Between 1944 and 1962, more than 1000 prisoners were executed in this room and later buried in mass graves outside Vilnius. Objects found in these mass graves are now on display within the glass cases located across the floor of the room. The Museum of Genocide Victims was established in 1992 after being used as a prison and detention centre during the Russian occupation from 1940 to 1991. The KGB Prison, located in the basement of the former courthouse, now looks the same as it did when it was vacated.

In 1998 we were trying to get together a treatment for a documetary about electric chairs. This was a title sequence concept of the film frame getting jammed in the projector gate and burning. Of course "Electric Chair Documentary" was just a working title. We probably would have called it "Asses of Fire".
"Man Made".
A- Helmet: Visualizing a helmet concept through three shots series, inspired by The “DNA” which contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms.DNA Structure was used as a metaphor underlying the structural rules that govern all construction.
New helmets are having the same structure but with different compositions according to the human usage, that’s to say a code that defines a usage.

White painted outlines mark the spots where the Ceauşescus' fell, and a volley of bullet holes pepper the wall – apparently, the Ceauşescus were shot too quickly for the event to be captured live on video, so many of the holes seen were actually fired after they had been executed.
The traitor fortress of Mone is under siege. The Astra Militarum of the 11th Antari Rifles Stand against the rebels, desperately seeking a way to break the siege and claim victory. When their captain refuses an order to advance in the face of devastating enemy firepower, it falls to Commissar Severina Raine to marshal the Antari forces and lead them on their dangerous mission.

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.
يا زمان العجايب وش بعد ما ظهـر
كل ما قلت هانت جـد علـمٍ جديـد
إن حكينا ندمنـا وإن سكتنـا قهـر
بين قلبٍ عطيب وبيـن راس عنيـد
لو تفيد المدامع كـان أسيّـل نهـر
مير كثر التوجّد والدمـع مـا يفيـد
اصبر ايام واشهر واتصبـرّ دهـر
وان حصلّ لي مناتي جيت لوني بعيد
ارجي الله واراقب كل طالـع شهـر
يجلي الهم عني أو عسى مـا يزيـد
يا غزالٍ فضوح الزّين عنه أشتهـر
في عيوني ملاك ووسط قلبي وحيـد
مخطي اللي يشبّه وجنتـك بالزهـر
الزهر ما له رماحٍ تصيب وتصيـد
لو جحدت المحبة سقم حالـي جهـر
مير ما كل قلبٍ ياصل اللـي يريـد
I took this photo at the refugee march in central London on 12th September 2015 -- 'Solidarity with Refugees' aka 'Refugees Welcome Here,' organised by groups and organisations including the Syria Solidarity Movement, the Refugee Council, Refugee Action, Amnesty International, Stand Up to Racism, the People's Assembly Against Austerity and the Stop the War Coalition.
Today was a great day for the millions of us who want to see a better world, and are fed up with the existing power structure -- the election, by a landslide, of Jeremy Corbyn as the new Labour Party leader, and the march in central London, which was attended by around 100,000 people in solidarity with the refugees fleeing Syria and other countries in numbers not seen since the Second World War.
The existing power structure presides over a hard-hearted and increasingly unequal vision of the UK, in which the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, austerity is cynically used by the Tories to try and destroy the state provision of almost all services, and the refugee crisis is sidelined -- and all this by a government that, although it has provided significant financial aid, is only accepting 20,000 refugees, over five years and on a temporary basis, and is now gunning for war, which will only create more refugees, and trying to justify that through the disturbing extrajudicial execution of two British citizens in Syria via an RAF-led drone attack.

