'I'm hoping that we get along.
It's time for innovation,
It's time for us to make a change.
It's time for a Chinese new year,
It's time for me to make a way.'

Belton House is a Grade I listed country house in Belton near Grantham, Lincolnshire, England. The mansion is surrounded by formal gardens and a series of avenues leading to follies within a larger wooded park. Belton has been described as a compilation of all that is finest of Carolean architecture, the only truly vernacular style of architecture that England had produced since the Tudor period. The house has also been described as the most complete example of a typical English country house; the claim has even been made that Belton's principal facade was the inspiration for the modern British motorway signs which give directions to stately homes. Only Brympton d'Evercy has been similarly lauded as the perfect English country house. For three hundred years, Belton House was the seat of the Brownlow and Cust family, who had first acquired land in the area in the late 16th century. Between 1685 and 1688 Sir John Brownlow and his wife had the present mansion built. Despite great wealth they chose to build a modest country house rather than a grand contemporary Baroque palace. The contemporary, if provincial, Carolean style was the selected choice of design. However, the new house was fitted with the latest innovations such as sash windows for the principal rooms, and more importantly completely separate areas for the staff. As the Brownlows rose from baronets to barons upward to earls and then once again became barons, successive generations made changes to the interior of the house which reflected their changing social position and tastes, yet the fabric and design of the house changed little. Following World War I (a period when the Machine Gun Corps was based in the park), the Brownlows, like many of their peers, were faced with mounting financial problems. In 1984 they gave the house away—complete with most of its contents. The recipients of their gift, the National Trust, today fully open Belton to the public. It is in a good state of repair and visited by many thousands of tourists each year The Brownlow family, a dynasty of lawyers, began accumulating land in the Belton area from approximately 1598. In 1609 they acquired the reversion of the manor of Belton itself from the Pakenham family, who finally sold the manor house to Sir John Brownlow I in 1619. The old house was situated near the church in the garden of the present house and remained largely unoccupied, since the family preferred their other houses elsewhere. John Brownlow had married an heiress but was childless. He became attached to two of his more distant blood relations: a great-nephew, also called John Brownlow, and a great-niece, Alice Sherard. The two cousins married each other in 1676 when both were aged 16; three years later, the couple inherited the Brownlow estates from their great-uncle together with an income of £9,000 per annum (about £ 1.17 million in present day terms) and £20,000 in cash (equivalent to about £ 2.59 million now). They immediately bought a town house in the newly fashionable Southampton Square in Bloomsbury, and decided to build a new country house at Belton. Work on the new house began in 1685. The architect thought to have been responsible for the initial design is William Winde, although the house has also been attributed to Sir Christopher Wren, while others believe the design to be so similar to Roger Pratt's Clarendon House, London, that it could have been the work of any talented draughtsman. The assumption popular today, that Winde was the architect, is based on the stylistic similarity between Belton and Coombe Abbey, which was remodelled by Winde between 1682 and 1685. Further evidence is a letter dated 1690, in which Winde recommends a plasterer who worked at Belton to another of his patrons. Whoever the architect, Belton follows closely the design of Clarendon House, completed in 1667. This great London town house (demolished circa 1683) has been one of the most admired buildings of its era due to "its elegant symmetry and confident and common-sensical design". Sir John Summerson described Clarendon House as "the most influential house of its time among those who aimed at the grand manner" and Belton as "much the finest surviving example of its class". John and Alice Brownlow assembled one of the finest teams of craftsmen available at the time to work on the project. This dream team was headed by the master mason William Stanton who oversaw the project. His second in command, John Thompson, had worked with Sir Christopher Wren on several of the latter's London churches, while the chief joiner John Sturges had worked at Chatsworth under William Talman. The wrought-ironworker John Warren worked under Stanton at Denham Place, Buckinghamshire, and the fine wrought iron gates and overthrow at Belton may be his. Thus so competent were the builders of Belton that Winde may have done little more than provide the original plans and drawings, leaving the interpretation to the on-site craftsmen. This theory is further demonstrated by the external appearance of the adjoining stable block. More provincial, and less masterful in proportion, it is known to have been entirely the work of Stanton.

Jockey Club Innovation Tower is a building of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It was designed by Pritzker-prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innovation_Tower)
The Jockey Club Innovation Tower is home to Hong Kong Polytechnic University 's School of Design and is the new driving force in the development of Hong Kong as a design hub in Asia… It has 15,000 square metres of net floor area and can accommodate about 1,800 staff and students… “The fluid character of the Innovation Tower is generated through an intrinsic composition of its landscape, floor plates and louvers that dissolves the classic typology of the tower and the podium into an iconic seamless piece. These fluid internal and external courtyards create new public spaces of an intimate scale which complement the large open exhibition forums and outdoor recreational facilities to promote a diversity of civic spaces.” - Zaha Hadid, Architect, Innovation Tower (www.sd.polyu.edu.hk/en/j.c.-innovation-tower/the-architec...)
An entrepreneur has come up with these boxes to prevent porch pirates... This one block in Bed Stuy had four of them (three in this picture). Not nearly as ubiquitous as the "Red Claw" steering wheel locks of the 1990s, but definitely a presence. And in an age where people make more use of online shopping and maybe even getting medicine through the post, it makes sense.

