to herd hundreds and hundreds of sheep, and we'd have a festival every year. I drove through the herds a couple times.
Aww, well CA is a desert, really. Bet they are skinny and dusty.

Støre involved in child welfare case
Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has taken the unusual move of involving himself in a child welfare case involving a family from India, after it sparked international media coverage over the weekend and allegations of cultural prejudice. Both Støre and officials at Noway's child protection agency Barnevernet insist no prejudice or misunderstandings are involved.
Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre was traveling to Myanmar (Burma) this week, but before he left, he tried to help sort out a controversial child welfare case involving an Indian family in Norway. PHOTO: Utenriksdepartementet
The rights and well-being of children are taken very seriously in Norway, contends Støre, while Barnevernet officials claim they were simply doing their job when they removed two children from their parents' home in Stavanger last spring. A local family court upheld the authorities' decision in November and the parents, who have been granted free legal services in Norway, have appealed.
The Norwegian child welfare workers won't say exactly what prompted them to place the five-month-old girl and her three-year-old brother, both Indian citizens, in a foster home, not least because such family issues are bound by confidentiality rules in Norway. The children's parents have claimed, though, that their children were taken from them because of cultural misunderstandings, allegedly because they fed the children with their hands and because the boy slept in his father's bed.
Gunnar Toresen, head of Child Welfare Services in Stavanger, has claimed that no such observations are included in the court ruling that upheld the parents' loss of custody, and he "most strongly" denies any "cultural prejudice or misinterpretation" (external link) is behind the move to put the children in protective custody. Støre noted, meanwhile, that the children's removal from their parents was a "rare" move of intervention. Indeed, Norway's child welfare agency more often faces criticism within the country for failing to remove children soon enough from homes where they're not believed to be receiving adequate care or are subject to abuse.
'Media campaign'
The children's parents and grandparents have vigorously objected to the Norwegian authorities' decision, launched what the Norwegian authorities call "a media campaign in India," and took their complaints to the president of India, Pratibha Patil, over the weekend. The case received widespread coverage in India, topped NDTV's newscasts with the headline "Norway Nightmare" and caught attention in other countries as well.
That prompted Støre to contact India's Minister for External Affairs, SM Krishna, on Monday. A press release from Norway's Foreign Ministry stated that the two government officials "discussed the issue" and that Støre "assured Minister Krishna that the Norwegian authorities are working hard to find a solution that is in the best interests of the children involved." Støre stressed that Child Welfare Services in Stavanger has "firmly denied that this is based in any way on cultural prejudice or misinterpretation."
The Norwegian ministry reported that Støre and Krishna "agreed that close contact between the competent Norwegian and Indian authorities would be essential for finding a solution." Barnevernet staff is already "in dialogue" with the Indian Embassy in Oslo and the parents' lawyer, in the hopes of agreeing on a proposal to be forwarded to the local court in Stavanger for a ruling on the case. Staff at the Indian Embassy was said to have been in "close contact" with the Norwegian government ministries involved and has met twice with the children, their parents and the child welfare officials.
Toresen told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) that a proposed solution "has been presented to the family and the Indian Embassy. We are awaiting a response." He wouldn't comment on its contents. The children's parents live in Stavanger and have working permission in Norway until March.

https://lebronwire.usatoday.com/2020/05/13/report-adam-silver-hopeful-to-make-decision-on-nba-in-2-4-weeks/
According to all accounts, whether it be the league's owners, players, and star players themselves, it looks like key stakeholders are intent on the NBA returning. But the question everybody has been trying to answer for the past few months and will have to ponder for even longer is when? When will the league return? When will the following season begin?
The NBA is still trying to figure all of that out but NBA commissioner Adam Silver is reportedly putting himself and the league as a whole on the clock, as he told owners on a phone call that he hopes to make a decision on the league's return within 2-4 weeks, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Obviously, a decision being made does not mean that a return to play will be imminent if that's the league's decision. Players whose teams have qualified for the playoffs will need at least a month, if not two, to get back into game shape for playoff-intensity basketball.
NBA brass reportedly hopeful for return of season after call

