Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
Ranevsky estate
Ranevsky estate. Madame Ranevsky's estate is located somewhere in the provinces of central Russia. Three acts of the play take place in her large house. Act 1 is set in what was once the nursery, a large, high-ceilinged room which has become an informal meeting place. The second act is set in a field not far from the house, near an old chapel. The third act reveals the true opulence of the house: Its drawing room with a chandelier is in the foreground, and dancing couples can be seen in the ballroom through arches at the rear. Act 4 returns to the nursery, now stripped of its decorations and ready to be vacated by Madame Ranevsky and her family. Madame Ranevsky's world is doomed by economic and social forces usually identified with offstage places. A station is nearby, from which characters go to Russian cities like Kharkov and Moscow. Madame Ranevsky's problems are made acute by her irresponsibilities with both men and money, both of which are associated with Paris.
Cherry orchard
Cherry orchard. The most important part of the setting of three of these acts is the visible symbol of the fragile and doomed beauty of Madame Ranevsky's world, the cherry orchard itself. It is revealed in all its blooming spring beauty through the large, tall windows in act 1. In the next act, it is visible at the edge of the field. It can be seen again in the desolation of act 4, denuded now of its blossoms because it is October.

Shortly before midnight Wednesday, the Yuma Fire Department responded to a reported fire in the 1600 block of West 14th Street. Firefighters found light smoke coming from a townhouse at 1646 West 14th Street. Once inside, a bedroom was found fully engulfed in fire, and was quickly extinguished. The fire was contained to the room where it started, but the rest of the home sustained heavy smoke damage.
Two adult occupants were home at the time of the fire. The male occupant was awakened by smoke alarms in the home, and found a fire in one of the bedrooms. He attempted to extinguish the fire but was overcome by the smoke and exited the residence. He was examined by paramedics on the scene but not transported to the hospital. The other resident was able to safely evacuate.

Marvin Smith, Jr., died after being shot three times outside the Lighthouse Bar on Broadway in south Toledo, but the man who shot him is not currently facing charges.
Police say an altercation Sunday inside the bar spilled out to the parking lot and ended with two men firing shots.
A security guard shot and killed 24-year-old Smith, but police say he acted in self defense.
"Smith had not only shot one security guard, but he was shooting at people in the crowd, and directly at the other security guards that were armed," said TPD Sgt. Joe Heffernan.
Neighbors are still stunned by what happened.
"We don't have things like that happening in this neighborhood," said William Block. "We have car accidents and such like that, but nothing like killing or shooting or whatever."
Police say Smith was part of the altercation inside the bar, and was escorted out by bouncers.
"He took exception to what was going on, went to his vehicle, retrieved a pistol, went back up towards the bar where there was an unarmed security guard at the door, shot him twice," Heffernan said.
That's when police say Smith turned his gun on the crowd.
"At that point, there were two armed security guards in the lot. They heard the shots going off, went towards Mr. Smith," Heffernan said. "Smith actually turned towards them and fired at least two rounds towards their direction."
Police say that's when a guard fired back and hit Smith, killing him.
Although no charges are currently pending against the security officer, a state agency is checking to make sure his license was up to date.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Emily Osment Young & Hungry ABC Family
Emily Osment's new ABC Family show Young & Hungry produced by Ashley Tisdale has been picked up. Production will begin early this year for a premiere later in 2014. In 'Young & Hungry,' two worlds collide when Josh (Sadowski), a wealthy young tech entrepreneur,
Meets Gabi (Osment), a feisty young food blogger, looking to be his personal chef. Gabi is desperate for the job and must prove herself, mostly to Josh's aide (Lee), who prefers a famous chef for the job.
When Josh enlists Gabi to prepare a romantic meal for him and his girlfriend, the dinner goes awry and Gabi finds herself in a very awkward position. With the help of her best friend Sofia (Carrero) and Josh's housekeeper (Whitley),
Gabi turns a difficult situation into an opportunity for employment and maybe even love. 'Young & Hungry' stars Emily Osment, Jonathan Sadowski, Rex Lee, Aimee Carrero and Kym Whitley.

Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center
This landmark 1984 treatise by the noted African-American thinker is "a most extraordinary book," Ashley Judd says. "Her courage and insight are really phenomenal. And hooks emphasizes that we always need to consider class and race when we discuss gender. She has the courage of her convictions and such emotional and intellectual autonomy. And she was so young—32—when she wrote it. It's just remarkable."

