Saddam's execution was certain, but it seemed an act of revenge, his death is not a milestone reached in the war over iraq, but an un-justified attempt by US led forces to prove themselves right and the most powerful. It was war not for anything else but "OIL", i am very sure the US army would stay in iraq for many more years to come, again acting like a godfather to people of iraq.
US believed that saddam has weapons of mass destruction, which they never found.. the fact is that they themselves had what they were searching for. Bush and Blair are the ones responsible for messing up with asia, this mess would turn this world more hostile, even more worst place than now. Actions are bound to have opposite reactions.. and US can not defy this rule. Fucking each others lives is not going to lead us to some peaceful wonderland, but we all are digging our own graves.
vietnam, afghanistan, iraq.. all got victimised.. now the focus is on iran and north korea... i dont expect to see any change in the behaviour of leaders who fight this so called "war against terrorism" , that is just name.. it is infact a war to gain oil and power... saddam was just a pawn in this large one-sided game.
May his soul rest in peace... ... ...

Chavoret Jaruboon, Thailand's last gun executioner.
"His (Sudjai, the rapist of his step daughter and the murderer of his step son) was my last execution and I thoroughly resented having to do it.
"I knew hat the advent of lethal injection was just around the corner, plus it had been a year since the last execution. So I thought I was in the clear and that shooting people was behind me now. I was very disappointed when I was told to prepare for this one. I had hoped there would be some kind of amnesty, anything that might prevent this shooting from taking place. But nothing happened.
"I was now beginning to tire of people introducing me to strangers as 'the executioner'. I was also tiring of inappropriate reactions like, 'Hey, so this is what a legal killer looks like.' Did they honestly think I was going to laugh at that?
"There was nothing remarkable about my last execution. I didn't speak with the prisoner and there were no scenes of terror or regret from him. For the last time I retrieved the gun and the bullets from the armoury. I cleaned them thoroughly and checked the box of bullets. Each shell had to be inspected for cracks.
When I was satisfied I brought them to my office in the Foreign Affairs Section and locked them in my desk drawer. Then I signed off and headed home, as usual, for a a bath and a nap. Tew (wife) was the only one who understood how I was feeling; she had also believed that I had executed my last criminal a year ago.
"I returned to the prison a couple of hours after and took the guns down to the execution room where I set them up on their stands and waited glumly. I saw Sudjai on my way in when he was getting his photograph and fingerprints taken. His sullen face didn't betray any emotion as he complied with his escort's directions. Well, that made it a little easier for me...
"He arrived at the execution room just after 5pm and was tied to the cross at 5.15pm. At 5.21pm on 11 December 2002 I fired eight bullets, killing him instantly."

Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rizal_Monument
The Rizal Monument (original title: Motto Stella, Latin, "guiding star") is a memorial in Rizal Park in Manila, Philippines built to commemorate the executed Filipino nationalist, José Rizal. The monument consists of a standing bronze sculpture of Rizal, with an obelisk, set on a stone base within which his remains are interred. A plaque on the pedestal's front reads: "To the memory of José Rizal, patriot and martyr, executed on Bagumbayan Field December Thirtieth 1896. This monument is dedicated by the people of the Philippine Islands".
The perimeter of the monument is guarded continuously by the Philippine Marine Corps’ Marine Security and Escort Group, the changing of the guard having become a daily ritual. About 100 m (330 ft) north-northwest of the monument is the exact location where Rizal was executed, marked by life-size dioramas depicting his final moments.
An exact replica of the Rizal Monument can be found in Madrid, Spain at the junction of Avenida de Las Islas Filipinas and Calle Santander.
I did get the shot that I had been wanting in Comstock Park for a while. Next time, I need to take care of some of that brush.
José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda was a Filipino nationalist and reformist. He was the most prominent advocate for reform in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era, which made him one of the Philippines greatest national heroes. He was wrongly accused of being the leader of the Katipunan Revolution. This false charge led to his execution on December 30, 1896. December 30th is now celebrated as Rizal Day in the Philippines.

