The conviction and the sentence are now final.
GAOL SENTENCE.
WOMAN SHOP-LIFTER.
FOLLOWED AND CAUGHT.
PUTTING GOODS IN CAR.
MAGISTRATE'S STERN COMMENT.
A glaring case of shop-lifting by a woman, accompanied by her daughter, was described in the Police Court today, the offence having taken place in Karangahape Road last evening. The accuseds the wife of a labourer, and of a family which came from the Home-land and formerly was in receipt of charitable aid, possessed a motor car.
Rebecca Gannon, aged 49, pleaded guilty to two charges—of stealing a dress valued at £2 19/6 from one shop, and a skirt valued at 17/6 from another shop.
Chief Detective. Hammond said accused was living with her husband and family at Point Chevalier. She and her daughter, aged 21, were at a Newton shop last evening, when she was seen by an assistant to take a dress. He followed her outside, and, before he had time to call a constable, both women boarded a bus, upon which the assistant also took passage in pursuit. Accused and her daughter alighted at another store and went over to a parked motor car in which the mother was seen to place the dress and skirt. They went into the store to make some purchases, and then the assistant, a pretty smart sort of man, rang up the Detective Office, from which two officers were immediately despatched. They waited outside until the accused came out with some groceries, which were not wrapped. The dress and skirt was then recovered from the car.
Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M.; Whose car is it?-—Her car, sir.
"They Got, On Well."
Mr. Hammond: Her husband is a labourer. They came out here from Home about six or seven years ago with very little. They got charitable assistance. They got on well— .
"And now they go round in a car," the magistrate intervened.
The chief detective went on to say that the worst feature of the case was the fact that accused took her daughter with her when she stole the goods, and one of the dresses fitted the daughter.
Asked for her opinion, Major Annie Gordon said that while she had no sympathy with shop-lifters, she trusted that accused would not be sent to gaol.
"Teaching Her Daughter."
Mr. Hunt (sharply): There is nothing to be said for her. She is teaching her daughter to steal. She is sentenced to 21 days' imprisonment. We will see whether that will stop the shop-lifters. A year ago I gave a woman three months. That stopped them for a while. A few weeks ago I gave another a month, and that hasn't stopped them. We will see what effect this will have.

STRUCK BY TRAM.
DEATH FROM INJURIES.
(Ey Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND. March 31.
Thomas Gannon, aged 51, died of injuries on Sunday morning after being struck by a College Hill tram on Saturday night. He was the husband of Rebecca Gannon, aged 49, who was sent to gaol by the Magistrate, Mr. Hunt, on Saturday morning for having shoplifted goods in her motorcar.

SENTENCE REMITTED.
As a sequel to the death of Thomas Gannon, who died as the result of injuries sustained on Saturday evening through being struck by a tramcar, the Minister of Justice has remitted a sentence of 21 days' imprisonment imposed on his wife last Friday for theft of a frock and skirt from shops in the city. The case came before Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., who in view of the death of the woman's husband, made representations to the Minister.

ACCIDENTAL.
COLLEGE HILL FATALITY.
THOMAS GANNON'S DEATH.
A verdict that Thomas Gannon, aged 50, of Riro Street, Point Chevalier, met his death from injuries received through being accidentally knocked down by a tram car on College Hill on the evening of March 29, was returned by the coroner, Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., yesterday afternoon. Gannon was a married man, employed by the Auckland Gas Company.
Alfred Norman Strange, the motorman of the tram, said he was driving down College Hill at 6 p.m. on March 29, when he saw a man on the left footpath walking down the hill. The man walked towards the tram lines and put up his hand as if to stop the car. Witness put on the brakes, although the next stopping place was about 80 yards down the road. When the tram was about six feet away from him, the man, who was standing near the tracks, suddenly made a rush across the rails and was struck by the car. He was thrown on the outward track. Witness said there was no opportunity to avoid the man, for it was impossible to stop the tram in such a short distance on the down grade.
"Just before the accident I passed him on the footpath," said Thelma Kruger. "He appeared to be giddy, but did not appear to be drunk." She was of the opinion that the affair was an accident. She thought that Mr. Gannon had become giddy while standing by the line.
Ensign Thorn, of the Salvation Army, said that the day before the accident, Mr. Gannon's wife had been sent to gaol. He was grief-stricken, and was almost in a state of collapse. Witness told one of deceased's daughters to see that he was not left alone in the house.
"There is no doubt that deceased was very much distressed and agitated, but I would not be justified in returning a verdict of suicide," said the coroner. "The verdict will be that he met his death from injuries received through being accidentally knocked down by a tram."

