Audacia is Allseas’ [a Swiss-based offshore contractor specializing in pipelay, heavy lift and subsea construction] versatile pipelay vessel, optimized for the execution of small- to large-diameter pipeline projects of any length in all water depths, and for associated work such as the installation of risers and subsea protection frames. The concept for Audacia was developed entirely in-house and she has been operational since 2007. A length of 225 m places her between Allseas’ dynamically positioned pipelay vessels Solitaire and Lorelay. Precise maneuvering on full dynamic positioning with a stinger positioned on the bow allow Audacia to work safely in congested areas and lay pipes in very deep water. Pipeline start-ups and lay-downs are executed in very quick time ensuring any disruption to other activities near platforms is minimized. Due to her long length and ship-shape Audacia can accommodate multiple workstations and has a greater pipe hold capacity. Her independence from anchor handlers and large buffer capacity also ensure she is less dependent on pipe off-loading from supply vessels. A high transit speed, high lay speed and large carrying capacity ensure Audacia is highly competitive for pipelay projects anywhere in the world / Port of Ravenna is an Italian seaport on the North Adriatic Sea in Ravenna, Italy. It is one of the top twenty Italian ports and top forty European ports. The port of Ravenna is the main port of Emilia-Romagna. The docks are mainly on a canal that connects the town centre of Ravenna (which is inland) to the sea which is 12 km away. The offshore breakwaters are in the little towns of Porto Corsini and Marina di Ravenna. It hosts shipyards, multipurpose terminals, bulk cargo terminals and a containerized cargo terminal.

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.
Execution Martyrs of Gorkum (Dutch: Martelaren van Gorcum) - a group of 19 Dutch Catholic clerics and friars who were tortured, hanged and mutilated on 9 July 1572 in the town of Brielle (or Den Briel) by militant Dutch Calvinists during the 16th century religious wars specifically the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule, which developed into the Eighty Years' War.
It's just one example of the many very brutal actions that followed killing people because of religion.

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.
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.

A man cut wood as a woman cook on November 11, 2013 in Bossangoa, 380 km north of Bangui. 41.000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDP's) took shelter near the Cathedral following the mass exactions of September 8, 2013. Chaos followed the ouster of Francois Bozize earlier this year and reports of summary executions, looting and abuses against civilians have prompted international concern that the Central African Republic could become another Somali-style failed state.
