Back on Sunday 15th November for more shots of the progress which has been made since the early morning, Wednesday 11th November, derailment of a freight train, traversing the rails along platform 1, one of the main passenger platform for main and local down, away from London, trains. A heavy cement train from Castleton, Earles' Sidings in the Hope Valley, had derailed on exiting from the station along platform 1 at around 02:45 that morning. It was the 6E91 working to Dewsbury Blue Circle, with Freightliner class 66, 66603, at the front hauling a rake of 34 full PCA tank wagons, 16 of which had derailed with one having turned over completely; this is the one standing right at the end of platform 1, seen in the videos seen here. The video is in two parts, the first 20 shots are those from the 11th, 8 of which were show as still pictures here-

At that time, late morning, a lot of Network Rail staff were present and were having a 'jolly good look' at the situation presented to them, now 8 hours after the event took place; Freightliner 66603 was at the front and halted on the Nunnery Main Junction and visible below in the hole in the Broad Street tunnel. Serendipitously, a blue/red striped cement truck passes along Sheaf Street right next to the toppled PCA wagon, the driver presumably blithely unaware of what was happening to his material, over the other side of the wall! The second part, the still taken last Sunday morning in very windy, but warmish conditions for the time of year, shows the progress made in 4 days and, more to the point, the mess which was made by such a relatively minor/moderate mishap. In addition, it appears that this set of points were replaced quite recently and there is a 10m.p.h. speed limit for passes along the line into the Shrewsbury Road tunnels; the R.A.I.B. will be looking at this as well as other aspects to determine what caused the incident and the ensuing disruption to passenger and other freight services which had to be cancelled or re-routed in the area for the rest of last week. The views here aptly demonstrate the kind of 'hands-on', heavy industrial type work, which has to be carried out in any weather or conditions and with the ever presence of danger close by. I personally feel it is to the Rail Network's credit that this is performed in a timely, serious, considered manner and any complaining which is done, and I have ready some about the speed at which clearance has taken place, should just step-back and look at what is involved for the best and safe outcome. The rails were replaced to a large extent by yesterday, so I understand, I haven't been back to look, but that's a week of whole and partial disruption, no-one being injured or killed and with the minimum of fuss about how good B.R. was; the past is a different country! Following this on the next day or so, both halves of the wagons which were still on the rails, one set at the front behind the lead loco, 66603 and another set at the back, sat along platform one, were disconnected leaving the centre section of derailed wagons with one toppled over, in-situ. The rear ones, maybe around 12, were taken back to Earles Sidings using a light engine move from there to connect up to the rear and move the undamaged set away back along the Hope Valley. The re-railed ones remaining were eventually also moved and were shunted into the Station Washer sidings and can these be seen in the video in two short rakes right, about 7 in all, next to the Shrewsbury Road tunnels. The front section, maybe 8 or 9, full PCAs, eventually continued on their designated path to the Blue Circle Cement Works at Dewsbury. The depressed centre PCA Bulk Cement wagons, tare weight is around 13 tonnes and when filled with 37 tonnes of material results in the toppled tank wagon, #10756, weighing around 50 tonnes, so 37 tonnes of cement had to be pumped out before the wagon could be moved, the timing load for this move was 2000 tonnes. By Tuesday this week, all looked normal(ish) on the track diagram and services appeared to be coming and going including the normal reversal on US1, Up Slow 1, between platforms 5 and 6 of the Tuesday RHTT, 3S12 inwards and 3S13, the diagram to Gainsborough back out. Last Wednesday, due to the stop on traffic into the station, the RHTT ran a series of 3Zxx workings, the early morning run, 3Z11, from York Thrall, reversing in the Brightside Sidings and then heading back out, 3Z12, on a circular route north and back to Woodburn Junction where, for the first, and only, time it came along the Stocksbridge Branch to give the rails up there a bit of a clean. See these, first at Neepsend on the way north-

