WEDNESDAY 15th SEPTEMBER 2010 06:10(BST) - BATTLE OF BRITAIN DAY
THIS DAY IN WW2(15.9.40) Known after as BATTLE OF BRITAIN DAY
This was the decisive day of the Battle of Britain....
Kesselring makes another great effort against London. He plans two main raids but they cannot be timed to catch the RAF fighters refueling because his strength is sufficiently reduced that he must send the same fighters on both occasions. He can muster 400 fighters but less than 200 bombers in the morning attack. The fighting is very heavy with the Germans being harried all the way to London, then being heavily engaged over London and all the way back to the coast. The bombers are not able to drop their loads with any accuracy at all.
The afternoon shows a similar story but the fighter battles are more intense and the bombers bomb nearer to their targets as a consequence. Although the fighter combats have gone about equally the German bomber losses are very severe, bring the German loss for the day to 60 aircraft for a bag of 26 from the RAF. Many more German bombers have been damaged or have crewmen dead or wounded. Their morale suffers as they meet up to 300 RAF fighters in one raid after their leaders have told them that the RAF as a whole has less than this number. Although it is not apparent at the time or for several weeks afterward, this is the last real attempt by the Luftwaffe to destroy the resistance of Fighter Command.
USSR... The USSR modifies its conscription laws. From now on 19-20 year olds will be conscripted.
Canada... Following legislation passed in August single men between 21 and 24 are called up.

TUESDAY 14th SEPTEMBER 2010 08:00(BST)
THIS DAY IN WW2(14.9.40)
Over Britain... The daytime attacks on London are repeated again after two quieter days. The night attacks have been continuing without respite. The fighting goes well for the Luftwaffe with 14 planes lost on either side. With some justification it appears to the Luftwaffe leaders that the RAF is almost beaten.
In Berlin... Hitler decides that Goring needs four or five consecutive days of fine weather to hammer home his advantage. Accordingly he defers his decision on the invasion once more, until September 17th, which in turn means that the invasion cannot take place until September 27th. This is a final date because October 8th might be the only day when conditions will be suitable for the landing; this is dangerously near winter for the exploitation stage of the invasion. There can almost certainly be no further postponement.

THIS DAY IN WW2(13.9.40)
In North Africa... The Italian forces begin a cautious offensive from Libya into Egypt. They have five divisions in the attack with another eight in rear areas in Libya. Marshal Graziani is in command. The British Western Desert Force of two divisions is led by General O'Connor. On the first day the Italians occupy Sollum as the British pull back. During the months since the Italian declaration of war there have been no actions of any size, but the Italian numerical superiority has been morally undermined by much offensive patrolling by the British forces. These harassing tactics are now employed to good effect against the Italian offensive.
In Britain... The British bring heavy units of the Royal Navy nearer to the likely invasion area. The battleships Nelson and Rodney join the Hood at Rosyth and the Revenge is at Plymouth. There are, of course, strong cruiser and destroyer forces in relevant positions.
In East Africa... Italian troops from Ethiopia penetrate up to 20 miles into Kenya in a tentative advance.

TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I am now getting a good feel of practising surrender - literally. I can physically feel when I'm doing it. The sensation is, oddly, slightly unpleasant - I feel leaden and with a weight on my neck and shoulders, but this is more than compensated for by being relaxed and detached from my emotions, which feels like relief and liberation - my emotions charge around in my mind without possessing me - I'm able to fully experience them without being or thinking them.
I am now making surrender the centre of my attention with the intention of expanding it into a continual unbroken experience.

TRIVIA
The last execution in the Tower of London took place on Thursday, August 14, 1941, when Josef Jakobs, a German spy, was shot by an eight-man firing squad. Because he had suffered a broken ankle when he had parachuted into England on the night of January 31, 1941, he could not stand before the firing squad and he was, instead, seated in an old Windsor chair and tied up. Five of the eight shots pierced his heart.

