In 1980 two painted bronze chariots were discovered 20 meters west of Qin Shi Huang's tomb (The Terracota Worrior's site). Consisting of 3000 parts, each of the chariots is driven by an imperial charioteer and drawn by 4 hourses. According to Han Dynasty scholar Cai Yong (132-192), the first chariot was for clearing the road for the Emperor's entourage, and the second was his sleeping chariot. The bridles and saddles of the horses are inlaid with gold and sliver designs and the body of the number 2 chariot has sliding windows hollow cut. Both horses and chariots are half-life size.

There was very little light (no flash was to be used) and the chariots were encosed in a glass case.

Worry after the Tsunami by Sam Sherratt

Matthew 6:25-43: Do Not Worry by born19june

15 32

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]?

28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

By Drew Middleton By Cable to The New York Times

Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force, Wednesday, June

7--The German Atlantic Wall has been breached.Thousands of American,

Canadian and British soldiers, under cover of the greatest air and sea

bombardment of history, have broken through the "impregnable" perimeter

of Germany's "European fortress" in the first phase of the invasion and

liberation of the Continent. Communiqu & eacute; 2, issued at the

Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force, before last midnight,

reported that all initial landings, which had earlier been located on

the coast of Normandy, in northern France, had "succeeded." The Germans

told of heavy fighting with Allied air-bone troops in Caen, road and

railroad junction eight and one-half miles inland from the Seine Bay

coast, and the enemy said there was heavy fighting at several points in

a crescent-shaped front reaching from St. Vaast-la-Hougue, on the west,

to Havre, on the east. [The German Transocean News Agency said early

Wednesday that the Allies had made "further landings at the mouth of

the Orne under cover of naval artillery," according to The Associated

Press. The agency said "heavy fighting" was raging. [A British

broadcast, recorded by Blue Network monitors, said Wednesday that

"another air-borne landing south of Cherbourg has been reported."

Another British broadcast said that Allied bulldozers were busy

"carving out the first RAF airfield on the coast of France."] At last

midnight, just over twenty-four hours after the beginning of the

operation, these were the salient points in the military situation:

1. Despite underwater obstacles and beach defenses, which in some areas

extended for more than 1,000 yards inland, the Atlantic Wall has been

breached by Allied infantry.

2. The largest air-borne force ever launched by the Allies has been

successfully dropped behind the Atlantic Wall and has attacked by

second echelon of German defenses vigorously. The Germans estimate this

force at not less than four divisions, two American and two British, of

paratroops and air-borne infantry. 3. Most of the German coastal

batteries in the invasion area have been silenced by 10,000 tons of

bombs and by shelling from 640 naval ships. The shelling was so intense

that H M S Tanatside, a British destroyer, had exhausted all her

ammunition by 8 o' clock yesterday morning.4. Against 7,500 sorties

flown from Monday midnight to 8 A.M., Tuesday, by the Allied Air Forces

during the first day of the invasion the Luftwaffe has flown fifty, and

the main weight of the enemy air force in the west, estimated at 1,750

aircraft, has not entered the battle. 5. The first enemy naval assault

on the Allied invasion armada was beaten off with the loss of one enemy

trawler and severe damage to another. There is reasonable optimism at

this headquarters now, but there is no effort to disguise concern over

several factors, among them weather and the shape of the first major

German counter-blow. Navies 100 Per Cent Effective - Admiral Sir

Bertram Ramsay, Allied naval commander in chief, declared the Allied

navies had "in effect" been 100 per cent successful in the task of

landing the invasion troops in France. These troops have now become the

most important of the fighting services involved in the invasion, for

there are indications that the enemy to some extent is withholding

reserve formations for a general counterattack once he is certain

yesterday's landings constitute the main threat in northwestern Europe.

The heaviest fighting in a 100-mile battle area appeared to revolve

around Caen, according to the German News Agency, DNB. The enemy also

admitted the establishment of an Allied bridgehead on both sides of the

Orne estuary, and another in the area northwest of Bayeux, and the

Germans said an Allied paratroop formation had a firm grip on both

sides of the Cherbourg-Valognes road. A group of light Allied tanks and

armored scout cars was placed northeast of Bayeux by the enemy. [Bayeux

is about six miles inland from the southwest shore of the Seine Bay.]

