"Father Pro was executed without a trial by firing squad on 23 November 1927. Newspaper photographers were invited to extensively document the event, and to make it a warning. His last words, ‘Viva Cristo Rey, Long Live Christ the King!’ rang out all over Mexico. Normal people, even those who had taken no definite stance on the persecutions, saw Father Pro in their newspapers standing resolute, his arms outstretched in the form of a cross, and support for the catholic cause grew overnight. Forty-thousand thronged the streets for the funeral procession, twenty-thousand more crowded the cemetery. No priest was allowed at the gravesite, but Pro’s own father said the commendation. Pro’s cause cried out to heaven and was given a swift answer. The government struggled to quell support for Mexico’s catholic faith, and gradually anticlerical laws were repealed."
This reliquary of Blessed Miguel Pro is in the church of the Holy Family in Mexico City.
the iliveisl sim, Enercity Park, goes away shortly after these pics were taken. it was one of only 100 or so remaining openspace sims.
it had been 3750 prims but when Linden Lab poorly executed their change in policy and pricing and went from $75 to $95 per month and from 3750 prims to 750 prims, this became the most expensive type of land isl
but i promised my residents that Enercity would have a park so kept it until the estate was transferred to the very best residents in all of second life
the park was the closest to a home that Ener Hax had. two sparse fallout shelters would become Ener's homes
one just a bare mattress and cardboard boxes to reduce drafts from broken windows and had and old turret slowly rotating that stood as a silent sentinel to bygone eras when we humans could have taken a lesson from our own avatars and the other a small emergency shelter for the bus stop
the lake in the park was called Butterfly Lake from its shape when viewed from the air and had a swan and ducklings swimming and a nice bench for friends to sit and visit under a weeping willow. near that spot was an old underground shelter to park military vehicles. that spot became an underground skatepark and was connected to the city's catacombs. these catacombs, like in Paris, ran below the city streets
zombies lived in one section near a small graveyard. no one knew why zombies were there, some suspect it was related to the war time bunkers. the manhole cover near the zombies was opened and the catacombs tagged with "i <3 ener hax" and "subQuark sux"
the most favourite spot for Ener Hax was near the bus stop and the 1950's era rotating and steaming coffee billboard (hmm, maybe the chemical smoke from that big coffee cup is to blame for the zombies? after all, the "steam" does drift over the grave yard
the fave spot looked over the smaller lake west of the bus stop and was in view of one of the parks two waterfalls. that spot was made very special because of Mr. Bunny. Ener loved to sit on the ground and just watch Mr. Bunny hop around and doze occasionally. what a cute bunny =) he even had his own carrots planted by Ener
high above the eastern part of the park was the huge zebra striped zeppelin. a bit of a trademark of the iliveisl estate
it was a lovely spot, even had tai chi on the big bunker and a zip line from the water tower
ooh, the water tower! as a surprise gift, DreamWalker scripted the water tower and turned it int a funky hang out spot. there was an abandoned pool inside the tower (???) and place to sit and talk. even a cute ladybug called it home. the water tower's top would slide up and down and also turn invisible. for romance, a moon beam came through the towers top port and could even have its brightness changed
even though the park was outrageously expensive, it was Ener Hax and Mr. Bunnies home and will be sincerely missed

LUBLIN, Poland — LITPOLUKRBRIG moved to the next scenario stage executing ANAKONDA 16 training plan and held Civil-Military Cooperation Operations while affiliated units conducted clearance of buildings and deactivated improvised explosive devices and mines.
Thus, Lithuanian-Polish-Ukrainian Brigade Commander Brigadier General Adam Joks and the Deputy Colonel Volodymyr Yudanov accompanied with Chief S-9 section Major Tomasz Pędzik met a Governor of a fictional province and discussed requirements to recover the part of the country affected by terror. During the long and challenging chat the meeting participants came to a common point of view.
“Such events bring an outstanding opportunity to exercise personal diplomatic standards. We were supposed to carefully listen to the local official, express our readiness to help, but simultaneously be aware of political trades in the area of operation and take into account that we cannot be involved in the political speculation or other, so called, games. We did our best to offer meaningful help to the local population but to be reasonable with available resources,” Colonel Volodymyr Yudanov talked about the CIMIC meeting.
Meanwhile, combined Polish-Ukrainian unit entered the designated area of recovery and secured the area. The soldiers checked out the buildings in order to ensure no adversary followers remain in the town. Demining specialists searched for improvised explosive devices still threating civilians and military patrols.
“The main intent of the crisis-response operation is not just to suppress adversary but also to recover the area and mitigate suffering of the local population. For this reason, we exercised and examined the Multinational Brigade means of securing civilians and cooperation with them. Thus, I want to underline, that ANAKONDA 16 allows us to exercise a wide spectrum of LITPOLUKRBRIG functions and receive easy adaptable to any operation training. Also, it integrates Lithuanian-Polish-Ukrainian Brigade in the global operational environment, establishes mutual trust and understanding between the involved armies,” concluded Brigadier General Adam Joks.
“Анаконда-2016”: ЛИТПОЛУКРБРИГ налагоджує життя цивільного населення в районі проведення операції
Литовсько-Польсько-Українська бригада перейшла до наступного кроку виконання операції за сценарієм навчання “Анаконда-2016”. Зокрема, військовослужбовці провели заходи цивільно-військового співробітництва, зачистили будівлі населеного пукнту та розмінували саморобні вибухові пристрої.
Командир ЛИТПОЛУКРБРИГ бригадний генерал Адам Йокс, його заступник полковник Володимир Юданов разом з начальником секції С-9 майором Томашем Пенджіком провели робочу зустріч з місцевим губернатором під час якої вони обговорили аспекти відновлення регіону, що постраджав від діяльності незаконних збройних формувань. Протягом тривалої розмови учасники дійшли спільної думки.
— Такі навчальні події допомагають нам підготуватися дипломатично вирішувати складні ситуації. Ми уважно вислухали представника місцевої влади, висловили готовність допомагати, але водночас врахували особливості відносин між політичними течіями регіону. Ми не можемо бути втягнутими в якісь політичні конфлікти чи, так звані, ігри. Тому, оцінюючи власні сили і засоби, ми запропонували таку допомогу, яку зможемо надати – не більше, і не менше, — розповів про зустріч в рамках цивільно-військового співробітництва полковник Володимир Юданов.
Тим часом, польсько-український підрозділ прибув у визначений населений пункт і взяв його під охорону. Військові з двох країн перевірили будівлі з метою пересвідчитися, що прихильників ворога в містечку не залишилося. А сапери знешкодили закладені саморобні вибухові пристрої та міни, що загрожували цивільному населенню та військовим патрулям.
— Основне зусилля операцій з підтримки миру не тільки зменшити діяльність сил противника, а й мінімізувати страждання місцевого населення. З цією метою ми перевірили засоби багатонаціональної бригади щодо роботи з цивільним населенням і забезпечення їх безпеки. Також, я хочу наголосити, що “Анаконда-2016” дозволяє нам перевірити роботу широкого спектру сил і засобів ЛИТПОЛУКРБРИГ і отримати підготовку, що легко адаптовується до умов будь-яких майбутніх місій. Також, навчання інтегровує Литовсько-Польсько-Україську бригаду в міжнародне середовище виконання операцій, встановлює засади взаємної довіри і порозуміння між країнами-учасниками, — додав на завершення бригадний генерал Адам Йокс.

