Hola a todos.
Hace un tiempo hice un post de 10 series de Disney, que eran buenas, pero por diversas razones fueron olvidadas por la mayoría.
Hoy le toca a su mayor rival, Cartoon Network.
(Lo cual fue un poco difícil por que Cartoon Network sacó muchas series leyendarias, en especial en sus inicios)
También pondré serie de Hanna-Barbera y Warner Bro. Ya que trabajan codo a codo.
Ahora comencemos.

10. Johnny Bravo (1997)

https://preview.redd.it/qbeca6jdwfuc1.jpg?width=333&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=826c1bcb50d235afdb6f0a60daee2df7e74d03c4
Para empezar, les traeré una serie, que en su momento fue un icono popular a finales de los 90. La trama de la serie es bastante sencilla, Johnny Bravo es un hombre engreído y que piensa que es un regalo del cielo para las mujeres (cuando en realidad es todo lo contrario) y sus desventuras mientras trata de conseguirse una bonita novia. Pero a pesar de su personalidad arrogante, es en realidad un hombre de buen corazón que solo sufre por problemas de autoestima y solo sigue concentos erróneos de la masculinidad. Está serie se hizo popular bastante rápido, pero cuando la serie finalizo también fue rápidamente olvidada, con solo una película, que en realidad no fue muy buena.

9. Class of 3000 (2006)

https://preview.redd.it/wtlq2maixfuc1.jpg?width=185&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=614b2b079de83f130476de6e963016c7ef9b9192
Una serie con mucho ritmo. Un afamado musico de Jazz decide renunciar a su carrera exitosa como músico, y volvió a su antigua escuela de música para impartir clases a un grupo de talentosos niños, enseñándoles a encontrar su propio estilo y que la música se trata de expresarse al mundo y de no usarlos para conseguir fama y fortuna. Aunque está serie fue bastante popular, por desgracia no salió de Estados Unidos (por alguna razón que nunca se explico) y al final termino abruptamente sin muchas penas ni glorias.

8. La Vaca y el Pollito (1997)

https://preview.redd.it/gbuven7wyfuc1.jpg?width=333&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e5fac8a1ce40c7a1d43d4c6870e3d1da7faf483
Está bizarra serie de finales de los 90 creada por David Feiss es otra extraña joya que Cartoon Network nos trajo. La historia habla de la vida diaria de dos hermanos adoptivos (ya que son de especies distintas), Pollito, el hermano mayor que trata de ser genial y es bastante arrogante, y su hermana pequeña Vaca, una vaca muy tierna e infantil que adora a su hermano y solo quiere pasar el mayor tiempo posible con él. Junto a sus padres humanos (que solo se les ve el desde el torso así abajo) y sus amigos, Vaca y Pollito van descubriendo el mundo que les rodea y el significado de muchas cosas del mundo. A pesar de su animación un poco bizarra, debido a la historia y desarrollo de personajes fue una bastante única, la serie fue rápidamente olvidada por muchos debido a que no ocasiono el impacto que muchos querían.

7. Soy la Comadreja (1999)

https://preview.redd.it/30d1zkyr0guc1.jpg?width=679&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64b2805a229bf16b849b15c7ab1e5be4ff1ddde5
Otra serie de David Feiss que al inicio fue una serie de cortos que salían en la anterior serie ya mencionada. La trama nos llevó con Soy la Comadreja (y sí, ese es su verdadero nombre), una Comadreja antropomórfica super talentosa (ya que es bombero, doctor, maestro, niñera, científico, inventor, piloto, soldado, entre muchas otras carreras) que siempre trata de hacer el bien o vivir tranquilamente, por desgracia, también está Jaimico, un babuino que a pesar de tener sus propios talentos (sobre todo en las artesanías y manualidades) está constantemente celoso y es abiertamente hostil con Soy la Comadreja por sus múltiples logros, en varios episodios trata de sofocar, imitar o ignorar los consejos y advertencias de Soy la Comadreja (Aún así son cada uno el amigo más cercano que tienen). También está en el Hombre Rojo (quien también sale en La Vaca y El Pollito) quien en la mayoría de los capítulos en el antagonista principal. A pesar de sus 5 temporadas, la serie no fue valorada en su momento y ha sido olvidada con el tiempo.

6. Mike, Lu y Og (1999)

https://preview.redd.it/glseille4guc1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97ac0cbd03beac806aa2e8d254aa706a0bb04063
Otra serie de finales de los noventa y principios de los 2000 que a sido olvidada. Mike es una niña newyorkina, que en modo de broma, cuando se le pregunto a donde quiere ser enviada como estudiante de intercambio, está dice que quiere ir a una remota isla tropical. Para su mala suerte, es enviada allí mismo, ahora debe de adaptarse en su nuevo entorno con las habitantes de la isla (quienes son descendientes de los viajeros de un barco que naufrago hace mucho tiempo) y les muestra lo que se perdieron del mundo exterior, mientras aprende sobre las costumbre de los nativos con su nuevo amigo Og y su quisquillosa prima Lu. Está serie tocó importantes temas sobre el respeto y ser abiertos hacia otras culturas, pero no duro mucho (ya que solo tuvo 2 temporadas y 26 episodios en total) por lo que fue olvidada por la mayoría.

5. El escuadrón del tiempo (2001)

https://preview.redd.it/0uby6mzx5guc1.jpg?width=340&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a033491a67fb2dd2b86075ac7a60233d00c2b988
Una épica serie de inicios de los 2000. El Oficial Brito Belardo y su robot compañero Lawrence ¨Larry¨ 3000, son oficiales del Escuadrón del Tiempo, una unidad de la ley que trata de restaurar la linea del tiempo que se está desgastando y causando estragos en el tiempo, cambiando muchos hechos históricos que si son demasiado alterados causarían estragos en el futuro. A ellos se les une Otto, un niño huérfano de inicios del siglo 21 que se les une al usar sus grandes conocimientos de historias para ayudarles en su labor. Con sus temas educativos sobre importantes hechos históricos (aúnque algo alterados), la serie se volvió en una especie icono de inicios de siglo, debido a su corta duración (ya que solo tuvo 2 temporadas y 26 episodios divididos en dos segmentos sumando un total de 53 capítulos), pero, por alguna extraña razón la serie fue olvidada (con solo una breve aparición en una de los cortos de Villanos).

4. Robot Jones (2002)

https://i.redd.it/sj80y9gv7guc1.gif
Otra serie de inicios de los 2000, pero con una ambientación de inicios de los 80. Robot Jones, es un robot (lo cual es bastante obvio) que un día es enviado a estudiar a una escuela secundaria con niños normales, para aprender más sobre los humanos. En cada capitulo, Robot Jones se topa con algún dilema o algo que llama su atención, empieza averiguar un poco más sobre el tema y al final hace un análisis final en donde la cuenta sus conclusiones a la audiencia. Está serie realmente tocó temas serios como la pubertad, el racismo y la presión social. Pero el capitulo que me gusto más fue el capitulo en donde se hablo sobre los estereotipos de genero, y que no debe definirnos, ya que se puede ser un chico y disfrutar de la cocina y la costura o una chica y disfrutar de la mecánica y automotriz. Aunque la serie tuvo una duración bastante corta (de tan solo 2 temporadas y 13 capítulos divididos en 27 segmentos) realmente fue buena, y es muy triste que haya sido olvidada por todos.

3. Los Sábados Secretos (2008)

https://preview.redd.it/9tqjswti9guc1.jpg?width=344&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ededab080b2d6e6514565662025def4aed9a3dd
Para los fanáticos de las series de acción, salió está serie de acción y fantasía. Los Sábados son una familia de criptozoologos que viajan alrededor del mundo para proteger a los humanos y los Criptyds (criaturas únicas únicas y raras pero algo peligrosas). La familia está compuesta por el padre, Solomon ¨Doc¨, un científico que creen más en la ciencia que en la magia, su esposa Drew que es todo lo contrario, ya que cree en todo lo místico y mágico, su hijo Zack, que tiene el extraño poder de conectarse con los Cryptids y controlarlos hasta cierto punto y sus mascotas Fantasma Fiskerton, Komodo y Zon. Pero, también está el villano V.V. Argost, un hombre misterioso que trata de usar a los Cryptids para sus malvados planes, mientras intenta conseguir un arma del juicio final, por lo que depende de Los Sábados impedírselo. A pesar de que fue una excelente serie y salió en una época en donde las series de acción estaban en su auge , por desgracia fue olvidada por una extraña razón.

