Just relaxing and listening to a song entitled "Oil and Water" off of Incubus' Light Grenades album. As most of you already know, they are my favorite band, hence the smile on my face when I listen to their music.
Here are the lyrics for the song...
You and I are like oil and water
And we've been trying, trying trying
Ohhhh, to mix it up.
We've been dancing on a volcano
And we've been crying, crying, crying
Over blackened souls.
Babe, this wouldn't be the first time,
it will not be the last time.
There is no parasol that would shelter this weather.
I been smiling with anchors on my shoulders
But I've been dying, dying, dying
Ohh, Ohh, Oh to let them go.
Babe, this wouldn't be the first time,
it will not be the last time.
There is no parasol that would shelter this weather.
Babe, this wouldn't be the first time,
it will not be the last time.
We were trying to believe that everything would get better.
We've been lying to each other
Hey! Babe! Let's just call it what it is!
Oil and Water!
Oil and Water!
Oil and Water!

Some ideas for a serie entitled Les Choses de la Vie, as a reference to a French movie with Romy Schneider and Michel Piccoli, in which a man who is dying after a car accident sees fleeting moments of his life, the little things one does not pay attention to when alive, and the people he loves or thought he did not love anymore.
The film used here is thanks to my friend (and master photographer) in Russia who so kindly sent me some rolls of expired Tasma film for me to try. The camera is Exakta Varex IIa with Biotar 58mm lens at f2.8. I will also shoot in color, please feel free to comment and say what you think.

The Primary Section had a special assembly entitled -" Dubai Modern High joins World Malaria Day" where students were briefed about causes of Malaria and the need to support this cause.
All students and teachers sported the blue ribbon.
The students of grade 4 were given an assignment over the week end - cross linked with science [ Mini Beasts - Mosquitoes ]
A display board has also been put up in the Primary Section having the necessary information about the challenge.
World Malaria Day Report - Senior School
The students of Dubai Modern High School visited the village of Ambedkar Nagar, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, during the month of March, as part of their commitment and resolve to protect the environment against degradation. However, when the students ventured into the village, they realized that the lack of rainwater harvesting was only one of their problems; they were also struggling with the spread of vector-borne diseases such as Malaria, typhoid and cholera. Improperly dumped waste, clogged drains and inadequate sanitation had led to the breeding of mosquitoes which led to the local residents being afflicted with malaria and other extremely serious diseases.
As part of Modern's steadfastness and commitment to the project and the villagers concerned, the students also undertook measures to alleviate the local inhabitants of their struggle against the deadly disease. The students attended a water literacy program organized by the local NGO, Dhan Foundation with which we were collaborating, and worked with the villagers in helping them understand the causes, symptoms and measures to reduce the spread of malaria.
As the photographs are too big to be sent by email, so we've put them in Powerpoint files and uploaded them on a personal server so you can download it from there.