Graphic diagrams an experiment, showing that a spider bypasses the incorrect route (which leads to a box with no prey) and climbs a longer path to reach a box containing prey.
In laboratory experiments, Portia spiders are able to execute planned detours to get to their prey. Portia starts out on the tower at the center of this apparatus with a view of two boxes, only one of which contains a potential meal. The spider must descend the tower to a platform surrounded by water and use the correct walkway to reach the prey.

From the museum label: This rapidly executed sketch was sold with the contents of Édouard Manet's studio after his death. Although large areas of the canvas have been left unpainted, Manet is able to suggest with only a few brushstrokes of delicate colours the slight turn of the woman's body and the outline of her dress. Just visible behind the woman is the profile of a second, male, figure.
The woman has been identified as Marguerite de Conflans, whose family was close to Manet's. She posed for him on several occasions.

The instructors play a major role when guiding the recruits to practically execute the theory of the various modules. The quality of instruction will in the end determine the degree of confidence the recruits have in demonstrating acquired skills and knowledge. Parade ground drill is one way to develop the individual soldier and instilling a sense of instinctive obedience. This will result in the future soldiers executing orders diligently and in a professional manner.

The South African Army is offering young South African citizens between the ages of 18 and 22 (the maximum entry requirement for graduates is 26 years) an opportunity to serve in uniform over a two year period through the Military Skills Development System.
During the January 2010 South African Army intake, 2 804 newly selected Military Skills Development System members reported for Basic Military Training at the various South African Army training centres of excellence. 860 Members reported at 3 South African Army Infantry Battalion.
During the intake week, the recruits go through a Current Health Assessment and medical confirmation. Recruits may proceed with Basic Military Training after successfully passing the medical evaluation.
The South African Army consists out of a combat, technical as well as a support mustering.
1 -The combat mustering includes the Infantry, Engineers, Armour, Artillery, Air Defence Artillery and Intelligence.
2 -The technical mustering includes Technical Service, Signals and Ammunition Corps.
3 - The support mustering includes Personnel, Logistics, Catering and Signals.
At 3 South African Army Infantry Battalion, Basic Military Training is presented to recruits who will further their training in the support- and technical mustering after successfully completing Basic Military Training.
During this training, the recruits are exposed to new knowledge and skills in a very well structured and controlled manner to ensure that the purpose of Basic Military Training is achieved. The recruits at 3 South African Army Infantry Battalion have been allocated to five different companies that are involved in Basic Military Training (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Echo and Foxtrot Companies).
The new recruits selected for the Military Skills Development System have no previous military experience and come from different backgrounds and cultures. Training objectives are therefore focussed on instilling basic military skills and fostering a common military culture in which team work is of utmost importance.
The foundation of military discipline, critical soldier skills and competencies are laid during Basic Military Training. Discipline is enforced by the instructors. This contributes to effective teamwork and ensures that training objectives are met.
Basic Military Training forms an important building block in training a soldier. It is high intensity training spanning after hours during the week and weekends. Physical fitness forms an integral and important part of this training with fitness standards being raised incrementally.
During the visit to 3 South African Army Infantry Battalion over the period 21 to 25 February 2010, the recruits were busy with training in field craft, musketry , buddy aid, daily preparations for inspections, drilling as well as water safety.

