In 1998 we were trying to get together a treatment for a documetary about electric chairs. This was a title sequence concept of the film frame getting jammed in the projector gate and burning. Of course "Electric Chair Documentary" was just a working title. We probably would have called it "Asses of Fire".
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.

Commander's log, date 05.03.2735:
My execution came and went. I had been 'cuffed again, and a hood had been put over my head. I was ready to die. I figured I could at least die with the satisfactory knowledge that I hadn't given away any DDF secrets. But then I heard some screams. They were the screams of the guards, as Jim was decapitating them. He rescued me, and I was quite astounded to see him. After all, I had believed him to be dead. But he explained the situation to me. He had actually come across a DM underwater patrol in the pond. It was the DM underwater patrol's blood I had seen, not Jim's. But he had gotten caught on a rock down there, so it was a while before he surfaced. He found a lone DM soldier and killed him to get weapons. Then he gathered intel and found me. And what a relief that was! Now, Jim and I shall return to base to resume our normal activities.

General consensus was that the book was good for large company process execution with a Midwest mentality. But in the Silicon Valley, emphasis is on innovation and practice.

The death sentence handed down to (The execution of) British drug smuggler Akmal Shaikh and the requests for clemency from the British government and other groups has highlighted the conflicting attitudes towards both the death penalty and the defense of “diminished responsibility” in China and the UK.
The has set off a torrent of discussion on-line with thousands of comments left at ifeng.com - a popular Chinese website that has been reporting the case.
The vast majority are of the opinion that it would not only be unfair but a serious challenge to Chinese law if the government spared the life of a convicted drug smuggler. These people insist there should be no sympathy for drug smugglers as heroin is one of the most dangerous drugs on the planet. They say it harms people, society and families – and the problems it causes cost the government billions a year. In addition there’s a widespread feeling that the way China runs its legal system is nothing to do with outsiders. They say this man was in China when he committed the crime and it should be up to the Chinese courts to punish criminals as they see fit.

A clear glass pillow rests on top of the Execution Site's memorial. This really is where a handful of unfortunate people lost their heads.
Tower Green is inside the Tower of London complex, so those who were executed here were given a "private" beheading, so to speak. The others were normally executed on Tower Hill, which was outside the complex, and in front of the public.
A scaffold used to be erected prior to the execution and a wooden block placed in the center. A blindfold was placed on the condemned and they had to lay their head on the block while kneeling. However, Anne Boleyn was exceptional in that she had a swordsman to execute her. Instead of a block, she had to kneel upright and face the private audience while the swordsman took a swing at her neck. Known to be one of Henry VIII's most stylish queens, she certainly made sure she went out with a bang. She must've had the last laugh, though; her daughter and only child by Henry VIII became one of England's greatest queens, Elizabeth I.
This memorial was designed by artist Brian Catling.
