Hello and welcome back to Life's Biggest Questions, I'm Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.

We all know the story of Robin Hood.

The ballads tell of a bold Robin Hood born and bred in merry Nottinghamshire, in Locksly

town, whose father was a forrester who was excellent with the bow.

Robin grew up, donned his Lincoln green outfit, and took to being an outlaw with deadly accuracy

with the bow and arrow, before winning the heart of the fair maid Marion.

But was this story pure fiction, or does it have a basis in fact?

Let's comb through the evidence and try to come to our own conclusions.

If you want Answers, check out our "Biggest Debated Topics" playlist on the channel.

Now get ready, it's time to ask the question: Was Robin Hood a Real Person?

Robin Hood has his roots in ballads.

For that reason, I will be presenting the rest of this video in ballad form…

In Nottingham there lives a jolly tanner, with a hey, down, down, a down down.

(G, G, F, EF D) Just kidding.

However, it should be noted that the ballads did paint a rather different picture from

the fun-loving, steal from the rich and give to the poor vagabond we know now.

Earlier stories told of a much more generic outlaw, with the giving to the poor aspect

of his character showing up centuries later.

But was there a Robin Hood who inspired the ballads?

Many claim to know the truth behind Robin Hood.

The Sloane manuscripts in the British Museum claim that he lived in 1160 in Lockersley,

while others claim that he was a man from Wakefield who fought in Thomas of Lancaster's

1322 rebellion.

Some believe he was active during the reign of Edward the second, while others hold that

it was while Richard the Lionheart was king.

Still others claim that Robin Hood has no historical basis, and is simply a character

of myth.

Some believe that his green clothes were meant to represent the spring, which was a common

aspect of the ballads, or that they were even meant to refer to the fairies.

And others think he could be a medieval version of the classic trickster of lore.

These folks associate him with characters such as Robin Goodfellow, otherwise known

as Puck.

With so many conflicting theories, it's clear that many, if not all of them, are wrong.

So how can we get to the truth of the matter?

Well, there are a number of records that have been studied and used to speculate as to the

identity of the real Robin Hood, if he did exist.

One way of searching for this man is to look at records of various outlaws from past centuries.

However, one problem with this is that the name "Robert", which would be shortened

to Robin, was a very common name at the time, and Hood was rather common as well, since

it could refer to those who make or wear hoods.

That said, we can look at the stories of men in question, and the circumstances around

them, to determine if they're likely to have inspired the tale, or indeed, been inspired

by it.

The earliest narrative ballads about Robin Hood that have been recovered date to the

late 15th and early 16th centuries.

This would lead one to believe that his exploits took place in and around those times.

However, there are some earlier references to the man, with a poem by Piers Plowman believed

to have been written in the 1370s referencing the Rhymes of Robin Hood.

So it seems it was around long before the ballads that we know about.

As it happens, a number of outlaws in the 13th and 14th century took the names of Robin

Hood and Little John, drawing inspiration from the legendary outlaws.

There are even reports of a real life inspiration for Friar Tuck, who was believed to be Robert

Stafford of Sussex, who was said to have been active in the early 1400s.

However, no clear evidence points to where or even when a real Robin Hood existed.

However, there are reports of men going by a name similar to Robin Hood dating all the

way back to the mid-1200s.

One particularly famous record was of an outlaw named William son of Robert le Fevere, who

was wanted for larceny and the harbouring of thieves.

Sounds an awful lot like a certain someone.

And, the plot thickens, as a later report referred to him as William Robehod.

Put the name and his crimes together, and throw in some archery skills, and we have

what could be the basis for the Robin Hood of Legend.

This William Robehod is one of the closest things historians have to a real life Robin

Hood, but it is believed by many that this Robehod was still based on the legend, rather

than the legend coming from him.

This is because the changing of his name to Robehod could indicate that the clerk who

changed it was himself making a reference to Robin Hood; this would imply that William

Robehod was not the original Robin Hood, but merely one of many outlaws associated with

the legendary name.

It should be noted, however, that some historians believe that the change could simply be an

error in writing the patronymic, and that the clerk simply miswrote William Robert.