2. Titán Sim-Biónico (2010)

https://preview.redd.it/98v48cedcguc1.jpg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9f32728e2cbda4935f97ae4680be59002a22d8a
Otra serie de acción con un gran potencial. Creada por el maestro de la animación Genndy Tartakovsky, la historia trata sobre dos extraterrestres (la princesa Ilana y su guardián Lance) y su robot guardián Octus, quienes escapan de su planeta tras un golpe de estado y terminan en la Tierra. Intentando pasar lo más desapercibidos posibles, se inscriben en una escuela preparatoria normal y tratan de ser adolescentes normales. Por desgracia, los responsables del golpe de estados descubren su ubicación, y para eliminar a la princesa Ilana, por lo que los tres se unen para forman un increíble robot gigante para defender su nuevo hogar. Está combinación de serie de acción, ciencia ficción y drama adolescente, realmente era una serie con mucho potencial, pero debido a su inesperada cancelación por problemas de licencia, aún existe la posibilidad de que se reanude.

1. Robotboy (2005)

https://preview.redd.it/4wcsb6tkeguc1.jpg?width=189&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19a3f7f1fb8291e660ca4df8e3ef229c458a0414
Y para terminar, está obra de Jan Van Rijsselberge (si es un nombre bastante extraño). La historia va de como un científico crea en mejor robot de todos, que es capaz de hasta emular las emociones humanas, por desgracia, un viejo rival se entera de su existencia y desea apoderarse de él para usarlo para el mal, por lo que el científico se esconde, decide enviar lejos a su creación con su mayor fan, un niño de 10 años llamado Tommy (para que, yo no se). Ahora Tommy junto a sus amigos Gus y Lola tratan de mantener a salvo a Robotboy del Doctor Kamikaze y sus malvados experimentos, mientras le enseñan sobre el bien y el mal y las emociones humanas. A pesar de su trama simple y un poco sin sentido, la serie obtuvo muy buenas criticas, y por alguna extraña razón, fue olvidada.
Y hasta aquí el listado.

Abstract
A chronologically ordered list of conjectures about the theoretical ”home”, of the theoretical “people”, who first theoretically “spoke”, albeit without established script, the unattested re-constructed word: *diéus *ph₂tḗr, hypothetically incorrectly believed to be a word pre-historically common to both the Sanskrit and Latin languages.
List
The following is a list of the proposed PIE homelands, i.e. the home of the theoretical people who first spoke 🗣️ the original “root” 🌱 phonetic name behind the Roman Latin word Deus-Piter (2500A/-545), aka Jupiter, and Indian Sanskrit word Dyaus (द्यौष्) Pita (पितृ) (2300A/-345), i.e. original “DP name”, first noticed as being similar by William Jones (171A/1784), which thus launched the search 🔍 for the “original home” 🏡, of the DP speaking people; an idea first broached by Robert Latham (104A/1851), then named the “proto-homeland” (urheimet) by August Schleicher (102A/1853):

The following is shows two PIE-landers speaking the their reconstructed (*wret- + *ḱóm + *strew-) PIE tongue 👅 language:
https://preview.redd.it/uy08ym8ozztc1.jpg?width=1695&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f10bbadc7911a8c72fd2082ba221de730c61a0e9
The following comes to mind:

“No serious anatomist today would attempt to deduce from a skeleton 💀 the spiritual 🧘🏽‍♀️ aptitudes or achievements of its one-time owner.”
— Gordon Childe (29A/1926), The Aryans: a Study of Indo-European Origins (pg. 163-64) (post)

DNA 🧬 ≠ tongue 👅
Here, as we see, language scholars, over the last two centuries, recently in packs of dozens, e.g. the Jones study (A60/2015) has 23-authors and Gray study (A68/2023) has 33-authors, firstly, have been attempting to use “invented” reverse-history Etymo to argue for the “original home” (typically the one closest to where each author was born); and secondly, have been attempting to align DNA 🧬 evidence to fit the Biblical theme of Noah’s ark landing on the Caucasus mountains, thus “creating” the most beautify people, whence the PIE language source being the tongue 👅 of beautify white 👱🏻‍♂️ Caucasian mountain 🏔️ people, descendent from Japheth, aka the Greek Prometheus and Egyptian Ptah.
The inherent problem, with all of this DNA proves “language” origins, thousands of years before recorded script ideology, is the following:

DNA 🧬 ≠ tongue 👅 of speech 🗣️ made by brain 🧠

While people are born with genetic characteristics, e.g. skin color, hair color, facial shape, etc., they are not born with a DNA-programed tongue. The tongue, correctly, is programmed by the culture one is born into, and the “language“ of cultures can be made to change, not by genetic “mutations” (Chomsky, date), but by neighboring cultural influence, e.g. when Rome conquered the world, everyone was made (require) to speak Latin, the new universal language of the empire, and the old tribal languages atrophied off.
The same was case, we conjecture, when the Egyptians conquered the entire world, which is why we are now reading LunarScript hieroglyph letters, which is what the ABCs are.
Proto Egypt
On 13 Oct A68 (2023), LibbThims made the following diagram, showing that Schleicher proto IE home (ur-heimat) was Egypt:
https://preview.redd.it/1ykwgdpxustc1.jpg?width=1387&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b28a44d79a679be5a7b5503ccc12cf7d0886ac7a
On 3 Nov A68 (2023), Thims posted the following, showing that the mummies, e.g. mummy S.293, the world’s oldest mummy, carbon-dated to 5600A (-3645), are found in Abydos, near to where the tomb U-j number tags, which contained the letter R or Ram head 𓏲 number tag 100, were found:
https://preview.redd.it/ds4ay9qv2ttc1.jpg?width=1639&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa13627987fbe9fbf0b8cfe271892a6e8fe0feca
On 14 Nov A68 (2023), Thims posted the following, showing that the black topped jar, from Naqada, Main cemetery, Tomb 1426, dated to 5800A (-3845), shows the oldest parent character for letter I (∩), the Hathor (Milky Way) cow yoke:
https://preview.redd.it/zi9iwppn2ttc1.jpg?width=1071&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ecc1353931c4dd0da6bf2798a0b9c7e86fae1074
Also showing letter A (𓌹) as the hoe, dated to 5200A (-3245) on the Libyan palette, and the tomb U-j letter R as ram head (𓍢) 100 number tag, all near Abydos, Egypt.
We also note that Naqada, where the oldest letter I is found, is at nome 7, of the nome 1 to 7 branch of the Nile, which is what letter L is based on, shown below, is above the N-bend of the Nile, which is what letter N is based on:
https://preview.redd.it/yw6qyi645ttc1.jpg?width=1562&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=128baf2befb260a65bf31d8cedca344ea28f533c
Therefore, that Abydos, Egypt is the correct “original PROTO [P] source” for the Indian and European languages, for the formerly classified PIE language family, is evidenced by bones carbon dated to 5600A (-3645), buried around all the alphabet letters, dated to 5700A (-3745).
The Abydos, Egyptians, some time between 5700A and 4500A, were thus the original people who first spoke the root phonetics, in the form of: ▽𓂆, behind the the DP name seen in Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit:

Egypto	Greek	Latin	Sanskrit
5700A	2800A	2500A	2300A
▽𓂆	Διας (Zeus) Πατερ (Pater)	Deus-Piter (Jupiter)	Dyaus (द्यौष्) Pita (पितृ)

The Egypto P (𓂆), i.e. the dipole base of new 🌞 as the eye of Ra or Horus, conceptualized as the phoenix 🐦‍🔥, birthed out of the Egypto D (▽), i.e. female delta of letter B (𓇯) or Bet, the stars ✨ of space goddess, is shown below, which also shows the Egypto R (𓍢), the last letter of the names Πατερ (Pater), the vocative singular of πατήρ (patḗr), and Piter (Jupiter), the Latin equivalent, both meaning: father or 𓂆-athe-𓍢:
https://preview.redd.it/jk77m44o0utc1.jpg?width=1281&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8142a3d571b40f5ed1dc2bd130e7426f79bb2f6c
People vs speech
To clarify, that there were humans residing in India and European, during and prior to these dates, is not being questioned; the latest data shows that humans were in Israel 180,000 years ago:

The research, led by a team from Tel Aviv University, excavated remains from Misliya Cave on Mount Carmel, northern Israel. The cave is part of a complex of prehistoric caves along the mountain, which show successive periods of occupation by early human species. The team found part of a fossil human jaw with anatomical features that correspond to the modern human species Homo sapiens, as opposed to other pre-modern humans such as Neanderthals.

https://preview.redd.it/7hvagu8yottc1.jpg?width=1226&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8019fb4f022dd5680fb1d7ef648d0cd250c6d255

The researchers dated teeth from the jaw and flint tools found with the remains, obtaining an average age for the specimens of about 177,000-194,000 years old. Until now, the earliest fossil evidence for Homo sapiens outside Africa was from other sites in Israel, dating up to 130,000 years ago.