This tactic effectively counters the sonar [referred to by the British as ASDIC because it was developed by the Allied Submarine Detection Investigation Committee] equipped escorts.
Over Britain... The German attacks on the British airfields continue. Effort is wasted on less vital aircraft factories. They attack a more important airplane plant at Brooklands. The RAF is now flying more sorties per day than the combined total of the German bombers and fighters.
In Britain... The King and Queen visit RAF Fighter Command headquarters at Bentley Priory, Stanmore (Middlesex). Meanwhile, a German agent, Caroli, lands by parachute in Oxon and he is arrested almost immediately.
In Vichy France... General Weygand resigns from the government. He takes command of Vichy French forces in north Africa.

How come when mummy's tired, I'm the one who has to go to bed? : D
TODAY'S TUNE I LIKE
I got kinda dragged down finding dreadful songs to bitch about, so I've replaced it with a new feature of songs I like. Though predominantly rock/metal, my taste is quite eclectic so equally as often you'll find a non rock tune in this feature. The opening song would be on many people's bottom 100 list, but I think it's enjoyable singalong fun.

TRIVIA
You can avoid jet-lag on a long haul flight by fasting and drinking water between departing and arriving.
TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
Everything that's happening to me is essential to my success!
In Romania... There are political upheavals following the recent losses of territory by the Vienna Award. King Carol gives General Antonescu full powers.
Over Britain... German effort is wasted on less vital aircraft factories. They attack a bomber factory at Weybridge.
From Washington... The United States warns the Japanese government against making aggressive moves in Indochina.
TODAY IN MY LIFE
Blogging then all domestic.
TODAY'S THOUGHT
Life is NOT a problem to be fixed, but a rollercoaster ride to be experienced.
TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Having made a quantum leap in emotional intelligence, I have been immediately confronted with the necessity to take on the Dharmic principle of Surrender.

THIS DAY IN WW2 (3.9.40)
From Berlin... The operational orders for the invasion of Britain are issued. It is confirmed that the decision to go will be taken 10 days before the invasion is to take place. S-Day is now scheduled for September 21st.
TODAY IN MY LIFE
Launching a promotional campaign at HEAVEN SCENT - an alternative cafe in Shipley, offering stress/anxiety relief at a bargain price every Tuesday in Sept-Oct 2010
TODAY'S THOUGHT
There is no more informed coach than your intuition.
TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
With my own emotions in the best state they've ever been, time to mend some fences and tweak others emotions also!
TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Imagine how your behaviour would change if you were peaceful inside.

GARY'S ALL TIME BOTTOM 100 HITS
19. THE WURZELS - Combine Harvester (Brand New Key)
A cringeworthy embarrassing attempt at humour from the West Country
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb63PdPweDc
TRIVIA
A meal dominated by carbohydrate (bread, pasta, potato) will make you feel sleepy afterwards. A protein meal (meat, fish, eggs, quorn) will perk you up. However carbohydrate for breakfast is less soporific because your mind and body are at a natural peak in alertness in the late morning.

A smile outside makes me smile inside!

THURSDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER 2010 06:40(BST)
THIS DAY IN WW2 (2.9.40)
In Washington... Following the agreement made in July and later detailed negotiations, a deal is now ratified between Britain and the USA by which Britain gets 50 old destroyers, veterans of World War I, but desperately needed for escort work, in return for bases granted to the United States in the West Indies and Bermuda. Considerable modification will be necessary to make the ships ready for service.
Over Britain... The German attacks on the British airfields continue.
In the Mediterranean... Admiral Cunningham's fleet is reinforced by the battleship Valiant and the carrier Illustrious from Gibraltar. He now has three battleships and two carriers. The composition of the Gibraltar based Force H varies greatly from time to time because of the uncertainty regarding the behavior of the French Fleet. The Italians now have five battleships in commission, including two modern ships.
TODAY IN MY LIFE
Blogging first thing then mainly domestic.
TODAY'S THOUGHT
Do not waste mental resources on grieving about what hasn't been lost yet.
TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Emotional Intelligence standing up well to big tests - this is a significant growth point!
TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Are you trying to hold on to something that isn't there?

18. STATUS QUO - MARGERITA TIME (1983)
Let's all face it, this mawkish nonsense is rubbish. I'm a Quo fan and I think it's rubbish. Bassist Alan Lancaster hated it so much he refused to appear on this vid and left the band over it.

TRIVIA
A scientific report form the University of California found that the steam rising from a cup of coffee contains the same amounts of antioxidants as three oranges.
TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
I feel feelings of comfort and pleasure right now!