Men were executed, women bled
Beads and fish changed hands and
Children stayed up late
Uh huh
Colored drums they stretched the night
There's a taxidermist looking for a fight
But now he's gone
Ah yeah, only the stones remain
Girls were decked with flowers and violated while
Boys spat juice from out of their fresh young bulbs
Soldiers crossed their hearts and died and
Pretty girls turned cold inside
But now they're gone
Ah yeah, only the stones remain
Oh they're gone, yeah
Only the stones remain
And the stones have forgotten them
The stones have forgotten them
They break your body and drain the life out of it
It sinks into the soil while the soul flies up into the air above
And when there's no more tears to cry, there's
Nothing left to do but laugh
Stained glass elaborations collapse and candyfloss evaporates, honey
Only the stones remain, here they go
Ah yeah, only the stones remain
Now they're gone
Ah yeah, only the stones remain
Ah yeah, only the stones remain
“They break into your house. They come to kill, burn, execute. They don't spare anyone – the elderly, women, children… They are beasts…”
These are the memories of the Nazi occupation survivors.
And these are the memories of the Russian occupation survivors. The same horrors, the crimes of the same monsters.
80 years ago, millions of Ukrainians fought to defeat Nazism forever. But today, Ukrainians are once again standing up to evil, which reemerged, returned, and wants to destroy us again. It’s an army of a fiend that kills, tortures and wipes peaceful cities and villages off the face of the Earth. This evil is called Russian fascism, or RF for short.
A witness to this is this basement in the village of Yahidne in the Chernihiv region. The ruscists herded all the villagers into it and kept them there for almost a month. All of them. 350 people, all the children of this village, 80 girls and boys, the youngest of whom was a month and a half old. Everyone in the world can understand what Putin's Russia is by imagining themself here, in this basement, among these people, without light, food, water, medicine, and air, in a room with less than a meter per person. They slept seated. They went outside only once. They ate 200 grams of soup a day. The men were stripped naked in the freezing cold to find Ukrainian tattoos. 10 of the hostages died here. It was forbidden to bury them. Another 17 people were killed by the ruscists. In any corner of the world, that’s known by the same word – hell. When entire villages are burned down, when there are mass executions, when people are put against a wall blindfolded to be killed – in any corner of the world, that's known by the same word – Nazism. If that's not Nazism, then what is that?
And everyone on Earth knows history and remembers how to fight Nazism. It’s done with humanity united to oppose Hitler, not with buying oil from him or attending his inauguration.
Yahidne, a village that survived the hell of the RF, is just one example. It's just one village, but it reflects the essence of Putin's vision of the world, his real goals. And his goal is to force underground all those who want to live freely, to force a whole village into the basement, and then another one, and then the whole of Ukraine, and finally, force the whole world into the basement. For the RF, these are just stages of their morbid plan to imprison freedom in a ghetto, in a concentration camp called the "Russian world," and to export Russia's main asset – barbed wire – worldwide, by repeating the same scenario Hitler created 80 years ago: swallowing the lands of others step by step and testing the world’s reaction. And when the reaction is spineless, the Nazis keep going. Appeals, resolutions, and half-sanctions don't stop them. And the only question Putin is concerned about today is: Who's next?
Russia has officially approved a list of states that cannot feel safe and called it a “List of Unfriendly States.” Tellingly, it almost completely coincides with the list of the states of the Anti-Hitler Coalition. Those who defeated Nazism are enemies for modern Russia: the countries of the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and almost fifty states in total. They are free, democratic and independent, which in the modern Kremlin ideology means “dangerous.” And therefore, they are targets.
The world didn't see the threat, the world slept through the revival of Nazism – at 5 a.m. on February 24, 2022. And today, everyone who remembers World War II and has survived to this day is experiencing déjà vu. The Battle of Kyiv, bombing of Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipro, mass graves, blockade of ports, plundering and seizure of grain, tortures, executions, deportation of children, filtration camps, and colonies for captives. Russia has brought pages from textbooks about World War II back into the headlines of the world's media. Russia has brought the terrible past back into the daily news, proving with each new crime that Nazism has revived. Just this time it has a new label: “Made in Russia.”
Recently, our society was moved by a photo of a man at the grave of his grandson who died at war. The father of this man was killed by the Nazis. His grandson's life was taken by the Russian occupiers. This is just one of the millions of examples that put the sign of equality between Nazism and modern Russia.
Today, Hitler's ideas are voiced in Russian. Nazi crimes are committed under the Russian flag. The difference is merely formal. The new Wehrmacht that invaded Ukraine wears a double-headed eagle on its sleeves. Kalibrs and Kinzhals are the new V-weapons, MiGs and Su-aircrafts are the new Luftwaffe, a Z symbol is the new swastika, and Yunarmiya is the new Hitlerjugend. There are dozens of similar parallels and hundreds of similar emulations.
And if the modern Kremlin resembles the Third Reich in everything, its end should be identical, taking place in the new Nuremberg – in the city of The Hague.
And like in 1945 this can only be ensured by a united free world, the world united in Anti-Putin Coalition, the world that can stop Moscow Nazis through actions, not words, and prevent the new evil from spreading to the entire European continent and, subsequently, to the entire world, the world capable of helping Ukraine defeat Russian Nazism, helping itself, and proving its commitment to the words “Never again!”, so that “Never again!” becomes relevant again.
Dear Ukrainians!
The residents of the village of Yahidne were held here for 27 days. On March 30, 2022, the village was liberated from the ruscist invaders. On April 19, it was demined by our military forces. This symbolizes that history is repeating itself, and everyone who came to destroy us will eventually have to flee from Ukrainian land. A part of our territory is still occupied, and some of our people are held in captivity, which means that our battle continues. And today, on the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism, as we commemorate the millions of Ukrainians who fought and gained victory together with other nations, we keep believing and we bring a new day of a new victory closer.
When the expulsion of the Nazis from Ukraine, we read about in the history textbooks, will happen in real life. And the event of the mid-twentieth century will be repeated and become part of the history of the 21st century, the history of our joint victory over Russian evil.
Greetings on the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism in World War II!
Glory to Ukraine!
The Liechtenstein Garden Palace is a Baroque palace at the Fürstengasse in the 9th District of Vienna, Alsergrund . Between the palace, where the Liechtenstein Museum was until the end of 2011, and executed as Belvedere summer palace on the Alserbachstraße is a park. Since early 2012, the Liechtenstein Garden Palace is a place for events. Part of the private art collection of the Prince of Liechtenstein is still in the gallery rooms of the palace. In 2010 was started to call the palace, to avoid future confusion, officially the Garden Palace, since 2013 the city has renovated the Palais Liechtenstein (Stadtpalais) in Vienna's old town and then also equipped with a part of the Liechtenstein art collection.
Building
Design for the Liechtenstein Garden Palace, Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach in 1687/1688
Canaletto: View of Palais Liechtenstein
1687 bought Prince Johann Adam Andreas von Liechtenstein a garden with adjoining meadows of Count Weikhard von Auersperg in the Rossau. In the southern part of the property the prince had built a palace and in the north part he founded a brewery and a manorial, from which developed the suburb Lichtental. For the construction of the palace Johann Adam Andreas organised 1688 a competition, in the inter alia participating, the young Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. Meanwhile, a little functional, " permeable " project was rejected by the prince but, after all, instead he was allowed to built a garden in the Belvedere Alserbachstraße 14, which , however, was canceled in 1872.
The competition was won by Domenico Egidio Rossi, but was replaced in 1692 by Domenico Martinelli. The execution of the stonework had been given the royal Hofsteinmetzmeister (master stonemason) Martin Mitschke. He was delivered by the Masters of Kaisersteinbruch Ambrose Ferrethi , Giovanni Battista Passerini and Martin Trumler large pillars, columns and pedestal made from stone Emperor (Kaiserstein). Begin of the contract was the fourth July 1689 , the total cost was around 50,000 guilders.
For contracts from the years 1693 and 1701 undertook the Salzburg master stonemason John and Joseph Pernegger owner for 4,060 guilders the steps of the great grand staircase from Lienbacher (Adnet = red) to supply marble monolith of 4.65 meters. From the Master Nicolaus Wendlinger from Hallein came the Stiegenbalustraden (stair balustrades) for 1,000 guilders.
A palazzo was built in a mix of city and country in the Roman-style villa. The structure is clear and the construction very blocky with a stressed central risalite, what served the conservative tastes of the Prince very much. According to the procedure of the architectural treatise by Johann Adam Andreas ' father, Karl Eusebius, the palace was designed with three floors and 13 windows axis on the main front and seven windows axis on the lateral front. Together with the stems it forms a courtyard .
Sala terrene of the Palais
1700 the shell was completed. In 1702, the Salzburg master stonemason and Georg Andreas Doppler took over 7,005 guilders for the manufacture of door frame made of white marble of Salzburg, 1708 was the delivery of the fireplaces in marble hall for 1,577 guilders. For the painted decoration was originally the Bolognese Marcantonio Franceschini hired, from him are some of the painted ceilings on the first floor. Since he to slow to the prince, Antonio Belucci was hired from Venice, who envisioned the rest of the floor. The ceiling painting in the Great Hall, the Hercules Hall but got Andrea Pozzo . Pozzo in 1708 confirmed the sum of 7,500 florins which he had received since 1704 for the ceiling fresco in the Marble Hall in installments. As these artists died ( Pozzo) or declined to Italy, the Prince now had no painter left for the ground floor.
After a long search finally Michael Rottmayr was hired for the painting of the ground floor - originally a temporary solution, because the prince was of the opinion that only Italian artist buon gusto d'invenzione had. Since Rottmayr was not involved in the original planning, his paintings not quite fit with the stucco. Rottmayr 1708 confirmed the receipt of 7,500 guilders for his fresco work.
Giovanni Giuliani, who designed the sculptural decoration in the window roofing of the main facade, undertook in 1705 to provide sixteen stone vases of Zogelsdorfer stone. From September 1704 to August 1705 Santino Bussi stuccoed the ground floor of the vault of the hall and received a fee of 1,000 florins and twenty buckets of wine. 1706 Bussi adorned the two staircases, the Marble Hall, the Gallery Hall and the remaining six halls of the main projectile with its stucco work for 2,200 florins and twenty buckets of wine. Giuliani received in 1709 for his Kaminbekrönungen (fireplace crowning) of the great room and the vases 1,128 guilders.