Nancy (54)
Nancy is the prefecture of the northeastern French department of Meurthe-et-Moselle. It was the capital of the Duchy of Lorraine which was annexed by France under King Louis XV in 1766 and replaced by a province with Nancy maintained as capital. Following its rise to prominence in the Age of Enlightenment, it was nicknamed the "capital of Eastern France" in the late 19th century. The metropolitan area of Nancy had a population of 511,257 inhabitants at the 2018 census, making it the 16th-largest functional urban area in France and Lorraine's largest. The population of the city of Nancy proper is 104,885.
The motto of the city is Non inultus premor, Latin for '"I am not injured unavenged"'—a reference to the thistle, which is a symbol of Lorraine. Place Stanislas, a large square built between 1752 and 1756 by architect Emmanuel Héré under the direction of Stanislaus I of Poland to link the medieval old town of Nancy and the new city built under Charles III, Duke of Lorraine in the 17th century, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the first square in France to be given this distinction. The city also has many buildings listed as historical monuments and is one of the European centres of Art Nouveau thanks to the École de Nancy. Nancy is also a large university city; with the Centre Hospitalier Régional Universitaire de Brabois, the conurbation is home to one of the main health centres in Europe, renowned for its innovations in surgical robotics.

Who would have thought that when I got that spectrum nearly 30 odd years ago we would be in the place we are now with iPads/Phones etc. What is going to happen in the next 30 or will innovation slow down... I hope not.

Platform 6 at Purley station has recently gained three posters celebrating people who had local connections to Purley and Croydon. The posters are titled 'Welcome to Purley, Croydon', 'Innovate' and 'Inspire' and celebrate Amy Johnson, Samuel Coleride-Taylor and William Jessop.
The artworks were commissioned by Purley Business Improvement District and were made by local artists Kevin Zuchowski-Morrison, Dan Cimmermann and Morgan Davy.
Amy Johnson achieved worldwide recognition when, on 5th May 1930, she became the first woman to fly solo from the now closed Croydon Airport to Australia. Flying G-AAAH Jason, she landed at Darwin, Northern Territory on 24 May.
The composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was brought up in Croydon. He studied at the Royal College of Music. After completing his degree, Taylor became a professional musician, soon being appointed a professor at the Crystal Palace School of Music; and conducting the orchestra at the Croydon Conservatoire.
In 1801 Civil Engineer William Jessop was appointed Chief Engineer of the horse drawn Surrey Iron Railway from Wandsworth to Croydon. In 1803 the next phase of tramway was authorised south from Croydon towards Merstham and Godstone. Jessop was again appointed Chief Engineer. The line reached Mestham but was never continued to Godstone.

Established in 1929, the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation was created by Henry Ford as The Edison Institute, a private educational institution, before opening to the public in 1933, initially being owned and operated by the Ford Motor Company. The museum contains exhibits and artifacts that were collected by Henry Ford starting in 1906, when his wealth began to increase substantially due to the success of the Ford Motor Company, with the institutions continuing to collect artifacts and items to this day. The museum is housed in a large structure, designed by Robert O. Derrick, that is quite similar in structure to a warehouse or factory built during the time of construction. Covering approximately 500,000 square feet (50,000 square meters), the building contains a variety of exhibits, mostly focusing on machinery, furnishings, automobiles, and other industrial goods, as well as historic artifacts that represent culturally significant moments in the history of the United States. The museum today is a major tourist attraction within the Detroit Region, and is one of three significant attractions affiliated with the Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, alongside Greenfield Village and the Ford Rouge Complex, all of which are open to tourists and visitors. The museum was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1981.
The Dymaxion House was designed by Buckminster Fuller between 1930 and 1945 as a prefabricated house, meant to incorporate modern conveniences and flexibility, while lowering the cost, and increasing efficiency and quality of the construction of homes, as well as addressing housing shortages during and after World War II. The house at the Henry Ford Museum was created from combining parts from the two Dymaxion House prototypes that were built in 1945, which were purchased by William Graham, an investor, and constructed as his family home in 1948. The building was the home of the Graham family until the 1970s, and was located alongside a lake, with various innovative features being removed from the house when it was built at the site. The house was donated to the Henry Ford Museum by the Graham family in 1990, and was reconstructed, rebuilt, and restored to Fuller’s original design upon its move to the Henry Ford Museum, with it finally opening as an exhibit within the museum in 2001.