And maybe it was just in my head, but game momentum seems more tangible in "NCAA 14" than it's been in past versions. When I got on a roll with the Mountaineers, everything would seemingly go my way -- whether it was completing a pass in tight coverage or intercepting a pass. And when the momentum shifted, I could feel it, as the AI would easily reel off big play after big play. As a result, most of my games were either tightly contested with multiple momentum swings or blowouts where one team was never able to get on track.
College football is as much about pageantry as it is pigskin, and "NCAA 14" does its best to capture the emotion of the games. New crowd audio adds several school-specific chants -- even if the Miami Heat has forever ruined "Seven Nation Army" for me. New cutscenes and pre-game vignettes showcase players and teams in fresh ways. The commentary of Brad Nessler and Kirk Herbstreit is still lacking, but the halftime show featuring Chris Fowler and David Pollack is a
welcome addition. The new menus and interface not only make navigating through "NCAA 14" easier, but they look better, too.
I believe that "NCAA 14" is an outstanding game. But reviewing a sports title is never easy, because no two players are likely to approach the game the same way. Something that I don't consider a flaw may drive you up the wall. Beauty -- and game-killing bugs -- is often in the eye of the beholder. I bring this up not to imply that there's anything wrong with "NCAA 14" --there's nothing wrong as far as I'm concerned -- but rather to offer a piece of advice. Don't let reviews -- this or any other -- be the sole determining factor in whether you purchase "NCAA 14" (or any game, for that matter.) Take advantage of EA's Season Ticket program, try the game for yourself and decide if its worth your hard-earned $60.
I'm now going to get down from my soapbox and get back to loving "NCAA 14." There's a five-star receiver from Florida that's just begging to wear the Old Gold and Blue next season.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"Having already purchased stationary for my recent wedding, the "Thank You" cards were a no-brainer. This design is a perfect way to show off the theme of your wedding. I love that you can include several pictures, since it's so hard to choose! The quality is spectacular, and the delivery time is un-matched. It was purchased on a wednesday and arrived on the monday (I live in Canada!). Amazing. I've never been disappointed with this website, and I've purchased multiple products. Great choice."
"The product was very beautiful. The only problem was that the picture were cut and the head of my husband was cut in the middle. But it doesn't look bad."
"Could't be happier with the color quality. It gave us enough space to share our favorite pictures from our engagement party. So far our guests have offered only raved reviews."
"I love this design!! I purchased Lacy Elegance for my wedding invitations and also bought the matching thank you cards. Everything is absolutely perfect! I just mailed the invites and have already gotten rave reviews from friends and family. Im so impressed with Wedding Paper Divas!!"

The art of evolving old films into brand-new, living and breathing shows has been crafted through 12 years of extemporization experience under Jet City Improv's hilarious belt. Twisted Flicks' talented ensemble will share the rewarding laughs that come from spearing antiquated movies through the belly. You'll take part in a communal audience experience on a larger scale than the dorm-room bunny toss of college years past.
Every evening at El Corazón is a different experience. Although the downtown venue is best known for its rock 'n' roll attitude, its calendar presents a genre-defying variety including comedy shows and punk, electroclash, postrock, and postman rock concerts. The majority of their shows are all ages, with a special bar area for the 21-and-up crowds.
The Seattle Shakespeare Company delivers bard-penned dramatics to eager theatergoers, delighting patrons with fresh takes on Shakespeare's classic plays. Following several plot threads, including the supernaturally altered infatuations of two young couples and the antics of a clownish troupe of actors, A Midsummer Night's Dream deftly mixes fantasy and sidesplitting comedy into a mélange that tickles funny bones and ousts any were-hyenas sitting in the audience. Fairies, love spells, and mistaken identities keep plots rolling merrily along before all is resolved in jubilant fashion. Shows take place at the Intiman Playhouse, with seating that puts theatergoers close enough to see every costume lace ruffle and anachronistically flawless smile.
While musicians bang out rock riffs on the famed Crocodile stage, pie purveyors entertain tongues with thin-crust personal pizzas, pulled hot from blazing wood-fired ovens. Since 1991, the Crocodile stage has served as the honorary home of such rockers as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Cheap Trick, making it a virtual incubator of the Seattle sound. The bar's American-style Neapolitan pies may not be musical, but they still endeavor to delight with harmonious marriages of melted cheese and diners' choice of more than a dozen fresh toppings, including pepperoni, sausage, ham, anchovies, mushrooms, black olives, green peppers. A squirt of Sriracha can make any pizza spicier, and the addition of pineapple can add a tropical sticky-sweetness known to adhere to winning raffle tickets.

