To all friends and forum family, Robert 'Al' Pettit, after a period of illness in his last week, passed away the morning of May 31st, 2012 at 2:50 AM.
Al is survived by his wife Lee, daughter Tara, son Chris, and three beautiful grand kids. Al loved his family, his beautiful home in Orangeville and his friends, and pets, very much.
Al also loved his online community, the great people he was able to be friends with, and those that he was able to help guide through the troubled and cloudy waters that is this horrific disease.
Al was diagnosed as early as 2003 with ALS. Since then, Al fought tirelessly to support the ALS community, helping raise an extraordinary amount of money through the Walk for ALS for support and research, and dedicated tens of thousands of hours to supporting others through their personal battles with this disease here at the forum.
Myself, like you, is in a bit of shock and very saddened upon hearing the news of Al's passing. Not only will this website miss Al, but we will all certainly miss Al's presence, charm, wit, off-the-wall sense of humour and relentless commitment to helping others.
For those of you that are not aware, Al first joined the ALS Forums May 24, 2004. Al's last post was May 25, 2012. Between May 2004 and May 2012, during those 8 years, there was rarely a day go by that Al didn't spend time answering questions, helping new members, conversing with old members, and spending hours a day overseeing the website, forum and community in general.
Al first contacted me in 2006 when this forum was being shutdown by the ALS Society of Canada due to legal reasons. Al insisted that the forum must remain online and continue to help people. Al explained to me that the forum was helping him meet others when he was no longer able to drive and easily leave the house. Al felt, and rightfully so, that the forum, and himself, could continue to help people, and that if it was put offline, people would not be able to find a similar safe place to meet, communicate and share experiences.
Al and I worked together to move the forum, members and posts, and to ensure it remained online for the 400-500 members that the forum had at that time.
Due to Al's hard work and perseverance, this website has remained online for six long, dutiful and caring years while amassing over 10,000 members and 100,000 of helpful posts. This forum, while titled "ALS Forums", surely can be referred to as "AL's Forum".
Al's family and friends were most important to him, but following that, all of you, this website and this support community were always on the forefront of his mind, always being looked after, and always cared for.
The world, and especially the ALS community, is a much sadder place today. Today, a hole was created as it lost one of the bravest soldiers and most dedicated individuals it's ever had.
All the best Al, thank you, and we wish you all the best on your new adventures.
This little piece of history is important to maintaining a heritage. Heritage supports the vision.
I benefited from Al's support when my wife had ALS in 2011. It's good that he is remembered.
The original Eulogy posted on the forum can be found here.
The original Facebook post can be found here.
Many people wrote comments saying how much they admired and missed Al. Me too.
Powerful legacy here. I'm so very grateful to Al and his understanding and vision of what this forum meant and continues to mean for those coming behind him. I hope he knows.

High school musicians embody many virtues that we, as Marines, admire. To help high schools promote recognition of achievements and sacrifices their musicians make, the Marine Corps provides the Semper Fidelis Music Award. It's an award in spirit with traditions that date back to the days of John Philip Sousa and his role in making the Marine Corps Band the premiere musical unit it is today -- The Presidents Own. The award need not be geared toward the top notch instrumentalist who may be receiving music scholarships, but can be used to recognize your competent musician who has shown yearly improvement, dedication and enthusiasm.
The purpose of making this award is to assist you, the director, in honoring a deserving, outstanding bandsman and at the same time provide an incentive to those who may be eligible for the award in subsequent years.

Home Sci-Tech News Superfast internet may replace world wide web
Superfast internet may replace world wide web
Apr 9, 2008: 5:21 am
By Lewis Carter
The internet could soon be made obsolete by a new "grid" system which is 10,000 times faster than broadband connections.
Web could collapse as video demand soars
Scientists in Switzerland have developed a lightning-fast replacement to the internet that would allow feature films and music catalogues to be downloaded within seconds.
The invention could signal the end of the dreaded 'frozen screen', when computers seize up after being asked to process too much information.
The latest spin-off from Cern, the particle physics centre that created the internet, the grid could also provide the power needed to send sophisticated images; allow instant online gaming with hundreds of thousands of players; and offer high-definition video telephony for the price of a local call.
David Britton, professor of physics at Glasgow University and a leading figure in the grid project, believes grid technology could change society.
He said: "With this kind of computing power, future generations will have the ability to collaborate and communicate in ways older people like me cannot even imagine."
The power of the grid will be unlocked this summer with the switching on of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a new particle accelerator designed to investigate how the universe began.
The grid will be turned on at the same time to store the information it generates, after scientists at Cern, based near Geneva, realised the internet would not have the capacity to capture such huge volumes of data.
The grid has been built with fibre optic cables and modern routing centres, meaning there are no outdated components to slow the deluge of data, unlike the internet.
There are 55,000 grid servers already installed, a figure which is expected to rise to 200,000 within the next two years.
Professor Tony Doyle, technical director of the grid project, said: "We need so much processing power, there would even be an issue about getting enough electricity to run the computers if they were all at Cern.
"The only answer was a new network powerful enough to send the data instantly to research centres in other countries."
Britain has 8,000 servers on the grid system, meaning access could be available to universities as early as this autumn.

President Trump's provocative use of social media — including his recent retweeting of three anti-Muslim videos from a far-right British fringe group — could put lives at risk, according to one former CIA director. The agency's current director, meanwhile, countered that Trump's tweets have helped uncover useful information for the U.S.
Such were the views expressed Saturday by Leon Panetta, former CIA head and secretary of Defense in the Obama administration, and Trump's pick to lead the agency, Mike Pompeo.
Panetta and Pompeo were among scores of experts sharing sometimes-clashing views during a two-day conference on security and foreign policy at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley. Along with cyber-threats, a recurring theme was the threat posed by North Korea, which launched an intercontinental ballistic missile Tuesday.
The exchange between Panetta and Pompeo over the president's tweets came during the day's final panel, with Panetta warning that Trump's retweets of the anti-Muslim videos, an action denounced by the British government, could have far-reaching results.
He noted that Koran burnings have led to demonstrations and violence overseas.
In 2012, several U.S. soldiers misinterpreted an order to dispose of Korans that they believed were being used by prisoners at a U.S. detention center near Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan to pass written messages.
The soldiers dumped the Korans into a pit used to incinerate trash, an act seen by Afghan workers. News of the incident led to attacks that killed seven Americans and triggered riots that left more than 30 people dead.
Panetta, then secretary of Defense, apologized for the incident.
In 2011, a U.N. compound in Afghanistan was overrun and workers killed after news that a fundamentalist pastor in Florida intentionally burned a Koran.
Panel moderator and Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier asked Panetta to expand on comments he made days earlier about Trump's retweets. "I'm not sure he fully understood the implications of what he was doing," Panetta said.
When asked by Baier in a largely tongue-in-cheek manner whether "one account on Twitter makes your job hard" — a question that drew laughs from the audience — Pompeo pushed back.
"I've actually seen it help us," he said.
Without getting into specifics, Pompeo said "some things" Trump tweeted "actually had a real-world impact" on the agency's ability to understand what's going on abroad.
Specifically, adversaries responded to those tweets in ways that allowed his organization to determine who was listening to what messages and how those messages resonated around the world, Pompeo said.
The discussion with the two CIA directors was part of the Reagan National Defense Forum, an annual conference that brings together defense industry representatives, current and former government officials, representatives of Congress and others to discuss issues such as foreign policy and the defense industry.
During the panel discussion, Pompeo and Panetta also touched on the threat of North Korean missile development, the need to improve both offense and defense against cyberattacks and battling terrorism.
Though largely congenial, the two did trade a few verbal jabs regarding the president's use of social media.
Speaking from his experience as chief of staff during the Clinton administration, Panetta said Trump needed to have a check process on his tweets.
"The whole purpose of the White House is to develop some discipline in terms of messaging, in terms of policy, in terms of everybody getting on the same page," Panetta said.
Pompeo noted that the international "flash points" Panetta mentioned earlier in the discussion, such as fighting terrorism and dealing with North Korea, existed before Trump took office.
"Message discipline, as you refer to it, got us to those places," he said.

