" Holy mother [expletives deleted]! The entire plan went to hell! Apparently trapping the creature in such a confined space only angered it. We unlocked the door andentered with no icident. Thats when all hell broke loose. As soon as the door shut behind us, the creature struck. Unfortunetly Dr Jones had entered first and was the creatures first choice. She barely had time to raise her firearm when it was on her. Her head erupted in a bloody rose as its teeth crackjed into her skull. Her screams will haunt me forever. I was stunned, thrown back. The sounds the creature made as it sucked the grey matter from her shatttered skull. I almost lost it, but was able to maintain.
I sound found my foorting again and used the creature feeding as the distraction needed. I charged in and struck with the plasma cutter blade.
The beast reared up from its meal, blood spraying from its manidbles as it hissed in rage and agony. Current sof blue-white electricity danced across its skin. Its body changed form, reverting to its original shape as the life was forced from it. Its hissing quieted and the creature fell to the floor, dark blood puring from what were probably its ears and the corners of itas mouth. It twitched for a few moments then fell still. I left the rifle embedded in its back and took several steps back, taking in the whole bloody scene. Good god. So much had happened, so much insanity, it is too much to bear..."

Geoffroy normally works with art formats like the EMERGENCY ROOM
to stimulate urgent expression by artist about today 's emergencies :
The art work can be asking about "The Execution of Emperor Maximilian "where Manet paint an " after excecution moment "
Is art always too late ?
Can art prevent accidents ?
Does art always comes after the shooting or can art sometimes prevent it ?
Can artists have an impact ?
Could it be an art that could prevent and stop accidents not only witness and express about them ?
Thierry Geoffroy/ Colonel will be exhibiting in the museum Kunsthalle Mannheim from october 2018 part of the exhibition Konstruktion der Welt .Kunst und Ökonomie
Constructing the World: Art and Economy 1919-1939 and 2008-2018
10/12/18 to 02/03/19
Ten years after the peak of the global financial crisis in 2008, which profoundly shook the economic systems of America and Europe and had a lasting effect on present-day life, this topical exhibition is the first to illustrate the economy’s dramatic influence on art and to make global comparisons, demonstrating these in an analysis of two separate eras. Economic phenomena in the classical modernism of the 1920s and 30s are not only explored by focusing on art from the German Weimar Republic, the Soviet Union, and the United States, but also juxtaposed with artists of the present day.
Curatorial team: Dr. Eckhart Gillen (Berlin), Dr. Ulrike Lorenz, Dr. Sebastian Baden
Project Lead: Dr. Inge Herold, Assistence: Lisa Valentina Riedel, M. A. mult., Elisabeth Bohnet, M.A.
How does contemporary art reflect the world of work today? The catalogue for the second part of the exhibition Constructing the World at the Kunsthalle Mannheim takes a look at this question. The focus of it is primarily on artistic positions of the past decade that deal with the social, political, and economic effects of the most recent economic crisis after 2008. The works address and interrogate new production conditions and developments on the labor market as well as political conflicts. The accompanying publication provides fascinating insights into the diverse artistic positions.

