La frase con la que el entonces infante Fernando, que pasaría a ser posteriormente Fernando de Aragón, se comprometió a asediar y cosquistar el castillo de Antequera, cruce de caminos y pieza fundamental para la reconquista de Andalucía.

Medina Sidonia es un municipio español situado en el centro de la provincia de Cádiz, comunidad autónoma de Andalucía. Pertenece a la comarca de La Janda, de la que es su capital. La localidad ha sido declarada Conjunto Histórico-Artístico.
La montaña sobre la que se ubica se llama el Cerro del Castillo, la cual constituye la mayor elevación de todo el tercio occidental de la provincia, desde las últimas estribaciones de la Sierra de Cádiz hasta la línea costera atlántica, lo que le permite ser divisada desde una parte importante de la provincia, ofreciendo, a la vez, la extraordinaria panorámica de la superficie provincial. La ciudad se orienta hacia la Bahía de Cádiz, motivo por el cual se la conoce como el Balcón de la Bahía.
Una pequeña parte del término municipal asidonense pertenece al parque natural de Los Alcornocales, una de las áreas más preciadas en cuanto a riqueza natural y paisajística se refiere de toda Andalucía. El término acoge además gran parte del recorrido del Corredor verde de las dos Bahías, que es una vía verde que une la Bahía de Cádiz y la Bahía de Algeciras.
La economía asidonense ha estado formada durante un largo período por la agricultura y la ganadería. Aunque esta rama aún perdura en menor grado, la mayoría de los jornaleros han abandonado el trabajo en el campo y se han pasado a la construcción, sector que hoy prolifera por todas las zonas turísticas. Desde finales del siglo XX, Medina Sidonia empieza a vivir fundamentalmente del turismo y de su industria de dulces, de la que exporta a toda la provincia.
El Casco Histórico de la ciudad fue declarado Bien de Interés Cultural el 13 de noviembre de 2001,
En 2018 recibió la distinción de "pueblo con más encanto de Andalucía".
The dignity of man is inviolable.
It is the duty of all state authorities to respect and protect them.
Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar.
Sie zu achten und zu schützen ist Verpflichtung aller staatlichen Gewalt.
The morning light streaked through the trees to light up this brand new Beebalm blossom. I just planted it this year. Loved the pink tinge in the leaves.
Un piano con vistas al mar.
Vivía frente al puerto deportivo y unas palmeras muy elegantes
dignificaban el impresionante edificio.
Se accedía al vestíbulo desde el portal entre mosaicos que
revestían suelos y paredes, con alegorías de graciosas ninfas
en un bello bosque encantado.
Era evidente que la casa era de cierto postín.
Me salió al encuentro un recepcionista uniformado con una aparatosa chaqueta repleta de botones dorados, que más
bien parecía un soldado salido de alguna guerra prusiana.
Miraba con atención mis movimientos y mi indumentaria,
evidentemente …..sin ninguna satisfacción.
-¿Qué desea el señor?
-Me espera doña Encarna.
-Puede pasar.
Si quiere puede subir por la escalera y admirar su bella factura en caoba maciza. Y por supuesto, las lámparas de cristal de Bohemia que cuelgan del techo. Impresionantes.
Tómese su tiempo, no verá nada parecido.
-Casi mejor subo en el ascensor, con este calor no está uno para muchos trotes.
Y el ascensor estaba completamente acorde con el edificio.
Espléndida marquetería y espejos con marcos de latón.
No tuve ni que tocar el timbre, la puerta se abrió sola como por
arte de magia…..y doña Encarna en persona con un leve gesto,me invitó a pasar al interior.
También doña Encarna encajaba a la perfección en el sofisticado entorno.
Y en el salón un hermoso piano de cola STEINWAY & SONG, me estaba esperando.
-¿Así que es usted técnico afinador de pianos?
-Si doña Encarna, de toda la vida.
-Una pregunta ¿Hay que saber tocar el piano para ser afinador?
-El saberlo tocar es un plus, pero no es fundamental, ni siquiera necesario.
-¿Y cuanto se tarda en afinar un piano?
-Depende, si el piano se afina cada seis meses, y que nunca transcurra más de un año, no se tendría que tardar más de dos horas, quizás con hora y media sea suficiente.
-¿Se quedará a merendar?
-Me encantaría pero tengo muchísimo trabajo, quizás la próxima vez.
-Bueno, pues le dejo con el piano, si necesita alguna cosa solo tiene que tirar de la campanilla que está a su izquierda, y alguien vendrá
de inmediato.