Consciousness Coaching Testimonial #1 | The Edge.
During my consciousness journey I learned how to evaluate the "self" and it definitely taught me that it is good to get out of my comfort zone, because this is when change occurs and with this change, new opportunities presents itself.
Consciousness Coaching Testimonial #2 | The Edge.
I believe that it (consciousness coaching) is an empowering method of working, as it is not based on someone telling you what you are experiencing, giving advice or solutions, etc, but someone who can help to guide you to your own solutions, that work best for you as an individual.

Justia Dockets & Filings Ninth Circuit Arizona District Court Perkons v. American Acceptance, LLC. Filing 25
Perkons v. American Acceptance, LLC.
ORDER that Plas' [sic] 24 Motion for Default Judgment Against Dfts [sic] American Acceptance, LLC is granted and that pla Joan Perkons is awarded a total of $13,388.38 from defendant American Acceptance, LLC, consisting of actual damages of $5,000.00 pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1692k(a)(1), statutory damages of $1,000.00 pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1692k(a)(2)(A), and $7,388.38 in attorneys fees and costs pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1692k(a)(3); that the Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment accordingly. Signed by Judge Paul G Rosenblatt on 11/28/10. (ESL)
Perkons v. American Acceptance, LLC. Doc. 25 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 WO IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA Joan Perkons, Plaintiff, vs. American Acceptance, LLC, Defendant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) No. CV-10-8021-PCT-PGR ORDER Pending before the Court is Plaintiffs' [sic] Motion for Default Judgment Against Defendants [sic] American Acceptance, LLC (Doc. 24), which the plaintiff has submitted on the pleadings. Having considered the record and having determined that no evidentiary hearing is necessary, the Court finds that plaintiff Joan Perkons is entitled to the entry of default judgment against defendant American Acceptance, LLC pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(b)(2). The plaintiff commenced this action on January 26, 2010; the one-count complaint alleges that the defendant's actions in seeking to collect a consumer debt from the plaintiff violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA"), 15 U.S.C. � 1962 et seq.1 In an order (Doc. 14) entered on June 8, 2010, the 1 The complaint alleges that the defendant violated the following sections Dockets.Justia.com 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Court denied the defendant's Motion to Dismiss, filed pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(5), and determined that the defendant had been properly served with process on March 8, 2010. In an order (Doc. 20) entered on July 12, 2010, the Court granted the defendant's counsel's unopposed motion to withdraw and required the defendant to substitute new counsel by August 16, 2010, and to file its answer by August 25, 2010; the Court advised the defendant that it would be subject to having default and default judgment entered against it if it failed to timely obtain new counsel.2 When the defendant failed to comply with the Court's order, the plaintiff filed its Request to Enter Default Against Defendant American Acceptance, LLC and the Clerk of the Court entered default (Doc. 22) against the defendant on August 27, 2010.3 Granting default judgment is within the Court's sound discretion. In exercising that discretion, the Court may consider such factors as (1) the possibility of prejudice to the plaintiff, (2) the merits of plaintiff's substantive claim, (3) the sufficiency of the complaint, (4) the sum of money at stake in the action[,] (5) the possibility of a dispute concerning material facts[,] (6) whether the default was due to excusable neglect, and (7) the strong policy underlying the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure favoring decisions on the merits. Eitel v. McCool, 782 F.2d 1470, 1471-72 (9th Cir.1986). After considering these factors as a whole in light of the current record, the Court concludes that entry of of the FDCPA: 15 U.S.C. �� 1692d and d(2), 1692e, e(2)(A), e(5) and e(10),1692f, and 1692(g). 2 A copy of the Court's July 12th order was provided to both the defendant's withdrawing counsel and to the defendant itself. 3 Copies of the plaintiff's default request, the Clerk's entry of default, and the plaintiff's motion for default judgment were all served on the defendant itself. -2- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 default judgment is appropriate. As to the first factor, the plaintiff would suffer prejudice if default judgment was not entered because she would be without recourse for recovery. As to the second and third factors, the complaint adequately alleges several violations of the FDCPA and the defendant, in seeking to challenge only the propriety of service in its Rule 12(b) motion, has not asserted that the complaint fails to state a FDCPA claim. As to the fourth factor, while the Court does not agree that the plaintiff is entitled to an award of all of the actual damages she is requesting, the sum of money at stake is not completely disproportionate or inappropriate to the allegations made in the complaint. As to the fifth factor, given the entry of default the Court must accept as true all of the well-pled allegations in the complaint regarding the defendant's FDCPA-based liability, Fair Housing of Marin v. Combs, 285 F.3d 899, 906 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 537 U.S. 1018 (2002), and the defendant has made no attempt to challenge the allegations in the complaint related to damages. As to the sixth factor, nothing in the record establishes that the defendant's failure to file an answer was due to excusable neglect given that the defendant, either through prior counsel or through notices sent directly to it by the plaintiff and the Court, has had notice of everything filed in this action. As to the last factor, the defendant's default has made it impossible to render a decision on the merits. The FDCPA provides that upon a finding of liability a court may award an individual plaintiff (1) "any actual damage" sustained as a result of the defendant's failure to comply with the FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. � 1692k(a)(1), (2) "such additional damages as the court may allow, but not exceeding $1,000", 15 U.S.C. � 1692k(a)(2)(A), and (3) "the costs of the action, together with a reasonable attorney's fee as determined by the court." 15 U.S.C. � 1692k(a)(3). The -3- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 defendant's default conclusively establishes its liability for violating the FDCPA.4 Adriana International Corp, v. Thoeren, 913 F.2d 1406, 1414 (9th Cir. 1990), cert. denied, 498 U.S. 1109 (1991). The plaintiff requests $20,000 in actual damages; the request is based on the emotional distress the plaintiff states she suffered as a result of the defendant's abusive collection tactics. While the FDCPA does not define what constitutes "actual damages," it is commonly accepted that damages stemming from emotional distress are compensable under the FDCPA. See Baker v. G.C. Services Corp., 677 F.2d 775, 780 (9th Cir.1982) ("The only actual damages that 4 Very briefly stated, the plaintiff alleges in her complaint and declaration as follows: that the defendant, through an agent named Mary Adams, first called the plaintiff around December 16, 2009; that Adams told the plaintiff that there was a judgment against her for more than $26,000; that Adams refused to send any documents or notices regarding the debt after the plaintiff requested something in writing regarding the debt; that Adams repeatedly yelled at the plaintiff while making statements such as that the defendant was already in court and that the plaintiff's wages and bank accounts would be garnished, that if she did not make an immediate payment she would forfeit all settlement offers and would have to pay the full debt and all court costs and attorney's fees which could amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars, that she had rejected certified letters concerning the debt and had ignored court paperwork, and that she was a deadbeat; that Adams transferred the plaintiff to another agent who refused to provide his or her name and who told her that they had had enough of her B.S. and that she needed to pay up; that the plaintiff was transferred to a third agent named Cynthia Johnson to whom the plaintiff, being scared, intimidated and confused, gave her bank account information, which resulted in the plaintiff's bank account being debited for $999; that the plaintiff later attempted to have her money returned to her because she believed that she was the victim of some sort of fraud; that in a subsequent conversation with Johnson the plaintiff was told that the defendant could no longer talked to her as the matter was in the hands of the court; and that in her last conversation with the defendant, the plaintiff asked for paperwork concerning the debt but was told that it would take 90-120 days to request that and that because of the request she would not get a pay off of the account. -4- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 