I don't know what's going on....the game will start up fine, but when I try to view a replay or play a quickmatch, the game just crashes. I see the loading screen for a split second (you know, the big blue screen which shows the minimpa and the players), then it crashes.
And I really do mean split second . It's the same no matter what I try (skirmish, replay, campaign), and I've restarted my computer several times .
I had a lot of problems installing the game in the first place so I really do not want to do it again if I can help it.....does anybody know what can be causing this?
Grunt: 1st off...In a post like yours, it's worthless unless you gives use you "exact" specs of your computer. Also..Let us know what audio & video card diers you're using! Then we might be able to help you!
There's also a huge thread on crashes. Work your way through it and see how you get on. In the CRASH thread, pay particular attention to the posts by shaggyfellow (name in blue).
Alright thanks, and I also don't know how to check my comp specs ^_^. It's not mine, and I'm kinda computer-inept, or I would have .
I thought your name rang a bell!
So you've had it running fine and this just happened? Strange.
When you loaded it up, did you make sure you had all your anti virus switched off? Also, if you had 'loading from disc' problems, there is a way around it. Create a series of folders called ROL DISK 1 etc and copy each disc to it's corresponding folder. Then install from the PC.
Grunt: In order for you to play certain games, you MUST have a general understanding of your computer system! Knowing what video card you own is the 1st thing you need to get a handle on. Also...Making sure all your drivers are up-to-date. PC Gaming isn't like playing with the XBOX 360. You need to upgrade your box as time goes on or replace it outright.
My computer is over 2 1/2 years old & I have replaced a few things along the way! I hope Ican get another 6-12 months out of her, but @ that point it will be time for a complete new box.
My game's been running fine, though! I've played almost 60 games online, played through the campaign, watch replays all the time.....it's never given me problems until today!
If it does not work tomorrow, I shall have to reinstall it....that'd probably be the best solution .
"PC Gaming isn't like playing with the XBOX 360. "
That's a bit Harsh. Grunt's done some good work on the forum. I don't think he's quite as inexperienced as he makes out. Besides, we're here to play the game, not complete course work in computer engineering (although it has felt like it at times!).I think BHG would be horrified if the community adopted the attiude that ROL is for 'Experts techs only'.
Just reinstall it Grunt. That'll probably fix it. Make sure you defrag after uninstalling and before you reinstall though.
Grapeshot: Please don't be so sensitive! I wasn't being harsh with Grunt, just that "if" you're going to ask for help, then we need the "basic" info. I'm not saying he needs to go & get a computer degree!
BHG would love it if most people had a basic understanding of computers! Most people today simply want to push a button & expect it to work without any issues. I wish it was true myself, but as we know, it is not.
From there you should be able to see your sound/video card, processor ect.
That'll give you a run down of your complete system.
To get access to your graphic card's details, options and information, just right click on an empty area of your desk top, select 'properties' from the pop-up menu, click on the 'settings' tab, then hit 'advanced' in the right hand corner and you'll have lots of fun stuff to play with. Bit of advice, NEVER force the refresh rate!
Once you know what you've got go to either ATI.com or nvidia.com and update your drivers, if you haven't already done so.
Grapeshot: I'm like you....I'm not a great RTS MP player! I'm kind of old (turned 40 on 12/31/05) So...I still play a lot of turn-based gaming (i.e. Heroes of Might & Magic series, Age of Wonders etc.) More my speed! Or lack of speed.
If you want to play MP w/o any issues, please let me know & I'll e-mail you my address or maybe you have a Gamespy account? Anyway...I live on the East-Coast in the US.
I would love to play MP with a noob like myself who doesn't really care about winning or losing. I simply like having fun playing the game!
Well, here's my warning log.....I hope it helps....and thanks for the help, guys .
I hope that's all the necessary info :P.
lol! That really made me laugh! I accept, but I'll have to get my multiplayer to connect first though. Yep, it aint working! I'll get back to you in this thread (off topic alert!).
Grunt, that's very strange. I'm not seeing the sort of corruptions I saw, but as the game seems to be searching for files it can't find, the pc may have lost some paths and short cuts. When was the last time you did any defrag, drive checks etc?
http://www.iolo.com/sm/6/index.cfmThe time limited demo is fully functioning I believe. It'll allow you to identify broken short cuts, optimize memory usage etc.
This may be obvious and of no help, but watching a replay of a game played from an older (pre-patched) version of RoL will almost always cause the game to crash.
The Unclassified Warnings quoted are "normal" those same lines are output for every game session.
Another "normal" non-fatal error. I don't see anything unusual in the log. Its crashing before it can write out any errors.
First, check that other DX9 games are functioning okay to eliminate possibility of any system/DirectX/hardware corruption.
Otherwise I'd make careful note of gamespy login, backup replays, campaign saves etc. and reinstall.
warning_log.txt is only written out when a game ends successfully, or maybe when you close RoL. Either way, it doesn't help when the game crashes . If the game crashes, check log.html (in the same location); it should contain any error messages from the last game played.
Damn, I can't even reinstall it! First of all, I reckon something wasn't right with the installation to begin with, because I can't find an 'uninstall' icon.
When I autorun, the uninstall option is greyed out, but the 'install' option isnt.
Ok fine, I figure....I go to control panel -> add/remove programs........RoL isn't there.
So I decide to re-install the game without deleting the old one....I get some error, so it doesnt work (I couldnt take a screenshot because it crashed), but when I started up the game, it was as though it had just been re-installed. I had to accept the license agreement again, enter my name, change my graphics settings.....I started up a game.....crashed in the loading screen . RoL still hates me.
I'm out of ideas.....how the heck do I get rid of the old version of the game so that I can reinstall it?
When in doubt, start from scratch! Firstly, I'd recommend a cold reboot of your system before attempting to do anything, since you are getting permission errors on trying to delete the RoL directory. After that, you should be able to uninstall Rise of Legends by using the Control Panel. If it doesn't exist in Control Panel, nuke the directory itself and anything in My Documents>My Games> that relates to Rise of Legends.
You'll want to be sure that you also have no trace of either Demo or Beta versions of the old Rise of Legends on your machine before attempting to install the retail version. If you do, make sure to uninstall them and you -must- reboot afterwards. With a clean system, you should be able to install from the retail discs and play the game just fine. Hope this helps!
During the demo, I had some visual problem with the terrain.....I couldn't get rid of it. However, once I downloaded the CUotl mod for the demo, the problem mysteriously went away....although every now and then, I'd start the game with the texture error, but it'd correct itself a second or so later.
In the retail version, I have the same issue, but like the demo, it goes away at the start. I heard that something about the mod I downloaded fixed the texture error and I'm scared that removing it will return me to the weird texture land of RoL :P.
The game ran fine until just a couple days ago- are you sure the demo's the problem?
Anyway, I managed to erase the directories I installed RoL in the manual way, so now I'll try to reinstall .
Poop, I bet this thing isn't going to get fixed before the forum party . And since I've had the game for weeks (over a month now isnt it?), it's too late to get a refund......ARGH!
If none of these solutions work, run a DirectX Diagnostic by typing "dxdiag" in the Windows run box then click Save All Information at the bottom. Send in the dxdiag.txt file it generates to your desktop to info@bighugegames.com and we'll take it further.

Believe what!! Pentax to launch 4 film cameras!! True or fake??

