execution of my brilliant brother's even more brilliant idea !

 

An old Nickelodean type machine that boasted you would see a realistic excecution. The gates opened, the little wooden figures stood perfectly still while music played. At the end, the floor dropped and one wooden figure fell through the floor and was hanged. It was totally lame and awesome at the same time.

You'd think this isn't too playable. I did, was I wrong! I can't stop playing, it just make sit such a gritty and dark game! The original had top notch atmosphere, but this is a whole new level. My little brother came over and saw me playing this, he asked me "What movie is that?!" And I can see where it's coming from, even if the graphics per se aren't the best, the shaders just make it look so life-like. The color grading and the soft dof especially on the lights makes it look like actual pictures sometimes. I don't even know where this'll get in the end, but I can't stop playing! One hour of gameplay, 70 images, trimmed to this, still too many, but I can't hold myself!

The execution wall between blocks 10 & 11 at Auschwitz - the area is entered in silence in respect of the lives lost in this & the blocks next to it - the sadness, darkness was so evident (for me) in this space ....

Jorge Pineda, hailed as the King of Filipino Illustrators, was also a worthy painter who specialized in two subjects: the simple pleasures of Filipino country life and the significant historical event. He was an ardent patriot and a devoted Rizalist who styled himself after our national hero.

 

The critic Eric Torres described him as “a free-thinker and an anti-cleric.” He would frequently rail against the friars for engineering the execution of Rizal and bluster about the banning of the reading of the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo in Catholic schools.

 

One of his favorite pastimes—apart from long walks—was fencing. It was a sport that entranced the ilustrado gentlemen of the time, from Rizal to the Luna brothers, and the pioneer art collector, the late Don Alfonso Ongpin. (Don Alfonso would become Pineda’s fencing partner.) It is no surprise therefore that Pineda would capture this most quintessential and defining moment in our national history.

 

This painting, based on the single most famous photograph of Rizal’s demise, is made even more startling since it brings to life the taut colors and brooding atmosphere of that somber morning. Pineda himself was seventeen years old in 1896 and, by one account, was among the crowd on that fateful day. His prodigious memory for detail coupled with his reputation for meticulous research and his fine hand as an illustrator make this a priceless work of historical import.

 

Pineda’s The Execution of José Rizal captures the poignant details of that remarkable occasion. Rizal stands, arms bound at the elbow, a chistera (or derby) on his head. There was a gruesome choreography to his death. First, the Filipino troops were massed on three sides, the better to give the impression that Rizal was to die at the hands of his own countrymen. Immediately in front of Rizal was a drum corps. These men were instructed to play as loud as possible to deliberately drown out Rizal’s voice should he try to address the crowd. (The corps had jauntily played the Spanish national anthem on the way to the killing field.)

 

The account of one eyewitness, Hilarion Martinez, adds further details: When Rizal was near the center of the quadrangle, the mayor de la plaza, a colonel, announced, “En el nombre del Rey, el que se levante la voz a favor del reo sera ejecutado.” (In the name of the King, he who raises his voice in favor of the criminal will be executed.)

 

The drum corps then withdrew and were replaced by a troop of Filipino soldiers. Massed behind the Filipinos on every side was a phalanx of Spanish soldiers, ready to take up arms should the Filipinos fail to do their duty and execute Rizal. There were civilian spectators, too, and we see their white shirts in the distance.

 

Rizal was accompanied by two Jesuit priests, Fr. Estanislao March and Fr. Jose Villaclara, as well as his defense counsel, Lt. Luis Taviel de Andrade. The other men in white were also Spanish officers.

 

“With visible effort,” Martinez says, “Rizal raised his right hand which was tied and took off his hat.”The moment captured in this painting was just before that split second, corresponding in almost balletic detail to Christ’s last breath on the Holy Cross. “Amidst the silence, Rizal moved his head very slowly up and down, his lips moving as if in prayer.”

 

He continues, Then the commanding officer by means of his saber signaled the firing squad to aim. Then the saber dropped and there was a simultaneous crack of rifle fire that shattered the stillness of the morning. José Rizal wheeled in one last effort and toppled forward with a thud, his face towards the sky and his derby hat thrown ahead. He had fallen in the direction of the bay.

 

At the center of the painting is a stark, leafless tree that conveys the isolation of Rizal and the utter sadness of his death. As did Rizal at the moment of his death, it reaches plaintively to the sky in an eloquent plea for freedom and justice.

