Execution Rocks Lighthouse is located in Long Island Sound. Legend has it that the British used to chain prisoners to the rocks at low tide and wait for them to drown as the tide came in. The lighthouse was built in the 1840's and recently handed over to a non-profit for restoration. It is a 30 minute boat ride away from the shore, and has no electricity or running water, plus it is rumored to be haunted.

Ta Som is a small, classic Bayon-style monastic complex consisting of a relatively flat enclosure, face tower gopuras and cruciform interior sanctuaries much like a miniature version of Ta Prohm. Many of the carvings are in good condition and display particularly fine execution for late 12th century works. Take note of the devata carvings which show an uncommon individuality. A huge tree grows from the top of the eastern gopura. It is destroying the gate but it is a photo classic. Best photographed in the afternoon.
Simon Fraser, 11. Lord Lovat (ur. ok. 1667, zm. 6 kwietnia 1747 w Londynie) – szkocki jakobita, wódz klanu Fraser. Z powodu swej nieuchwytności zwany "lisem" (Fraser the Fox)
Od momentu gdy władzę przejął Wilhelm II Orański aż do roku 1714 przebywał we Francji. Podczas pierwszej rewolty jakobickiej w 1715 popierał Jerzego I, w czasie drugiego (1745) poparł Pięknego Księcia Charliego (Karola Edwarda Stuarta). Po klęsce powstania (bitwa pod Culloden) wojska brytyjskie spaliły jego zamek w Dounie. Po trudach ucieczki , został w końcu złapany na wyspie na jeziorze Loch Morar. Odesłano go do Londynu, gdzie przeciw niemu zeznawał inny jakobita John Murray z Broughton. Wyrok śmierci zapadł 19 marca 1747 roku. Egzekucja miała miejsce (była to ostatnia dekapitacja na Tower Hill) 19 kwietnia. Ostatnie słowa skazańca były sentencją z Horacego: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.

Judith and Holofernes, 1620-21
Artemisia Gentileschi
Assyrian king Nebuchadnezzar sent his general Holofernes to besiege the Jewish city of Bethulia. Judith, described as a beautiful young widow, resolves to save her people by slaying Holofernes herself. After reciting a long prayer to God, she dons her finest clothes in order to seduce him. After Holofernes has drank enough wine to become intoxicated, Judith decapitates him with his own sword, winning a decisive victory for the Israelites.

From Artemisia
(October 2020 to January 2021)
"I will show Your Illustrious Lordship what a woman can do"
In 17th-century Europe, at a time when women artists were not easily accepted, Artemisia was exceptional. She challenged conventions and defied expectations to become a successful artist and one of the greatest storytellers of her time.
Artemisia painted subjects that were traditionally the preserve of male artists and for the male gaze; transforming meek maidservants into courageous conspirators and victims into survivors.
In this first major exhibition of Artemisia’s work in the UK, see her best-known paintings including two versions of her iconic and viscerally violent ‘Judith beheading Holofernes’; as well as her self portraits, heroines from history and the Bible, and recently discovered personal letters, seen in the UK for the first time.

Congress’ Role in the Making and Execution of National Security Policy in the Trump Era
President Obama and the Republican Congress were usually at odds over national security policy. With a Republican in the White House now, will the President and Congress see eye to eye on threats and their solutions, or will differing institutional pressures and perspectives keep the respective ends of Pennsylvania Avenue apart? And, will the congressional investigations of Russia’s attempt to influence the presidential election end with a bang or a whimper? However the investigations conclude, what impact will they have on the relationship between the two branches?

Cook murdered his 2nd wife and was hung here in Woodstock, the first execution (of five) in the city's history, and he was so fat he was decapitated by the noose. This bust of his death mask was placed here beside the door from the gaol to what used to be the prison yard, a warning to the prisoners to behave I take it. They'd pass this at least twice a day.
- I had a job in London, ON from Nov '08 to Nov '09 and tried to see more of southwestern Ontario while I was there (with more to see and learn about than I expected). One night in town I spoke with a bartender about his adventures working in taverns in towns around southern Ontario. I'd just been to Woodstock, and he said it's a strange place with the most obstreporous locals. One day 2 guys in their 30s or 40s were sitting at his bar, the door opened and a 3rd guy walked in. He saw them, they saw him, a pin dropped, and then they jumped each other in an all-out melee. The bartender broke it up and kicked the 3rd guy out. He asked the first 2 what that was all about and they said "ahh, we've hated that guy since high school." !! Woodstock's a small town, they must run into each other several times a month.