If that's true dunno what to say, those would be the most advanced film cameras ever made and they will stay up to date for years to come... Nobody but Pentax would launch new pro film bodies and surely they won't be in a hurry to launch new models...
With the mirrorless option gone they have to fill the remaining niches. It is, however, interesting that they think there is still money to be made with film SLRs. After all, the used market is full of film SLRs looking for a new owner

It's difficult to see whether there is a profitable market for SLRs, let alone a range of SLRs .... used existing Pentax AF lenses are mostly dated by current ML standards, but more than adequate for modern films and new lenses are where the money is.
What happened to their medium format cameras from which we hear nothing new .....
The only positive for them is used SLRs are becoming difficult to find spares for !
Dave's clichés
Vinyl is back in vogue. Why not film?
A mirrorless film camera... Now that would have been interesting!........
Right?....

Searchers don't lose hope of finding signs of missing women in North Okanagan-Shuswap
All it takes is a little different angle, different light, to spot evidence
Martha Wickett
Aug. 1, 2020 6:30 a.m.
They are gone but never forgotten.
Although time is passing, the four women who went missing in the Shuswap three to four years ago have not been forgotten nor have the efforts to find them been abandoned.
Drone pilot Dennis Chin, a volunteer with search organization Wings of Mercy, came to the Shuswap early in July with the missing women on his mind.
Five women went missing in the North Okanagan-Shuswap between the spring of 2016 and the fall of 2017.
The remains of one young woman, 18-year-old Traci Genereaux, were found by police in October 2017 on a farm in Silver Creek. No charges have been laid in connection with her death.
Still missing are Caitlin Potts, 27, last seen in February 2016 in Kelowna and Enderby; Ashley Simpson, 31, last seen in April 2016 on Yankee Flats Road southwest of Salmon Arm; Deanna Wertz, 46, last seen in July 2016 also on Yankee Flats Road; and Nicole Bell, then 32, who lived in Malakwa and was last seen in September 2017.

Chin has much experience co-ordinating ground searches. He has a full-time job, but volunteers with Wings of Mercy, which carries out searches throughout North America via a network of volunteers.
The organization describes itself as a continually growing not-for-profit which uses cutting-edge software, drone technology, all-terrain vehicles, divers, ROVs (remotely operated vehicles or underwater robots), dogs, trackers and other resources to help find missing people.
Chin, who grew up in Kamloops, came from Alberta in early July of this year and first spent four days with the family and friends of Ryan Shtuka, helping in the search effort for the 20-year-old young man who went missing at Sun Peaks ski resort in February 2018.
His plans were to then join two seasoned Shuswap searchers to check out areas to be searched for the missing women – particularly during this visit, Caitlin Potts and Ashley Simpson, he said. However, the weather had other plans, and the pilots were unable to follow through because of heavy rains.
Chin said it was to be a reconnaissance mission, a chance to check out the terrain, see what had been searched, where ground searches are needed. It was to help prepare for searches in the fall, when foliage is thinner.
"In all cases, without specific evidence of any other sort, where do you choose to search?"
He said the four Shuswap women are all active cases for Wings of Mercy.
Because of their proximity to each other, "we search for them all at the same time."

Chin said Wings of Mercy and the drones provide another way to search. It's not always easy, despite people's general eagerness to help, to come up with 100 ground searchers, he explains. Not to mention, terrain is not always safe.
He said while clothing eventually decomposes, if you go up in the mountains you can still see things people have thrown away such as plastic, some dating back to 1960.
He pointed out that in another province, the bones of a girl who went missing 10 or 12 years ago were recently found.
Chin said every searcher is told that although people might have walked a spot before, it just takes one person with perfect timing in terms of the daylight, that something might be visible which wasn't before.
"All it takes is that one shot, one person."
Asked how he maintains hope, Chin said although he loves being out in the bush, it's difficult.
"It's tough because every morning you wake up and say, is today the day?
"Every time you get off your quad, you wonder, can you find them? Then you're sad because you didn't.
"But you don't stop, you can't stop. You know the families, you share their suffering. You want to give them closure."
Chin will return to the Shuswap in the fall to try to provide that closure.

This is a different universe with advanced technology built on something that looks like magic. Some people have the ability to see and manipulate invisible entities or particles called pions much like magic. They use it for everything we use technology for. It is hinted in the novel that they have used technology at some time in their history but it got replaced when the pions were discovered.
There is a problem though, using pions also create a waste substance called debris (thus the name of the book) and the lowest of the low in society are the debris collectors.
This is the tale of Tanyana, a successful and powerful pion-binder architect who survives a pion related accident that robs her of her powers and she has to start life as a debris collector. She is convinced someone did this to her and her quest to find out who uncovers truths she never imagined.
This fall from high above to the underside of society reveals how unjust her society is and Tanyana takes a good look at herself and those around her. Things are not made simpler by two love interests she has to deal with in the story, one from high society and one from below.
One thing i found had a lot of symbolism in was the way the government trapped her in a special suit for her to become a debris collector. The suit was rather cool in many ways but it was still trapping her and sat her aside in society.
I am a character person and this book has some good characters maybe of the more typical kind but I enjoyed them. Tanyana's interaction with the collector team was a great part of my enjoyment with the story, they have some great characters there.
There is an overall mystery about the history of the world and the nature of pions and Tanyana's flair with them I am sure we will learn more about as the series progresses.
This is mostly fantasy but I am not sure if this is just fantasy, it could as well be science fiction so fans of both can enjoy this book.
Jo Anderton pleases me well with her first novel. I would gladly read more by her. Fortunately Debris is the first in a series. I look forward to the next installment.
Tanyana is among the highest ranking in her far-future society a skilled pionner, able to use a mixture of ritual and innate talent to manipulate the particles that hold all matter together. But an accident brings her life crashing down around her ears. She is cast down amongst the lowest of the low, little more than a garbage collector. But who did this to her, and for what sinister purpose? Her quest to find out will take her to parts of the city she never knew existed, and open the door to a world she could never have imagined.


The UVM men's hockey team hoping to clinch home ice for the Hockey East opening round, while the UVM women open playoff series at Boston College.
It's simple: If the University of Vermont men's hockey team wins its final two regular-season games, the Catamounts will enjoy all the advantages of playing at home in the opening round of the Hockey East tournament.
And now the Catamounts must win at least one of the BU games since Massachusetts leapfrogged UVM in the standings Thursday night with a dramatic 3-2 victory at Connecticut. UMass has a one-point edge over Vermont and has one game remaining at home against Providence on Saturday.
While the UVM men have yet to learn the where and the who of their postseason, the Catamount women know all the details of their Hockey East tournament plans. They will spend the weekend trying to upend No. 1 Boston College in a best-of-3 quarterfinal series.
Mathematically, that's where the Vermont men could finish in the HEA regular-season standings, anywhere from seventh to 11th. The extremes of that range are unlikely because each would require No. 11 Merrimack to sweep No. 7 UMass-Lowell.
Vermont currently sits ninth with 17 points. No. 8 Massachusetts has 18 and No. 10 New Hampshire sits ninth with 15. In the head-to-head tiebreakers, UMass has the advantage on Vermont and UVM has the edge on UNH.
The Minutemen gave up the game-tying goal with 1:20 left in regulation Thursday but retaliated only 12 seconds later to beat the Huskies and push the Catamounts into their precarious position.
With the UMass win Thursday, Vermont needs at least one win over BU plus a Providence win at Massachusetts on Saturday. One UVM win will also eliminate any chance UNH or Merrimack can move ahead of the Catamounts.
Boston University (15-13-4, 11-8-3), like Vermont (9-17-5, 6-11-5), had a recent nine-game (7-0-2) undefeated streak. The Terriers then lost two before a 3-1 over Merrimack.
"Certainly it's a team that had some bumps in the road the first half. A lot of that can be attributed to youth, a lot of freshmen and sophomores," Sneddon said. "They're a very talented group but you can't buy that experience and those guys now have half-a-year and more. They're not playing like freshmen or sophomores.
The Terriers could be bolstered by the return of U.S. Olympian Jordan Greenway (9-16-25) to go with Bobo Carpenter (18-12-30) and Shane Bowers (16-10-26).
The Catamounts' unbeaten streak (5-0-2) ended with two losses to Northeastern. Though they played pretty well in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss, they were lackluster in the 4-1 Saturday defeat.
Sneddon said he thought Friday's loss, in which UVM rallied from a 3-1 third-period deficit, might have sapped the Catamounts' physical and mental energy for the Saturday game.
"We just didn't seem like we had the same jump in our legs and in our minds and in our skills," he said.
Vermont is "100 percent" healthy for the series, Sneddon said.
In the 2017 Hockey East semifinals, the Catamounts pushed the heavily favored BC Eagles into double overtime before losing 4-3.
Boston College also won both games this year, 3-2 in overtime and 2-1, in mid-January.
So it's not out of the realm of possibility that Vermont can beat the Eagles; doing it the necessary two times in the best-of-3 quarterfinal series will be much tougher.
Plumer said playing BC in mid-January rather than first semester means that how UVM must play tactically is still fresh in the players' minds.
"The biggest thing that we have to do is score," he said of his occasionally goal-challenge team. "You can't win if you don't score.
"We know BC will get chances and more than likely will score one or two. The key thing for us is to put some pucks in the net and get some confidence about our ability to play offense," Plumer said.
Sophomore goalie Sydney Scobee (2.48; .927) will need another great series against BC. She had games of 36 and 41 saves in the regular season series. Eve-Audrey Picard (14-10-24) is the only Catamount in double figures for goals scored.
Boston College (28-3-3, 19-2-3 HEA) has freshman phenom Daryl Watts (40-39-79), Caitrin Lonergan (29-41-70) and Makenna Newkirk (20-35-55) powering the offense. Katie Burt (1.97, .931) has played every minute in goal.
The games are at 2 p.m. Friday and Saturday and, if necessary, 2 p.m. Sunday.


