During the height of the Galactic War, the Trade Federation has spread Republic forces thin. When the Jedi depended most on their clone army to support them during their conquest, they turned on them.

 

Man was it fun to build again. I'm spending so much time at my laptop either doing school work or games my eyes start to hurt a lot. I've found that building was just a very therapeutic way to have something fun to do without straining my eyes at a screen all the time. Because of this, I may be back building more sets and scenes :) Also this is my application for Dark Times 2.0, which you guys should totally check out. Custom clones may be a thing from me in the future, as well as I want to make more Purge stuff, so stay tuned!

I saw max's build and felt like trying it out. It came out okay but I don't feel like I did it enough I'm probably going to try for a larger build over fall break in a few weeks.

 

Is this any better Mark?

The Steilneset Memorial is a monument in Vardø, Norway, commemorating the trial and execution in the seventeenth century, a 410-foot-long wooden structure framing a fabric cocoon that contains Zumthor's installation; and a square smoked glass room, its roof 39 feet on each side, that contains the work of Bourgeois. Zumthor's structure is made from wooden frames, fabricated off-site and assembled to create sixty bays in a long line within which, suspended by cable-stays, is a coated fibreglass membrane that tapers at each end. Inside is a timber walkway, 328 feet long but just five feet wide, and along the narrow corridor are 91 randomly placed small windows representing those executed, each one accompanied by an explanatory text based on original sources. Through each window can be seen a single lightbulb, intended to evoke "the lamps in the small curtainless windows of the houses" of the region.century of 91 people for witchcraft. The memorial was designed by artist Louise Bourgeois and architect Peter Zumthor and was opened in 2011.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a national memorial centered on a colossal sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore (Lakota: Tȟuŋkášila Šákpe, or Six Grandfathers) in the Black Hills near Keystone, South Dakota, United States. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum created the sculpture's design and oversaw the project's execution from 1927 to 1941 with the help of his son, Lincoln Borglum. The sculpture features the 60-foot-tall (18 m) heads of four United States Presidents recommended by Borglum: George Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865). The four presidents were chosen to represent the nation's birth, growth, development and preservation, respectively. The memorial park covers 1,278 acres (2.00 sq mi; 5.17 km2) and the mountain itself has an elevation of 5,725 feet (1,745 m) above sea level.

 

The sculptor and tribal representatives settled on Mount Rushmore, which also has the advantage of facing southeast for maximum sun exposure. Doane Robinson wanted it to feature American West heroes, such as Lewis and Clark, their expedition guide Sacagawea, Oglala Lakota chief Red Cloud, Buffalo Bill Cody, and Oglala Lakota chief Crazy Horse. Borglum believed that the sculpture should have broader appeal and chose the four presidents.

 

Peter Norbeck, U.S. senator from South Dakota, sponsored the project and secured federal funding. Construction began in 1927 and the presidents' faces were completed between 1934 and 1939. After Gutzon Borglum died in March 1941, his son Lincoln took over as leader of the construction project. Each president was originally to be depicted from head to waist, but lack of funding forced construction to end on October 31, 1941.

 

Sometimes referred to as the "Shrine of Democracy", Mount Rushmore attracts more than two million visitors annually.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a large-scale mountain sculpture by artist Gutzon Borglum. The figures of America's most prominent U.S. presidents--George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt—represent 150 years of American history.

 

The Memorial is located near Keystone in the Black Hills of South Dakota, roughly 30 miles from Rapid City.

 

Each year, approximately three million tourists from all over the world visit Mount Rushmore to experience this patriotic site. Today, the wonder of the mountain reverberates through every visitor. The four "great faces" of the presidents tower 5,725 feet above sea level and are scaled to men who would stand 465 feet tall.

 

There are many amenities at the site including the Mount Rushmore Audio Tour, Lincoln Borglum Visitor Center & Museum, the Presidential Trail, Youth Exploration Area, Sculptor’s Studio, a parking garage with R.V. parking, pet exercise areas, , the Carvers Café, Memorial Ice Cream Shop, Gift Shop and the Mount Rushmore Bookstores.

Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, more commonly known as the Tower of London, is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London, England. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, separated from the eastern edge of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill. It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, and was a resented symbol of oppression, inflicted upon London by the new ruling elite. The castle was used as a prison since at least 1100, although that was not its primary purpose. A grand palace early in its history, it served as a royal residence. As a whole, the Tower is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. There were several phases of expansion, mainly under Kings Richard the Lionheart, Henry III, and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries. The general layout established by the late 13th century remains despite later activity on the site.

The Tower of London has played a prominent role in English history. It was besieged several times and controlling it has been important to controlling the country. The Tower has served variously as an armoury, a treasury, a menagerie, the home of the Royal Mint, a public records office, and the home of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom. From the early 14th century until the reign of Charles II, a procession would be led from the Tower to Westminster Abbey on the coronation of a monarch. In the absence of the monarch, the Constable of the Tower is in charge of the castle. This was a powerful and trusted position in the medieval period. In the late 15th century the castle was the prison of the Princes in the Tower. Under the Tudors, the Tower became used less as a royal residence, and despite attempts to refortify and repair the castle its defences lagged behind developments to deal with artillery.

The peak period of the castle's use as a prison was the 16th and 17th centuries, when many figures who had fallen into disgrace, such as Elizabeth I before she became queen, were held within its walls. This use has led to the phrase "sent to the Tower". Despite its enduring reputation as a place of torture and death, popularised by 16th-century religious propagandists and 19th-century writers, only seven people were executed within the Tower before the World Wars of the 20th century. Executions were more commonly held on the notorious Tower Hill to the north of the castle, with 112 occurring there over a 400-year period. In the latter half of the 19th century, institutions such as the Royal Mint moved out of the castle to other locations, leaving many buildings empty. Anthony Salvin and John Taylor took the opportunity to restore the Tower to what was felt to be its medieval appearance, clearing out many of the vacant post-medieval structures. In the First and Second World Wars, the Tower was again used as a prison, and witnessed the executions of 12 men for espionage. After the Second World War, damage caused during the Blitz was repaired and the castle reopened to the public. Today the Tower of London is one of the country's most popular tourist attractions. It is cared for by the charity Historic Royal Palaces and is protected as a World Heritage Site.

 

Sua Majestade, Palácio Real e Fortaleza , mais comumente conhecida como a Torre de Londres , é um histórico castelo na margem norte do rio Tamisa em Londres , Inglaterra. Encontra-se a London Borough of Tower Hamlets , separada da borda leste da City de Londres por um espaço aberto conhecido como Tower Hill . Foi fundada no final de 1066 como parte da conquista normanda da Inglaterra . A Torre Branca , que dá todo o castelo de seu nome, foi construída por William o Conquistador em 1078, e era um símbolo de opressão ressentido, infligida Londres pela nova elite dominante. O castelo foi usado como prisão, pelo menos desde 1100, apesar de que não era seu propósito primário. Um grande palácio no início de sua história, ele serviu como residência real. Como um todo, a Torre é um complexo de vários edifícios definidos dentro de dois anéis concêntricos de muralhas e um fosso . Havia várias fases de expansão, principalmente sob Reis Ricardo Coração de Leão , Henrique III e Eduardo I, nos séculos 12 e 13. O layout geral estabelecido pelo final do século 13 permanece, apesar atividade posteriormente no site.

A Torre de Londres tem desempenhado um papel de destaque na história do Inglês. Foi sitiada várias vezes e controlando tem sido importante para controlar o país. A Torre serviu várias vezes como um arsenal , um tesouro , um zoológico , a casa da Royal Mint , um escritório de registros públicos, e da casa das jóias da coroa do Reino Unido . Desde o início do século 14 até o reinado de Charles II , uma procissão será conduzida a partir da torre de Westminster Abbey na coroação de um monarca. Na ausência do monarca, o condestável da Torre está no comando do castelo. Essa era uma posição poderosa e confiável no período medieval. No final do século 15 o castelo foi a prisão dos Príncipes na Torre . Sob os Tudors , a Torre se tornou menos utilizados como residência real, e apesar das tentativas de reparar e reforce suas defesas do castelo ficou para trás desenvolvimentos para lidar com a artilharia.