You don't need a tiny two-piece to stand out by the water. The retro cut of these swimsuits is a throwback to the sexy-but-not-too-revealing styles popularized by '50s-era sirens. And let's be honest—they looked pretty smokin'.

I use 3 different mascaras on my eyes - Lancome Hypnose Drama and Chanel Le Volume at the top, and at the bottom Dior Diorshow New Look. I tried cheap drugstore removers (which never really worked) and then a friend switched me on to Lancome Bi-Facil (which worked better than anything else I had tried, but required a LOT of work to not tear my lashes out and get the mascara off). Still, I always looked like a raccoon...
I saw the miracle this baby shampoo was doing on my make up brushes (dirt that no other brush cleaner was getting out) and I wanted to try it on my lashes. Just putting a pea size on each eye did it. There was a two second sting but I know that Diorshow stings when I tear up at all, so I don't attribute it to J&J baby shampoo and it's not going to stop me from using either product again.
I don't know about using it as a regular cleanser - just haven't tried it. But I LOVE it as a brush cleaner and eye-makeup remover, especially the amount I get for $4. Like another reviewer said, if you are hesitant you can always try the travel size for $1.50!

Oh, J&J, I must sing your praises for...wait for it...milia removal! Yes, indeedy, and I thank the several ladies on the skin care board who recently mentioned this. I had a fairly decent sized milia bump on my upper eyelid near the eyebrow for what had been at least 5 years, maybe 10. It seemed like forever, that's for sure. Being one of the working uninsured, I refrain from drs/derms unless a body part goes awol. Certainly not for something as mundane as milia, however annoying they can be. In years past I've often tried poking it with a needle, AHA, BHA, and whatever other helpful hints I've read about online for home removal. And nothing worked because it was too big and had been there too long. The nasty bugger just sat there and glared, mocking me and my futile efforts, despite my having successfully vanquished other, smaller milia, mostly with the dramatic (and theoretically dangerous) needle method, in the past.
Fast forward to a little more than a month ago-6 weeks tops- when I read about baby shampoo for milia. After some further online research, and figuring I had nothing to lose, I plucked out $4.00 for a bottle and began washing around my eyes every night and morning with J&J baby shampoo after my regular face cleansing. For a few weeks I thought I was just indulging in wishful thinking when it appeared that monster one on my brow was getting smaller. Just last week, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me as it continued to diminish. But just earlier today I got out of the shower, looked in the mirror and saw a disgusting, but oddly beautiful sight. The monster's milia seeds (yes, multiple-ewww) were almost just sitting there right below the skin surface. All I had to do was lightly squeeze them, and they popped out. A triumphantly happy flashback to my pimple popping teenage years! I've stopped at every mirror in my house this past hour just to exclaim 'holy cow, it's gone!' After at least half a decade living with it, fellow sufferers can surely appreciate my joy?
Obviously YMMV, but In any event, yes, this victorious milia crusader gives very grateful kudos to baby shampoo, and a bottle of J&J will from now on hold grail-like pride of place in my shower. Unfrigging believable! And, by the way, my sensitive skin doesn't mind baby shampoo either.

I use this as a shampoo, as a facial cleanser and as a makeup brush cleanser and i would say it pretty much works! i love the fact that it is gentle and it has a nice smell. I would definitely recommend it although i have to say with a very small amount of product will do if you are going to use it as a facial cleanser.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
really good as a brush cleaner, it is an absolute no no for my skin though, massive allergic rash, also happened to my children when they were babies so we are just too sensistive to use it.
it does remove the stubborn long wear makeup from my brushes though and doesnt leave a residue and its inexpensive, so for that reason i would repurchase.