What the DP = ▽𓂆 solution shows, however, is that the core words of Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit are of Egypto origin, and that they did NOT derive from some imagined ”phonetics” spoken by a once “unified” IE civilization, as people have gullibly believed now for 240+ years.
The typically lay PIE-ist, however, has a VERY hard time accepting this? Even when the new EAN based model is explained, they “cling” to the old Jones PIE model, holding the view, in their mind, that while the Greeks, Romans, and Indians, may have used letters, that are based on Egyptian hieroglyphs, such as the Egyptian delta ▽ and Egypto P 𓂆, the “reason” the the Greeks, Romans, and Indians have a similar DP term, is because the DP phonetic behind the DP term originated from the PIE name *diéus *ph₂tḗr, and that this phonetic was in the minds of the PIE people, as they conquered the Greeks, Romans, and Indians, in some imagined migration pattern.
This is called Egypto Alphanumerics (EAN) denialism or EgyptoLinguistics denialism (ELD).
The PIE-ist seems to deny the new evidenced way of doing linguistics out of some sort of PIE religious objection?
Egyptian Skin color?
The question of the skin color of the Egyptians, wherein Abydos, Egypt (5700A/-3745) is the newly decoded “home” from where the “proto” language, of the IE languages derives, is a frequently discussed and debated topic.
As Volney told Jefferson:

“To the black 👨🏿‍🦲 and frizzled-haired 👨🏾 Egyptians, we owe our arts, sciences, and even the use of speech 🗣️ itself.”
— Constantin Volney (168A/1787), comment to Thomas Jefferson

From the Black Athena debate:

“Then perhaps, you would like to tell me, that when Herodotus (Histories, §2.104) uses the term: melanchroes (μελαχρινός) [book: here] [images: here], to describe Egyptians, what he means?”
— Guy Rogers (A41/1996), Black Athena debate, Part Four (1:37:30-)

Herodotus, in short, said that Egyptians were χρινός (chronos) people, i.e. those born from cosmos location X (chi), with high melanin (μελα) skin counts, and that they had “woolly hair”. Wiktionary entry on melanin:

From New Latin, from Ancient Greek stem of μέλας (mélas, “black”) +‎ -in.

Note from debate:

Histories, §2.104, said that Colchains ( Κολχίς), a section of the early Greek empire, "are clearly Egyptians" because they "woolly hair" and are "dark-skined" 👨🏾 or melanchroes (μελαχρινός) or μελα (mela-), from: μέλας (mélas), meaning: “black” + -χρινός (-chrinos), meaning: "ethnicity [?]"

The following shows skin-color of Egyptian soldiers from Mesheti tomb (4000A/-2045), located in the 13th nome of Upper Egypt, which is 4-nomes away from Abydos, the 8th nome:
https://preview.redd.it/tdh6g3z88ttc1.jpg?width=1397&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad6ee2f085371d3daa390bc0da158b3c71fa3169
Egyptian priests, however, had shaved heads. Scribes, who ✍️ the script 📜 behind the IE languages, also sometimes has shaved 🪒 heads 👨🏿‍🦲?
Many, however, in defense of their confused Euro-centric ideologies, will debate the meaning of the word melanchroes (μελαχρινός) to no end; for example:

“Not so fast. The key word in the original Greek of the passage is ‘melanchroes’. Contrary to what Afrocentrists claim, it does NOT mean ‘black’, in the sense of belonging to the black race.
For that, Greek authors would have used “aethiops” (etymologically, “burned face”), the term that indisputably referred to Nubians and other peoples in what is today Sub-Saharan Africa. Herodotus does not refer to Egyptians with this term. Furthermore, in the very same passage quoted above, Herodotus implies that Colchians and Egyptians are of the same stock. Colchis is on the shores of the Black Sea, hardly an area inhabited by black people. Melanchroes means simply “dark-skinned,” a term that sometimes the Greeks even applied to themselves and other not-so-dark peoples, such as Syrians.”
— Gabriel Andrade (A65/2020), “Herodotus and Long-Standing Problems in Anthropology”, Apr 27

European Skin color?
In A45 (2000), Stefan Arvidsson, in his PhD dissertation turned book Aryan Idols: Indo-European Mythology as Ideology and Science, based on the Theodore Posche (77A/1878) model of the Aryans as: “white-skinned, blond, blue-eyed 👱🏻‍♂️”, as depicted the original PIE people as follows:
https://preview.redd.it/jvv1nejsgttc1.jpg?width=889&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba158b7181c9aafe993ec7613799f085a1c8b732
Posche argued that light skin 👱🏻‍♂️ was a kind of “albinism” that had begun in damp environments, which is why he picked a “swamp” as the original PIE-land home🏡. He thus conjectured that Rokitno Swamp, Polesia, today called Pripet Swamp, on the boarder between Belarus 🇧🇾 and Ukraine 🇺🇦 , is where the PIE people first spoke the re-constructed name: *diéus *ph₂tḗr.
In A68 (2013), the IndoEuropean sub launched; the following is their banner:
https://preview.redd.it/845utakthwtc1.jpg?width=1943&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=997e48ae3c4ae3bdf709478ec6d5cfb6fd166bb2
Where we see an entire army with horses and chariots, for which recorded history has no record of, all invented from “word reconstructions”?
Discussion
The discussion on questions of skin color, is puerile, first and foremost, and but a case of cultural egoism, i.e. each culture wants to claim to be the first culture that spoke the DP name, yet Egypt is the only culture that has “physical evidence“ of this name usage, defined by its hiero-glyphs.
Quotes

“I am forcefully against the nationalist and racist hypothesis of an original identity between Indo-Germans and Germans and the attempts to place the ‘original home’ on German territory.”
— Sigmund Feist (41A/1914), Indo-Europeans and Germanic People (pg. 1) [13]

Notes

1. Young, as far as I know, just called the language family as “Indo-European”, but did not name a location?

Abstract
The tomb U-j number tags, carbon dated to: 5255A (-3300) or 5300A, show the oldest version of Egyptian number 100, symbol: 𓍢 [V1], which became, over time, letter R, value 100 in Greek:

🐏 » 𓃝 » 💯 » ☀️+𓏲 » 𓍢 » 𓋔 » 𓂅 » 𓂇 » 𓂀 » 𓁛 » 𐤓 » Ρ, ρ » 𐡓 » 𐌓 » R » ר » र » ر

Location
Tomb U-j number tags are presently held at the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.
Meaning
There are about 200 tags, mostly made from ivory, bone, and some form stone, each with a hole drilled in them, and believed to have been attached to things, e.g. wine bottle, by rope, either as a tag 🏷️ or some other purpose, i.e. geared to the after-existence.
100 value tag
The following shows some of the number tags, showing the famous ram horn spiral 🌀 shaped: 𓏲 number 100 tag:

Decoding history
On 10 Feb 137A (1818), Thomas Young (see: ThomasYoung) decoded the following:

𓏲 = 100

On 9 Mar A67 (2022), Libb Thims (see: LibbThims), building on Young, and knowing that rho: ρ, in Greek, was value 100 and matched the shape of Egyptian number 100, decoded the following:

𓏲 » 𐤓‎ » ρ » R

The following shows the Egyptian spiral 100: 𓏲, overlaid on a ram 🐏 about to head butt, overlaid with the early so-called “legged R” an early epigraphic form of the Greek letter rho, shown with a kid drawing the Phoenician letter R as found on the Izbet abecedary:
https://preview.redd.it/2zqig7avc18c1.jpg?width=1168&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e2ce10de6008659e50728449459fc565f7c1c0c
The updated evolution of letter R from number 100 is as follows:

𓃝 or 🐏 » 💯 » 𓏲 » 𓍢 » 𓁛 » 𓂀 » 𐤓 » Ρ, ρ » 𐡓 » 𐌓 » R » ר » र » ر

In more detail, from the letter R section of the letter decoding page:

1. Thomas Young (10 Feb 137A/1818), in his letter to William Bankes, asking him to seek out a specific list of hieroglyphic examples while in Egypt, decoded the spiral 𓏲 character as being equal to 100.
2. Thims (9 Mar A67/2022): discerned, while writing the “Egyptian mathematics” article, then posted: here out that the spiral character 𓏲 of the 100-valued number tags, of Tomb U-j, is the parent character of the Phoenician R and Greek rho, value: 100, namely: 𓏲 » 𐤓‎ » ρ » R in letter evolution; see also: “legged rho”, in Jeffery’s epigraphic table, and odd-looking Attica “red crown rho” (2680A/-725).
3. Thims (17 Aug A67/2022): figured out that 𓏲 = Ram horn; prior to this the spiral ꩜ 100-value character 𓏲, from the tomb U-j number tags, had been decode; in sum, the new view means Ra the sun ☀️ god in ram horn 𓏲 constellation, at spring equinox, in the 2,200-year period know presently as the age of Aries.
4. Skgody (18 Aug A67/2022), working with Thims, determined that 𓏲 is the curl in the eye of Ra 𓂀 symbol.
5. Thims (19 Aug A67/2022) figured out that curl in the red crown 𓋔 [S3] was a battering ram 🐏, a symbol of military power.

