Another 4 executions by puppet administration in Iran through last two days.
They prove not only their unfaithfulness to the
god but also they believe in Darkness.
"During his consulship the royal family made an attempt to regain the throne, firstly by their ambassadors seeking to subvert a number of the leading Roman citizens in the Tarquinian conspiracy. Amongst the conspirators were two brothers of Brutus' wife Vitellia, and Brutus' two sons, Titus Junius Brutus and Tiberius Junius Brutus. The conspiracy was discovered and the consuls determined to punish the conspirators with death. Brutus gained respect for his stoicism in watching the execution of his own sons, even though he showed emotion during the punishment. His colleague Collatinus was removed from office for his lack of harshness on the conspirators."

"The Royal Palace of Amsterdam in Amsterdam (Dutch: Koninklijk Paleis van Amsterdam or Paleis op de Dam) is one of three palaces in the Netherlands which are at the disposal of the monarch by Act of Parliament. It is situated on the west side of Dam Square in the centre of Amsterdam, opposite the War Memorial and next to the Nieuwe Kerk.
"The palace was built as a city hall during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century. The building became the royal palace of King Louis Napoleon and later of the Dutch Royal House.
"The structure was built as the Town Hall of the City of Amsterdam 'facing the landing wharfs along Damrak, which at that time would have been busy with ships'. The town hall was opened on 29 July 1655 by Cornelis de Graeff, the mayor of Amsterdam. The main architect was Jacob van Campen, who took control of the construction project in 1648.
"After the patriot revolution which swept the House of Orange from power a decade earlier, the new Batavian Republic was forced to accept Louis Napoleon, brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, as King Louis I of Holland in 1806. After holding his court at The Hague and Utrecht, Louis Napoleon moved to Amsterdam, and converted the Town Hall into a royal palace for himself.
"The King of Holland did not have long to appreciate his new palace. He abdicated on 2 July 1810; his son, Napoleon Louis Bonaparte, then succeeded him, as King Louis II, before the Netherlands were annexed by France ten days later. The palace then became home to the French governor, Charles François Lebrun.
"Prince William VI (son of Prince William V of Orange), returned to the Netherlands in 1813, after Napoleon fell from power, and restored the palace to its original owners. After his investiture as King William I of the Netherlands, however, Amsterdam was made the official capital of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands (the seats of government being Brussels and The Hague). The new king realised the importance of having a palace in the capital, and the Town Hall again became a royal palace."

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?

"The bell will toll, the curtain rises, and you will see the culprit pay the penalty!"
At the Museé Mechanique in San Francisco, CA
Public Executions in Nottingham used to take place on Gallows Hill. This hill was up the Mansfield Road in the area now occupied by St Andrew's Church / Church Rock Cemetery. From 1831 to the 1860's Public Executions of those sentenced to death took place on the front steps of Shire Hall on High Pavement. The scaffold used to be constructed over the main steps at the front of the building. The stone square plugs a gap in the stonework for one of the beams on the scaffold.
On 8th August 1844 William Saville aged 29 was hung here. He lived in the nearby town of Arnold. He murdered his Wife and three children using a razor in Colwick Woods. There was such revulsion at his crime that thousands crammed into High Pavement to watch him hang at 8am prompt. The numbers of spectators was so high that some reports recount that the doors of some of the nearby buildings were close to being burst open.
A panic set in the crowd. (Pickpockets have been blamed). The crowd moved down High Pavement towards the Weekday Cross. When the crowd reached the top of Garners Hill people fell down the steps. 13 people were suffocated to death and hundreds more injured.
There used to be a memorial to those that were suffocated and crushed on Garner's Hill that day. However the memorial has gone. Garner's Hill too has now gone as a result of the Nottingham Contemporary being built.

The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was printed in England by Gale & Polden Ltd. of London, Aldershot and Portsmouth.
On the divided back of the card they have printed:
'Tower of London.
Execution Block and Axe.
The axe has been in the Tower
since 1687.
The block is that on which Lord
Lovat was executed on Tower
Hill in 1747'.
The Tower of London
On the 23rd. September 1940, during the Blitz, high-explosive bombs damaged the castle, destroying several buildings and narrowly missing the White Tower. After the war, the damage was repaired and the Tower of London was reopened to the public.
A 1974 Tower of London bombing in the White Tower Mortar Room left one person dead and 41 injured. No one claimed responsibility for the blast, but the police suspected that the IRA was behind it.
Gale & Polden Ltd., 1892-1981
The origins of this large printing and publishing firm began in 1866 when James Gale opened a book shop in Chatham. Seven years later he began printing books, and by 1877 he took on Ernest Polden as an apprentice.
They worked well together, moving to a larger establishment in Aldershot in 1888 and joining together to form a Limited Partnership with an office in London in 1892.
Much of the work they produced was military-related, which led them to open a third office in Portsmouth to help capture business from the Royal Navy.
In 1901 they began publishing postcards in halftone lithography. These cards also largely dealt with military themes, as they produced series on Regiments, Naval Ships, Admiral Nelson, humorous naval nicknames, and more. They also produced view-cards, but even many of these scenes were somehow related to the military.
In 1963 they were purchased by the Purnell Group, and after a number of further buy-offs, they finally shut down their printing facilities in 1981.
Execution here is pretty wretched. Whether the real problem is fabrication or design, I couldn't say. Some of the panel intersections are out of alignment (and plane) by 3 cm or more. Odd that the majority of reviewers missed this - maybe critics no longer bother to visit the buildings they write about.
