This photo (and the following ones) was taken at the Election Night with NC Democratic Party event downtown Raleigh. This specific photo was taken few moments after the announcement of Obama's election.
I don't think I was ever hugged or high fived so much by complete strangers as tonight :>
And so many people were crying and laughing and jumping (including on top of my left foot :P).
After many years in the US, I can definitely say one thing: when this country needs to change, it does. And typically for the better.
Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Italy right now, where change is basically a synonym for "bad".
But it will!

controversial new(ish) gallery in my home town of Wakefield. A lot of people complained about the cost but personally I feel it is great for the city and like the architecture and the way in combines with the old industrial part of the river.

A leopard can't change his spots; and once a pump engineer, always a pump engineer. So what have we here? Well, the main subject of the picture is a Crane belt drive end-suction centrifugal pump, which is clearly a little old-fashioned as it has a tangential discharge, as opposed to the more modern (post 1970s) trend for a centre-line discharge, which gives you a self-venting volute. Suction and discharge connections are made via anti-vibration pipe couplings, such as made by Minikin & Sons.
But what is this lurking behind the belt-guard? Looks like the rotating element of a Grundfos glandless circulator. As it's been stripped out of its volute, we may probably assume that it's broken. And that cardboard box to the left may hold a controller module for the same. Modern stuff, you see - no good will come of this excessive zeal for innovation!
For comparison purposes, our local church still has the same Turney Turbine pump that was installed when we got electricity in 1959. I overhauled it around 2002, but otherwise it's still there, proving the value of traditional engineering.

Climate Corporate Governance for Financial Institutions - Building resilience to climate change risk
During the past decade, with extreme weather causing hundreds of USD billions of
losses per year and the changing climate intensifying the adverse effects of wasteful
practices, environmental considerations have overtaken economic concerns as the
main sources of global risk, according to the World Economic Forum.
Financial regulators and the European Union are responding with recommendations
and guidance on the disclosure of climate-related financial risks to help integrate
sustainability into investor portfolio management. Credit rating agencies are
developing new ways to anticipate how climate-related risks could impact businesses
and financial institutions.
But is this enough?
To assess whether the financial sector is adequately equipped, the EBRD is brought
together representatives from financial institutions to share their practical experience
of the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of climate-related risk management.
The event discuseed ways to achieve an effective investor-led climate response
via climate corporate governance, standards-based climate finance, climate risk
management, climate-related capital market products.

These are two different LCD modules which can work with my Thermometer. The first one needs the contrast resistor to be changed to work properly but the second LCD works as it is.
The red marked resistor with value 0 must be replaced with a 332 resistor (3K3).
That's because the pcb designed to ground the V contrast pin of the LCD.
I was so disappointed a few days ago when I went to Bowness Park to see if the small, (possibly hybrid) Silver Maple tree had turned red yet. We don't have the glorious reds of fall here in Calgary, but I was told about this single tree last year and managed to get a few photos of the vivid red leaves. However, this fall, almost every leaf is badly damaged, plus they had not yet reached full colour. These were about the only two leaves fit to be photographed : (
Hagia Sophia (from the Greek: Ἁγία Σοφία, "Holy Wisdom"; Latin: Sancta Sophia or Sancta Sapientia; Turkish: Aya Sofya) is a former Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. From the date of its dedication in 360 until 1453, it served as the cathedral of Constantinople, except between 1204 and 1261, when it was converted to a Roman Catholic cathedral under the Latin Patriarch of Constantinople of the Western Crusader established Latin Empire. The building was a mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1934, when it was secularized. It was opened as a museum on 1 February 1935.[1]
The Church was dedicated to the Logos, the second person of the Holy Trinity,[2] its dedication feast taking place on December 25, the anniversary of the incarnation of the Logos in Christ.[2] Although it is sometimes referred to as Sancta Sophia (as though it were named after Saint Sophia), sophia is the phonetic spelling in Latin of the Greek word for wisdom - the full name in Greek being Ναός τῆς Ἁγίας τοῦ Θεοῦ Σοφίας, "Church of the Holy Wisdom of God".[3][4]
Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture and is said to have "changed the history of architecture."[5] It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until Seville Cathedral was completed in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian and was the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site, the previous two having both been destroyed by rioters. It was designed by Isidore of Miletus, a physicist, and Anthemius of Tralles, a mathematician.[6]
The church contained a large collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 49 foot (15 m) silver iconostasis. It was the seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly one thousand years. It is the church in which Cardinal Humbert in 1054 excommunicated Michael I Cerularius - which is commonly considered the start of the Great Schism.
In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks under Sultan Mehmed II, who subsequently ordered the building converted into a mosque.[7] The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed and many of the mosaics were plastered over. Islamic features — such as the mihrab, minbar, and four minarets — were added while in the possession of the Ottomans. It remained a mosque until 1935, when it was converted into a museum by the Republic of Turkey.
For almost 500 years the principal mosque of Istanbul, Hagia Sophia served as a model for many other Ottoman mosques, such as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque of Istanbul), the Şehzade Mosque, the Süleymaniye Mosque, the Rüstem Pasha Mosque and the Kılıç Ali Paşa Mosque.
It wasn't an easy morning for her. Her sister left for her first day of school (ever). I was trying to keep a stiff upper lip, but truth is, I felt the emptiness too.
Climate Action Day observed
Drawing attention on the need to reduce carbon in the atmosphere to a scientifically determined safe level of 350 ppm, the International Day of Climate Action was observed in the country yesterday.
Different social and environmental organisations held different programmes in the city and across the country to mark the day.
With the slogan of "Change Behavior, Not Climate," Work for a Better Bangladesh (WBB Trust) organised a colourful rally from National Museum to TSC of Dhaka University with participation of a large number of children from different parts of the city.
Prottyasa Madok Birodhi Sangathan, Nirapad Development Foundation, Nature Loving People (NLP), Green Voice, Swabhumi, Safe Bangladesh, and other environmental organisations, participated the rally with banners and festoons inscribed different slogans including 'Save the balance of climate and save the environment' and 'Save the coastal people'.
The rally was addressed, among others, by Ibnul Syed Rana, chairman of Nirapad Development Foundation, Syed Saiful Alam Suvan, programme officer of WBB Trust, Humaoun Kabir Somuon, Syeda Ananya Rahman, Mohammad Alamgir and Maruf Ahmed.
The speakers said that the temperatures are rising and storms are worsening due to the whimsical behaviour of human beings. Ice is melting and sea levels are rising day by day and due to the reason Bangladesh is likely to go underwater within a short peroiod, As a result, a large number of coastal people of the country will be homeless, they added.
They also said that the climate changes are going to worsen because people are burning fossil fuels - diesel, petrol, natural gas and coal - at rapid rates. So the future generations are now under threat.
They stressed on the importance of changing behaviour to balance the climate to raise attention to the 350 ppm target for reducing climate change.

(not a very clear shot, the hares are skittish these days and don't hold still for a moment...)
Even the wildlife are in the throes of changing seasons. The snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) cannot hide anymore, as their fur is changing to winter white in advance of their surroundings.
It's a hard time of year for them because they are so easily seen, and because of their great abundance this year.
Owls, foxes and other predator populations have also grown in direct response to the hare 'boom', and are taking a great toll on the hares.
The great circle of life.
