A poor widowed mother who could not afford new school supplies for her kids is startled. When cops unexpectedly arrive on her doorstep, almost everyone in Mary’s neighborhood was busy getting things ready for their children’s new school year.

Hey Mary, do you want to go shopping with us? We’Re going to get some school supplies for our kids, Mary heard, one of her neighbors, Mrs Dawson, say, as she waved at her Mary hesitated, forced to keep the little money she had for the week’s groceries. No, Mrs Dawson, I can’t afford to buy them this time…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

I don’t have enough money, but thanks for asking Jesus, I’m sorry to hear that Mary. But don’t worry this too shall pass someday said Mrs Dawson, as she took off with the other women. It ripped Mary’s heart and made her cry thinking her nine-year-old and seven-year-old Simon and Melissa would be going to school in two days without the necessary supplies. How am I going to tell them that I can’t afford everything they listed down. She sobbed silently staring outside Peter.

Why did you leave us like this? Peter was Mary’s late husband who died six months earlier on his way home from the factory he worked. The family was already struggling and Peter’s salary contributed significantly to making ends meet after his untimely death. Mary was pushed to the extreme of Misfortune and had to fight her best to raise her children. Her sorrow doubled when she had to quit.

Waitressing due to health issues. She focused on her household and her savings were completely drained. Tears streamed down Mary’s face as she blamed fate for how things turned out in her life. Then a faint voice interrupted her from behind Mama school starts in two days and we haven’t bought anything yet said Simon. Will we go shopping at least today, Mary didn’t know what to say: sweetheart I’ll try to do something but Mom you told us the same thing last week and we were given a whole list of items to take to art class.

What do we do now? We have two days left added Melissa, the more her children questioned her, the more Mary felt hurt and lost honey. I said I’ll do something she said again, but Simon and Melissa were disappointed. They mumbled and walked away certain their mom would still do nothing. Mary was crushed and decided to do something she wiped away her tears and picked up her phone, giving it her last shot by calling someone she knew for help: hey Salma Hi.

How are you she asked? Salma was a friend she had waitressed with six months ago. I’M good Mary, how are you I’m glad to hear from you after a long time? So how is everything? Did you find a new job?

Not really. I shouldn’t have quit that job, but I had no choice because I had to attend. Peter’S funeral and my health was deteriorating. His parents already had problems with me and I didn’t want them to criticize me again. Yeah, you told me about your in-laws.

Did they visit you after that? No, what can I expect? They were already angry with me for marrying their son against their wishes, and now that he’s gone they’re constantly, accusing me saying I took him away from them. Mary felt a little light talking to her friend, although her main motive behind the call was to ask for some money. However, she decided against it and just hung up after their casual conversation.

At that point, Mary had no idea who else to ask Mom Dad. I know you’re watching me struggle from Heaven. Your grandchildren need help with just basic school supplies and I’m not even able to afford them that much I’ve run out of savings. Please make some miracle happen. Mary cried looking up at the sky from her window shortly after she heard loud sirens and a couple of police cars stopped in front of her house.

Why are the cops here she shrieked hurrying outside to find out a weird feeling of fear and curiosity crawled into Mary’s nerves, as one of the officers got down from the car and approached her God, I hope nothing’s wrong. Why is she coming this way? Mary mumbled anxiously, Mrs Parker, yes officer. It’S me what happened? Your husband died six months ago right.

Why? Yes, we moved here just recently after that is anything wrong. No ma’am! Not really! We just came here to give you something.

Mary grew suspicious, as the officer gestured for her fellow cops to bring something over by this point. Mary’S gut began to churn with fear and anxiety. Her neighbors flocked around her house murmuring things careful. Where are the rest of them? The officer asked one of the cops Mary was bewildered and kept watching unable to see what was in the heavy boxes.

They unloaded from the vehicles officer what’s going on and what are these boxes for Mary asked, Mrs Parker, we are pleased to gift your kids school supplies. They would need for the next five years, replied the officer jolting Mary, what she exclaimed school supplies for my kids, but how did you know that they needed them? Well, since you’re new to this part of town, you must be unaware of our little tradition spoke. The officer Brewing the elated mother’s curiosity, Mrs Parker. We pick the most underprivileged families in this neighborhood every year and help them with certain things.

This time we chose to help your kids after your neighbor, Mrs Dawson, informed us about your husband’s death and your current financial crisis, as it turned out when Mrs Dawson learned of Mary’s misery that morning, she informed the cops prompting them to pick Mary and her kids. As this year’s beneficiaries of the police force, Mary could not believe her eyes. She looked around and saw Mrs Dawson emerge from the crowd. Smiling. Mrs Dawson, I don’t know how to thank you you made my day today.

This means a lot. I hope this helps Mary, as I said this too shall pass someday exclaimed Mrs Dawson, before walking away, leaving a delighted Mary to shed tears of joy and Mrs Parker. We would also like you to attend an interview here. This is a small company in town and they’re, hiring a receptionist. The boss is my friend.