Does Massachusetts Need a (New) Three Strikes Law? | Rappaport Center Blue Cross Blue Shield Roundtable
House Minority Whip Bradford Hill, United States District Judge Nancy Gertner (ret.), and Middlesex County Sheriff Peter Koutoujian led a full capacity crowd in a lively debate of the pros and cons of the sentencing reform bills currently being negotiated by a Massachusetts legislative conference committee. Rep. Hill explained the evolution of “Melissa’s Bill,” which he introduced shortly after the murder of 27-year-old Melissa Gosule in 1999, from a California-type “three strikes” bill to a more narrowly tailored habitual offender provision targeted at the most violent offenders. Others questioned whether even a more narrow provision will reduce crime or just exacerbate prison overcrowding.

Ink on paper, 20 x 20 cm, 2001. An original piece from the series “Alphabet”:
A barcode is the graphical representation of a series of numbers. What creates the aesthetics of a barcode? It comes from lines, their thickness, the spacing. We can think of it as a language with its composition rules, its grammar and its syntax. I imagined isolating these rules, separating them from the original purpose for which they were created, and I tried to change them gradually to invent a new language and perhaps new meanings.

. . . There are words inside her, waiting to be born.
She feels them growing, forming, becoming thoughts that might later work themselves into sentences to be spoken aloud.
Now, they are nothing but jagged letters with sharp edged corners poking at her, making her uncomfortable. She can’t seem to put them together in any way that softens them.
She soon realizes they will always be hard and sharp. They will always be hard to get out.
It might be easier to keep them inside, let them remain a struggling mess of letters and sounds that will hurt no one but her.
Description from the book: A person, sentenced to transportation, is thus led, by an officer of justice, into the country appointed for his future residence. He carries a mat to serve him as a bed, and a leaf of a palm-tree, to protect him from the weather. Upon his back, his crime, his sentence, and his name, are displayed in conspicuous characters.
This punishment is inflicted upon those, who have struck an elder brother; who have incurred debts by gaming, which they are unable to pay; and for such other offence as appear to render the perpetrator unworthy to continue in his native country.
When offenders are thus conducted into some distant province, they are to be recalled, but, if into Tartary, their banishment is perpetual.

Hedwig Engemann, accused of aiding a man she had an affair with in a Nazi-organized effort to conducted sabotage in the United States during World War II, is shown in a mugshot after her arrest in 1942.
Hedwig “Hedy” Engemann was born in 1907 in New York to German immigrant parents. The Engemann family moved from the U.S. to Westphalia Germany in 1913. Her father was killed as a member of the German army during World War I in 1914 in France.
Her mother brought Hedwig Engemann and her three brothers back to the United States in 1928 and resettled in New York City where Hedwig worked as a waitress.
Hedwig Engemann took a trip to Miami in January 1940 where she met Eddie Kerling who would become one of six Nazi saboteurs executed by the United States. Engemann had an affair with Kerling, who was married.
She returned to New York later in 1940 working as a governess and later in the family grocery store.
In June 1942 she was approached by Helmut Leiner, a friend of Kerling’s, who asked her to go to Central Park where Kerling was waiting.
She was arrested a week later as the sabotage plot was foiled when one of its members went to the FBI. She was charged with misprision of treason—having knowledge of treason, but not doing anything about it. The person she was supposed to have knowledge of committing treason was Helmut Leiner.
She was also alleged to have changed money for Kerling into smaller denominations. She was the only U.S.-born citizen to be charged in the plot where a total of 22 people were initially arrested.
On advice of counsel, she pled guilty to misprision of treason and was sentenced to three years in prison in November 1942. Ironically Leiner was acquitted of treason charges since he was not a U.S. citizen, though he later went to jail on lesser charges.
Engemann was released on parole in 1945 after serving time in the Women’s House of Detention in New York and Alderson federal prison in West Virginia.
In 1952 she was required to register as an agent of a foreign government under the Internal Security Act of 1950.
Hedwig Engemann died in 1988
Of the eight Nazi saboteurs who landed on U.S. shores by U-boat, six were executed, one received 30 years and one received a life sentence. The latter two were granted clemency in 1948 and deported to Germany.
The other 14 (including Engemann) charged with aiding the saboteurs had various outcomes. Some were initially sentenced to death, but had their sentences overturned. Some served long prison terms, some shorter terms and some had charges dropped.