If this was the case, it could mean that this William son of Robert did indeed inspire the

many tales of the merry outlaw, with the mistranslated Robehod eventually being turned into the name

Robin Hood.

However, there are several other cases of similar names from that time period, with

some possibly occurring before this; it seems Robin Hood was commonly used by record-keepers

as a name for outlaws.

For this reason, it does seem likely that the legend was relatively well known before

1268.

Unfortunately, it simply isn't possible to determine for certain whether or not Robin

Hood did truly exist.

Due in part to how long ago the events transpired, as well as the inconsistent reporting of the

various ballads and tales, it's difficult to determine when, where, or even if a real

life Robin Hood existed.

That said, I don't know about you, but this is something I'll be keeping an eye on moving

forward.

Maybe in years to come, we'll learn more about this legendary character's origins.

Until next time, I'm Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey with Life's Biggest Questions, wishing you

the best of luck, on your quest for answers.

Perhaps if there's a new discovery, we'll be able to cast more absolute judgments on

the case.

As it stands, however, it's unclear whether the story of Robin Hood is a pure fiction,

or if it was based on a real man, whose records we have yet to discover.

What If There Was No Money And Everything Was Free In The World? - Duration: 7:37.

What if cash suddenly disappeared from our lives and everything was free?

Sounds fine at first, right- like the perfect solution to all our problems?

The class lines between the super-rich and those crippled by extremely low wages would

vanish overnight.

But how would society react to such a turn-around?

Would there be riots at the supermarket?

Would wars cease or rage over diminishing resources?

Or would populations evolve into simpler self-sustainable groups like the American Communes of the 1960s

and the hunter-gatherers of our ancient past?

What is money anyways and why do we need it to help keep society ticking along?

That's what we'll be exploring today, in this episode of the Infographics Show,

What if Everything was Free?

Like most predictions, there are two ways to look at a world without money.

Could humans evolve into a species where goods and services are bartered with utopian good

will?

American Beat poet Allen Ginsberg in the 1950s once wrote, "When can I walk into a supermarket

and buy what I want with my good looks?"

And shortly after, during those heady days of the American 1960s, groups of individuals

did just that and disbanded from common society, forming small sustainable farming communes.

They built their own homes and grew their own vegetables and reared animals.

They had eggs from their own chickens.

They educated their children and lived pretty much the way humans had lived before both

the agricultural and industrial revolution.

Before these scientific revolutions, humans lived in small societies in which food was

obtained by either foraging for wild plants, roots, grubs and insects, or chasing wild

animals with primitive weapons.

This way of life was humanity's first and most successful adaptation to the world around

them, and accounts for 90% of human history.

Of course, today there still remain some hunter gatherer societies in remote areas of the

world, such as the Spinifex people of Western Australia who live in barren, infertile lands.

The Sentinelese people who live in the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean also exist totally

without money.

Areas of Venezuela are home to people who exist totally on wild animals and gathering

with a little horticulture, but no money.

So while we may think a world without money would be a totally bizarre transformation,

it is the way humans have lived for the vast portion of their existence, and some societies

still live this way.

Before money existed, bartering, AKA the exchange of a good or service for another good or service,

was perfectly normal.

Joe gives Frank a bag of apples in exchange for a chick, and their transaction was done.

However, problems started when disputes arose over what items were actually worth, or perhaps

Joe didn't want Frank's chick, but wanted something of equal worth, a duck perhaps.

Commodities thus evolved to stabilize these primitive financial systems.

Commodities are basic items used by practically everyone (tea, salt, cattle etc), so these

were used to set the value of items, becoming the financial vehicle between bartering and

money.

But then there were more problems.

Commodities were difficult to carry around and store, so eventually, around 5000 B.C,

someone had the bright idea to use metal objects as money.

By 700 B.C, the Lydians had invented the coin, and other countries were quick to follow,

by minting their own coins of varying values.

Metal was used because it was durable, and could be easily recycled.

Paper money, meanwhile, dates back to ancient China, about AD 960.

The United States produced her first paper cash on March 10th 1862, with a $5, $10, and

$20 note, and a week later these became legal tender and remain a standard worldwide benchmark

for currency exchange.

Fast forward another 150 or so years, and today we've entered the world of Bitcoin

and electronic currencies.

