Illustration from the 1800 edition of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs (this edition entitled, <Fox’s original and complete Book of Martyrs; Containing Copious & Authentic Accounts of the Lives, Sufferings and Deaths of the Protestant Martyrs in the Reign of Queen Mary the first; To which will be Added, The Lives and Persecutions of the Primitive Martyrs from the Birth of Christ to the time of Queen Mary)
Depicted in this scene is the execution of Lady Jane Grey. Underneath the engraving is an inscription reading:
Lady Jane Dudley (formerly Gray) Wife of Lord Guildford & Cousin to Queen Mary, beheaded by order of that bloody Princess on Tower Hill. Feb 21. 1554 being then entering her 17th year.
As the date of this publication indicates, Foxe’s work proved to have a lasting legacy, with editions still in demand by the nineteenth-century. Original sixteenth-century woodcuts of the persecutions of the martyrs were however frequently replaced with up-to-date illustrations and portraits. This engraving of Lady Jane Grey was an example of one of the eighteenth-century prints that were used.

Isolated inside its own fenced courtyard, the small building is known simply enough as the execution chamber. Between the years of 1937 and 1989, 39 or 40 (depending on the source) inmates were put to death inside the structure. All of the executions, save one, were conducted in the state's gas chamber where the sealed unit was filled with cyanide gas. The sole exception was the prison's last execution on January 26, 1989.

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.