The bright and very breezy Sunday produced some very colourful shots both outside and inside on the station platforms where access, with adherence to the Covid-19 rules was in place, thankfully, was un-stressful, though there were hardly any folk about other than the occasional dozen or so getting off the Intercity services on platform 8. The high reach crane, brought in and parked on Sheaf Street where the road was under a closure all day Sunday, looks to be taking charge of the heavy ironmongery shifting, bringing in sleepers, track panels ans other stuff, over the Sheaf Street Wall. As has been pointed out, the River Sheaf flows beneath the station here in a large culvert and it actually passes under near where the derailment took place. Some investigation will presumably reveal it wasn't a collapse of any part of this which caused the track to buckle and the wagons to hit the ballast, one more dramatically than the rest! There were various parked up sets of Northern stock, a class 195, 195024 on Up Slow 2, class 170, 170476 on Up Slow 1, a class 153, 153317, on Down Slow 2 and class 195 on Down Slow 1, seen from the footbridge and a class 153, 153331, in the Washer Sidings next to the parked up PCA tanks. A couple of passenger moves also came and went, the first was an East Midland Railways HST set arriving from the north and coming in slowly, it had just traversed the Sheaf Street Tunnel, along platform 6 to pause for passengers, this was the 1C43, Leeds via Sheffield Platform 6 to St. Pancras International passenger service with 43314 at the front and 43316 at the back; a rainbow illuminates the top floor of the Parkhill Flats in the background and scrap material can be seen in the spent waste train wagons in the foreground. The shot looking over to platform 8 was the rear of the EMR train comes into view, sees Northern class 170, 170476 on the Up Slow 1 line, the EMR rear power car, 43316 and poking out behind the 'Sheffield' running in board, a Northern class 158, 158861 on platform 8 awaits passage out of the station to the east on the 2P14 service to Lincoln Central, usually using the lower numbered platforms, it has been forced to use 1 of the only 2 in service, 6 and 8. Freightliner 66953 is thrumming away on bay platform 3A with its train of spoil and a light engine move, 66601, will come in later to haul the whole north to Doncaster on the 6Y75, Sheffield to Doncaster Down Decoy spent materials train. Having grabbed as many shots on the station site which I deemed appropriate it was time to move off and so, leaving the station I walked back alongside the high wall, finally standing on the step-ladder and poking the camera over the wall at the Tram stop near the station covered footbridge. Grabbing what was thought to be the last 2 or 3 shots, a complete surprise came along in the form of an orange/yellow Colas loco, having not bothered to see what was on offer that morning, I had no idea that the late running, fortunately by 90 minutes at the outset, 'MENTOR' test train was in the area and would be passing through and set to be held for 20 minutes at Sheffield's S0077 signal just outside the station. In the event it picked up some time on the way up from Derby and arrived outside the station 48 minutes late, but then wasn't held at the signal and passed along platform 8 at 11:49. This is the 'canary yellow, 'MENTOR', 'Mobile Electrical Network Testing, Observation and Recording' train with Colas class 67, 67027, 'Charlotte' at the front and 67023, 'Stella' at the rear; the next 7 shots show the progress of this, slowly along platform 8 on the 1Q19, Derby R.T.C. to Heaton T&R.S.M.D. working. Jolly glad it set off 101 minutes late or else I wouldn't have been here to see this, which I haven't done for a long time. Just as it is passing into the Sheaf Street tunnels, a Sheffield Supertram rattles past on the tracks outside the station, this one, unit #101, heading to Malin Bridge from Herdings Park. The final traction move appears just as the Ainscough crane prepares to hoist some new railhead over the wall, heading from the north through the right portal of the Sheaf Street Tunnels and heading along platform 8, just after the Colas Rail test train cleared out of the way, is a Cross Country Trains class 220, 220018 at the front with class 221, 221128 at the back on the 13 station stop, 5 hours, 1V54, Newcastle via Sheffield Platform 8 to Bristol Temple Meads passenger service. The final shot shows the new rail having been secured and its now on its way to form a new section of the damaged track from derailed freight train last Wednesday in the early hours of the morning.
