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.

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.

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.
The museum in Schottenstift

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.

Family members of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg—husband and wife sentenced to death for passing information on the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union--take part in a demonstration seeking clemency in front of the White House June 14, 1953 just days before their pair’s execution.
The Rosenberg’s son Michael, 10, walks between his grandmother, Sophie Rosenberg, and an unidentified youth girl. Son Robert, 6, looks away at the right as his hand is held by Emily Alman, a leader of the demonstration.
The Rosenbergs and a third man, Morton Sobell, were tried together for passing classified information to the Soviet Union related to an atomic bomb.
Part of the prosecution strategy was to emphasize their ties to the Communist Party at a time when hysteria over communists in the U.S. was at an all time high during the Cold War and with U.S. troops battling in Korea against forces aided by both the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China.
The Rosenbergs were convicted, sentenced to death and then executed June 19, 1953 despite an international outcry for clemency. Sobell served 17 ½ years of a 30 year sentence.

This is an important leaf from of Peter Lombard's Sentences produced in England c.1280. (See also Ref 73).
The text is perhaps from Distinction XIV of the book, as the second rubric on the verso seems to refer to Chapter 77 of the book (Chapter 4 of that Distinction). Having said this, the other two rubrics are not easily recognisable as referring to Chapters 76 and 78 and it is not known what the long text on the recto is.
The size of the leaf, including repair, is 326mm x 219mm (12 8/10ins. x 8 6/10ins.).
Many letters in the top and bottom lines with calligraphic extensions, most highlighted in red and five of which include dragon's heads.
The text seems to have been proof read, as there are instances where omissions have been identified and noted in the margin (example - line 15, right column, recto). There are also instances where the original text has been removed and replaced (example - line 52, left column, recto).
This leaf is quite well glossed. There are two glosses in bright red, the longer of which translates as "Here begins the permitted authorities that are explained". Other glosses in at least four different hands can be identified.
CONDITION OF LEAF: -
The leaf must have fallen away from the book at some time and then repaired so that it could be re-attached. Otherwise it is in very good condition for its age.
PROVENANCE: -
This information has been provided by Dr. Christopher de Hamel, Librarian, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.
1.From a volume consisting of Books III-IV only of which this is the last leaf written in England about 1280;
2.Edward Walmsley, whose library was sold in London in 1795 (his signature in the bottom line of the outside column of text [mentioned in the 1980 catalogue description];
3.The manuscript was already imperfect by 1910 when a leaf was given by J.F.Lewis to the Free Library in Philadelphia (now Lewis fragment XIII:373);
4.Another leaf was owned in the late 1950's by the late Marquess of Cholomondley, who bequeathed it to the Society for Italic Handwriting, which still owns it;
5.Most of the volume, including the present leaf, was owned by Nell and Charles Wheeler (their sale, New York, 29th. July 1919, lot 593);
6.Purchased by the calligrapher C.L. Ricketts (and described in his possession by S. de Ricci, Census of Medieval and Renaissance MSS in the United States and Canada, I, 1935, p.646, No. 185, mentioning Ed. Walmsley [copy of entry attached to Ins. No. 73];

GENERAL COMMENTS: -
Whilst not in perfect condition, this is a leaf of the greatest interest being from a book that was "the fundamental book of all medieval theology" (Bernard Quaritch). The book was written in the 12th. Century by Peter Lombard whilst he was professor at the cathedral school in Notre Dame in Paris.
It is a good example of the way that university textbooks were laid out - wide margins - as evidenced here by the wideness of the outside and bottom margins. They were made so to enable the student to write his notes about the text, the "Gloss".
Scaffolding grips the house like a promise suspended mid-sentence. Windows are removed, shingles stripped, siding exposed to the weather and to scrutiny. And then—nothing. Tools abandoned, tarps trailing, grass reclaiming the yard. It is the Marie Celeste of restoration projects: evidence of intention everywhere, the crew nowhere in sight. In Uppertown, time does not simply pass; it pools. Plans begin, pause, and drift. The question lingers in the rafters: where did everyone go?
Look closely at the wooden lattice that surrounds it. At first glance it reads as scaffolding—verticals, diagonals, cross-bracing, the grammar of construction. But linger, and something feels slightly wrong. The geometry loosens. The spacing wanders. The diagonals do not quite resolve into disciplined bays. It resembles those research photographs of spider webs spun under the influence of LSD: still recognizably webs, still anchored to their points of origin, yet subtly deranged in their logic. The pattern persists, but coherence falters.
This exoskeleton clings to the house as if it grew there. It looks less engineered than improvised, less modular than organic. It suggests intention interrupted—an argument about structure rather than structure itself. The house appears to be molting, mid-transformation, caught between identities. It is neither ruin nor renewal. It is a thought that lost momentum.
And here is the Uppertown paradox. To the west, Astoria curates its past: restored façades, polished storefronts, maritime nostalgia framed for visitors. But here, on the eastern fringe, the past remains unsettled and the future undecided. Projects start. They stall. Weather resumes its quiet authority. The lumber grays. The grass returns. The house waits.
It is not collapse that haunts this scene. It is suspension. The structure stands; the will that animated it has thinned. What remains is a house wrapped in the visible residue of intention—a web that still holds, but no longer knows what it is meant to catch.