Other tags

Dating
The following shows a tomb U-j number tag with the number 6 written on it, dated to -3320 or 5275A or 5300A rounded:
https://preview.redd.it/xpn8c4v2418c1.jpg?width=2937&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1868f2d4c3c3a13fa2d16ec7f984330d87999bd
In A55 (2010), Elise Macarthur, in her “The Conception and Development of the Egyptian Writing System”, cites work (pg. 119) that carbon dates the tomb U-j number tags to 5275A (-3320) exactly or 5300A rounded. This fixes for us the date of the origin of letter R, which is the spiral number 100 tag.
In A56 (2011), David Wengrow, in his “The Invention of Egyptian Writing ✍️“, notes that tomb U-j number tags have dated to 5255A (-3300) or 5300A rounded.
This dates letter R as the ram 𓏲 = number 100 to the year 5300A, or earlier, given that it is a standard number tag by this date.

2013 - Jackson VS AEG Trial Day 81
Judge Yvette Palazuelos ruled that closing arguments and possibly verdict will take place in a much larger courtroom. The trial will move to the same courtroom where jury selection was done in order to accommodate whoever wants to see the proceedings live. The ruling came with the objection of AEG's attorneys who wanted to keep everything in the small courtroom the trial took place in over the last 5 months. During deliberation, the jurors will be partially sequestered. They will have special arrangements for arrival and departure. Jurors will have a room to eat lunch that doesn't require them to mingle with anyone else. Judge said minimum of 3, up to 4 hours for closing for each side. Judge: "After it's done, staff and security will need 1 hour and 1/2 with the jurors prior to the commencement of deliberations"
Court staff gave jurors October calendar, they are to check it and bring back tomorrow.
Allan Metzger Video Deposition
Video deposition of Dr. Allan Metzger resumed. He said he doesn't recall if he treated Michael for insomnia in the 80s, needed to look at records .
He doesn't think Doctors Klein or Hoefflin were present on the HIStory tour. Putnam asked about Dr. Neil Ratner.

Dr. Metzger: "Ratner was an anesthetist from NY. I don't remember how he got involved with Michael. Michael would seek out avenues of sleep helpers, That was another aspect of the secrecy, I never knew what he was doing at times that he wasn't in LA, and probably he did things in LA I don't know or Klein doesn't know"

"Michael had several aliases for confidentiality, one was Omar Arnold, Joe Michaels, there might be others I forgot about", Dr. Metzger said.
Dr. Metzger first met Michael in 1993, treated him for lupus, medical issues, back issues or leg issues. He said he doesn't remember anything particular unusual or remarkable, except helping him sleep.
There were many surgeries related to the injury with fire, Dr. Metzger said.
Karen Faye was the most constant person who was around Michael all the time, Dr. Metzger said. "To me she was the most constant companion"
Michael was mostly vegetarian, except for fish, the doctor testified. "He was adamant about proper nutrition"
I was aware he was given Demerol for procedures in the office, Dr. Metzger said. He said he became concerned because of the pain threshold, knew something needed to be done.

Metzger: "I heard concerns from Karen, Debbie, Hoefflin, Klein, Michael was doctor shopping and took pain medication a normal person didn't...I think I told Michael this pain threshold was not average. I do recall prescribing something in Faye's name, I don't remember what...There was so much anonymity in Michael's world" (This was not around the time of Michael's passing)

Medical record from 8/18/93- Dr. Metzger saw Michael at Century City house for temperature over 100 degrees. He had viral influenza complaint and severe scalp pain and headache. "I remember he was very sick", Dr. Metzger said. Elavil was used for sleep, raise the pain threshold, the doctor said.
Aug 21, 22 and 23 of 1993: no communication from Michael or doctors, Dr. Metzger wrote on chart.
8/24/93: Dr. Metzger said the message was that he was in pain. "I don't know if medication was given to him"
8/25/93: Michael called: sleeping problems, depression, beginning of tour. "He wasn't able to sleep", Metzger said.
8/26 to 8/29/93- no contact. Dr. Metzger said there are several medications that are analgesics but not narcotics.
7/17/95 - seen in the office as an emergency for severe chest and upper back pain, anxiety, shortness of breath. Somewhat tearful at times related to severe pain, the doctor wrote on the chart. There were many times he came in as emergency or at the end of the day, Dr. Metzger said.

Dr. Metzger: His neuro receptors, his brain, would detect a grade 7, 8, 10 when average individual would have 3, 4, 5. Clearly it's a neurochemical issue, but I don't know exactly, he said.

Dr. Metzger said Michael had a documented arrhythmia after he collapsed during the HBO special in NY. "I don't think it was a pain thing, I think it was an exhaustion and dehydration thing"
8/25/96: patient seen/examined for world tour. The doctor said Michael needed a physical for the people in charge of the tour. Sometimes they would want a note, or form, or check list. Medications Michael was taking at the time: Low dose of Xanax (depression and helps sleep), Ambien (sleep only) , Dalmain (very mild sleeping med)
Dr. Metzger said Michael asked him to come on tour & to be in his wedding.
After Michael collapsed during the HBO special, Dr. Metzger went to NYC for 3 or 4 days to be with Michael. He was dehydrated, he had a gastroenteritis (stomach inflammation with diarrhea), Dr. Metzger testified. Dr. Metzger said Michael lost 7 or 8 pounds after each performance, he weighed him to prove he needed to drink more fluids.
7/13/1997: letter from Dr. Christian Stole from Munich with lab data of Omar Arnold from (7/5/97) saying Dr. Metzger talked to professor Peter. I recall the stationary and the letter, but I don't remember professor Peter, Dr. Metzger said. He claimed he never discussed with the German doctors treatment for Michael

Dr. Metzger: "I believe I never gave him Demerol"
Putnam: "Did you prescribe it to him?"
Dr. Metzger: "That's the same thing, no...Demerol is addicting if used in high doses for a period of time, usually used after surgery. People who are in constant pain require Demerol or its cousins. I believe on one occasion I prescribed Vicodin, don't remember"
Percocet: no.

Demerol, the doc recalled. He said he prescribes Demerol in hospital setting. He had 2-3 chronic pain patients on oral Demerol. "It's good for post-operative pain", Dr. Metzger said. Demerol produces sedation, lethargy, could suppress their breathing, could get a rash and dependency.

"I recall Hoefflin trying to get more involved in his care", Dr. Metzger testified.
Dr. Metzger: "Debbie was in constant assistance when Michael was under the care of Dr. Klein. That was the beginning of their relationship"

Dr. Metzger said he didn't have any conversation with Mrs. Jackson about Michael's drug use but he said he recalled discussion with Janet once. Janet was concerned Michael's back was going out too much and be was taking pain meds.
Dr. Metzger never discussed addiction with Michael. He said he expressed he wished Michael didn't use pain medication when he saw Drs. Arnie or Steve.

Dr. Metzger: "I think I heard from Arnie he was also trying to reduce the pain meds, but he just accommodated the situation, I guess"

Dr. Metzger never participated in any intervention to help Michael quit drugs. "He liked painkillers when he was in pain. I saw that with back issues, knee issues, headaches. It worked, he was a big baby, he didn't want any pain"
Dr. Metzger is not aware of Michael seeing a pain specialist, never recommended one.
The doctor was never aware of Michael's use of Propofol. "I was never aware of anyone using that medication other than Murray"
Sept 18, 2002: insurer sent somebody to Dr. Metzger's office to see him draw Michael's blood for a lab test. Michael was taking no meds except MS Contin for severe back pain. "It's a narcotic, cousin of Demerol", the doc explained.