Money, relatively speaking, in terms of human history, is quite a new thing.

Homo sapiens has existed for around 100,000 years, and the oldest money is only around

3000 years old.

So we've done okay without it for 95% of our existence.

If we wanted to create a world without trade and debt, it would be possible, but it would

not be the type of advanced civilization that most of us are used to.

It would not experience the same kind of economic growth that we see nations experience, but

then again, if sustainable, these smaller self-contained societies who did not use money,

would not be subject to the crippling poverty seen by millions in the failed post agricultural

and industrial worlds where small elites have manipulated commodities at the expense of

the people.

In a world where everything is free, most people would be, by definition, freer.

So let's take a look at what would happen to an advanced postindustrial city if money

disappeared and everything was suddenly free.

Demand would increase for all products if the obstacle of affordability was suddenly

removed from the purchase equation.

With no prices to hold the object, item or services out of reach of those who couldn't

afford it, almost overnight we would experience shortages of these items.

In a world of mass production of products made to appear desirable by clever marketing

and manipulative advertising, we would experience a rush to obtain these items.

Looting and rioting would no doubt occur.

Perhaps once these desirable items were obtained, people would realize what little worth they

actually have in their day to day life.

How many cell phones can you talk on?

How many cars can you drive?

How many items of clothing can you wear at once?

Supplies of free stuff would soon be exhausted as nobody would be willing to work for free

to produce any more of that stuff.

People would wait in lines to receive their free items, and those who were not willing

to wait and were not above using violence to get what they want, would resort to using

force to obtain the items that they either needed or desired.

We would see items simultaneously decreasing in supply, and going to those who were prepared

to use the most force to get them.

The early period of a society where everything was free would be chaotic – imagine a zombie

apocalypse movie to get an idea.

For most people, a day's free time is worth more to them than spending a day in the workplace.

However, some people would still work for free.

Artists would still paint.

Musicians would still produce music, and story-tellers would still tell stories as they have throughout

history.

Carpenters would still make furniture, and naturally curious creative scientists would

still invent solutions to problems.

But with most people not working traditional jobs, this would not only lead to a decrease

in goods, but also in services.

Many medical professionals for example might cease to work leading to a rise in disease,

starvation, malnourishment, infections and other ailments.

Due to the lack of personal incentive, folks for the most part wouldn't produce products

for other people, likely only producing what they need for themselves personally, and for

their immediate social circle.

With individuals focused on their own essential needs, mass marketed products would probably

disappear from the world.

Society as we know it would break up into smaller groups, with each group having members

with certain essential skill sets.

We would revert back to the hunter-gatherer societies from our own ancient history.

Perhaps though, we would lead happier, simpler lives, and have stronger family and social

relationships.

So, how do you think you would get along in a world without money?

Would this all end in anarchy or utopia?

What If USA Was Only 100 People? - Duration: 3:09.

The current US population is 323 million people, but what would the US look like if it were

made up of just 100 people?

For starters, 23 people would be minors under the age of 18, and 15 would be seniors over

the age of 65.

That leaves 62 adults between the ages of 18 and 65.

Of the total population, women would barely outnumber men, with 51 women versus 49 men.

61 people in the United States would be white, 18 hispanic, 13 black, and 6 people would

be asian.

The other 2 would be Native Hawaiian, American Indian, or other.

Every year 1.2 babies would be born, and .8 people would die, giving the United States

a growth rate of .4 people a year.

The average age of a mother giving birth would be 26.4 years old, and if her baby was male

it would be expected to live for 77.7 years, versus 82.2 years if a girl.

There would be 77 religious people in the United States, and 23 agnostic or atheists.

Of the 77 spiritual Americans, 47 would be Christian, with 21 being Catholic, 2 Jewish,

2 Mormon, 1 Muslim, and 4 would be Buddhist, Jehova's Witness, Hindu or another faith.

Only 1 Americans would be either active duty or reserve military, and 6 would be veterans-

that leaves 93 civilians.

Of the 23 Americans under the age of 18, 16 would be enrolled in public school and 7 would

attend private school.

6 Americans would be currently attending college, and 23 would be either retired or disabled.

In a 100 person America, 40 would be obese, which would help make heart disease the number

one killer, eventually killing 23 of them.