Agincourt, Trafalgar, Waterloo... you don’t have to be a learned scholar of our island history to know that, over the centuries, Britain’s entente with France has not always been cordiale.
Indeed, even in the recent years of firm (but wary) friendship, our two nations have often gone their divergent ways.
Leave aside the painful day in 1940, after France’s armistice with Hitler, when the Royal Navy was reluctantly obliged to sink the French fleet.
Think instead of France’s refusal to back us in the Falklands or (no matter how justifiably) Iraq. Or consider the 43 years, which ended only 19 months ago, during which the French rejected Nato.
Yet today, David Cameron and President Nicolas Sarkozy are to declare a new era of Anglo-French defence collaboration which will make independent action by either nation all but impossible.
Even at a time when it’s vital to save money, how can this be wise?
True, those who feel deeply uneasy about depending on France will be accused of living in the past. But it’s the future that worries the Mail.
Though Mr Cameron and M. Sarkozy may get along, where will Britain be left if we have to plead with a future French Socialist Government for the use of an aircraft carrier to defend our interests?
And how can the Tories, who rightly opposed plans for a European army, even consider handing operational control of the SAS to France?
Mr Cameron said yesterday: ‘The point is to enhance sovereign capability by two like-minded countries.’
We may be like-minded today, Prime Minister. But what about tomorrow?
A disingenuous gameSacked last year for attacking tougher controls on cannabis, the aptly-named Professor David Nutt tries a new approach to pushing his soft line on illegal drugs.
With fellow liberal campaigners, the former government drugs adviser publishes research — based on his own formula — purporting to prove that all illicit drugs, heroin included, are much less harmful than alcohol.
Let’s be clear. For many years, the Mail has been highlighting the damage done to society by alcohol abuse — and nobody has campaigned more vigorously for tighter rules, including an end to 24-hour licensing and cheap drink promotions.
But Professor Nutt is clearly pursuing a different agenda when he plays up the dangers of alcohol — preposterously suggesting that it should be classified as a Class A drug.
Isn’t his chief purpose to play down the harm done by illegal drugs such as cannabis and cocaine — just as he did last year, when he announced that ecstasy was less dangerous than horse-riding?
If he had experience of rundown estates, where girls sell their bodies for a fix of crack, would he be so blase about drug abuse?
Of course, Professor Nutt is entitled to his opinions. But when he dresses them up as science, he is playing a disingenuous and dangerous game.
Equality of failure
In the name of equality, Chief Schools Adjudicator Dr Ian Craig condemns faith schools for favouring families involved in church activities.
There’s a danger, he says, that they may be (shock, horror!) middle class.
Meanwhile, he warns that specialist music schools may be breaking the law by accepting gifted musicians according to their ‘ability’, rather than their ‘aptitude’.
In short, he won’t rest until all children, equally, are denied places at the schools that suit them best.
"the Royal Navy was reluctantly obliged to sink the French fleet."
Another betrayal from the British: killing 1,297 french soldiers for no reason and you dare to claim it was "obliged" to do so?
Appalling revisionnism from an appalling tabloid.

If not for this action , the French fleet would have been taken over and crewed by Germans, we may not have won the war and you could still be under Nazi occupation!!! please remember the traitors of the vichey who sided with the Germans killed more of your own countrymen than this reluctant action.

"For many years, the Mail has been highlighting the damage done to society by alcohol abuse - and nobody has campaigned more vigorously for tighter rules, including an end to 24-hour licensing and cheap drink promotions."
Why not campign for a ban? The Mail constantly spreads propoganda to convince people that cannabis should be illegal, when it causes 0 deaths a year. But when it comes to the 10,000+ deaths a year that alcohol causes, you just want tighter rules, and no 24-hour licenses.
So to recap, the Mail's stance is:
0 deaths - keep it illegal
10,000+ deaths - keep it legal

We must also remember that they mutinied at Sedan and our Commanders said that we would draw rhe germans off by starting the Somme offensive where we lost so many of our troops.
As a Sovereign Nation we should always retain command of our troops and Cameron will learn this at his and our peril.

Would prof Nutt be so blase about drug abuse if he witnessed girls selling their bodies for crack? What sort of stupid, biased, uninformed and bigoted question is that??!
Shame on you, Daily Mail. Irresponsible, over-emotional and totally inaccurate rhetoric. Get real please.