The success of the book Warrior: The Amazing Story of a Real War Horse enabled the Seely and Scott families to commission a stunning Philip Blacker bronze sculpture of Warrior.
This was unveiled at Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight in August 2014, returning Warrior to his natural home almost 100 years to the day since he left for France in 1914.
Visitors to the Isle of Wight can visit the statue at Carisbrooke and in 2015 a 'Warrior Trail' will also be launched enabling people to follow in Warrior's hoofprints on the island where he lived (with a short interlude of four years during WW1) and died some 33 years later.

La prova in senso giuridico, ed in particolare processuale, è la dimostrazione dell'esistenza di determinati fatti giuridici, anche attraverso la dimostrazione dell'esistenza di altri fatti da cui si possa arguire l'esistenza di quelli che s'intendono provare.

Caratteristiche
L'istituto in oggetto presenta sensibili differenze da un ordinamento all'altro e fra ordinamenti nazionali differenti; per un approfondimento specifico si vedano le voci di seguito riportate.

Nel mondo

Stati Uniti d'America
Tra le regole di inammissibilità (exclusionary rules) vigenti negli USA in tema di prove, «il divieto posto all'hearsay evidence costituiva, e costituisce
tuttora, l'aspetto forse più caratteristico della procedura di common law: tale divieto si fonda principalmente sul fatto che la testimonianza di seconda mano
non può essere messa alla prova mediante cross examination (interrogatorio del testimone da parte avversa), contraddicendo il principio per cui tutte le
prove dovrebbero essere controllabili». Oltre alle testimonianze «per sentito dire», è ivi esclusa ogni testimonianza che possa dare inizio a un'azione penale contro il testimone stesso: è il cosiddetto privilege against self-incrimination.

Italia

Con l'entrata in vigore del nuovo codice di procedura penale italiano nel 1989 la figura dell'investigatore è stata ammessa a comparire in processo in qualità di consulente tecnico della difesa. Infatti, uno degli aspetti più rilevanti del nuovo rito si riferisce al tema della ricerca delle prove: infatti l'art. 190 c.p.p. (diritto alla prova) stabilisce che "le prove sono ammesse a richiesta di parte" e sancisce, fra l'altro, il "principio di parità fra difesa e accusa" (P.M., e difensore), sostanziato nel diritto di entrambi i soggetti alla ricerca delle prove.

Ther in lies the problem, since 1995 and the creation on SL " I'm alright jack and stuff the rest of you" has been the unwritten law from the greedy self appointed few.
I think the player who scored following Brian's break in the second round against Wakefield was Gary Jordan. I also think Rovers actually signed him from Hull K R where he had a short spell.
I think the important question is which of these players would get into our side now ?
Promotion and relegation or something completely different ?
How much more of this drivel ?
Clive Hill definitely Welsh and i am fairly certain he played for Bridgend at one time, Don't think he was a welsh international though.
And no-one seems to have mentioned Carl Dooler.
My bet would be Bradford to replace Wakefield. in SL.
No Parky it wasn't just a "sit in" by a few fans. Featherstone Rovers held an official ballot on the matter amongst the people who owned the club at the time i.e. the club members. The result was in favour of going it alone.
Wasn't this said by the dinasaurs in 1995 ?
Parky, that figure was pre superleague, pre full time players , pre sky monies, you, and nobody else have any idea as to what average crowd the Rovers would attract should they ever get into SL. What average First Division crowd did Wakefield attract immediately prior to there elevation into the so called "elite" professional ranks ? I'll save you getting your Rothmans out - it was ; - 1994/95 3,438 1993/94 3,822 1992/93 4,505 1991/92 5,022 1991/92 4,848 Hardly way out in front of that figure, quoted by you, presumably, as a reason why Rovers could not make it in SL. How can you assume that the Rovers average gate could not grow as Wakefields have done ? I repeat you have no idea as what crowd Rovers may attract as a Full time professional outfit - and nobody else has either !
Martyn, Would any club who rent a stadium, be automatically allowed to continue using it after entering administration ? Administration means you cannot pay your bills, which would almost certainly include ground rent. Would the owners of a rented ground simply say OK carry on using it and risk further loss of revenue ? Would you say that the position Wakefield are in regarding who owns Belle Vue is preferrable to what we see at Featherstone ? I am confident that the present Rovers BOD have got their fingers firmly on the pulse and would politely suggest they do not need your advice.
Exactly Terry - Why do the rest of Super League Clubs want Bradford to remain in SL (To the point of running the club if necessary) if it isn't to get a slice of that "20,000" crowd when playing Bradford at home ?
Indeed you did. But was the introduction of P & R ever really expected , whenever it was, to dramatically increase crowds and was that the sole purpose for the change ?
Funnily enough I asked the same question only a few days ago !