The other top killers would be: cancer with 22 deaths, respiratory illnesses with 6 deaths,

and accidents killing 5.

Other causes of death be:

5 people would die because of a stroke, 4 because of Alzheimer's disease, 3 because

of diabetes, 2 because of the flu and pneumonia, 2 due to kidney disease and 2 due to suicide.

In a 100 person America there would be 113 registered guns total, and 42 Americans would

own at least one firearm.

.011 Americans would die every year via firearm, with .007 committing suicide with a gun and

.004 Americans murdered with a gun.

The average income in America would be $59,039, with 10 Americans earning $12,300 or less

a year, 40 earning up to $53,700 a year, another 40 earning up to $157,500 annually, 5 earning

up to $206,600, and the last 5 earning more than $206,600 a year.

1 American in the final five would earn an average of $1.48 million dollars a year, and

would pay 39% of total federal taxes.

"Their life is what was taking them far from God." - Duration: 2:01.

"I want you to get rid of all your Baals,"

"and all of your Ashtoreths."

Now -

Baal was a crop god,

a weather god. Baal was a god of success

in an agrarian culture.

Ashtoreth was a fertility god, she was the goddess of sexuality.

He said, "I want you to go home and look at your success and your sexuality,"

"and I want you to get that straightened out,"

"then, why don't you come back and follow me."

Oh, man.

Canada.

Aren't you guys glad that we don't have to deal with the gods of success and sexuality anymore?

Mmhmm.

He said, "I want you to look at your house."

"You want me to bless your success."

"And I want you to look at your sexuality,"

"and what you call entertainment, and what you call fun,"

"and what you pay to see, and what you click on,"

"and you want me to bless your life?"

"Why don't you get rid of what you're doing at home?"

"Why don't you come back and serve me only?"

Then -

"I will walk with you as your God."

"I haven't come to bless your life, I've come to change it."

"I've come to take it."

It's a God that will never, ever be part of our lives.

He will take all of it, or none of it.

And on that day, people stopped playing church.

And they realized they were frustrated at God

who loved them too much to bless their life.

'Cause their life,

is what was taking them far from God.

He goes, "I can't help you on that journey."

"I'm going to do everything I can to bring you back."

"And this is going to be a hard lesson."

"But if this will awaken you to the type of God I am," he says,

"then brace yourself."

"This is going to be a tough lesson."

WHAT IS BULIMIA NERVOSA? | Video by Psych-Minded - Duration: 3:47.

Welcome back to Psych-Minded.

I'm your host Kalley Marie and today we are going to continue on with the eating disorder

series and talk about Bulimia Nervosa.

Bulimia Nervosa is a life-threatening eating disorder that can affect any demographic of

person, any gender, any class of people, and can be very severe.

The main symptom of Bulimia is uncontrollable eating, followed by a period of essentially

making up for the intake.

So the individual with Bulimia will have a period of time where they feel uncontrollable

in their eating and then eventually either make themselves throw up or use diuretics

and laxatives to help the food exit quicker.

It sounds very uncomfortable to talk about or think about, but for someone with Bulimia,

this a compulsion -- an obsessive thing surrounding food and is deeply rooted in a lot of different

issues.

The behaviors of somebody with Bulimia Nervosa are going to be, typically, revolved around

dieting, weight loss, obsessions and preoccupations with food.

You may notice that they take frequent trips to the bathroom after eating meals or before

meals.

Along with disappearing after meals, you may notice that they skip meals entirely.

Part of someone's Bulimia might be that they're afraid to eat in front of other people.

And so a lot of their eating is secretive.

This can only add to the problem because they feel a sense of shame surrounding their food

intake to begin with, and do it in secret -- only adding to the guilt that they feel.

So socially, Bulimia can be a huge roadblock to leading a normal social life and maintaining

an active social network.

Someone who has Bulimia is going to be constantly worried about what their body looks like,

if they've lost weight, if they're gaining weight -- there's going to be a constant preoccupation

similar to Anorexia or any other eating disorder, where it seemingly overtakes the mind of the

individual.