Henry "Bub" Meeks
Another prisoner of note also arrived the same year as Diamondfield Jack. On November 7, 1897, Henry Meeks entered the Idaho State Penitentiary to begin serving his 35-year sentence for bank robbery. Meeks is perhaps better known as Bub (some sources list his name as Bob) Meeks, a one-time member of the infamous Wild Bunch gang that featured none other than Butch Cassidy. Together with Cassidy and Elzy Lay, Meeks robbed the bank in Montpelier, Idaho. While Cassidy and Lay were able to escape, Meeks was captured and put on trial.
At the time, the Wild Bunch gang was still growing in stature and only after the robbery would Harry Longabaugh (also known as The Sundance Kid) join up. They were alternatively known as the "Hole in the Wall" gang, which was colloquially used to describe several other gangs that shared hideouts in the Hole-in-the-Wall Pass in Johnson County, Wyoming.
The trio held up the bank on August 13, 1896 and reportedly pulled in a haul worth over $7,000 with little violence. According to some accounts, Meeks was the only one of the robbers to not wear a bandana over his face because he served as the lookout standing outside, which made for easy identification later. He was arrested on June 15, 1897 in Fort Bridget, Wyoming on an unrelated robbery charge and brought to Idaho for identification. With a positive identification, he was put on trial and convicted of the crime that September and was sent to Idaho State Penitentiary two months later.
Once in prison, Meeks sentence was reduced to 12 years following a series of letters of recommendation written on his behalf, including one from the cashier of the bank he had robbed. However, it would not be enough to dissuade Meeks from attempting to escape. On December 24, 1901, Meeks grabbed a horse by the name of Old Selam and made for the nearby hills. Unfortunately for him, his progress was slowed by a minor snowstorm that also left behind tracks for his pursuers to follow. He and the horse were recaptured and sent back to the prison on Christmas Day.
By February 2, 1903, he was ready to try again and made a desperate run from the prison's front gate. An alert Deputy Warden R.H. Fulton quickly brought his escape attempt to an end by firing a shot that hit Meeks just below the knee on his left leg. The wound would turn out to be fairly dramatic and his leg had to be amputated. Within the next two months, Meeks reportedly attempted suicide twice; once by stabbing himself with a pair of shears and again by climbing a 35-foot wall where he yelled, "Hurrah for Hell!" and then jumped. He only received minor injuries for his effort.
Given his suicide attempts and increasingly erratic behavior, Meeks was ultimately transferred to an asylum in Blackfoot, Idaho. He managed to escape that facility within a few months by overpowering his physician and stealing another mare, but again would be tracked down - this time at his family's ranch. However, his family was reportedly concerned by his mental state and Idaho authorities decided to leave his fate to them. They checked him into the Wyoming State Hospital in Evanston, Wyoming where he died on November 22, 1912.

