The fortress of TerezÃn was constructed between the years 1780 and 1790 by the orders of the Austrian emperor Joseph II in the north-west region of Bohemia. It was designed to be a component of a projected but never fully realized fort system of the monarchy, another piece being the fort of Josefov. TerezÃn took its name from the mother of the emperor, Maria Theresa of Austria who reigned as empress of Austria in her own right from 1740–1780. By the end of the 18th century, the facility was obsolete as a fort; in the 19th century, the fort was used to accommodate military and political prisoners.
From 1914 till 1918 it housed one of its most famous prisoners: Gavrilo Princip. Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife on June 28, 1914, which led to the outbreak of the First World War. Princip died in cell number 1 from tuberculosis on April 28, 1918.
On June 10, 1940, the Gestapo took control of TerezÃn and set up the prison in the Small Fortress (kleine Festung), see below. By November 24, 1941, the Main Fortress (große Festung, i.e. the walled town of Theresienstadt) was turned into a ghetto. To outsiders, it was presented by the Nazis as a model Jewish settlement, but in reality it was a concentration camp 'where over 33 000 inmates died as a result of hunger, sickness, or the sadistic treatment meted out by their captors'. Theresienstadt was also used as a transit camp for European Jews en route to Auschwitz. 'Although some survivors claim the population reached 75,000, official records place the highest figure on September 18, 1942, at 58,491 in Kasernes (barracks) designed to accommodate 7000 combat troups.

Charlie team makes it to the other side. Flint orders the team to set up a temporary camp while they patch up their boots and gear from the piranha bites. Even with injuries from the piranha infested waters at a minimal, Mega Dave takes a moment to criticize Flint's reckless order to cross the waters without proper gear.
Mega Dave: That was stupid Flint. Real stupid...
Flint: Everyone made it ok...
Mega Dave: Yeah, but it was a risk that we didn't need to take.
Captain Lennox: I agree. With a little preparation, we could have...
Flint: Hold on a second... I know what this was about. Dave, you're upset that you're not head honcho-ing this mission. Guess what? It's time for you to get over it, NOW!
Mega Dave: This mission's going to be dangerous enough without taking any unnecessary risks.
Flint: What you consider necessary and unnecessary only matters when I ask you, and I'm not asking... got it? I'm commanding this unit, and I stand behind my decision. This ends now.
Flint looks over to Lennox
Flint: You have anything to say Captain?
Lennox: No sir. You're the head honcho. It was your call...
As Captain Lennox back down, he can feel his wife's eyes regarding him disappointingly. Fergie is tired of the Captain's diplomacy and she wants him to stand up for what he believes in, not what he is ordered to think. Still, Lennox says nothing further as a flummoxed Mega Dave bitterly stands down as well.

Anti-War March from Hyde Park to Trafalgar Square
Soldiers and military families were among 5,000 protesters in London demonstrating against UK military operations in Afghanistan.
The Stop the War Coalition says it was the first march against the Afghan war since the conflict began in 2001.
L/Cpl Joe Glenton, of York, who faces a court martial for refusing to return to Afghanistan, led the protest march.
The government said Afghanistan must become "stable and secure" before Nato forces could pull out.
'Disobeying orders'
The death of British corporal James Oakland, of the Royal Military Police, in a blast on Thursday took the number of UK personnel killed in Afghanistan since 2001 to 222.
The protesters gathered at Speakers' Corner, in Hyde Park. They then set off for Trafalgar Square, where speakers including MP George Galloway and campaigner Tariq Ali addressed the crowd.
The Metropolitan Police estimated that 5,000 people took part.
Some of the crowds chanted "Gordon Brown, terrorist" while others sang "What do we want? Troops out".
L/Cpl Glenton told the BBC it had been "touch and go" whether he would be arrested by military police for taking part.
Britain's own security is at risk if we again allow Afghanistan to become a safe haven for terrorists
Ministry of Defence spokesman
Soldier 'proud' of anti-war march
Protesters rail against 'futile' war
His court martial for refusing to return to Afghanistan is due to be held next month. At the moment he is confined to barracks on weekdays.
Defending his appearance at the demonstration, he said: "This is my choice.
"Somewhere down the line it's all going to come apart and people are going to be prosecuted for these things."
'It's scary stuff'
L/Cpl Glenton said people who believed he had brought disgrace upon the British Army were "entitled to their opinion".
He said: "I think what I am doing is in the British interest. I take my duty very seriously."
The soldier could be sent to prison for going absent without leave in 2007, something he said he was not looking forward to.
He said: "It's scary stuff, I have a wife and a family.