Fortress Špilberk
The fortress Spielberg (Czech: Špilberk) is located in South Moravian Brno in the Czech Republic. It has a changing history as a medieval castle, fortress, barracks and prison behind it. Today are located in here exhibitions and a restaurant. The complex is a cultural and tourist destination of the Brno population. Its location on a hill offers a good view over the city.
Location
The former Spielberg fortress is situated on a hill (282 meters above sea level) above the old town of Brno.
History
Fortress
Spielberg Castle was built in the second half of the 13th century and has undergone some changes over the centuries. At first it was the Gothic castle of the Bohemian kings and seat of the Moravian margrave. In the middle of the 17th century, it was expanded into a powerful Baroque fortress. In the middle of the eighteenth century, with the then fortified city of Brno, it formed the most important bastion in Moravia.
The casemates, completed in 1742, were an important part of the fortress. They should provide protection for a 1200 man strong military corps. In the end, however, only military depots were placed here. In the year 1783, a prison was established for the most dangerous and worst criminals, in the course of the reform of the Austrian prison system by order of Emperor Joseph II. In 1785, the southern part of the casemates was also converted into a prison and called the Leopoldine tract. However, joint use as a military fortress and civilian prison was problematic.
After the destruction of important fortifications by the withdrawing Napoleonic army in 1809, the fortress lost its military importance. The whole fortress Spielberg became from 1820 a civilian prison. Under Franz Joseph I, the complex was again a military prison and barracks in 1855.
Fountain
The castle fountain is of medieval origin. In the years 1716 to 1717 its original depth was increased from 39 m to 112 m so that the ground was below the water level of the river Svratka in Old Brno. The upper part of the fountain is made of natural stone and bricks, while the lower part consists only of rocks. The average diameter is 3.5 m. The water level is 90 m, so that a water volume of more than 1,000 m³ is available. At the bottom of the well are two horizontal shafts with a length of 17 and 26 meters respectively.
By the Napoleonic troops, the well together with the destruction of the castle in 1809 was filled up but in the subsequent years it was exposed again. Above the well was a fountain house with a wooden wheel driven by convicts to bring up the water. This house was only abolished in the years 1939-1941 by the German Wehrmacht. The last cleaning work in the years 1990 and 1991 was connected with research, 308 m³ of material from the well were cleared. Interesting finds, which are exhibited in the Museum of the Castle, have been exposed. Among them is a skeleton of a soldier from the end of the 19th century. But his identity is unknown.
Near the well is a Baroque cistern, where the rain water of the surrounding roofs was caught.
Since 1990, on the rear wall of the castle courtyard, there is a clockwork consisting of 15 bells weighing between 16 kg and 220 kg.
Casemates
The casemates are laid out as a two-storey military dugout (for 1,200 men) with attached dungeon system below the castle buildings. From 1746 to 1749 Franz Freiherr von der Trenck was imprisoned here, his mortal remains are located in the crypt of the Capuchin monastery in Brno's old town. In 1783 Emperor Joseph II had the upper storey of the northern casemates rebuilt into a prison. In 1784 by imperial decree in the casemates of the lower story the sentenced for life have been quartered. In addition to this, 29 single-cells made of planks were built, in which the prisoners were forged to the wall. Spielberg became the most feared prison in the country. It was considered safe from outbreaks. Even the widely spread narrative of the only one escape from Spielberg prison castle of the very famous Czech robber Babinsky is just one of his numerous personal legends. This was spread by himself as a former Spielberg prisoner with the number 1042 after his release. In 1785, the upper storey of the southern casemates was also converted into a prison. From 1824 there was the Italian poet Silvio Pellico as a political prisoner. After his release in the autumn of 1830 he wrote his memoirs "Le mie prigioni", which made Spielberg's prison known throughout Europe.
In 1855, Emperor Franz Joseph I converted the former civil prison into a military prison. With the opening of the new penitentiary in Karthaus, 1857 the first felons were transferred there. In 1880 the casemates were made available to the public.
During the Second World War, the German army settled in in Spielberg. This led to considerable structural changes at the casemates in order to make them usable as a shelter. The Gestapo, in turn, also instituted here a notorious prison, where prisoners of resistance and opponents often died.
Today
During the years 1987 to 1992 comprehensive renovation work took place. The state of the eighteenth century was to be restored, so the time before the conversion of the fortress to the notorious dungeon of the Josephine period.
In addition to a tour of the dungeon and the casemates there are changing exhibitions and installations on the city and history with numerous documents in the castle's premises. A restaurant and a view tower in the inner part of the castle complex offer a nice panorama on parts of Brno. In the courtyard of the castle there are regularly concerts in the summer.
Festung Špilberk
Die Festung Spielberg (tschechisch: Špilberk) befindet sich im südmährischen Brünn in Tschechien. Sie hat eine wechselvolle Geschichte als mittelalterliche Burg, Festung, Kaserne und Gefängnis hinter sich. Heute befinden sich in ihr Ausstellungen und ein Restaurant. Die Anlage ist ein kultureller Ort und Ausflugsziel der Brünner Bevölkerung. Durch ihre Lage auf einer Anhöhe bietet sie einen guten Blick über die Stadt.
Lage
Grundriss der Festung Spielberg
Die ehemalige Festung Spielberg liegt auf einer Erhebung (282 m ü. NN) oberhalb der Altstadt von Brünn.
Geschichte
Festung
Die Burg Spielberg wurde in der zweiten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts angelegt und machte im Laufe der Jahrhunderte einige Wandlungen durch. Anfangs war es die gotische Burg der böhmischen Könige und Sitz des mährischen Markgrafen. Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts wurde sie zu einer mächtigen Barockfestung erweitert. Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts bildete sie mit der damals ebenfalls befestigten Stadt Brünn das bedeutendste Bollwerk in Mähren.
Die 1742 fertiggestellten Kasematten waren ein wichtiger Teil der Festung. Sie sollten Schutz für ein 1200 Mann starkes militärisches Corps bieten. Letztlich waren hier jedoch nur Depots für militärisches Material untergebracht. Im Jahr 1783 wurde dort auf Beschluss Kaiser Josephs II., im Zuge der Reform des österreichischen Gefängniswesens ein Gefängnis für die gefährlichsten und schlimmsten Verbrecher eingerichtet. 1785 wurde auch der südliche Teil der Kasematten in ein Gefängnis umgebaut und leopoldinischer Trakt genannt. Die gemeinsame Nutzung als militärische Festung und ziviles Gefängnis war allerdings problematisch.