I was able to get several shots the day I went to Costco to shop.. There is a substation almost across the road from the driveway to the store...Happy Telegraph Tuesday, Everybody !!!
The anime series Lain used exposed electrical poles to great effect, and ever since I watched it I've had a thing for the stark outline of a laden electrical pole.

Tianliang Ma
~ a Taiwanese social reformer, philosopher, photographer, cinematographer, and film director
“Touching Fairness and Justice”
馬天亮
~ 臺灣的社會改革者，哲學家，攝影師，和電影導演
《感動的公平與正義》
TianLiang Maa, alternative spelling: Tianliang Ma, also known as Theophilus Raynsford Mann; Ma, Tianliang; Chinese: 馬天亮; 马天亮.
SUMMARY
TianLiang Maa is a naturalist, occultist, Buddhist and Taoist. In 1982, Maa developed a technique for abstract photography, applied “Rayonism” into photographic works. Maa staged 32 individual, extraordinary exhibitions around Taiwan, who was the first exhibitor around Formosa. Maa’s works is the beginning of modernization in the modern abstract arts in the world. At the University of Oxford, Maa’s attractive topic was “A View of Architectural History: Towns through the Ages from Winchester through London Arrived at Oxford in England”; also an author at the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Michigan in the United States; an alumnus from Christ Church College at the University of Oxford in England, the University of Glamorgan in Wales, and National Taiwan University in Taipei on Taiwan. Maa’s works have been quoted by the scholars many times, making Maa one of the highly cited technological, artistic, and managing public administrators in the academia. Maa was listed in “Taiwan Who’s Who In Business” © 1984, 1987, 1989 Harvard Management Service.
Early Life and Record of Genealogy
TianLiang Maa possesses both Taiwanese and German surnames from birth. Usually, whenever anyone asks Maa about where he comes from, he would reply “Formosa” as he grew up and was educated in the Far East and lives in Taiwanese and Japanese lifestyles. Moreover, he often teaches and educates younger generations based on the methods of the Far Eastern teaching he experienced when he was young, though he does not oppose the Western ways of teaching and thinking. Maa takes great pride in his roots, which go back 150 years (since 1864); Maa’s ancestry originates and creates generations, and prepares younger generations to succeed their personality and ethical standards and integrity.
Education in Taiwan and a Brief of Latest Generation of History in Taiwan / Formosa
In 1980, Maa obtained his postgraduate certificate from the Graduate Institute of Electrical Engineering of National Taiwan University in Taipei; successfully completed another graduate studies in Information dBase III Plus and Taiwanese Traditional Chinese Mandarin Information System at National Sun Yat-Sen University in Kaohsiung in 1989.
In history, the Portuguese explorers discovered and called the island (Taiwan), “Formosa” (meaning “Beautiful Island”) in 1590. They are non-Chinese people; it was long a Chinese and Japanese pirate base. Fighting continued, between its original inhabitants of Taiwanese and the Chinese settlers, into the 19th century. In 1894-95 first Sino-Japanese War that ended in Manchus of the Qing (Ching) dynasty defeat, the late Manchu Qing Government forced to cede Formosa to Japan. This result was made by the Treaty of Shomonoseki in 1895 and remained under Japanese control until the end of the Second World War. Early on, Taiwan was conquered by the Qing in 1683 and for the first time became part of older China dynasty. However, today, the home country of Maa’s origin has around 165 institutions (93 universities) of higher education, which now has one of the best-educated populations in Asia. Among the major public (state) ones are the National Taiwan University (NTU) at Taipei, and National Sun Yat-Sen University (NSYSU) at Kaohsiung. NSYSU is also called National Chun-Shan University; according to Times Higher Education 2010-2011, NSYSU ranks as the 3rd university in Taiwan, 21st in Asia, and 163rd worldwide. National Taiwan University is ranked 51 to 60 ranks on Times Higher Education World University Rankings - Top Universities by Reputation 2013, the United Kingdom (see www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/...); King's College London (KCL) (21st in the world and 6th in Europe in the 2010, QS World University Rankings), the University of London, and University of Southern California (is one of the world's leading private research universities, located in the heart of Los Angeles), afterward.