Küçük Ayasofya Cami Sokak, between Sultanahmet, Cankurtaran & Kadırga
(527-536)
According to a legend, during the reign of Emperor Justin I (518-527), Justinian, his nephew, was accused of plotting against the throne and was sentenced to death. The execution, however, was avoided after Saints Sergius and Bacchus appeared before the Emperor, vouching for Justinian's innocence. When Justinian acceeded to the throne in 527, one of his first decisions was to build a church in honour of the two saints that had saved him.
The church was constructed in the area between the Palace of Hormisdas, where Justinian and his wife Theodora had lived, and the Church of the Saints Peter and Paul. The latter church, located to the north, was a typical palace chapel and a typical Roman basilica. The new church originally served the Monophysites of Constantinople, who, favoured by Theodora, had settled in the Palace of Hormisdas after the imperial couple had moved to the Great Palace. In the 6th century, the two churches had the same narthex and atrium. Some time later the Church of Saints Peter and Paul was abandoned, while the Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus became the katholikon of a monastery.
The church, an octagon inscribed in an irregular quadrilateral, can be seen as the oldest surviving church that attempts to combine the basilica plan with a dome. The umbrella dome that the church is surmounted by is divided into 16 compartments and is lit by 8 windows. The dome is supported by 8 heavy piers which form an octagon. The space between the piers is spanned by marble columns, with two columns in each bay except for the bema. A two-storey gallery, unique in Istanbul, circles the central space. The columns of the lower gallery carry an architrave, while those of the upper gallery are interlaced with small arches. Columns at the four corners are arranged to form semi-circular niches. These niches are crowned by semi-domes on the upper gallery level.
The imperial sponsorship is reflected in the superb sculptural decoration of the church. The columns are folded, a Byzantine derivation of the classical Corinthian capital, where the emphasis on the corners and on the centers of the four sides are retained, but the plastic articulation of acanthus leaves and volutes is replaced by a uniform web of leaves and tendrils. Many capitals still bear the monograms of Justinian and Theodora. Even more interesting is the thick entablature, where egg-and-dart and bead-and-reel motifs can be seen, together with an acanthus rinceau, a carved frieze and a bracketed cornice. The frieze bears an inscription in 12 Greek hexameters – a dedication to Justinian, Theodora and Saint Sergius (Saint Bacchus has been omitted for some reason). The lower side of the architrave is decorated with bold patterned carvings.
The exterior of the original church shows the use of pure brick masonry. The double-story narthex in the west of the structure is a later addition, but it probably still dates back to the 6th century, as can be judged from its brickwork. Some walls of the church, showing alternating bands of brick and stone, must be from a later period, erected possibly between the 7th and 10th centuries.
The Church of the Saints Sergius and Bacchus was built a short time before Hagia Sophia. There are a number of similarities between the two churches, justifying the nickname Little Hagia Sophia of the older church. Its combination of the elements of a longitudinal basilica and a centralised building is similar to that of Hagia Sophia, as are the molding of space and the manipulation of light. Little Hagia Sophia also has some imperfections, such as different lengths of the sides of the octagon, low proportions and the clumsiness of the arches. Its architectural plan was repeated, in a more masterly way, in the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna (completed in 547).
The church was turned into a mosque in 1506-1513. The interior walls were plastered over and the windows were modified. The porch was added as well before the narthex.
in Rizal Park, (Luneta), Manila. The place where GOMez, BURgos, and ZAmora were executed on 17th February 1872
The equestrian Statue of King Charles 1 hasn't moved but everything around it has. The pillory is on the site of the execution of the Regicides and is seen from a window of the 'Golden Cross' which was a coaching Inn and later a hotel, the site is now occupied by South Africa House. The 'Golden Cross is the scene of an unfortunate decapitation in the 'Pickwick Papers'.
Lady Jane Grey, ruler for just nine days, is buried in the grounds of the Tower, as are Henry VIII's wives Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard.
Ten executions memorial - Tower of London by Brian Catllng . This is a permanent memorial, unveiled at the Tower of London on September 4 2006. The circular memorial focuses on the ten executions that have taken place on Tower Green, within the Royal castle’s walls. It is intended to remember all those executed over the years at the Tower - providing a focal point for contemplation, reflection and remembrance.
Near the Chapel Royal, the memorial is made of two engraved circles with a glass-sculpted pillow at its centre, the larger circle of dark stone bears a poem - written by the artist Brian Catling - around its rim, 'Gentle visitor pause awhile : where you stand death cut away the light of many days : here jewelled names were broken from the vivid thread of life : may they rest in peace while we walk the generations around their strife and courage : under there restless skies.'
The upper glass circle bears the engraved names of the ten famous and not so famous individuals executed there: William, Lord Hastings 1483, Queen Anne Boleyn 1536, Margaret, Countess of Salisbury 1541, Jane Viscountess Rochford 1542, Queen Katherine Howard 1542, Lady Jane Grey 1554, Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex 1601, Highlander Farquhar Shaw 19 July 1743, Highlander Samuel Macpherson 19 July 1743, Highlander Malcolm Macpherson 19 July 1743.
Symbolically reflected are the arches of the chapel where the remains of the executed ten still lie.

Sarah Bryson - Author - "13th February 1542 .... in the early morning Catherine Howard, fifth wife of Henry VIII was executed upon Tower Green. After a small speech a blindfold was placed around Catherine’s eyes and then with the help of her ladies she knelt and put her head on the block and her life ended with one clean strike of the axe. Eustace Chapuys wrote to Charles V of Catherine’s death stating that at:
“about 7, those of the Council except Suffolk, who was ill, and Norfolk, were at the Tower, accompanied by various lords and gentlemen, such as Surrey (Norfolk's son and the Queen's cousin), and she was beheaded in the same spot where Anne Boleyn had been executed.”
A large number of enterprises are adopting automation systems and solutions like warehouse execution software to bring in higher efficiency, productivity, and safety within their distribution centers.

Execution Rocks Lighthouse is located in Long Island Sound. Legend has it that the British used to chain prisoners to the rocks at low tide and wait for them to drown as the tide came in. The lighthouse was built in the 1840's and recently handed over to a non-profit for restoration. It is a 30 minute boat ride away from the shore, and has no electricity or running water, plus it is rumored to be haunted.

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.

Here's a repeat of a capture from 2009...I love bringing it, and the story, back again as it brings back the wonderful memory of the visit with some old friends that I seldom see...and came back with this shot!
"Mr. Tom T. Gobble, it is my pleasure to inform you that a last minute phone call from the Governor of the State of Alabama has granted you a permanent stay of execution..."
LOL...actually this guy was never subject to becoming Thanksgiving Dinner...he and several other turkeys are the beloved pets of my friends Gladys and David and they would never let any harm come to them...they are part of their family! Many thanks to them for giving me the opportunity to have this fine fellow added to my photostream for Thanksgiving! : )

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?