"I don't want to [go to prison] but if I gone back [to Afghanistan] and been involved in that and caused the deaths of innocent people then I would never be able to shrug that off, I would never had been free.
"The fact that I said no is fairly liberating, I can assure you."
Another speaker in Trafalgar Square was Peter Brierley whose son, L/Cpl Shaun Brierley, was killed in Iraq.
Mr Brierley, from Batley in West Yorkshire, confronted former Prime Minister Tony Blair at a memorial service at London's St Paul's Cathedral, telling him: "You have my son's blood on your hands."
Speaking at the demonstration, he said: "They [the military] are not doing any good while they are over there.
"They need to leave the country to sort itself out. While the British troops are there they are actually bringing in insurgents who are coming in to fight."
'Key to security'
Meanwhile, a survey suggests that public support for the war has fallen further. The YouGov survey for Channel 4 News found that 62% of those questioned wanted British troops withdrawn in the coming year at the latest.
Of 2,042 adults polled, 6% said that British troops were winning the war, compared with 36% who said they were not winning yet but eventual victory was possible, and 48% who said that victory was not possible.
A similar survey in 2007 found that 36% thought that victory was impossible.
A spokesman for the MoD said on Friday: "It is vital to the UK that Afghanistan becomes a stable and secure state that is able to suppress violent extremism within its borders.
"Britain's own security is at risk if we again allow Afghanistan to become a safe haven for terrorists, and that would be the result if Nato forces were to pull out of the country immediately."
In February 2003, an estimated one million took part in a march in London against the Iraq war.

The tower in this shot is the "Tower of five orders" that gets its name from the five orders of classical architecture (Doric, Tuscan, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite). These orders are represented by the different styles of columns used on the five levels of the tower.
History
The first religious building in the hamlet was a chapel of ease in the parish of Runcorn built in 1236 by Sir Thomas de Dutton which was known as the chapel of Poosey (or Pooseye). Towards the end of the 13th century the bishop of Lichfield (in whose diocese the chapel then was) received a complaint and he gave orders that a chaplain and a lamp should be provided by the prior of Norton Priory. The chapel remained in use until a domestic chapel was built at Dutton Hall and Poosey chapel fell into decay and became a ruin.
A new chapel was built in the 1520s by Thomas Dutton and his wife. This chapel was damaged in the Civil War. Following this the present chancel was built in 1697 for Sir Willoughby Aston, the architect possibly being John Vanbrugh. The nave was reconstructed between 1736 and 1740.
The church was badly damaged by a land mine in November 1940 and was restored in 1951.In 2004 it received a grant of £35,000 under the Repair Grants for Places of Worship scheme.
Structure
The church is built in sandstone with a roof of grey slate tiles. The four-bay nave has a cupola belfry to the west, and north and south porches. The cupola has a circular window with a clock above it. The three-bay chancel is narrower than the nave. There is a circular east window with a niche on either side.
Fittings and furniture
The former choir gallery is now occupied by an organ which was built in 1906 by Ernest Wadsworth Ltd and installed in 1908.The pews are of oak, as is the pulpit which probably dates from the 17th century. The altar table also dates from the 17th century. The ceiling is plastered with an oval-ended central panel. In the chancel are tablets to members of the Aston family dated between 1635 and 1839. In the nave is a plaque to the memory of one of the Aston's stewards and some 19th century tablets.The church plate includes a gilt chalice dating from around 1370 and a paten, probably of the same date. Following the land mine damage, the organ was rebuilt by Jardine & Co Ltd.
External features
Two portions of the sandstone churchyard wall dating probably from the late 17th century and the lych gate dated 1908 are listed Grade II.In the churchyard is a former red sandstone font dating probably from the early 17th century which is listed Grade II.Also listed Grade II are table tombs to William and Mary Okell, dated 1837,Mary Fletcher, dated 1776,Roll Okell and others, dated 1775. Another memorial in the churchyard is the grave of Chloe. Chloe was a slave from Gambia who was born around 1760 and who arrived in Liverpool in 1767. She spent her life as a servant to the Aston family, being given the surname of Gambia, and rose to the position of housekeeper. She died from breast cancer on 12 September 1838.
The pre-match atmosphere at Elland Road in the game between Leeds United and Millwall in May 2009 for the Playoff semi-final second leg. The game ended 1-1 with Millwall winning the fixture 2-1 on aggregate, however they went onto to lose the final 3-2 to Scunthorpe. There was a high amount of passion from both set of fans and the Police were forced to escort the Millwall fans to the stadium, due to the Millwall fans having a reputation for hooliganism.