Backing to Maa’s early school-time of Taiwan Provincial Kaohsiung Industrial Senior High School (Kaohsiung Municipal Kaohsiung Industrial High school), the professional technical education, which is equivalent to Advanced Level General Certificate of Education, commonly referred to as an A-level in the United Kingdom; China Electronic Engineering College, the distance learning programme, which is in equivalence as UK’s Diploma of Higher Education / Undergraduate Diploma (as an Associate Degree in the United States). An additional, his middle education was taught by the Kaohsiung Municipal Chihjh (Ci Sian) Junior High School; and Kaohsiung Municipal San Min Elementary School was his first school in Taiwan.
Early Career
In 1989, Maa instituted Maa’s Office of Electrical Engineer, he settled himself in electrical technology and industries as a chief engineer in his early years. He put his professional and precise knowledge to good account in business management. A formal business management with business relationship established to provide for regular services, dealings, and other commercial transactions and deed. He had many customers having a business and credit relationship with his firm then he was a successful engineer.
Study Abroad and Immigration into the United Kingdom
In 1998, Maa studied abroad when he arrived in Great Britain; he studied at School of Built Environment, the University of Glamorgan in Wales for a master of science in real estate appraisal. Until the summer of 2000, Maa completed an academic course on “Towns through the Ages” from Christ Church College at the University of Oxford (is ranked the 2nd place worldwide on The Times Higher Education, World University Rankings 2012-2013
www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/...) in England. Afterward, Maa immigrated into the United Kingdom in the early year of 2004.
PHILOSOPHICAL VIEWS
Maa is a naturalist; he trusts spiritual naturalism and naturalistic spirituality, which teaches that “the unknown” created this wonderful world. “The unknown” arranged the nature with its law so that everything in nature is kept balanced and in order. However, human beings failed to control themselves, deliberately went against the law of nature, and resulted in disasters, which we deserved. He also is an occultist, a Taoist, and a Buddhist; but in Britain, he frequently goes to Christian and Catholic churches, where he makes friends with pastors and fathers as well as churchgoers. In his mind, he recognizes “Belief is truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart”. He is always a freethinker, does not accept traditional, social, and religious teaching, but based on his ideas: a thought or conception that potentially and actually exists in his mind as a product of mental activity - his opinion, conviction, and principle. If people have not come across eastern classics and philosophy, we are afraid that people would never understand TianLiang Maa. People cannot judge an eastern philosopher based on western ways of thinking. He studies I Ching discovering eastern classics of ancient origin consisting of 64 interrelated hexagrams along with commentaries. The hexagrams embody Taoist philosophy by describing all nature and human endeavour in terms of the interaction of yin and yang, and the classics may be consulted as an oracle.
Back in the 1990s when Maa just arrived at England, he had been offered places to do Ph.D. and LL.M. degrees (degree in Law and Politics of the European Union) by several western professors in the Great Britain. He has met all the requirements for postgraduate admissions to study at UK’s universities.
During his time at Oxford, he learnt a lot of British culture and folk-custom while carrying out research with many British and Western professors, experts, and archaeologists. This proves that Maa understands various aspects in British society, culture, and lifestyles. Of course, he does not fully understand about the perspectives of thinking of a typical British. For example, what would be the most valuable in life for a British person? What would a British want to gain from life? What is the goal in life for a British? Is it fortune or a lover? Alternatively, perhaps honour? On the other hand, maybe being able to travel around the world and see the world?
FAIRNESS and JUSTICE
As TianLiang Maa’s (馬天亮) saying are:
“Touching Fairness and Justice”
Feel good about themselves, but do not know the sufferings of the people...
Who can get easy life like them?
What is profile of modern society?
What type and style is truly solemn for this society identify?
Where “the characterization” is? Who can see? Did you see it?

