 | D-Day - The Battle of Normandy - Part 2 of 4 The objective of the operation was to create a lodgement that would be anchored in the city of Caen (and later Cherbourg when its deep-water port would be captured). As long as Normandy could be secured, the Western European campaign and the downfall of Nazi Germany could begin. About 6,900 vessels would be involved in the invasion, under the command of Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay (who had been directly involved in the North African and Italian landings), including 4,100 landing craft. A total of 12,000 aircraft under Air Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory were to support the landings, including 1,000 transports to fly in the parachute troops; 10,000 tons of bombs would be dropped against the German defenses, and 14,000 attack sorties would be flown. Some of the more unusual Allied preparations included armoured vehicles specially adapted for the assault. Developed under the leadership of Maj. Gen. Percy Hobart (Montgomery's brother-in-law, and an armoured warfare specialist), these vehicles (nicknamed Hobart's Funnies) included "swimming" Duplex Drive Sherman tanks, the Churchill Crocodile flame throwing tank, mine-clearing tanks, bridge-laying tanks and road-laying tanks and the Armoured Vehicle, Royal Engineers (AVRE)--equipped with a large-caliber mortar for destroying concrete emplacements. Some prior testing of these vehicles had been undertaken at Kirkham Priory in Yorkshire, England. The majority would be operated by small teams from the British 79th Armoured Division attached to the various formations. I copied this information from wikipedia |
 | The Importance of Bremore The Drogheda Port Company along with Fingal Co. Council are finalising a proposal to develop a new deepwater port at Bremore, in North County Dublin, close to the Meath border. However, Bremore Headland is the location of a 6,000 year old unexcavated passage tomb, and the adjoining hundreds of acres are highly important neolithic remains. Other important passage tombs lie close by. The planned Port facility will be positioned directly on top of the Bremore Tomb, and there are no indications that there are any plans for preservation. Plans are already being drawn up for the port. References and further details on the Bremore Port Project and its archaeological implications can be found on the following links: http://www.irishmegaliths.org.uk/dublin.htm http://www.mythicalireland.com/ancientsites/fourknocks/index.html http://www.irishmegaliths.org.uk/dublin.htm http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=18219&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 http://www.mythicalireland.com/ancientsites/fourknocks/index.html http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=18219&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 http://www.fingal-independent.ie/frontpage/ancient-site-may-delay-bremore-port-1246564.html http://buckplanning.blogspot.com/search?q=Bremore http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/2007/1108/breaking38.htm http://www.droghedaport.ie/cms/publish/article_231.shtml http://www.droghedaport.ie/cms/publish/port_generalinfo.shtml http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/2007/1108/breaking38.htm http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/536967 |
 | Camino a El Maviri Contiene un fragmento de 'Yo nunca vi televisión' por Tommy Rey. Los Mochis is a coastal city in northern Sinaloa, Mexico, located at 25° N, 109° W. It serves as the municipal seat of the municipality of Ahome. As of the 2000 census, the population was approximately 400,000. Los Mochis is the western terminus of the Chihuahua-Pacific Railroad, which passes through the scenic Copper Canyon. This railway was originally conceived by Albert K. Owen and approved by President Porfirio Díaz as a trade route linking the cattle markets in Kansas City with the nearest port on the Pacific Ocean, Topolobampo. Today the Pacifico Norte irrigation region (Sinaloa-Sonora) in which the "El Fuerte valley" is the largest district and in which Los Mochis lies is the principal agricultural area of Mexico, containing over 70% of all irrigated land and producing sugar cane, cotton, rice, flowers, and many types of vegetables. The valley is one of the largest producers of mangoes in Mexico. Many of the mangoes are exported to the United States as either fresh or canned fruit. Nearby Topolobampo is the second largest natural deepwater port in the world, known for its commercial fishing and increasingly important role in shipping. In 2001 construction began on a four-lane highway which will eventually connect the port with the state of Texas in the USA. A popular activity among youth in Los Mochis is the "Leyvazo", wherein people park their cars or cruise along Leyva Boulevard in downtown Los Mochis. People also gather for a drink or barbeque under "Los Álamos" which are poplar trees that line the highway to Topolobampo Bay. As well as these activities, many residents of the city enjoy to visit the nearby beach of El Maviri. Many people visit this semi-desert island to spend a day at the beach or enjoy the seafood delicacies. |