This image is taken from the book 'Notes on the Authentic Portraits of Mary Queen of Scots'. The book was published by John Murray of Albemarle Street, London W in 1903. The book is based on the researches of the then late Sir George Scharf - rewritten in the light of new information obtained by Lionel Cust. The work was instrumental in finalising and fixing which contemporary and near contemporary images were of Mary and which were not. The conclusions are still used to this day.
This image therefore has been taken by me from a book I purchased in 2000 and the copyright does not belong to me. In view of the extreme age of the publication I believe them to be in the public domain and am including them here so that they can be seen - as the book is not readily available.
Whilst the underlying images are in the public domain - some work has been done by me to convert the images as scanned into what you see here. I am therefore asserting my copyright in the elements that I have amended. If you would wish to use the images - please contact me and I will probably grant permission to use them in view of the age of the images.
Recent experiences with use of other scanned images on Wikipedia spring to mind.
Isolated inside its own fenced courtyard, the small building is known simply enough as the execution chamber. Between the years of 1937 and 1989, 39 or 40 (depending on the source) inmates were put to death inside the structure. All of the executions, save one, were conducted in the state's gas chamber where the sealed unit was filled with cyanide gas. The sole exception was the prison's last execution on January 26, 1989.

In those days, the new year under the old Julian calendar began on 25th March (the date of the Immaculate Conception -exactly 9 months before Christmas).
1st January only became the start of the new year in England when the Gregorian calendar was adopted in 1752.
Hence the alternative years given on the plaque 1586/87 - in the 16th century, Queen Mary's execution took place in the penultimate month of 1586 but by our calendar, it took place in the second month of 1587.
"The bombers ... said that according to Islamic law beheading would be the right method of execution" (Aljazeera, 24 Oct 2008)
To advocate or apply capital punishment is more degrading to humankind than even the most horrific of criminal acts. All Australians, no matter how tragically effected, should call for abolition of capital punishment worldwide.
Another day spent floating on Long Island Sound! The nice thing about being on a boat in a snow storm is no fear of sliding off the road into the median. Driving an hour and a half to get to the boat is another thing...
And yet again, this is the closest I've ever been to New York City. =)

Henri Regnault (1849-1871)
Summary Execution under the Moorish Kings of Grenada
1870
Oil on canvas
H. 305; W. 146 cm
_______________________________________
Henri Regnault was born in Paris in 1843 and killed in 1871 in one of the last battles of the Franco-Prussian war. Yet the young man had already made a name for himself in the Paris art scene. After winning the Prix de Rome in 1868, he was the first not to spend the three compulsory years in the Italian capital that went with the prize but obtained permission to discover other cultures. He went to Spain, whence he sent to the Salon of 1869 the gigantic painting General Juan Prim, also in the Musee d'Orsay, then briefly to North Africa, bringing back a number of astonishing canvases, flooded with light.
Taking his inspiration from local legends, he painted this Summary Execution under the Moorish Kings of Grenada in 1870. Against an architectural background based on the Alhambra in Granada and infused with an orange glow, Regnault has painted a scene of decapitation. The low angle and vigorous rising composition give the main character an imposing presence.
The executioner's detached attitude and commonplace gesture contrast with the foreground in which the blood dripping down the steps joins the severed head to the body. The colours also take part in this opposition because the executioner's caftan, which picks up the orange tones of the background, contrasts with the victim's green and black clothing.
The painting was acclaimed by the critics and bought by the State from Regnault's heirs, in 1872, to honour the artist's memory in the Musée du Luxembourg, Paris.

THE FUTURE OF IPOS
A long-anticipated stampede of unicorns rushing into the market has begun. Will this year’s jam-packed IPO calendar be a last hurrah for major market debuts? And will more upstarts follow the lead of Spotify and Slack in sidestepping underwriters through direct listings?

Clinica del Pie
Clinica del Pie is the success story of Roberto Mejia and his wife, Zayda. Roberto spent several years working at a foot care clinic, and later decided to start his own clinic. In six year Roberto went from a small location with a single char and limited resources to operating three stores. Roberto had never operated a business before, and in 2007 went to Agora for advice. Now Roberto is buying new equipment, developing a marketing strategy, and improving its management process. Roberto aspires to one day turn Clinica del Pie into a national brand.
The monument was built 300 years after the events of the English Reformation and commemorates the Bishop of Worcester Hugh Latimer and Bishop of London Nicholas Ridley, who were burned nearby on October 16, 1555 after having been convicted of heresy because of their Protestant beliefs after a quick trial. It also commemorates the former Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer, who was similarly executed (after having watched his colleagues' painful deaths while imprisoned in a nearby tower and the Vatican having permitted his degradation from holy orders in February) on March 21, 1556.
The actual execution site is close by in Broad Street, just outside the line of the old city walls. The site is marked by an iron cross sunk in the road.