誰能得到安逸的生活如同他們一樣？
這是個什麼樣子的社會？

「特徵」在那裡？誰可以看到？你看到了嗎？
Jurisprudence and Political Philosophy and Perspectives
Maa ever studied judicial review and governmental action, the impact of law and legal techniques, constitutional mechanisms for the protection of basic rights, and ensuring the integrity of commercial activity, the impact of law and legal techniques on government, policymaking, and administration, as well as the creation of markets. He tries to understand these critical trends in the political development of modern state. Maa will combine both theoretical and empirical approaches, and the conditions for democratic transition and the nature of state development in the ‘post-industrial’ era of globalisation and economic integration.
According as Maa’s legal experiences, he comprehend that “the knowledge of the law is like a deep well, out of which each man draught according to the strength of his understanding”, and, law and arbitrary power are in eternal enmity. He is also sure law and institutions are constantly tending to gravitate like clocks; they must be occasionally cleansed, and wound up, and set to true time.
The government issues a decree - an authoritative order having the force of law, which charged with putting into effect a country's laws and the administering of its functions. Any of the officials promulgate a law or put into practice relating to the government charged with the execution and administration of the nation's laws then they announce and carry out the creation of any order or new policy that will be responsible for the people.
Maa had knowledge in connexion with construction law; he also understands architectural arts, and as well learnt the forms by combining materials and parts include as an integral part concerning modern construct. I ever built urban buildings and rural architecture in different styles under new housing and building projects by the governmental administration and construction corporations.
Right now, Maa studies the problems caused by ethnic disputes and human armed conflicts in the modern society resulted code of mixed civil and criminal procedure. He wishes an agreement or a treaty to end human hostilities - the absence of war and other hostilities around the world. The interrelation and arrangement of freedom from quarrels and disagreement become harmonious relations living in peace with each other. Actually, erect peace in more friendly ways of making friendships for modern human society is comfortable in my ideal. It is like building monolithic architecture: houses and buildings for the people. Maa would like to do “something beautiful for `the unknown`”.
In the ethnic disagreement and armed conflicts as concerning the poor people and children notwithstanding they live through a bad environment on any of poor or crowded village or town in a particular manner - lived frugally. However, after years of industrialisation as a more educated population, becomes more aware of global plenum, continuing to be alive. Environmental groups are increasing and lobbing government will legislate to stop bad environmental and social practices. The establishments of human rights’ wide and untiring efforts will be alleviated people’s suffering. And as well the poor people shall meet and debate sustainable development and for a concerted government led action towards sustainability is an example that the younger generation are concerned for the future. It shall be making the younger easier for their life and make better on their lives, and help them to build a better future.
In present world, Maa really knows the full meanings of “Fundamental Human Rights and Equal Opportunities for the People”. He thinks ethics is the moral code governing the daily conduct of the individual toward those about him / her. It represents those rules or principles by which men and women live and work in a spirit of mutual confidence and service. Without going into the question of how an ethical code was formulated or why anybody should obey it, we can look at the matter in a common-sense fashion with reference to its influence upon our legal affairs. In brief, from the law point of view, a reputable ethical code embodies the qualities of accuracy, dependability, fair play, sound judgement, and service. It is based upon honesty.
No person can have an ethical code that concerns him / her alone. Living in society, as he / she must, a person encounters others whose rights must be respected as well as his / her own. An honest regard for the rights of others is an essential element of any decent code of ethics, and one that anyone must observe if anybody intends to follow that code. After all, ethics is not something apart from human beings. Indeed, there is no such thing apart from our actions and us. It is the duty, therefore, of every man and woman in legal affairs to see that his daily associations with others are truly in conformity with the plain meaning of the Ten Commandments: “Thou shalt not barratry, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not receive illegal fee and the rest”.
The knowledge Maa has, in connection with legal affairs, was usually come from his precious experiences of his past over ten year’s law and political careers. In an interval regarded as a distinct period of 1980s, he studied mixed civil and crime, and the code of mixed civil and criminal procedure for the problems caused by ethnic disputes and human armed conflicts in the modern society. He was especially one who maintains the language and customs of the group, and social security in Taiwan.
