" 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..."

History and judicial organization
The Revolution of 1848 marked also the Austria jurisdiction of that time in a substantial manner with manifestations that act to the present day. The with this associated judicial organization brought then - here particularly interesting - most of all four court levels or court types: District Courts, Higher Civil Courts (Landesgerichte), Higher Regional Courts (Oberlandesgerichte) and a Supreme Court. To those four kinds of courts, the procedures of first instance - differentiated by sum in dispute or seriousness of the offense - and the review of judicial decisions on appeal were distributed in a manageable manner. That in the course of this the (only) Supreme Court already at the time of the monarchy could be found in Vienna is understandable, that it remained there from 1918 until today (apart from the period of National Socialism) is known.
The next level below the Supreme Court was and is formed by the High Regional Courts. In 1855 there were in the whole Empire nineteen, today there are four in Austria, namely in Vienna, Linz, Innsbruck and Graz. They act primarily as appellate courts. Next come the so-called courts of first instance. This generic term was necessary because there were, besides the regional courts also district courts - partly later - special courts for commercial, youth, labor and social welfare cases or should be. Of all these existed at the time of the monarchy, of course, already a significant number, in the area of present-day Austria were originally seventeen, today there are twenty after the Juvenile Court in Vienna had been dissolved in 2003 (Federal Law Gazette 30/2003). The district of the Higher Regional Court of Graz accounts for the Regional Court for Civil Matters and the National Criminal Court in Graz, the Klagenfurt Regional Court and the Regional Court of Leoben. The lowest level eventually was formed by the district courts. "Lowest" in this context is of course no rating but merely an expression of the position in the structure of jurisdiction. In Styria there were initially 45 district courts, including the district of the Provincial Court of Leoben 22 (Reich Law Gazette 339/1849). Those were merged over time. District courts are now still in Schladming, Liezen, Murau, Judenburg, Mürzzuschlag, Bruck/Mur and Leoben. Aside from court consolidations, modifications of the district sizes, responsibility shifts caused by changes in the value limits and also renamings there were naturally in the past 160 years repeatedly also suggestions or ideas for actual substantive changes of this Court System. For example, there was talk of dissolving the Courts of First Instance and to distribute their agendas to the district courts. Or these courts should be strengthened and therefore waived of the Higher Regional Court. Nothing of it gained majority, the from the mid-19th Century stemming basic system remained established and is valid until today .
THE REGIONAL COURT LEOBEN
After creating the legal basis for the new judicial organization, it was now about to implement them. It arose the familiar question of "where" and "with whom". The decision for Leoben was already on 25th July in 1849 published (Reich Law Gazette 339/1849) and also the top management for Upper Styria was very soon decided. As of 28/12/1849 the previous "Council of the Styrian state law" Dr. Heinrich Perissutti was appointed President of the Provincial Court of Leoben. He took on 18 February 1850 in Graz his oath of office and actually was taking up activities on 4 April 1850. He moved - then granted - to Leoben, there is evidence that he had lived at Unteren Platz, house number 121 (today Timmerdorfer lane 2). The accommodation question for the court in Leoben also could be settled successfully in a short time. This should move into the former Dominican monastery (now Land Registry 60327, Leoben register number 103), a building that was owned by the city of Leoben and the judiciary has been left to everlasting time for its own purposes (Treaty of 11 August 1853). This had to be adapted but only for the new task and it did take some time but, that is to say early summer 1856.
The aforementioned modifications of the judicial organization were in the first years in Leoben area relatively noticeable. Firstly, the High Regional Courts of Graz and Klagenfurt were merged with headquarters in Graz (1852 enacted and 1854 implemented) and on the other hand it came to a "downgrating" as to the label of the Provincial Court Leoben to a "district court" (19 January 1853).
The First World War, the downfall of the monarchy, the First Republic and the Corporate State brought in Upper Styria as to judicial organization only one significant, lasting change. The district courts Aflenz, Mautern and Obdach were merged with neighboring courts (Federal Law Gazette 187/1923, 276/1923). With the seizure of power by the Nazis in 1938 but went down the country's independent judiciary. Justice solely "In the name of the German people" should be distributed and probably to some extend it had a different status than before. Pure terminologically, the county court became a Higher District Court, the district courts have mutated into local courts (Journal of Laws for the country Austria 350/1938). What changed further was the area of the district. The Ausseerland was separated from Styria and the Gau (administrative district) of "Upper Danube" and thus to the district of the Higher District Court in Wels assigned.
After the end of the Second World War it came to the restoration of the on 13 March 1938 existing judicial organization, Bad Aussee, therefore, returned to the district of the Court of Leoben (State Gazette 47/1945). There were other changes. The most significant over time was probably that the1946 set up labor courts, which had replaced the earlier commercial courts, together with the arbitration courts of the Social Insurance and the mediation courts on 1 January 1987 merged in the ordinary jurisdiction (Federal Law Gazette 104/1985).
As already indicated, the terminology of the Leoben Court of Justice was subject to alterations. Beginning of 1849 had been created among other things the "Higher District Court" Leoben. With Order of 19 January 1853 (Reich Law Gazette 10/1853) to "District Court" downgraded, the Nazis transformed the term from 13 August 1938 (Journal of Laws for the country of Austria 350/1938 ) into "Higher District Court". The Court Organization Act of 3 July 1945 (State Gazette 47/1945) re-established the "District Court", until on the first of March 1993 the time came that the most original denomination "Higher District Court" was again brought back to life (Federal Law Gazette 91/1993). Without that during the whole period of the responsibilities and tasks anything really notheworthy would have changed, the Court in Leoben got three different names in five time periods.