Earlier Allied tanks had been reported fighting in the area of

Arromanches on the south coast of the Seine Bay. This group was

attempting to join the main beachhead forces northwest of Bayeux, the

enemy said. A German military spokesman reported fifteen cruisers and

fifty to sixty destroyers were operating west of Havre last night

covering a large number of Allied landing craft. The two naval task

forces that led the invasion were commanded by Rear Admiral Sir Philip

Vian, who won fame while commanding the destroyer Cossack early in the

war, and Rear Admiral Alan Goodrich Kirk of the United States Navy. The

two naval forces plus a third force, which came from the north,

included one fifteen-inch gun battleship, the British Warspite; an

American battleship, the Nevada, a veteran of Pearl Harbor; the

American cruisers Augusta and Tuscaloosa and the British cruisers

Mauritius, Belfast, Black Prince and Orion, and shoals of destroyers

flying the Stars and Stripes and the White Ensign. Steaming through the

English Channel, swept by 200 British minesweepers, the men o' war

escorted thousands of landing craft, transports and assault craft

bearing Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's landing forces to the beaches.

Shortly before the first soldiers "hit the beach" three German torpedo

boats and an undisclosed number of armed trawlers attacked. They were

driven off with withering fire. One trawler was sunk and another

severely damaged. Then the destroyers turned their guns on enemy

defenses, while the ships engaged enemy batteries already battered by

high explosives dropped from the air. The large air-borne forces that

were dropped and landed in the night were already assembling behind the

Atlantic Wall as the first troops scrambled up the beaches. Dawn was

the climax of the first phase of the invasion. Wave after wave of

American bombers- -at least 31,000 Allied airmen were in the air

between Monday midnight and breakfast Tuesday--took up the task of

flattening the German defenses and silencing guns. Fighters circled

over the beachheads on defensive patrol, while fighter-bombers darted

inland to attack German troops moving up to attack the air-borne and

sea-borne invaders.

So feeble was the German Air Force opposition that one fighter force

swept seventy-five miles inland without meeting opposition. In one of

the few clashes 300 Marauders ran into twenty Focke-Wulfe 190s,

destroying a single enemy plane without loss. A great fleet of more

than 1,000 planes, including gliders and towplanes, went almost

unmolested when it carried the air-borne force to its objectives, while

some Flying Fortress groups reported neither fighter interference nor

flak fire. All day the weather forced medium and light bombers to

attack at low level, 300 Marauders bombing from 3,000 feet during

yesterday afternoon. Havocs on a similar attack jumped and halted a

column of eight German armored cars. Road junctions and railway yards

behind enemy lines were bombed repeatedly. Allied Integration of Arms 

Yesterday's operations, the greatest yet undertaken by the Western

powers, were marked by a complete integration of all striking arms.

Tens of thousands of bombs and shells tore at the German defenses as

air force and Navy gave maximum support to the infantrymen struggling

ashore or the airborne forces attacking the "Atlantic Wall" from the

rear.

The Bomber command of the Royal Air Force, the first Allied force to

strike at the heart of Germany in this war, had the honor of opening

the assault. At 11:30 o'clock Monday night the first of ten waves of

Lancasters and Halifaxes swept in from the sea to begin bombardment of

the German batteries along the French coast. There were more than a

hundred bombers in this and subsequent waves, and the total number of

"heavies" involved was more than 1,300. Since on such a trip each of

these heavies can carry at least five tons of bombs, the batteries were

hit by around 7,000 tons of bombs before the sun rose to reveal the

great invasion fleet gently rolling on the choppy waters of the English

Channel.

The batteries attacked were of two types, with two different functions.

There were long- range rifles--mostly 155 mm. and 177 mm. weapons--to

engage shipping far out at sea. Equally important to the success of the

landing were batteries of heavy howitzers sited on beaches or on areas

just off the beaches where landing craft might congregate. Both types

of batteries were strongly protected, with most of the 155's in

casemates of reinforced concrete. The howitzers were in sandbagged

emplacements or newly constructed casemates.