At a certain point, someone with Bulimia might feel completely out of control, and as though

they are unable to stop these behaviors and these thoughts; which is why it is imperative

to get help with eating disorders, whether through therapy or support groups in order

to help combat some of these negative thoughts and these obsessive behaviors.

Additionally, someone with Bulimia may have bad mood swings due to blood sugar levels

being off.

They may show weight fluctuations, whether losing weight or gaining weight.

And this may happen in a very short period of time.

They may also complain of stomach cramping, of feeling dizzy, or being unable to concentrate.

One of the most damaging symptoms of Bulimia is the damage that it does to one's esophagus,

teeth, and gums.

When you're forcing yourself to throw up, you're forcing your body to do something that

typically isn't always natural.

It's a mechanism the body uses for a specific purpose and certainly not to get rid of nutrients

that the body needs.

So when you're forcing yourself to do those things, it can cause a lot of damage to one's

throat and to the teeth.

This is due to the stomach acid that is regurgitated and can hit the gum line and start to erode

and decay the teeth of someone with Bulimia.

Additionally, the stomach problems from taking diuretics or laxatives can be absolutely detrimental

and cause severe pain and serious medical problems.

If you're struggling with Bulimia or an eating disorder or you're not sure, please visit

the National Eating Disorders Association.

I'll leave a link in the description below.

And if you have any questions for me, or any other thoughts on Bulimia Nervosa or eating

disorder in general, please drop a comment and let me know.

And if you haven't yet, please subscribe.

I'll be doing more videos on eating disorders in the near future, so you'll want to know

when those are out.

The 3 Day Jesus Was Dead | Where Did Jesus Go When He Died? - Duration: 6:33.

(ambient music)

(upbeat music)

- Welcome back to the Straight Truth podcast.

I'm your host Josh Philpot

and we're glad you've joined us today.

As always, I'm joined by Richard Caldwell,

the pastor of Founders Baptist Church.

Our special guest today is Dr. Nicolas Ellen,

a senior professor at the College of Biblical Studies

and also pastor at Community of Faith Bible Church.

As always, please leave a comment for us

in the comment section, and do us a favor

and please go to the iTunes podcast section

and leave us a review.

One question we often get, and I'm sure you pastors get

with your congrugence is, this intermediary place

between death and Christ's return.

And I'm thinking in particular about

when Christ himself dies,

he rises from the dead in three days.

Where does he go in that intermediary time period?

And then also for Christians who die today

and Christ has yet to return, this intermediary state,

where do Christians go, where do Christ go?

- Well, on the day he was dying, he had a thief next to him

to whom he gave a promise.

You find that promise in Luke Chapter 23 Verse 43.

Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you,

today you will be with me in paradise.

So he says to the believing thief on the cross,

today you'll be with me.

Today, you'll be with me in paradise.

The debate centers on where it was, paradise.

And so some have taught that in Old Testament times,

part of the resurrection and extension of Christ,

the abode of the dead, was made up of two compartments.

On on side you had a place of darkness,

where unbelievers were assigned.

The other place, Abraham's Bosom,

they would say, was paradise.

So someone who died in faith would descend into Hades,

into Sheol, and they would be in this place,

sort of a holding tank, I guess you could say,

a spiritual holding tank.

What's interesting about that is,

there are two other places the New Testament,

or paradise, is mentioned.

In both cases, it's in the very presence of God in heaven.

So, for example, said in Corinthians 12, Paul says,

I know a man in Christ who 14 years ago

was caught up to the third heaven.

Caught up to the third heaven - whether in the body

or out of the body I do not know, God knows.

And I know that this man was caught up into paradise -

whether in the body or out of the body I do not know,

and he goes on.

So paradise, for Paul, was the third heaven.

Paradise was up, in the presence of God.

In Revelation 2:7, this is the other place

we find paradise in the New Testament.

He who has an ear, let him hear

what the Spirit says to the churches.

To the one who conquers

I will grant to eat of the tree of life,

which is in the paradise of God.

So the very presence of God in heaven.

So what about those Old Testament sayings?

I think about Enoch, who walked with God and then was not.

Well, if you look at Hebrews Chapter 11 Verse 5, it says,

by faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death,

and he was not found, because God had taken him.