The Color Purple
A fantastic poem penned by Jenny Joseph entitled Warning begins with this line. ‘When I am an old woman I shall wear purple’. The delightful verse tells of the boundaries attached to those who live a life of continuous accountability. It notes how, when we become older, we can get away with certain things. Many of these things are considered childish, excusable only because she is old. They include devouring all the free samples, setting off fire alarms, walking in the rain in our slippers, picking flowers growing in everyone else’s gardens and even daring to wear purple.
The poem does contain all that is possible and delightful as women age. It acknowledges the constant need to do what is right, to be responsible. It also is a reminder that perhaps we should not hold off on doing things we like until we have reached that certain age. Maybe we should really wear purple now.
If you look around, you often do see women who are more colorfully garbed now then in their younger days. They boldly dress themselves in brilliant reds and bright oranges and even purple. Meanwhile, the younger generation, slouch about in the safe colors, basic black and muted shades. Yet, in Ms. Joseph’s poem, the woman does wear what is for her a clashing combination: a red hat with a purple outfit. Yet, it is possible for many women to combine these colors beautifully and harmoniously into their wardrobe.
Choosing bright and bold colors does not reveal or indicate a lack of taste or fashion sense. In certain accessories, for example silk scarves and shawls, pulsating hues can look absolutely stunning. It does not matter whether the shades form part of a floral pattern or abstract design or comprise the colors of checkers and stripes. The colors comprising hand dyed scarves and hand painted shawls are brilliantly harmonized and never fall short in providing a sense of attractive elegance and style to the wearer. You do not and should not wait until you are old to wear them. They look marvelous on women of all ages. Combine them with the right outfit – contrasting or matching, and the overall effect is both discerning and dazzling.
It is any woman’s prerogative to wear purple. It is also her right to select and wear a hand painted silk scarf or shawl. These accessories rank among the most fashionable and essential items to be found in any woman’s closet. From age 18 to 80, you are certain to find a design among the many completely unique patterns that both appeal to and suit you. The versatility of these accessories means you can alter any garment in literally seconds. You can wear purple in or with a beautiful silk scarf or shawl as part of a traditional look or one that favors any worn by today’s celebrities.

The photographic portfolio entitled “GLOBALIZING CONTAMINATIONS” was among the finalists at the PORTFOLIO SIFEST 2018 international award (Italy). This photography project is the result of a one-month period lived in Africa from Kenya to Tanzania. In the 1950s and 1960s, the European colonial powers gradually ceased to administer their African territories. The process of “apparent decolonization” led to the gradual departure of all the expatriate personnel of the colonizing nations: administrators, soldiers and all those who had settled in the “colony”. This process favored the creation of independent states and paved the way for new foreign influences over those of the colonial powers. Therefore, after some years living in Africa, I came to ask myself: “How has the influence, after decolonization, of European countries evolved in the face of the emancipation of African countries and the competition of new powers?”

An article entitled "Sea lions at Victoria's Race Rocks injured by debris, boats" just ran in Victoria's Times Colonist that quoted me. See it here: www.timescolonist.com/technology/lions+Victoria+Race+Rock...
Anna Hall, a marine zoologist also quoted in the article suggests showing graphic images to children to warn them of the dangers posed to sea lions. This series is a response to that suggestion and not biased propaganda as I have been accused of.
This image summarizes the article's headline. Two California sea lions, one with some marine junk entangled around its neck (a death sentence), and another whose front flipper has been nearly severed by a boat's propeller (it is currently wasting away from not being able to hunt for food).
An update from a NOAA research biologist and a veterinarian who specializes in marine mammals: Both experts agree the wound has been present for so long that the original source of the trauma is impossible to say with scientific certainty. Possible causes include orca bite, entanglement, and boat strike.

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 a line-drawing of The New Inn at Cononley.
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.

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.

The US courthouse has recently been sold to a private individual so access to it will be increased in the future.

The photographic portfolio entitled “GLOBALIZING CONTAMINATIONS” was among the finalists at the PORTFOLIO SIFEST 2018 international award (Italy). This photography project is the result of a one-month period lived in Africa from Kenya to Tanzania. In the 1950s and 1960s, the European colonial powers gradually ceased to administer their African territories. The process of “apparent decolonization” led to the gradual departure of all the expatriate personnel of the colonizing nations: administrators, soldiers and all those who had settled in the “colony”. This process favored the creation of independent states and paved the way for new foreign influences over those of the colonial powers. Therefore, after some years living in Africa, I came to ask myself: “How has the influence, after decolonization, of European countries evolved in the face of the emancipation of African countries and the competition of new powers?”
DanSync is an interactive artwork that allows audience to manipulate real time human body movements with a custom-built table controller. DanSync was created for two collaborative performance installations entitled “Memory Station” and “Interface”, at Lasalle College of the Arts Singapore.
The intention of DanSync is to explore the human body movements by giving the audience control over the dancer’s movement. Vibrations will be activated where the lights are lit on the dancer’s body so as to notify her of the audience’s interaction
Interface is a collaborative project that explores the relationship of interactive media with dance performance. Based on extensive research of specific sites, custom-made technology is designed to respond to body movements or specific spaces and are translated to audio-visual expressions.
In each dance work by Level 2 BA(Hons) Dance student-choreographers, interactive technology serves as a choreographic tool and expressive media for this performance-installation.
Dancers - Anita Anton, Eva Tey, Samantha Lau, Lim Ming Zhi, Zhou Yiru