Dr. Metzger: "Over the years, Michael had numerous plastic surgeries, some a, some b, some nasal. I didn't know in advance about the great majority of his nasal surgery"

June 2003: Michael to have anesthesia for collagen injection, pre-op examination by Metzger.

Dr Metzger: "That was the first time to my knowledge that he was given anesthesia for collagen. They must've planned a major amount of collagen"

Dr. Metzger does not recall any other patients needing clearance for collagen injection. Putnam asked if that happens frequently: "Virtually never", Dr. Metzger responded.
Dr. Metzger said he would often ask Michael who was prescribing him drugs. He was secretive about medicine, secretive about procedures, secretive about all that stuff.

Dr. Metzger: "I was worried someone would give something that would mix with something else. He took great joy in making it a surprise to everyone. I don't think he thought it was serious"

The doctor said Michael's knowledge about medications was not really sophisticated. He knew what he wanted done, though.
June 12, 2008: Dr. Metzger said he did not see Michael for 5 years. Michael called. The doc said he sounded alert and when not under stress he takes Tylenol pm for sleep. I was shocked to hear from Michael, that he was in Vegas, Dr. Metzger said. "I don't recall him calling for a prescription, I was really happy to hear from him", the doc said.

Dr. Metzger: "I personally missed him, liked seeing Michael and dealing with him. He was great, a little more boisterous than his normal self, sounded great"

Next time they spoke was Feb 26, 2009. That's when Michael told him about upcoming major events in Europe and London. "I think it was more of an anxiety call, how he was going to deal with all the 30-50 shows", the doc said.
Dr. Metzger: "I think he was fearful because This Is It, he needed to do something he had never done before. He had a lot of pressure from himself, media and people who he was working for. He wanted to redeem Michael, to redeem his image, he felt this was it, and he wanted to go out with a flash. I think he was still terribly hurt about the criminal trial and accusations. He was one of the most recognized names in the world and I think he wanted to stay that way"
The doctor said Michael was excited and scared about This Is It. It was a positive call, an informational call, he remembered. The doctor said they talked about some different maneuvers. I suggested hypnosis, he tried acupuncture years ago and it didn't work. I was really reminding him about the ordeal he was about to face.

Putnam: "When you saw the announcement, what did you think?"
Dr. Metzger: "He looked great! He seemed in good shape"

Metzger said Michael would be in London, maybe he should look for a sleep physiologist there to help him. He said Michael didn't think he needed one.
Michael never mentioned Dr. Murray to Dr. Metzger, never met him until the criminal trial.

Dr. Metzger: "I do remember saying 'we're going to help you find someone to help you sleep during these performances'"

The doctor said Michael had some chronic back pain off and on. There was no discussion about Demerol.
April 18, 2009- Dr. Metzger visited Michael at Carolwood home. "Michael called me, and said he wanted me to come visit him. I was ecstatic! I missed him, wanted to see the kids and how they were growing up, was very close to the children when young", the doc testified. Dr. Metzger said he recalled they let Michael sleep late, began rehearsal at 11/11:30am but worked late and Michael had trouble sleeping afterwards . "He was excited and stressed, it was a huge task", Dr. Metzger said. He was excited to do a great job, excited to come back into the public arena in a good light. The doc said Michael joked about getting older, 49.

Dr. Metzger: "He looked great, he looked trim. You can't say skinny because he was muscular. He was ready to go"

The doctor said he expected Michael to have a profound sleep issue during the tour. We talked about someone in London, he never mentioned he already had someone on board, he explained. Dr. Metzger said he talked to some doctors at Cedars, asked if anyone had recommendation of sleep physician in London. He wanted some intravenous medicine that would put him to sleep, Dr. Metzger testified. "I can't sleep without something special". The doctor alerted him about potential life threatening: he could overdose, allergic reaction in a hotel, could be given wrong medication. It just isn't the right thing to do Dr Metzger told Michael. He said it was a 5-10 minute talk, and he had no concept whether he was successful This was the last time Dr. Metzger saw Michael. He had great fears about responsibility of tour: dehydration, back injury and sleeping.

Dr. Metzger: "I had used the expression 'juice' because Michael would use that, it was a nickname he used for sleeping meds. It was definitely a word he made up years ago. He used the word not often but when things got difficult"

The doc told Michael he was going to find people to help then drove off putting the top of his convertible down. He said the kids loved his car
Putnam read names of several physicians and asked Dr. Metzger if he knew them. "I told you he was a doctor shopper", Dr. Metzger said. The doctor said he purges records after people don't go back for 3, 4 years. He said he never altered Michael's medical records. Dr. Metzger said Dr. Hoefflin wrote a plan, 20, 30, 40 pages long, to help Michael with his nutrition and medication."I think I threw it away"
Dr Metzger said he had a very close relationship with Michael and the children. "Whenever I was with them, I have seen a lot of interaction"

Q: Did he love his children?
A: Immeasurably
Q: His children loved him?
A: Same thing.

He loved his mother greatly, Dr. Metzger said. "I've seen him be generous to strangers, to hospitals, institutions, people on the street; Michael has been generous to me, cordial to my family, a real compassionate human being", the doctor said.

Q: Was he generous to his children?
A: Definitely
Q: Generous to his mother?
A: I think so

​

Dr. Metzger: "Michael was shy, but yet not really shy, I think the shy was an act. Fun to be around most of the time. I know his love and care for humanity. I just viewed him as a very wonderful, special person. I never saw him be demeaning to anybody, always trying to be generous and kind"

Dr. Metzger said he was surprised Dr. Forecast was going along on tour with Michael then Dr Ratner on HIStory tour and yet another doctor on This Is It tour
That concluded video testimony of Dr. Metzger. After the break, Marvin Putnam told the jurors AEG has rested their case.
Jackson Rebuttal Case
LAPD Detective Scott Smith
Jackson direct
Brian Panish did direct examination.
Detective Smith is employed by LAPD. Currently assigned to Robbery Homicide Unit. He has been there for approximately 3 years. He knows Det. Orlando Martinez, within the same department. He has worked on more than 200 homicide investigations. He was working the day Michael died. He was notified to go to UCLA MedicalCenter along with Det. Martinez. Det Smith brought a large binder with him. He said at UCLA he met with Jackson's security team, police officers then went to Carolwood house.

Panish: "At this point, was it a death investigation or homicide?"
Det. Smith: "It was a death investigation"

Det. Smith said about two months later the coroner determined the death was a homicide. He said he served subpoenas to find out a motive. He got together with the District Attorneys office to investigate further.

Det. Smith: "In Dr. Murray's car we found a contract between him and AEG that also had the name of Michael Jackson"

Det. Smith interviewed Kathy Jorrie. He said she had contact with Murray in regards to the contract, may had been responsible for drafting it. Det. Smith had a search warrant from the Coroner's office to enter Dr. Murray's car. "It was going to motive", he said. He said he was looking into Dr. Murray, who was more than a person of interest, he was a suspect in this case.

Det. Smith: "Information that was obtained revealed that Dr. Murray financially was in ruins"

The detective said Dr. Murray's house was about to be foreclosed, he was in rear of child support for multiple children by multiple women.
The detective interviewed Jorrie on Feb. 22, 2001, took notes. Putnam was present. "I believe he was there to see what we had to say"; Panish showed a picture of Kathy Jorrie. Det. Smith recognized her and Putnam for the record. Det. Smith said Jorrie answered most of the questions. Putnam was standing at the back of the room. Panish reads transcript from Jorrie's testimony where she was asked if she told LAPD that Michael was going on a 2 to 3 year world tour.

Panish: "Ms. Jorrie denied making the statement, correct?"
Det. Smith: "She did state that there was going to be a world tour that would last 2 to 3 years"
Det. Smith said he wrote the information down as part of the statement and still has it, brought it to court.
Panish: "Is there a question in your mind that she said that?"
Det. Smith: "No question whatsoever"

Ms Jorrie and Mr Putnam stated this was only the beginning that Michael would go on a world tour that would last 2 to 3 years, Det. Smith wrote. Mr Putnam and Ms. Jorrie said the European tour was just the beginning. Det. Smith typed in the police log. He also typed: "MJ was going to do a world tour that would last 2 to 3 years"; Det. Smith said he takes notes contemporaneously as the interview is being taken. He types the notes once back at the office. Jorrie agreed to meet with the police, Det. Smith said. He said she was very cooperative.
AEG cross
Jessica Bina did cross examination
Det. Smith said he writes down a summary of the interview, not like a court reporter. "I'd imagine some things are missed", he said.