← What would your animals choose?
Words and thoughts are powerful things. They have an energy all their own and can create what shows up in our lives. I know this to my core. Over and over again I have seen this demonstrated in my life. I shift my thoughts, my attitude and my life shifts. Good things happen, life is good. It affects our animals too…more on that in a bit.
Being human I can forget this and recently did. With the lightning taking out the computer and printer, then the website server crashing taking out my email as well it has been a bit stressful. I have looked at this knowing there is a reason, knowing it will be revealed. And yet, after a while, when it was taking weeks instead of days to be resolved, when more wrenches got thrown into the mix, my attitude, my thoughts and my words began to shift. What is going on? Is this never going to end? Am I not supposed to put out this meditation? Is my life possessed by demons? Not the kind of thoughts to create a good reality. The more I focused on what was wrong, the more "wrong" was created. And I KNOW BETTER. I know how powerful these thoughts and words are and yet, I continued. Until this morning. As I sunk into a real hole, I asked God/Source please help me understand. And she did. In my email inbox was a ezine from Christine Kane, a singer/songwriter and amazing life/business coach. She reminded me how powerful my thoughts and words are. And as soon as I shifted my thoughts, an email came solving the last technical issue.
Now lets talk about your animals. Are they affected by your thoughts? Yes. Not only are they affected by your thoughts and your energy, but they pick up on the images in your mind. Your expectations of their behavior, health and happiness affect them. And it is an easy thing to change.
In my animal communication classes I teach about the power of your thoughts and mind pictures. I use this example. A client has a dog who has been poohing on the floor in the house. She tells me, "I'm driving home and I just know that when I walk in the door there will be pooh there." "I can see it on the floor." Well guess what? While she is driving home, her dog is tuned into her (they are telepathic you know) and he sees a picture of pooh on the floor from her mind. And so he delivers. He doesn't quite get that she doesn't want that picture, only that she has it. And then when she is upset or yells, he is confused. When she changes her thoughts about it, the behavior changes. Of course it's important to find out what else might be contributing to the behavior such as emotional or physical issues but the thoughts are incredibly powerful.
We can also exacerbate situations by focusing intently on them. If we only see the unwanted behavior and don't notice the good behavior, we end up inadvertently creating more bad behavior. The more we label our animals and see them a certain way, the more they show up that way. What labels are you using? "My cat is a maniac"; "My dog never listens to me"; "I can't stop her from ……". Starting today, label them in good ways. See the best in them and use your thoughts to help them live a happy, healthy life. It really is possible.
And while you are at it, change the thoughts about your own self and life. Put the stick down and embrace the beauty of who you are. You are unique to this world and no other person has the special gifts you do.
4 Responses to What words are you choosing?
wonderful blog. especially words and thoughts. I constantly need reminding.
Hi Wendy, thank you for reminding us about the power of thoughts and words.I have not been very good in this the last few days as I came across a starving kitten out side a resturant a few miles away from where I live.I knew I had to do something,as I put the word out a lady in that area came forth and she traps stray cats. So within a day she got the mother and one of the kittens and is trying to get the last one, they are older weaned kittens. Now I just have to turn my thoughts around to being posative that I can find homes for them once they have been fixed at the vets.And tamed a bit. Seeing it in my mind handing them over to some kind person who wants them. Thoughts are very powerfull indeed.
Jane, how wonderful that you are helping out these kittens. The pictures in your mind handing them over are perfect!
you recently did a session with our cats Charlie and Gerry (aka the cool dude). Well, it made a big difference in a number of ways. They both would wake us up REALLY early in the morning. After the last session with you, they settled down a bit. But then we started feeding them an enzyme/mineral/vitamin supplement and all hell broke loose! Charlie, our older 14-year old cat has turned into a kitten and I am seriously sleep-deprived. His favorite play-hours are 2am-5:30am – every morning! So yesterday, as they both sat on the couch on their favorite blanket, chilling and cleaning, we had a short conversation about allowing us to sleep through the night. I pictured myself sleeping deeply and curled up in my blankets. I also told him (and pictured it in my head) that he was playing downstairs and guess what? I had a night of uninterrupted sleep.
My horses remind me of this too. If I picture in my mind of what I want, I have a much better chance of getting it. If I anticipate them acting up, it usually happens. And most of the time they look at me like: but I thought that's what you wanted! So yes, I wholeheartedly agree with you.They have an amazing sense of what we are thinking. Thanks for sharing!

Immortal? Or Lucky? Unbelievable Car Crashes People Walked Away From
Heather Hanks
Some drivers have all the luck, while others well... don't. These unbelievable car crashes are so severe that emergency crews and witnesses have no idea how anyone survived. In fact, most of the victims in the following crashes reportedly walked away with non-life threatening injuries. The causes of these crashes vary from drinking, falling asleep at the wheel, to torrential rains and even a drag racing incident that caused a car to collide with a truck around one hundred miles per hour! Indeed, these survivors are lucky to have their lives.
Tesla Model S Destroyed In Germany
In Pullach, Germany, an eighteen-year-old woman was reportedly driving recklessly when she lost control of her father's Telsa Model S. The car flew eighty-two feet in the air and rolled at least once after crashing in a field. All five passengers of the vehicle were able to exit the car without the help of emergency responders.