In the heart of Vienna lies the abbey of Our Lady to the Scots, the habitat of Benedictine monks who know themselves addressed by this sentence from the book of Psalms in person.
By the aim of the search for God and by the concrete form of life the monks are associated with the many Benedictine monks and Benedictine nuns all over the world. In addition, they know themselves in solidarity with all people of good will, like them, seeking true life.

Following the Benedictine rules, the monastery but provides also very specific services. In the spirit of Benedictine hospitality the Schottenstift offers »monastery for a limited time", in the as a bed and breakfast run Benediktushaus guests from all over the world are welcome. The pastoral and spiritual care are just as much part of everyday life of the members of the Convention as the teaching in the traditional Scots high school and youth work in the basement. In the spirited Scots parish a lively cultural activity can unfold.
History of the Schottenstift
Duke Henry II Jasomirgott made Vienna the residence of Babenbergerreiches (Kingdom of the Babenberg). To emphasize the importance of the new capital, he convened in 1155 iroschottische (Irish-Scottish) monks from the St. Jakob monastery in Regensburg to Vienna. The new foundation in the first place should be a place of prayer, but then also a place where pilgrims and guests could find admission, a refuge for asylum seekers (the name "Freyung" still today reminds of that) and a center of cultural life.

In the years from 1160 to 1200 outside the former city limits arose a mighty Romanesque church, which was a lot bigger than today's church, and the eastern part of the Roman church reached about 25 meters beyond the east wall of the present house of worship. In 1200, the church and convent were consecrated by the Bishop of Passau Wolfger von Ellenbrechtskirchen. Already in 1276 much of this troublesome erected complex fell victim to a fire. Earthquakes in the years 1348 and 1443 again left traces of destruction. In the mid-15th Century thus arose a new monastery.
Scots Church - © S. Gaube, Citype
In 1418 the era of Irish-Scottish monks ended, since in the course of the Melker Reform they were encouraged also to integrate locals into their ranks because junior staff more and more became sparse. The Iroschotten but prefered to return to their mother abbey in Regensburg. The name "Scots" but remained to this day.
Schottenstift Deed - © Schottenstift
Deed of Foundation
The fundamental redesign of Scots Abbey falls in the 17th and 18th Century. 1648, the present church was completed, in the following decades the monastery complex was changed from its very foundations.
Decisive role in these buildings had Abbot Carl Fetzer (1705-1750). Today's "Schottenhof (Court)" under abbot Andreas Wenzel (1807-1831) by the architect Josef Kornhäusel was classicist redesigned. The intensive study of science and close ties to the in 1365 founded University of Vienna resulted yet in the times of irish-scottish monks in the emergence of a first library. Although from those roots today almost nothing remains, the number of medieval manuscripts and incunabula in the following centuries grew. In this regard, wrote Albert P. Huebl (1867-1931) all currently valid printed catalogs. During the reorganization of the monastery, a new library hall was built under Abbot Andreas Wenzel for printed books, whose current division Vincent P. Knauer (1828-1894) had created. Under his leadership, a handwritten nominal catalog of books was created in 1883.
In 1807 on the request of the emperor it came to the foundation of the "Schottengymnasium" which took up the old school tradition of the house on the Freyung and should it continue. The prestigious school has become a main area of work of the monks. Concerning the building structure, the two world wars the Schottenstift on the whole has survived intact, for the Convention itself they entailed great damage, be it the economic troubles after the first world war or the great human bloodletting in the years 1939 to 1945. Numerous brothers fell in the war or did not return, the gates of the school remained closed from 1938 to 1945. The Second Vatican Council for the Scots Abbey, too, entailed the profound reflection upon the peculiarities of the monastic life and the tasks, which a Benedictine community in the world of today should and can shoulder.

Important art dating back several centuries
The Vienna Schottenstift on Freyung is among the most important Benedictine monasteries in Austria. Yet in the 15th Century, the Abbey of the Scots developed into a center of the Vienna spiritual and city life. Not coincidentally shows the Scots masters altar the first topographically correct view of the city of Vienna. The reign of Barockabtes (Baroque abbot) Carl Fetzer (1705-1750) was an economic and cultural heyday. The 1826-1832 by Josef Kornhäusel designed Prelature now houses the "Museum in the Abbey of the Scots". In addition to an extensive collection of paintings, furniture, tapestries, vestments and liturgical utensils and vestments, it shows an impressive documentation of the monastery history.