The preliminary air attacks appear to have been successful, for reports

from the front stressed the failure of German batteries to maintain

determined fire. Many of the casemates were blown apart, while some of

the howitzers were knocked over by the blasts and their gunpits were

smothered with dirt torn up by the bombs. This destruction was well

under way by dawn yesterday, when more than 1,000 Flying Fortresses and

Liberators of the United States Eighth Air Force roared out from

Britain to maintain the bombing. At the same time far out at sea

gunfire flickered along the decks of battleships, monitors, cruisers

and destroyers as they engaged not only gun batteries but strongpoints

and blockhouses along the Normandy beaches. By this time troop carriers

and gliders of the United States Ninth Army Air Force and the RAF had

flown paratroops and air-borne infantry to their objectives and the

two-sided battle of the so-called Atlantic Wall had begun on the ground

as well as in the air and at sea. All day the big guns roared from the

sea to shore and from the shore to sea. All day Liberators, Fortresses,

Marauders, Mitchells, Typhoons, Havocs and Thunderbolts of the Allied

Air Forces bombed the German coastal defenses and troop concentrations

sheltered in the lush orchards of Normandy. All day Allied fighters

patrolled the battle area and spread an air umbrella above the invasion

fleet. Air Chief Trafford Leigh-Mallory, General Eisenhower's deputy

commander for air, was so proud of the work done by the Allied air

forces that yesterday morning while the battle was still developing he

congratulated his forces on the "magnificent work* * *done in

preparation for the invasion." As this order was flashed to the

far-flung squadrons of the RAF and USAAF the battle on the ground,

where it will eventually be fought and won, was beginning with the

first air- borne landings. According to enemy radio reports, these were

made "in great depth" in the area of the Seine Bay. British airborne

units were dropped in the Havre area, while Americans floated to earth

in the Normandy district. The enemy has already identified the First

and Sixtieth British Air-Borne Divisions and the Eighty-second and the

101st American Air-Borne Divisions, according to Axis broadcasts.

Air-borne troops landed at Barfleur, east of Cherbourg; Carentan, five

miles from the Seine Bay on the Cherbourg peninsula, and northeast of

Caen between the estuaries of the Seine and Orne, the Germans said. Air

and naval losses for the first day were considered remarkably low at

this headquarters, although it was emphasized the enemy had not

attacked strongly in either element. One American battleship, risking

unswept mines and shore torpedo tubes, moved in to short range in order

to silence a troublesome battery that was holding up operations with

its fire. The Allied seaborne landings began to develop along the coast

of Normandy at the same time. The Germans placed the first attacks

between the mouths of the Seine and the Vire, a stretch of coast about

seventy-five miles long, beginning in the east at Trouville and

Deauville, once filled with holiday crowds from all over Europe, and

reaching to the Bay of Isigny in the west. The stretch of coast is the

nearest to Paris and is connected with the capital by good rail and

highway communications.  American tanks poured ashore in the area of

Arromanches, a small fishing village about fifteen miles northwest of

Caen, and Asnelles, in the middle of the Seine Bay south coast, the

Germans said, adding that thirty-five tanks had been destroyed in the

fighting around Asnelles. What the Germans described as "particularly

extensive landings" also were made at the small coastal village of St.

Vaast-la-Hougue, close to the tip of the Cherbourg peninsula. The enemy

also claimed the Allies had landed on Guernsey and Jersey in the

Channel islands, the last bit of British Empire held by Germany. As the

infantry scrambled over the beach obstacles from the sea, air-borne

invaders were fighting a hot battle in the district of Caen, according

to the enemy reports. Caen lies on the main railroad line running from

Cherbourg to Rouen, Evereux and Paris and is a junction of nine

highways. Other large air-borne concentrations were around Havre and

Cherbourg, and the enemy claimed they had been made in order to seize

those ports for the invasion fleet.

The enemy claimed a battleship had been badly damaged and a cruiser and

large transport sunk during a duel between shore batteries and the

Allied naval escort. The enemy put the escort at six battleships and

twenty destroyers, with well over 2,000 landing craft, some of them of

3,000 tons, participating in the landings along the Seine Bay. Enemy

Claims Hits

[President Roosevelt said at his Tuesday press conference that General

Eisenhower had reported the loss of two American destroyers and one

LST, a tank-carrying landing ship.]