WSU College Republicans demonstrate in support of Donald Trump on October 19, 2016.
Hundreds of WSU students, community members and faculty at WSU have called for expulsion or denouncement of James Allsup, former president of the WSU College Republicans, following his participation in a white supremacist rally at the University of Virginia on Saturday.
Some WSU students have the goal of removing Allsup from WSU, creating a petition to expel him which has collected approximately 4,300 signatures. Other methods students have used include crowdsourcing screenshots of his social media posts, expressing their concerns to the Office of Equal Opportunity and calling out university leaders on social media.
Andrea Chavez, a senior psychology and human development major, said she has spent hours compiling videos of Allsup's activities and has reached out for help to a Facebook group she is a member of, Unity @ WSU/SPLC on Campus.
Chavez, a formerly undocumented student who attained citizenship, said some of Allsup's actions that she has seen, such as dressing up as a border patrol agent and organizing the Trump wall, cross the line into harassment of minority students.
The university has declined to comment beyond statements already released by WSU President Kirk Schulz.
University leadership has circulated a document of talking points to WSU faculty and staff, instructing them on how to respond to media requests and concerned calls from alumni, friends or the general public.
The document reiterates Schulz's statements and instructs faculty to direct attention to the university's campus climate initiative, a plan created after a video ridiculing three black students surfaced in May.
The video featured heavily edited clips of Allsup arguing with female Black Student Union members during last fall's Trump wall demonstration, mixed in with clips of African children dancing and captions such as, "go back to Africa." Allsup said he was not involved with the video, which was posted on a Facebook meme page he had no prior association with.
Faculty were also encouraged to emphasize that universities are free speech laboratories and that safety and free expression are not mutually-exclusive concepts.
In an earlier interview with the Evergreen, Allsup said he would be insulted if Schulz or the university denounced or tried to punish him for his participation in the Unite the Right rally.
"The university should not be in the business of disavowing what their students do, what their tuition-paying students do in their professional careers," Allsup said.
Beth Hindman, WSU media law professor and free speech expert, said as a public university, WSU is obligated to uphold the First Amendment, unlike private universities, and cannot take action against Allsup for his political views, though harassment and violence are not protected.
Hindman encouraged students to address Allsup's free speech in Charlottesville and at WSU with their own free speech.
Another critic of the College Republican's radicalization is former club president Hayley Hohman, who graduated in May 2016.
She wrote a letter to the editor that ran in The Daily Evergreen in the April 19, 2016 edition. In that letter, she criticized the tactics of the club and the direction of the Republican Party at large, adding that moderates must speak up before the party is taken over by close-minded radicals.
Since that letter, Hohman said her stance on both the club and the national party has not changed.
Hohman said while she was in charge, the club was focused on state legislative efforts, specifically, reducing tuition. From what she's seen over social media and through concerned messages from friends, those efforts have not continued.
She said the group's protests and social media stunts have only alienated people, and that Allsup's personal social media, specifically his Facebook posts, are particularly damaging to the group's mission.
One post she remembers as particularly offensive: "If women want to be happy, they should spend less time pursuing their masters' degrees and more time finding husbands." She said this is an example of what she sees as one of her biggest issues with the current direction of the club.
Hohman said she believes both the College Republicans and politicians on the national stage's recent activities have only inflamed tensions and alienated groups of people. She said if students who are passionate about politics get involved in the College Republicans and work to change it for the better, there is hope for the group.

The solar streetlights installed by the Margao Municipal Council (MMC) around its building have not been functioning for the last one year. Even while the city was celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights, and more recently, the famed Dindi, the solar lamps failed to contribute to the illumination of the MMC square.
The Goa Energy Development Agency (GEDA) and the MMC had, in a joint project in February 2010, installed 50 lamps in the city – 12 around the municipal building and 38 in the municipal garden. The cost of the project was shared equally by the MMC and the GEDA with the former depositing 6 lakh with the latter. While the lamps installed in the garden are working fine, the 12 lamps around the municipality garden are not in order.
Sources in the MMC said that the lamps were procured from three different companies which were expected to carry out regular maintenance for a period of five years. "The solar lamps began malfunctioning in less than six months of their erection," an MMC official said.
MMC chief officer Srinet Kothwale said that the fault in the lamps appears to be drained batteries. "The batteries need to be recharged. We have already brought this to the notice of the GEDA," Kothwale had told TOI two weeks ago. Member secretary of the GEDA Michael D'Souza, when contacted on Wednesday said that he was unaware of the issue and that he would look into it.
"So far, I have not received any communication in that regard from the MMC. If there was any arrangement with the private companies for maintenance, I will have to look it up," D'Souza said, adding that the project was taken up before he took up his posting at GEDA.
Former chairperson of the MMC Savio Coutinho, during whose tenure the solar streetlights project was undertaken, said: "I had taken the initiative for the project for the primary reason that such a venture by the MMC would boost the government's efforts in promoting renewable energy. If authorities are unable to ensure the maintenance of a few lamps, how will the public be encouraged to go in for solar energy systems? I am of the view that solar lighting systems should be installed in all government offices as it will at least save a lot of wastage of electricity." [TOI]

A thought that's always made me wary of writing is the fear of coming of as pretentious. What separates a snob from a "somebody"is how they assume their importance, especially when its undeserved. Yet that's what my blog is, me saying what I consider important even though I'm not especially worthy to. After all, I'm not a veteran or doctor or expert.
However, lately its becoming more apparent that everyone's voice deserves an audience, and that blogs are not only a way for me to share mine, but for others to share theirs with me. So if you do decide to stick around for more posts remember that comments are welcomed warmly and to take my writing with a grain of salt, because after all, I'm just a Dov.

HomeHead (South Korea, 2011)
Head (South Korea, 2011)
One of my favorite Korean films is Save The Green Planet (2003). More than any other, it blithely disregards generic compatibility and instead splices every conceivable idea, trope, and storyline so effectively that it becomes a veritable cornucopia of emotion. It was at times horror, torture porn, thriller, action, romance. It led with comedy and was completely ridiculous, but also enormously infectious. Head follows pretty much the same recipe, it even features Baek Yoon-shik, although this time as the torturer rather than the tortured, as he was in Save The Green Planet. Unfortunately, the elements in Head do not come together as a whole and instead are a slapdash mishmash of filmic devices, aiming far but often landing wide of the mark.
From what I can piece together, the story revolves around a messenger (Ryoo Deok-hwan) who is delivering cargo, which turns out to be the missing head of a famed scientist (Oh Dal-su) who has committed suicide. He discovers the head and is soon tracked down and apprehended by Baek Jeong (Baek Yoon-shik), but not before he manages to hide it. Baek calls the messenger's sister, an ambitious reporter stuck reporting on entertainment news, and tells her he will kill her brother unless she hands over the head. To relay any more information would be pointless, as I'm really not quite sure what transpired after that point.
The film's main problem is that it is extremely difficult to fathom what's going on. The main thrust of the action, simple as it is, shouldn't be difficult to follow, but alas, it is mired by a backstory that is indulgently complicated and not nearly explained well enough. At certain points the plot begins to focus before breaking off into new threads and barreling sideways through them. It is only near the third act when the film starts to take shape. There are still massive holes in the story but at least it's made clear by this point that the plot is a mere front and excuse for some offbeat setpieces.
A lot of the cast will be recognizable to fans of Korean cinema. I've already mentioned Baek Yoon-sik who, aside from Save the Green Planet, has portrayed some of the industry's most memorable and odd characters such as his roles in The President's Last Bang (2005), Tazza: The High Rollers (2006), and the wrestling coach in Like a Virgin (2006). Oh Dal-su appears as two live characters and a corpse's head, but only very briefly, understandable considering that he's appeared in ten films in the last two years, including last year's Hindsight, Late Blossom, and Detective K, and 2010's Troubleshooter, Foxy Festival, and The Servant. He seems to relish in the brief time he has on screen, especially in the scene featuring both of his characters. Joo Jin-mo-I plays the corrupt detective (as he always seems to) and this is one of his six roles from last year, the others being Heartbeat, Children…, The Apprehenders, Quick, and Mr. Idol.
The reporter is played by Park Ye-jin who I haven't seen on screen since 1999's excellent Memento Mori. Unlike the seasoned veterans that populate the rest of the film, she does not show a great aptitude for comic timing and she has difficulty conveying her character's emotions effectively. Ultimately, she just doesn't seem right for the part. Playing her brother is the young Ryoo Deok-hwan, previously scene in My Little Bride (2004), Welcome to Dongmakgol (2005), Like a Virgin, and The Quiz Show Scandal (2010). He does well in his role, despite the fact that he is strapped to a chair for the majority of his on-screen time.
The filmmakers seem to be indicating that it is not imperative to follow the minutiae of the story. However, while the set pieces are each more ridiculous and outrageous than the last and do display some original thought, they lack the cohesion and technical skill necessary to successfully pull them off. On the whole, the mise-en-scene is not particularly imaginative. Strangest of all, unlike Save the Green Planet, which it tries so hard to emulate, it forgoes playing with a colourful palate, instead opting for a grey, and rather dull colour scheme.
Director Cho Un was part of the editing team behind Save the Green Planet, which makes a whole lot of sense. It is also clear that he is an editor, as a lot of tricks are used throughout, often to cover up mistakes in the production. Being involved in film production myself, I can attest to a prevalent trend among first-time directors and editors turned directors. Frequently a cinematographer, an assistant director, or sometimes even a producer will express concern over what has been shot: "Is it okay, should we do another?"; "Do we have enough coverage?"; etc. Invariably the answer is "don't worry, we'll fix it in editing." This is never a good idea, as primarily it limits your options, but can also force your hand in the editing suite if something is amiss. In Head, ellipsis, jump cuts, split-screen, and flashy transitions abound to string the incongruous elements together and to patch over what the director was not careful enough to adequately film during principal photography.
Head has its moments, including the old-folks home sequence and the delightfully macabre imagery in the mortuary (like the butcher's display case of human body parts), but it is best seen as a collection of such moments, rather than a film which aptly integrates them into an engaging story, the way Save the Green Planet did.