The high altar of the original Gothic collegiate church was removed about 1640. Today, the altar of the "Wiener Scots Master (Schottenmeister)", originating from 1469 to 1480, is a masterpiece of late Gothic painting in Austria and the center of the museum in Schottenstift. History, development process, workshop operations, among others, illustrates an informative documentary, which complement the successor works to Flemish painting of the 17th Century by Josse de Momper the Younger and David Vinckboons.
In Schottenstift the Interested visitor finds in addition to major religious paintings (among others by Peter Paul Rubens, Jan Cossiers and Giovanni Battista Pittoni), portrait and landscape painting of the 17th and 18th Century (eg by Johann Christian Brand, Christian Seybold, Christoph Paudiss and Simon de Vos) and Vienna Biedermeier painting by Johann Baptist Drechsler, Johann Knapp, Thomas Ender and Johann Peter Krafft. Works of the Dutch and Austrian still life painting of the 17th and 18th Century complement the valuable private collection. The large-sized former Baroque high altar painting by Joachim von Sandrart »The heavenly glory" (1671) in Prälatensaal is, like the lecture hall with works of Austrian baroque painters, as Peter Paul Strudel and Tobias Pock, integrated into the museum complex.
The sign says: Men who had been sentenced to be shot at the "Death Wall" stripped in this room. It happened that the death penalty was also executed here.
-----
Block 11 was known as the "Death Block." It served several functions, of which the most important was its role as the central camp jail. Male and female prisoners from all parts of the camp complex were held in this building. Most of these people were suspected by the camp Gestapo of involvement in clandestine activities: attempting to escape, organizing mutinies, and maintaining contacts with the outside world.
Poles from outside the camp who had been arrested for rendering aid to prisoners were imprisoned here too. Following brutal interrogations, they were in most cases sentenced to death by shooting. In the early years of the camp the penal unit and re-education unit were also held in this block. The prisoners of the penal unit, to which almost all the Jewish men and Polish priests held in the camp at that time were sent on arrival, were assigned the most back-breaking work; most of them died.
For some time the block also held the special unit of prisoners employed to burn the bodies of the dead.
From 1943 on, police detainees were also held here. These were Poles from the area under the jurisdiction of the Gestapo in Katowice who were suspected of involvement in the resistance movement. They would be held here awaiting sentence from a special German summary court. Usually the penalty was death.
In the basement, known as the bunker, were punishment cells where the SS confined prisoners regarded as guilty of violating camp regulations. In 1941 prisoners sentenced to death by starvation were held here.
Over the period 3-5 September 1941, the SS carried out experiments in the basement with Zyklon B in preparation for the mass murder of Jews; 600 Soviet POWs and 250 Polish political prisoners, selected from the camp infirmary as human guinea pigs for this experiment, were murdered here in this way.
Photo #2 from the series
the shoot was actually to depict on how does a wet market looks like after everyone gone (about 5-6pm) and to get some dramatic shadows for the photos. it was an overcasted day so i didn't get the shadows i want.
however, the first thing that nabbed my attention as i entered the market was was there were chickens being locked up in tiny cages for waiting to be executed, which i am pretty sure, not by choice. (what you see on the first photograph). the cage was so small, there's barely room for them to move or stand properly.
then as i walked around, i came across a section where various meats were hung about for sale. (photograph number two) this is the place were buy/sell takes place in the morning.
last but not least, (photograph number 3) is where the remains/leftovers of the slaughtered chicken were dumped. it was actually right next to the cages of chicken. the place looks like a holocaust for animals that we actually feed on. the whole place has a disconcerting stench of blood as well.
like i said, i'm not much of a PETA person like pamela anderson or neither am i a vegetarian, but somehow, i do think that we could make some kind of changes can be made to treat them better. at the current rate that we're going, it's a suprise that there's no major plaque breakout from the the way we handle the poultry and farm animals.