So Enoch, the language of Hebrews 11, he's taken up.

And I think about Elijah, who is caught up in a chariot,

into the heavens, he's caught up.

And then I think about the transfiguration of Christ,

where he's meeting with Moses and Elijah,

he's talking to Moses and Elijah.

Well, Moses died a natural death.

Elijah was caught up.

And so where was Elijah?

In the very presence of God.

Where's Moses at?

In the same place where Elijah is.

So I don't think you can make a case, my view,

that there was this holding tank concept.

Paradise is the very presence of God, it's in heaven.

That's where the Old Testament Saints went,

on the promise of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection,

which he accomplished.

So they were saved in view of what Christ would do.

And now that Christ has accomplished that,

where do believers go?

Right at the presence of God.

To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord.

This is the language said in Corinthians Chapter 5.

So we're in this earthly house,

awaiting a day of future resurrection,

where we'll have a new body that matches the new us.

When this body expires,

we are glorified spirits in the presence of God.

Comfortable there, at home there.

Paul says when he was caught up in the third heaven,

he didn't know whether he was in the body

or out of the body.

So a place where we're at home,

we're still awaiting a future resurrection

where we'll have the new body that matches the new us.

So paradise was in heaven,

this is where the thief on the cross went,

this is where Jesus went, and this is where we go,

between the time of our physical death

and our future resurrection.

- Dr. Ellen, would you like to add?

- I just think Revelation 6 talks about that,

where John is sharing one of his visions,

and he's seeing those who had been slain in the past.

And they are in the presence of God, saying,

how long, O Lord?

I think that's just another example of

to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

'What Was I Thinking?' Says Ohio Mom-of-2 Who Robbed Porches in Broad Daylight - Breaking News - Duration: 7:24.

 A former stay-at-home mom from Mason, Ohio, continues to speak out after making national headlines for a two-day crime spree last year in which she stole packages off the porches of 12 area houses

 First was Melissa Bergman's apology on Facebook last month, about two weeks after she was reportedly found guilty of the 12 misdemeanor theft charges and ordered to serve 30 days in jail

 In that lengthy June 27 social media post, and in subsequent news interviews, the 30-year-old Bergman has alternately tried to explain actions and her background

 But the bottom line, she said, is that she now knows what she did was wrong and is sorry — even if, at the time of the thefts in July 2017, she isn't sure what was going through her mind

 "I'm looking back, and I'm like, 'What was I thinking?' " she told local TV station WLWT in an interview published on June 28

"At this time, my head wasn't in the right place. I wasn't thinking and I made the wrong decision

"  At her theft trial Bergman pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, according to the , and two psychologists testified

 However, the court found her mental illness "did not prevent her from knowing the wrongfulness of her actions

"  Her illness was not further specified in the report. (PEOPLE's efforts to reach her and her attorney as well as prosecutors were not immediately successful

)  In her Facebook apology last month, Bergman wrote that she committed the thefts not long after a suicide attempt and psychiatric stay but was not on drugs at the time

 "I given multiple medications but in no way am I saying this is the cause to why I did what I did," she wrote

"To be honest, I don't know why I did this terrible thing. I wasn't needing the items or needing money

"  Bergman apologized for her behavior and asked for forgiveness.  While she told local station WXIX, also on June 28, that she helped police match some of the stolen packages to their original owners, multiple people said they never got their property back

 Bergman said that, as she gathered more and more packages — sometimes taking them while her kids were in the minivan with her — she thought that she would eventually donate the goods to those in need

 At one point, she said, she took a sleep apnea machine and was so worried that its intended owner would suffer and die without it that she threw it away

 "I feel and felt terrible afterwards and seeing the post a month after the incident, with my photo and what I did, made me feel like the worst person in the world and again I wanted out of this life," Bergman wrote on Facebook in June

"I not only made you all scared, but I lost your trust. I hurt your families and those are things I can never make better

"  "I hope one day I can be forgiven for my past mistakes and completely understand the hatred and hurt in everyone's heart," she wrote

"I was selfish and only cared about myself. Over this past year I have changed to be a better person all around