The education kit entitled “Riskland: the fun way to learn how to prevent disasters” is the outcome of a joint initiative between the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). This product was developed at the end of 2002 by the ISDR Regional Unit for Latin America and the Caribbean, in cooperation with UNICEF Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean (UNICEF-TACRO). Initially, it was addressed for countries in the LAC region and was originally produced in Spanish, English and Portuguese.
Riesgolandia, aprendamos jugando cómo prevenir desastres tiene la intención de poner a disposición de la comunidad educativa y a los niños y las niñas de América Latina y el Caribe una herramienta innovadora e interactiva para la reducción del riesgo de desastres.
The inauguration of the ‘Mirrored Painting’ by Italian artist Michelangelo Pistoletto, entitled 'Ritratto di Paolo Nespoli - Astronauta, Missione VITA', took place on 28 March 2018 at ESRIN, ESA’s centre for Earth observation in Frascati, Italy, as the climax of a joint initiative and a permanent symbol of the important link between space and art. The event hosted by the Head of ESA ESRIN and ESA's Director of Earth Observation Programmes Josef Aschbacher, was attended by ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli, Michelangelo Pistoletto, ASI representative Fabrizio Zucchini and RAM radiartemobile representatives Dora Stiefelmeier and Mario Pieroni.
This original piece of art, created by famous artist Michelangelo Pistoletto who is known as one of the founding fathers of the Italian Arte Povera contemporary art movement, features a full-scale representation of ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli. For Paolo’s VITA mission, ESA and ASI developed original ‘space and art’ initiatives as part of the communication activities to actively involve wider audiences. This began with Pistoletto’s development with ESA of the official patch for Paolo’s mission, which includes the artist’s symbol of his Third Paradise concept in the artwork.
A natural continuation of this cooperation was the ‘SPAC3’ app, which allowed users to select and combine Paolo’s images from space with their own photos. This activity was intended to draw attention to the wellbeing of our planet, and was inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. These provided the basis for Paolo’s choice of photos, and the app users could respond with their own photos on the same theme.
As a social artwork project, SPAC3 demonstrated that the two worlds of art and science can work together with the common objective of highlighting issues affecting our planet, and showed how involving a wider public could contribute to the vision and become part of this collective work. This joint initiative was made possible via a partnership between ESA and RAM radioartemobile, in cooperation with ASI and Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto.

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.

These 39 pictures entitled "Colors of Fall in Yardley . . ." were all taken around my home in late October, pre-Hurricane Sandy. Number 7968 is a photo of the tree that came crashing down on two unsuspecting cars parked underneath it at the height of the hurricane.
Fall happens to be my favorite time of year and not just because pumpkin flavors are all the rage. From late September to early November, Mother Nature puts on her most spectacular show. Trees of all types slowly transition from their standard leaves to shades of red, orange, gold, brown, and even purple. Landscapes across the country pop with vibrant colors and serve as a brief reminder just how beautiful nature can be.
It's a great time for hiking and scenic drives and below are all the resources you need to make your trip happen. Whether you want to know just why leaves change their colors or are looking for where to see specific shades, the answers are here.
So Why Do Leaves Change Colors?
The answer lies in one word: chlorophyll. It's the chemical that gives leaves their green color. Chlorophyll is also responsible for photosynthesis - a process where plants turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar. Confused? Let's back up to the basics.
Trees take water from the ground using their roots. They also take carbon dioxide from the air. But trees need oxygen and glucose to grow big and healthy. In order to do that, they use sunlight to turn the water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. That's photosynthesis. And chlorophyll helps make it happen.
When summer ends and autumn begins, there is less sunlight since the days get shorter. This is an important hint for trees and other plants to prepare themselves for the winter. Since there isn't enough light and water during the winter for photosynthesis, trees go into rest-mode and will feed off food they have stored up over summer. While processes shut down, chlorophyll starts to disappear from the leaves, taking away the green color. As the green fades, the leaves show other colors that have been there all along - yellow and orange. They have been hidden all summer by chlorophyll and during the fall, it is their time to shine!
You're probably wondering about the other signature colors of autumn - red, purple, and brown. Well, in some trees, such as maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. That glucose is turned into a red color from the sunlight and the cool nights of autumn. The brown color of trees, such as oaks, is made from tannin - a waste product left in the leaves.
The brilliance of colors you see every fall is directly related to weather conditions. The brightest colors are seen when late summer is dry, and autumn has bright sunny days and cool evenings. A good supply of rainfall also keeps the leaves on trees longer and helps to enhance the color.