The garden was created in the mind of a classic baroque garden. The vases and statues were carried out according to the plans of Giuseppe Mazza from the local Giovanni Giuliani. In 1820 the garden has been remodeled according to plans of Joseph Kornhäusel in the Classical sense. In the Fürstengasse was opposite the Palais, the Orangerie, built 1700s.
Use as a museum
Already from 1805 to 1938, the palace was housing the family collection of the house of Liechtenstein, which was also open for public viewing, the collection was then transferred to the Principality of Liechtenstein, which remained neutral during the war and was not bombed. In the 1960s and 1970s, the so-called Building Centre was housed in the palace as a tenant, a permanent exhibition for builders of single-family houses and similar buildings. From 26 April 1979 rented the since 1962 housed in the so-called 20er Haus Museum of the 20th Century , a federal museum, the palace as a new main house, the 20er Haus was continued as a branch . Since the start of operations at the Palais, the collection called itself Museum of Modern Art (since 1991 Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation ), the MUMOK in 2001 moved to the newly built museum district.
From 29 March 2004 till the end of 2011 in the Palace was the Liechtenstein Museum, whose collection includes paintings and sculptures from five centuries. The collection is considered one of the largest and most valuable private art collections in the world, whose main base in Vaduz (Liechtenstein) is . As the palace, so too the collection is owned by the Prince of Liechtenstein Foundation .
On 15 November 2011 it was announced that the regular museum operating in the Garden Palace was stopped due to short of original expectations, visiting numbers remaining lower as calculated, with January 2012. The Liechtenstein City Palace museum will also not offer regular operations. Exhibited works of art would then (in the city palace from 2013) only during the "Long Night of the Museums", for registered groups and during leased events being visitable. The name of the Liechtenstein Museum will no longer be used.

