For day 5 of Videoblogging Week I’m digging up some never before seen footage I shot on December 13th last year. The scene is outside San Quentin State Prison the night of the execution of Stanley “Tookie” Williams. His execution was especially controversial as Williams had renounced gang life and had become an effective anti-gang activist. Thousands of anti-death penalty activists turned out in hopes of a last minute commutation of Williams’ sentence.
It's videoblogging week and this my contribution for today.

The execution wall between blocks 10 & 11 at Auschwitz - block 11 held cells (the lower windows) where up to a 100 people were crammed in to rooms & not given anything to eat or drink. It also contained tiny 4 people standing cells where people were held. I found the lower block rooms in block 11 to be really sad, dark, depressive & the people held there would have heard the executions on the other side of the wall ....

If you look carefully, you can see an ominous turn in the road. You can see the photographer's shadow, like a gunman placing the gun on the temple of his victim. You can see Sandra and another Sandra and Sandra's shadow. You can even see the photographer's sleeve. And you can see Manuel's shadow where his eye actually is. All this on a remote road in the Catalan countryside.
Some of the more famous Tower prisoners were executed within the Inner Ward of the Tower. There were fewer spectators here, on Tower Green, than for those executions held just north of the Tower on Tower Hill, but there could still be a couple hundred people viewing the "private" execution. Lower-class prisoners who were executed at Tower Hill were usually hanged; beheading was reserved for higher-class or high-profile prisoners. The seven on this sign were all beheaded for treason.
The last person executed at the Tower was Josef Jakobs, a German spy, in 1941 by firing squad.
Continuing our walk, possibly in the footsteps of Joseph Kipling, Rudyard's grandfather, we came upon this sign post. There was a time, not that many generations past, when it would not have been unusual to find a gallows here. Which is by way of a rather strained link to Kipling's poem Danny Deever, which nailed me to my chair when I first heard it on the radio many years ago. Executions have always been very powerful box office.
Danny Deever
"WHAT are the bugles blowin' for? " said Files-on-Parade.
"To turn you out, to turn you out," the Colour-Sergeant said.
"What makes you look so white, so white? " said Files-on-Parade.
"I'm dreadin' what I've got to watch," the Colour-Sergeant said.
For they're hangin' Danny Deever, you can hear the Dead March play
The regiment's in 'ollow square - they're hangin' him to-day;
They've taken of his buttons off an' cut his stripes away,
An' they're hangin' Danny Deever in the mornin'.
"What makes the rear-rank breathe so 'ard? " said Files-on-Parade.
"It's bitter cold, it's bitter cold," the Colour-Sergeant said.
"What makes that front-rank man fall down? " said Files-on-Parade.
"A touch o' sun, a touch o' sun," the Colour-Sergeant said.
They are hangin' Danny Deever, they are marchin' of 'im round,
They 'ave 'alted Danny Deever by 'is coffin on the ground;
An' e'll swing in 'arf a minute for a sneakin' shootin' hound
0 they're hangin' Danny Deever in the mornin'!
" 'Is cot was right-'and cot to mine," said Files-on-Parade.
" 'E's sleepin' out an' far to-night," the Colour-Sergeant said.
"I've drunk 'is beer a score o' times," said Files-on-Parade.
" 'E's drinkin' bitter beer alone," the Colour-Sergeant said.
They are hangin' Danny Deever, you must mark 'im to 'is place,
For 'e shot a comrade sleepin' - you must look 'im in the face;
Nine 'undred of 'is county an' the Regiment's disgrace,
While they're hangin' Danny Deever in the mornin'.
"What's that so black agin the sun? " said Files-on-Parade.
"It's Danny fightin' 'ard for life," the Colour-Sergeant said.
"What's that that whimpers over'ead? " said Files-on-Parade.
"It's Danny's soul that's passin' now," the Colour-Sergeant said.
For they're done with Danny Deever, you can 'ear the quickstep play
The regiment's in column, an' they're marchin' us away;
Ho! the young recruits are shakin', an' they'll want their beer to-day,
After hangin' Danny Deever in the mornin'.
