Prisoners for execution would walk into the first room in the top left and be escorted to the third room to the right. A "doctor" would await the man and ask him to undress and remove any valuables for a physical. The doctor would then escort the man to the middle, rectangular room below the two small rooms above. The prisoner was told to stand against the wall for a height measurement. Behind the wall, another prisoner with a handgun waited for the small hole he was looking at to go from light to darkness. Once it did, he pulled the trigger. Soldiers would take his body to the large, square room to the right and remove any valuables from his body not previously removed (gold teeth, watches). Once complete, the soldiers would take the body to the crematorium in the room below.

The Postcard
A Silveresque Series postcard that was published by Valentine & Sons Ltd. of Dundee and London. The card was posted in Dunoon using a 2½d. stamp on Thursday the 11th. August 1960. It was sent to:
Mr. (surname obliterated)
c/o Works Dept.,
Co-operative Society,
128, Milton Road,
Gravesend,
Kent,
England.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear F,
Having a lovely time,
and fine weather.
Alf.
p.s. We are sitting on the
shore at Lochranza on
the Isle of Arran in the
sun."
The Republic of Chad
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 11th. August 1960, the Republic of Chad, formerly part of French Equatorial Africa, became independent, with François Tombalbaye as its first President.
The Murderer Anthony Miller
Also on that day, James Denovan, an accomplice of Anthony Miller, was arrested, coincidentally only about 43 miles from where Alf was sunning himself on the seashore.
Anthony Joseph Miller, who was born in 1941, became the second-last criminal to be executed in Scotland when he was hanged at Glasgow's Barlinnie Prison on the 22nd. December 1960.
Miller had been convicted of murdering John Cremin at Queen's Park Recreation Ground (near Hampden Park) in Glasgow on the 6th. April 1960.
At 19 years of age, Miller was the last teenager to be executed in the United Kingdom.
At the time of his arrest, Miller was an apprentice cabinet-maker who lived with his family in Dixon Road in Crosshill, in the South Side of Glasgow. Miller's accomplice James Denovan and his family lived in Calder Street in nearby Govanhill.
-- The Murder of John Cremin
The murder of John Cremin was a robbery that went wrong. Miller and Denovan were in the habit of working together as a team, robbing homosexual men who would not report such crimes because homosexual acts were illegal at the time.
They would use Denovan (a 16-year-old boy) as bait in order to attract victims. Denovan approached victims in the park toilets, then lure them to a secluded area of the park by offering a sexual encounter.
When the victim was out of public view, Miller would suddenly appear, threatening the victims with violence unless they handed over all their valuables. However, during this particular robbery, 48 year old Cremin (a local criminal with a reputation for violence) fought back, but was severely beaten over the head with a wooden plank, resulting in his death.
The robbers stole various items from Cremin's pockets, and hid his body under some bushes, where it was later discovered by a man out walking his dog.
The Police launched a murder investigation after a post mortem examination of Cremin's body revealed suspicious injuries.
Miller and Denovan continued to target gay men for some weeks after robbing Cremin. Eventually, Denovan was arrested on the 11th. August 1960 while committing an "act of indecency" with another man on the Recreation Ground.
A newspaper cutting relating to the death of John Cremin was found in Denovan's wallet, which aroused suspicion that he was somehow involved in the crime.
Eventually, Denovan confessed to his role in the robbery, and implicated Miller, who was subsequently arrested.
-- The Trial of Anthony Miller and James Denovan
Miller and Denovan's trial began in Glasgow High Court on the 14th. November 1960. They were charged with the capital murder of John Cremin as well as three other charges of assault and robbery.
Miller also faced another charge of assault and robbery committed with two other accomplices, while Denovan was also charged with committing an act of indecency.
At the end of a three-day trial, Miller was found guilty of capital murder, while Denovan was found guilty of non-capital murder. Both verdicts were unanimous, and came after only 33 minutes of deliberation by the jury.
As 19-year-old Miller was legally an adult, and because the murder had taken place during the course of a robbery (Cremin had been robbed of his watch, bankbook and £67), he was eligible for the death penalty under the terms of the Homicide Act of 1957.
Accordingly, he was sentenced to death by Lord Wheatley, the trial judge. However, as a 16-year-old, Denovan was considered a child by the judicial system, and therefore too young to face the death penalty. Consequently, he was sentenced to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure.
-- The Execution of Anthony Miller
The appeals of both Miller and Denovan were dismissed by the Scottish Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh on the 7th. December 1960 (the date which had originally been set for Miller's execution).
A new execution date of the 22nd. December 1960 was decided. Miller's family organised a petition to the Secretary of State for Scotland, John Maclay, asking him to recommend a reprieve, with a stall in Glasgow city centre. The petition received 30,000 signatures, but it was turned down.
Miller was hanged on the gallows at 8.02 a.m. on Thursday, 22nd. December 1960 by executioner Harry Allen, assisted by Robert Leslie Stewart.
It was the last execution to take place at HMP Barlinnie.
The last judicial execution in Scotland was that of Henry John Burnett, which took place in Aberdeen on the 15th. August 1963.
-- Please, Mister
A theatre play about Miller's last days in the condemned cell, Please, Mister (the title comes from Miller's alleged last words on the scaffold), was written by Patrick Harkins, and first performed in 2010.
The initial production starred Iain De Caestecker (in the role of Miller) and David Hayman.

“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.