SEMA Young Executives Network (YEN) Announces Rebrand
YEN rebrands as the Future Leaders Network (FLN) to reflect the membership's diversity
DIAMOND BAR, Calif. (Jan 3, 2022) — The Young Executives Network (YEN), a SEMA group dedicated to cultivating talent in the automotive aftermarket, is now the Future Leaders Network (FLN). The new name more accurately reflects the network's 1,142 membership, which includes employees ranging from entry-level staff to managers, and trade workers, executives, and business owners.
"The network supports talent and individuals who are aspiring to further their careers in the automotive aftermarket. The Future Leaders Network will continue to offer programs and resources that will help members advance their careers," said FLN Chair Nick Caloroso.
Caloroso explains that the former Young Executives Network name did not accurately reflect the group's membership. "More than half of our members do not fall into the executives category, and although we will retain the age requirement, the word 'young' is relative and implies inexperience. Regardless of the individual's role, each member is aspiring to become a more effective and productive leader in the industry."
The new Future Leaders Network name puts the focus on the group's purpose and goal: Growing and supporting individuals to become successful leaders, regardless of their actual job title or position. Membership is open at no cost to all employees under the age of 40 who work for a SEMA member company.
Since 1989, the network has evolved and grown to include 1,142 members. In addition to year-round virtual and in-person mixers and gatherings, FLN hosts education sessions targeted to up-and-coming leaders. FLN also launched the Launch Pad product pitching competition to support emerging entrepreneurs and business owners. New this year, FLN teamed up with Dale Carnegie to provide members with an exclusive professional development training.
To learn more about FLN or to sign up to become a member, contact FLN Director Denise Waddingham at deniselw@sema.org.

Gloucestershire County Council news
News - February 2018
Essential improvements for Moorend Park Road, Cheltenham
Moorend Park Road is being resurfaced as part of Gloucestershire County Council's £150 million promise to upgrade the county's highways.
As part of the ongoing commitment to the county's roads, Moorend Park Road will be resurfaced from Monday 12th February, finishing on Friday 16th February 2018. The road is in need of essential resurfacing work because it has reached the end of its life expectancy.
Cllr Vernon Smith, cabinet member for highways and flood, said: "I'm happy to see this work begin. Moorend Park Road has been slowly deteriorating so these vital improvements will help make the journey smoother for commuters."
"While we know that this closure will inconvenience people, in the long term it will benefit local people so we'd like to thank them for bearing with us."
Road closures will be in place on Moorend Park Road between Shurdington Road (A46) and The Park from 12th to 16th February 2018.
Full road closure including overnight: 12th – 14th February
The road will be fully closed and no access will be available from 07:30am Monday to 5:30pm Wednesday, including overnight. A section of the road has deteriorated significantly so a deep excavation is needed before resurfacing the road, making it unsafe to open to through traffic outside our working hours.
Daytime road closure: 15th – 16th February
The road will be closed from 07:30am to 17:30pm.
Cllr Tim Harman, county councillor for Lansdown and Park, said: "I'm really pleased that we're now able to include Moorend Park Road in the new resurfacing programme. The scheme will mean residents benefit from improved driving conditions into the future, so it's excellent news for the area. I'd like to thank road users for their patience while this work is carried out."
Letters have been sent to residents along the route with details about local access arrangements.
Advance warning signs are on display and a diversion will be fully signed when work starts. Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the scheme.
Works will include kerbing, excavation of carriageway, resurfacing and road markings.
Diversion:
From the south end of Moorend Park Road, turn left onto A46 Shurdington Road, left onto A40 then left on to Park Place which runs down to The Park. Residents and drivers are asked to be patient throughout this period of disruption.


Video capture (00:03:32) of Processing sketch TWITTERSTORM that works with Twitter API to display Tweets in real-time, returning results based on preset hashtags.
The banner (projected in white, not red as seen here) was used as part of a two-part interactive installation in In The Dark exhibition, Cello factory, London, January 2019.
In the live version running in the exhibition (this video being pre-recorded 6/ 01/2019) the hashtag #cellonews displayed visitor's live Tweets in the gallery space.
Holzer began creating these works in 1977, when she was a student in an independent study program. She hand-typed numerous "one liners," or Truisms, which she has likened, partly in jest, to a "Jenny Holzer's Reader's Digestversion of Western and Eastern thought." She typeset the sentences in alphabetical order and printed them inexpensively, using commercial printing processes. She then distributed the sheets at random and pasted them up as posters around the city. Her Truisms eventually adorned a variety of formats, including T-shirts and baseball caps.
Twitterstorm will appear in future exhibitions using different permutations and is currently a work in progress.
Thanks to Tim for help with coding this work.

I love Incredible TV & movies but I love my girlfriend so very much more. She is a diabetic and is looking for a cure. Diabetes can damage the body's organs and can kill. A human body needs to utilize properly the blood sugar (glucose) to have FUEL to run normally. A diabetic's body does not do that and needs insulin injections or pills to properly utilize the blood sugar. This can be very hard on the body. A diabetic controls the problem by monitoring his or her blood sugar levels several times a day and eating the right food and the right amount to cover the insulin they take. - DIABETES RESEARCH WELLNESS FOUNDATION - AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION - If you can, please donate so a CURE can be found.