Neighbors respond to the state execution of Alex Pretti
THE SITUATION IN MINEAPOLIS
I thought it would be useful to offer you some first-hand perspective of what’s happening here as I don’t think people who are watching from afar quite understand what is unfolding, how it feels, and what it means.
In Minneapolis we are living under a fascist assault, and most of our institutions appear to be failing us, including the law, the government, our elected leaders, and the media.
There are masked, highly armed men roaming our city in unmarked cars terrorizing us, assaulting us, kidnapping us, and now killing us. They have attacked my friends’ kids’ school, teargassing students, staff, and community members. Many of my non-white friends are carrying their passports with them at all times now. A friend of mine was assaulted, kidnapped and illegally detained for about 9 hours. Here is her account:
youtu.be/Inn-sfiMcyE?si=G69LrIXMJ2Trrt_l
There is no due process, there is zero regard for the law, there is no regard for safety of anyone, and so far there has been no institutional check on their violence and intimidation. People are disappearing with no way to find out where they were taken. The police are nowhere to be seen, so the lawlessness is becoming increasingly brazen.
They are also joined by outside provocateurs and agitators. One image that got a lot of play in the media was a man burning an American flag. What is less known is that he was masked, no one knows who he is, and he left immediately after creating the spectacle. Some protestors followed him asking who he was or where he was from but he refused to respond and left the scene.
No one is helping us, so we are having to do it ourselves. We have people who are too scared to leave their homes so thousands of us are quickly mobilizing to join neighborhood chats and resource sharing to get groceries and supplies to families that need them. We are keeping eyes on ICE activities and alerting our neighbors of their presence whenever and wherever we can. We are organizing peaceful protests and trying to demand accountability from our leaders. The people responding are not far-left agitators or extremists. These are neighbors from every walk of life who are stepping in where our institutions are failing us, documenting the hundreds of crimes being inflicted on us daily, sharing information in real time, sharing food, and resources. And yes, we are pissed, and sometimes things get heated, but the David/Goliath dynamics here cannot be overstated.
I don’t use the term fascism lightly or carelessly. I really hope people can understand crystal clear the implications of what is happening.
The other day Mayor Frey told a reporter that yes, legally the police could and should arrest the people doing this to us. But, he said there are more of them and they have more guns. Let that sink in. The people who are supposed to be keeping us safe, who took an oath to defend us and the constitution, who are supposedly trained and armed and paid to do just that, appear to be either too scared, or indifferent, so it has fallen upon us to keep our neighbors safe, and to fight for our rights.
If this administration is allowed to so brazenly trample our civil liberties in such a public and spectacular way, with zero accountability, and zero checks on their power, then the game’s up. This is a constitutional crisis. This administration has said it doesn’t care about the constitution and is daring constitutional institutions to do something about it and they are not.
We are all terrified. But here in Minnesota we are standing up for each other, for our safety, our rights, and our lives, and praying our institutions may come around and decide to join us. It is incredibly inspiring to watch the community come together for mutual aid, defense and support. And seeing it makes me so so hopeful. Do not feel defeated. Organize your own community and understand the way we make it out of this is together. Find the people who have been fighting fascism for decades, learn from them, plug into those networks, build power, and don’t let fear lead to inaction because that is how they win.

“Vision without execution is just hallucination”
(T. Edison)
Intervista con Nerio Zurli
Nerio è Managing Director di HAVI Logistic Srl, dove lavora dal gennaio 1998.
In precedenza ha operato presso Vegè e la Gianni Fontana ed Associati.
Quali sono gli strumenti formativi che ritiene più utili nel suo contesto aziendale? Che contributo crede possano dare forme connesse alla creatività e all’arte, quali ad esempio il teatro e perché no il coaching?