I love this as a facial cleanser! I have been using this as a facial cleanser since my son was a toddler, about 6 years. I ran out of my regular face cleanser in the shower and decided to use the baby shampoo...if it's gentle enough for baby skin, it should be gentle enough for my face. Well, it worked! I started using it at night to remove makeup and after a while couldn't believe how nicely my skin looked...and totally cleared up any little trouble spots that I had. I live in a dry state and I just turned 46 and I get compliments all the time about how nice my skin looks...I don't look 46. People ask what I use and can't believe that I use baby shampoo. I would without hesitation recommend this as a facial cleanser!

As someone else mentioned below, I use this to clean my make up brushes and it's amazing for that purpose. Its gentle and leaves them soft and thoroughly cleaned :)
This shampoo is amazing for people who get styes. It heals them up without irritation (at least most people, some have said they do get irritated near the eye. It also takes makeup off like a pro. Some days when I forget my cleanser and I'm in the shower, I just use this. It can be drying so I wouldn't use it every day. Also, thanks for the brush cleaning tip!!! :D
I use Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo primarily to clean the bristles of my makeup brushes. It works very well and is gentle enough not to damage the brush. Highly recommend for this feature alone

I love using this to clean my makeup brushes. Its gentle enough to not damage the bristles, but strong enough to really clean the makeup off. Plus it makes your brushes smell so great! For a deep clean, I mix a bit of baby shampoo, baby oil, and baking soda with water to break up the gunky makeup. Then I squeeze out the excess water, wash with baby soap and BOOM! Clean brushes.

The New York City Fire Department today announced that nine members of the Department�s Incident Management Team (IMT) have been activated to assist the U.S. Forest Service and Arizona firefighters in battling the raging Cave Creek Complex wildfire in the Tonto National Forest in northwest Arizona. More than 112,000 acres have been consumed in this fire.
FDNY members have been assigned to the two Type I IMT�s that have been activated for this fire. They will be involved in the planning, safety and management of multi-agency resources for the more than 800 firefighters battling the fire on the frontlines. The FDNY is the only structural firefighting team in the country with the training and capability to be assigned and activated to this type emergency incident.
Since 2003, more than 100 Department members have received extensive classroom and field training from federal instructors in utilizing IMT�s to manage large-scale, long-duration disasters. That same year, members received hands-on training at major forest fire sites in the Western states. FDNY members are also specifically trained to handle the management and logistics of large-scale disasters in urban environments. The development of the IMT�s and training on the Incident Command System is an outgrowth of the Fire Department�s Strategic Plan created in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.
FDNY Members Activated to Arizona:
Deputy Chief Bob Maynes, Division 13 EMS Division Chief Mark Stone Battalion Chief Charles Williams, Battalion 9 Battalion Chief John Gulotta, Battalion 17 Battalion Chief John Belnavis, Battalion 9 Battalion Chief George Maier, Battalion 9 Battalion Chief Paul Tauber, Battalion 50 Battalion Chief George Carlin, Battalion 16 Capt. Justin Werner, Ladder Company 147

Pros: Sounds fantastic, Very comfortable, Sturdy build quality, Attractive aesthetic design, Super portable, Serviceable
Cons: Doesn't isolate, A hair less comfortable than before
This will be a very brief comparison review with the PX100, my review of which can be found here: http://www.head-fi.org/products/sennheiser-px-100-collapsible-headphones/reviews/8181
This is the most striking difference between the PX100 and PX100ii, with the latter being the far better off. The PX100 has aged noticeably, and the updated version really does look far nicer. Sennheiser have updates the aesthetics of classic without resorting to gaudy, flashy design choices. The PX100ii is sleek, modern, dark and stylish. I think it's a really great looking headphone. I especially like the little Senn logo on the arms, as well as the new cup design.
Build Quality
Both headphones are very well built for their respective price points, but the more expensive PX100ii improves upon the build at nearly every turn. The PX100ii is a little bit larger and bulkier in it's body, so it feels much nicer in the hands and is better re-enforced.

Después de dos horas de entrenamiento, el grupo, liderado por el capitán Dan Kennedy, se alistó para echarle una nevera llena de hielo y agua al jugador. Tras la gran sorpresa, los jugadores presentaron a Marky con un pastel de cumpleaños, aniversario que cumplirá el día del jueves, pero que por motivos del viaje con la selección, la celebración tuvo que haber sido adelantada. Delgado se mostró sorprendido y contento por la celebración que le hicieron sus compañeros.