Operation Vulcan executed their latest warrant yesterday (3 May 2023) at a property on Great Ducie Street in Cheetham Hill.
The warrant was carried out after intelligence came to light suggesting the property - a large distribution warehouse - was being used to supply a network of counterfeit stores throughout Cheetham Hill.
The number of items seized have an estimated worth of £1.2million pounds.
The enterprise was so vast officers made use of a conveyor belt to speed up the transfer of seized items into waiting vehicles.
Over the last 6 months through relentless policing and support from dedicated partners, Operation Vulcan has turned the tide against the criminals. The support of partners has been integral to Operation Vulcan and that was on full display yesterday (3 May 2023) with over 15 departments, teams, organisations and partner representatives in attendance - including from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, Intellectual Property Office, Trading Standards, Brand Experts and Border Force.
GMFRS also raised concerns about the safety of the building, which led to it being issued it with a prohibition order.
Inspector Andy Torkington said: "The network of counterfeit stores in Cheetham Hill might seem chaotic and disorganised but this is far from the truth. The latest warrant demonstrates that these stores are well funded and well supplied and it's big business for organised crime groups who have been operating out of the area.
"This warrant is an opportunity to make a huge dent in the supply chain by cutting off the head of the supply snake. I hope it sends a message to any remaining counterfeit stores in the area who persist in trading to pack up now or face the consequences.
"Operation Vulcan is here to stay and we will continue making it unsustainable for criminal businesses to exist here and will work shoulder-to-shoulder with our partners to re-build the area into a thriving community where people feel safe.”
Neil Fairlamb, Strategic Director of Neighbourhoods for Manchester City Council said: "The work that has taken place throughout Operation Vulcan has shown the scope and scale of the counterfeit industry. It is huge enterprise, one which has had an incredibly negative impact on our communities. By striking a blow against this criminal supply chain we will succeed in forcing these traders out for good."
The Intellectual Property Office’s Deputy Director of Intelligence and Law Enforcement, Marcus Evans said: The Intellectual Property Office’s Deputy Director of Intelligence and Law Enforcement, Marcus Evans said: “Criminal networks are seeking to exploit consumers and communities for their own financial gain through the trade in illegal counterfeits – with absolutely no regard for the quality or safety of the items being sold, which are often dangerous and defective. Such items can cause genuine harm to the people who buy and use them, as well as those workers often exploited during their production.
“As well as helping to sustain serious and organised crime, the sale of counterfeit goods has been estimated to contribute to over 80,000 job loses each year in the UK by diverting funds away from legitimate traders and into the hands of criminals. We are pleased to support the ongoing activity by Greater Manchester Police to clamp down on this illegal activity and help protect the public, as we continue to work with partners across in industry, local government, and law enforcement to help empower consumers and raise awareness of the damage these goods cause.”
Arbour Hill is an inner city area of Dublin, on the Northside of the River Liffey, in the Dublin 7 postal district. Arbour Hill, the road of the same name, runs west from Blackhall Place in Stoneybatter, and separates Collins Barracks, now part of the National Museum of Ireland, to the south from Arbour Hill Prison to the north, whose graveyard includes the burial plot of the signatories of the Easter Proclamation that began the 1916 Rising.
The military cemetery at Arbour Hill is the last resting place of 14 of the executed leaders of the insurrection of 1916. Among those buried there are Patrick Pearse, James Connolly and Major John Mc Bride. The leaders were executed in Kilmainham and then their bodies were transported to Arbour Hill, where they were buried.
The graves are located under a low mound on a terrace of Wicklow granite in what was once the old prison yard. The gravesite is surrounded by a limestone wall on which their names are inscribed in Irish and English. On the prison wall opposite the gravesite is a plaque with the names of other people who gave their lives in 1916.
The adjoining Church of the Sacred Heart, which is the prison chapel for Arbour Hill prison, is maintained by the Department of Defence. At the rear of the church lies the old cemetery, where lie the remains of British military personnel who died in the Dublin area in the 19th and early 20th century.
A doorway beside the 1916 memorial gives access to the Irish United Nations Veterans Association house and memorial garden.