-Si quiere se puede quedar conmigo doña Encarna, y mientras trabajo me puede contar cosas de esta casa y de este piano, seguro que
hay muchas historias entre estas paredes.
Y con cierta satisfacción, doña Encarna se sentó en el sofá y empezó a desgranar como había adquirido la casa su abuelo a principios del siglo XX.
Dos horas después, finalizaba mi trabajo y tenía la cabeza
completamente loca.
Antes de marchar, le pedí amablemente un vaso de agua y dos aspirinas.
-¿Quizás le he aburrido con mis historias?
-Todo lo contrario doña Encarna, me ha proporcionado usted dos horas maravillosas
-No deje de visitarme cuando venga por la ciudad.
-Le prometo doña Encarna, que dentro de seis meses tendrá noticias mías.
Y ahora una canción de YIRUMA “ River flows in you “.

“The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the FUNDAMENTAL emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He who know it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out can”
- Albert Einstein
This is a reaction to yesterday's fiasco of a 365 shot - massive thanks to everyone who left encouraging comments but I haven't changed my mind about it - it still sucks.
You guys really made me feel better though so hats off to ya.
I've got a new plan now. What I'd like to get out of the next one hundred days is a solid grounding in the fundamentals. The art of taking a good photograph. This has become more and more important to me over the last week or so and hopefully it's been reflected in my 365, with less reliance placed on Photoshop and more shots taken on location so to speak. If I can call my back garden a location ha ha!
With this in mind I had a flick through a book my dad found at my grandparent's house. It's quite old (first published 1977 - older then me!) and of course it's all about film cameras but the fundamentals of photography aren't going to change so I figured I can get the theory from this book and translate it to the digital age.
I read up about depth of field this morning - I love a bit of bokeh so I thought it'd be a good place to start.
I think I understand it a bit better now and I wanted to put into practise what I'd learnt so . . . I spent a bit of time in the back garden this morning trying it out.
I've decided, after yesterday's disappointment at getting some nice shots at Nothe Fort ruined by me lazily auto-focusing, to use manual focus as much as possible. This way I'll get what I want in focus instead of what the camera decides. It took me exactly fourty-four shots to get this one - I had one other serious contender but the detail was clearer in this one.
I put it through Lightroom to boost the greens - basically I whacked all the sliders pertaining to the colour green up to 100.
I know that the bokeh in this shot isn't really bokeh, but the maximum I could stop the aperture down to was about 5.3ish and the background wasn't that far behind me. I got the focus right - took about half an hour though! I'd like to get at least one shot with some as-serious-as-I-can-get-for-the-aperture bokeh this week . . . just have to wait and see if I make it any further than the back yard.
I'm not going to deprive myself of Photoshop totally but for the time being I'm going to try and put some photo theory into practise.
Uh, and the reason I was wearing a beanie in the bright, warm sunshine was because I'd only just finished watching Match of the Day and hadn't had time to get ready. I had bedhead OK?! That might also explain why I look so damn rough - taking photos early in the morning is not good for the looks ha ha!
I'll finish talking about this shot by saying I'm really pleased how it's come out. I might even do a depth of field mini-series this week . . . if nothing else it'll be good practise. Real edgy stuff eh?
Yeah, right . . . ummm . . . what did I do today? Well, it didn't start off too well, I had to suffer watching Man Utd lose 2-1 to Liverpool on Match of the Day, much to Joe's delight. By all accounts we were complete arse and deserved to lose - and this is against Liverpool with two of their big players missing. Gutted.
Then I compouded my misery by tripping the electricity while making toast! It wasn't till about half an hour ago me and Lydia realised we hadn't turned the freezer back on so everything in it was slowly melting and/or going rotten. Bugger.
We had a band rehearsal this afternoon. Things didn't go too well to start with, none of us had learnt all the songs and we had to work really hard to get anything done. The songs we ran through today were:
Monkeywrench - Foo Fighters
Slide Away - Oasis
Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day (this one's for the punters, none of us are that into it)
Bodysnatchers - Radiohead
Enter Sandman - Metallica
It's fair to say that Bodysnatchers was a total bust - it sounds quite simple but when you break it down it's so bloody complicated! And it treads a very fine line between sounding great and sounding shite. We sounded like the latter. The trouble with it is that the guitar sound (actually the three different guitar parts and their sounds) has to be just right to make it work or it ends up sounding like a dirge. We've put that one on the backburner for a while.
Slide Away should've been easy, it's Oasis for god's sake, but I'd forgotten everything bar the main solo so it was a bit of a struggle. It was sounding better the last time we played it though so it might make it into the next set. Just needs tightening up.
