The Pen EM is the first Japanese camera to have an electric driven motor drive and rewind system.
The Olympus Pen EM went on sale in 1965 with three new features: an electronic shutter, automatic film advance, and automatic rewind.
The electronic shutter allowed an exposure range from 30 sec. down to 1/500 sec. according to the brightness of the subject. Power for the shutter, film advance and rewind systems was provided by two AA batteries. While the Olympus Pen EM had a major influence on the future of electronic technology and automation in cameras, there were manufacturing problems that could not be overcome with the technology then available. Sadly, production ceased after just one year.

Astley Green colliery's No 1 shaft steam winding engine was installed in 1912 and was in use until the colliery closed in 1970. It is a four cylinder engine in twin tandem configuration, developing 3300 horsepower. It is believed to be the largest surviving colliery winding engine of its type in Europe.
The engine and engine house were saved from demolition when the colliery closed in 1970, and it has been restored by volunteers at the museum. The museum periodically runs the engine on compressed air.
The Hawker Sea Fury was a British fighter aircraft designed and manufactured by Hawker. It was the last propeller-driven fighter to serve with the Royal Navy, and also one of the fastest production single piston-engined aircraft ever built. Developed during the Second World War, the Sea Fury entered service two years after the war ended. The Sea Fury proved to be a popular aircraft with a number of overseas militaries, and was used during the Korean War in the early 1950s.
The Sea Fury's development was formally initiated in 1943 in response to a wartime requirement of the RAF, thus the aircraft was initially named Fury. As the Second World War drew to a close, the RAF cancelled their order for the aircraft; however, the Royal Navy saw the type as a suitable carrier aircraft to replace a range of increasingly obsolete or poorly suited aircraft being operated by the Fleet Air Arm. Development of the Sea Fury proceeded, and the type began entering operational service in 1947.
The Sea Fury has many design similarities to Hawker's preceding Tempest fighter, but the Sea Fury was a considerably lighter aircraft; both the Sea Fury's wings and fuselage originate from the Tempest but were significantly modified and redesigned. Production Sea Furies were fitted with the powerful Bristol Centaurus engine, and armed with four wing-mounted Hispano V cannons. While originally developed as a pure aerial fighter aircraft, the definitive Sea Fury FB 11 was a fighter-bomber, the design having been found suitable for this mission as well.
The Sea Fury attracted a number of international orders as both a carrier and land-based aircraft; it was operated by a number of countries, including Australia, Burma, Canada, Cuba, Egypt, West Germany, Iraq, and Pakistan. The type acquitted itself well in the Korean War, fighting effectively even against the MiG-15 jet fighter. Although the Sea Fury was retired by the majority of its military operators in the late 1950s in favour of jet-propelled aircraft, a considerable number of aircraft saw subsequent use in the civil sector, and several remain airworthy in the 21st century both as heritage and racing aircraft.
This picture was taken at the local Abbotsford airshow in 2004. This aircraft, WH587, owned by Ellsworth Getchell of San Jose, California, started life in 1952, operating with the Royal Australian Navy until 1963. From then on it passed through several owners, even becoming a racer in the middle 60's. Getchell purchased the airplane in 1975, restored it to beautiful condition and painted the airplane in original RAN colors, and has continued to operate the aircraft ever since. It is one of a select amount of Sea Furies still running an original Centaurus power plant

ROME - With just under three weeks left until elections in Rome, more than 2 million residents are tasked with choosing the next mayor of the Italian capital city amid a flurry of last-ditch public appearances and advertising onslaughts. The current mayor, anti-establishment Five Star Movement Virginia Raggi, is not lacking for opponents. The most significant is Enrico Michetti, who has thrown down the gauntlet to Raggi in a bid to raise the center-right flag over Capitoline Hill. But she’s got plenty to worry about on her own side of the aisle in the forms of Roberto Gualtieri as the center-left nominee and Carlo Calenda as the candidate for the progressive Azione party.
Most polling doesn’t bode particularly well for the incumbent Raggi: she’s currently trailing both Michetti and Gualtieri and only a hair in front of Calenda. Of course, with undecided voters topping 40%, it really is still anyone’s game. But it shouldn’t be this close, not with the promise with which Raggi entered the Eternal City. So what went wrong for her?
A rough start as a mayor
Virginia Raggi was elected the 34th mayor of Rome in June 2016, with 67.2% of votes in the second round. The first female mayor of the capital city promised to rid it of corruption, with the promise that “the wind is changing.” But it all went wrong.
It was a risky move to withdraw their 2024 Olympic bid, and the way it was done made her no friends in both public or private circles. She insisted that “with more than €13 billion of debt, Rome can’t afford to shoulder more to build cathedrals in the desert.” But her detractors heavily contested the position, claiming that pulling out from the bidding wasted the chance to upgrade infrastructure and public facilities with little or no expense. Funds would have come into Rome via the International Olympic Committee, private investors, and the government. According to a study from Tor Vergata University, the city lost an estimated €7.1 billion of gross revenue, 40,000 job opportunities, and, most of all, the chance to drag the capital city into the 21st century with cutting-edge infrastructures.
Once, Roman emperors used to host awe-inspiring public games in an attempt to appease and distract a population in constant turmoil. Back then, the Roman poet called Juvenal called it panem et circenses, Bread and Circuses.

