102. Heribert Illig
     Heribert Illig Heribert Illig (born 1947) is a German historian and the leading proponent of the so-called "phantom time hypothesis" which asserts that the Dark Ages did not exist and that the approximately 300 years between 614 and 911 are an invention. Illig was born in Vohenstrauß, Germany. The basis of Illig's claims is the paucity of archaeological evidence that can be securely dated to this period; perceived inadequacies of radiometric and dendrochronological methods of dating this period, and the over-reliance of medieval historians on written sources. One consequence of Illig's hypothesis is that Charlemagne never existed but is

The first island in the Vanuatu group discovered by Europeans was Espiritu Santo, when in 1606 the Portuguese explorer, Pedro Fernandez De Quiros, spied what he thought was a southern continent.

Independence, too, was in a sense a gift of the British because it came without a struggle. The British determined a timetable for withdrawal before local groups had organized an effective nationalist movement. Uganda's political parties emerged in response to impending independence rather than as a means of winning it. In part the result of its fairly smooth

Initially, the FCA was used to fight defense contractor fraud, but it was soon applied to other areas of government spending, including Medicare and Medicaid. The qui tam provisions' growing application to medical fraud reflects their effectiveness. In 1988, medical fraud recoveries, using the qui tam provisions, totaled a mere 1 percent of the total qui tam recoveries--the majority were defense related. By 1993, that total had grown to 46 percent and has remained over one third of total qui tam recoveries ever since. This paper examines the qui tam