a plaintiff would be likely to incur [under the FDCPA] would be for emotional distress caused by abusive debt collection practices."); FTC Staff Commentary on the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 53 Fed.Reg. 50097, 50109 (Dec. 13, 1988) (noting that actual damages under the FDCPA include "damages for personal humiliation, embarrassment, mental anguish, or emotional distress.") Having reviewed the factual allegations of the complaint, which the Court must accept as true given the defendant's default, together with the plaintiff's declaration, and the FDCPA's requirement that the Court consider such factors as "the frequency and persistence of noncompliance by the debt collector, the nature of such noncompliance, and the extent to which such noncompliance was intentional" in determining the amount of damages, 15 U.S.C. � 1692k(b), the Court concludes that the plaintiff is entitled to an award of actual damages. The Court cannot conclude, however, that the plaintiff has sufficiently established that she is entitled to $20,000 in actual damages. While the plaintiff asserts that damages for emotional distress may be recovered under the FDCPA without satisfying the forum state's requirements for proving the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress, that is in fact an issue that the Ninth Circuit has not yet resolved. District courts within the Ninth Circuit have split on the issue, with some requiring that the forum state's tort law for emotional distress be satisfied while others have applied a lower standard akin to that used in cases brought under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"), which has an "actual damages" provision virtually identical to that of the FDCPA. Compare Morisaki v. Davenport, Allen & Malone, Inc., 2010 WL 3341566, at *4 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 23, 2010) (recognizing the split of authority within the Ninth Circuit and adopting the lesser standard that a plaintiff need only offer evidence that she -5- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 suffered emotional distress as a result of the FDCPA violation in order to recover emotional distress damages); Fausto v. Credigy Services Corp., 598 F.Supp.2d 1049, 1054-55 (N.D.Cal.2009) (concluding that a plaintiff may recover emotional distress damages under the FDCPA without proving the elements of the state law cause of action for intentional infliction of emotional distress), with Bolton v. Pentagroup Financial Services, LLC, 2009 WL 734038, at *10 (E.D.Cal. March 17, 2009) (recognizing the split of authority and adopting the stricter standard requiring a FDCPA plaintiff to establish the state law elements to sustain a claim for emotional distress damages.) Given the remedial purpose of the FDCPA and the similarity of its damages provision to that of the FCRA's, which the Ninth Circuit has at least impliedly determined is met simply by the plaintiff tendering evidence of his actual emotional distress without requiring the incorporation of the forum's state's tort elements, see Riley v. Giguiere, 631 F.Supp.2d 1295, 1315 (E.D.Cal.2009) (discussing Guimand v. Trans Union Credit Information Co., 45 F.3d 1329, 1333 (9th Cir.1995), wherein the Ninth Circuit held that the FCRA's "actual damages" provision includes recovery for emotional distress and humiliation, in determining that the FCRA's lesser standard for establishing emotional distress damages applies to the FDCPA), the Court is persuaded that the plaintiff does not have to prove the elements of Arizona's tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress in order to be entitled to emotional distress damages. See also, Davis v. Creditors Interchange Receivable Management, LLC, 585 F.Supp.2d 968, 970-976 (N.D. Ohio 2008) (extensively analyzing why state tort law requirements for emotional distress damages are not applicable to the FDCPA). The only evidence that the plaintiff has submitted to substantiate the -6- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 emotional distress the defendant's actions caused her is her declaration. In that declaration she states that the defendant's actions violative of the FDCPA, which took place over a short period of time commencing in mid-December, 2009, overwhelmed her; that they resulted in her bank account being debited $999, that it took her several weeks to have the withdrawal reversed and that left her in a financial mess during the holiday season which forced her to fall behind on some bills and pay others with high interest credit cards; that they caused her to suffer a great deal of mental anguish in the form of stress, anxiety, sleeplessness, nightmares, hopelessness, nervousness, change in appetite, restlessness, irritability, digestive disorders, chest pains, migraines, depression, sudden weight gain and exacerbation of her pre-existing medical conditions; that she sought medical care for her symptoms and was referred to a cardiologist who conducted an echo cardiogram and heart stress test, and she was given medications for heart arrhythmia and chest pain; that the results of the heart test revealed scar tissue around her heart, a hole in her heart, and a prolapsed mitral value; and that the plaintiff believes that her heart problems were caused by prolonged stress stemming from the defendant's actions and the consequences of those actions over the previous year. The plaintiff has not submitted any corroborating medical evidence, or any other corroborating evidence from any other source. While the Ninth Circuit has not specifically ruled on whether corroborating evidence is necessary to prove the amount of emotional distress damages awardable under the FDCPA, it has generally stated that emotional distress damages can be awarded without corroborative evidence where circumstances make it obvious that a reasonable person would suffer significant emotion harm. Hartung v. JD. Byrider, Inc., 2009 WL 1876690, at *8 (E.D.Cal. June 26, 2009) -7- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 (citing to In re Dawson, 390 F.3d 1139, 1150 (9th Cir.2004), wherein the Ninth Circuit discussed the type of proof needed to establish emotional distress damages stemming from a violation of the automatic bankruptcy stay.) While the Court recognizes that the plaintiff's declaration is relatively conclusory, the Court concludes that the evidence of record is sufficient to establish that a reasonable person would have suffered at least some significant emotional distress given the circumstances. The Court deems an award of $5,000 damages sufficient to compensate the plaintiff for her emotional distress under 15 U.S.C. � 1692k(a)(1). See e.g., Kajbos v. Maximum Recover Solutions, Inc., 2010 WL 2035788, at *3 (D.Ariz. May 20, 2010) (Relying on the plaintiffs' essentially identical and fairly conclusory declarations, the court awarded $5,000 in actual damages per plaintiff under the FDCPA as a result of the plaintiffs' emotional distress and mental anguish in the form of fear of answering the telephone, sleeplessness, feelings of hopelessness, pessimism, and nervousness which impacted their jobs, their personal relationships, and created marital instability.) The plaintiff also requests statutory damages in the amount of $1,000. The Court concludes that such an award is appropriate pursuant to 15 U.S.C. �1692k(a)(2)(A) given that the plaintiff has established that the defendant committed multiple violations of the FDCPA. The plaintiff further requests attorney's fees in the amount of $6,875 and costs in the amount of $513.38. The plaintiff's counsel seeks an hourly rate of $275, which he has supported through his declaration setting forth his three-years of experience litigating FDCPA cases, his continuing education in the area of fair debt collection practices, and attorney fees he as been awarded in similar cases, as well as the substantiating declaration of his law firm's supervising partner. -8- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Given the plaintiff's counsel's training, experience and skill level, the Court concludes that the hourly rate charged is reasonable and consistent with the prevailing market rate in the greater Phoenix area for lawyers of his skill level. Having reviewed the plaintiff's counsel's timekeeping records, the Court also concludes that the 25 hours that the plaintiff's counsel billed in this action, which reflects a billing judgment reduction of 6.3 hours, is reasonable. The Court further concludes that the plaintiff has sufficiently established that she is entitled to the requested $513.38 in compensable costs, which consists of a $350 filing fee, a $150 service of process fee, and $13.38 for photocopying and postage fees. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs' [sic] Motion for Default Judgment Against Defendants [sic] American Acceptance, LLC (Doc. 24) is granted and that plaintiff Joan Perkons is awarded a total of $13,388.38 from defendant American Acceptance, LLC, consisting of actual damages of $5,000.00 pursuant to 15 U.S.C. � 1692k(a)(1), statutory damages of $1,000.00 pursuant to 15 U.S.C. � 1692k(a)(2)(A), and $7,388.38 in attorney's fees and costs pursuant to 15 U.S.C. � 1692k(a)(3). IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment accordingly. DATED this 28th day of November, 2010. -9-