Chivas USA had a reason to celebrate in this Wednesday's training session at The Home Depot Center's Track and Field Stadium; the team bid Marky Delgado farewell as the youngster joins the U.S. U18 squad in Portugal and celebrated his 18th birthday.

The InputBox extension adds already created HTML forms to wiki pages. Users can "complete" a form (entering text, selecting menu items, etc.) by entering text into the box.
InputBox was originally created by Erik Möller for the purpose of adding a Create an article box to Wikinews.
Download[edit | edit source]
You can download the extension directly from the MediaWiki source code repository (browse code). You can get:
- One of the extensions tags
Not all extensions have tags. Some extensions have tags for each release, in which case those tags have the same stability as the release. To download a tag
- Go to the tags list
- Click the name of the tag you want to download
- Click "snapshot"
- The latest version of one of the extensions branches
Each extension has a master branch containing the latest code (might be unstable). Extensions can have further branches as well.
- Go to the branches list
- Click the branch name
- Click "snapshot"
- A snapshot made during the release of a MediaWiki version.
This might be unstable and is not guaranteed to work with the associated MediaWiki version.
After you've got the code, save it into the extensions/InputBox directory of your wiki.
If you are familiar with git and have shell access to your server, you can obtain the extension, with all its tags and branches, as follows:
cd extensions
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions/InputBox.git
Installation[edit | edit source]
- Download and extract the files in a directory called
in yourextensions/
folder. If you're a developer and this extension is in a Git repository, then instead you should clone the repository. - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/InputBox/InputBox.php" );
- Done – Navigate to "Special:Version" on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Example[edit | edit source]
Box for starting a new article.
Wiki code[edit | edit source]<inputbox> type=create break=no </inputbox> |
Result[edit | edit source] |
General syntax[edit | edit source]
InputBoxes are constructed like this:
<inputbox> type= bgcolor= width= default= preload= editintro= buttonlabel= hidden= searchbuttonlabel= break= namespaces= prefix= placeholder= </inputbox> |
The type parameter is mandatory. All other parameters are optional.
Box types[edit | edit source]
The default location of the submit button(s) is below the input box. The submit button can be moved to the right by using the line break parameter to eliminate the line break between the input box and the submit button: break=no
Having the submit button to the right is useful for search boxes when search suggestions would otherwise cover up a search button below the search box.
Type | Example | Description |
type=search |
Creates a search box which has a default width of 50 characters. Information added in the text box is searched for. |
type=create |
Creates a new page. Information added in the text box is the name of the page which is edited. |
type=comment |
Adds a new section to the bottom of the page specified in the text box. |
type=commenttitle |
Adds a new section with the section header typed into the text box. The page has to be specified with page= parameter. Added in rev:42703. |
type=fulltext |
Search only with the fulltext search button, without the 'Go' button. Added in rev:45269. |
For type=search2 the default location for the search button is to the right. Currently, it does not seem to be possible to add other parameters to this type of input box. This search box searches the entire wiki that it is placed on.
Type | Example |
type=search2 |
Parameters[edit | edit source]
Parameter | Description | Scope | Compatibility | Example | Result |
bgcolor= | Sets the table background color (HTML color values). Do not use quotes. | All types | ? |

Applying create to an existing page simply gives the edit page. In that case preload is ignored. Applying comment for a new page works.
The texts taken from the MediaWiki: namespace are of course only examples, any existing page can be used for editintro or preload. Unfortunately preload does not yet work for the Special:Upload summary.
Alignment enhancement[edit | edit source]
If there is a need to define alignment each time an input box is used, one option is to just remove the div tag from the input box HTML and specify the div when posting the InputBox. A more versatile option would be to add the following code which allows changing the alignment in the options. By installing this modified copy of the code then you can specify align=left, align=center, or align=right. Caution! The linked code is from Feb.2007. There have been bug fixes and feature additions to both MediaWiki and InputBox since that time. You may need to test for compatibility and functionality.
As of version 0.1.4, you can manually add an option to set alignment by doing the following:
Open file: extensions/InputBox/InputBox.classes.php
At line 37 add:
private $mAlign = '';
At lines 97, 326, 436 replace:
text-align: center;
text-align: '. $this->mAlign .';
At line 556 find:
'dir' => 'mDir',
add after on new line:
'align' => 'mAlign',
Now, when you create a new inputbox you can use "align=ALIGNMENT" to specify the alignment of the div that contains the form.
<inputbox> type=create align=left break=no </inputbox>
Parser function[edit | edit source]
Using InputBox in a template
In order to create many similar input boxes, InputBox can be used in a template. However, passing template parameters to InputBox parameters only works if the <inputbox>...</inputbox> tag is written as {{#tag:inputbox | ...}} inside the template.
The following example is a template to create a new wiki page from a named template:
{{#tag:inputbox | type=create buttonlabel=Create new {{{1|article}}} preload={{{2|Template:Article}}} }}
When instantiating the template, the first parameter gives the item that is created (default: article) as spelled out in the button, the second parameter gives the name of the template used to create the item (default: Template:Article).
E.g., the code for an input box to create a new project from a project template might look like this:

