This photographic portfolio entitled “ANCESTRAL LANDSCAPES” is the result of an incredible journey in Scotland through breathtaking natural landscapes. Scotland landscape is a permanent theater, a mysterious drama in which the initial plot seems to come from ancient feuds or the echo of legends. Contrasting like its climate, Scotland offers a range of light and shadow carried by the impetuousness of the elements. Weather reports are more like predicting the future than science. As frustrating as it may sound, it forces you to make your day unexpected. The turbulence of time exacerbates the green of the hills, the darkness of the mountains and the density of the ocean. The caledonian bad weather offers atmospheres that seem to come out of the most fantastic tales and legends. In this interplay of shades and contrasts, Scotland is a perpetual painting that offers aesthetes the violence of its brushstrokes. Consistently tackling the elements in Scotland grabs you literally and figuratively. The wind blows across the plains, the rain draws a curtain over the landscape and the proud mountains impress. Scotland is home to some of the most stunning landscapes I have ever seen. Shaped by landslides and tectonic movements that have completely sculpted their surroundings, these landscapes instantly immerse you in an almost supernatural fantasy world. One does not expect to discover such an exciting landscape. Vastness constantly echoes within us through our eyes.

Page from a brochure entitled The Centenary Year of Timothy Taylor & Co. Ltd. (1858-1958). The 24-page brochure contains a history of the Keighley-based brewery and an account of brewing itself, accompanied by line drawings. It was used as a promotional item. This page includes an account of the Prince of Wales hotel in Shipley, one-time home to boxer Fred Shaw.
Timothy Taylor & Co. Ltd. (maltsters and brewers) was founded by Timothy Taylor in December 1858. It originally operated from a brewery in Cook Lane, Keighley, before moving to Knowle Spring in 1863 where larger premises could be constructed. Timothy Taylor was born in Bingley in 1826. He was originally in the tailoring trade, with a shop on Low Street, Keighley. He married Charlotte Aked and his two sons (Robert Henry and Percy) continued the brewing business after Timothy's death in January 1898. Within a year of starting, the company had two licensed houses - the Volunteer Arms in Lawkholme Lane and the New Inn at Bocking. A well was sunk at Knowle Spring in 1894 that continues to provide the water for the brewing to this day. Timothy Taylor's became a limited company in 1929. The firm's championship-winning ale Landlord was created in 1952. Further sons and nephews continued to run the business. Timothy's grandson John Taylor, later Conservative peer Lord Ingrow, was the last direct descendant to run the company. He was replaced in 1995 by Charles Dent, who married John Taylor’s daughter Annie. Tim Dewey took over as chief executive in October 2014.

Entitled "After the Firefight," this memorial honors the more than 206,000 men and women of the state who served in Vietnam. The monument depicts two soldiers carrying a wounded comrade to a nearby landing zone to await medical help. This monument is unique in that it is the first to be sculpted by a woman, and the first to depict an African American.
This statue, entitled Spriti of the American Doughboy, was designed by sculptor E. M. Viquesney. It was originally located in front of the Flathead County Courthouse in Kalispell, but was relocated to the Montana Veterans Home in Columbia Falls in 1972. For more information, refer to this website: doughboysearcher.weebly.com/columbia-falls-montana.html
This is a contributing object to the Soldiers' Home Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
Columbia Falls is located to the northeast of Kalispell west of Glacier National Park in Flathead County. It is home to the Montana Veterans Home.

New Deal wooden relief entitled "The Cherry Picker" created by Marion Overby and installed in the post office in 1941. The artist was paid $1400 for the artwork. There were originally 3 pieces but the 3rd is now lost. These reliefs were removed from the PO in the late 1960s during renovations and were given to a local Traverse City citizen by the Postmaster as payment for shoveling snow!!! That citizen later gave the artwork to a local dentist to cover a $600 bill. These pictures were taken in 2006 by Cheryl Chidester, who was working on a master's thesis on the New Deal. As of 2013, the pieces were being actively proposed for sale on Antiques Roadshow. I received the pictures and info from the USPS Federal Preservation officer. There is an effort to reclaim the pieces.
As of March 3, 2024, the pieces have been given to "someone" in the southern part of the state for "display" though the previous "owner" does not remember who or where but knows it was sometime before 2016.