Since 30 July of 1988, Maa settled himself in law as a chief executive and scrivener at Central Legal, Real Estate, and Accounting Services Office; it is in the equivalent to a solicitor of the United Kingdom. The Office provided full legal, accounting, real estate, and commercial services to the public. He did his job as a person legally appointed by another to act as his or her agent in the transaction of business, specifically one qualified and licensed to act for plaintiffs and defendants in legal proceedings and affairs. Over and above Maa was a chairman and executive consultant at Taiwan Credit Information Company®, founded in 1994. The company offered services to the public in response to need and demand in the area of credit information.
Maa had excellent experiences in political and law work was pertaining to mixed civil and crime, the code of mixed civil and criminal procedure, construction, and commercial law abroad. The experiences of legal services related to the rights of private individuals and legal proceedings concerning these rights as distinguished. In the criminal proceedings, he did many cases for the defendants. Although an act committed or omitted in violation of a law forbidding or commanding it and for which punishment is imposed upon conviction; but he also laid legal claim, required as useful, just, proper, or necessary to the defendants under the human rights in the meantime. This provision ensures to the defendant a real voice in the subject.
The men whose judgement we respect are those who do not allow prejudices, preferences, or personalities to influence their decisions. Profit and self-aggrandisement are likewise ignored in their determination to reach an equitable and fair settlement. What are the basic principles upon which good judgement is founded? A keen intellect, a normal emotionally, a through understanding of human nature, experience of law work, sincerity, and integrity.
Developed a Technique for Abstract Photography and Abstractionist
In 1982, Maa developed a technique for abstractive photography, which applied “rayonism” to the photographic works. In November of 1984, Maa was 26-year-old, he instructed many professors and students of National Taiwan Normal University in photography of abstract impressionism and rayonnisme in Taipei, Taiwan. The word “rayonnisme” is French for rayonism - a style of abstract painting developed in 1911 in Russia.
Photographic Exhibitions
TianLiang Maa (Theophilus Raynsford Mann) Photographic Exhibition of “Rayonnisme / Rayonism” Tour - Invitational Exhibition of Taiwan 1983-84.
一九八三〜八四年中華民國臺灣 馬天亮攝影巡迴邀請展
TianLiang Maa (Theophilus Raynsford Mann) Photographic Exhibition of Rayonnisme / Rayonism (32 individual exhibitions) 1983~1985.
馬天亮『光影』攝影特展（個人展32場）1983〜1985年.
Maa staged 32 individual, extraordinary exhibitions and annual special exhibitions on photography of abstractive image and Rayonnisme around Taiwan / Formosa. Maa was the first exhibitor around the country. All of the invited displays were by the Chinese Government, cultural and artistic organisations, and sponsors. Maa’s earliest exhibition took place in the National Taiwan Arts Education Institute (Museum) on 19 December 1983 when Maa was 25 years old; Maa was the youngest exhibitor in the history of the Institute in any solo exhibitions. The Institute that was opened in March 1957, kept a collection of Maa’s work. It is currently updating the Institute’s internal organisation and strengthening co-operation with leading institutes and museums around the world. Meanwhile, it widened the institute’s scope to increase its emphasis on Taiwan’ regional culture and folk arts.
Modernization in the Modern Abstract Arts of Taiwan
Maa’s works is the beginning of modernization in the modern abstract arts of Taiwan, China and greater Chinese society in the world. The use of “modernisation” as a concept that is opposed to “Traditional” of “Conservative” ideas began with the approach of the 20th century. It spreads rapidly through academic circles, and was broadly accepted as a means to reform society. Chinese Manchu Qing (Ching) dynasty’s first steps toward modernisation began in the Tung-chih era (1862-1874) with the “Self-Empowerment Movement”. During the late 19th century, as late Manchu dynasty was confronted on all sides by foreign aggression, voices throughout society debated the most effective means to reform and strengthen the country. Some advocated “combining the best of East and West”, while others went so far as to call for “complete Westernisation”. Taiwan was at the centre of these waves of reform. Faced with direct threats against the island by foreign enemies, the Chinese Ching dynasty court took special steps to push Taiwan’s modernisation.
