Clandon Park House is an early 18th-century grade I listed Palladian mansion in West Clandon, near Guildford in Surrey.[2]
It stands in the south east corner of Clandon Park, a 220-hectare (540-acre) agricultural parkland estate which has been the seat of the Earls of Onslow for over two centuries. The house and gardens were gifted to the National Trust in 1956,[3] but the rest of the park remains in private ownership.[4] Some of the house's contents have also been acquired by the Trust in lieu of estate duty.[5]
Construction of the house, designed by Italian architect Giacomo Leoni, began about 1730, and the interiors were finished by continental sculptors and plasterers in the 1740s. It replaced an Elizabethan house. The park was landscaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in 1781, and there are two formal gardens on either side of the house. Nearby is a Māori meeting house, one of only three outside New Zealand, that was brought to England in the late 19th century. After being transferred to the National Trust, the house underwent restoration before it was opened to the public, and later became a wedding venue and filming location for period dramas.
The house was badly damaged by fire in April 2015, probably caused by an electrical fault in the basement, leaving it "essentially a shell". Thousands of historic artefacts, paintings, and items of furniture were lost in what has been described as a national tragedy. In January 2016, the National Trust announced that some of the principal rooms on the ground floor would be fully restored to the original 18th-century designs, and upper floors will be used for exhibitions and events.
History[edit]
The estate and Elizabethan house, together with Temple Court Farm at Merrow, was purchased in 1641 from Sir Richard Weston of nearby Sutton Place,[6] by Sir Richard Onslow, MP for Surrey in the Long Parliament and great-grandfather of Thomas Onslow, 2nd Baron Onslow, who rebuilt it. Many members of the Onslow family followed political careers; three of them, including Arthur Onslow, were Speakers of the House of Commons. Their portraits would later hang in the Speaker's Parlour at Clandon House.[7]

The house was built, or perhaps thoroughly rebuilt, in about 1730–33 (the latter date is on rainwater heads) by Thomas Onslow, 2nd Baron Onslow to the design of the Venetian architect Giacomo Leoni. It is a rectangular building of red brick and stone dressings. Clandon House interiors, completed in the 1740s, featured a two-storey Marble Hall, containing marble chimney pieces by the Flemish sculptor Michael Rysbrack, and a rococo plasterwork ceiling by Italian-Swiss artists Giuseppe Artari and Bagutti.[8]
Clandon Park was landscaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in 1776–81, replacing a French garden and transforming part of a disused canal into an ornamental lake.[9] A porte-cochère was added to the principal facade in 1876. A sunken Dutch garden was created by Frances, Countess of Onslow at the north front of the house in the late 19th century. In 1895, the house was investigated for paranormal activity by the Marquess of Bute and Ada Goodrich Freer on behalf of the Society for Psychical Research. During World War I, the Onslow family created and managed a hospital in Clandon House for the war injured.

This young Red-shouldered hawk was very hungry. I got within 10 feet of him before he flew off. Based on the photos, I noticed two things. 1: The electric fence is off. 2: It appears his left leg is injured.

Stanislav Yudin seeks inspiration in ethnic and folk music, Asnate Rancāne – in improvisation. The duet “Stanislav Yudin & Asnate Rancane” emerged out of the idea to unite different musical experiences. The consonance emerges by uniting improvisations and compositions by Stanislav and Asnate’s deep knowledge about ethnic music and folklore. The repertoir of the duet includes both compositions with traditional texts and arranged folk melodies.
Stanislav Yudin is best known as base-player in Jazz and improvisations, who frequently participates in projects of experimental music. He also has own compositions, free improvisation and is convinced that he can draw inspiration from his homeland.
Asnate Rancāne is ethnomusicologist, researcher of ethnic music, multi-instrumentalist and leader of the folk singing group “Tautumeitas” . She has been involved in traditional music since childhood and now seeks inspiration in improvisation, where she uses her knowledge and experience gained from working with folklore heritage.
The project has been created during experiments using innovative techniques and improvisation, both musicians have found their special sound and style, which also resulted in the recording of album – “Op. 2”. It includes folk songs performed in various dialects and languages, however, this album cannot be considered only as a folk music record because of extraordinary arrangement and performance, it tends to belong to the minimalist world of music.

Hornitos (Spanish for "Little ovens") is a census-designated place in Mariposa County, California, United States.[2] It is located on Burns Creek 25 mile by road south of Coulterville, at an elevation of 843 feet. The population was 38 at the 2020 census, down from 75 at the 2010 census.
History
The Hornitas post office opened in 1856 and changed its name to Hornitos in 1877. The name, meaning "little ovens" in Spanish, was derived from the community's old Mexican tombstones that were built in the shape of little square bake ovens. Hornitos is registered as California Historical Landmark #333.
Domingo Ghirardelli had a general store here between 1856 and 1859, where he perfected his chocolate recipes. The remains of the store can still be seen in town.

This is part 2, it has a gigantic showcase of Egyptian and Sumerian work, Americas, Renaissance and Europe, Indian and Asian and East Asian Exhibit. This is probably one of the few places you can see the historical database of Iraq and Syria original artifacts. We were arguing if its right to have such important works of history at display in an American museum rather than their home countries, but had these artifacts been in Syria and Iraq, especially post the war they would have been damaged beyond repair or lost forever. They are very respectful and accurate. Have a huge database of levant history from the origins.

It seems the amaryllis must be dripping some nectar as I noticed these ants on the shelf under it this afternoon. I thought it was interesting how they circle around the droplets so more of them can get at the drop. Whatever it is, these ants were having a great day eating it up!