The death sentence handed down to (The execution of) British drug smuggler Akmal Shaikh and the requests for clemency from the British government and other groups has highlighted the conflicting attitudes towards both the death penalty and the defense of “diminished responsibility” in China and the UK.
The has set off a torrent of discussion on-line with thousands of comments left at ifeng.com - a popular Chinese website that has been reporting the case.
The vast majority are of the opinion that it would not only be unfair but a serious challenge to Chinese law if the government spared the life of a convicted drug smuggler. These people insist there should be no sympathy for drug smugglers as heroin is one of the most dangerous drugs on the planet. They say it harms people, society and families – and the problems it causes cost the government billions a year. In addition there’s a widespread feeling that the way China runs its legal system is nothing to do with outsiders. They say this man was in China when he committed the crime and it should be up to the Chinese courts to punish criminals as they see fit.

Detail of the east window at Heather by Burlison & Grylls, c1884.
St John the Baptist's church at Heather is 14th century in origin but aside from the tower was largely rebuilt during a major restoration in 1846. There is an attractive post-reformation memorial in the chancel and three windows by Burlison & Grylls.
I don't think this church is normally open outside of services.

Chợ Lớn is a quarter of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). It lies on the west bank of the Saigon River, having Bình Tây Market as its central market. Cholon consists of the western half of District 5 as well as several adjoining neighborhoods in District 6 and District 11. The quarter is long inhabited by Chinese people, and is considered the largest Chinatown in the world by area.
The Vietnamese name Chợ Lớn literally means "big" (lớn) "market" (chợ). The Chinese name (and original name) of Chợ Lớn is 堤岸 (pronounced Tai-Ngon in Cantonese and Dī'àn in Mandarin, which means "embankment"). The Vietnamese reading of the Chinese name is Đê Ngạn, but this is rarely used. Vietnamese speakers exclusively use the name Chợ Lớn, while Chinese speakers (both inside Vietnam and in China) are the only users of the original Chinese name.
In 1778, the Hoa (Chinese minority of Vietnam) living in Biên Hòa had to take refuge in what is now Chợ Lớn because they were retaliated against by the Tây Sơn forces for their support of the Nguyễn lords. In 1782, they were again massacred by the Tây Sơn and had to rebuild. They built high embankments against the flows of the river, and called their new settlement Tai-Ngon (meaning "embankment" in Cantonese).
Chợ Lớn was incorporated as a city in 1879, 11 km from Saigon. By the 1930s, it had expanded to the city limit of Saigon. On 27 April 1931, Chợ Lớn and the neighboring city Saïgon were merged to form a single city called ‘Sài Gòn–Chợ Lớn.’ The official name, however, never entered everyday vernacular and the city continued to be referred to as ‘Sài Gòn.’ ‘Chợ Lớn’ was dropped from the city's official name in 1956, after Vietnam gained independence from France in 1955.
During the Vietnam War, soldiers and deserters from the United States Army maintained a thriving black market at Chợ Lớn, trading in various American and especially U.S Army-issue items. This was the area, near the Quan Âm Pagoda where photojournalist Eddie Adams took his famous execution photograph. Four Australian journalists were also killed in Chợ Lớn during the Tết Offensive in 1968.
Today, Chợ Lớn especially attracts many Mainland Chinese and Taiwanese tourists.

Auschwitz I, Poland, An execution grounds next to Block 11.

Pictured above is the prison building in Auschwitz I, known as Block 11, located inside a walled courtyard. It was here that prisoners from Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II (Birkenau) were brought for punishment for what the Nazis considered serious offenses, such as sabotage in the Auschwitz factories or attempting to escape. It was also where political prisoners from outside the camp were housed while they awaited trial in the courtroom of the Gestapo Summary Court which was also in this building.

Congress’ Role in the Making and Execution of National Security Policy in the Trump Era
President Obama and the Republican Congress were usually at odds over national security policy. With a Republican in the White House now, will the President and Congress see eye to eye on threats and their solutions, or will differing institutional pressures and perspectives keep the respective ends of Pennsylvania Avenue apart? And, will the congressional investigations of Russia’s attempt to influence the presidential election end with a bang or a whimper? However the investigations conclude, what impact will they have on the relationship between the two branches?
