" 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..."

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.

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.”
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.

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.

Казнь.
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..."
