Most Brutal And Horrific Form Of Execution In The Acient History. - Education

Consider yourself lucky if you are reading this, you most likely not to have lived in a society with extreme judgements, sentences, and punishments. Back in the good old days if you did something wrong, for example stole a goat, chicken, Adultery, you were pretty much assured being handed a death sentence. In those days there was no hanging around on Death Row, contemplating the errors of your ways whilst waiting for some form of humane, painless death. Executions in the ancient history seems to be so barbaric and devices used were built with careful engineering to push the guilty to feel extreme and prolonged pain before death. The forms of execution listed below really are so barbaric that you might question your faith in human nature. Blowing from the gun. With the invention of the cannon came this wonderfully imaginative way of executing enemy combatants. The basic method was to tie the unfortunate victim to the barrel of a cannon and fire it. Horrific as this sounds I imagine it w...

Outcry as African journalist posts footage showing female football fans having their breasts felt by security as they are searched entering stadium

 Outcry as African journalist posts footage showing female football fans having their breasts felt by security as they are searched entering stadium



Ivory Coast is hosting the AFCON tournament, currently in the group stages

Footage of security frisking women outside a stadium has divided opinion 

Critics have shared their outrage after footage emerged showing female football fans having their breasts felt by security as they were searched entering a stadium in the Ivory Coast.


Video circulating online shows a security guard frisking women outside a venue during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, currently in its busy group stages with the final scheduled for February 11.


The officer is first seen lifting and squeezing a female spectator's boobs over her clothing before patting down her back and sides. They then usher the fan to move on before repeating the process another two times.


Former BBC journalist Osasu Obayiuwana shared the video and drew attention to the varied reactions reported so far, writing: 'Some of the responses to this post are unbelievable. The nature of this search is okay, because a woman did this? Really?'


Mr Obayiuwana appeared to be responding to comments on a previous post suggesting the officer was female. He had written: 'Assuming you're right, is that how to search someone?'


He added: 'How can the Ivorian 'authorities think that this is okay?'

The footage divided opinion among onlookers, some judging the behaviour 'abusive'

The footage initially sparked outcry in local media, the whole process judged 'unacceptable'.


One X user, formerly Twitter, said: 'Is there no female police officer there?'


Another wrote: 'That's a female officer. Look closely.'


Mr Obayiuwana replied: 'And that makes the nature of the search okay, does it?'


The original poster conceded: 'Nope, that's [an] extreme mode of search for mere stadium access.'


Another user wrote: 'I went to the [Eiffel Tower] fan zone in 2016 for the Euros and I was searched like that It's extremely unpleasant.'


Someone else said: 'Even if the officer is female... this is wrong and abusive in nature.'


The identity of the security guard has not yet been revealed. In the background men can be seen being searched by male guards. 


The AFCON has kept its 2023 name despite being held in 2024.


It was pushed back from last summer because it was deemed too hot.


The tournament is currently in its group stages, with the host country pushed to third place behind Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria in Group A with one point from three games.


Senegal will aim to defend their title after winning the 2022 competition - but face stiff opposition from Morocco after a stunning World Cup run in Qatar that December, only knocked out by France in the semi-finals. 

Several women were seen to be frisked by the guard in the video

It was unclear why the video was being filmed, or exactly where it took place

The Africa Cup of Nations is the main international football competition in Africa, sanctioned by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and held since 1957.


It its first year, there were only three nations participating - Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia - after South Africa was disqualified for its policy of apartheid.


Egypt remains the most successful team in the competition, having won seven titles since inception.


The tournament is held every two years.

A man begging for forgiveness inside a Chicago divorce court, 1948

A man begging for forgiveness inside a Chicago divorce court, 1948 This decades-old photo is worth more than 1,000 words The story behind the iconic viral photo of a man begging his wife for forgiveness outside a Chicago divorce court in 1948... The black-and-white image, which has made the rounds on social media and Reddit in recent years, features a suited man on his literal knees, begging for the forgiveness of his fur-clad, soon-to-be ex-wife outside a Chicago divorce court. The looks on their faces seem to say it all: The scorned husband appears desperate, mouth slightly agape as he looks up at his one-time lover; the woman, meanwhile, appears utterly unbothered "It's a powerful photo today because you can sort of imagine your own story behind it," Jeff Nichols, a Chicago historian who acquired a copy of the 1948 newspaper photo via an eBay listing of the image, said. But thanks to Nichols' sleuthing, as well as the digitization of old newspaper records, we don...

Little Mix singer, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 30, attended the Boxing Day premiere in a revealing black dress that she had to hold down with her hands to avoid exposing too much. The singer, who gave birth to twins on October 4, showed off her incredible post-baby body in a daring dress as she stepped out on Tuesday night, Nov. 30, for the premiere of her first movie which will be released on December 3. As she posed for the camera, her dress, which has high slits on both sides, billowed in the air, nearly exposing her private areas. She had to use her hands to keep the dress down to prevent a wardrobe malfunction.

The story behind iconic Female Viet Cong Guerrilla photograph, 1972

 The story behind iconic Female Viet Cong Guerrilla photograph, 1972 A Viet Cong guerrilla stands guard in the Mekong Delta. Her name is Lam Thi Dep (Dep means beautiful in Vietnamese), the picture was taken in 1972 at Soc Trang Province by Vietnamese journalist Minh Truong. “You could find women like her almost everywhere during the war”, said the photographer. “She was only 24 years old but had been widowed twice. Both her husbands were soldiers”. She’s wielding an M-16, the standard-issue American soldier’s rifle.  Usually, these types of photos were taken for propaganda purposes. North Vietnamese women were deeply involved at all levels of the military campaign throughout the war, especially at the business end, fighting against the American-led forces in the jungle. North Vietnamese women were enlisted and fought in the combat zone as well as provided manual labor to keep the Ho Chi Minh trail open, cook for the troops, and some served as “comfort women” for male communis...

My Husband Ridiculed My Postpartum Figure at a Work Event – His Boss Confronted Him the Following Day

 My name is Claire, and I would like to share a poignant chapter from my life, which began with deep personal humiliation but evolved into an unexpected journey of empowerment and new opportunities. This transformation unfolded during and after a corporate event at my husband Tim’s boss’s luxurious residence—an evening that was meant to be filled with merriment but instead became a pivotal turning point in my life due to a thoughtless comment made by my husband. As we arrived at the opulent venue, the grandeur of the setting and the elegant attire of the guests heightened my anxiety. Despite wearing my best dress, I felt painfully self-conscious about my postpartum body, having given birth just three months prior. Tim seemed particularly eager to introduce me to his colleagues and their spouses, perhaps hoping to impress his boss. The atmosphere inside was vibrant, with guests engaging in lively conversations while enjoying fine wine and gourmet delicacies. As I attempted to mingle...