Students Volunteer to Get Pepper Sprayed
Robert Resendiz, Photography Editor
On Friday, May 12, a video was posted on Twitter that suddenly became viral. It showed students at Barberton High School in Ohio getting pepper sprayed as part of a class assignment, according to Fox 8 News.
The class instructor is a former police chief and the video was shot by a parent who had consented to be present for the assignment, according to CNN News.
In order to participate, the students needed a waiver signed by their parents, it was not mandatory. The video shows a row of teens lined up against a building. One by one, an officer pepper sprays each student as they began to grin and eventually screamed with suffering.
"It felt like sticking your face into a bonfire," said a participant, Joshua Horvath, according to U.S. News.
CNN News reported hundreds of comments on Twitter ranting. Little did they know this activity was voluntary, "This teacher should be fired for his job #firethisteacher," Jose Benitez tweeted.
The purpose of this assignment was for a criminal technology class. Some of the students are hoping to enter law enforcement, so they were exposed to the experience and comprehension of getting pepper sprayed. It is also it was a credit for graduation if they are interested for the Ohio tech program, according to New York Daily News.
U.S. News reported Horvath, a student who wants to be a police officer said, "It teaches us what we're going to be doing in the field, it keeps kids out of trouble because once you learn at a younger age, you're like oh, yeah, I don't wanna do that again."
"It's an excellent program," said a parent of one of the students, Melody Steinhour, recording the video." The philosophy is, if you're going to carry pepper spray or you're going to carry a Taser and use it as a weapon, you need to know what it feels like before you inflict that pain on someone else," she told ABC News.
After all, Barberton High School might be an example for law enforcement programs offered to youth.

Friedrich Kraner (15 October 1812, in Eibenstock – 17 January 1863, in Leipzig) was a German schoolteacher and classical philologist.

He studied philology at the University of Leipzig as a pupil of Gottfried Hermann. Afterwards, he worked as a teacher in Annaberg (from 1835), then served as an Oberlehrer (senior instructor) in Meissen (from 1838). In 1857 he was named director of the gymnasium in Zwickau, and in 1862 was appointed rector of the Thomasschule in Leipzig.

Published works
He is best remembered for his scholarly treatment of Julius Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico and Commentarii de Bello Civili. The following are a few of Kraner's noteworthy written efforts:
 Plutarchi Vita Phocionis, 1840 – edition of Plutarch's life of Phocion.
 Hellenica : die Geschichte Griechenlands bis zum peloponnesischen Kriege nach ihren Hauptmomenten in Auszügen aus griechischen Schriftstellern für mittlere Gymnasialclassen, 1842 – Hellenica, the history of Greece up to the Peloponnesian War, etc.

Two girls gang-raped
Photo: Republica/Files
RUPANDEHI, June 24: Two gangs of at least eight people have raped two girls at Gaidahawa rural municipality of Rupandehi district, said the police.
Although the rape took place on June 17, it came to light later as the rapists threatened the rape survivors with death, said the local people. One of the rapists Jiban Gyawali has been arrested, and a rape case has been filed against him, said Inspector Shankar Pokharel, adding that a search has been launched for other fleeing rapists.
On that fateful evening, local resident Bishnu Tharu called the two girls in their early 20s to his home for a snack. After having snack, they were about to leave. But Bishnu had a plan, who called his two colleagues and they together pounced on them and raped one of the girls. However, another girl managed to escape the clutches of the rapists, but only to be raped by another gang of five local men involving arrestee Gyawali in her attempt to run to safety.
The girl escaped, reached nearby village of Hasanapur and begged the gang of the men for a help, but only to be raped by them. The youths raped her instead, said Tek Bahadur Balal, chairperson of Gaidahawa-9.
"Many men are involved in the rape according to the rape survivors. However, only a rapist has been arrested so far. All rapists should be booked, and the girls get justice," he said. The rape survivors are receiving treatment and their health is said to be normal.