Nach der Zerstörung wichtiger Festungsteile durch das abziehende napoleonische Heer im Jahre 1809 verlor die Festung ihre militärische Bedeutung. Die gesamte Festung Spielberg wurde ab 1820 zu einem zivilen Gefängnis. Unter Franz Joseph I. wurde die Anlage 1855 wiederum ein Militärgefängnis und Kaserne.
Brunnen
Der Burgbrunnen ist mittelalterlichen Ursprungs. In den Jahren 1716 bis 1717 wurde seine ursprüngliche Tiefe von 39 m auf 112 m erhöht, sodass der Grund unter dem Wasserspiegel des Flusses Svratka in Alt-Brünn lag. Der obere Teil des Brunnens ist aus Naturstein und Ziegeln gemauert, während der untere Teil nur aus Felsen besteht. Der durchschnittliche Durchmesser beträgt 3,5 m. Der Wasserstand beträgt 90 m, sodass ein Wasservolumen von über 1.000 m³ zur Verfügung steht. Am Grund des Brunnens befinden sich zwei horizontale Schächte mit einer Länge von 17 bzw. 26 Metern.
Durch die napoleonischen Truppen wurde mit der Zerstörung der Burg 1809 auch der Brunnen zugeschüttet, in den Folgejahren allerdings wieder freigelegt. Oberhalb des Brunnens befand sich ein Brunnenhaus mit einem Holzrad, das von Sträflingen angetrieben wurde, um das Wasser heraufzuholen. Dieses Haus wurde erst in den Jahren 1939–1941 durch die deutsche Wehrmacht abgetragen. Die letzten Reinigungsarbeiten in den Jahren 1990 und 1991 waren mit Forschungen verbunden, dabei wurden 308 m³ Material aus dem Brunnen geräumt. Dabei wurden interessante Funde freigelegt, die im Museum der Burg ausgestellt sind. Unter diesen findet sich auch ein Skelett eines Soldaten aus dem Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Seine Identität ist aber unbekannt.
Nahe dem Brunnen liegt noch eine barocke Zisterne, in der das Regenwasser der umliegenden Dächer aufgefangen wurde.
Seit 1990 befindet sich an der Rückwand des Burghofes ein Glockenspiel, das aus 15 Glocken mit einem Gewicht zwischen 16 kg und 220 kg besteht.
Kasematten
Die Kasematten sind als zweistöckiger militärischer Unterstand (für 1.200 Mann) mit angeschlossener Kerkeranlage unterhalb der Burggebäude angelegt. 1746 bis 1749 wurde hier Franz Freiherr von der Trenck inhaftiert, seine sterblichen Überreste befinden sich in der Gruft des Kapuzinerklosters in der Brünner Altstadt. 1783 ließ Kaiser Joseph II. das obere Geschoss der nördlichen Kasematten in ein Gefängnis umbauen. 1784 wurden per kaiserlichem Dekret in den Kasematten des unteren Stockwerks die lebenslang Verurteilten einquartiert. Dazu entstanden 29 aus Brettern gezimmerte Einzelzellen, in denen die Gefangenen angeschmiedet wurden. Spielberg wurde zum gefürchtetsten Gefängnis des Landes. Es galt als ausbruchsicher. Selbst die landesweit verbreitete Erzählung von einem einzigen, jemals von der Burg Spielberg gelungenen Gefängnisausbruch des damals sehr berühmten tschechischen Räuber Babinsky ist nur eine seiner zahlreichen persönlichen Legenden. Diese wurde von ihm selbst als ehemaligem Spielberg-Häftling mit der Nummer 1042 nach seiner Entlassung verbreitet. 1785 wurde auch das obere Geschoss der südlichen Kasematten zum Gefängnis umgebaut. Ab 1824 war dort der italienische Dichter Silvio Pellico als politischer Gefangener. Nach seiner Freilassung im Herbst 1830 verfasste er seine Erinnerungen „Le mie prigioni“, die das Gefängnis von Spielberg in ganz Europa bekannt machten.
1855 wandelte Kaiser Franz Joseph I. das bisherige Zivil-Gefängnis in ein Militärgefängnis um. Mit der Eröffnung des neuen Zuchthauses in Karthaus wurden 1857 die ersten Schwerverbrecher dorthin überführt. 1880 wurden die Kasematten der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht.
Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs richtete sich die deutsche Wehrmacht in Spielberg ein. Diese führte an den Kasematten erhebliche bauliche Änderungen durch, um sie als Schutzkeller nutzbar zu machen. Auch die Gestapo richtete hier ein – wiederum berüchtigtes – Gefängnis ein um dort Widerstandskämpfer und Gegner einzusperren, die dort oftmals verstarben.
Heute
Während der Jahre 1987 bis 1992 fanden umfangreiche Renovierungsarbeiten statt. Es sollte der Zustand des ausgehenden 18. Jahrhunderts wiederhergestellt werden, also die Zeit vor dem Umbau der Festung zum berüchtigten Kerker der josephinischen Zeit.
Neben einem Rundgang durch den Kerker und die Kasematten befinden sich wechselnde Ausstellungen und Installationen zur Stadt und Geschichte mit zahlreichen Dokumenten in den Räumlichkeiten der Burg. Ein Restaurant und ein Aussichtsturm im inneren Teil der Burganlagen bieten ein schönes Panorama auf Teile Brünns. Im Hof der Burg finden im Sommer regelmäßig Konzerte statt.
On December, 4th, 2013, was the anniversary of the death of "White Rose"-member Susanne Zeller-Hirzel. With this pic, that shows an encounter between the "White Rose" member Susanne Zeller- Hirzel and me, I would like to remember to this courageous resistance fighter against the Nazis.
Susanne Zeller- Hirzel was born on August 7, 1921 in Untersteinbach. Her father, Ernst Hirzel , was a pastor of the Evangelical Martin Luther Church in Ulm and so Susanne Hirzel grew up in the Danube city. There, the pastor's daughter got to know the Scholl family and became friend of their daughter Sophie. And Sophie Scholl prompted then her girlfriend Susanne Hirzel for resistance against the Nazis. Susanne Hirzel's brother Hans was already at that time a member of the student resistance group "White Rose". And it was Hans Hirzel who asked his sister Susanne to distribute in Stuttgart envelopes with the fifth leaflet of the "White Rose" in mailboxes. Susanne Hirzel met her brother's desire and so she came to the "White Rose".
After Susanne Hirzel 's good friend Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans Scholl were caught while distributing leaflets of the "White Rose" at Munich University and Roland Freisler sentenced the Scholl`s to death at the first "White Rose" process, the siblings Hirzel were also denounced and put they to the second "White Rose " trial before the People's Court . However, Hans and Susanne Hirzel were lucky and escaped with imprisonment while her co-defendants Kurt Huber, Willi Graf and Alexander Schmorell were sentenced to death by Roland Freisler.
Susanne Zeller- Hirzel has impressively written their history as a resistance fighter in her book "From Yes to No. A Swabian Youth 1933-1945 ", thus leaves future generations an important witness post.
I met Susanne Zeller- Hirzel first in person in 2010. We met up again and made very nice conversation with each other. It was always impressive to me when Susanne Zeller- Hirzel told of their nocturnal distribution campaign of the "White Rose" leaflets in Stuttgart. Of course also unforgettable, that my family and I were at her 90th Birthday family celebration on August, 7th, 2011 and that Susanne Zeller- Hirzel personally participated also at the birthday celebration of my wife Ingrid and me on October 22nd, 2011.
It was really a sad moment when I learned that Susanne Zeller- Hirzel had died on December 4th, 2012.

