I managed to sneak in a visit to Hardwick Hall before it was forced to close for the November lockdown. Wednesday 4th November 2020. It’s one of the grandest and most important Elizabethan country houses and it’s actually changed very little since that period.
Hardwick Hall was built between 1590 and 1597 (while the adjacent Hardwick Old Hall was still being constructed!) for Bess of Hardwick, and was designed by the architect Robert Smythson. Bess was born in 1527 and through a series of well-made marriages, she rose to the highest levels of English nobility and became enormously wealthy. She was a shrewd business woman, increasing her assets with business interests including mines and glass-making workshops. Already owning Chatsworth House, Bess of Hardwick was the richest woman in England after Queen Elizabeth I and she wanted a grander house to reflect that (it contains one of the largest long galleries in any English house - pictures of that to follow!). The house was very modern for its time and contained a lot of glass windows in a period when glass was seen as something of a luxury.
After Bess's death in 1608, the house passed to her son William Cavendish, 1st Earl of Devonshire, and subsequent Dukes preferred Chatsworth over Hardwick. As a secondary home, Hardwick escaped the attention of modernisers and thankfully received few alterations after its completion. In 1950, the unexpected death of the 10th Duke of Devonshire, with the subsequent death duties (rated at 80%), caused the sale of many of the Devonshire assets and estates. Hardwick was handed over to HM Treasury in lieu of Estate Duty in 1956 and the estate was transferred to the National Trust in 1959.
In recent years Hardwick Hall was used to film the exterior scenes and interior scenes of Malfoy Manor in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!

I managed to sneak in a visit to Hardwick Hall before it was forced to close for the November lockdown. Wednesday 4th November 2020. Visitors to Hardwick Hall can’t fail to miss the ruined Old Hall which stands opposite the entrance to the “new” Hall. Some people think that the old hall must be a lot older than the new hall, but actually they were built at almost the same time!
Hardwick Old Hall was built 1587-1596 by Bess of Hardwick, who was among the richest and best-connected women of the Elizabethan age. After the collapse of her fourth marriage to George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, Bess fled from Chatsworth in 1584 to her family estate at Hardwick where she started work on the [old] Hall which was on the site of the small manor house where she was born.
In 1590 her husband died and Bess recovered control of all her lands and acquired a very sizeable widow’s jointer. Before Hardwick Old Hall was even complete, Bess immediately started to build another larger, much grander house immediately beside this (the "New Hall") this time using architect Robert Smythson. The two halls were intended to complement each other, like two wings of one building.
Bess died in 1608, later Dukes of Devonshire eventually came to prefer Chatsworth over Hardwick, and partially dismantled the Old Hall in the 1750s, and it gradually became ruinous. The whole estate was transferred to the National Trust in 1959 and although the Old Hall (which is actually operated by English Heritage) is open to the elements, many of the original plaster overmantels are still in place. However, the Old Hall has been closed this year for essential conservation work. It is possible to look around the outside though, and the Hardwick estate is remaining open during the current pandemic restrictions, check the National Trust amd English Heritage websites for details.
Managing Forced Displacement in Africa
How Collective Efforts Can More Effectively Address the Surge of Refugees and Displaced Persons
Africa hosts more than one-third of the world’s refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs)—many of whom are fleeing ongoing conflicts in Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, and the Central African Republic. This growing phenomenon impacts not only those fleeing conflict, but also the host communities and countries who now face complex logistical and humanitarian challenges. A comprehensive response to this problem must seek to address root causes, thereby preventing further displacement, and also find durable solutions for the many millions already displaced.
Human migration is a natural, constant process and contributes to the development of cultures and economies. But when displacement is forced—whether by violent conflict, poor governance, or environmental factors such as natural disasters or drought—the displaced often find themselves traumatized and vulnerable to physical and economic insecurity. And for those who live in refugee camps and host communities, the conditions are as diverse as the issues that drive displacement. That’s why, in acknowledgement of both the challenges of displacement and the leadership roles played by African countries that host refugees, the African Union has named 2019 the year of refugees, IDPs and returnees.
The U.S. Institute of Peace, the African Diplomatic Corps, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars hosted a discussion on forced displacement in Africa. The panel conversation highlighted African policy responses to displacement at the national, regional, and continental level, discuss current and anticipated challenges, and brainstorm innovative approaches.

Anche il tempo, come tutto, ha una fine. Siamo circondati da scadenze e scomparse. L'arte, come la moda è un succedersi di figurazioni, forme ed idee. E neanch'essa scampa alla morte.
Che cosa ne sarebbe della storia se non ci fosse la morte ed il finito?
I "grandi" durano per sempre, hanno centrato l'obiettivo di rendersi portabandiera di un periodo di tempo, di uno stile; hanno dato forma alle idee. Cosa sono però in confronto al resto? Le loro idee, seppure impressionate su di una tela, fanno parte del vecchio e con malinconia non fanno che guardarci, dal regno dei morti.
L'infinito non esiste, esiste solo lo spegnersi di luci, uomini ed idee.
There will be and end for everything, also for the time. We are sourrounded by deadlines. Art, like fashion, is a succession of shapes and ideas. But it doesn't lasts forever either.
What will be of the story in everything would be infinite?
The "biggest artists" are forever, they managed to create something that will last till the end of time. They are symbols of an age, of a style; they gave a shape to their ideas. But they cannot be divided from the idea of the death.
Infinite cannot exist, there will only be expiring lights, men and death.
managed a quick shot of this fella today..Been struggling to get a half decent small bird shot, quite happy with this attempt..

I normally edit all my images at work and print them out on works printers, however, I have started doing a lot of editing on my laptop but was noticing the colours were a bit off. So this evening when it was quiet I colour calibrated my laptop with the spyder and I notice a huge difference already. Need to edit loads of pics now and see what they print like.

Managed to score a New Avengers Scarlet Witch for a pretty good price recently. She's used and has some joint looseness, but the outfit itself is still in pristine condition.
This is my first Hot Toys Wanda, and I have to say that overall she's a much better time of having her figures actually look right as compared to Black Widow. The face is of course not perfect and has that lack of facial contouring older head had, but at least it looks like her. Rooting/styling isn't terrible either, despite not being the fancy new hair.
Tailoring has generally been a strong suit for Hot Toys, and it is evident even on an older figure like this one. I have to say though, while pose is generally awkward (as with pretty much all Hot Toys figures), the actual amount of give on the outfit is not bad, and you can actually do some decent casual poses. The lack of ankle articulation makes battle posing or any poses where the feet aren't perfectly flat on the ground a bit of a chore.
Paint Applications are strong, as expected. No issues with any paint work, even the smaller paint apps such as on the fingers and ears are nicely done. Build Quality, play wear issues aside, appear to be good, with nicely moulded effects parts made of soft plastic.