Mummification VS. Fossilization
In a previous blog I spoke of ancient Egyptians and how they mummified their pharaohs (http://anthropologicalconcepts.weebly.com/blog/-are-you-my-mummy), and briefly spoke of how the elements could mummify dead bodies. That said, why do we not have mummified Australopithecus or Neanderthals? In the following blog I will discuss how the environment has to be just right to mummify or to fossilize.
 The most famous case of mummification is in ancient Egypt, but that was a process that took much time. In several cases there is such a thing as accidental mummification. An example of this accidental mummification are the "Greenland Mummies." In 1972 a group of a six month old baby, a two year old boy, and six women were found in a shallow cave, and three women found in a second grave that dated back to 1475 c.e. It seemed to be meant as a mass family grave because after their DNA was studied it was found that all, except one, were related (it is theorized the one that did not have DNA in common was family by marriage). All of who was buried were dead before placed there, that is everyone but the six month old baby (image below), who "was found to have Down's Syndrome and may have been left out to die of exposure because of his condition," also his mother had died earlier, so there was no one to watch over him. These bodies were mummified naturally by two factors. First was the temperature, which was sub-zero, and second were the winds. When there is wind in sub-zero temperatures it is a dry, dehydrating wind (image below). So, in a sense, the six month baby was mummified alive. In my blog about human soap (http://anthropologicalconcepts.weebly.com/blog/-human-soap), I described how bog bodies are formed. They are another example of accidental mummification.
Now in my mummy blog I said "When you live in a country where most of it is dry and sandy, it is very easy to get mummified by the elements," of which I was speaking of Africa. It is easy to get distracted from the Africa in our recorded history and to think that it has always been the way. If it had always been that way, then all the fossils that are not found in the deserts or dry environments would have been mummified, so...how? Well, the key words that I have just said "our recorded history." The history of which the fossils of early hominids that were fossilized came from a more fertile Africa. There are many fish, plant, animal, and hominid fossils in areas in which are now just sand. This means it had to have been just right for these fossils to form. For a fossil to form you need for the organism to be buried quickly under sand, earth, mud, or volcanic ash. Once buried, and as time passes, layer after layer of earth is accumulated (this is where stratigraphy comes in), and before you know it, a million years have passed, and they are being excavated by paleontologists or paleoanthropologists if they are hominid (paleontologists study extinct animals, while paleoanthropologists study human evolution). "The heat and pressure from being buried in sediment can sometimes cause the tissues of organisms — including plant leaves and the soft body parts of fish, reptiles and marine invertebrates — to release hydrogen and oxygen, leaving behind a residue of cardon" (and this is where carbon dating comes in).
But what happened to all of our evolutionary ancestors that they were able to be fossilized? They could have drowned and their body deposited in the water bed covered by sediment (this one is ideal), they could have suffocated on ash during a volcanic eruption, or just buried (there is evidence that pre-historic hominids buried their dead). That said, most of the dead we have buried through the ages probably have begun to fossilize (the caskets rot away leaving the body, or what is left of it, to the earth).Yet, even though mummification and fossilization look completely different in the outcome, they are in the end, fossilized.
Evolution of Anthropologists
Most things we know about our species, Homo sapiens, have come from at least one area of anthropology; whether it be cultural, archaeology, linguistics, or physical, all these are part of who we are. Modern anthropologists go to great lengths to get information for the masses. They participate, they observe, they participate and observe, or organize and conduct digs. It seems like they are an active bunch, but it was not always this way; or it is better to say it began that way but then shifted.
The man who is seen as the Father of American (U.S.) Archaeology is also the Father of the Declaration of Independence; Thomas Jefferson. He had always been interested in the Native Americans of Virginia. "Jefferson studied and made note of the similarities and differences between over forty tribal languages in Virginia." Unfortunately most of those notes were lost when a wagon transporting his belongs from the White House to Monticello was ransacked. But this linguistic study was just the start to his curiosity. He had learned of mounds located in Virginia, and one in his neighbourhood, which he was determined to open and examine thoroughly. His notes on the excavations were very detailed; I am tempted to say that he did a better job with the Native American mounds than Howard Carter with King Tut. "Jefferson wrote that the mound was 'of spheroidical form, of about 40 feet diameter at the base, and had been of about twelve feet altitude...I first dug superficially in several parts of it, and came to collections of human bones, at different depths, from six inches to three feet below the surface.'" The key words in this are "I...dug." He was willing to do the hard work to satisfy his curiosity. Even though, in Jefferson's era, archaeologists were seen as digging and so on a hobby (Speculative Period, 1492 – 1840), in everything he did was so meticulous, he was a practicing field archaeologist. (below: on the left is a mammoth tooth fossil Jefferson found; on the right is an example of a Native American burial mound.)
Although, in the late 19th early 20th centuries there was a huge change in how anthropology was done. I would go as far to say that it really was not done. Sure there were scholars and anthropologists working, but they were working from the comfort of their homes, not going out into the field to gather information or to see events with their own eyes and draw from that; these types of anthropologists are called "arm-chair anthropologists" because they would just sit and speculate. It is enough to say that the Speculative Period should have been this period. They would go through artifacts that were brought or sold to them and just make conclusions or using their imagination on what they had in front of them. Even though E.B. Tylor founded cultural anthropology in this time period, it lead to racism and ethnical stereotypes. It was a dark time for anthropology. The reason I say this is because being an anthropologist is to make assessments with the leg work, not without it.
Modern anthropologists do just that, they go do the research for themselves. They go to different states for research with like minded anthropologists, they go to completely different countries to observe other cultures, they go to isolated areas to dig, sometimes with just a party of five people including them. For physical anthropologists, the dig is something we look forward to; because if we are digging that means we are digging towards something. But to get the funds to go dig is a totally different story; you needs grants and definite proof that the excursion will be worth it. But even though going to different countries for research is the epitome for an anthropologist (besides getting published), just going to the next state over to broaden your knowledge or research qualifies as leg work. Just do not make assumptions and conclusions from a computer or television screen while sitting comfy on your chair. If you condense what an anthropologist has to do, it is leg work...and publication.
The Worries of Bones
We like to think bones as part of the body that just needs a lot of calcium, and when you get older, more care. If you are your everyday human, you go to school or work, come home, and have family time; your bones never cross your mind. But what about those whose bones are in danger every time they do their job? For example, those who participates in sports. I am sure their minds are on the game, and not on their bones; they must think that their outfits will protect them. But...what happens when it does not do the job? In the following blog I will address the most common sports breaks.
 If you have taken a look at the section of this website titled "Labeled Human Skeleton (http://anthropologicalconcepts.weebly.com/labeled-human-skeleton.html)," you have seen how many bones look like they are prime to be broken if not protected. The most common bone that is broken will take you by surprise (it surprised me); it is the clavicle. But after researching how it can fracture it does not seem so surprising. It is settled between the manubrium and scapula, and in reality it is just floating there. If the actual clavicle is hit with enough force it will, of course, break, but there are other ways it can fracture. For example if someone is tackled or hits the ground with enough force on their side, that force could cause pressure on the clavicle and in turn cause it to break. And landing on the side with the arm close to the body or extended over the head, both can cause a clavicle to fracture.
Now we have broken arms, but an arm is made up of three bones, humerus, radius, and ulna. Just like the clavicle, and for other bones I will speak of, the major deciding factor for a bone to break is pressure. If the pressure is just too much, it will give in. In football, for example, they constantly use their arms to clear their path and to defend the ball ("Fall on an outstretched arm, often during sports or from a height" can cause both the ulna and radius to break; the area of the radius closest to the thumb is what usually breaks resulting in a broken wrist). When the arm is in a defense position, the ulna is the bone that gets the beating, and when they are pushing their way through, it is the humerus. Humeral fractures can be proximal (closer to the top), distal (closer to the bottom), or to the shaft. A proximal fracture has the highest percentage. Just like with the ulna, a fall or a direct hit can cause it to break.
Next we have the calcaneus. Seeing how much running is done in sports it is no surprise that this is a bone that is one of the commonly broken ones. Even if you do not participate in sports, just taking a wrong step or a bad fall from your bike can cause a broken calcaneus. "In some cases when you twist an ankle you might think you have something like a sprain, but broken ankles and sprains can seem similar." The sports in which these are common are soccer, football, basketball, and rugby. Another bone, or bones that are also in your foot are at a high risk of fracture, these are the phalanges of the foot. Seeing how close to 25% of your bones are in your feet, it is not surprising to see the toes on this list. The bones of the feet are strong, strong enough to support us when running, walking, jumping, doing anything that requires locomotion. Of these bones, the phalanges and calcaneus are very exposed. In sports that require kicking, like football or soccer, this is common. But it is also common in basketball and ballet. In ballet it seems to be a normal occurrence due to stress these small bones undergo when they take certain poses.
The next bone is most commonly broken in contact sports, like boxing, football, and rugby, that is the nasal bone. With this one, just like the calcaneus, you do not have to participate in these sports to have a broken nose. Just being in a fight that someone takes a swipe to your face, or falling on your face can easily break this bone. Unlike the rest of the skull, which is make up of thicker bone, the nasal bone is thinner and unluckily, more prominent than the rest of your skull. "Fractures often cause the nose to become misshapen as well as resulting in pain and swelling; a person may also have difficulties with breathing and a black eye." With a broken nose, it is lucky that the orbit sustains no damage; although, again, depending on the force of the hit, it just may.
You may have noticed that neither the tibia, fibula, or femur were amoung the ones I have spoken of, with good reason. The femur is the strongest bone in the body that can withstand 160 PSI (pound-force per square inch), and is stronger than steel (not to mention much more malleable). So when you put pressure on the femur, it takes most of it to keep the tibia and fibula with less pressure. When playing sports, or just going about your everyday life, I think it is important to take your bones into account. Because, as you have just read, they can fracture, some with intent some by just taking the wrong step. This goes out to all my readers; I hope you never have to go through the pain of a broken bone, mostly because the time can vary with what kind of fracture is sustained. Below are examples of different fractures and their names.
"Transverse fractures go more or less straight across the bone.
Oblique fractures are diagonal breaks across the bone.
Spiral fractures happen when one or both halves of the bone are twisted.
Comminuated fractures break the bone into more than two pieces.
Avulsion fractures mean pieces of the bone have been pulled apart.
Impacted fractures are the opposite of avulsion fractures. These happen when a piece of bone is pushed down into another piece of bone.
Fissure fractures are cracks in the bone.
Greenstick fractures happen when the bone bends and breaks partially, but not completely."