NOTICE
All these pictures are taken shortly before the earthquake in April 2015!
Bungamati suffered considerable damage to the 7.8R earthquake that hit on April 25th 2015 and the aftershocks that followed. 80% of the villagers lost their homes to the quake. Many depend on subsistence agriculture. Rebuilding homes for them is going to be a near to impossible task.
I decided to upload all my pictures of Bungamati and Khokana as a documentary of this peaceful villages.
_______________________________
Bungamati, Newar Bunga, lies in Karyabinayak Municipality in Lalitpur District, Nepal. Bungamati is a Newar village on a spur of land overlooking the Bagmati River
The first stele of the Licchavi king Amshuverma was found in Bungamati and dated to 605. It contains the earliest mention of the Kailashkut Bhawan palace. The stele further shows that Bungamati had already been a famous village for agriculture, livestock and fishing.
NAMES
During the Licchavi Kingdom, the town was called Bugayumi. During the Malla period, it was called Bungapattan.
TEMPLE
Bungamati is the hometown of the deity Machhindranath, regarded as the patron of the valley and his large shikhara-style temple in the center of the village square is his home for six months of the year; he spends the rest of his time in Patan. The process of moving him back and forth between Patan and Bungamati is one of the most important annual festivals in the valley.
The chowrangi around the temple is one of the most beautiful in the valley - here one can see the heart of a functioning Newar town. The Karya Binayak Temple, one of the most important temples in Nepal, is dedicated to Ganesha. The view is spectacular from the temple, which is surrounded by trees and large bamboo and overlooks the Bagmati valley to the foothills.
MACHHINDRANATH TEMPLE
The central ritual focus of Bungamati is the Temple of Machhindranath. To the villagers, Machhindranath is known by the name “Bungadeya”; the name is derived either after the village founded at the spot where Bhairav howled “bu” (birthplace), or from the word “Bungaa:” meaning “watering place” or “spring” like the explanation of the name of the village and several residents in Bungamati offer the second derivation. Bungadeya has many important mythological, historical and contemporary ritual associations with water. Bungadeya being a primordial rain god, who was later identified with the benevolent Aryavalokiteshvara. Machhindranath is also known by the name of “Karunamaya” meaning an embodiment of love and kindness like a mother figure. While Bungamati Newa people refer to Machhindranath as Bungadeya, Newas from other parts of the valley use the name Karunamaya to refer to Machhindranath. The god of Bungamati and Patan is also identified as Raktapadmapani Lokeshvara and Aryavalokiteshvara.
The another important part of historical importance in Bungamati is the living goddess, Kumari. Generally people only know three Kumaris (in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur), but there is also one in Bungamati.
NEPAL EARTHQUAKE IN APRIL 2015
After the April 2015 Nepal earthquake, the city saw a massive destruction as most of its houses were made up of traditional mud and brick elements. Sujan Chitrakar an artist and art activist led a reconstruction program for Bungamati, after the Earthquake entitled Rebuilding Bungamati.

The performance series, entitled The Market of Toys, was created specifically for Times Square. It is composed of four distinctive minimalistic single-element actions representative of Akademia Ruchu’s 40 years of experience working in the public realm. These austere, participatory interventions will simultaneously contrast and emphasize the vibrant character of Times Square and its multitude of visitors. The performances will be complemented by videos chronicling some of the collective’s seminal performances. These 30 second videos will play every 5 minutes on 10 CEMUSA newspaper kiosks located between 34th-48th Streets. A printed exhibition in the form of a newspaper documenting Academia Ruchu’s deep history of socially and politically driven public performances will be handed out to visitors.
Akademia Ruchu (The Academy of Movement) has been a political sounding board in Poland since its establishment in 1973 in Warsaw. Operating at the juncture of theater, performances, political actions, and anonymous interventions in the public realm which and with the involvement of spectators.

NO. 4871/4.’ and ‘PRINTED IN ENGLAND.’. More small print on the front states, ‘Words by D. Eardley-Wilmot / Music by Hermann Lohr / By permission of Chappell & Co., Ltd., the publishers of this song. / Bamforth copyright’. The front of the postcard is divided into two scenes. Below, we see a British soldier seemingly dreaming of the scene depicted above, in which he is sitting by a dinner table, with his arms around his wife and daughter, with another daughter sitting at his feet. The verse below them reads, ‘It’s a corner of heaven itself, / Though it’s only a tumble-down nest – / But with love brooding there, why, no place can compare / With my little grey home in the west.’.