Thirteen songs with lyrics about house pets with a jazz edge. Written for children but enjoyed by adults, too.
"My Pet Project" features playful stories about all kinds of house pets, from the ordinary to the unusual. You will hear about someone who chooses the thrill of the incredible ant teamwork over the normal old gerbil. Then comes a fantasy about a funny but laid-back cat out to get a very innocent prey. Next, a fish and a rat who want to be friends work to find an eventual solution. A psychic visits a lizard and a very difficult choice faces its owner. A pet snake runs away, but clues remain revealing she is just fine somewhere in the house. Then, a playful, mischievous and fluffy dog has a ball playing at the park. Next, a happy blues about how awesome a turtle can be. A crazy and wonderful gerbil spins and spins on his wheel day and night. And a beautiful but slightly vain kitty tells us all about herself and her exciting life. A little bird dreams of being outside but is also happy to play with her "human" friend. A very sad tarantula is more emotional than we thought a spider could be. Then, a love song for a little, white dog who sleeps in a ball at the foot of the bed. And the lullaby of a silvery, shimmering goldfish who glides through the water finishes the album in time for bed.
The music is catchy, intelligent and humorous. Songs feature male and female vocals, trumpet, tenor and alto saxophones, flute, clarinet, guitar, piano, bass and drums. You and your kids will not get tired of playing this CD over and over again. If you love animals and great music, "My Pet Project" is for you!

JERUSALEM - Israeli warplanes attacked militant targets in the southern Gaza Strip early Friday in response to a rare rocket attack on the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, as the sides appeared to be hurtling toward a new round of violence.
The rocket attack Thursday night caught the Israeli military off guard and marked the first time that Tel Aviv, some 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of Gaza, has been targeted since a 2014 war.

Though the attack caused no damage or injuries, it was a significant escalation and set the stage for a tough Israeli reprisal.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called an emergency meeting with his military chief and other top security officials. Shortly after, Israeli warplanes attacked targets in southern and central Gaza.
The blasts were so powerful that smoke could be seen in Gaza City, 25 kilometers (15 miles) away from some of the strikes. The Israeli warplanes could be heard roaring through the skies above Gaza City.
The Israeli military said it was targeting "terror sites" in Gaza, but gave no further details. Palestinian media said naval bases belonging to the ruling Hamas group had been struck. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Minutes later, the Israeli military reported air raid sirens in southern Israel. It said it had identified a launch attempt out of Gaza, but the rocket misfired and landed inside Palestinian territory.
Israel and Hamas are bitter enemies and have fought three wars since the Islamic militant group seized power in Gaza in 2007. Smaller flare-ups have occurred sporadically since Israel and Hamas fought their last war, in 2014.
The sudden outburst of fighting comes at a sensitive time for both sides. Israel is holding national elections in less than a month. Netanyahu is locked in a tight fight for re-election and could face heavy criticism from his opponents if he is seen as ineffective against the militants.
Cabinet Minister Naftali Bennett, a hardline rival of Netanyahu's, called on the prime minister to convene a gathering of his Security Cabinet and demand the army "present a plan to defeat Hamas."
Likewise, Hamas has come under rare public criticism in Gaza for the harsh conditions in the territory. An Israel-Egyptian blockade, combined with sanctions by the rival Palestinian Authority and mismanagement by the Hamas government, have fueled an economic crisis in the territory. Residents have little desire for another war with Israel.
Earlier Thursday, Hamas police violently broke up a small protest over the harsh living conditions.
Brig. Gen. Ronen Manelis, the chief Israeli military spokesman, said the army had been caught off guard by Thursday night's rocket barrage. He said officials were still trying to determine who had fired the rocket.
Israel holds Hamas responsible for all fire coming out of the territory. Hamas possesses a large arsenal of rockets and missiles capable of striking deep inside Israel.
But with Gaza's economy in tatters, the group has been seeking to preserve calm.
Hamas denied responsibility for the attack on Tel Aviv, saying the rockets were launched when the group's military wing was meeting with Egyptian mediators to try to strengthen a cease-fire with Israel.
In an unusual step that indicated Hamas was attempting to prevent further escalation, the Hamas Interior Ministry said the rocket fire went "against the national consensus" and promised to take action against the perpetrators.
Islamic Jihad, an Iranian-backed militant group that also has a large rocket arsenal, also denied firing the rockets. Smaller factions inspired by the Islamic State group also sometimes fire rockets, though it is unclear whether they possess projectiles capable of reaching Tel Aviv.
Earlier this week, Israel struck Hamas targets in Gaza in response to rocket fire on southern Israel, near the border. Late Thursday, local media said that Egyptian mediators left the territory.
At the time, Netanyahu issued a warning to Hamas, rejecting suggestions that Israel would be reluctant to take tough action in Gaza ahead of national elections next month.
"I suggest to Hamas, don't count on it," he told his Cabinet. "We will do anything necessary to restore security and quiet to the area adjacent to the Gaza Strip and to the south in general."

RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture in the West Bank launched July 2 the Resilient Land and Resources Management Project, which is one of its largest. The $41.5 million project is funded by the Palestinian government, in coordination with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the OPEC Fund for International Development.
The project is among the most important for developing agriculture in the Palestinian territories, and it will take six years of work. It aims to raise the levels of agricultural economic growth in the territories, specifically in urban areas, by increasing the area of planted lands and agricultural production, consequently boosting the financial profit.
The director general of the project, Ammar Salahat, told Al-Monitor that as soon as the plan was launched, the Ministry of Agriculture held an intensive workshop July 5 for its staff to form a project management unit made up of involved governorates and departments to distribute tasks and powers.
Minister of Agriculture Sufian Sultan said during the inauguration, attended by Al-Monitor, that the project is in alignment with the impact study of the Natural Resource Management Program funded by IFAD and also "complies with the national strategy of the agricultural sector for the years 2017 to 2022 and with the national political agenda and its priorities during the same period."
The Natural Resource Management Program was carried out between 1998 and 2014. The $28 million program aimed to reclaim agricultural lands and improve their quality, as well as to improve crop production and seek more efficient water use.
Sultan said the project will be implemented in all governorates of the West Bank and will focus on six out of 11 of these governorates, namely: Jenin, Tubas, Tulkarm, Bethlehem, Hebron and Nablus. It will aim at "integrating weaker groups like small-scale farmers, the poor, cattlemen and unemployed men and women as well as families that have limited opportunities to reach agricultural lands. Around 30,000 families are expected to benefit from the activities of the project."
According to the project plan, 18,000 dunams of agricultural land will be developed and reclaimed using activities and techniques that take climate changes into account. To help serve and reclaim this land, 100 kilometers (62 miles) of agricultural roads will be built or improved. A unit to manage the project was formed, and the project will be launched simultaneously in the governorates.
Sultan said the project "will support women and allow them to manage their lands. It will also generate 900 profitable agricultural projects available for young men and women. Ten stations will be established [in certain areas across the West Bank] to accumulate the agricultural products from small-scale farmers and market them. The aim is to address the low productivity and the limited commercial prospects of small-scale farmers and provide these stations with necessary tools and material."
In addition to the financial support, the project will focus on developing the knowledge and skills of farmers. Sultan said, "Palestinian farmers benefiting from the project will receive training sessions to take effective measures to protect their crops and animals from diseases related to climate change."
He added, "The project will contribute to enhancing food security in targeted governorates by increasing food production, improving affordability of staple foods, and boosting the income of the poor in rural areas as a result of increasing production and good marketing. It will also help farmers and rural families adapt to new conditions by providing climate information at the right time and offering the needed training for adaptation."
Salahat said the project will address several problems farmers are facing, such as having difficulty reaching their lands and increasing production. He indicated that the project will help resolve land issues through reclamation and the creation of roads and mitigate other problems involving water, the of marketing agricultural products and climate change.
He said, "The project will focus on three aspects: developing lands and using healthy and affordable practices to protect the environment; connecting farmers whose lands will be reclaimed to the market by establishing stations to gather production, especially as they are small-scale farmers with limited production; and, finally, offering men and women profitable agricultural projects of their choice."
Salahat said land reclamation focuses on increasing production through land gradation, increasing its fertility or providing the water harvesting technique. Lands that will be reclaimed are to be planted with fruitful trees, with the idea that production, sales and profits will increase.
He said, "The reclamation will include the agricultural land to be planted with fruit trees such as almonds of all kinds and olives, in addition to the rehabilitation of pastures for livestock in the eastern slopes of the West Bank, which will be reclaimed and protected, with the support of livestock breeders."
The land reclamation process will start after the completion of roads for these lands. The project management committee made up of employees of the Ministry of Agriculture will launch the reclamation process.
The project also aims at conserving land close to the water valleys, which face erosion in the rainy season. Salahat confirmed that land will also be developed around the water treatment stations in Jenin, Hebron and Nablus.
He said that treated water will be used to grow crops and that farmers would be trained to "establish irrigation networks from stations to land and cultivate trees that grow on wastewater."
IFAD Middle East and North Africa Director Khalida Bouzar said during the launching of the project that "it will protect farmers from climate change and will increase their income and resilience. It will also develop their lands through eco-friendly practices and through connecting poor farmers to the market. This would boost the rural economy."
She said IFAD's funding is part of its vision to develop its partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, and she set forth her intention to enter into partnerships with the Environment Quality Authority, nongovernmental organizations and the Ministry of Social Development to boost the capabilities of Palestinian organizations.
Despite the multiple agricultural projects in the West Bank, this particular one is considered the most important because of the high hopes that it will be the best positioned to improve the situation and boost the income of small-scale farmers and engage other men and women in rural agricultural production.