Features of the rhombohedral-to-orthorhombic structural phase transition in La1-xSrxMnO3
M. Arao, Yasumasa Koyama, Y. Inoue, Y. Moritomo
The R3̄c-to-Pbnm structural phase transition in La1-xSrxMnO3, Which is characterized by changes in the rotational displacement of the MnO6 octahedra and in the crystal system, has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy. The experimental data indicate that the former change results in the appearance of thé antiphase boundary and the latter produces the {110} and {112} twin structures. In addition, the structural phase transition can be reproduced on the basis of the Landau theory, in which a normal structure and an order parameter are, respectively, assumed to be the Pm3m structure and normal coordinates of the rotational displacements.

There's good news then bad news then good news. The good news is that we showed up as a party of 14 and they accommodated us.
The bad news will be dealt with in a separate post but let's just say that when your drink is served with a heavy dose of arrogance it doesn't taste as good.
Now- to get back to the good news. Because our party was so large we were moved downstairs which was the best thing ever. Upstairs is lively and crowded and noisy and happening. Downstairs is windowless and quiet and nondescript. However, it was perfect for us. We needed some space to hear each other speak. If you are planning a large gathering in Riverside, California, this could be the venue for you. 30 minutes into our meal we were joined downstairs by another large party, a wedding party to be exact, but the space was big enough and the staff efficient and professional enough to accommodate us both without issue.
The food was mostly good. Here's what I liked: Brussel sprouts, filthy fries, wild kale salad, tomato sandwich, mac n' cheese, The Black & Tan, coffee & donuts.
Here's what I didn't like: The Really Good (burger) and the bacon ice cream.
I drank the Clever Girl (pink peppercorn infused tequila, pineapple, fresh lime juice, angostura bitters) and loved it. I also enjoyed my shot of silver tequila but it wasn't a recognizable name and by that point I was over writing it down.
Definitely stop by The Salted Pig if you're in the area and let us know what you ate and what you think.

Democrat In Name Only and the Pay or Die Health Insurance Lobby's "inside man" in the Senate Max Baucus has released details of the sweet deal big giveaway to his corporate masters which, by their orders, does not include a public option.
Recently Baucus, The Democrat in Name Only leader of the Senate Finance Committee who pretends to represent the People of Montana, actually lied to the Montana Democratic central committee chairs through his bought and paid for mouth and told his strongest supporters that he supported a public option.
His failure to support this key Democratic campaign promise spits on the grave of recently deceased "Liberal Lion" Ted Kennedy who fought for 47 years in the Senate and even up to the last days of his life to help America join the rest of the civilized world and ensure that all it's People have health care regardless of their wealth.
Baucus' plan will require all Americans to purchase health insurance from PAY OR DIE providers, with no not-for-profit alternative. The Democrat in Name Only's plan is thus a gigantic windfall for the health insurance ghouls who ride the miseries of the American People all the way to the bank while their profits rose 428 percent from $2.4 billion to $12.9 billion in 7 short years.
Baucus is a leading recipient of health care industry cash.

