THIS DAY IN WW2 (31.1.1940)
Over Northern Europe... There are RAF daylight raids on Cologne, Rotterdam (oil supplies), Ijmuiden (docks) and the bridge over the Rhine River near Emmerich.
Over Albania... Valona is bombed during the day by British aircraft.
In East Africa... RAF planes attack Assab in Italian East Africa.
In Britain... The threat from incendiary bombs results in the stationing of "fire-watchers" in all factories, shops and offices.
TODAY IN MY LIFE
In a repeat of Christmas Eve, a day lost in the "supplementary job" until 7.15pm when an evening of "prolonged marital quality time" will follow - oo-er!
TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Rather than logic and reasoning, I instinctively turn to intuition when I feel any kind of concern.
TODAY'S THOUGHT
What power over others would be yours if you were focused on their thoughts rather than your own!
TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
How will you make 2011 different from 2010?
TODAY'S ONELINER
When you meet a caring sensitive man, he's usually with his boyfriend! : D

THIS DAY IN WW2 (29.12.1940)
From Washington... In one of his famous "fireside chat" broadcasts President Roosevelt describes how he wishes the United States to become the "arsenal of democracy" and to give full aid to Britain regardless of threats from other countries.
Over Britain... An attack on London during the night of December 29-30 is heavy and destructive.
TODAY IN MY LIFE
After four days of joyous slobbery, it's time to get some order back, beginning with a good bath and shaving off a week's worth of stubble. Thereafter it's time to exercise and diet back on track!

TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Intuitive living is now becoming automatic and the peace within is delicious! Nothing has "gone away" or "turned up", only perspective and focus is different.
TODAY'S THOUGHT
Quoting from others shows learning - quoting from the heart shows wisdom.
TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Does the universe have a limit?
TODAY'S ONELINER
Behind a successful man there's a woman. Behind unsuccessful men there's two women. : D

TRIVIA
In addition to approximately 6 million Jews, German military forces, mainly the SS, killed another 6 million civilians in World War 2.
In Poland, the Germans and Russians between them murdered half of all Poles with a formal education. In terms of proportion of the population, Poland suffered more deaths than any other country in World War 2, losing 16% of its people. (5.5 million).
In terms of individuals, the greatest deaths by far were suffered by the former Soviet Union, where a staggering 23 million (14% of the population) died as a direct result of World War 2.
TODAY'S AFFIRMATION
Today I express gratitude for everything at my disposal!

THIS DAY IN WW2 (28.12.1940)
In the Balkans... The Greeks bring their offensive to an end for the moment in order to consolidate their gains and improve communications with the front.
TODAY IN MY LIFE
After three most enjoyable days of "letting myself go", this last day of recreation will see some sort of personal discipline reintroduced, although there will still be time aplenty to do my own thing, with wife making another visit to daughter today.
Twitter Followers = 999(down 1)
TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
"Raw nerves" proving robust under my new mindset - the next challenge is to optimise the opportunities that each moment presents.
TODAY'S THOUGHT
What makes something enjoyable truly fun is when there is some form of participation involved.
TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Why do you press the remote control harder when the batteries are flat?
TODAY'S ONELINER
Cry and you cry alone. Laugh alone and the world thinks you're nuts! : D
GOTH GIRL OF THE DAY
Just because you don't see one often, here's a South Asian child Goth
http://www.flickr.com/photos/sicliff/5138998903/in/pool-536840@N24
TRIVIA
Humans living at sea level will start to feel altitude sickness from about 1,500m above sea level. However, strong healthy people will eventually physically adapt to the conditions up to 5,950m. Higher than this and health permanently suffers up to 8,000m. Above 8,000m is known to mountaineers as the "Death Zone" - there is insufficient oxygen to sustain life and prolonged stays at this altitude without tanked oxygen will result in death. However, highly acclimatized people can survive around 12 hours in these conditions, allowing experienced mountaineers to climb Mount Everest (8,848m) without tanked oxygen.
Because climbers don't have the strength at that altitude to carry more than themselves, climbers in distress and the corpses of climbers who die in the death zone are simply abandoned, and are then preserved by the freezing conditions. By 2010, 216 people were known to have died climbing Everest and around 150 corpses litter the Death Zone.