UMA MAHADEVAN-DASGUPTA
Published : Mar 13, 2009 00:00 IST
NOTHING, not even the quirky intelligence of Anurag Kashyaps earlier works, could have prepared us for the stunning beauty of his latest film, Dev D.
The film is based on Saratchandra Chattopadhyays doomed young man who drinks himself to death: Devdas, the quintessential loser protagonist who, blinded by a haze of alcohol and ego, is unable to marry his childhood sweetheart. Like Vishal Bharadwajs Omkara, based on Shakespeares Othello but intelligently transplanted into the badlands of 21st century Uttar Pradesh, Dev D is an example of an imaginative and meaningful adaptation, reinventing the early 20th century novel to tell us a beguiling story about the times we live in.
Kashyaps Dev is The Dude. Perched in London with a jaunty cap on his head and his laptop before him, he is engrossed in a chat with Chamak Challo, his childhood sweetheart Paro back home, asking her intimate questions. Do you , Dev begins to ask her on the phone, sitting in a cab continents away. This is the 21st century, and he is not about to ask whether she loves him. Does she touch herself? When she sends him a JPEG of herself naked, he smiles with relief: Paro, mein aa raha hoon.
It is a risky little joke in a film tradition that has always been coy about sexuality, but it is part of the riskiness of the whole enterprise, which is a painfully honest exploration of our notions about sexuality and morality.
Dev has always been a brat. He is after all the son, the scion, the young Punjabi male. He is the sugar factory owners son; she, the managers daughter. As teenagers sitting by the canal, Paro would bring him parathas, and he would demand achaar to go with them. Devs mother spoilt him then, and his father indulges him now. Sent away from home to London overnight, he will soon return as a young man to be received at the airport by his father, and escorted home by a brass band in a tractor.
Familiar vistas of mustard fields, with their bright yellow flowers, and Paro giggling: the standard Hindi movie routine with the heroine dancing joyfully as the pardesi returns. There is an especially lovely moment when we see the plane descending, with Paros laughing face superimposed against it. The background of the wedding, against which the drama of Dev and Paros meeting will play out, is another old favourite. We expect to see the lovers meet, and we know that there will be misunderstandings, that is what the Devdas story is about, but what we do not expect is Paros blazing outspokenness.
First Paro taunts a factory employee who claims to be in love with her, reminding him of his aukaat (status); then, after a misunderstanding, Dev taunts her with the same word for being a managers daughter. Never far away is the great darkness of the factory, with its crushing machinery and its blazing fires the source of these implacable distinctions.
Told a lie about Paros sexual appetite, Dev is driven to rage. According to him, his woman must retain her virginity for him, even if he has been at it in the chicken coops with someone else. Paro points out this hypocrisy to him with some choice words of abuse and liberating candour. Based on their angry exchange, they part ways. Paro gets married to a rich widower from Delhi; Dev grabs a bottle of vodka and drinks himself into a senseless stupor. He runs away to Delhi where he ends up in a seedy hotel room strewn with empty liquor bottles and half-eaten sandwiches and then, helped along by a pimp with an instinct for good business, on the frilly pink bed of a sex worker named Chanda.
Like everyone, Chanda has her story. She was a schoolgirl in Delhi named Leni, the daughter of an Indian father and a French-Canadian mother. When she unwittingly got caught in an MMS scandal, she was condemned as a slut (of course, those who called her that were the same people who downloaded the MMS and watched it with voyeuristic fascination). Even her father watched it and when Leni confronted him to ask how he could have done so, he killed himself. Adrift first in the icy emptiness of the Canadian landscape and then in the teeming streets of Delhi, Leni has drifted into prostitution.
Leni and her stoic sadness are at the quiet heart of the film. She completes her board exam, and one of the memorable scenes in the film shows her celebrating with the pimp and the other sex workers. She goes to college by day, living her other life by night, wearing her brightly-coloured wigs like the plumage of an exotic bird, her face painted anew each time, acting out the kinky fantasies of her clients. None of her clients, she tells Dev with an ironic smile, likes to use the word randi any more. It is out of fashion.
Devs Delhi is a city of drunken, stoned transients, where danger lurks in street corners. Chandas room, filled with colour and light, becomes a refuge from the darkness outside. In one of the many quietly beautiful moments in the film, Chanda paints the sad, empty smile of a clown on Devs face. They go swimming that night: their laughter is purifying, and as they share their stories there is a possibility of redemption.
And yet, Dev fails again. First unable to handle Paros imagined promiscuity, and now the realities of Chandas profession, he spirals rapidly into self-destruction. Paro accused him of being incapable of caring for anyone other than himself, and of loving only his reflection in the mirror. Now, unable to see anything clearly, least of all himself, Dev ends up crashing his new BMW, killing several others but emerging alive.
Amit Trivedis superb music is integral to the film, the 18 compositions add layers of texture and mood, from wistfulness to rage to detached irony, in a way that few other works have done. Emotional Atyachar in its first band version is raunchy and hilarious; but it is the haunting rock version that accompanies Dev on the road to self-destruction, which remains with us. The three sutradhars who narrate the story of his decline in moody song and hallucinatory dance, watch bemusedly as he lurches and spins into the abyss.
Rajeev Ravis camera films Devs decline with honesty, but also with compassion. We first see a man who has only himself to blame: an unlikeable hypocrite, too full of his ego to go up and apologise to the woman he claims to love. But then, in Devs lurching zigzag walk, as he roams the Delhi underground, in the shadowy half-lights of his hotel room, and even in the hollows of his face, we begin to comprehend the emptiness inside him. We see a boy whose father slapped him years ago, who remembers the slap and feels the hurt and is too bewildered to get a grip on his life.
As for Paro and Leni, their journeys, though separate, are also destined to intersect. In this film about so many journeys, we are asked to look at those who drift, those who take the wrong turns, and those who have stopped by the roadside, unable to go any further. The ending? It is happy, in the way that happiness ultimately is provisional. Kashyap has said that he believes in second chances, and so should we all. But at the end, Dev is still looking into the mirror.

