Punishing Their Own and Hunting Prey

Although often seen as lawless, pirates sailed under agreements that included methods of punishment should they disregard the oaths they signed. They also inflicted various forms of punishment and torture on their victims. Some of these accounts appear brutal in the extreme, but people of the past lived in a harsh and violent world. Torturing and maiming people to extract information was a common practice, perhaps best illustrated by the Spanish Inquisition. Men and women who refused to enter a plea in English courts found themselves stretched on their backs in Newgate Prison's Press Yard where the jailer placed weights on their chests until they acquiesced. If they didn't, they were crushed to death. (WARNING: This article contains graphic accounts of violence.)

An Heretical Easter Story - Did Jesus Really Die?

What if Jesus had never actually died on the cross, but was revived by dedicated followers? Impossible, you say? Not necessarily. The Scriptures themselves reveal all the clues, as you will see in this amazing story. It gives, in my view, an even better portrayal of the Resurrection, an event that, in light of this information, we can actually relate to!!!

Introduction to Water for Life

No water -- no life! It's that simple...and that complicated...

The derecho is a violent, widespread windstorm emanating from long-lived thunderstorm complexes. Derechos produce damaging, straight-line winds of 100 to 160 km/h (60 to 100 mph) that are strong enough to down trees and power lines. They rush across a region along paths tens of kilometres (miles) wide and hundreds of kilometres (miles) long. Derecho damage is continuous and non-random over a large area.

Exploring the ice caves of Cragsmoor

When I’m out riding, there’s always a chance I’ll see an out-of-the-way country road that entices me to go exploring. That’s exactly how I wound up inside the Cragsmoor ice caves. Long after the weather had turned warm, thick sheets of ice still covered the walls and floors of these marvels of geology. But, while exploring the caves was fun, negotiating the steep ice slides to get in and out turned this into a unique adventure. ###