In a role just like that of a gardener wanting to create a rich and fertile environment for the seeds of culture, one in which Maa may sprout, grow and bloom. Maa aims to provide an educational stimulus for society by introducing his works - Maa can express the neo-romantic spirit deftly from various creations and supporting international artistic exchanges. Maa believes that the first step in creating such a new and independent state is the real emergence of culture and arts, for which the art and science of designing and erecting buildings, and fine arts (including photography and motion picture) of the civilization is a good measurement of success. For the foreseeable future, Maa should be continuing to forge ahead, working diligently and unceasingly towards its mission of raising China and Formosa / Taiwan’s culture in his spare time.
Became an Author and a Scholar
In 1980, TianLiang Maa completed his first book - scenario original “The Soul's Sentimentalizing”, also named: “Hun Yun : Jin Qi Tu Rui” 電影原著《魂韻》(衿契吐蕊) then Maa was at the age of 22. In 1983, The General Library of the University of California, Berkeley in the United States of America, collected and kept Maa’s writings - scenario original 「魂韻 : 衿契吐蕊」“Hun Yun : jin qi tu rui”, included a musical composition of his own – “Sonate Nr. 1 C-dur op. 3 für Klavier (piano)”, composed on 3rd April 1977 then Maa was 18 years old. The works were published in 1980; the theme was based on “The Soul's Sentimentalizing”. Another masterpiece was an Album of Academic Work for News Publication “TianLiang Maa (Theophilus Raynsford Mann) Photographic Exhibition of Rayonnisme / Rayonism”, published in 1985. The Hathi Trust Digital Library, the University of Michigan also collected and kept Maa’s writings.
Authorship
Maa’s articles and writings were published in more than 200 different kinds of domestic and foreign magazines, newspapers, and periodicals, in the period between May of 1972 and 1990s. It was all started when Maa was just 13-year-old. Many of which have been very influential. These have been quoted by Western and Eastern scholars many times in the last few years, making Maa one of the highly cited technological, artistic, and managing public administrators in the world in the late 20th and early 21st century. The Ministry of the Interior in Taiwan had registered Maa’s professional writings and given him two certificates of copyright. The numbers are 33080 and 33081 on 4th July of 1985; and Taiwan’s Gazette of The Presidential Office issue No. 4499, featured his writings on 4th September 1985.
Became an Academic and Film Director
Today, Maa is a professor at Space Time Life Research Academy, a photographer (portrait, fashion, commercial, digital, architectural, abstract photography), film director, and computer engineer now live and work in London; and most currently engage in his vocational professions of ‘Consultant of Immigration and Translations’. Maa is an author at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Michigan; an alumnus from Christ Church College at the University of Oxford, the University of Glamorgan, and National Taiwan University in Taipei on Taiwan.

SAIEE Western Cape Centre Initiative: Engineering the Future - School Group
Project to promote Electrical Engineering, Science and Technology
Engineering skills shortage has been identified as one of the aspects that
might hinder economic growth in South Africa. The paper compiled by Allyson
Lawless "Engineering Institutes look at the skills shortage that threatens
to affect the economic growth of South Africa", suggests increasing the
number of high calibre graduates from South Africa's tertiary institutions.
This can be done by increasing the number of engineering trained graduates
through our tertiary institutes.
Specific concern to the SAIEE is the shortage of electrical engineers. The
SAIEE needs to stimulate the appeal for electrical engineering amongst young
ones to choose electrical engineering as a career. The SAIEE needs to be the
authority in providing all information relating to studying electrical
engineering in South Africa. This information needs to be packaged in a
manner to appeal to the young ones.
The SAIEE Western Cape approached the MTN Sciencentre for an enrichment or
informative learner experience specifically geared to promoting careers in
electrical engineering. This will be done via a program of school group
visits to the MTN Sciencentre. Amongst the schools that this program target
are the Dinaledi schools, which were formed in 2001 to improve participation
and performance in maths and science, particularly among previously
disadvantaged learners.