O período de pico de utilização do castelo como prisão foi nos séculos 16 e 17, quando muitas figuras que tinham caído em desgraça, como Elizabeth I antes de se tornar rainha, foram realizadas dentro de seus muros. Esse uso levou à frase " enviado para a Torre ". Apesar de sua reputação duradoura como um lugar de tortura e morte, popularizado pelo século 16 propagandistas religiosos e escritores do século 19, apenas sete pessoas foram executadas dentro da torre antes da Guerras Mundiais do século 20. Execuções foram mais comumente realizada no famoso Tower Hill , ao norte do castelo, com 112 ocorrendo há mais de um período de 400 anos. Na segunda metade do século 19, instituições como a Casa da Moeda Real saiu do castelo para outros locais, deixando muitos edifícios vazios. Anthony Salvin e John Taylor aproveitou a oportunidade para restaurar a torre para que se sentia a sua aparência medieval , limpar muitas das vagas de pós-medievais estruturas. Nas Guerras Mundiais Primeira e Segunda, a Torre foi novamente usada como prisão, e testemunhou as execuções de 12 homens para espionagem. Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, os danos causados ​​durante a Blitz foi reparada eo castelo reaberto ao público. Hoje, a Torre de Londres é uma das atrações turísticas do país mais populares. Ela é cuidada pela caridade Palácios Históricos Reais e é protegida como Patrimônio da Humanidade .

"I can hear it" is a work of art in the Belgian seaside resort of Westende. It is a work of the Latvian artist Ivars Drulle from 2012.

 

Two horns, like old gramophones, listen to the sea. (...) The execution of the artwork is reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style of the nearby Grand Hôtel Bellevue and the time when the coast was still a prestigious recreational area.

 

The work may also refer to the 1930s, when, before the invention of radar technology, large horns were used to pick up the sound of approaching aircraft.

 

The municipality of Middelkerke bought it as part of the Beaufort04, the fourth installment of the triennial Beaufort - art along the Belgian coast.

"I can hear it" (Nederlands: Ik kan het horen) is een kunstwerk in de Belgische badplaats Westende. Het is een werk van de Letse kunstenaar Ivars Drulle uit 2012.

 

Twee hoorns, als van oude grammofoons, luisteren naar de zee. (...) De uitvoering van het kunstwerk leunt aan bij de art-nouveaustijl van het vlakbijgelegen Grand Hôtel Bellevue en de tijd toen de kust nog een prestigieuze recreatiezone was.

 

Het werk kan ook verwijzen naar de jaren dertig van de 20e eeuw, toen men, vóór de uitvinding van de radartechnologie via grote hoorns het geluid van naderende vliegtuigen probeerde op te vangen.

 

De gemeente Middelkerke kocht het aan in het kader van het Beaufort04, de vierde aflevering van de triënnale Beaufort - kunst langs de Belgische kust.

Beginning in 1942, the Natzweiler Struthof concentration camp also became a discreet execution site for many of those condemned to death. The firing squad was made up of the camps SS guards.

 

More than 460 people were known to habe been executed today, including at the crematorium. But the exact figure is difficult to establish. Men and women murdered at Natzweiler were not all registered in the camp and for the most part were murdered without a trace.

 

Some of the executions were carried out in the sand quarry. One of the most striking of these executions was that of thirteen young Alsatians from Ballersdorf. On the night of 12 to 13 February 1943, they had tried to pass into Switzerland to escape forced inscription into the German army. Arrested and sentenced to death after a summary trial, they were shot in the Natzweiler sand quarry on 17 February.