On a June day when temperatures hit the low-20s, it was sledge hockey that was a featured attraction in Vancouver as four members of Canada's National Sledge Team took to the ice with six local young sledge players for a demonstration in front of a member of England's Royal Family.
His Royal Highness, Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, joined B.C. premier Gordon Campbell and other local dignitaries to watch Adam Dixon, Hervé Lord, Todd Nicholson and Greg Westlake on the ice at UBC Thunderbird Arena, the home of sledge hockey for next March's Paralympic Winter Games.
The prince, seventh in line of succession to the throne, chatted for 15 minutes with the players following the demonstration and accepted three Hockey Canada jerseys with 'WESSEX' on the back – one for the prince and two for his children.
Prince Edward, a patron of the British Paralympic Association, is expected to be in Vancouver and Whistler for the 2010 Paralympics. He attended the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing, presenting an equestrian gold medal to Canada's Lauren Barwick.

The use of capital punishment in Saudi Arabia is based on Sharia (or Islamic law) and is prominent internationally because of the wide range of crimes which can result in the death penalty and because it is usually carried out by public beheading. In 2011, the Saudi government reported 26 executions in the country.[1] Foreigners are not exempt.
Unlike executions in most other countries that have not abolished the death penalty, Saudi Arabia performs public executions in central Riyadh, instead of privately executing criminals in prisons. It is one of the last five countries to still carry out public executions, the other four being Iran, Syria, North Korea, and Yemen.[citation needed]
Methods and scope[edit]
Saudi Arabia has a criminal justice system based on a hardline and literal form of Sharia law reflecting a particular state-sanctioned interpretation of Islam.
The death penalty can be imposed for a wide range of offences[2] including murder, rape, false prophecy, armed robbery, repeated drug use, apostasy,[3] adultery,[4] witchcraft and sorcery[5] and can be carried out by beheading with a sword,[6] or more rarely by firing squad, and sometimes by stoning.
The 345 reported executions between 2007 and 2010 were all carried out by public beheading.[7] The last reported execution for sorcery took place in 2012.[8] There were no reports of stoning between 2007 and 2010,[7] but between 1981 and 1992 there were four cases of execution by stoning reported.[9]
Crucifixion of the beheaded body is sometimes ordered.[5] For example, in 2009, the Saudi Gazette reported that "An Abha court has sentenced the leader of an armed gang to death and three-day crucifixion (public displaying of the beheaded body) and six other gang members to beheading for their role in jewelry store robberies in Asir."[10] (This practice resembles gibbeting, in which the entire body is displayed).
In 2003, Muhammad Saad al-Beshi, whom the BBC described as "Saudi Arabia's leading executioner", gave a rare interview to Arab News.[3] He described his first execution in 1998: "The criminal was tied and blindfolded. With one stroke of the sword I severed his head. It rolled metres away...People are amazed how fast [the sword] can separate the head from the body."[3] He also said that before an execution he visits the victim's family to seek forgiveness for the criminal, which can lead to the criminal's life being spared.[3] Once an execution goes ahead, his only conversation with the prisoner is to tell him or her to recite the Muslim declaration of belief, the Shahada.[3] "When they get to the execution square, their strength drains away. Then I read the execution order, and at a signal I cut the prisoner's head off," he said.[3]
Capital crimes[edit]
Sharia background[edit]
The Saudi judiciary can impose the death penalty according to three categories of criminal offence in Sharia law:[12]
- Hudud: Fixed Quranic punishments for specific crimes.[12] Hudud crimes which can result in the death penalty include apostasy, adultery, and sodomy.[13]
- Qisas: Eye-for-an-eye retaliatory punishments.[12] Qisas crimes include murder.[12] Families of someone murdered can choose between demanding the death penalty or granting clemency in return for a payment of diyya, or blood money, by the perpetrator.[14] A trend has developed of exorbitant blood-money demands: a recent report mentions a sum of $11 million demanded in exchange for clemency.[14]
