We got a new printer for the box office. So, really, we had to get rid of the old one. Quoting office space in the process.

The work of Hrair Sarkissian (SY) "Execution Squares" is hosted in the Teaching Room of the prison within the frame of the 21st Photobiennale.
Thessaloniki, May 2010
Lady Jane Grey was Queen of England for just 9 days until she was driven from the throne and sent to the Tower of London to be executed.
Jane became queen after the death of her cousin, Edward VI in 1553. As a Protestant, Jane was crowned queen in a bid to shore up Protestantism and keep Catholic influence at bay.
The plan didn't work. Jane's claim to the crown was much weaker than Edward VI's half sister Mary. Mary, a Catholic, had popular support and soon replaced Jane as queen.
Lady Jane Grey was executed at Tower Green on 12 February 1554. She was just 16 years old.
In this painting, she is guided towards the execution block by Sir John Brydges, Lieutenant of the Tower. The straw on which the block rests was intended to soak up the victim's blood. The executioner stands impassive to the right and two ladies in attendance are shown grieving to the left.
The painting was exhibited in Paris at the city's famous Salon in 1834, where it caused a sensation.

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.

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.

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.
Morris dance is a form of English folk dance usually accompanied by music. It is based on rhythmic stepping and the execution of choreographed figures by a group of dancers, usually wearing bell pads on their shins. Implements such as sticks, swords and handkerchiefs may also be wielded by the dancers. In a small number of dances for one or two men, steps are performed near and across a pair of clay tobacco pipes laid across each other on the floor.
Before the English Civil War, the working peasantry took part in morris dances, especially at Whitsun. In 1600 the Shakespearean actor William Kempe morris danced from London to Norwich, an event chronicled in his Nine Daies Wonder (1600). The Puritan government of Oliver Cromwell, however, suppressed Whitsun Ales and other such festivities. When the crown was restored by Charles II, the springtime festivals were restored. In particular, Whitsun Ales came to be celebrated on Whitsunday (Pentecost), as the date coincided with the birthday of Charles II.

Morris dancing continued in popularity until the industrial revolution and its accompanying social changes. Four teams claim a continuous lineage: Abingdon (their morris team was kept going by the Hemmings Family), Bampton, Headington Quarry, and Chipping Campden. Other villages have revived their own traditions, and hundreds of other teams across the globe have adopted (and adapted) these traditions, or have created their own styles from the basic building blocks of morris stepping and figures.