El idioma karok o karuk es una lengua casi extinta del noroeste de California, Estados Unidos. Alguna vez fue el idioma del pueblo karok aunque ahora en su gran mayoría hablan inglés.
William Bright hizo trabajos para obtener material acerca del idioma karok y esto permitió documentar la lengua. De acuerdo a un censo del año 2000, había 55 personas de entre 5 y 17 años que podían hablar karok incluyendo 10 que tenían un nivel limitado de inglés.

Clasificación
Ha habido muchas propuestas de incluir al karok en la hipotética macrofamilia hokana:

En lo que concierne a las culturas karok, yurok y hupa, a pesar de las similitudes y parecidos, los idiomas no lo eran. El idioma karok no ha podido ser incontrovertiblemente relacionado con ningún otro idioma.

Fonología

Vocales

Consonantes
El inventario consonántico del karok viene dada por:

En los artículos sobre Karok (Bright, Macaulay, Haas) es común usar la convención americanista, por la cual los fonemas  se transcriben equivalentemente como /v, y, r; č, š/.

Gramática
La lengua karok es una lengua polisintética conocida por su método de ordenar o distinguir la información vieja de la nueva en la oración: «...hablantes de karok usan palabras separadas para comunicar detalles nuevos, destacar un detalle o sobreestimar un detalle; y usan afijos para detallar y así lograr que no se distraiga el oyente».

Otro rasgo notorio del karok es que la morfología verbal es muy compleja debido a la existencia de procesos morfofonémicos que oscurecen la regularidad de la lengua. Estos procesos incluyen la elisión vocálica, la contracción vocálica, la reducción de vocales junto a ciertas consonantes y el alargamiento de vocales. Los dos primeros aparecen cuando aparecen dos vocales en contacto o en sílabas adyacentes. La reducción de vocales se da en contacto con los fonemas /v/ y /y/ que desaparecen entre ciertas vocales quedando una de las vocales modificada en timbre:
(1) /ʔu-ʔif-aviš/    3ªSG-crecer-FUT >  'crecerá'
(2) /ʔu-kyav-aviš/    3ªSG-hacer-FUT >  'hará'
Además las raíces verbales se clasifican en raíces de acento fijo y de acento móvil. En estas segundas la posición del acento tónico dependerá de los sufijos añadidos, y se determina a partir de procesos morfofonémicos no triviales.

IMAGES OF the killing of Palestinians on the Israel-Gaza border during protests against the American Embassy relocation to Jerusalem have been shocking for many in Taiwan. The deaths were concurrent with the 70th anniversary of the Nakba, when more than 700,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes as part of Israeli settlement efforts. Sixty were killed on Tuesday, many of which were children, leading to protests across the world. However, instead of looking at this tragic set of events merely as a tragedy in a distant, faraway land, perhaps there are lessons from this to be drawn for Taiwan.
First, it is significant that many in Taiwan—particularly elders of the Taiwanese independence movement—has sometimes cited Israel as a model to aspire to. Israel is seen as a small, militarily powerful country which is able to ward of its neighbors, much as Taiwan might hope to ward off the threat of China. Likewise, despite being small, Israel is globally influential in the same way that Taiwan hopes for members of the Taiwanese diaspora to be influential. More broadly, Taiwan shares the same status as Israel in being more or less propped up regionally by the United States.
However, what is noteworthy in such comparisons it that Taiwanese see themselves as aspiring to the aim of becoming like Israel, instead of finding common cause between themselves and Palestinians. Palestine, after all, is also an unrecognized territory which strives for recognition, while facing violent threats and continued settler colonialism from Israel.
