The massacres continued for months and culminated in August and September when hundreds of men women and children were killed in the villages of Rais, Bentalha and Beni Messous. Pregnant women were sliced open, children were hacked to pieces or dashed against walls, men's limbs were hacked off one by one, and, as the attackers retreated, they would kidnap young women to keep as sex slaves. The GIA issued a communiqué signed by Zouabri claiming responsibility for the massacres and justifying them—in contradiction to his manifesto—by declaring impious (takfir) all those Algerians who had not joined its ranks.Kepel, Jihad, 2002: p.

The geology of the area in which the Green Bridge of Wales is located is composed of a very thick layer of Carboniferous Limestone, including a certain amount of chert. Erosion has occurred over time as storm winds have battered the coast, pebbles have been dashed against the rocks, sand particles have worn away the surface, and chemical erosion has dissolved the limestone. The weakest parts of the cliff are the first to be worn away, usually the folds and small faults that are present in the rocks. This has resulted over many millennia in the creation of many unusual landforms.

It could also be that the 'victors' are bloody due to the injuries, both emotionally and physically, they have caused to the speakers by taking them from their homes by force, and therefore the blood from the speakers is on their hands. Whichever conclusion is taken from this line, it is clear that violence has happened in some form. > "Yea happy, who thy little ones Shall take and dash against the stones." > (lines 39–40) These lines are definitely darker than the previous quote, as it is literally saying that the speakers will be happy to see their captors punished by having their children thrown/dashed against stones.

The brother had the king of the fishes bring him the box, used the key to open it, had the king of the birds bring him the dove after it flew off, and carried off the egg.

In the closing scene, Phèdre, now calm, appears before Theseus to confess her guilt and to confirm Hippolytus's innocence.

As an act of atonement and in respect for his son's parting promise, Theseus pardons Aricia and adopts her as his daughter.

Upon landing, Caesar left Quintus Atrius in charge of the beach-head and made an immediate night march inland, where he encountered the British forces at a river crossing, probably somewhere on the River Stour. The Britons attacked but were repulsed, and attempted to regroup at a fortified place in the forests, possibly the hillfort at Bigbury Wood, Kent, but were again defeated and scattered. As it was late in the day and Caesar was unsure of the territory, he called off the pursuit and made camp. However, the next morning, as he prepared to advance further, Caesar received word from Atrius that, once again, his ships at anchor had been dashed against each other in a storm and suffered considerable damage.

Two crew were lost from Boticara which sank near the Isla de Naranjos. Between 29 November and 3 December, most of the fleet had managed to maintain some kind of cohesion though weather conditions remained poor. Nuestra Señora de Encarnación sank sometime during this period at an area called Punta de Brujas (En: Witch's Point) at the mouth of the Chagres River, possibly after being separated from the rest of the fleet. It was at this time that three ships of the fleet were sunk as a result of the storm with Nuestra Señora de Encarnación sinking after being dashed against some rocks resulting in the deaths of the "owner" and much of the crew around 3 December after a few days in the storm.

In Sinhalese, Diyaluma or Diya Haluma means "rapid flow of water" or may be translated as "liquid light". According to Sri Lankan historian, Dr. R. L. Brohier, Diyaluma is the setting of the folklore about a tragedy involving a young chieftain who had been banished to the highlands and the attempt by his betrothed to join. As all the passes were guarded the young man let down a rope of twisted creepers over the escarpment, as she was hauled up she was dashed against the rocks and died. The Gods, moved to pity by the harrowing spectacle, caused a stream of water to gush from the mountain and veil all evidence of the tragedy in a watery light, hence the term Diyaluma.

While these would have been new world records, the flight was not officially timed, and was therefore not recognized as such. On September 23, 1925, the U.S. Navy flew 23 Curtiss CS-1 floatplanes to Bay Shore Park on the Chesapeake Bay, 14 miles SE of Baltimore, Maryland, on a Friday with the intention of an air show demonstration before the 1925 Schneider Cup Race on Saturday, but that night gale-force winds broke three-inch mooring and anchor ropes on 17 of the biplanes and they were blown onto shore or dashed against seawalls, destroying seven and damaging ten. The next afternoon's Baltimore Evening Sun had the headline "Plane Disaster in Harbor Called Hard Blow to Navy" and quoted General William "Billy" Mitchell, who called the loss of the CS-1s "staggering" and blamed it on Navy mismanagement of its aviation program.Gough, Michael, "Doolittle Wins In Baltimore", Airpower, November 2005, Volume 35, Number 11, page 50.

" Fiona Mountford of the Evening Standard described it as "the nearest theatre has yet come to a credit crunch play", commenting that "Butler worries at some weighty themes in his spare script, covering not only our have-now-pay-later culture but also the failure of feminist rhetoric when countered with the brutal facts of female biology." However, she was frustrated that Butler's "theoretical arguments are not pushed far enough", but congratulated it as "a thrillingly no-holds-barred production, powered by commendably raw performances from Drew and O’Neill." Dominic Cavendish of The Daily Telegraph wrote that "Butler's outstanding new play - his best yet - catches the mood of the moment in its raw and devastating account of a couple who got swept along on a tide of easy credit, only to end up dashed against a northern rock of debt." Praising the "intensely pitiful scene that can shift in the space of a phrase from the bleakly funny to the unbearably excruciating", the reviewer went on to say that "I can't think of a recent play that catches so acutely the way that, while it may be tough up North, it can be grim down South too.

After nightfall, the gale developed into a "terrible hurricane", and at midnight, Tejuca shipped another sea which rolled the ship almost on her beam ends, broke most of the yards and destroyed or swept away everything on deck including the lifeboats, and also contaminated the crews food stores and drinking water. By the 7th, without provisions and with waves broaching over the deck and the ship "nearly on a level with the water and settling fast", the captain and crew had given up hope of survival when, at about 1 pm, a sail appeared on the horizon, belonging to the ship Excelsior--a small merchant vessel of about the same tonnage as Tejuca. Excelsiors captain, Eben Mitchell of Kennebunk, Maine, had seen Tejucas plight and determined to aid her crew, in spite of his own vessel having taken a severe battering from the hurricane. When within range, Mitchell first attempted to launch one or more of his ships lifeboats, but these were either swamped or dashed against the side of his ship and destroyed: > Nothing then remained for the doomed crew save the desperate expedient of > placing the ships alongside.