Immaculately executed. And it should be - this car is also priced well into the millions, just like the Chiron.
... you execute search warrants, arrest warrants, but why do we talk about executing people? Isn't that simply another warrant to be executed ... the death warrant? Are we misusing the word, or has it already mutated to a shortened form? Maybe I just don't know the full definition of "execute." I guess I could look it up.....Naaaaaa...what the hell.

Read this please. Between 1541 and 1650, the official records show that 53 people (men and women) were executed by the Halifax Gibbet.
www.calderdale-online.org/community/life/life12.html
The gibbet law stated that if a person due to be executed on the Gibbet was able to withdraw his head as the blade fell and escape across Hebble Brook, he could be freed.
In 1617 John Lacey famously escaped execution by running beyond the boundary. He became known as the running man and the Running Man public house in Pellon Lane was named after him. Unfortunately for Mr. Lacey the people have long memories and when he returned seven years later he was immediately arrested and taken to the gibbet where this time he did not escape. An apparition of the decapitated Lacey has apparently been seen at the Running Man pub.
After the 17th century the site of the gibbet was lost under a rubbish tip known as Gibbet Hill. In 1869 the land was bought and foundations dug for a warehouse. During the excavations the platform was discovered along with two skeletons and skulls believed to be those of the last two victims, John Wilkinson and Anthony Mitchell , beheaded on 30th April 1650.
In August 1974 a 15ft non-working replica of the Gibbet was reconstructed in Gibbet Street. This includes a casting taken from the original blade.

Commandée en 1683 et exécutée d'après la statue antique de la collection Borghèse -actuellement au département des Antiquités grecques, étrusques et romaines, cette statue a été exposée dans le parc du château de Versailles de 1685 à 1688. Elle appartient à toute une série de copies d'oeuvres d'antiques commandées par le Roi, qui manifeste ainsi son admiration pour l'art antique. Cette statue introduit de nombreuses variations par rapport à l'original.
La Nymphe à la coquille de la collection Borghèse appartient depuis le XVIIe siècle au " musée imaginaire " des antiques célèbres. Jusqu'au XIXe siècle, de nombreuses copies en bronze ou en marbre, des réductions réalisées en porcelaine témoignent de sa faveur auprès du public.
Mais en plus de ses qualités esthétiques, cette sculpture est une œuvre importante dans la mesure où elle constitue un jalon dans la connaissance de la sculpture antique, qui s'élabore au XIXe siècle, notamment grâce aux théories de Winckelmann.
Ainsi, des rapprochements ont été effectués à partir d'œuvres présentant des analogies de composition. Par ces comparaisons critiques, les historiens de l'art cherchaient à retrouver l'art grec originel au-delà des copies hellénistiques ou romaines et des restaurations modernes.

Executed in the early 1630s during a particularly creative period in Molenaer’s career, this painting can be compared with one of a similarly mirthful violinist formerly in the Weldon Collection and sold Sotheby’s, New York, 22 April 2015, lot 1 (fig. 1). Unlike the ex-Weldon painting, the young violinist here pays no heed to the viewer, his upturned eyes conveying his emersion in his music. Such images of musicians making music were a specialty of Haarlem painters in the orbit of Frans Hals, with whom Molenaer studied, and highlight the contemporary Dutch interest in its making.
In Molenaer’s time, the violin would have been relatively new, having first appeared in Italy circa 1500 and would only arrive in the Netherlands around 1600. Enjoyed for its sophistication today, in the seventeenth century the instrument held rather more complicated associations. While contemporary musical theorists held that string instruments were, in general, superior to the flutes, recorders and other wind instruments played by the more uncouth segments of society, the violin tended to be played solo as an accompaniment to song or dance, with the violinist frequently unable to read sheet music. Molenaer may well have intended to convey the boy’s lower social status through an intriguing detail – the manner in which he holds his bow. He uses the French manner, his thumb under the bow’s hair, as opposed to the more sophisticated Italian grip, where the thumb is placed between the bow and hair. While the French manner enabled the musician to play with greater spontaneity, it prevented him from producing more subtle notes.
The boy’s clothing – his foppish feathered hat (traditionally associated with sixteenth-century Northern European mercenaries), brilliant red cloak and the gorget slung awkwardly around his neck – equally add to the comedic aspects of this painting. While artists like Rembrandt often employed military apparel to enhance their images, here Molenaer seems to play with their use, their inclusion deliberately defying their intended function and adding to the painting’s discordant, boisterous atmosphere.
A copy after this painting attributed by Cornelis Hofstede de Groot to Molenaer's wife, Judith Leyster, was offered Sotheby's, Amsterdam, 6 November 2001, lot 4, as Follower of Jan Miense Molenaer.

As confusion reigned in the field and the mounted cops executed a temporary tactical withdrawal, I ran along the other side of the chainlink fence, holding my camera over the top and taking photo after rubbish photo, yelling at the cops to stop, that they were on camera, that I had their numbers, that I had photos of them hitting people. The cop in the foreground stopped what he was doing, turned to me, and gave me the most hate-filled glare I've ever received in my life. I yelled some more, until a huge cop on my side of the fence pretty much lifted me up by the scruff of the neck and pushed me roughly back towards the camp.
Fortunately by this point the cops had realised they were on their own and outnumbered, and withdrew, allowing the rest of the protestors into the field unhindered.