Home / Composers / Colin Mawby
Colin Mawby
from The Telegraph:
Colin Mawby, who died aged 83, was a conductor, composer and organist known for his love of polyphony, his engaging personality and his enthusiasm for choral singing; he played for the Queen at St Paul's Cathedral, President Kennedy at Westminster Cathedral and two popes at St Peter's in Rome.
From 1961 Mawby was master of music at Westminster Cathedral, where he tried in vain to resist the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council, regarding them as leaving Catholic music "in an unsatisfactory state".
He also faced a constant battle for funding: while the boys' choir was financed by the diocese of Westminster and by school fees, the men's choir was financed by the cathedral, which struggled to meet their modest honorariums.
Despite such issues absorbing his time, Mawby continued to lead his choristers in the daily offices of the Church with professionalism while championing composers such as Lennox Berkeley, the premiere of whose Five Part Mass, commissioned by Cardinal Heenan, he directed in 1964.
Mawby's tenure ended after 14 years in a dispute about musical policy and the future of the cathedral choir school that was aggravated by personality conflicts. Matters came to a head shortly after Cardinal Heenan's Requiem in 1975, after which Mawby was asked not to carry out his duties in the cathedral, although he was involved in Cardinal Hume's installation in 1976. In 1979 he was succeeded by Stephen Cleobury, who died two days before him.
Mawby became a central figure to choral music in Ireland, starting the RTÉ Philharmonic Choir and Cór na nÓg, the broadcaster's children's choir, and developing the RTÉ Chamber Choir.
Colin John Beverley Mawby was born in Portsmouth on May 9 1936, the son of Bernard Mawby, a Roman Catholic convert, and his wife Enid (née Vaux). He was educated at St Swithun's Primary School, Portsmouth, but his mother's death when he was three, and the Luftwaffe's blitz of the city, made him an unruly child.
Although a conventional boarding school was beyond his father's means, young Colin had perfect pitch and was one of the first choristers when Cardinal Griffin reopened Westminster Cathedral choir school in January 1946. He sang for 14 services a week in repertoire that was largely plainchant and polyphony, recalling how by the age of 12 he was "very fortunate" to be assisting George Malcolm, the master of music, in the organ loft.
Thanks to Malcolm's contacts Mawby entered the Royal College of Music at the early age of 15. He was choirmaster at a couple of London churches and at Plymouth Cathedral before returning at 23 to Westminster Cathedral as assistant to Francis Cameron, Malcolm's successor. Cameron left after two years, whereupon Mawby became master of music.
After parting company with the cathedral Mawby, who also taught at Trinity College and directed an amateur choir, re-emerged in 1978 at Sacred Heart Church, Wimbledon, his last church appointment. Around that time he wrote an article articulating how the church's liturgical changes had caused so much anguish.
"We have seen many extraordinary advances since Vatican II, but also the destruction of much that was good," he wrote, urging fellow Catholics to "see what of the old can be incorporated into the new".
Meanwhile, a nun in the amateur choir drew his attention to an advert for the post of choral director at RTÉ in Dublin. Despite no previous connection with Ireland he settled happily there. Matters were eventually smoothed over at Westminster Cathedral and his return visits were well received.
It was not until he was 52, soon after the birth of his first son, that Mawby took up composition seriously: "I remember going into his bedroom and looking at his crib and thinking to myself, 'I have to support this baby and I have to get him through university, I have to educate and clothe him. How am I going to do this?' I thought, 'The only thing I can do is compose.' So I decided to sit down and seriously work at composition."
His output was prolific, including masses, motets and hymn tunes, as well as two secular operas for young people. "Religious belief is fundamental to my work," he said. "Without faith I couldn't compose."
In 2006 he conducted his 70th birthday concert in Ireland, expressing delight at having no responsibility for its planning. "All I do is wave my arms," he said. "I don't have to organise anything, it's all done for me … why didn't I think of this years ago?" From 1994 to 2017 he published Vivace!, a newsletter for church choirs. Mawby, was awarded a papal knighthood in 2006.

Chris's Complete Set
Chris Savage has jumped straight into the smart electric future; he purchased the complete set of technologies offered by Joju Solar in one go. His home now features a solar PV roof, Tesla Powerwall 2 battery storage, an electric vehicle charging point, and an Immersun device to divert any excess solar electricity into hot water heating.
Driven by his electric car
Chris's reasons for getting solar and battery storage shows how complementary these technologies are. Whilst we have seen people with PV roofs going on to get and electric car, for Chris it was the other way round. "I'm fundamentally green, but it was getting an electric car that pushed me into finally doing this. I'd been thinking about solar for some years, but it was the idea that it could help charge my car that was most appealing." Seeing an episode of Fully Charged about the Tesla Powerwall also prompted Chris to incorporate storage into his home energy upgrade.
The design challenge
Integrating so many components can be complex, so ensuring all aspects work well together is critical. The system is designed so that the solar produces electricity in the day, which is used or stored in the battery. The battery discharges in the evening and night-time into lights and appliances in the house, and trickle charges the car. Chris has a plug-in hybrid Mercedes, which has a comparatively small battery capacity of 6.5kWh, so it's not a drain on the battery. Chris has got involved too: "I fiddled with the charging profile on the electric car, so it doesn't exceed the output capacity of Powerwall". On the best days in summer, Chris's PV system will generate more electricity than even the Powerwall 2 can take, so here any excess electricity is diverted into the hot water tank, using the Immersun, rather than being fed back to the grid.
Turning carbon into a game
"It does give you a fuzzy glow to know you are producing your own electricity. It's very interesting and I've been rather obsessive about it! We've managed self-powered up in the high 90%'s. It's almost a game trying to minimise grid electricity – a bit like driving the car, when we sort of consider it a failure to use fossil fuels"

