Soldiers from the Charlottesville-based Company C, 429th Brigade Support Battalion, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team practice medical evacuation procedures April 11, 2015, at Fort Pickett, Va. In the training scenario, medics arrived at location with simulated casualties with information cards that described their injuries, then the medics would determine priority of treatment and the steps necessary to stabilize their patients and load them for transport to receive additional medical assistance. The training is part of final preparation for the brigade-wide Multi-echelon Integrated Brigade Training exercise scheduled for June at Fort Drum, New York. The exercise will focus on developing leaders at the company level and below in preparation for possible future deployments and will train and evaluate company execution of offensive, defensive and security operations as well as train and evaluate staffs in their execution of mission command.

The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre (Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo in Italian), is an oval amphitheatre in the center of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of travertine limestone, tuff, and brick-faced concrete, it was the largest amphitheatre ever built at the time and held 50,000 spectators. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72 and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir, Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).
The Colosseum could hold an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 spectators during phases of its various renovations over the centuries, having an average audience of some 65,000; it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles (for only a short time as the hypogeum was soon filled in with mechanisms to support the other activities), animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.
Although substantially ruined because of earthquakes, thieves, and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is still an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome and is listed as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and also has links to the Roman Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession that starts in the area around the Colosseum. In 2018, it was the most popular tourist attraction in the world, with 7.4 million visitors.
The Colosseum is also depicted on the Italian version of the five-cent euro coin.
The historic center of Rome is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

The Rieme-Oostakker Place of Execution is the place in the Ghent district of Oostakker where 66 resistance fighters were executed by the Naxi occupation force between February 8, 1943 and August 24, 1944.
This memory is also kept alive the 20 resistance fighters who were killed on the execution site at Rieme . That site was destroyed in 1998 during the construction of the Kluizendok of Ghent Port.
The executions were carried out in secret and the victims were buried anonymously. Some of the resistance fighters killed in Rieme was found in a mass grave in Hechtel.
Moreover, there were German soldiers and Belgian criminals also shot. Because of these circumstances, it is still unclear how many people were killed. After the Liberation the mass grave was uncovered in Oostakker. The victims were identified and buried in their hometowns.
The crosses on the ground thus have a symbolic meaning. Nevertheless, the execution place is a cemetery since in 1952 the remains of 15 decapitated West Flemish political prisoners were moved here from their graves in Munich.
On the grounds is a railway carriage which carried hundreds of Belgians to concentration camps in Germany and Poland. In 1966 the execution place gained the status of a protected landscape.
This poor girl was caught eating eggs and so we either had to put it in solitary confinement or kill it, and as it was a table breed we decided to kill it.

I don't think he quite got the point across. Which one is more important, again? Ideas or execution?
Semana Santa (Holy Week) - Good Friday
On the morning of Good Friday, ceremonies commemorating "the finding", are held in Santa Cruz Xoxocotl'n and other temples. Later in the day, the faithful congregation celebrates the "the painful procession", "the seven words" and "the descent", which are held in all of the city churches. During the afternoon, the congregation of the "Preciosa Sangre de Cristo" [Precious Blood of Christ] church, marches through the city streets, carrying likenesses and semblances dating back to colonial times. The portrayal of the "pentitent" takes place for the general public, as do other events. A sorrowful, mourning ceremony takes place later in the evening. This event commemorates the Virgin Mary, shown here as the Virgin of Solitude. This likeness is also worshipped as the patron saint of Oaxaca, during a ceremony in the Oaxaca "Basilica de la Soledad" church, and in the majority of churches within the Central Valleys. A solemn, mournful procession that departs from the atrium of the Basilica de la Soledad ends the evening, directed through the main streets of the Oaxaca Historical Centre. - oaxaca-travel.com/

The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (Khmer: សារមន្ទីរឧក្រិដ្ឋកម្មប្រល័យពូជសាសន៍ទួលស្លែង) is a museum in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, chronicling the Cambodian genocide. The site is a former high school which was used as the notorious Security Prison 21 (S-21) by the Khmer Rouge regime from its rise to power in 1975 to its fall in 1979. Tuol Sleng (Khmer [tuəl slaeŋ]) means "Hill of the Poisonous Trees" or "Strychnine Hill". Tuol Sleng was only one of at least 150 execution centers in the country, and as many as 20,000 prisoners there were later killed.
It's fairly common for the Cobra organisation to have regular executions. Especially spies and deserters don't have to count on any sympathy from the commanding officers......