24 year-old Charly Pitman, of Brislington, Bristol, was found guilty of riot following a trial at Bristol Crown Court in April. On 7th July 2022 she was sentenced to three years in prison.
During her trial jurors heard how she positioned herself at the front of the crowd challenging police officers as they attempted to separate them from the neighbourhood police station.
They were shown footage of her acting aggressively towards the officers, striking their shields and helmets, and were told her actions caused them and others to fear for their safety.
Judge Julian Lambert said Pitman made a conscious decision not to leave the riot and encouraged others to attack police officers. He added jurors decided quickly there was ‘no basis for self-defence’, as Pitman had claimed during the trial.
Including Pitman, those jailed for offences committed during the riot have been imprisoned for a combined total of 74 years and nine months.
I am Delara Darabi 20 years old, sentenced to death. It is three years now that I try to defend myself using colors, forms and words.
These paintings are my swear to what I have not done. So maybe colors would return me back into life.
From behind the walls, I say hello to you, who has come to see my paintings.
(Iraj’s translation of part of how Delara introduces herself, which is printed on the “Delara Darabi Exhibition in Tehran Oct. 20-25” portrait)
Some of her paintings are done using only her fingers, nails, and a black color in the dark days of her loneliness in prison. She calls herself and prisoner of colors. She knows colors since she was 4 years old and lost her connection when she was 17.
In her first trial, she claimed that she killed her cousin so she could save her boyfriend’s life, since she was only 17 years old at that time and they would not execute her because of her age.