- Tazir: A general category, including crimes defined by national regulations, some of which can be punished by death, such as drug trafficking.[12]
A conviction requires proof in one of three ways:[15]
- An uncoerced confession.[15]
- The testimony of two male witnesses can result in conviction. This excludes "hudud crimes", in which case a confession is also required.[15]
- An affirmation or denial by oath can be required.[15]
Giving an oath is taken particularly seriously in a religious society such as Saudi Arabia's,[15] and a refusal to take an oath will be taken as an admission of guilt resulting in conviction.[16]
List of crimes[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (July 2013) |
Saudi law allows the death penalty for many crimes. For example:
- Adultery (Unmarried adulterers can be sentenced to 100 lashes, married ones can be sentenced to stoning.)
- Apostasy (Apostates are sentenced to beheading but are usually given three days to repent and return to Islam.)
- Armed robbery
- Blasphemy
- Burglary
- Carjacking
- Aircraft hijacking
- Drug smuggling
- Fornication
- Home invasion
- Sodomy, homosexuality, or lesbianism (If a man or women is sodomized by their own consent, then they will also be sentenced to death along with the sodomizer)
- Idolatry
- Murder
- Rape
- Sedition
- Sexual misconduct
- Sorcery
- Terrorism
- Theft (fourth conviction)
- Treason
- Waging war on God
- Witchcraft
In order for a woman to be convicted in a Saudi sharia court of adultery, she must confess to the act three times in front of the court, or four males or eight females who witnessed the sexual penetration must testify in front of the court. The burden of proof is on the accuser. The execution method for adultery for a man is beheading, and for a woman is stoning. Sandra Mackey, author of The Saudis: Inside the Desert Kingdom, stated in 1987 that in Saudi Arabia, "unlike the tribal rights of a father to put to death a daughter who has violated her chastity, death sentences under Qur'anic law [for adultery] are extremely rare."[17] Mackey explained that "[c]harges of adultery are never made lightly. Since the penalty is so severe, women are protected from unfounded accusations of sexual misconduct."[17] During a human rights dialog with European jurists that took place several years before 1987, a Saudi delegate acknowledged that it is difficult to have a person convicted of adultery.[17] According to Mackey, in a 20 year period ending in 1987, one woman "is acknowledged to" have been executed by stoning for adultery.[17]
Murder is punishable by death in Saudi Arabia. If a murderer pays a family of the victim Blood money, and the family approves of the choice, the murderer will not be executed. The criminal justice system waits until the family makes a decision on whether the family of the victim will accept blood money.[18] If the family of the victim chooses to have the murderer executed, the family has the right to execute the convicted. Sandra Mackey said "[t]he most gruesome beheadings are those carried out by the victim's relatives where, lacking the professionalism of the public executioner, the condemned is repeatedly hacked and chopped until he dies."[17]
The use of public beheading or stoning as the methods of capital punishment and the number of executions have attracted strong international criticism.[19] Several executions, particularly of foreign workers have sparked international outcries. In June 2011 Ruyati binti Satubi, an Indonesian maid, was beheaded for killing her employer's wife, reportedly after years of abuse.[20][21] A video of the execution, posted online, drew extensive criticism.[22] In September 2011, a Sudanese migrant worker was beheaded for "sorcery",[23] an execution which Amnesty International condemned as "appalling".[24] In January 2013 a Sri Lankan maid named Rizana Nafeek was beheaded after she was convicted of murdering a child under her care, an occurrence which she attributed to the infant choking. The execution drew international condemnation of the government's practises,[25] and led Sri Lanka to recall its ambassador.[26] These are not isolated cases. According to figures by Amnesty International, in 2010 at least 27 migrant workers were executed and, as of January 2013[update], more than 45 foreign maids were on death row awaiting execution.[27]
