News Today: How Jesus died: Extremely rare evidence of Roman crucifixion uncovered - Hot News

A lesion on the foot of a 2,000-year-old skeleton discovered in a Roman burial site in northern Italy appears to constitute rare tangible evidence of execution by crucifixion, according to an interdisciplinary team of Italian researchers.
Although broadly attested to in historical writings — including the New Testament — it is only the second known archaeological proof of the particularly cruel form of capital punishment practiced by the Romans against criminals, as well as revolutionaries such as Jesus Christ.
The findings — published in the April 2018 edition of the peer-reviewed journal Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences under the title “A multidisciplinary study of calcaneal trauma in Roman Italy: a possible case of crucifixion?” — are based on new analysis of a skeleton that was discovered in 2007 during a salvage excavation of an isolated tomb.
“In the specific case, despite the poorly preserved conditions, we could demonstrate the presence of signs on the skeleton that indicate a violence similar to crucifixion,” co-author Emanuela Gualdi from the University of Ferrara told the Italian-language paper Estense.
“The importance of the discovery lies in the fact that it is the second case documented in the world,” co-author Ursula Thun Hohenstein told Estense. “Although this brutal type of execution has been perfected and practiced for a long time by the Romans, the difficulties in preserving damaged bones and, subsequently, in interpreting traumas, hinder the recognition of crucifixion victims, making this testimony even more precious,” Thun Hohenstein said.
The only previously discovered archaeological evidence comes from a 1968 Jerusalem excavation performed by Vassilios Tzaferis of tombs from a massive Second Temple Jewish cemetery (2nd century BCE to 70 CE) in the Giv’at HaMivtar neighborhood. Inside a typical rock-hewn tomb of the era, Tzaferis discovered, among other items, several bone receptacles. Inside one ossuary lay the bones from two generations of males, one 20-24 year old, and the other a mere 3 or 4. (Read More)

News Today: Reporter With Access to Michael Cohen Lays Out His Next Line of Attack: No One 'In Trump World' is Sleeping 'Soundly'

"This is a man who knows a lot and a man who feels he’s been hung out to try.” Donald Trump’s former attorney and longtime “fixer” Michael Cohen feels like he’s been “hung out to dry,”  Vanity Fair  reporter Emily Jane Fox noted during a Tuesday morning MSNBC appearance — and he’s using what he knows to hit back at the president and his family. “For ten years Michael Cohen had a window into everything that happened within the Trump organization,” the reporter whose access to the attorney has led to a series on his  tumultuous relationship with Trump  told MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough. “He had a window into what the president was doing in some of his business dealings, what the children were doing in their business dealings. This is a man who knows a lot and a man who feels he’s been hung out to try.” Fox told the assembled panel that she began speaking to Cohen almost exactly a year ago, and in that time, he went from co...

Google internships go virtual with the help of open source

As COVID-19 spread across the world this spring, in-person classes and graduation ceremonies were cancelled. Our soon-to-be interns surely wondered if their summer at Google would be affected. We worked quickly to ensure that our internship program—which we’ve hosted every year since 1999—would still happen, albeit virtually. Since then thousands of interns have joined us from their homes in 43 countries around the world. This is the first year our summer internship program is virtual, but what it means to be an intern at Google hasn’t changed—we want our interns to have fun and make an impact on products that people use every day. Although many aspects of the program remain the same with interns working from home, we had to make some adjustments. Interns won’t have the benefit of working next to experienced Googlers in a traditional office environment, which in turn impacts the kinds of projects they can work on. Rather than cancel or postpone our program, we did what we’ve done ma...

News Today: 'You're Going to Get It, or I'm Going to Die Trying, B*tch': Alex Jones Issues Stunning Threat to Mueller — And Pantomimes Shooting Him

Click here for reuse options! The conspiracy theorist ended a deranged rant about pedophilia by threatening the special counsel. Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones threatened special counsel Robert Mueller during a Monday episode of his InfoWars show, miming a shooting and saying he would "die trying" to take Mueller down. Jones began by making unfounded claims about Mueller and Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of solicitation of a minor for prostitution in 2008. "That's the thing, is like, once it's Mueller, everyone's so scared of Mueller, they'd let Mueller rape kids in front of people, which he did," Jones said. "I mean, Mueller covered up for a decade for Epstein kidnapping kids, flying them on sex planes, some kids as young as seven years old reportedly, with big perverts raping them to frame people." "That's a demon I will take down, or I'll die trying," Jones continued. Jones made repeated shooting g...