Robert Llewellyn's Home of the Future
Comic actor and TV presenter Robert Llewellyn is a passionate proponent of new energy technologies. He runs a Youtube channel, called Fully Charged, looking not just at electric vehicles, but also the way in which that electricity is generated from renewable sources. If you're not following it, we thoroughly recommend you do – it really is the best source of news about new energy technologies out there, and puts mainstream media to shame!
Why did you chose solar and storage
Robert Llewellyn has had solar PV on the roof of his house in the Cotswold for some years, but has increasingly felt he could do more. "I've had solar since 2011 and as soon as you have it, you want a battery. In theory it makes so much sense and for once in life the practice proves the point"
Robert is of course, also passionate about his electric vehicles, which also need charging at home. Our brief, therefore was to boost his solar generation, utilise a greater percentage of the solar electricity on site and use any excess to charge his cars.
The Home of the Future
We upgraded Roberts existing solar PV system of 2.5kW conventional modules to 16 high efficiency Sunpower 327 modules, totalling 5.23kW. These high efficiency modules (over 21%) have doubled the generation from his roof space.
In order to use more electricity onsite, we installed one of the first Powerwall2 battery systems in the country. This Tesla solar battery unit is much larger than conventional battery units holding an impressive 13.4kWh of energy. This greater battery capacity matches to the larger PV system – anything smaller would fill up too quickly.
The system works by using excess solar electricity to charge the Powerwall2 during the day. It discharges in the evening to loads in the house, but by midnight, we do not expect the battery to be empty. It is at this point that the Powerwall2 discharges into Robert's car batteries. The car batteries then fill any remainder with cheaper night-time tariff electricity.
This approach is perfect as the battery is completely empty the next morning ready to capture the maximum possible solar energy through the day.
It is slightly unconventional to do charge a battery (Powerwall2) and then discharge it into another battery (vehicles), and thermodynamically this might not seem sensible. It is, however, the best thing to do economically. Robert uses his free solar electricity first, then cheap night-time electricity, with any remaining (on poor days in winter) coming at standard day rates.
Early results seem very promising: "I've had the system running for 2 days and my mains electricity usage has reduced by 95%. Okay, it's summer, it's sunny, and over the year I'm sure it won't manage that, but it's obvious it will reduce our overall demand on the grid by a substantial amount and utilise far more of the power the panels produce."
We think this is a perfect exemplar of integrating solar generation, storage technologies and electric vehicle charging. It is complex, from an engineering standpoint, as we have to balance PV capacity, battery storage capacity, loads in the house and electric vehicle loads, but we look to have found an optimal solution. The home of the future is increasingly going to incorporate all these technologies operating in combination.
One happy customer
"Joju Solar have been patient and supportive throughout the install of my new solar array and Powerwall 2 battery system. They needed to be patient due to my constant faltering, budget anxiety and ridiculous schedule. They fitted the battery in a day, wired it up, stayed longer than expected to make sure it was all working, left the place spotlessly tidy and did a very fine job." – Robert Llewellyn
We've developed a free guide to Tesla's Powerwall2, so you can understand if it is the right option for you.

Commercial Battery Storage at Turners Hill School
Good things come in threes for this commercial battery storage system
Repower Balcombe is a community energy group founded as a positive response to threats of fracking in the area. The group have funded solar PV on 4 schools in the area, including this one at Turners Hill Primary which was installed by Joju in 2015. With their community benefit fund from existing sites bearing fruit, they decided to set up a battery storage project to understand this new technology better.
Commercial Battery Storage
The challenge for Joju Solar was to design and specify a battery storage system that maximises the benefits to the host school.
The school is typical of a small commercial battery storage system, which has very different characterisitcs to domestic battery systems. The electricity supply to the school is 3-phase, so we needed to install storage across all three phases. With 3-phase batteries of this scale not available in the UK as present, we installed 3 separate battery systems, each dealing with the load and generation on that phase. You can see the three individual storage units, manufactured by Sonnen, in the photos. Technically the greatest challenge related to the battery's monitoring – it needs to monitor the extent of import and export from the school and the generation from the solar PV. The PV system was some 20 meters from the battery installation so we needed to run long monitoring cables as part of the works.
The system operates under a regime where excess solar generation is captured during the day, and used to run the school in the evenings and through the night. We gathered half-hourly electricity demand data from the school, and undertook a comprehensive modelling exercise to determine the optimal battery size. In order to meet the evening and night-time demand, we settled on a storage capacity of 4kWh per phase.
The graph (left) shows that we have sized the system almost perfectly. The purple line shows the energy stored in the battery. The solar charges it up to full capacity in the morning, where it remains until early evening. Once demand is no longer met by solar, the battery discharges to meet demand on site. It's empty again just a matter of minutes before the sun comes up and starts charging it again! Electricity imported from the grid, shown in pale blue is virtually non-existent; the school is running on its own solar generated electricity.
The installation and the stats
The installation took place at Turners Hill School in Turners Hill village in Sussex. Joju Solar installed 3 x Sonnen Eco 8 4kWh batteries in just 2 days at the site.
The system is meeting the school's needs for electricity in the spring/summer/autumn months. However, it should be noted that in winter there will not be sufficient surplus electricity to charge up the batteries and the system will remain dormant at this time.
For this reason, paybacks for this battery system are long, and in excess of the battery lifetime. Repower Balcombe were able to fund this project as they already had surplus funds generated for good causes such as this (i.e. saving the school money)
However, do not despair! Our modelling shows that there are other ways of operating commercial battery storage systems in commercial premises that does give paybacks shorter than the battery lifetime, especially with the good economics of the Tesla Powerwall2 battery. If you'd like to see how this could work for you, then do get in touch with our batteries and smart grids team.

Glenn gets Fully Charged
Glenn Tweedie's decision to get a Tesla Powerwall and solar PV has led to both energy savings and TV fame!
When Glenn Tweedie decided to have a solar PV array and a Tesla Powerwall installed on his family home in St Albans he probably hoped and expected that it would lead to energy savings for him and his family. What Glenn didn't plan for was that the installation would lead to internet stardom and a starring role in Robert Llewelyn's internet show Fully Charged.
The episode of the show which featured Glenn and his family was filmed a few weeks after Joju installed the system, which included our first ever Tesla Powerwall installation in May 2016.
In the Fully Charged episode Glenn talks to Robert Llewellyn about the benefits the Tesla Powerwall has brought to his family and just how much it has lowered their energy consumption from the grid. Indeed, on the day of filming 97% of Glenn's Family's energy had come from energy stored in the battery and produced by the solar PV. With only 3% being drawn from the grid thanks to both the 4.5kWp solar array and the Tesla Powerwall working in perfect harmony. Thanks to the SolarEdge PV monitoring platform Glenn and his family can monitor their energy usage via a smart app on their phones and laptops, which has enabled him to show his two sons just how much energy they are wasting when they forget to turn off lights and Playstations.
Getting Fully Charged
The video demonstrates perfectly the benefits of when a solar PV array is installed in sync with a home battery storage solution. The energy savings, the improved family education on energy usage, and even the status that come with having such a complete home energy solution are all highlighted and discussed in depth in the episode.

Project ERIC
Social Housing tenants in Rose Hill reduce energy bills through the installation of solar PV.
Project ERIC (Energy Resources for Integrated Communities) is a collaborative research project part funded by the UK government (Innovate UK) to investigate how using innovative energy storage technology can help a community to save energy. Working in collaboration with Oxford City Council, GreenSquare, Bioregional and Moixa Technology. Joju were chosen as the Solar PV provider for the project. Project ERIC represents a £1.2 million investment in Rose Hill over two years.
Project ERIC's main aims were to help reduce the energy bills of low income residential tenants in the community while at the same time help generate long-term savings for the council and reduce the carbon footprint of the city. Project ERIC aims to demonstrate that 100% of Solar PV energy generated in Rose Hill can be used by the community.
Joju were proud to be a part of such an innovative and important research project that promoted community energy. We were selected as a partner and collaborator for the Project through the Buy for Good procurement framework, which recognised Joju as the highest ranked provider in the area. The City Council were also keen to select local suppliers to work on the Project.
Joju Solar led the installs of solar PV in Rose Hill alongside the council working to a very ambitious schedule in order to achieve the best possible Feed-in-Tariff. Joju were also supportive in helping the ERIC team support tenants and maximise the learnings within the project.
