William Tyndale was betrayed by Henry Phillips to the imperial authorities, seized in Antwerp in 1535, and held in the castle of Vilvoorde.
He was tried on a charge of heresy in 1536 and condemned to be burned to death, despite Thomas Cromwell's intercession on his behalf. Tyndale "was strangled to death while tied at the stake, and then his dead body was burned".
His final words, spoken "at the stake with a fervent zeal, and a loud voice", were reported as "Lord! Open the King of England's eyes."
The traditional date of commemoration is 6 October, but records of Tyndale's imprisonment suggest the actual date of his execution might have been some weeks earlier..
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.
The door showing this tiny execution slowly swings shut.

The automated solutions are high in demand today. When you are going to adopt such solutions, it is better to go with warehouse execution software and warehouse robots to drive better efficiency, productivity, and safety in the centers.
Petar Zrinski and Fran Krsto Frankopan were prominent Croatian noblemen of the 17th century and leaders of the last major Croatian noble conspiracy against the Habsburg court. Their execution was a consequence of political resistance to the centralizing policies of the Habsburg Monarchy and an attempt to preserve Croatian and Hungarian rights within the Empire.
Causes of Execution
After the Habsburg Monarchy signed the Treaty of Vasvár (1664) with the Ottoman Empire, Croatian and Hungarian nobles were deeply dissatisfied. Although the Habsburg army had achieved victories, the treaty allowed the Ottomans to retain large territories. Local nobles felt betrayed and abandoned by Vienna. Zrinski and Frankopan, along with Hungarian magnates, formed a conspiracy (the Zrinski–Frankopan Conspiracy) seeking greater autonomy and protection of their rights. They tried to gain foreign support from France, Poland, and Venice, but when their negotiations failed and their plans were exposed, Emperor Leopold I decided to punish them harshly to deter others.
Last Hours
Both men were arrested, tried in Vienna, and condemned to death for high treason. On April 30, 1671, in Wiener Neustadt, they were executed by beheading. Contemporary records state that they faced their deaths with extraordinary courage and dignity. Petar Zrinski wrote a farewell letter to his wife, Katarina, known as “Moje drago serce” (“My Beloved Heart”), which has become one of the most treasured texts of Croatian literature. Fran Krsto Frankopan, himself a poet and writer, remained calm and composed until the end, accepting death as a sacrifice for his homeland. Their deaths became a symbol of resistance and national struggle in Croatian history.

Petar Zrinski i Fran Krsto Frankopan bili su istaknuti hrvatski velikaši 17. stoljeća, vođe posljednje velike hrvatske plemićke urote protiv bečkog dvora. Uzrok njihovog smaknuća povezan je s pokušajem otpora centralističkoj politici Habsburgovaca i s nastojanjima da se hrvatska i ugarska prava očuvaju unutar Monarhije.
Uzroci smaknuća
Nakon što je Habsburška Monarhija sklopila mir s Osmanskim Carstvom u Vašvaru (1664.), plemstvo u Hrvatskoj i Ugarskoj bilo je nezadovoljno jer je mir bio nepovoljan za lokalne interese: značajna područja ostala su pod Osmanlijama iako je habsburška vojska izvojevala pobjede. Plemstvo se osjećalo izdanim i prevarenim. Zrinski i Frankopan, zajedno s ugarskim velikašima, organizirali su urotu kojom su tražili veću autonomiju i zaštitu svojih prava. Potajno su tražili pomoć od Francuske, Poljske i Mletačke Republike. Međutim, kada su pregovori propali i planovi otkriveni, car Leopold I. odlučio je strogo kazniti urotnike kako bi zastrašio ostale.
Posljednji sati
Zrinski i Frankopan bili su uhićeni, izvedeni pred sud u Beču i osuđeni na smrt zbog veleizdaje. 30. travnja 1671. u Bečkom Novom Mjestu (Wiener Neustadt) obojica su pogubljena odsijecanjem glave. Pred smaknuće, prema zapisima, pokazali su iznimnu hrabrost i dostojanstvo. Petar Zrinski napisao je svojoj supruzi Katarini čuvenu oproštajnu poslanicu „Moje drago serce“ – jedno od najpoznatijih pisama hrvatske književnosti. Fran Krsto Frankopan, pjesnik i književnik, također je do posljednjeg trenutka ostao pribran i miran, prihvaćajući smrt kao žrtvu za domovinu. Njihova pogibija ušla je u kolektivno pamćenje kao simbol otpora i nacionalne borbe.
[Sign:] The infamous "Hanging Judge Jeffries" was a local and a regular patron here.
It is said that he would enjoy his lunch on this balcony whilst watching the hangings at the place known as Execution Dock.
It was at Execution Dock that the famous pirate Captain Kidd met his end in 1701.
The noose below this point reminds us of this gruesome man who later died in the Tower of London.
Execution Dock was near the shoreline at Wapping and was used for over 400 years to execute pirates, smugglers and mutineers. Captain William Kidd is probably the most famous pirate to meet his death there in 1701. His corpse was put into a gibbet, a metal framed cage, and was left hanging at Tilbury Docks for 3 years. With the last execution in 1830, the exact location of Execution Dock is not known today but it’s claimed to be in the area where two pubs stand, the Prospect of Whitby and the Town of Ramsgate with the latter being the most likely. Round the back of the Prospect of Whitby there is a gallows with a noose hanging from it commemorating the location of Execution Dock.

The execution room at Seodaemun Prison. The preferred method of execution by the Japanese during the occupation: hanging.
Seodaemun Prison was built during the Japanese occupation (1910-1945) to keep Korean "dissidents" -- Koreans who rather valued national independence -- in line. The conditions were pretty barbarous, to say the least, and included torture along with other inhumane treatment.

Summers & Koontz Executions
On 22 May 1865, after the Civil War ended. Capt. George W. Summers, Sgt. I. Newton Koontz, and two other armed veterans of Co. D, 7th Virginia Cavalry, robbed six Federal
cavalrymen of their horses near Woodstock. The horses were returned the next day to the 192d Ohio Volunteer Infantry at Rude’s Hill. Despite assurances that all was forgiven, Lt. Col. Cyrus Hussy, temporarily commanding the 192nd, later ordered the men arrested. The others escaped, but Summers and Koontz were shot without trial here on 27 June. Thirty years later, Capt. Thomas J. Adams and friends erected the nearby monument to commemorate their deaths.