As per the current market demands, it has become necessary to adopt warehouse execution software and warehouse robots for fulfillment and distribution centers to boost product execution and productivity.
Two young boys were playing under the Puente Nuevo of Ronda, from the top of which the Christian armies used to throw prisoners into the river of Tajo, flowing hundreds of feet below.
On December 13, 1861, the first execution of a deserter in the Army of the Potomac was carried out in a field just outside Alexandria near the Fairfax Seminary, now known as the Virginia Theological Seminary.
The drumhead court-martial and execution of Private William H. Johnson, of the First New York Cavalry ("Lincoln Cavalry"), received widespread press coverage and served as a stern warning to the potential, though relatively rare, fate that awaited deserters.
While desertion plagued both armies throughout the war, the actual number of executions for this crime were relatively low. The total number of such executions on both sides during the war is estimated at about 500. President Lincoln, knowing that the public would not tolerate large numbers of executions, showed leniency in pardoning many condemned deserters. Only 147 Union deserters are known to have been executed during the war.
The first in the Army of the Potomac was Pvt. William H. Johnson. William H. Johnson enlisted as a private in Company D. of the New York First Cavalry in New York City on August 25, 1861 at the age of 23. Although a native of New Orleans, Johnson had been living for a number of years in New York where he was employed as a clerk when war broke out. Once the regiment reached Washington, Johnson displayed an aversion to military obedience and was absent from camp several times without a pass. A regimental historian recalled in 1902 that Johnson "was a peculiar man whose actions at different times had proved him unreliable."
On the evening of December 4, 1861, Pvt. Johnson was on picket duty near Benton's Tavern, located on the south side of the intersection of the Little River and Columbia turnpikes, approximately seven miles west of Alexandria. After dinner, Johnson mounted his horse and started down Braddock Road towards Centreville, ostensibly to water his horse, but with the real intention of making it to the rebel lines. After riding several miles, he encountered a group of horsemen whom he presumed to be rebels. He identified himself to them as a Union deserter and offered to provide them the locations of his regiment's pickets. Unfortunately for Johnson, he had actually ran into a returning reconnaissance patrol from the 1st New Jersey Cavalry. A Colonel Taylor promptly placed Johnson under arrest and delivered him to the Provost Marshal.
A general court martial was convened at the camp of Franklin's Division, located near Fairfax Seminary. In his defense, Johnson claimed that he had "not the slightest intention of deserting up to a few minutes before I started in the direction of the enemy's lines." He added that his desertion was motivated by a desire to visit his mother in New Orleans, spend a few weeks in the South and then return to his regiment, "perhaps with some valuable information." The Court was not buying this and believed Johnson had long contemplated desertion. Johnson was found guilty of desertion and sentenced to be shot by a firing squad.
Major-General George B. McClellan approved the sentence on December 11th, noting in his special orders that "for simple desertion, the penalty is death; for desertion coupled with such treachery, there can be no mercy." The published order was read to troops throughout the Army of the Potomac in order to make a strong and lasting impression.
Franklin's entire division, numbering approximately 10,000 men, was ordered to watch the execution, which was held on a wide plain just north of the Fairfax Seminary on the afternoon of December 13th. Lieutenant Colonel Robert McAllister of the First New Jersey volunteers wrote home to his wife describing his mixed emotions regarding witnessing the execution:
"I feel sad this evening from the fact that an order has come down for us, and the whole Division ... to turn out tomorrow afternoon to witness the execution of a poor soldier. He has been condemned to be shot ... no doubt the sentence is all proper and right. But I do not wish to be a witness at his execution.... I feel for him, yes, and pray for him... Gladly would I be far away from these sad and solemn scenes which we are ordered to witness."
Johnson's request to make a final statement was granted and in a low voice, he stated, " "Boys,—I ask forgiveness from Almighty God and from my fellow-men for what I have done. I did not know what I was doing. May God forgive me, and may the Almighty keep all of you from all such sin!"
The eight-man firing squad "fired when Johnson fell on his coffin, but life not being extinct, the other four in reserve fired with the required effect," according to a newspaper account of the execution.
The design is in the details, in both Preschool Specially Designed Instruction and the thrill of a preschooler’s close up discovery of the natural beauty of a seashell.
How often is something exactly what it purports to be? Not an easy question to answer, but Glenwood Community School District has nailed it by embracing, embedding, and implementing Specially Designed Instruction into their preschool curriculum. Students are receiving exactly what the name implies, Specially Designed Instruction (SDI), aimed at meeting the educational needs of each individual student.
Some characteristics of Preschool SDI instruction include intentionality, abundant visuals, the amount of instruction, peer mediated interventions, and peer prompting. Successful SDI requires a collaborative, team approach for problem solving. A host of educational staff get together at least once a month, to discuss student progress based on the data recorded daily by the preschool teacher. They look to see if a goal is being worked on or if an instructional change is needed.
All five preschool teachers and classrooms in the district are on board with integration and delivery of SDI within the school day. All are part of a usability grant in various stages of execution (years one through four). Using specific criteria, early childhood consultants at Area Education Agencies (AEAs) recommended the best sites for grant funds to support the SDI work and provide professional development based on teacher feedback.
Execution by shooting at Auschwitz I - not a firing squad, but a shot to the back of the head with the prisoner facing the wall.
They ate every part of the pig, except the hair which was shaved off immediately after slaughter.
This was a disturbing death for me, and you don't want to know how it actually died.
When the high end luxury car companies started bringing out their own SUV's and the sales of them quickly surpassing their other more well known body types you just knew the domination of high riding vehicles was complete!
An Aston Martin SUV was perhaps unthinkable a decade ago but now its seen as essential for sales growth and despite their mega expensive price the DBX is not an uncommon sight here in the UK.
I'm genuinely surprised Matchbox/Hot Wheels/Majorette haven't got one in their line ups but then again would any look quite as complete as this one made by Tomica. Almost premium in appearance and execution yet this casting is only a basic mainline and thus costs pretty much the same as what we pay for HW and MBX! A really substantial looking and feeling toy car beautifully finished and detailed.

Mint and boxed.
This warning on the electric chair controls was the scariest part for me. Why do you need this?! Who is going to be operating these that they might not have been properly taught how to use them? If this is so important, why not print the instructions right on the control box itself--it has an enormous amount of white space.
A good exhibit, making you think. That is the last photo of our Columbus trip.