The new foundation in the first place should be a place of prayer, but then also a place where pilgrims and guests could find admission, a refuge for asylum seekers (the name "Freyung" still today reminds of that) and a center of cultural life.

In the years from 1160 to 1200 outside the former city limits arose a mighty Romanesque church, which was a lot bigger than today's church, and the eastern part of the Roman church reached about 25 meters beyond the east wall of the present house of worship. In 1200, the church and convent were consecrated by the Bishop of Passau Wolfger von Ellenbrechtskirchen. Already in 1276 much of this troublesome erected complex fell victim to a fire. Earthquakes in the years 1348 and 1443 again left traces of destruction. In the mid-15th Century thus arose a new monastery.

In 1418 the era of Irish-Scottish monks ended, since in the course of the Melker Reform they were encouraged also to integrate locals into their ranks because junior staff more and more became sparse. The Iroschotten but prefered to return to their mother abbey in Regensburg. The name "Scots" but remained to this day.

Deed of Foundation
The fundamental redesign of Scots Abbey falls in the 17th and 18th Century. 1648, the present church was completed, in the following decades the monastery complex was changed from its very foundations.
Decisive role in these buildings had Abbot Carl Fetzer (1705-1750). Today's "Schottenhof (Court)" under abbot Andreas Wenzel (1807-1831) by the architect Josef Kornhäusel was classicist redesigned. The intensive study of science and close ties to the in 1365 founded University of Vienna resulted yet in the times of irish-scottish monks in the emergence of a first library. Although from those roots today almost nothing remains, the number of medieval manuscripts and incunabula in the following centuries grew. In this regard, wrote Albert P. Huebl (1867-1931) all currently valid printed catalogs. During the reorganization of the monastery, a new library hall was built under Abbot Andreas Wenzel for printed books, whose current division Vincent P. Knauer (1828-1894) had created. Under his leadership, a handwritten nominal catalog of books was created in 1883.
In 1807 on the request of the emperor it came to the foundation of the "Schottengymnasium" which took up the old school tradition of the house on the Freyung and should it continue. The prestigious school has become a main area of work of the monks. Concerning the building structure, the two world wars the Schottenstift on the whole has survived intact, for the Convention itself they entailed great damage, be it the economic troubles after the first world war or the great human bloodletting in the years 1939 to 1945. Numerous brothers fell in the war or did not return, the gates of the school remained closed from 1938 to 1945. The Second Vatican Council for the Scots Abbey, too, entailed the profound reflection upon the peculiarities of the monastic life and the tasks, which a Benedictine community in the world of today should and can shoulder.

Important art dating back several centuries
The Vienna Schottenstift on Freyung is among the most important Benedictine monasteries in Austria. Yet in the 15th Century, the Abbey of the Scots developed into a center of the Vienna spiritual and city life. Not coincidentally shows the Scots masters altar the first topographically correct view of the city of Vienna. The reign of Barockabtes (Baroque abbot) Carl Fetzer (1705-1750) was an economic and cultural heyday. The 1826-1832 by Josef Kornhäusel designed Prelature now houses the "Museum in the Abbey of the Scots". In addition to an extensive collection of paintings, furniture, tapestries, vestments and liturgical utensils and vestments, it shows an impressive documentation of the monastery history.