Maybe I could refer you there. The officer said adding more shades of joy to Mary’s teary eyes. Thank you so much officer. It really means a lot. She cried joyfully.

The incident gave the poor mother a fresh breath of Hope. Meanwhile, Simon and Melissa were so happy to see the boxes full of school supplies.

Guy Fawkes’ punishment was one of the most severe in English history – here’s what happens when a body is hung, drawn and quartered

After their infamous plot to destroy parliament was foiled, Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators received one of the most severe judicial sentences in English history: hanging, drawing and quartering. According to the Treason Act 1351 , this punishment involved…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

That you be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, where you shall be hanged by the neck and being alive cut down, your privy members shall be cut off and your bowels taken out and burned before you, your head severed from your body and your body divided into four quarters to be disposed of at the King’s pleasure.

This process aimed not only to inflict excruciating pain on the condemned, but to serve as a deterrent – demonstrating the fate of those who betrayed the Crown. While Fawkes reportedly jumped from the gallows – which meant he avoided the full extent of his punishment – his co-conspirators apparently weren’t so lucky.

By dissecting each stage of this medieval punishment from an anatomical perspective, we can understand the profound agony each of them endured.

Torture for confession

Before his public execution on January 31 1606, Fawkes was tortured to force a confession about his involvement in the “gunpowder plot”.

The Tower of London records confirm that King James I personally authorised “the gentler tortures first”. Accounts reveal that Fawkes was stretched on the rack – a device designed to slowly pull the limbs in opposite directions. This stretching inflicted severe trauma on the shoulders, elbows and hips, as well as the spine.

The forces exerted by the rack probably exceeded those required for joint or hip dislocation under normal conditions.

Substantive differences between Fawkes’ signatures on confessions between November 8 and shortly before his execution may indicate the amount of nerve and soft tissue damage sustained. It also illustrates how remarkable his final leap from the gallows was.

Stage 1: hanging (partial strangulation)

After surviving the torture of the rack, Fawkes and his gang faced the next stage of their punishment: hanging. But this form of hanging only partially strangled the condemned – preserving their consciousness and prolonging their suffering.

Partial strangulation exerts extreme pressure on several critical neck structures. The hyoid bone , a small u-shaped structure above the larynx, is prone to bruising or fracture under compression .

Simultaneously, pressure on the carotid arteries restricts blood flow to the brain, while compression of the jugular veins causes pooling of blood in the head – probably resulting in visible haemorrhages in the eyes and face.

Because the larynx and trachea (both essential for airflow) are partially obstructed, this makes breathing laboured. Strain on the cervical spine and surrounding muscles in the neck can lead to tearing, muscle spasms or dislocation of the vertebra – causing severe pain.

Fawkes brought his agony to a premature end by leaping from the gallows. Accounts from the time tell us:

His body being weak with the torture and sickness, he was scarce able to go up the ladder – yet with much ado, by the help of the hangman, went high enough to break his neck by the fall.

This probably caused him to suffer a bilateral fracture of his second cervical vertebra, assisted by his own bodyweight – an injury known as the “hangman’s fracture” .

Stage 2: Drawing (disembowelment)

After enduring partial hanging, the victim would then be “drawn” – a process which involved disembowelling them while still alive. This act mainly targeted the organs of the abdominal cavity – including the intestines, liver and kidney, as well as major blood vessels such as the abdominal aorta.

The physiological response to disembowelment would have been immediate and severe. The abdominal cavity possesses a high concentration of pain receptors – particularly around the membranous lining of the abdomen . When punctured, these pain receptors would have sent intense pain signals to the brain, overwhelming the body’s capacity for pain management . Shock would soon follow due to the rapid drop in blood pressure caused by massive amounts of blood loss.

Stage 3: quartering (dismemberment)

Quartering was also supposed to be performed while the victim was still alive. Though no accounts exist detailing at what phase victims typically lost consciousness during execution, it’s highly unlikely many survived the shock of being drawn.

So, at this stage, publicity superseded punishment given the victim’s likely earlier demise. Limbs that were removed from criminals were preserved by boiling them with spices. These were then toured around the country to act as a deterrent for others.

Though accounts suggest Fawkes’s body parts were sent to “the four corners of the United Kingdom”, there is no specific record of what was sent where. However, his head was displayed in London .

Traitor’s punishment

The punishment of hanging, drawing and quartering was designed to be as anatomically devastating as it was psychologically terrifying. Each stage of the process exploited the vulnerabilities of the human body to create maximum pain and suffering, while also serving as a grim reminder of the consequences of treason.

This punishment also gives us an insight into how medieval justice systems used the body as a canvas for social and political messaging. Fawkes’s fate, though unimaginable today, exemplifies the extremes to which the state could, and would, go to maintain control, power and authority over its subjects.

The sentence of hanging, drawing and quartering was officially removed from English law as part of the Forfeiture Act of 1870 .
