Managed a last minute visit to Dinokeng. Had only my camera no lenses, so missed some opportunities to get up close. But these are some of my snaps.
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!
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.

We (Dan and I) managed to do two jobs today, I had bought a new filter for the pond, I started off with one, then ran two together and after several years they had come to the end of their useful lives, the fish are getting so big now that the filter system needed to be upgraded, this should be good, Lee came over to see to the electrics, (he got his plieers blown up because Den hadn't switched the electrics off properly, he was not well pleased, the air was a little blue for a while) after the job was done the plants went back and the filter cant be seen

Me and Kevin, who managed the Cheapo Records store on Lake Street near Uptown in Minneapolis. I used to call him Linus because, swear to God, he looked like Linus, and he called me Lucy because I was bitching all the time. A regular customer (it could have been Dan, Cody's dad) thrifted these sweatshirts for us.
1991, Minneapolis. I look so young.

I managed to tick off all seven top priority items from my to-do list. That doesn't happen very often! So I'm having a well deserved beer.
Oh, I just remembered, that's one more thing off my list:

The Africa Center’s Managing Security Resources in Africa (MSRA) seminar held in Washington, DC is providing a capacity building opportunity for practitioners and policy-makers responsible for resource management in Africa’s security sector by reinforcing many of the important lessons learned during the last decade.
Finally managed to leave our quiet haven of Kata to brave busy Patong. Spectacular views on the tuk-tuk ride along the windy shore into town!
I managed to turn one of the blooms on my Endless Summer #3 light purple! Very pretty!! This plant was a baby grown in potting soil and its first blooms were pink. This last round, I watered it with aluminum sulfate and I've been rewarded with this pretty purple bloom.
The foundation of female osteopathy is the idea that the human body has the capacity to heal itself naturally and is furnished with all the instruments required for this. The body is able to maintain its own health and restore itself. Body structure and function are tightly related, and when one is off, the other might impact the other.

I managed to take a handful of photographs at the Little Red Farm in Uxbridge MA by the Blackstone River Canal during lastnight's sunset.
This is the first shot I managed to get processed - more soon :)
Don't forget to 'like' Phogropathy on Facebook!
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.

This sweet dog managed to skip out from the half-open shutters, but it wasn't able to get back inside. He was out there, trapped in the hot sun, and its owners weren't reachable by phone. The neighbors called the firemen, and it took them over 30 minutes to arrive, but when they did, the dog was so scared of all the people and commotion, that he jumped right back in without any help.