FIRE has destroyed an unoccupied housing commission home in Toolooa early yesterday morning.
At 1.05am, three fire crews attended a single-storey residential property in the vicinity of Angler St, near Trevally St, and found the property well alight, with flames coming out of all sides.
Two urban firefighter units from Gladstone and one from Boyne Island-Tannum Sands were called to help control the flames.
Gladstone area acting inspector Noel King said the fire took approximately two hours to extinguish.
"But the fire was under control within the first 30-45 minutes," Mr King said.
He also said the flames were at risk of spreading to other neighbouring properties.
"There was a problem on the eastern side of the building, where one of the houses next door sustained some minor damage," Mr King said.
No-one was inside the property at the time of the fire, but one firefighter was taken to Gladstone Hospital as a precautionary measure due to possible exhaustion.
"He was a pump operator of the (water) appliance, so a very physical job as you can imagine," Mr King said.
Although the flames were under control, the single-storey house was completely destroyed, and could be demolished.
It is believed no one was living in the housing commission property at the time of the fire, but had been in that state for weeks prior to the incident.
Police immediately set up a crime scene to investigate the cause of the blaze.
The fire appeared to have started at the front of the house, according to the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services, but police are still investigating.
"We're conducting further inquiries this morning in relation to the cause of the fire," Detective Senior Sergeant Anthony Andersen said at a press conference.
Toolooa House Fire QPS Press Conference: Detective Senior Sergeant Tony Andersen addresses the media over a house fire in Toolooa.
Police have been visiting neighbouring properties for more information regarding the blaze, but police are not ruling out arson.
"Destruction of property by fire/arson is very serious charge, and it can attract jail time, so it's a serious matter," Snr Sgt Anderson said.
"We treat all fires as suspicious until proven otherwise."
If anyone has information about the blaze, they are encouraged to come forward at the Gladstone Police Station, or phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

One lucky 12-year-old has just had her dreams come true; as she got to sing for the one and only Pink!
Victoria Anthony, from Vancouver, was asked to perform at Pink's show after she campaigned for weeks on social media to get the 'Beautiful Trauma' singer's attention.
"I'll be ready!" she added.
The tweet ultimately went viral and was covered by local news outlets.
At the concert, the 38-year-old popstar found Victoria in the crowd as asked: "Are you who I read about on the news? Are you the singer? Do you want to come sing something?"
"Wow!" Pink said. "You're amazing. Never stop."
There was really only one word for her performance... and that was 'PERFECT'!

Q: I want to delete some empty  tags using php in xml file I want to replace some empty p tags while creating xml file.

I used str_replace. That is not working we have to remove that one dynamically. Maybe we can use preg_replace for that .

Can you please write that preg_replace expression to me..
Thank you.

A: You can use regular expressions: use this regex to remove empty paragraph
Try
$data = // your html data
$pattern = "/
]*><\\/p[^>]*>/";
$data = preg_replace($pattern, '', $data);

To replace all empty tags:
$pattern = "/<[^\/>]*>([\s]?)*<\/[^>]*>/";

A: You really should look at not putting the empty
s in the XML file in the first place.
But, in case that is not possible, you can replace

 tags with optional whitespace and
 tags inside, like this:
$data  = '[...]'
$attr  = '(?:\s+[\w\d\-]+\s*=\s*(["\'])(?:\\\\1|[^\\1])+\\1)*\s*';
$regex = "~
(?:\s+|
)*
~i";

// Replace empty paragraphs with optional
// whitespace and
 inside it
$data  = preg_replace($regex, '', $data);

Edit:
If you just want to remove a paragraph with a space in it, then:
$data = 'asd

 asd';
$data = str_replace('

', '', $data);

A: try this:
$data = preg_replace("/
]*>\s*<\/p[^>]*>/i", "", $data);

Vale Alastair Field Lucas AO, Burnet Chairman
It is with deep sadness Burnet Institute acknowledges the passing of Alastair Lucas AO.
The former Burnet Chairman from 2002-2014, died peacefully today, aged 63, after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour late last year.
Alastair was a much loved and committed member of the Burnet Institute family.
Close friend and the Institute's Director and CEO, Professor Brendan Crabb AC said Mr Lucas' passionate commitment to medical research and international health had touched many lives.
"Alastair leaves an outstanding legacy for all those whose lives were touched by him, and the many lives saved through his generosity and passionate support of medical and public health research," Professor Crabb said.
"He was a great believer in science and its application to create a healthier, more equitable and better world.
"He was a passionate supporter of our work and our mission to achieve better health for the poorest and most marginalised people in our own community and throughout the world."
Appointed to the Burnet Board in 1998, Mr Lucas was Chairman of the Institute from 2002 to September 2014 when he stepped down following his cancer diagnosis.
His contribution, not only to Burnet, but Australian public life, had been exemplary.
"It is difficult to overstate the significance of Alastair's leadership during more than a decade as Chair. He guided us though tough times, helped redefine the Burnet and he set a wonderful example as a major donor," Professor Crabb said.
"His strategic advice and financial acumen enabled Burnet to establish a global reputation for excellence in research and public health activities, and put itself in a strong and stable financial position."
As founding Chairman of the Medical Research Future Fund Action Group he advocated for the AUD$20billion Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF); was the co-founder and Chairman of Cell Care; a board member at Research Australia; and he helped to develop the Medical Research Foundation to engage Australians in philanthropy.
In recent years Mr Lucas also became involved with animal welfare through 'Australia for Dolphins', the Jane Goodall Institute, the Lort Smith Animal Hospital, and Animals Australia.
In more than 20 years with Macquarie Bank, Mr Lucas distinguished himself as one of Australia's most experienced corporate advisors, culminating in his appointment as Chairman, Investment Banking. In 2004 he was appointed Chairman, Investment Banking at Goldman Sachs Australia.
Mr Lucas was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in the 2015 Queen's Birthday Honours for his outstanding contribution to medical research and international health, animal welfare, philanthropy and the business community.
Mr Lucas passed away peacefully on 6 July 2015.
Burnet Institute offers its sincere condolences to Alastair's family and close friends, particularly Louise.