15 December 2022 - Leinster House
PRESS RELEASE & REPORT
The Joint Committee on Gender Equality has today, Thursday December 15th, published its final report entitled Unfinished Democracy: Achieving Gender Equality.
This report is based on the work carried out by the Oireachtas Committee over 2022.
Chaired by Ivana Bacik TD, the cross-party Committee held a range of hearings to consider the comprehensive recommendations produced by the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality.
The Committee took the view that the 45 Assembly recommendations should be seen as a blueprint for achieving a gender equal Ireland, and so the focus of its deliberations was on how best to secure their implementation.
In particular, the Committee has developed a precise wording of the text for amending Articles 40.1 and 41 of the Constitution, and it calls on the Government to hold the necessary referendum in 2023.
The proposed changes to Article 40.1 would reflect the Assembly’s wish to see constitutional recognition for the principle of gender equality; and for principles of equality and non-discrimination.
The proposed changes to Article 41 would remove the sexist language currently in the text referring exclusively to women and mothers as having a ‘life’ and ‘duties’ within the home.
Instead, the proposed changes would insert gender-neutral language to ensure that the role of care is recognised, valued and supported by the State.
The proposed changes would also ensure a more inclusive definition of ‘family’ beyond the family based upon marriage.
Apart from constitutional change, the report also sets out comprehensive recommendations on a range of other gender equality measures; on childcare, care and social protection; on measures to address Domestic, Sexual and Gender Based Violence (DSGBV); on the role that education can play in challenging gendered norms and stereotypes; on the impact of pay and workplace conditions on gender equality; on how to achieve gender equality in leadership, politics and public life; and on how the gender equality principle can be protected through law and policy.
Speaking at the launch of the report, Committee Cathaoirleach Deputy Ivana Bacik expressed thanks to all who had engaged with the work of the Committee, saying:
“The aim of this report is to provide an action plan for change towards a truly gender equal Ireland, with meaningful timelines for implementation.
“We acknowledge that the implementation of some Assembly recommendations is already underway, and we now call on the Government to ensure the timely implementation of all of our recommended actions.
“In particular, we want to see a referendum held in 2023 to give effect to Assembly recommendations 1-3 on constitutional change; and we call on the Government to begin the preparatory work necessary for the holding of such a referendum.”
“We look forward to the implementation of our recommendations, and to the achievement of a truly gender equal society. As the Assembly has stated, ‘gender equality is a matter of human rights, justice, and fairness. It must underpin all of our interactions as a society."
“Until gender equality is achieved, our democracy will remain unfinished.”
Some of the key recommendations for government action in the report:
• Hold a constitutional referendum in 2023 to give effect to the Citizens’ Assembly recommendations on constitutional change, on the basis of the wording proposed by the Committee.
• Commission a 'cost of care' review that calculates the financial cost of unpaid care and examines the societal value of unpaid care.
• Move from a model of privatised care provision towards a publicly funded, accessible and regulated model of quality, affordable early years education and childcare.
• Ensure that the State takes over full responsibility for the remuneration of employees in the early years and childcare sector.
• Develop and establish a National Planning Unit for Care, to foster better linkages and co-ordination on care policies across all relevant Government Departments.
• Establish a Statutory Child Maintenance Agency to keep child maintenance out of the courts where possible.
• Ensure that action on the Third National Strategy on DSGBV begins immediately, pending the establishment of the new Statutory National Agency.
• Reinstate the Irish Sentencing Information System and ensure improved data systems within the criminal justice system to provide visibility on sentencing levels in DSGBV cases.
• Mandate the Electoral Commission to review A national gender quota strategy every five years.
• Initiate a process towards the introduction of a universal pension system.
• Institute a more generalised pilot Universal Basic Income (UBI) scheme based on the ‘participation income’ approach.