Bina: Do you recall word for word what Ms. Jorrie said?
Det. Smith: I do not.
Bina: Was that in any way relevant to your investigation into Dr. Murray?
Det. Smith: None whatsoever.
Bina: People with financial problems could follow the law?
Det. Smith: Yes

Jackson redirect
Panish, in re-direct, asked if contract between AEG and Murray drew his attention to the figure the doc was going to be paid. Det. said yes.

Panish: You had serious concerns about that contract and Dr. Murray's financial issues?
Det. Smith: Yes.
Panish: You didn't know anything about how much money Ms. Jorrie had been paid by AEG, right, sir?
Det. Smith: No.
Panish: They didn't tell you that, right?
Det. Smith: No, they did not.
Panish: You have no recollection whatsoever of Jorrie or Putnam saying it was a potential world tour?
Det. Smith: No, sir.

AEG recross

Bina, in re-cross: Does it matter to you it was Michael who was paying Dr. Murray?
Det. Smith: No, ma'am
Bina: You were not investigating AEG Live?
Det. Smith: No, ma'am
Bina: It wasn't who was paying, just the amount?
Det. Smith: Definitely the amount

Interview was approximately an hour, Det. Smith said. He said he was given copy of the contract.

Bina: Between you and Ms. Jorrie, who would know the contract better?
Det. Smith: Of course Ms. Jorrie

2013 - Jackson VS AEG Trial Day 68
Katherine Jackson is present in court
Court started this morning with 40 minutes of arguments on William Ackerman's testimony. Ackerman is a defense witness testifying about Michael's finances. Plaintiffs wanted some of his testimony stricken. Plaintiff's attorneys Kevin Boyle and Brian Panish argued that testimony about Jackson's debts is prejudicial and should be stricken. AEG's lawyers Marvin Putnam and Jessica Stebbins Bina countered it was important to this case and how much Michael could have given to his family. "The case law is clear , you can't give what you don't have", Putnam told the judge. Ackerman's opinion is that Michael was in a precarious financial condition due to debts, including a large loan on his share of Sony-ATV catalog. Panish kept asking AEG Live's lawyers to provide a case that allowed them to present evidence about Michael's debts. Stebbins Bina eventually cited one case. That prompted the judge to ask plaintiffs for a case citation if they could find one later. For the time being, Judge Yvette Palazuelos overruled the plaintiff's objections and declined to strike Ackerman's testimony from yesterday
Ackerman and Panish have also been in some tense exchanges, so the judge admonished Ackerman to not argue with Panish. Ackerman has also had to be told by the judge to answer questions with a 'yes' or 'no' several times. She told him to listen to her instructions
William Ackerman Testimony
Jackson cross
Ackerman is back on the stand for cross examination. Brian Panish, attorney for the Jacksons, is doing the questioning
One of the first questions Ackerman was asked was about Michael's life expectancy - the judge blocked the question yesterday. Panish complained that Ackerman had testified about Katherine Jackson's life expectancy, so the judge relented. Ackerman said based on a table used in wrongful death case, Michael's presumed life expectancy was 29 years. Panish asked what was the life expectancy for a 50 year old male based on the table he used to calculate Katherine Jackson's life expectancy.

Ackerman: "According to this table a male of 50 years old would be 29.6 years"

There was a lot of back-and-forth about how much money Ackerman projected Jackson could have given Mrs. Jackson & his kids if he'd lived. His big-ticket number from yesterday was more than $21 million over the next 15 years, but Ackerman said it could have been less. Asked by Panish whether he could say how much Jackson would have given, Ackerman said that was for the jury to decide

Ackerman: "I can't speculate what he'd give for support. I do know he was in a very precarious financial situation at the time he died. He could've been bankrupt within 6 months as far as I know"

Panish asked if after bankruptcy Michael wouldn't have debt left.

Ackerman: "He would not be able to provide support for his mother and children then"

Ackerman said Michael received $6.2 million in advance from AEG. Panish said Michael received $23 million in 6 months in 2009.

Panish: "You can't tell us what support he would be able to provide, right, sir?"
Ackerman: "I think that's for the jury to decide"
Panish: "Did you know Michael gave Mrs. Jackson a $500,000 RV?"
Ackerman: "Yes, it was in my analysis"

Ackerman said there was no record of Michael's amount of donations over the years. Ackerman testifies he saw on documents that he was going to donate the proceeds of the Dangerous tour to charity.

Panish: "Did you see he donated over $60 million to charity?"
"Objection, sustained"

Panish asked at one point whether Ackerman knew of anyone who donated more to charity than Jackson. Bill Gates, the consultant replied. The lawyer then asked Ackerman whether he was familiar with Jackson being in the Guinness Book of World Records for his charitable giving. Ackerman wasn't familiar with that distinction. Panish moved on to other topics.

Panish: "Do you agree Michael was a very generous person?'
Ackerman: 'I absolutely agree with that'

Panish asked if he thought Michael would give the kids everything he thought important. Ackerman responded that Michael wanted his children to be humble
Panish asked about the billings by Ackerman's firm. He said it was reasonable to expect the firm had billed $900k or more at this point. The bill for Ackerman's firm is about $900,000 currently. Panish wrote on a board what other damages expert for AEG charged.
Bill from damages experts for AEG:

• Briggs - $700,000
• Ackerman - $900,000
• Total - $1.6 million

Ackerman doesn't recall being qualified as an expert witness for plaintiffs in a wrongful death case. Panish asked what percentage of his work is in wrongful death cases. "Very small percentage", Ackerman responded. The lawyer asked about Ackerman's experience in wrongful death cases. He'd only worked on "a handful", he said, but never testified in one
Ackerman said he reviewed a lot of trial testimony, but even more depositions in this case
Panish asked Ackerman for amount he used for the chart before he applied the 18% discount rate to bring the final number to present value. Ackerman looked at docs in his binders, said he doesn't have original numbers with him. He said the calculations need to be done in software. Panish showed Ackerman Formuzis analysis and the calculation for personal consumption and professional fees. Formuzis used 7% discount rate. Panish asked if Ackerman used the same rate. "It's an improper rate why would I do that", Ackerman responded
Michael had a $320 million debt against the Sony/ATV catalogue. Ackerman said the highest interest rate was 16.85%. Panish asked Ackerman if he read IRS valued of Sony/ATV catalogue at $700 million. "It would not change my conclusion, no sir", Ackerman explained. Panish said Briggs testified independent appraisal valued at Sony/ATV catalogue at $700 million: $300MM on top of $400MM Michael had in debt. "I'm having a really hard time using that number", Ackerman said.Panish questioned Ackerman on the value of Jackson's share of the Sony-ATV music catalog and an IRS appraisal of its worth at $700 million. Ackerman said he thought there was "strong testimony that conflicts with" the $700 million figure and he had a hard time believing it. At around this point, Ackerman mentioned an estate accounting, which was prohibited by the judge. She struck his answer

Panish: "AEG knew Michael's financial condition when they entered into an agreement with him, didn't they, sir?"
Ackerman: "I don't know that"

Panish asked if Ackerman read Randy Phillips' deposition where he said they were aware of Michael's finances. Panish also asked whether AEG Live knew about Jackson's financial condition. Ackerman said he didn't know and the lawyer pointed to testimony by Randy Phillips that said the company was aware of Michael's debt and knew he needed to work to avert "financial disaster". Panish showed Ackerman numerous passages from depositions. Ackerman read them very deliberately.

Ackerman: "I'm not here for a memory test"

He said that after Panish questioned his recollection of testimony he had read earlier.
Ackerman said MIJAC catalogue was same amount of the debts on it. He said the value is about $ 75 million. "There was no equity in that asset in June 2009", Ackerman said he read in the documents. Ackerman said he did not put a value on the assets Michael had. "Liability exceeded any amount of value of the assets", Ackerman testified
Panish asked if Ackerman read Tom Barrack's testimony that he met with Michael several times to straighten his financial situation. Ackerman said there was some mention of it but doesn't remember the details of the meeting. Panish showed Ackerman several bills from his firm where they researched Colony Capital and Michael's deal.

Ackerman: "Colony Capital came in when Neverland was about to be foreclosed and lent Michael $23 million with a very interest high rate, by the way"
Panish: "But didn't you testify yesterday the loan had no interest?"

