Closing 1944 with General Kenney

Pacific Paratrooper

Gen. George C. Kenney

Being as the 5th Air Force, especially the 5th Troop Carrier Group, were operating so close to the 11th Airborne for so much of the war, I chose to finish up 1944 with the first-hand account from their commander….

 

General Kenney, Commander of the Fifth Air Force reported:

Sky Lancers

“Just before dark on 26 December, a Navy Reconnaissance plane sighted a Jap naval force of 1 heavy cruiser, 1 light cruiser and 6 destroyers about 85 miles NW of Mindoro {Philippines], headed toward San Jose.  We had available on out 2 strips there, 12 B-25s from the 71s Recon Squadron, the 58th Fighter Group (P-47s), the 8th Fighter Group (P-38s and the 110 Tactical Recon Squadron (P-40s).

“Every airplane that could fly took off on the attack, which continued until after midnight.  The Japs kept on coming and the planes kept shuttling back and…

Rilassamento consapevole

Guide pratiche per meditare

Siate nei confronti dei vostri pensieri quello che è un uccello in volo per la superficie ribollente di un mare burrascoso


Lo scopo principale della meditazione è quello di aiutarci ad essere più consapevoli e a sviluppare una maggiore presenza mentale in tutto quello che facciamo. Come abbiamo visto più volte, per fare questo occorre praticare con costanza, allenando la nostra mente a focalizzarsi, durante le sessioni, su particolari oggetti, interni o esterni. Facendo ciò, la mente si abitua a prestare attenzione ad ogni cosa con cui viene a contatto e impara a non abusare del pilota automatico nelle esperienze di tutti i giorni.

Tuttavia, avere sempre a che fare con un oggetto di meditazione può essere paradossalmente controproducente. Infatti, se quando meditiamo abituiamo la nostra mente a dirigere l’attenzione sempre e solo un qualcosa di più o meno concreto, rischiamo che essa non sia poi in grado…

Ospreyshire's Realm

The video proper starts at 1:00

Just when I think some people in America couldn’t get any more idiotic with their bigotry, I stand corrected. So this right-wing group called the Moms of Liberty wants to ban Martin Luther King Jr. from the history books because it allegedly “traumatizes” white children. This is so stupid as well as heinous. These Karens as well as their token Asian and Indian crash test dummies want to stop talking about Civil Rights let alone the other parts of American history that expose how racist America was and still is.

Wow, for a group trying to be about America, they sure are using Nazi tactics of book-burning, don’t you think? People just can’t handle the uncomfortable truths about the rampant racism in this country. The concept of CRT has been such a hot debate over the past year. The arguments against it (the fact…

Recycling, what will happen to this glass jar? — Paul Noël — Barbara Crane Navarro

An item I posted in May 2020 and we’re still smashing glass for recycling rather than reversing the process of delivery from factory to household. How hard can it be? So here is a container that billions of us have access to. In this case it had palm oil free peanut butter in it. They […] […]