My first book, entitled Shorebirds of Ireland will be in your shops soon!!!
The Eurasian Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus), also known as the Common Pied Oystercatcher, or (in Europe) just Oystercatcher, is a wader in the oystercatcher bird family Haematopodidae. It is the most widespread of the oystercatchers, with three races breeding in western Europe, central Eurasia, Kamchatka, China, and Western coast of Korea. No other oystercatcher occurs within this area.
This is a migratory species over most of its range. The European population breeds mainly in northern Europe, but in winter the birds can be found in north Africa and southernmost Europe. Although the species is present all year in Ireland, Great Britain and the adjacent European coasts, there is still migratory movement: for example the large flocks that are found the estuaries of south-west England in winter mainly breed in northern England or Scotland. Similar movements are shown by the Asian populations. The birds are highly gregarious outside the breeding season.
A cultural event entitled “Follow Georgia” featuring an exhibition of work by contemporary Georgian artist Ms. Tamara Kvesitadze and a music performance by ethno-jazz band “Shin” was held on the sidelines of the Assemblies of WIPO Member States, which met from October 2-11, 2017.
Ms. Tamara Kvesitadze’s works take roots in antiquity and mythology as well as in surrealism, which successfully combine art and construction. The music of the Shin smoothly combines Georgian folk melodies with jazz, which is the sound of Georgia’s musical encounter with the world.
WIPO co-organized the event with the Government of Georgia to mark the 25th Anniversary of the National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia – SAKPATENTI.

This is my custom Kathie Olivas Hazel entitled "Til the End of the World", which was my contribution to the Zerostigmata Benefit Collective in Naples, Italy, devoted to raising awareness of Sandoff Syndrome. This piece is dedicated to Mattia Fagnoni.
I envisioned this piece to be a haven where Mattia is not suffering and can play to his heart's content. His father built him the ultimate tree house out of an old tree, protected by a cute wood dryad, where he can drink juice, eat sandwiches and read comic books. Mattia also has a secret treasure chest that holds everything that is dear to him inside of it. If you look hard enough, you may find it. Mattia also loves SCC Napoli, his favorite soccer team. His two best friends are Hubert and Cofield, his stuffed bears. Cofield has been naughty so he is strapped to Mattia's trusty boat. Hubert is guarding the sandwiches and snacks. Always on the lookout, Mattia is keeping watch, making sure that the sneaky Wood Octopus doesn't steal his treasure. Hopefully in this piece, Mattia will always play on, til the end of the world.
I used super sculpey, magic sculpt, wood, metal, paper, fabric and craft porcelain.

In 2011, I wrote a three part article on the Oppo BDP-93 entitled TVs? We Don’t Need no Stinking TVs – Third Generation Multi-channel Audio.