Ackerman explained it was high interest loan but he didn't have to pay it

Panish: "He never liquidated his assets, did he sir?"
Ackerman: "He never did"

Panish said Michael didn't want to liquidate his assets, instead he wanted to go back on tour
Ackerman said Michael Jackson signed the contract with AEG to go back on tour. Panish asked about Jackson's contract with AEG Live, and the consultant said he didn't remember who signed it. After a few moments, Ackerman said he believed Michael Jackson signed the agreement. He said he focused "on numbers, not process"
Panish asked where Ackerman researched Colony Capital and Michael's deal. "There's a really interesting tool called the internet, there are a lot of things you can find there", Ackerman responded. Panish asked if Michael decided to go on tour after meeting with Tom Barrack. Ackerman said it appeared that way.

Panish: "Did you do any discount rate of 7, 10 or 15%?"
Ackerman: "No, I did not. I used 18%"
Panish: "Have you prepared calculation of personal consumption for Michael per year?"
Ackerman: "I actually calculated something this morning"

Ackerman said the bars on the graph he showed yesterday include personal consumption. Panish asked if he came up with numbers after speaking with his attorneys yesterday. "Today is typically after yesterday", Ackerman responded. Judge struck the answer

Panish: "Do you know if AEG submitted a $300,000 in expense that had been accrued for the the services of Dr. Murray?"
Ackerman: "I have a vague recollection of seeing this number"

Panish showed documents to Ackerman to refresh his recollection
Panish asked a few questions about the This Is It expenses that Tohme Tohme signed for before the lunch break.
Panish asked if Ackerman knows that Erk did not include the interest rate in his calculations of consumption. He said yes. Ackerman said had Erk included interest, the red bar would go much higher, since most of the expenses are interest

Panish: "Did Mr. Briggs give a number for loss of future earnings for Michael?"
Ackerman said he recalls Briggs saying projections were speculative.
Panish: "Did Mr. Briggs give an opinion on the amount Michael would lose in future earnings?"
Ackerman: "I don't recall"

Panish asked if Briggs said the amount for future earning for Michael would be zero. Ackerman said he doesn't remember Briggs putting a number. "My fundamental understanding is his (Briggs) testimony is that Mr. Erk's calculations were speculative", Ackerman said.
"The reality is that Mr. Jackson could lose money", Ackerman said, pointing that Michael had debts that could offset anything he earned.

Panish: "Did Mr. Briggs put no figure for loss of income for Michael's life?"
Ackerman: "That's correct"
Panish: "And in your opinion is that the children lost $21.5 million in future support?"

Ackerman said that was correct, if you were to believe Michael would continue to give the same support as previous years. "It could be zero support too", Ackerman opined, "He was in a pretty bad financial situation" Panish asked if support could've been zero. "I guess in that situation yes, it could have been zero", Ackerman responded.

Panish: "For $1.6 million, it's your and Briggs' opinion, that Michael's loss of future earning could be zero?"
Ackerman: "That's a possibility"

After the break, Panish didn't immediately ask about the tour expenses budget again. Instead, he asked about Ackerman's projections. Panish asked Ackerman whether his opinion was, based on Jackson's poor financial state, he might not have been able to give his mother and three children any support if he had lived. Ackerman said it was a possibility. Panish made the remark that between Ackerman and Eric Briggs' $1.6 million in fees, they had opinions that Jackson could have left nothing to his mother, children if he had lived. With Ackerman's acknowledgement that was a possibility, Panish sat down
AEG redirect
AEG Live defense attorney Sabrina Strong took over, and asked Ackerman about Jackson's annual spending. He said it averaged about $35 million a year, but fluctuated from $23 on the low end to almost $45 million on the high end. Strong asked whether in 2009, it appeared Jackson had the resources to keep spending like that. The consultant said no. "He dug himself a very deep hole", Ackerman said of Jackson's debts by the time he died. Strong asked Ackerman about a couple deposition pages, at which point the consultant read the testimony into the record. Ackerman was supposed to read the passages to himself, not aloud to the jury. "That's not the way it's supposed to be done", so the judge ended up taking the deposition away from him. 'After you read it, you give it to me", Judge Palazuelos said. "I guess we're going to have to do it the old-fashioned way"
Sabrina Strong did re-direct. She asked the witness if there a difference between consumption and spending. He said no. "I believe I shared multiple data points of how much Mr. Jackson spent in the last 8 years of his life", Ackerman said. Strong showed exhibit with chart Ackerman made regarding Michael's expenses. Ackerman said the bars show what Michael actually spent.

Strong: "Does that include business and personal spending?"

Ackerman said yes, that the bars included interest, business, personal, all that came out of Michael's checkbook, since he was responsible for all. "He dug himself a very deep hole", Ackerman explained, "He was tapped out". Ackerman said there was very strong language in Michael Kane's deposition that Michael was tapped out. "Mr. Barrack was in the frame of mind that Michael didn't have enough income to support his spending and lifestyle", Ackerman testified.

Strong: "Were there other outstanding debts for Mr. Jackson at the time Tohme was holding the $5 million for Michael?"
Ackerman: "Huge"

Ackerman listed Michael's debts:

• Sony/ATV
• Neverland
• Condo
• Hayvenhurst
• MIJAC

Ackerman said on top of that there were creditors debts in the amount of $100 million. "There were just no shortage of people he had to pay", Ackerman explained, "As the debt continued to grow, the interest continued to grow"

Ackerman: "There is a significant issue of doubt whether he (MJ) would be able to continue to provide support. He couldn't get an increase in his $50,000 credit card limit.That's how bad it was"

Ackerman said that Michael's income was from Sony/ATV and MIJAC catalogues. "You lose the asset, you lose the income", Ackerman opined. Strong asked about Jackson's loan on the Sony-ATV catalog. Ackerman said the creditors were extremely well protected. Sony had guaranteed to repay the loan if Jackson defaulted, Ackerman said. "It was one of the most secure pieces of debt I've ever seen" Strong asked about IRS' valuation of Sony catalogue. Ackerman said Briggs' opinion was that that asset was not that valuable. Ackerman said Briggs did valuation of Sony/ATV catalogue for tax return purposed on behalf of Michael's Estate. Ackerman said the Sony/ATV catalogue debt interest was 7%. This was the majority of the debt Michael had. Ackerman explained the Sony/ATV loan was very unique in many ways. He said it was collateralized by the catalogue itself. He also said there was a bankruptcy remote trust attached to the catalogue, if asset were to be sold the proceeds would first go to repay debt. On top of that, Ackerman said Sony guaranteed they would pay $300 million in case everything else failed. "It was the most secured loan I've ever seen", Ackerman said, "It caused the interest rate to go way down"
Strong asked about the bill Panish said AEG submitted to Michael's Estate that included $300,000 for the cost of Dr. Murray's services. Ackerman read the footnote: "the contract is not signed by Michael and such a signature was a condition precedent to any payment obligation"
Strong then asked whether a $35k a month mortgage - like the one on Hayvenhurst was necessary to live. No, Ackerman said. Strong's questions were meant to rebut questions by Panish about whether Michael had provided his mother the necessities of life, such as housing. The judge stopped Strong from asking her line of questions on this topic, and her questioning concluded soon after that. Regarding necessities to live, Strong asked Ackerman if a mortgage of $35,000 a month is necessary to live. He answered no.

Strong: "Do you believe $111,000 a year in repairs and maintenance necessary to live?"
"Objection, lack of foundation"

Judge sustained
Ackerman said Prince drives a Ford truck. He calculated his car to be a BMW. The expert explained his oversight only benefited the plaintiffs, since he calculated more money for support. Ackerman said Michael would have to have enough income to service all the debts, personnel, creditors and to support the plaintiffs. "I think he'D have significant difficulty in continuing to provide the support", Ackerman opined
Jackson recross
Panish, in re-direct, asked if Barrack testified that, with Colony Capital help, Michael could overcome his debts and he could become a success?

Ackerman: "I don't recall that"

After reviewing Barrack's deposition, Ackerman said "Yes, I think they all thought and hoped the tour would be successful"
Panish took over, and showed Ackerman the budget attached to the document that Michael's manager Tohme signed in 2009. One version that the jury's seen and Ackerman testified about had a footnote on it that $300k set aside for Murray wouldn't be paid because the contract was contingent on Jackson signing it. But the version presented to Tohme on June 28 lacked that footnote.