The high altar of the original Gothic collegiate church was removed about 1640. Today, the altar of the "Wiener Scots Master (Schottenmeister)", originating from 1469 to 1480, is a masterpiece of late Gothic painting in Austria and the center of the museum in Schottenstift. History, development process, workshop operations, among others, illustrates an informative documentary, which complement the successor works to Flemish painting of the 17th Century by Josse de Momper the Younger and David Vinckboons.
In Schottenstift the Interested visitor finds in addition to major religious paintings (among others by Peter Paul Rubens, Jan Cossiers and Giovanni Battista Pittoni), portrait and landscape painting of the 17th and 18th Century (eg by Johann Christian Brand, Christian Seybold, Christoph Paudiss and Simon de Vos) and Vienna Biedermeier painting by Johann Baptist Drechsler, Johann Knapp, Thomas Ender and Johann Peter Krafft. Works of the Dutch and Austrian still life painting of the 17th and 18th Century complement the valuable private collection. The large-sized former Baroque high altar painting by Joachim von Sandrart »The heavenly glory" (1671) in Prälatensaal is, like the lecture hall with works of Austrian baroque painters, as Peter Paul Strudel and Tobias Pock, integrated into the museum complex.
Monastery of St. Catherine on the Sinai Peninsula, at the mouth of an inaccessible gorge at the foot of Mount Sinai, in Egypt is one of the oldest continuously functioning Christian monasteries. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Saint Catherine was a Christian martyr initially sentenced to death on the wheel. However, when this failed to kill her, she was beheaded. According to tradition, angels took her remains to Mount Sinai. Around the year 800, monks from the Sinai Monastery found her remains. At this time Egypt was a Muslim country so this Christian monastery in the enormous mountain passes of Sinai could use an Egyptian saint from the Early Church.
St. Catherine's Monastery possesses some of the earliest icons in existence, including this 6th-century hot wax icon.
The monastery was built by order of Emperor Justinian I between 527 and 565, enclosing the Chapel of the Burning Bush ordered built by Helena, the mother of Constantine I, at the site where Moses is supposed to have seen the burning bush; the living bush on the grounds is purportedly the original. The site is sacred to three major world religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Though it is commonly known as Saint Catherine's, the actual name of the monastery is the Monastery of the Transfiguration. The site was associated with St. Catherine of Alexandria (whose relics were purported to have been miraculously transported there by angels) and it became a favorite site for pilgrimages.
The monastery library preserves the second largest collection of early codices and manuscripts in the world, outnumbered only by the Vatican Library. Its strength lies in Greek, Coptic, Arabic, Armenian, Hebrew, and Syriac texts.
The complex houses irreplaceable works of art: mosaics, Greek and Russian icons, encaustic paintings, as well as sacerdotal ornaments, chalices and reliquaries. Most importantly, it is home to some of the earliest icons in the world, dating to the 5th and 6th centuries. The oldest icon on the Old Testament theme is also preserved there. A project to catalogue the works held in the library is currently being undertaken.

PORTSAID, EGYPT - FEBRUARY 1: Protesters chanting against President Morsi
-
Thousands went down to the streets on Friday in memory of the dozens killed in clashes with security forces, also in solidarity with local football fans sentenced to death.
Protesters demanded the downfall of President Mohamed Morsi and called for the army to take over. Some protesters even demanded the independence of Porsaid - to be a separate country from Egypt.
The violence started after 21 football fans were sentenced to death for their involvement in last year's stadium riot that left 74 dead.
Army was deployed to the streets after Morsi announced a curfew - a curfew defied by protesters - to be imposed in Portsaid, Ismailia and Suez.

“Pastor Marcos, que não é pastor, é homem de confiança do Marcinho com a sociedade, já matou pessoas com o Marcinho. Ele lava o dinheiro do Marcinho" noticias.terra.com.br/brasil/policia/,0ee8c4cf29942410Vgn...
It is rather unusual for a photographer, to be able to take photos of his assassin, before he is killed; or for that matter, for a photographer to take a series of photographs of the individual who later on, would place a murder contract on the photographer.
That is exactly the case with this photo series.
On Oct. 2009, I did a series of photos and videos of Brazilian Pastor, Marcos Pereira da Silva, who appears on most of the photos of this series, while he visited the NY-NJ Region in Oct., 2009.
Soon after, I decided to stop doing this work, because of many illegalities witnessed of Pereira da Silva.
Months later and until the present, Pereira da Silva, did place a murder contract on Branko, because of the information that Branko had acquired of Pereira's wrongdoings.
During the beginning of March 2012, several people have denounced Pereira da Silva in Brazil.
The charges are for child brutality, rape, killings, placing murder contracts on other individuals, etc.
One of his denouncers has called him, "one of the biggest criminal minds of Rio de Janeiro", and I, by my own experience, happen to agree.
On May 7 2013, Pastor Marcos Pereira, was arrested in Rio de Janeiro Brazil.
He is indicted for several rapes, some minors. He is also being investigated for Money Laundering for Drug Cartels, Conspiracy to commit several murders.
Several killers contracted by Pereira, continue trying to kill Branko to this date.
The FBI, Newark Police and Newark's US District Attorney's Office have done a Cover up of Pereira's Case in the US.