 

Martinez continues, Suddenly, as if from nowhere, a small dog appeared and ran in circles around Rizal’s fallen body, barking and whimpering. This incident would much later be the subject of our talk in our quarters. Some of my comrades were quick to conclude that it was a premonition of a coming misfortune.

 

That pale dog is captured standing near the Spanish soldiers in the painting. Indeed, it would bode the end of the Spanish empire in the Philippines.

 

Martinez proceeds, Then the capitan militar de la sanidad (medical officer) stepped forward, knelt before the fallen man, and felt his pulse. Looking up, he beckoned to a member of the firing squad to come forward and give the final tiro de gracia (coup de grace), another shot done at close range. I thought I saw a faint haze rise from Rizal’s coat, but it might have been a wisp of the morning mist. Seeing the body before me, I felt weak.

 

The officers began to show animation again. They fell in formation and marched to the tune of the Spanish national air, the Paso Doble Marcha de Cadiz.

 

As was customary in past executions, we filed past the body to view it for the last time. When we were commanded “eyes left,” I did not shut my eyes as I had at the sight of the several reos (convicts) whose heads were blown off by rifle fire. I wanted to see the face of the man for one last time. Rizal lay dead on the dewy grass. The day had started and I realized that I was gazing on the face of the great Malayan; that I was witnessing history in the making.

Birth of Christ. Window erected 1929 by Daniel Thomas Kenny & his wife Mary Teresa nee Cash in memory of their parents Michael & Bridget Kenny and Patrick & Mary Cash, created by Brooks, Robinson & Co, Melbourne. Church foundation stone 18 Feb 1912 by William Edward Roberts of “Oakvale”, architect Conrad & Conrad, opened 1 Sep 1912 on land given by T & C Nugent, hall built 1984.

 

“a beautiful set of stained glass windows, presented to St. Canute's Church by Mr. and Mrs Daniel T. Kenny, of Lisdoonvarna, Streaky Bay, and erected during last week by Mr. O. M. Willcock. The windows, given in memory of the parents of the donors, are richly colored and toned. . . The scenes depicted on the windows . . . the Birth of Christ, the crucifixion, and Christ amongst the doctors in the temple. . . The design and execution of the windows is the work of Australian artists of the Australian firm of Messrs. Brooks, Robinson & Co., Melbourne.” [West Coast Sentinel 26 Jul 1929]

 

“KENNY.—On May 11, 1892, at Balla McKenny, Colton, Michael Kenny, eldest son of the late John Daniel Kenny, in the 83rd year of his age; a colonist of fifty years. R.I.P.” [Southern Cross 20 May 1892]

 

“Mr. Kenny had reached the ripe old age of eighty-three, having been born at Six-Mile Bridge, County Clare, Ireland, on December 24, 1809. Mr. Kenny was the son of a tenant farmer, whose descendants had resided there as far back as there is any traditional account. Mr. Kenny was well known in connection with every movement in favor of the right of the tenant farmers in Ireland. . . [He] sailed out of Cork Harbor on November 5, 1841, in the ship Branken Moor, of London, commanded by Captain David Smith, Dr. Hughy, surgeon, and a full complement of immigrants, and landed in Launceston on April 6, 1842. After a short stay in Tasmania Mr. Kenny came to South Australia, and settled at Morphett Vale, when he married the widow of Daniel Herreen, who survives him. There are also four sons and one daughter living. One son is one of the leading hotel keepers in Broken Hill, the other three are farmers and graziers in this district, and the daughter is married to Mr. Thos. P. Cash. . . Mr. Kenny resided in Morphet Vale for several years, when he and the late Mr. Ignatius O'Sullivan were the chief movers in building the Catholic Church there. . . Mr Kenny removed to Sheaoak Log in 1855, where he was closely connected with Church matters at Gawler and Greenock. When he moved to Yorke's Peninsula he strongly advocated building a church at Yorketown and Warooka, and he saw both successfully built. It was chiefly through his exertion that the church was built and opened free of debt in Colton. . . On May 17, 1865, he and other well-known farmers formed the Light Farmers' Club at Freeling. . .

General consensus was that the book was good for large company process execution with a Midwest mentality. But in the Silicon Valley, emphasis is on innovation and practice.

Paul Delaroche - The Execution of Lady Jane Grey, 1833 at National Gallery London England

The last execution performed at the Tower of London was Josef Jakobs, a German spy who parachuted into Cambridgeshire in 1941 but was spotted and captured at his landing point. He'd broken his ankle on impact, so was seated for his death by firing squad in August 1941. The damage to the chair was caused by the seven Lee Enfield .303 bullets that struck him in the chest.