Three people have been arrested after early morning warrants were executed in Manchester.
Earlier this morning (Friday 29 November 2019), officers executed warrants at two addresses in Cheetham Hill and made three arrests in relation to an ongoing firearms investigation.
The action comes after GMP launched a dedicated operation – codenamed Heamus - earlier in the month. The operation is set to tackle a dispute between two local crime groups, following a series of firearms discharges which have taken place since the beginning of September 2019.
Superintendent Rebecca Boyce, of GMP’s City of Manchester division, said: “Following this morning’s direct action, we have three people in custody and I would like to thank those officers who have worked extremely hard as part of this ongoing operation and who are committed to keeping the people of Cheetham Hill safe.
“Whilst we believe that these incidents have been targeted, we understand and appreciate how concerned local residents may be and as a result of this have set up this dedicated operation. We want to reassure those who feel affected that we are doing all that we can and stress that we are treating these incidents as an absolute priority.
“This is a complex investigation, which brings its own challenges and whilst we have made arrests, we are continuing to appeal for the public’s help. We believe that answers lie within the community and would urge anyone with information to get in touch. Whether you want to speak to us directly, or whether you’d prefer to talk to Crimestoppers anonymously, please do so if you think you can assist our enquiries with even the smallest piece of information.
“We will continue to work closely with partners in order to disrupt this kind of activity and I hope that this morning’s action demonstrates that are working hard in order to prevent any further incidents and protect those in our communities.
“This type of criminal behaviour is reckless and dangerous- it will not be tolerated on our streets.”
Anyone with information should call 0161 856 1146, quoting incident number 2348 of 18/11/19. Reports can also be made anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Stained glass window of Longlands (Haworth Youth Hostel), one of series of three showing citrus groves, executed in 1884 by G. Fenton Malins. Circa 1980. A J. Arthur Dixon postcard (A Dickinson Robinson Group Product). The card carries the distinctive triangular YHA logo.
The Haworth Youth Hostel was officially opened on the 8th May 1976 by Councillor J. S. Bell, Chairman of West Yorkshire County Council. It is located on Longlands Drive, off Lees Lane in Cross Roads with Lees, just outside Haworth. The Hostel occupies Longlands Hall, former home of industrialist Edwin Robinson Merrall whose family owned Lees Mill and Ebor Mills in the Worth Valley which the house overlooked. Edwin was the second son of Michael Merrall. It was the last of four houses owned by the Merrall family. The house was designed by Keighley architect J. B. Bailey and was built between 1882 and 1884. The architectural style is Northern Manor House, a mixture of classical and exaggerated Jacobean styles.
It was occupied by the Merralls with their seven children up until the start of the First World War. Following the death of Edwin and his son Philip, it was sold by Mary Merrall on the 16th July 2019. The sale included 25 acres of grounds, a lodge, and a yard well away from the house with washing shed, carriage shed, coach house, harness room, a Dutch barn, the groom's cottage and a petrol store.
The property was bought by a Mr Inglis for personal use in the early 1920s, and then sold to a Mr Paley in 1939, who had plans to turn the house into a hotel. After the war it was sold to textile producers the Heald Brothers for use as a hostel for Italian immigrant mill girls. In the 1960s, housing was built on the surrounding land and the house fell into disrepair. It was sold as a retirement home around this period before the Youth Hostel Association purchased the hall for £23,500 in 1974.
The house had been brought to the attention of the YHA by local policeman Jens Hislop and the house was vested in the YHA on the 18th October 1974. It was bought and developed through a combination of grants from The Countryside Commission, West Yorkshire County Council, and the Department of Education and Science. Although it officially opened in May 1976, the hostel was active from earlier, possibly even late 1975. The first wardens were John and Sue Page and there were 90 beds. Many of the ground floor rooms, including the ballroom and lounge, were converted to staff quarters. Extensive modernisation began in 1994, including adapting some of the ground floor staff rooms into dormitory and guest rooms, and sub-dividing some of the large upstairs dormitories into smaller dormitories. Further redevelopments and improvements followed in 2009 and 2012. In 2020 the hostel boasts 89 beds across two single rooms, two double rooms, one three bedded room, three four bedded rooms, six six bedded rooms, one seven bedded room and three eight bedded rooms.
John Arthur Dixon, whose name is synonymous with a range of postcards from the 1930s onwards, was born at Cross Hills, just outside Keighley, on the 18th June 1897. He was an apprentice printer in his father’s firm, Dixon & Stell, before leaving Yorkshire in his twenties. The J. Arthur Dixon printing company started up in Newport on the Isle of Wight in the 1930s and continued until it was eventually absorbed into the John Hinde group of companies in 1998. Postcards were always a major part of their activities but they also produced Christmas cards, travel guides and other publications.

The Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal (Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, MMFA), at 1380 rue Sherbrooke Ouest, was founded in 1860, making it Canada's oldest art institution. The museum is partitioned into three pavilions: the 1912 Beaux Arts building designed by William Sutherland Maxwell, now named the Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion, focuses specifically on Québécois history; the modernist Jean-Noël Desmarais Pavilion across the street, designed by Moshe Safdie, built in 1991, houses works of art from around the world; and the Liliane and David M. Stewart Pavilion, focused on decorative arts. The museum is also converting the Erskine and American Church, built in 1894, into the Claire and Marc Bourgie Pavilion for Canadian Art, doubling its floor space for Canadian artists.

