The oldest aristocratic families in Siena date their line to the Lombards' surrender in 774 to Charlemagne. At this point, Frankish overseers married into the existing Sienese nobility. Feudal power waned, however, and by the death of Countess Matilda in 1115 the border territory of the March of Tuscany which had been under the control of her family, the Canossa, broke up into several autonomous regions. This ultimately resulted in the creation of the Republic of Siena.
The Republic existed for over four hundred years, from the 12th century until 1555. In contrast to Florence, Siena was on the Ghibelline side in the dispute between the emperor and the papacy and thus received various privileges. Essentially, however, behind this conflict was an economic rivalry between the two trading cities. The Florentines were defeated at the Battle of Montaperti in 1260. During the golden age of Siena before the Black Death in 1348, the city was home to 50,000 people.
Unlike the Medici, who ruled in Florence, no family was able to establish a stable dynasty. In the War of 1551–59, the republic was defeated by Florence in alliance with the Spanish crown. In 1512 the city found itself under the protection of Charles V. The citizens rebelled against the tyranny of the Spaniards, but In 1555 Siena was taken after a long siege and two years later given as a fief to Cosimo I de Medici, under whom it became part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
The church was built by the Dominicans from 1226 onwards, , shortly after Saint Domingo de Guzmán had visited the city. The nave was built between 1246 and around 1300. The stones used for the transept come from the city tower of the Counts d'Elci, which collapsed in 1338. The church is also known as "Basilica Cateriniana". This refers to Catherine of Siena, a Dominican saint. After Catherine's death in Rome in 1380 her head was brought to Siena in 1383. It is now in San Domenico.
In the 14th century, the church was enlarged. In 1430 the church building was included in the city wall ring of Siena. The campanile was built from 1490 to 1517. In 1531 fires affected the church. The fire of December 4, 1531, spared the relics of St. Catherine.
The occupation of the church by the Spanish militia 1548-1552 led to damage, as they expanded the church into a fortress and set up camp there. In 1798, an earthquake caused extensive damage to the church. Because of this, the campanile had to be shortened.

Here the Dutch surrendered to General Zheng Chenggong after a one-year siege of Fort Zeelandia. The 300 survivors were allowed to carry everything of value back to Jakarta, including their slaves. Zheng Chenggong, better known in the west by his title Koxinga (國姓爺) is an interesting character: a capable if headstrong leader who was given to bouts of tactical brilliance as well as madness. He is well remembered in Mainland China, Taiwan and Japan for differing reasons: the PRC emphasized the fact that he drove away foreigners from Chinese territory in the name of the country, the Japanese (when they controlled Taiwan) emphasized his half-Japanese ancestry and his linkage to the "motherland", and Taiwan emphasized the fact that he took the island in the hopes of retaking the Mainland from the invaders, as the ROC had hoped to do.

The Japanese surrender flag at the end of the war. The Japanese character is apparently the army unit that was surrendering.
SURRENDER
"I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.
So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything,
but only God, who makes things grow. " 1 Corinthians 3:6-7
We can put a lot of pressure on ourselves to produce "successful" kids, and there is no question that parenting requires a lot of hard work. But, what exactly is our role in the process? In this passage, Paul explains the role of a teacher. We believe it applies just as well to a family.
Parents are God's representatives in the family, and that role is crucially important. In the end, however, we have to surrender the results to God because He is the One "who causes the growth." He will grow our children into His design. While it is difficult to let go of our design and surrender our kids to God, it is God's will that they grow less and less dependent on us and more dependent on Him.
You cannot force your child to grow up to be a godly person, but you can be a godly parent. Use your children's experiences, your example and gentle exploration to "plant and water" your kids, and surrender the results to God. God Bless

25' tall sculpture by Seward Johnson recreating the iconic photo entitled"Unconditional Surrender" by Alfred Eisenstaedt.
It is very unusual for us Texans to have "snow" days. We have, however, had 3 "ice" days so far this week. My cat has been very happy. And thanks fo "Elsie" whose photograph gave me the inspiration for this illustration.

These beautiful prints by Nikki McClure are on our bedroom wall, right next to the bed. I look at them every day, to remind me. And when Little Bean is born, we will look at them even more.
No Escape- Diffrent edit
I don't wanna go to sleep.
Why should I when there's a world full of things to do?
No, I wanna stay up forever.
I wanna dance, I wanna sing, I wanna be free.
And if you wont do that with me, then I wanna lay here and think of you.
Or travel the world and think of you.
Or kiss your lips while I think of you

Filter/ blur more /add noise.
Enhance photo/remove colour.
Anyway these battle re enactments are great fun and well worth going to if youre a photographer.
You need at least a 200mm lens for these battles to focus into them.

Commander, Naval Forces, Europe Photograph received May 26, 1945. U.S. Navy photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives. (2016/04/26).

The Photograph
A view of San Diego's Unconditional Surrender statue, more commonly known as the Kissing statue.
This 25 foot tall statue gives 3-D form and colour to the famous photograph of a sailor kissing a nurse in chaotic Times Square as they celebrated the victory of the United States over Japan at the end of WW2.
Controversy has raged since 1945 as to whether the kiss was spontaneous and genuine, or staged for the camera.
On the right of the photograph is the prow of USS Midway, an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy. She was the largest ship in the world until 1955.
The USS Midway saw action in the Vietnam War, and served as the Persian Gulf flagship in Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
She is now a museum ship, and is permanently moored in San Diego.

September 1, 1939 -- May 7, 1945. What an ordeal. What a money maker.From my journal: Tues 15 Oct 2002: "On Monday we got up early-- had already purchased train tickets-- from Gare de l'Est to Epernay -> Reims. Then backtrack. [This is wrong. We went from Paris to Rheims, then Epernay, then back to Paris.] Stopped and got off at Reims. Went to see the museum in which Germans surrendered on 5 May 1945 [it was actually 7 May]. Eisenhowerama. Wandered down main drag to BAC [="Big Ass Church" ]. Windy, pleasant. Asked a man where the post office was, got a pleasant response, and understood it actually. JN sampled a sort of hotdog near the train station. A longi-sliced spicy wiener in bread. Horseradish mustard. R [Richard] declined food, should have gotten something. Then on to Epernay--"
But then it would have made finally going to sleep a lot more trouble. Except why are you in my room?
Sightseeing the hidden spots in the mountain hills of Nagasaki in pouring rain was a special experience i will long remember.