History

The Coughton estate has been owned by the Throckmorton family since 1409. The estate was acquired through marriage to the De Spinney family.[2] Coughton was rebuilt by Sir George Throckmorton, the first son of Sir Robert Throckmorton of Coughton Court by Catherine Marrow, daughter of William Marrow of London.[2] The great gatehouse at Coughton was dedicated to King Henry VIII by Throckmorton, a favorite of the King.[2] Throckmorton would become notorious due to his almost fatal involvement in the divorce between King Henry and his first wife Catherine of Aragon.[2] Throckmorton favoured the queen and was against the Reformation. Throckmorton spent most of his life rebuilding Coughton.[3] In 1549, when he was planning the windows in the great hall, he asked his son Nicholas to obtain from the heralds the correct tricking (colour abbreviations) of the arms of his ancestors' wives and his own cousin and niece by marriage Queen Catherine Parr[3] (see gallery drawing). The costly recusancy (refusal to attend Anglican Church services) of Robert Throckmorton and his heirs restricted later rebuilding, so that much of the house still stands largely as he left it.[3]

 

After Throckmorton's death in 1552, Coughton passed to his eldest son, Robert. Robert Throckmorton and his family were practicing Catholics therefore the house at one time contained a priest hole, a hiding place for priests during the period when Catholics were persecuted by law in England, from the beginning of the reign of Elizabeth I of England. The Hall also holds a place in English history for its roles in both the Throckmorton Plot of 1583 to murder Queen Elizabeth, and the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, although the Throckmorton family were themselves only indirectly implicated in the latter, when some of the Gunpowder conspirators rode directly there after its discovery.

 

The house has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1946. The family, however, hold a 300-year lease and previously managed the property on behalf of the Trust. In 2007, however, the house reverted to management by the National Trust. The management of the property is renewed every 10 years. The family tenant until recently was Clare McLaren-Throckmorton, known professionally as Clare Tritton QC, until she died on 31 October 2017.[4]

 

The house, which is open to the public all year round, is set in extensive grounds including a walled formal garden, a river and a lake.

Looking out from the walls of Nottingham Castle in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire. The castle is located in a commanding position on a natural promontory known as "Castle Rock", with cliffs 130 feet (40 m) high to the south and west.

 

There is some uncertainty whether a castle existed on the site before the Norman Conquest. If there was it would have been smaller and far less elaborate in design than the one that stood there afterwards.

 

The first Norman castle of a motte-and-bailey design, and was built in 1067, on the orders of William the Conqueror. This wooden structure was replaced by a far more defensible stone castle during the reign of Henry II, and was imposing and of a complex architectural design.

 

For centuries the castle served as one of the most important in England for nobles and royalty alike. It was in a strategic position due to its location near a crossing of the River Trent; and it was also known as a place of leisure being close to the royal hunting grounds at Tideswell and also the royal forests of Barnsdale and Sherwood Forest.

 

In 1194, a historic battle took place at Nottingham castle when the supporters of Prince John captured it. The castle was the site of a decisive siege when King Richard I, returned to England and besieged the castle with the siege machines he had used at Jerusalem.

 

The castle ceased to be a royal residence by 1600 and was largely rendered obsolete. At the start of the English Civil War, in August 1642, Charles I chose Nottingham as the rallying point for his armies, but soon after he departed, the castle rock was made defensible and held by the parliamentarians. Commanded by John Hutchinson, they repulsed several Royalist attacks, and they were the last group to hold the castle. After the execution of Charles I in 1649, the castle was razed to prevent its re-use.

 

After the restoration of Charles II in 1660, the present 'Ducal Mansion' was built by Henry Cavendish, 2nd Duke of Newcastle on the foundations of the previous structure. Despite the destruction of the keep and fortifications of the upper bailey, some rock cut cellars and medieval pointed arches survive beneath the mansion, together with a long passage to the bottom of the rock, commonly known as Mortimer's Hole.

 

After a time the mansion became a derelict shell until it was restored in 1875 by Thomas Chambers Hine, and opened in 1878 by the Prince of Wales, (later King Edward VII) as Nottingham Castle Museum, the first municipal art gallery in the UK outside London. The gatehouse of the medieval castle and much of the walling of the outer bailey was retained as a garden wall for the Ducal mansion.

 

The ducal mansion is still in use as a museum and art gallery. It houses most of the City of Nottingham's fine and decorative art collections, galleries on the history and archaeology of Nottingham and the surrounding areas, and the regimental museum of the Sherwood Foresters.