I am extremely sorry for all the hurt, anger, and fear I have caused in everyone

"  A military veteran who has served in Afghanistan, according to WLWT, Bergman has suggested in interviews that post-traumatic stress disorder or her military service may have played a role in her behavior

 "[One psychologist said], like, 'Melissa, you were doing so much at one time and then it just stopped

So you doing this, gave you that excitement that you once had back in Afghanistan,' " she told WLWT last month

"That's what I'm thinking is the correlation. You got excitement out of this just like you did in Afghanistan, but it was a different type of excitement

"  She has also said the thefts brought "a thrill" that she had been lacking.  "I feel like I had everything that any woman would ever want," she told WLWT

 "I just felt like my life wasn't going anywhere," she told the , a British tabloid, in an interview on Wednesday

 In that same article, Bergman said she had suffered sexual assault in her past and, at the time of the thefts, was dealing with anxiety and depression among other mental health issues

 Months after her arrest in 2017 in the porch thefts, Bergman was charged in a separate case with misuse of a credit card and other counts after allegedly stealing the credit card of a man she met at a local hotel in late October, according to WLWT

 She was ultimately ordered to complete an intervention program for veterans, the station reports

 Since her arrest in the porch-theft case, Bergman's husband has moved to divorce her and she has lost custody of her two children, according to WLWT

She left Mason.  "Next for me is just focusing on myself and trying to get better," she told WXIX

 "I have better self-esteem now, even though people still probably despise me. … I have learned to forgive myself for what I did and God has forgiven me," she said, "and I'm only hoping that other people do

What Was the Latest Trucking Case You Tried? - Duration: 2:12.

The last trucking cases that we tried last year involved a company that had trucks going

between North Carolina, all over the south, southeast, carrying grocery products.

What happened was: this driver then was involved in this wreck with a 17 year old girl, who—he

just changed lanes on top of her and he trapped her car under the edge of his trailer.

And actually she couldn't drive it anymore.

She was stuck and he… he didn't even know that he'd hit her and trapped her and dragged

her eight hundred feet with his trailer in the middle of this… she thinks she's, you

know, the roof is… is crushing the grass and her windshield breaks that.

Her back window breaks and she thinks: I'm gonna be crushed in this car.

And midway through it, she jumped out the passenger door and, yes, she was hurt pretty

badly.

But she thought that she was gonna be killed.

That was a terrible thing.

They tried to blame her, saying that she was in his blind spot what he had overtaken her.

That wasn't true, but we had to go to verdict on that.

And that's how we went to trial.

They'd have been on there two years since that wreck, the guy still worked for them.

He still drove for them.

They were not going to have that committee meeting until they heard what a jury said,

which I was like: wow, how more obvious can it be that this company doesn't care for its

own sake and for society, they only care what a jury is going to do to them, what the jury

really hammers them?

Then they're gonna do something about it.

Neither day trucking companies nor the medical profession more people, in general, they don't

want to police themselves.

They're not doing a good job of that, so since they won't police themselves, that's why we

have to have the photo justice system, the jury trial system, so that we can actually

tell them what we expect as members of the community.

At the MacArthur Law Firm, our job is to fight for you, to make sure you get justice and

reasonable compensation for your injuries.

Luxury Homes by Trevor Jones - "What Was The Significance Of Your Seattle Projects?" - Duration: 1:40.

An Interview With Trevor Jones: Tell Us About The Significance Of The Seattle Projects.

TJonesGroup.com

It was Twin Towers in Seattle Downtown, what we were trying to do was rejuvenate the downtown

area because the traffic is so bad in Seattle.

I could kind of see that people were fed-up with driving into downtown every day.

So, rather than being driving, they would rather be at home in 5 minutes rather than

35 minutes.

So, we started, we built this Twin Tower High Rise which was called the "Concorde" and it

was kind of innovative, because it was the beginning of sort of the "internet and Techy"

era.

So our "logo" for it was "Get Connected".

And it was very successful.

As I said it won the "project of the year award" for the whole United States.

It was a delightful looking building, very well received; it sold out very quickly.

And it actually started a trend because, since then; there's been a lot of buildings been

built downtown.

In Fact Bosa out of Vancouver has just built Twin Towers in Downtown Seattle not far from

our initial project there.