Por causa disto, Pereira da Silva tem pago assassinos para me matar, desde o començo de 2010 ate o presente.
Recentemente, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; no mes de Março 2012, tem aparecido muitas denuncias contra Pereira da Silva, por estupro, violencia infantil, ameaça de morte.

Simon Francis Mann (born 26 June 1952) is a British mercenary and former British Army officer. He had been serving a 34-year prison sentence in Equatorial Guinea for his rôle in a failed coup d'état in 2004, before receiving a presidential pardon on humanitarian grounds on 2 November 2009.
Mann was extradited (in his words as there was no extradition treaty) from Zimbabwe to Equatorial Guinea on 1 February 2008, having been accused of planning a coup d'état to overthrow the government by leading a mercenary force into the capital Malabo in an effort to kidnap or kill President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo. Charges in South Africa of aiding a coup in a foreign country were dropped on 23 February 2007, but the charges remained in Equatorial Guinea, where he had been convicted in absentia in November 2004. He lost an extradition hearing to Equatorial Guinea after serving three years of a four-year prison sentence in Zimbabwe for the same crimes and being released early on good behaviour.
Upon Mann's arrival in Equatorial Guinea for his trial in Malabo, public Prosecutor Jose Olo Obono said that Mann would face three charges – crimes against the head of state, crimes against the government, and crimes against the peace and independence of the state. On 7 July 2008, he was sentenced to 34 years and four months in prison by a Malabo court. He was released on 2 November 2009, on humanitarian grounds.
Simon Mann's father, George Mann, captained the England cricket team in the late 1940s and was an heir to a stake in the Watney Mann brewing empire that closed in 1979, having been acquired by Grand Metropolitan (which, in 1997, became Diageo plc on its merger with Guinness). His mother is South African.
Mann was educated at Wellesley House and then Eton College. After Eton, Mann trained to be an officer at Sandhurst and was commissioned into the Scots Guards on 16 December 1972. By 1976 he held the rank of Lieutenant. He later became a member of the SAS and served in Cyprus, Germany, Norway and Northern Ireland before leaving the forces in 1985. He was re-called to action from the reserves for the Gulf War.
Mann then entered the field of computer security; however, his interest in this industry lapsed when he returned from his service in the Gulf and he entered the oil industry to work with Tony Buckingham. Buckingham also had a military background and had been a diver in the North Sea oil industry before joining a Canadian oil firm. In 1993, UNITA rebels in Angola seized the port of Soyo, and closed its oil installations. The Angolan government under Jose Eduardo dos Santos sought mercenaries to seize back the port and asked for assistance from Buckingham who had by now formed his own company. Buckingham hired a South African organisation called Executive Outcomes, in which Mann and Buckingham were involved.
Mann went on to establish Sandline International with fellow ex-Scots Guards Colonel Tim Spicer in 1996. The company operated mostly in Angola and Sierra Leone, but in 1997 Sandline received a commission from the government of Papua New Guinea to suppress a rebellion on the island of Bougainville and the company came to international prominence, but received much negative publicity following the Sandline affair. Sandline International announced the closure of the company's operations on 16 April 2004. In an interview on the Today Programme, Mann indicated that the operations in Angola had netted more than £10,000,000. (Source: Wikipedia)