Yet it needs to be remembered that Palestine's struggle for self-determination is probably far better known internationally than that of Taiwan, as observed in the international BDS campaign. Taiwanese independence activists have in many cases failed situate Taiwan's struggle for self-determination alongside other, similar struggles, despite that BDS is an example of how to raise the international profile of a self-determination struggle.
But apart from the atrocities direct committed by the Israeli government, it has to be remembered in Taiwan that much of the blame for the deaths can be laid at the feet of the Trump administration. It was the Trump administration that unilaterally decided to move the American Embassy to the contested city of Jerusalem, in spite of the fact that this would likely lead to protests, and with the full knowledge that subsequent protests would probably be violently repressed by the Israeli government.
This fact only goes show the fundamental disregard for life of the Trump administration, then, irrespective of its political context. In the meantime, Trump administration officials in Israel at the time such as Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law, have said little about the killings and instead praised the embassy move in the most effusive of terms. The US has also blocked a UN motion calling for an investigation into the killings.
This fact about the Trump administration proves not only cause for moral critique, but something which raises concrete, rational dilemmas for Taiwan. Should Taiwan really puts its faith in America as the guarantor of its democratic freedoms from China, with the full knowledge that America, knowing that while America may claim to have the aim of preserving democratic freedoms globally, it is wholly capable of shrugging off such atrocities? That is, should Taiwanese place their faith in such a country to defend it?
Indeed, the fact that the Trump administration was willing to go ahead with the embassy move in spite of that diplomatic blowback on the scale as with the killings was very likely to happen should also throw water onto illusions in Taiwan that the Trump administration knows what it is doing diplomatically.
This is true whether in the Middle East or in East Asia, seeing as the Trump administration has to date relied on a small set of individuals to make sweeping decisions pertaining to American foreign policy globally instead of the the traditional diplomatic corps. Even if he has currently fallen out of favor with his father-in-law, Kushner himself, whom Trump depended on for both his MIddle East and East Asian policy early in his administration, proves a good example of this phenomenon. Nonetheless, idealization of the Trump administration continues for many, with Taiwanese remembering only those actions of the Trump administration which have benefited Taiwan, and forgetting the many more occurrences in which the Trump administration seemed to have little idea of what it was doing, or carrying out actions detrimental to Taiwan.
More generally, it remains likely that many in Taiwan will fail to connect the dots and see how events in Israel and Palestine are, in fact, crucial for Taiwan to note. All of this would return to Taiwan's longstanding idealization of America and Israel perhaps, as well Taiwan's diplomatic isolation having contributed to a failure to situate itself in context of events that seem to take place in faraway regions of the world.