Ancient Confession Found: 'We Invented Jesus Christ'
American Biblical scholar Joseph Atwill will be appearing before the British public for the first time in London on the 19th of October to present a controversial new discovery:
Ancient confessions recently uncovered now prove, according to Atwill, that the New Testament was written by first-century Roman aristocrats and that they fabricated the entire story of Jesus Christ.
His presentation will be part of a one-day symposium entitled "Covert Messiah" at Conway Hall in Holborn.
Although to many scholars his theory seems outlandish, and is sure to upset some believers, Atwill regards his evidence as conclusive and is confident its acceptance is only a matter of time.
"I present my work with some ambivalence, as I do not want to directly cause Christians any harm," he acknowledges, "but this is important for our culture.
Alert citizens need to know the truth about our past so we can understand how and why governments create false histories and false gods.
They often do it to obtain a social order that is against the best interests of the common people."
Atwill asserts that Christianity did not really begin as a religion, but a sophisticated government project, a kind of propaganda exercise used to pacify the subjects of the Roman Empire.
"Jewish sects in Palestine at the time, who were waiting for a prophesied warrior Messiah, were a constant source of violent insurrection during the first century," he explains.
"When the Romans had exhausted conventional means of quashing rebellion, they switched to psychological warfare. They surmised that the way to stop the spread of zealous Jewish missionary activity was to create a competing belief system.
"That's when the 'peaceful' Messiah story was invented. Instead of inspiring warfare, this Messiah urged turn-the-other-cheek pacifism and encouraged Jews to 'give onto Caesar' and pay their taxes to Rome."
[Jesus Christ] may be the only fictional character in literature whose entire life story can be traced to other sources.
Was Jesus based on a real person from history?
"The short answer is no," Atwill insists, "in fact he may be the only fictional character in literature whose entire life story can be traced to other sources. Once those sources are all laid bare, there's simply nothing left."
Atwill's most intriguing discovery came to him while he was studying "Wars of the Jews" by Josephus [the only surviving first-person historical account of first-century Judea] alongside the New Testament.
"I started to notice a sequence of parallels between the two texts," he recounts.
"Although it's been recognised by Christian scholars for centuries that the prophesies of Jesus appear to be fulfilled by what Josephus wrote about in the First Jewish-Roman war, I was seeing dozens more.
What seems to have eluded many scholars is that the sequence of events and locations of Jesus ministry are more or less the same as the sequence of events and locations of the military campaign of [Emperor] Titus Flavius as described by Josephus.
This is clear evidence of a deliberately constructed pattern.
The biography of Jesus is actually constructed, tip to stern, on prior stories, but especially on the biography of a Roman Caesar."
How could this go unnoticed in the most scrutinised books of all time?
"Many of the parallels are conceptual or poetic, so they aren't all immediately obvious. After all, the authors did not want the average believer to see what they were doing, but they did want the alert reader to see it.
"An educated Roman in the ruling class would probably have recognised the literary game being played."
Atwill maintains he can demonstrate that "the Roman Caesars left us a kind of puzzle literature that was meant to be solved by future generations, and the solution to that puzzle is 'We invented Jesus Christ, and we're proud of it.'"
Is this the beginning of the end of Christianity?
"Probably not," grants Atwill, "but what my work has done is give permission to many of those ready to leave the religion to make a clean break. We've got the evidence now to show exactly where the story of Jesus came from.
"Although Christianity can be a comfort to some, it can also be very damaging and repressive, an insidious form of mind control that has led to blind acceptance of serfdom, poverty, and war throughout history.
"To this day, especially in the United States, it is used to create support for war in the Middle East."
Atwill encourages skeptics to challenge him at Conway Hall, where after the presentations there is likely to be a lively Q&A session.
Joining Mr.Atwill will be fellow scholar Kenneth Humphreys, author of the book "Jesus Never Existed."
Further information can be found at www.covertmessiah.com, via www.prweb.com.
Joseph Atwill is the author of the best-selling book "Caesar's Messiah" and its upcoming sequel "The Single Strand."

Ed Sheeran Buys All His Neighbors Houses To Stop Them From Complaining About His Noise
Most of us with nagging neighbours have to put up with it and hope for the best but if you're Ed Sheeran, you can just buy their house off them to make the problems go away.
Ed's been working on building himself a mini village after buying up a fourth house next to his farmhouse – which also gets rid of the problem of his neighbour complaining about his building works.
The Cross Me star, whose new album No. 6 Collaborations Project went to number one without promo, initially bought his £895,000 farmhouse in Framlingham, Suffolk in 2012 and has spent a total of £3.7 million buying up properties around his home… which means he's also dropped over £350k on stamp duty too. Yikes.
He bought another Grade II listed house next door for £450,000 also in 2012, a £925,000 detached house in front of his own in 2016 and a bungalow on the other side of his drive for £525,000 in 2017.
The newest house had belonged to his neighbour, Sharon Jenk, who had complained about the building works going on over at Casa Sheeran.
He purchased the house in April after the neighbour had objected to his plans to build a tree house and a 32ft chapel in the grounds of his home.
Ed, whose net worth is estimated to be a huge £160 million as of 2019, had already installed a pub and a 'wildlife pond', which neighbours claim is actually a swimming pool in disguise – something he recently fenced off with a bunch of haybales.
The singer, 28, chose Framlingham to make his home after growing up in Suffolk, and meeting his wife, Cherry Seaborn, at school there.
He's been plagued by complaints from neighbours about planning applications, including building works on his chapel being put shelved as not to disturb a protected population of great crested newts in the area.
Sharon Jest had also objected to his treehouse in 2013 on the grounds that it would 'rise above the existing hedge and look directly into our property', something which is less of an issue now Ed owns that property too.

In this composite picture, we have two items (ignoring the background). First there is a bottle of shampoo and second is the bed. This puzzle is all about placement. The bottle of Head and Shoulders (TM Procter & Gamble) is above the bed. The bed is a symbol of rest. So the cliche pictured is Head and shoulders above the rest. Apparently the difficulty level of this puzzle was just that as only one person got the correct answer.
I gave the hint that you needed to fill in the speech bubbles with what they were saying. The guy who was shivering is saying "Brr". A cat says "Meow" and Homer Simpson says "D'oh" Put them all together and you have "BrrMeowD'oh" in the shape of a triangle. As I count, that would be four puns (for sure three, it actually is a triangle). And the picture of Bermuda in the background should have helped as well. Put everything together and you have the Bermuda Triangle.

The passing of one of my most fervent mentors has illuminated the topic for me as of late. My mentor was a former boss who always knew when to push or to pull or even when to stand down with a good "you'll figure it out." This mentorship taught me a lot about how to think when working with company leadership, and to think differently about my work and the engineering field as a whole. This industry does a lot of good around the world every day, not just in building the tallest bridge or in repaving a highway.
The industry is changing rapidly, but we still need those among us who can teach what the industry has already learned—and that knowledge is oftentimes bypassed in engineering school in favor of technical instruction in how to improve the world. Mentors teach protégés how to ready themselves for success in their own careers and methods for improving the world within the framework of their companies. They also teach the social side of the engineering field. The networking, contacts and opportunities they provide are invaluable.
We all know that mentors are important, but perhaps we don't really understand the impact that we can have as mentors. It's kind of an "It's a Wonderful Life" thing. Protégés learn more than what the mentors teach. They learn confidence and that there is someone who will watch out for them. Someone who will teach them how and when to find their voices and vision and perhaps even directions they hadn't considered. Mentors often teach actively, but just as often lead by example, modeling effective ways of conduct and communication.
AMT does a good job at mentoring its employees. Our leadership invests in the younger members of our industry, both inside the firm and through association contacts. We recognize that it's essential that younger generations of engineers learn from what their forebears understand. That said, mentors learn from their protégés as well. Technology changes at such a rapid rate and younger engineers bring fresh perspective to problem solving. They challenge accepted ways of doing things and this is a good thing.
*We strongly recommend against black socks with sandals. They are just wrong. Your protégé would tell you that.