Now that the Oppo Digital players are no longer in production, how are you going to play multichannel SACD, DVD-A, multichannel FLAC files, and multichannel DSD files? How are you going to play stereo FLAC files and DSD files without a computer?
The answer came from Secrets own Jay Haider. He pointed to three solutions from Sony. The Sony BDPS6700 Blu-ray Player is the least expensive. The Sony BDPS6700 lists for $180 but is currently $90 at Wal-Mart. I just purchased it as a back up to my Oppo.
The Sony BDPS6700 is a tiny box and comes in at 2 pounds.
The other two Sony’s add 4K Blu-ray to the other functions.. If you need 4K, Sony makes the UDP-700 and UDP-800. The UDP-700 and UDP-800 list for $200 and $250 respectively. Discounts are much smaller.
Only the UDP-800 plays DVD-A. The UDP-800 is better built coming in at 9 pounds while the BDPS6700 is 2 pounds. The UDP-800 is a full sized unit and has a built-in power supply, while the BDPS6700 and UDP-800 use a 12V wall wart. If you need a 4K Blu-Ray player, the UDP-800 is clearly worth the $50 over the UDP-700.
Since the Sony BDPS6700 is two pounds, it moves when you push to close the disc draw. The BDPS6700 feet are almost not existent. It will scratch your expensive components if you do not put some protective material below it. If I were not doing my Jack Benny imitation, I would have purchased the UDP-800.
I tested no video functions at all on the BDPS6700. I have no idea of HDMI compatibility issues with expensive TVs. See the title of this article. It locked to my AVR in HDMI 1.1 without looking at the manual and I was thrilled. Multichannel SACDs were playing 10 minutes after I opened the box.
I had it playing FLAC files within an hour of opening the box, never touching a setup panel. Using my 2TB portable Seagate USB drive (I put all my download files on that drive) it played 96k sample / sec FLAC stereo files, 96k sample / sec FLAC multichannel files and 192k sample / sec FLAC stereo files. That function was introduced on the Oppo BDP-93. On the DSD side, it plays stereo or multichannel files and will play a Double-DSD (DSD128) stereo file. That function came later on the Oppo BDP-103. It also does .wav, mp3 and AAC. It does not support the exotic Quad-DSD (DSD256) or DXD. Below is a screen scrape from the Sony website.
Disc and File Support for Sony BDPS6700. Add Ultra Blu-ray for UDP-700 and DVD-A on top of that for the UDP-800
It played my one Blu-ray. You can watch the orchestra on this disc. I do not like that because they focus on the oboe when I want to look at the trombones playing the harmony. I can look at anything I want to live. Note the name of the article. Opera fans will have a bigger stack of Blu-rays.
Audio Blu-ray works in stereo and multichannel. For CD and SACD, the TV can be off. For studio Blu-ray, the TV is only needed for setup. They are still producing classical SACDs and they get reviewed in multichannel in current editions of classical music review magazines (American Record Guide and Fanfare). Double CD/SACD issues are very rare now, if you want to purchase, for example, a BIS disc you will be purchasing an SACD.
The Sony BDPS6700 has no DVD-A support unfortunately. As mentioned above, the more expensive, better built, UDP-800 supports DVD-A. I have a number of DVD-A discs but I have the original Oppo DV-980H, which still works, as a backup unit to play DVD-A. The Oppo DV-980H was the first player to transmit SACD and DVD-A down HDMI. The DV-980H was a revolution in the simplification of a multichannel audio setup. If you have a significant number of DVD-A’s with no back up player, go with the Sony UDP-800.
I checked the Sony BDPS6700 for playback of DVD, DVD-R and CD-R and had no issues.
I did not check Wi Fi or if it can find music files off my computers using Ethernet.
It has no analog audio support at all. You need HDMI for multichannel and DSD. It will send DSD if your AVR supports it. If your AVR does not support DSD, the Sony BDPS6700 switches to LPCM transcode automatically.

You must have a TV with HDMI to see the control screen except for CD or SACD. If you want to hear an SACD in stereo or multichannel, you must have the player connected to a unit that decodes HDMI 1.1 audio. The Sony BDPS6700 has a Coax out but that is limited to 96k sample /sec LPCM. DSD data or its LPCM transcoded form cannot be legally transmitted of S/PDIF.
On the audio side with HDMI, the Sony BDPS6700 does what the Oppo did but the Oppo’s build quality is several orders of magnitude better. The Sony UDP-800 is better built that the Sony BDPS6700 but still is not built like an Oppo. Many used the Oppo’s analog outputs. That is gone now with no replacement.
With the Sony BDPS6700 in the equipment rack, a computer is not required. I navigate my USB drive from the TV menu created by the BDP6700. I have a 19 inch 720p TV but that is too large for an audio only system. You can get a 13 inch with HDMI but they cost a lot more than the 19 inch. I will likely replace the giant screen 19 inch at some point for the more sensible 13 inch so everything fits in the equipment rack.

Using the Coax out into a stereo audio component makes sense if you have audio equipment without HDMI and you want to banish a computer. You have instead introduced a TV which is much cheaper. DSD support even transcoded is lost with the Coax.
For those of you who want a stereo-only SACD player with analog out, be prepared to pay at least $2000. If that is your budget, get an AVR with good room correction and one of the Sony’s for less if you can tolerate a small TV in the equipment rack.
As far as I know, it is impossible to play multichannel files without using a computer and its USB output. You will not find a six channel DAC. Other solutions run to five figures using professional interconnections. SACD playback is impossible regardless of what you pay when using a computer.
I am thinking about getting another Sony BDPS6700 as another spare. It is built as you expect for a $90 A/V component. I cannot say how long it will last.

On the HDMI audio side, an Oppo replacement for $80, discounted, for playing higher resolution files.
Improvements
Tiny size, 2 pound weight and non-existent feet cause problems.
No DVD-A support
Both resolved in the more expensive Sony UDP-700.