Hilary Westfield is the pirate readers met in the first book, Magic Marks the Spot. It was in that book that she earned the name, Terror of the Southland. In this second book in the series, "The Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates," follows Hilary on another adventure where she goes off to save the Enchantress.
Readers from grades three well beyond grade seven will enjoy this swashbuckling tale of bumbling pirates and magic coins. Among the kidnapping and spying, Hilary shows her strong character of loyalty to friends as well as her fairness in all things. These traits cause a problem between her and the league, as most pirates are neither loyal nor fair. During the entertainment young readers will find themselves thinking about these issues in their own characters.
Exaggeration and sarcasm are two literary elements students will identify and enjoy. Of course, the comic fellow everyone loves is Hilary's gargoyle. He has a healthy self-esteem and has time in this book to begin dictating his memoirs to Hilary.
The book includes fictional newspaper articles, posters, announcements, invitations and even the kidnappers' note. It provides students with an opportunity to distinguish between different types of writing and will be a fun way for teachers to illustrate them in literacy classes.
These books will be a tease for reluctant readers and just might draw them in for more than one adventure. Arrrgh!
Extras: An excerpt of the next book in the series.
Lynn was standing at the bus stop when the Werther's original toffee got stuck in her throat and blocked any air from coming in or going out. People around her panicked, yelled for help, and dialed 911. Only one quiet voice said, "I'm going to help you." The skinny arms removed Lynn's backpack and did the Heimlich maneuver. But before Lynn or her friends could say thank you, the stranger was gone.
So begins a most engaging story between the haves and the have nots, or the citizens and the Underlanders. It is a tale the causes readers to determine what constitutes a family, as well as what good are our material things.
The secret friendship between Lynn and Blossom causes many problems for both girls as their worlds begin to intersect and collide. A promise lightly given then broken causes fear, betrayal and heartbreak.
A truly wonderful thing about this story is that neither side presumes to save the other. Those that our world might label as the have-nots are able to continue their own lives though. They do have to move.
Subplots include an irresponsible mother who goes from boyfriend to boyfriend without ever growing up, a special needs boy, and a couple of batty professors.
Fifth grade readers and beyond will enjoy this story of discovery and friendship. Reading teachers and librarians will use this book to reinforce literacy skills and fulfill core curriculum standards. It would also be an excellent reader aloud for upper elementary or middle school classes.

