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.
Here is George the Grapefruit. His only crime against humanity is to be round, juicy, and delicious. Therefore, he must die!
I consider myself a master list maker. Skills to organize all things into a nauseously perfected state of paperwork. The hiccup arises when its time to execute. To put down the pen and paper and apply the list. I stare at the list and ponder in procrastination if I should maybe make a master list to rule all the other lists or bring in some new sassy thumbtacks and highlighters to simplify the organization more throughly. I'm stalling. I'm resisting and mostly I've come to realize out of fear. Its easier just to hang out and dream about all the awesome cool things you COULD be doing, than stepping into the foreboding woods of action not knowing what will cross you on your path. Failure, loss, defeat or even more terrifying. . .success! I find myself poised at the starting line of my 90day adventure I'm asking myself "to list or not to list"?

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.

This machine was made by John Dennison, Leeds, England in 1891. Each machine that he made was a one-of-a-kind hand made. He exhibited them in northern England at Bazzars, Fets and fairs from 1875 onward. None were sold until his heirs sold all in 1944. They were all originally spring wound and very well made with cams, pulleys and strings. A log of the machines the made exists in the museum in Leeds England.
National Monument Kamp Amersfoort, located in the middle of the Netherlands, preserves the memory of the suffering that 47,000 prisoners had to endure during WWII. The prisoners in this concentration camp were subjected to an inhumane regime of starvation, abuse, forced labour and executions.
Originally Kamp Amersfoort was a barracks site of the Dutch army. From August 1941, various groups were incarcerated by the Nazis: thousands of resistance fighters, evaders of the Arbeitseinsatz, communists and hostages; approx. 2,500 Jews; approx. 220 American citizens; approx. 120 Jehovah’s Witnesses, and a group of 100 Soviet POWs. An estimated 70 % was transferred to other camps for forced labor, many of which never returned.
In a large underground museum presentation the story is told on the basis of objects, photos, documents and temporary exhibitions, in conjunction with the monuments and visible traces in the large outside area.
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.

It's fairly common for the Cobra organisation to have regular executions. Especially spies and deserters don't have to count on any sympathy from the commanding officers......
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.

An exotic invasive from Europe called a balsam woolly adelgid has destroyed 95% of the Fraser firs in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. The sadness in the sight of this ghost forest brought these lyrics to mind....
"Oh god come quickly, the execution of all things.
Let's start with the bears and the air and mountains, rivers, and streams.
Then we'll murder what matters to you and move on to your neighbors and kids.
Crush all hopes of happiness with disease cause of what you did.
And lastly, you're all alone with nothing left but sleep.
But sleep never comes to you, it's just the guilt and forever wakefulness of
the weak.
It's just you and me.
The execution of all things."- Rilo Kiley
