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.
This one is actually quite special since it tells of a 70 year old and a 77 year old male who get a death sentence for 'counter-revolutionary schemes'.

The Execution of Lady Jane Grey is an oil painting by Paul Delaroche, completed in 1833, which is now in the National Gallery in London. It was enormously popular in the decades after it was painted, but in the 20th century realist historical paintings fell from critical favour and it was kept in storage for many decades, for much of which it was thought lost. Restored and displayed again since 1975, it immediately once again became a highly popular work, especially with younger visitors.[1]
The painting portrays, erroneously in some regards, the moments preceding the death of Lady Jane Grey, who on 10 July 1553 was proclaimed Queen of England, only to be deposed nine days later and executed in 1554. Jane is sometimes referred to as the "Nine Days' Queen" due to the brevity of her reign.

Judith and Holofernes, 1620-21
Artemisia Gentileschi
Assyrian king Nebuchadnezzar sent his general Holofernes to besiege the Jewish city of Bethulia. Judith, described as a beautiful young widow, resolves to save her people by slaying Holofernes herself. After reciting a long prayer to God, she dons her finest clothes in order to seduce him. After Holofernes has drank enough wine to become intoxicated, Judith decapitates him with his own sword, winning a decisive victory for the Israelites.

From Artemisia
(October 2020 to January 2021)
"I will show Your Illustrious Lordship what a woman can do"
In 17th-century Europe, at a time when women artists were not easily accepted, Artemisia was exceptional. She challenged conventions and defied expectations to become a successful artist and one of the greatest storytellers of her time.
Artemisia painted subjects that were traditionally the preserve of male artists and for the male gaze; transforming meek maidservants into courageous conspirators and victims into survivors.
In this first major exhibition of Artemisia’s work in the UK, see her best-known paintings including two versions of her iconic and viscerally violent ‘Judith beheading Holofernes’; as well as her self portraits, heroines from history and the Bible, and recently discovered personal letters, seen in the UK for the first time.

A a poster advertising the first and only public execution to be held at Armley Jail. It took place on 10 September 1864 and saw the double execution, by hanging, of James Sargisson and Joseph Myers. Both were from other parts of Yorkshire but were tried at the Leeds Assize Court and found guilty of murder. The poster details the crimes of each men and goes on to report on the ‘condemned sermon’ held by the Rev. Henry Tuckwell and the last meeting of Myers and his family. It also includes lyrics to a song or poem written partly from the point of view of Myers.
Cook murdered his 2nd wife and was hung here in Woodstock, the first execution (of five) in the city's history, and he was so fat he was decapitated by the noose. This bust of his death mask was placed here beside the door from the gaol to what used to be the prison yard, a warning to the prisoners to behave I take it. They'd pass this at least twice a day.
- I had a job in London, ON from Nov '08 to Nov '09 and tried to see more of southwestern Ontario while I was there (with more to see and learn about than I expected). One night in town I spoke with a bartender about his adventures working in taverns in towns around southern Ontario. I'd just been to Woodstock, and he said it's a strange place with the most obstreporous locals. One day 2 guys in their 30s or 40s were sitting at his bar, the door opened and a 3rd guy walked in. He saw them, they saw him, a pin dropped, and then they jumped each other in an all-out melee. The bartender broke it up and kicked the 3rd guy out. He asked the first 2 what that was all about and they said "ahh, we've hated that guy since high school." !! Woodstock's a small town, they must run into each other several times a month.

The Palace has 1,100 rooms, 2 underground parking garages and is 12 stories tall. Constructing the Palace and Central Civic required demolishing much of Bucharest's historic district. Construction began in 1983, at the time of Nicolae Ceausescu's 1989 overthrow and execution, the building structure and design were complete but internally unfinished.

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.
This is actually one of the exam halls in my school. The exam was just over today, but my nightmare... I mean marking starts!