Pies, Pies, Pies, 1961
Like many artists of his generation, Wayne Thiebaud began his career as a commercial artist, including a short stint as a teen at Walt Disney Studios, before formally studying at San Jose State University. He came to Sacramento in the early 1950s for graduate study at (then) Sacramento State College and taught at Sacramento City College for nine years. In 1960, he joined the faculty of the art department at the University of California, Davis.
Thiebaud might have remained a beloved regional figure but for a 1956–57 teaching hiatus during which he worked on Madison Avenue in New York City. There he became acquainted with Elaine and Willem de Kooning, Philip Pearlstein, and other art luminaries. The turning point was a one-man exhibition at Allan Stone Gallery in 1962, which featured Thiebaud's still lifes. This happened to be the moment the Pop Art movement captured the nation's attention, and Thiebaud's subjects were confectioners' delights. In a May 1962 Time magazine summation of Pop Art's stars, Thiebaud's Allan Stone Gallery show inspired the moniker, The Slice-of-Cake School.
With a bright palette, consumerist imagery, and graphic presentation, Thiebaud's paintings were of the moment, but differed from Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Rosenquist. Those artists emphasized the methods and appearance of mechanical reproduction, but Thiebaud was a painterly practitioner. Depicting his subjects against clean white backgrounds, he outlined his forms with bands of rainbow color, creating an optical halation that further activated the surface of his work. He set the confections against vibrant blue shadows, and the cool contrast this provided to the artificial colors of the sugary treats became a signature element of Thiebaud's style. With their thick, luscious impasto, Thiebaud's paintings are greatly admired for the manner in which his edibles appear fully modeled and tantalizingly delicious.

By Michael Sheridan on 10/08/2021 News
Toyota Ireland, sponsor of Paralympics Ireland and global sponsor of the Paralympic and Olympic movements, has launched its latest "Start Your Impossible" omni-channel campaign that pays tribute to its Tokyo-bound Irish Paralympic ambassadors. Through the campaign, Toyota will celebrate the truly elite and competitive spirit of Paralympic athletes in a unique and personal style. The video series, featuring Jason Smyth, Ellen Keane, Nicole Turner and Patrick Monahan, offers viewers an insight into the day in the life of an elite Paralympian, while showcasing the sacrifices and resilience it takes to make it to Tokyo 2020. The campaign will be live from August 9th and into September across TV, radio, digital and through a media partnership with Off The Ball who will bring exclusive content to Toyota's channels live from Tokyo. Toyota has been an Official Partner of Paralympics Ireland since 2017 and is also a worldwide mobility partner to the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Toyota believes in breaking down barriers to mobility to create a more inclusive society. It is a belief perfectly exemplified by the achievements of these incredible Paralympians. Toyota has grown and evolved through the relentless pursuit and development of innovative technology with the power to improve lives, better society and create a safe and secure future for the next generation. Paralympics Ireland's mission is to lead elite Irish athletes with a disability to Paralympic Games success. The partnership will advance both organisations' objectives and bring Toyota's "Built for a Better World" brand proposition to life by showcasing the positive contribution it makes to life in Ireland. Commenting ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, Zoe Bradley, Head of Marketing and Communications at Toyota Ireland said, 'We are proud to be an official partner of Paralympics Ireland and to be supporting Jason, Ellen, Nicole and Patrick on their journey to Tokyo. There's a natural fit between Paralympics Ireland and Toyota Ireland's brand values of being relentless, inventive, and considerate – three traits which closely parallel what Paralympics is all about. The Start Your Impossible campaign showcases the talents of some of Ireland's finest athletes and truly embodies what the campaign is all about – commitment and ambition to realise potential. We are delighted to share this powerful campaign with our audience, to celebrate their passion and total dedication to their sport. We look forward to cheering them on from Ireland this month.'