Monkeywrench sounded pretty good straight off, again a bit more tightening up is all that's needed and I think that'll make it into the set for the next gig.
Wake Me Up . . . sounded pretty damn good from the outset. I had to learn it on the spot because I hadn't run through it before so when we figured out where the guitars drop in and out that actually sounded good.
Enter Sandman . . . we've played this one before at a gig but it was only because a load of people were shouting at us to play it after Wayne started jamming the riff. We made it up to the solo before it went tits-up but that made us think it'd be a good one to learn - people went mental for it!
We spent a good hour on it learning it in chunks, working out the stops and starts and putting the bits and pieces together, but still couldn't make it through the whole song in one go. It wasn't until the last run-through that we nailed it and even Lydia said it sounded really good. And she can't stand Metallica. I think we'll be playing it at out next gig (October 4th) and I'm really looking forward to it - we'll be playing a song by one of my favourite bands!
So after a tricky start we came away with four songs that should be gig ready after our next practise, which isn't bad. The most pleasing thing for me was that while it wasn't going well for a long time we all stayed cool, supported each other and there was no childish arguments, which a couple of months ago would've been par for the course. And because we all stayed cool we got something out of it, whereas before we'd have parted on bad terms and there would've been a barrage of accusing emails the next day. So three cheers for the new, all growed up Konar-T.

Landers and rovers on Mars gather data that help scientists answer fundamental questions about the geology, atmosphere, surface environment, history of water and potential for life on the Red Planet.
To get these insights to Earth, they first transmit the data up to spacecraft in orbit around Mars. These orbiters then use their much larger, more powerful transmitters to ‘relay’ the data across space to Earth.
“Normally, an orbiter like ESA’s Mars Express first sends down a hail signal to a rover as a ‘hello’,” says James Godfrey, Mars Express Spacecraft Operations Manager.
“The rover then sends back a response to establish stable communications and begin the two-way exchange of information. But this relies on the rover’s radio system being compatible with the orbiter’s.”
As Mars Express transmits its ‘hello’ signal using communication frequencies that are different from those the Chinese Zhurong Mars rover receives, two-way communication is not possible.
But in the other direction, Zhurong can transmit a signal using a frequency that Mars Express can receive.
The relay radio on Mars Express has a mode that allows this one-way communication – communication ‘in the blind’ where the sender can’t be sure if their signal is being received – but until now, the technique hadn’t been tested on the spacecraft.
In November, ESA’s Mars Express and CNSA’s Zhurong teams carried out a series of experimental communication tests in which Mars Express used this ‘in the blind’ mode to listen for signals sent to it by the Zhurong Rover.
The experiments culminated in a successful test on 20 November.
“Mars Express successfully received the signals sent by the rover, and our colleagues in the Zhurong team confirmed that all the data arrived on Earth in very good quality.” says ESA’s Gerhard Billig.
“We’re looking forward to carrying out more tests in future to continue to experiment and further improve this method of communicating between space missions.”
The data relayed by Mars Express arrived on Earth at ESA’s ESOC space operations centre in Darmstadt, Germany, via deep-space communication antennas. From there, these data were forwarded to the Zhurong team at the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center, who confirmed the success of the test.

A Special Conversation with Cometan on Astronism is available to listen to now – www.youtube.com/watch?v=zigxnpKAeaI
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Cometan's crucial lecture on the fundamentals of Astronism and the Astronic tradition was forced to take place virtually.
Earlier in November, at the age of just 22, Cometan was invited by Dr. Harith Ramli to discuss his emerging Astronist philosophy and religion as a 21st century movement with partly prehistoric origins in the Astronic religious tradition. Cometan gladly accepted this invitation and the lecture took place on the morning of 2nd December 2020.
It was a great success for Cometan as he had the opportunity to explain and explore his beliefs of Astronism with an engaged audience of university-level students from Edge Hill University, Ormskirk. For anyone interested in what is meant by the phrase "space religion", this lecture is a must listen for you.
Also, the Astronist Institution has just classified this image above as the forty-first Notable Image of Cometan which places this image an elite category of photographs of Cometan that capture an important point in his life's journey. You can learn more about this designation here – astronism.wikia.org/wiki/The_Space_Religion_Lecture
This sculpture touched me when I viewed it in Tate Britain. The forms of a family taken down to their fundamentals, a mother and father holding their child. Seemingly they are all grieving or in some deep sadness and yet they are holding one another, supporting each through the vulnerable, rawness of human experience.