Its impressive collection of more than 68,000 works includes pieces from around the world including modern and contemporary art, European and American painting and sculpture, and pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial art. The museum was originally founded in 1893 as the Denver Artists Club. In 1918, it moved into galleries in the Denver City and County Building, and became the Denver Art Museum.
In 1971, the museum opened what is now known as the North Building, designed by Italian architect Gio Ponti and Denver-based James Sudler Associates. The seven-story structure, 210,000-square-foot building allowed the museum to display its collections under one roof for the first time. The Frederic C. Hamilton Building, designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind and Denver firm Davis Partnership Architects, opened on October 7, 2006 to accommodate the Denver Art Museum's growing collections and programs.
La Joute (The Joust), a public sculptural installation executed by Jean-Paul Riopelle in 1969 was formerly located in the Parc Olympique. It was relocation to the Place Jean-Paul Riopelle in 2003 as part of the redevelopment of the Quartier international de Montréal, provoking protes5t from residents of Hochelaga-Maissonneuve, who claimed the work was deprived of the its context.
The ensemble of bronze sculptures contains a central fountain surrounded by a number of freestanding abstract animal and human figures inside and outside the fountain basin. The fountain operates on a kinetic sequence that takes about 32 minutes to complete and begins a few minutes before the half hour, every hour from 7 to 11 p.m. during the summer. The sequence starts when the fountain jet expands to form a dome over the sculptures. Then at the back end of the park the grates on the ground start to mist. The 12 grates each mist, one after the other in sequence, taking about 90 seconds to sequence from one to another until they reach the fountain. After about 18 minutes, machines inside the fountain start to produce a particularly dense cloud. The fountain jet then turns into a dribble. On the hour, nozzles in a ring surrounding the central sculpture within the basin shoot up jets of natural gas through the water; these are lit by flame sources installed in the daises of some of the sculptures, producing a dramatic ring of flame. The flame lasts for about seven minutes. The fountain itself stops. The misting stops, and then the fire is "doused" by the fountain which has restarted. The mist sequence, without the fire in the fountain, occurs every hour throughout the day.
Place Jean-Paul Riopelle, a public square built on an old exterior parking lot over the trench, a covered section of Autoroute Ville-Marie, was named in honor of Riopelle. The square features 88 trees in an "urban forest"--eleven different species from maple to hickory, all indigenous to the Montréal area.
Operation Vulcan executed their latest warrant yesterday (3 May 2023) at a property on Great Ducie Street in Cheetham Hill.
The warrant was carried out after intelligence came to light suggesting the property - a large distribution warehouse - was being used to supply a network of counterfeit stores throughout Cheetham Hill.
The number of items seized have an estimated worth of £1.2million pounds.
The enterprise was so vast officers made use of a conveyor belt to speed up the transfer of seized items into waiting vehicles.
Over the last 6 months through relentless policing and support from dedicated partners, Operation Vulcan has turned the tide against the criminals. The support of partners has been integral to Operation Vulcan and that was on full display yesterday (3 May 2023) with over 15 departments, teams, organisations and partner representatives in attendance - including from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, Intellectual Property Office, Trading Standards, Brand Experts and Border Force.
GMFRS also raised concerns about the safety of the building, which led to it being issued it with a prohibition order.
Inspector Andy Torkington said: "The network of counterfeit stores in Cheetham Hill might seem chaotic and disorganised but this is far from the truth. The latest warrant demonstrates that these stores are well funded and well supplied and it's big business for organised crime groups who have been operating out of the area.
"This warrant is an opportunity to make a huge dent in the supply chain by cutting off the head of the supply snake. I hope it sends a message to any remaining counterfeit stores in the area who persist in trading to pack up now or face the consequences.
"Operation Vulcan is here to stay and we will continue making it unsustainable for criminal businesses to exist here and will work shoulder-to-shoulder with our partners to re-build the area into a thriving community where people feel safe.”
Neil Fairlamb, Strategic Director of Neighbourhoods for Manchester City Council said: "The work that has taken place throughout Operation Vulcan has shown the scope and scale of the counterfeit industry. It is huge enterprise, one which has had an incredibly negative impact on our communities. By striking a blow against this criminal supply chain we will succeed in forcing these traders out for good."
The Intellectual Property Office’s Deputy Director of Intelligence and Law Enforcement, Marcus Evans said: The Intellectual Property Office’s Deputy Director of Intelligence and Law Enforcement, Marcus Evans said: “Criminal networks are seeking to exploit consumers and communities for their own financial gain through the trade in illegal counterfeits – with absolutely no regard for the quality or safety of the items being sold, which are often dangerous and defective. Such items can cause genuine harm to the people who buy and use them, as well as those workers often exploited during their production.
“As well as helping to sustain serious and organised crime, the sale of counterfeit goods has been estimated to contribute to over 80,000 job loses each year in the UK by diverting funds away from legitimate traders and into the hands of criminals. We are pleased to support the ongoing activity by Greater Manchester Police to clamp down on this illegal activity and help protect the public, as we continue to work with partners across in industry, local government, and law enforcement to help empower consumers and raise awareness of the damage these goods cause.”