 

-------------------

La sablière, lieu d’exécution

 

A partir de 1942, le camp de concentration de Natzweiler-Struthof devient aussi un lieu discret d’exécution pour de nombreux condamnés à mort. Ce sont les gardes SS du camp qui forment le peloton d’exécution.

Plus de 460 exécutions ont été recensées à ce jour, y compris au crématoire. Mais le chiffre exact reste difficile à établir. Les hommes et les femmes assassinés à Natzweiler n’étaient pas tous immatriculés au camp et sont pour la plupart été assassinés sans laisser de traces.

 

Une partie des exécutions a lieu dans cette sablière. L’une des plus marquantes est celle de treize jeunes Alsaciens de Ballersdorf. Dans la nuit du 12 au 13 février 1943, ils avaient tenté de passer en Suisse pour échapper à l’incorporation de force dans l‘armée allemande. Arrêtés et condamnés à mort après un jugement sommaire, ils ont été fusillés le 17 février à la sablière de Natzweiler.

 

--------------------------

Exekutionsort Sandgrube

 

Ab 1942 wird das KZ Natzweiler-Struthof in aller Diskretion auch zu einem Ort, an dem zahlreiche zum Tode Verurteilten hingerichtet werden. Die Hinrichtungskommandos bestehen aus den SS-Wachen im Lager. Bis heute weiß man von über

 

460 Exekutionen, die auch im Krematorium stattfanden. Doch die genaue Zahl ist schwer zu ermitteln, denn die Männer und Frauen, die in Natzweiler ermordet wurden, waren nicht immer als Lagerinsassen erfasst, und die meisten von ihnen wurden in aller Heimlichkeit ermordet.

 

Ein Teil der Exekutionen fand in dieser Sandgrube statt.Traurige Berühmtheit erlangte die Hinrichtung von 13 jungen Elsässern aus Ballersdorf, die in der Nacht vom 12. auf den 13 Februar 1943 versucht hatten, sich der Zwangsrekrutierung durch die Deutschen durch Flucht in die Schweiz zu entziehen. Sie wurden gefasst und in einem Schnellverfahren zum Tode verurteilt und am 17. Februar in der Sandgrube in Natzweiler erschossen.

Metroline VWH2227 (LK66EOB) on Route N98 to Holborn, Red Lion Square.

The 98 and N98 were due to be cutback to Marble Arch in light of the Oxford Street pedestrianisation but with the project seemingly cancelled, both routes will still be continuing along Oxford Street to Holborn for the moment.

In April 1864 Fernando Maximiliano José María de Habsburgo-Lorena (1832-1867) became Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico. He was not some extremely conservative royalist, but rather a broad-minded thinker who naively sought to 'improve' Mexico politically and socially. He'd reckoned though without the influence of the USA which was still then caught up in their own Civil War. That war however ended and the US with heavy hand meddled in Mexican politics, backing the so-called liberal counter forces to Maximilian's haphazard social rule.

It was a messy time, and soon the emperor was captured (1867) and quickly executed by firing squad (see the inset painting by Édouard Manet [1832-1883]). Maximilian remained much-loved in Habsburg territories, and the German sculptor Johannes Schilling (1828-1910) was commissioned to fashion his statue (1875, inset above left). The statue had a moveable history but now graces the Piazza Venezia near our apartment.

Maximilian was the guiding force behind the construction and execution of Miramare Castle (1856-1860) just up the coast from Trieste; but as is clear from the above he and his wife, Charlotte of Belgium, enjoyed its pleasures for only a very short time.

PS I think it's rather curious to call the Emperor 'I', given that there was no successor.

Stoning

 

Execution by Stoning is a legal sentence for certain criminal activities but NOT only (it's used too for adultery, homosexuality and so one) of the Islamic countries governed by Sharia law, as:

Iran - the Iranian judiciary has officially placed a moratorium on stoning, although 2 sentences by stoning were carried out and there is more scheduled.

(they use above all Hanging as method of execution)

Sudan, Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, Somalia,

Iraqi Kurdistan and Indonesia.

in general people are buried till the waist or breast, waiting for the stones ….
