Pat Southwell grew up in the Box Hill area and completed his technical education at Box Hill Institute of TAFE. He worked in his family electrical contracting business, Southwell Electrics from 1999 to 2006, where he completed his apprenticeship. When his father took the business interstate, he spent a short period of time (from 2006 to 2007), doing electrical contracting work for the Electricians Now business. And after that, he worked for a business called Prime Electrical and Data for around 12 months (until the end of 2007) doing contracting work on large commercial and high-rise developments. The impact of the GFC led this business to downsize and Mr Southwell was made redundant, on a “last on-first off” basis. Tired of the changes he had been going through, he decided to start his own business – to give him stability and the opportunity to make more money. Thus, …show more content…
Now with a young family, the prospect of more money, and more “certainty” was attractive to him, so he took it. Mr Southwell worked with Neto for around 18 months. However, that company was caught economically, in the deflation of SSTC prices; it went into liquidation and obviously, Mr Southwell had to move on. He needed to find work for financial reasons and quickly took a job with Great Solar Solutions where he had a Victorian based Installation Management role. He makes the point that he felt this business was the leading the race to the bottom in this market and so he decided to leave it by late 2012. In the event, the business finally went broke during 2013. He did some contracting work – his first stint at True Value Solar, as well as some interstate contracting, before coming back to Victoria and starting with Solargain PV be in
A well-nourished, well-developed Hispanic female named Anna Garcia standing at 65 inches, 165 pounds and in her late thirties was found dead in her house after her concerned neighbor Doug Greene was suspicions as to why she didn't take her dog out like she did normally, and why the dog was barking constantly for two hours. The police received a call from Greene on August 31st at 9:45 am and arrived at the crime scene at 9:56am.The police found Anna lying face down in the hallway. Authorities observed a pool of blood around her head and some vomit beside her. It was 73 degrees inside Anna’s house, while it was 92 degrees outside. Anna was last seen alive by her former husband, Alex Garcia the night before her death. Investigators measured her rectal temperature, and came to a conclusion that she died at 7:00 am in that same morning. A medical examiner was also called to perform an autopsy to see what really caused Anna's death.
When conducting research for my project, I came across a website that contained a few primary sources regarding the Salem Witch Trials. One of these primary sources was the photo of a legal document explaining the death warrant and reasons for execution of a woman named Bridget Bishop. Bishop was claimed to be a witch in Salem during the year 1692, and the document explaining her significance involving witchcraft resides in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. My thesis for this primary source is that the judge and jury believed they were seeking justice by executing Bishop, a woman whose death was truthfully based on her differences as a person rather than actual crimes she committed.
Ashley Smith was a young girl that was placed in a juvenile detention centre at age 15 for throwing apples at a mail man. Her short sentence quickly extended into a life sentence because of so many infractions within the prison system. Ashley suffered from extreme mental health issues and was place in a psychiatric prison facility, however this facility was shown in the documentary to be corrupt and their actions with Ashley were extremely illegal. Furthermore, Ashley wasn’t given the proper help and treatment that she needed, instead she was physically and verbally abused by guards in the prison, and she ultimately passed away in the prison. Her death is still being debated about whether

He was raised on High Holborn Street in Central Kingston, remaining there until 1955 when he moved to the Waterhouse district. (1) His career took off very slowly, as it did not have a title, never mind an available position, at that time. He began working as a radio technician, or repairman, and by the late 1950’s, had already started experimenting with sound system amplifiers, manipulating the available sounds to ones that sounded native of outer space.

His father was in the navy, and was stationed in a new place every year for his entire childhood. He describes his upbringing as lots of time in the car, traveling to forty-six out of the fifty states. It was great for exposure, but he never ended up making long-term relationships. He learned to be very independent, and this led to his incredible self-discipline. At the age of twelve, his family settled in Prattville, which created a home for him to develop relationships and long-term talents. After working for the gymnastics department of the YMCA and even being a collegiate gymnastics coach, he decided he wanted to have a professional career managing a YMCA for himself. He received the education for it in college and spent years trying to find the right position for him to direct. Because of a low amount of money in the business, they had nobody to make the programs and brochures, and nobody to print them. He took it upon himself, demonstrating his self-discipline, and bought a computer and eventually a copying system. To make this a side-job, he took jobs from businesses around the area. Seeing the success of the business, he bought a small building, and set up a small space for his budding business, which he later entitled Laser Copy. When he met Lori, he finally decided to keep up Laser Copy’s growth and drop his longtime dream of becoming a YMCA director. He wanted to focus on
He found a job as an office boy for two lawyers and later an apprentice as a printer for a local newspaper, “Patriot”. There he learned many useful things like how to use the printing press and typesetting. In 1833, his family moved back to Long Island and there he continued to work for several newspapers. In 1836, at the age of 17, he began his career as teacher but stopped when he turned to journalism as a full-time career. He founded a weekly new...
1988-2000 Starting over with a $100,000 gift from his dad, he started feeding cattle and drilling oil wells using the newly developed “horizontal drilling technology”. In 1990 he moved to Lufkin, Texas where he continued feeding cattle and drilling oil wells. In 1992 he assembled a 36,000 acre drilling block in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana and through 1996, had drilled the five deepest horizontal oil wells in the world. Unfortunately the Louisiana venture was a technical success, but it was a financial failure. None of the five wells ever paid out. In 1993 he married Rita Irene Ambrosia and they still live in Lufkin where he continues to manage his oil and gas properties and invest in cattle futures.
In 1975, Pat Bennett made a life changing decision. His entrepreneurial spirit drove him to leave a stable career and convert his part-time engine reconditioning business into a full-time endeavor. He moved from a shack next to his trailer home to a small hut that he rented for one month. After renting the hut he moved to a stall in a service station. With neither a business name nor a business license, Pat had little control over parts and profit. When the opportunity came to rent a larger space from a garage owner Pat took it. Here his business continued to grow and there was a need for him to hire a helper. Although he was in the business of engine reconditioning, he hired a premed student. Finally in 1977, Pat's business got a name. He incorporated it as Bennett's Machine Shop, Inc. During that same time he moved the business to a rented building that only he occupied.

Before becoming a comedian, he worked for a cell phone company and also appeared on a show called, “All that.” His trademark is wearing Hawaiian shirts and he lives in Whittier with his girlfriend and step son Frankie.

Which of course he made everyone died of laughter.