Van Nelle Factory, Rotterdam The Netherlands – Architects: Brinkman and Van der Vlugt – masterplan 1914 – 1923; design 1923 – 1925; execution 1925 - 1931
The Van Nelle Factory is one of the highlights of the Modern Movement in the Netherlands. The impressive glass building is not only an example of functionalism and rational production, but also improved working conditions for workers in the twentieth century. The restored building is now one of the most important monuments of Rotterdam
The Firm Van Nelle was selling coffee, tea, tobacco and snuff in Rotterdam since 1782. The entirely new complex consists of the actual factory building, an office building, a warehouse, expedition and storage depots along the canal, a boiler house and several workshops. A cafeteria and sports fields were also to be found in the area. The factory building consists of three elongated in height sloping parts separated by stairwells. Tobacco has eight, coffee five and tea factory three floors. The staircases house the washing and changing facilities, toilets and lifts, separated for men and women. This allowed for continues factory floors and easily adjustable layouts. By using a concrete frame the non-load bearing facades could be made almost entirely of glass with only thin steel frames. Light and air could penetrate deep into the building. The expedition and storage strip along the water is connected to the main building by overhead conveyor bridges. Another sky bridge connects the plant to the office at the entrance of the complex. The office consists of a strip with two layers of offices and a large open space with glass walls and glass meeting rooms. The office follows the curve in the road. During construction, a tea room on the roof of the tobacco factory was added.
In 1942, low-rise warehouses designed by Brinkman and Van den Broek were realized. In 1974 at the back of the building, a new distribution centre was built. In 1951 other products such as pudding and chewing gum made their entrance. After a takeover by the American Standard Brands in 1989, Van Nelle competitor Sara Lee / Douwe Egberts, sold the complex in 1995, so it could finally get the status of national monument. Using the name Van Nelle Design Factory, the complex started a new life. The factory complex was restored by Wessel de Jonge and Claessens Erdmann. The transparency of the factory floor was maintained as much as possible by the new climate walls on the inside. The new inner facades are made of aluminium and therefore clearly identifiable as new elements. On the floors office spaces of various sizes have been realized for the creative sector. The ground floor is used for exhibitions and conferences. The adjacent buildings have been restored and are used by a number of architectural firms.

Strategic Speed: Mobilize People, Accelerate Execution
Authors: Jocelyn R. Davis, Edwin H. Boswell and Henry M. Frechette, Jr.
Publication Date: June 1, 2010
Description:
Only 30 percent of strategic initiatives are successfully executed. Of those that are, most CEOs view the process as too slow. What’s going on? And how can you accelerate execution in your company?
Most leaders try to speed things up by changing processes or installing new technologies. But better processes and systems won’t remove the barriers. Instead, you need to unleash three people factors—clarity (understanding the goal), unity (collaborating across work groups), and agility (adapting quickly).
Strategic Speed provides real-world examples—from companies as diverse as Tata Sky, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Ameriprise, and Fender Guitars—showing these practices in action. And it’s packed with tools and assessments for diagnosing where your execution efforts are in trouble and choosing specific actions for accelerating results in your firm.

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.”
Police stand guard at the Baltimore Penitentiary October 27, 1933 on the eve of the execution of Euel Lee for the murder of a white family two years earlier.
Lee was executed by hanging shortly after midnight. Police continued to guard Lee’s body until it was buried in an unmarked grave to prevent Lee’s attorney Bernard Ades from retrieving the body in accordance with Lee’s written wishes.
Lee’s case was taken up by the Maryland Communist Party and they waged a public campaign with demonstrations, letters and telegrams while his attorney Bernard Ades fought tenaciously in the courts. He succeeded in obtaining several changes of venue that thwarted lynch mobs and overturned Maryland’s longstanding practice of barring African Americans from juries.
Despite the efforts, Lee was executed October 28, 1933 and the state refused to hand the body over to Ades despite Lee’s written wishes. Lee was then buried in an unmarked grave.
Disbarment proceedings were brought against Ades and he was defended in Maryland courts by Charles Hamilton Houston and Thurgood Marshall—the first white man in Maryland defended by black lawyers. Ades escaped disbarment with a reprimand.

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.
A commemorative plaque commemorating the largest group execution in the U.S. Those executed were rumored to be part of a "terrorist"group. They were really early labor organizers.
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.

Бёзан Хирасава "Жизнь и обычаи айнов"
Омский музей изобразительных искусств
Эта акварель единственная из 12 представленных работ не имеет отношение к жизни айнов. В том числе, художник поставил именно на не только свою печать (красный штампик на всех картинках), но и собственноручно расписался - эти иероглифы расположены на трёх столбах графики.
Японцы любого сословия подчинялись строгим ритуалам, а закон сурово карал за преступления. Казнь самурая показана со всей театральностью действа.
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! : )
Simon Fraser, 11. Lord Lovat (ur. ok. 1667, zm. 6 kwietnia 1747 w Londynie) – szkocki jakobita, wódz klanu Fraser. Z powodu swej nieuchwytności zwany "lisem" (Fraser the Fox)
Od momentu gdy władzę przejął Wilhelm II Orański aż do roku 1714 przebywał we Francji. Podczas pierwszej rewolty jakobickiej w 1715 popierał Jerzego I, w czasie drugiego (1745) poparł Pięknego Księcia Charliego (Karola Edwarda Stuarta). Po klęsce powstania (bitwa pod Culloden) wojska brytyjskie spaliły jego zamek w Dounie. Po trudach ucieczki , został w końcu złapany na wyspie na jeziorze Loch Morar. Odesłano go do Londynu, gdzie przeciw niemu zeznawał inny jakobita John Murray z Broughton. Wyrok śmierci zapadł 19 marca 1747 roku. Egzekucja miała miejsce (była to ostatnia dekapitacja na Tower Hill) 19 kwietnia. Ostatnie słowa skazańca były sentencją z Horacego: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.