To address the skills shortage will require intervention measures at high
school level. For this reason the SAIEE Western Cape Centre has embarked on
a project that aims to:-
* Encourage learners to take electrical engineering as a career
* improve the appreciation of engineering, science and technology
amongst educators
* To market the SAIEE as the authority in providing any details
regarding studying electrical engineering in SA
With the School Group Project, the SAIEE made it possible for 11 Schools to
be bussed into the MTN Sciencentre at Canal Walk, Cape Town. Each school
group consisted of 55 learners and 5 educators. The MTN Sciencentre contains
a floor of science and technological exhibitions. These exhibitions explore
science and technology like, wave propagation, gravity, forces, hydraulics,
electricity, magnetism, etc. They even have the largest working cellphone in
the world, as confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Each school was given an opportunity to spend an hour on the MTN Sciencentre
floor and interact with the Science and Technology exhibitions. The school
group was then separated into two groups. The one group participated in a
workshop to build an electric motor, while the other group is engaged in
science and technology activities at the centre; this would last for an hour
then the two groups would swop activities. After this both groups would
congregate at the MTN Sciencentre auditorium and they will be shown a video
on electrical engineering followed by a talk from one of the SAIEE members
(an electrical engineer) on what electrical engineering is about.
In the motor building workshop the school learners, including the teacher,
are introduced to concepts in magnetism, electromagnetism, working in teams,
communication and following instruction. The kids were working in small
groups of two or three and they build a small dc electric motor from kits
that were provided by the MTN Sciencentre. We had more that 50% success in
getting the small dc motor to run. It was great joy to see the smiles in the
learners' faces when their motors started running. For those whose motor
could not run would appreciate that in engineering we still need to work in
teams, communicate and follow instructions because their motor would fail
because they did not follow instructions or communicate.
The video and talk by an electrical engineer covered the following:-
* What is Electrical Engineering
* What is the work of an electrical engineer
* Where do you study Electrical Engineering
* What do you study
* What are the criteria
* Where can I go if I need assistance - SAIEE
The learners would be given an opportunity to ask questions. Most of their
questions were around the tertiary institution's entry levels; whether
electrical engineers are paid well; and study bursaries. After all is done,
the learners were treated to some lunch and sent (bussed) home.
605 learners from 11 schools participated in this project in the months of
April, May and June (before the World Cup). The list of such schools is
available below:-
A project like this would not be possible without the excellent partnership
between SAIEE, MTN Sciencentre and UCT SAIEE/IEEE Student Chapter.
1.MTN Sciencentre
*Busi, Ryan and Carmen for the putting the program together.
*John (a retired electrical engineer and part of MTN Sciencentre
staff), Fikiswa and Michael for facilitating the workshop and safely looking
after the learners without any hassles.
2.UCT SAIEE/IEEE Student Chapter
*Ragesh, big thanks for arranging UCT electrical engineering students
to come and assist with the facilitation of building the electrical motor.
The involvement of the students, makes the learners realise that with hard
work their dreams of going to tertiary education can be made real; with
determination and hard work, off-course.
*Michael Nyarko, Francis Masuabi, Benson Chan, Eric Chen, Denis Wong,
Ragesh Pillai, Leen Remmelzwaal, Chris Fourie and Derrick Marumo, for taking
the time from your hectic varsity lives to facilitate the workshops. Your
contribution will go a long way in the minds of the young learners.
3.SAIEE members
* Mr Larry Khuvutlu, for putting the program together and
participation with most of the school visits; facilitating and giving the
talk at times.
* Mr Wilfred Fritz, Mr Jaime Mabota (SAIEE WCC Chairman), Mr Rod
Harker and Ms Unati Nombakuse, for facilitating and giving the talks.
The SAIEE has committed an investment of R 30 544; an investment that our
country needs, if it to achieve its desired economic growth and development;
half poverty by 2014; build and maintain power stations. We need more of
projects like these.