Panish: "Did you read anything about Michael's relationship with his mother and children?"
Ackerman: "My recollection is it was very loving"
Panish: "Did you read anywhere that Michael denied his mother or children anything?"
Ackerman: "I don't recall that"

Panish asked if Ackerman is here to help the plaintiffs. He said he's here to try to be fair. Ackerman said he came up with a very generous support numbers should the jury decide to award anything. Ackerman said at the end of Michael's life, he had close to $30 million a year in interest, his total overall expenses was in the $30-45 million range.

Panish: "Did you do a calculation for the loss of their father, loss of care, comfort, society, affection?"
Ackerman: "I don't think I'm qualified to calculate that"

Ackerman was excused. Judge broke for afternoon break.
(Outside the presence of the jury, there was a discussion with the attorneys whether plaintiffs have formally rested their case. Panish to tell the judge in the morning. She wants to tell the jury and put it in the record. Defendants have filed a motion for non-suit already. Judge said she won't rule on it right away)
Dr Gordon Hiroshi Sasaki video deposition
Dr. Sasaki graduated from Pomona College in 1964, degree in Bachelor of Arts. He went to Yale University for his medical school, graduated in 1968. Dr. Sasaki served in Vietnam and wore several hats as doctor, including anesthesia and plastic surgery on days off. The doctor talked about his experience, going to medical school at Yale, then going to Vietnam to serve as a doctor
Sasaki performed a few medical procedures on Jackson in the 1990's, including surgery on his scalp to try to repair damage from burns. Jackson's scalp had been burned in 1984 while filming a Pepsi commercial. Sasaki's testimony was taped on 2/7/13. Sasaki performed two scalp surgeries after being introduced to Jackson by Dr. Steven Hoefflin. He also worked with Dr. Klein.

Q: Did you ever provide medical treatment to MJ?
A: Yes, I did

Dr. Sasaki said he did two surgeries on Michael's scalp and 3 on the upper lip for contouring. March 16, 1993 was the first surgery Dr. Sasaki performed on Michael It was to reduce scar on the scalp, the bald spot. Second surgery was on October 31, 1997 for scar revision to reduce the width of the reduced scar on the scal

Dr. Sasaki: "The medical care, which included post operation and pain management, were taken out of my hands willingly"

Dr. Sasaki said the care was placed into two other doctors that Mr. Jackson thought would be the best. Dr. Sasaki said the other two doctors were Steven Hoefflin and Arnold Klein. At some point Dr. Metzger as well, he said.

Dr. Sasaki on how he met MJ: "I received a phone call from Dr. Steven Hoefflin, a plastic surgeon"

Dr. Sasaki said he was asked to assist him in providing different alternatives to take care of the bald spot on his scalp. The consultation with Michael and Dr. Hoefflin was set up, Dr. Sasazi said. Dr. Hoefflin is a well known plastic surgeon in Los Angeles. The surgery in 1993 lasted about half an hour. Dr. Sasazi explained he put a metal on a side of the defect and a metal on the other side. He then put stitches going from one side of the metal to the other, crank it to put the sides together. Dr. Sasaki said the method results in about 30% more skin from stretching. He then put ballon in the scalp to stretch further to cover scar. Dr. Hoefflin was his first assistant in the surgery. Dr. Sasaki said he knew generically that in 1988 Michael had a burn in his scalp. He said he understands the burn happened during a Pepsi commercial and it had healed, but Michael wanted to reduce the scar. The scar was in the middle part of the scalp, Dr. Sasaki said
Sasaki was invited twice to Neverland Ranch after the procedures, once with his family when Jackson wasn't there. The second Neverland trip was a house call to check on his wound after a medical procedure.

Dr. Sasaki: "He was kind enough to invite myself and my family to Neverland. We went up there, he was not there, but he was not supposed to be there. The staff served us lunch and showed us around"

Dr. Sasaki said he visited Neverland Ranch twice, once with his family and once at Michael's request

Dr. Sasaki: "I think he just wanted to have me look at his wound, which was healing quite well. More than talking about him, we talked about the Bible"

He said he was there for medical purposes, though, The visits may have been 5 years apart
Sasaki recalled that he was told that Jackson had a low pain tolerance, and that Hoefflin would take care of managing it. The doctor said that was unusual, since he usually saw patients throughout their recovery process. He said sometimes docs want to keep control of their celebrity patients, but noted he was just speculating that's what was happening with Michael. Dr. Sasaki prepared a summary of all the treatments of Michael on 2/7/13. He wrote Dr. Hoefflin told him Michael had a low threshold to pain. Dr. Hoefflin strongly suggested he managed the pain medications since he knew the patient better. Dr. Sasaki said that with celebrities, when he doesn't get to see patients frequently, he prefers not to treat them.

Q: Did you provide any post operation pain care?
A: None
Q: Was that unusual?
A: It's highly unusual

Dr. Sasaki said if he doesn't see the patient regularly he prefers not to give pain medication. He said he never talked to Michael about the pain treatment.

Dr. Sasaki: "I think when you're dealing with high profile clients, some doctors prefer to keep it under control"

Dr. Sasaki said he did the surgery but didn't see the patient until 2-3 months later, which is highly unusual

Q: Did you prescribe any medication to Michael?
A: No

Dr. Sasaki said normally a patient who undergoes that kind of surgery has pain lasting for 6 weeks
In July 1993, Sasaki said he spoke to Klein, who suggested that he prescribe Jackson Percocet to deal with his pain. Sasaki's notes indicated that he suggested Jackson see a pain management specialist. The doctor said he grew uncomfortable prescribing Percocet after Jackson requested the medicine 3 times between July-Aug. 1993. Each time Sasaki said he gave the singer 45 pills but he was concerned about the frequency of the requests. Sasaki said Klein told him that he would take care of Jackson's pain needs. On 8/15/93, the doctor saw Jackson again. This time, Sasaki said he gave Jackson Demerol because the singer complained of serious pain. The doctor said it was the only time he ever gave anyone Demerol because the drug can start to alter a patient's lifestyle. Sasaki said at the time, Dr. Klein told him that he was concerned about Jackson's performance on a world tour. The last time Sasaki treated Jackson was in 1998 and he never saw him again after that.
Dr. Sasaki testified from his record that on 6/30/93 he had the first post-op follow up at the Dr. Klein's office. He said Michael was experiencing pain due to his work and rehearsals. He had to wear a hairpiece to camouflage the scar. Dr. Sasaki said he told Debbie Rowe that the area should be exposed to air as much as possible to heal. On 7/3/93, Dr. Sasaki prescribed Percocet for Michael. It was the first time he prescribed pain medication to him. Dr. Sasaki said he spoke with Dr. Klein and that Klein suggested Percocet. On 7/20/93, there was another request for Percocet, due to strenuous rehearsals, prescribed with the knowledge of Dr. Klein. On 8/10/93, Dr Sasaki received a phone call from Dr. Klein that MJ was experiencing extreme pain. Doctor said pain was normal 4-6 weeks after surgery due to the nerves growing back Dr. Sasaki suggested to Dr. Klein that Michael be seen by a pain management specialist. "I was concerned about pain patterns and his use of Percocet", Dr. Sasaki testified.

Q: Was he taking too much?
A: Yes
Q: Where you the only person prescribing Percocet to Michael?
A: I don't know

Dr. Sasaki said he prescribed 45 tablets of Percocet each time. Dr. Sasaki told Dr. Klein and Michael that he would no longer prescribe Percocet to him since he was asking for too much. Percocet prescription, 45 tablets each time, were prescribed on: July 3, July 20 and Aug 10, 1993.

Q: Was that very frequent?
A: Frequent

On 8/15/93, Dr. Sasaki said he saw patient, with Debbie Rowe. He was complaining of pain in the scar area, area had healed completely. Dr. Sasaki said he injected site with pain reliever, gave Demerol 100 mg, suggested Michael see pain specialist. 8/15/93: Dr. Sasaki prescribed Demerol to Michael under Omar Arnold. This was the first and last time Dr. Sasaki gave Demerol to Michael, he said. Dr. Sasaki explained Demerol is for acute pain, not chronic pain, following major surgery.

Q: About how often do you prescribe Demerol?
A: None. Because I don't do that kind of surgery that requires that kind of pain medication

Dr. Sasaki said Michael was the only patient he injected with Demerol
He testified he is not familiar with Michael's announcement in 1993 about being dependent on prescription medication. "I'm totally ignorant regarding that", Dr. Sasaki said
May 1998 was last time Dr. Sasaki saw and spoke with Michael. He knew doctors Hoefflin, Klein and Metzger treated him back then. That ended the video deposition