Life Sentence, Asexuals, Underdog, Duck Duck Goose, and Face First at the Sports Palace. Sunday July 12, 1987.
Miika Juhana Tenkula (6. maaliskuuta 1974 Oulu – 18. helmikuuta 2009 Muhos) oli suomalainen muusikko, joka tunnetaan vuosina 1989–2005 toimineen Sentenced-yhtyeen soolokitaristina.

After Sentenced disbanded, Tenkula withdrew from publicity. He died of a sudden heart attack caused by genetic heart disease at his home in the town of Muhos 18 February 2009. His former band members remembered him by publishing an obituary in the official Sentenced webpage on 22 February 2009.
Sentenced mourned the loss of Miika Tenkula, "a dear friend, a truly remarkable artist and musician, and the very soul of what used to be Sentenced. Rest now, brother – in your music and our hearts you will live forever".
An open memorial was held in the Club Teatria in the city of Oulu on 18 April 2009. In the music containing ceremony was also show Buried Alive - concert movie, that was filmed in the same location in 2005, where Miika Tenkula and the Sentenced held their last concert before disbanding. In the ceremony, music from Miika Tenkula's favourite artists was heard, but also cover versions from the Sentenced songs performed by various Finnish artists and bands.
Finnish melodic death metal band Insomnium's song "Weighed Down with Sorrow" from their 2009 album Across the Dark is dedicated to Tenkula. (Wikipedia)
