The Reconquista Madonna and Child Turn Counter (28mm Resin Model)
Era: The Spanish Reconquista 0722 AD - 1492 AD
Details: 1 Turn Counter
Turn counter based on different figures of the Madonna and Child of the 11th century.
History: The Reconquista (Spanish and Portuguese for "reconquest") was a period in the history of the Iberian Peninsula of about 780 years between the Umayyad conquest of Hispania in 711, the expansion of the Christian kingdoms throughout Hispania, and the fall of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada in 1492.
The beginning of the Reconquista is traditionally marked with the Battle of Covadonga (718 or 722), the first known victory in Hispania by Christian military forces since the 711 military invasion undertaken by combined Arab-Berber forces. In that battle, a group led by Hispano-Roman nobleman Pelagius and consisting of Hispano-Visigoth refugees, the remnants of their Hispano-Gothic aristocracy, and mountain tribes, including mainly Astures, Galicians, Cantabri, and Basques, defeated a Muslim army in the mountains of northern Hispania and established the independent Christian Kingdom of Asturias. In the late 10th century, the Umayyad vizier Almanzor waged military campaigns for 30 years to subjugate the northern Christian kingdoms. His armies ravaged the north, even sacking the great Santiago de Compostela Cathedral.
When the government of Córdoba disintegrated in the early 11th century, a series of petty successor states known as taifas emerged.

The BL 6 inch gun Mk V [note 1] was an early Elswick Ordnance Company breech-loading naval gun originally designed to use the old gunpowder propellants. They were used for coast defence around the British Empire.
This was an Elswick Ordnance export design, completely different from and longer (30-calibres, 183.5 inch bore) than the contemporary 26-calibres British naval service 6-inch Mk III, IV and VI guns designed by the Royal Gun Factory, although it fired the same 100-pound projectiles. The gun was of a complex all-steel built-up construction, of a steel A-tube surrounded by multiple steel hoops, breech-piece and jacket.
Several were acquired by the British government for coast defence in the UK and were given the designation 6-inch gun Mark V. The breech fittings and firing mechanism were modified in British service to standardize them with the British service guns, Mark IV and VI. The breech-screw was locked by turning to the left, unlike standard service guns made by the Royal Gun Factory, which all locked to the right. Rifling consisted of 28 grooves of the polygroove "Elswick section" type, increasing from 0 to 1 turn in 30 calibres (i.e. 1 turn in 180 inches) at the muzzle.
They were also exported for use as coast-defence guns in Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australian colonies and Siam (Thailand), typically as disappearing guns.

Camera arrived today! I could have hugged the delivery man. Finally (well as soon as I have a memory card) I can't start taking actual pictures rather than just static photos of my ugly mug. See camera: www.flickr.com/photos/helksy/3538511188/in/photostream/
Today I went to have coffee with Oli before lunch, he gave me a wonderful delayed birthday present: yummy chocolates, paperchase notebook with birds embroidered on the cover and the sigur ros album "med sud ieyrum vid spilum endalust". Sigur ros are my heaven. Their music makes me feel like I'm jumping for joy and falling down at the same time. I dont think of them when someone asks what my favourite band is, they mean so much more to me they are seperate from all the rest in my mind. I adore them and if you haven't listened to any of their stuff before you must:
1. turn off all the lights.
2. put a track of theirs, preferably "Sæglópur" on your mp3 player.
3. lie somewhere comfy where you wont be disturbed.
4. press play.
Hopefully you'll remember the next 7 minutes of your life forever.

Prisoners O’ War. Up to eight POWs per team, with hands bound behind their back. No grabbing
hold of the rope with your hands!
Dubai Properties Group 'DPG', a member of Dubai Holding, has once again partnered with Dubai Electricity and Water Authorities 'DEWA' for the second year running to raise awareness on the importance of electricity and water conservation at its Shorooq Mirdif community.
As part of the initiative, a specially designed DEWA 'Green Zone' bus travelled through a selection of communities in Dubai, including DPG's Shorooq community, to educate residents on energy saving in the UAE.
During the road show, DEWA's society-outreach and engagement field team invited Shorooq residents of all ages on board the bus to attend an educational presentation which included energy conservation tips for families to easily apply in their homes, for example:
1.Turn off lights that are not needed.
2.Replace incandescent light bulbs with new, energy-efficient compact fluorescent lights.
3.Clean light bulbs regularly, since dirt diffuses light, decreasing illumination.
4.Take a quick shower rather than a bath and save an average of 20 gallons '76 liters' of water.
5.Turn off the water when brushing your teeth or shaving and save more than 5 gallons '19 liters' per day.
The partnership is part of DPG's corporate responsibility 'CR' platform, 'Responsible Living', launched in 2011. As part of this programme, DPG facilitates events and joint initiatives with authorities and non-profit organisations to promote different aspects of living responsibly in and around the community.

The Palazzo Vecchio is one of the main buildings in Florence that people flock to see.
It is a crenellated palace which means it has battlements as part of its design.
It has a 94m tower and was built between 1299-1314 by Arnolfo di Cambio.
Initially, it was used a a seat of government and would be used later by senior republicans in high office.
Dante would have seen this building unlike the Duomo which was built later.
Cosmo 1 turned it into his ducal residence in 1540 creating a beautiful interior. The exterior remains unchanged.
The palace took on its name- Old Palace when the ducal court moved out to the Palazzo Pitti.
