I began to translate already today.

Here are the first four torture manners in disordered sequence - the relativly easy manners first... (Translation fails I please to excuse)

lead press, crown squeezer
Torture or execution. For using this instruments the head was layed into a vise and this was screwed down more and more until – akin the squeezing of grapes – heavy pressure weighed on the crowm of the accused until the crown broke.

to drown
Torture or execution. The tortured was, shackled on hands or within a cage on a rope launched to water (sea, river harbor) again and again so that he couldn't breath less or longer time. This was made by using a crane frame. Every time he was lifted above the water there was the ability to admit something. If he didn't he was launched again.

weights
Torture or execution. The tortured was laid on a table and strapped down. On his chest was placed a plank. Oin this plank was laid heavy weights, those took him the breath. If the tortured didn't admit was put more and more weights on the plank – until the chest broke.

to broil
Torture or execution. The tortured was affixed above a fire place in a kind (eighter erectly fixed by a picket or layed on a frame) that you could ingnite a small fire below his feet. The feet lubed up by grease and the fire ignited. First burned up the skin on the feet until the substance was visibly. The smell of the own burned substance ingressed into the nose of the tortured. The torture could take so long until the feet-bones was visibly.

Hi shiny,

my trouble to translate isn't the problem... but I'm worry about your mental condition after reading this...

Okay, okay I'll begin to translate within the next days.

Best regards

Hi flora,

good watch... Russia is one of the countries they have avoided harsher measures against NKorea for a long time. But also the Chinese aren't really interested in a change of the relative strength on the Korean peninsula.
I think all participants will mediate a kind of truce again and Kim will stop his nuclear upgrade for a while - against payment by a lot of cash and relief supplies.
You can say about Kim what you want, but I think he isn't so crazy to pick a quarrel. Far from it! I believe devoutly that he's calculating very exactly what he can do and what he better shouldn't do currrently.
Already for a long time the Kim-dynasty play a weird game - and as yet they won again and again...

Wheee! I'm sure that you've never seen a bathroom on a not managed rest area nearby an Austrian expressway... The filth there begins to grow to an independent intelligent life-form and if you don't run away from there very hurry, it begins a profound dialog with you...

Best regards

Hi flora,
you're welcome. But I don't think to have great plans - I only try to live consequently a way of life, I accept my responsibility for the next generations. And in my opinion this resonsibility doesn't start in any great projects to save the polar bears, the oceans, the world or what ever, but in very "small" things within the own house and outside the own door. I have to make sure that my children and their children come upon a worth living environment. I have a treaty with the following generations. My dwell time here is defined and I don't realize that my children have to remove my own waste...
I don't speak here about abdication but to think about a useful and responsible handling our ressources and a lot of (alleged) little things, which everybody could do.

Best regards

Ingo