From 5 August 2014 to 11 November 2014, a major artistic installation entitled 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red' saw the Tower of London's famous dry moat filled with over 800,000 ceramic poppies to create a powerful visual commemoration for the First World War Centenary.
The ceramic poppies were available to buy for £25 each and the net proceeds, hoped to be in excess of £15 million if all poppies were sold, would be shared equally amongst a group of carefully selected Service charities including the Royal British Legion.
The installation, in collaboration with ceramic artist Paul Cummins and theatre stage designer Tom Piper, was unveiled on 5 August 2014, one hundred years since the first full day of Britain's involvement in the First World War.
The poppies, a symbol of Remembrance in the UK, encircled the iconic landmark, creating not only a spectacular display visible from all around the Tower, but also an inspiring setting for performance and learning activities, as well as providing a location for personal reflection. The scale of the installation intended to reflect the magnitude of such an important centenary.
There were 888,246 poppies installed, one for each British and Colonial fatality during the war.

A new work entitled "Richtig baggern! Über die vergessenen Lehren der Kunstgeschichte" (by Michalis Nicolaides, *1967 Nicosia, Cyprus).
Beauty and the Beast, King Kong and the White Woman, these and many more literary and cinematic references come to mind when watching this performance, where Nicolaides kidnaps the damsel in distress, a screaming Julia Stoschek, who, nevertheless, never loses her sense of humour. Oh, and yes, his body did look as red as this...

Back cover of 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.
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.

These are the pieces from my first solo show, entitled “The Ghost of the You Haunted Me..." held at Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago, IL on Sept 7, 2012.
This body of work is the culmination of many of the elements found in my custom toy work within my Forest of Sorrows narrative and I have strived to create a cohesive storyline that ties together many of the concepts and themes seen over the past couple of years.
In this story, when people pass onto the next life, those with unfinished business are taken to the Silva Dolorosa (The Forest of Sorrows) to begin a life anew, where the choices and decisions they make will determine how their lives turn out.
At the end of days as one’s life ebbs away, the Flederkanichen creatures arrive to shepherd these souls, manifested as a seed, and carry them to the Silva Dolorosa. Upon arriving, they drop the soul seeds down into the depths of the forest where the Saplings catch them, plant them in their heads waiting for them to bloom again, at which point they will plant them on the forest floor in the perfect place, so that the souls can begin their new lives.
On one particular day, with one particular soul seed dropped by the Flederkanichen, a big gust of wind blew the seed out of the hand of the Sapling assigned to it and it hit the ground, breaking the cardinal rule of the forest. It was at this moment that Locket, the geist girl was reborn in this limbo, confused and bewildered as to where she was. Frightened, she runs deep into the forest to discover who she was in her previous life, and what she was to become in the next.
Concurrently, at the moment at which Locket was born, the last guardian of the forest, the Hollow Knight, was awakened from deep slumber, tasked with ensuring the sanctity of the Silva and all of its denizens. He sets off on a quest to find Locket, only to encounter yet another new visitor to the forest - the ferocious and monstrous Blackwülf, who seems to be racing the Hollow Knight in a quest to reach Locket first.
This is the story of death, understanding, rebirth and redemption. I hope that the pieces I have created for this show will help to give an insight into this story that I have been telling.