Sea-borne landings overcame intricate and elaborate German

obstructions, mainly because General Eisenhower took a chance and

landed his forces at low tide when naval engineers' parties could deal

with underwater obstacles. These included mines moored below the

low-water line, beach mines and hundreds of obstacles. The latter

included a section of braced fences, concrete pyramids, and wood and

steel "hedgehogs." All these obstacles were extensively mined, either

with Teller mines or specially prepared artillery projectiles. But

before the invasion armada could reach these defenses some 200 Allied

minesweepers manned by 10,000 officers and men had to sweep a passage

through extensive minefields with which the enemy had masked the

approaches to the beaches. It was officially called the biggest and

probably the most difficult, certainly the most concentrated,

minesweeping operation ever carried out. The most delicate and

dangerous work was done at night in a cross-tide of two knots. When

dawn came the landing craft moved slowly toward the beaches through the

swept channels, and the minesweepers were sweeping new areas.

It was through this sort of sea defenses that the invasion ships had to

make their way before they grated on continental beaches. Ashore the

engineers and infantry found a variety of new obstacles. The entire

beaches were guarded by bolts of wire. The exits from the beaches were

blocked by an adaption of existing seawalls to become anti-tank walls,

and steel obstacles were set up. Anti-tank ditches fifty to sixty feet

wide were extensively employed and minefields had been laid up to a

depth of more than 1,000 yards from shore, while inundations were

employed wherever the ground was suitable. Allied Reinforcements Pour

In

Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force, Wednesday, June 7

(AP)--Allied troops swiftly cleared Normandy beaches of the dazed Nazi

survivors of a punishing sea and air bombardment, and armor-backed

landing parties ranged inland today in a liberation invasion.

Reinforcements streamed across the white-capped Channel. Some reports

reached here that Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's men had cut at Caen

the Paris-Cherbourg railway, a main route supplying Hitler's defense

forces in the Cherbourg peninsula. Prime Minister Churchill first

disclosed that Allied troops were fighting in Caen, on the River Orne.

He said the invasion was proceeding "in a thoroughly satisfactory

manner," and with unexpectedly light casualties. The German High

Command asserted that no Allied troops had penetrated Caen.

Returning RAF pilots said:"We could easily tell the beaches were

secure--we could see our soldiers standing up."Caen was the only point

specifically named here as a scene of fighting, although penetrations

as deep as thirteen miles were reported. Nazi-controlled radios,

however, reported Allied landings at a dozen points, with the most

important on both sides of the estuary of the River Orne.From west to

east along the 100-mile shoreline, Axis accounts said Allied sea-borne

and air-borne forces struck at:The port of Barfleur, fifteen miles east

of Cherbourg; the fishing village of St. Vaast-la- Hougue, five miles

south of Barfleur; both sides of the Valognes-Carentan highway, a

section of an important supply road to Cherbourg running five miles

inland from the peninsular coast; the twenty-seven-mile-long area

between Carentan and Bayeux; the River Orne estuary; a fifteen-mile

stretch of beaches in the Villers-Trouville region across the Seine

estuary from Havre; and the town of Honfleur, on the Seine six miles

southeast of Havre. The German-controlled Vichy radio also said that a

vicious fight developed last night north of Rouen, on the Seine,

forty-one miles east of Havre, "between powerful Allied paratroop

formations and German anti-invasion forces."

This morning I found some blood on the floor. I checked all dogs for all the common injuries (mainly paws), but couldn't find anything. The morning walk went fine, nothing special.

This afternoon I wanted to take them for another walk at the beach. Suddenly I noticed that Pepsi was bleeding heavily from her nose. Beach became an emergency visit to the vet.

She cleaned up the inside of her nose, and stopped the bleeding. Apart from a visible cut inside her nose, she also noticed an obstruction. That could just be the result of an infection, so Pepsi will be on antibiotics for a week.

If antibiotics won't help, a biopsy will be performed next week. Let's hope for the best.

Day 59 of 365

I had taken several fun photos today and earlier tonight I was at my computer getting ready to download them when I looked through my window and noticed the cardinals in my yard were getting very agitated. I then noticed the cats quietly stalking something in the grass. I went outside to see what it was, and to my surprise was this beautiful (well...beauty is in the eye of the beholder!) little baby bird. My first thought was that it had fallen out of its nest, but then I realized it was attempting to fly and taking its first few "steps". I ran in, grabbed my camera and managed to take a few shots of this little one before it took off.

After another hectic and stressful week at work, this made me think of the verse, Matthew 6:25-27 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"

What a miracle life is....and what a great reminder that we don't need to worry, just enjoy living!