HAVI utilizza da sempre molteplici strumenti di formazione sia in ambito manageriale che per specifiche aree o funzioni, a seconda delle esigenze dell’organizzazione. I più comuni ed utilizzati sono:
*Corsi o seminari specifici
*Attività di training on the job
*Coaching
*E-Learning
*Mentoring
L’utilizzo di linguaggi elementi culturali come il teatro, il cinema o lo sport sono forme di apprendimento che utilizziamo raramente, ma sono certamente una interessante ed innovativa opportunità per realizzare attività formative esperienziali efficaci e coinvolgenti. Il coaching è sicuramente una delle tecniche più efficaci che utilizziamo sia con il supporto di società esterne che con risorse interne che hanno ottenuto una specifica certificazione.
Quali sono le principali competenze che cerca nelle persone che collaborano con lei e di cui non vorrebbe fare a meno?
HAVI opera come lead logistics provider in ambito internazionale e va da se che, date le caratteristiche del nostro business, nella selezione delle risorse manageriali vengono privilegiate competenze afferenti ad aree quali: Relazionale (Comunicazione e Leadership), Cognitiva (flessibilità, capacità di cambiamento, decisionale e gestione dello stress), Realizzativa (orientamento al risultato e people management).
Cos'è per lei essere leader nel suo lavoro ?
In HAVI essere leader significa essere colui che fa si che le cose accadano, che nulla sia lasciato al caso. Il leader assume il ruolo di facilitatore, di garante che l’insieme delle risorse disponibili producano i risultati attesi avendo come obiettivi l’eccellenza organizzativa, operativa ed economico-finanziaria.
Azienda in Scena
Azienda in Scena è la teatralizzazione di momenti reali di vita aziendale, realizzata da autori ed attori professionisti.
Vengono rappresentate situazioni ordinarie, quali riunioni di team, erogazione di feedback, incontri con colleghi e clienti, situazioni in cui spesso le capacità tecniche dei singoli non sono sufficienti, e dove occorrono, per il raggiungimento dei risultati personali ed aziendali, capacità relazionali che non sempre vengono utilizzate e sviluppate adeguatamente.
Azienda in Scena, strumento formativo che la EEC già propone ai suoi clienti, si basa sull'idea che la verosimiglianza teatrale predisponga positivamente i partecipanti prima ad osservare e poi a riscontrare come quanto spesso ciò che è presentato in scena sia simile al proprio vissuto lavorativo, stimolando così consapevolezza e riflessione.
Osservarsi dal di fuori, da un'altra prospettiva, è utile a prendere coscienza del proprio agire e a comprendere meglio il clima aziendale.
Quanto rappresentato viene commentato dai nostri ospiti, con l'interazione di Raquel Guarnieri e Laura Averone.
Come sempre prima degli eventi, i coach EEC offrono sessioni individuali di coaching gratuite a chi le richiede nell'iscrizione.
Azienda in Scena, Bologna 27 Aprile ore 17.00.
ZanHotel Europa, Via Cesare Boldrini 11.

This is where convicted pirates were hanged.Their bodies were chained to a post at low tide and left there until three tides had washed over them,
The Rieme-Oostakker Place of Execution is the place in the Ghent district of Oostakker where 66 resistance fighters were executed by the Naxi occupation force between February 8, 1943 and August 24, 1944.
This memory is also kept alive the 20 resistance fighters who were killed on the execution site at Rieme . That site was destroyed in 1998 during the construction of the Kluizendok of Ghent Port.
The executions were carried out in secret and the victims were buried anonymously. Some of the resistance fighters killed in Rieme was found in a mass grave in Hechtel.
Moreover, there were German soldiers and Belgian criminals also shot. Because of these circumstances, it is still unclear how many people were killed. After the Liberation the mass grave was uncovered in Oostakker. The victims were identified and buried in their hometowns.
The crosses on the ground thus have a symbolic meaning. Nevertheless, the execution place is a cemetery since in 1952 the remains of 15 decapitated West Flemish political prisoners were moved here from their graves in Munich.
On the grounds is a railway carriage which carried hundreds of Belgians to concentration camps in Germany and Poland. In 1966 the execution place gained the status of a protected landscape.
There were a lot of these rather grisly machines that would show you little dolls reading another little doll it's last rites before beheading it or hanging it.
The first one goes off without a hitch. Amazingly he managed to maintain his footing.