The Mausoleum of Emperor Ferdinand II
Among the three in Styria from the age of the Counter Reformation originating mausoleums, the chronologically last emerged Grazer Mausoleum occupies a transregional position: It is a building with a European dimension. Ferdinand II entrusted 1614 his from Lodi, near Milan, coming Court artist Giovanni Pietro de Pomis (1569-1633) with the design and execution of this monumental grave construction, which was completed in 1636.
The Mausoleum - consisting of the symbol associated form of a cross of St. Catherine's Church and the oval tomb (symbol of the resurrection) - shows the ecclesiastical and dynastic representation intentions of the client: the patronage of St. Catherine of Alexandria does not only refer to a medieval predecessor building, but also stands in the context of the by Archduke Charles II, the father of Ferdinand II, in 1585 founded and run by the Jesuit Order University, which also stood under the patronage of the female martyr, the patron saint of Sciences. The dynastic intentions are recognizable at the symbolic crownings of the domes - scepter and imperial eagle with imperial sword and orb. The sandstone statues on the west façade - the by two angels flanked saint Catherine and two of the Holy to Christianity converted people - and the painted copper plates in the niches with the scenes from the life of St. Catherine form additionally not only a to the titular saint of the Church and patron of the university related program, but also show in the two to Catholic faith converted figures Porphyry and Faustina a Counter-Reformation aspect.
The completion of the interior was only in 1687 by the glorious victor over the Turks Emperor Leopold I initiated. He extended in the same time the originally related to his grandfather Ferdinand II equipment program by a glorification of the house of Austria and an apothesosis directed to his person.
The designs for the remarkable stucco decorations and for the altar of Catherine delivered the 1687 in Graz born Imperial court painter Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. The stucco work was carried out 1688/89 by Josef Serenio, Girolamo Rossi and Antonio Quadrio. The at the same emerged nave frescoes with the Apotheosis of the Habsburg dynasty were probably painted by Franz Steinpichler. At the center of these frescoes is the then most topical relief battle of Vienna (1683) shown. The sculptures of St. Catherine's altar carved Marx Schokotnigg (1697/99); from the same artist stem the angels of the Marian altar (1697/1701). The altarpiece depicting the Immaculate Virgin painted in 1699 Antonio Bellucci. Of the church furnishing is furthermore the "sacred grave" (1768/69) by Veit Koniger to emphasize, by its playing platform and the multi-figured ensemble counting to the most important "holy shrines" in Austria.
The frescoes in the chapel grave with representations of the virtues and deeds of the Catholic Emperor Ferdinand II and typological juxtapositions from the Old and the New Testament that refer to the resurrection and redemption of Christ, painted about 1689 Matthias Echter. He also established the fresco in the choir with the mystic marriage of St. Catherine. The niche figures of stucco - personifications of the virtues of "faith", "love", "hope" and "justice" - created around 1695/96 Marx Schokotnigg. The paintings "Saint Ignatius" by Franz Wagenschön (1766) and "Mary Immaculate" by Josef Tunner (1858 ) were formerly as altarpieces in use.
The stucco work of the tomb chamber manufactured around 1640 Mattia Camin (they were in 1694 renewed by Josef Serenio). The here represented substantial program shows the insignias and coats of arms of the countries and hereditary lands of Emperor Ferdinand II, symbols of death and last rites and painted scenes from the Old and the New Testament that refer to the resurrection.
The tombs of Emperor Ferdinand II (d. 1637) and of Archduchess Maria Anna of Bavaria (d. 1616), the first wife of Ferdinand II, are characterized by inscription panels. Also, here is a so-called Herzgrüftl (small heart tomb) with the hearts of Ferdinand II, his mother, Maria of Bavaria, his second wife Eleanor of Gonzaga and of other archducal family members.
The Rotmarmorsarkophag (red marble sarcophagus) in the crypt room with the three-dimensional recumbent figures of the parents of Ferdinand II, in which, however, only his mother is buried, stems from the ancient Grazer monastery of the Poor Clares and may have been manufactured about 1608 by Sebastian Carlone.
The Mausoleum of Ferdinand II is due to its complex architectural and iconological program a Hall of Fame of the Counter-Reformation. It identifies itself by its political-imperial statement as foundation building of the Imperial House of Austria. From the artistic point of view, it is also a main example of the manifestation of Roman art movements in the High Baroque in Styria.