These days no one seems to bother that much, preferring it seems to distract citizens with piles of garbage and wild boars. Though that sounds like a metaphor, it sadly is not. The waste management sector of Rome is near total collapse: every year the city council spends €170 million shipping the capital’s garbage to other Italian regions. Dumpsters are so full of trash that gulls, rats, and even boars have been spotted rummaging through bins to find something to eat. They are not particular, but no matter; they are spoiled for choice.

Make no mistake, Rome is filthy. Not only does the capital recycle 15% less garbage than the Italian average (45% as opposed to 61.3% in 2019), but only 60% of roads in the city are effectively cleaned, far below the 92% guaranteed by the publicly traded AMA, the company tasked with providing urban hygiene services. Yet despite this, Roman residents pay the highest waste tax in Italy, 42% higher than Florence.
The (lost) battle against corruption
Faithful to the motto of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement, Virginia Raggi trounced her opponents by promising to clean the city of corruption. But for a mayor that failed to clean up waste from the streets, it’s not surprising that she soon found herself under investigation by magistrates. The long list of judiciary proceedings deeply undermined Virginia Raggi’s authority, as two cases of malfeasance in office regarding staffing of her private office broke out. Eventually, the Court dropped all the charges against the mayor, citing her right-hand Raffaele Marra instead for illegal hiring practices. But the damage was done to her reputation and in Rome, reputation is everything.
Another trial regarding the new AS Roma soccer club stadium in 2018 resulted in the arrest of none people for crimes including corruption. Among them was the president of Acea (the local multi-utility providing water and energy services) Luca Lanzalone, who had been appointed to the position by Raggi herself. Although the mayor didn’t receive a sentence, the affair perpetrated the notion that anyone around the mayor was incompetent or, at worse, corrupt.
Regardless of who takes the reins, expectations look gloomy for the Eternal city. And though it is unfair to blame Virginia Raggi for everything that has gone wrong in the capital, she certainly hasn’t done anything to alleviate the problems that both preceded her and emerged in her tenure. For someone with so much promise, her greatest sin may just be her apathetic governance. The data speaks for itself: the city of Rome dropped from 18th in 2019 to 32th in 2020 in the national rankings for quality of life. No amount of bread nor circuses can fix that.

2). ROMA - Cinghiali “contromano” tra il traffico: in via Trionfale la processione si svolge in pieno giorno. Prati Borgo / San Pietro (21/09/2021).
In una via Trionfale trafficata, in pieno giorno, i cinghiali “contromano” si districano tra il traffico. La scena è stata ripresa, all’altezza del civico 8229, da un residente mentre era sul balcone della sua abitazione e mostra un comportamento fin qui inedito di suidi che, solitamente, si spostano al calar del sole alla ricerca di cibo, soprattutto accanto ai cassonetti ricolmi di rifiuti.
Automobilisti e scooteristi, quasi increduli, sono costretti a scansarsi per far passare tre cinghiali adulti e undici cuccioli, non si sono registrati incidenti.
Il candidato sindaco di Azione, Carlo Calenda, ha postato nel proprio profilo Twitter un video che ritrae i cinghiali da un’altra angolazione. “Non pensate sia arrivato il momento di sedervi a un tavolo e affrontare la questione?” – ha scritto Calenda taggando il presidente della Regione, Nicola Zingaretti, e la prima cittadina di Roma, Virginia Raggi.
I suidi sono animali dal comportamento prevalentemente notturno. La carovana non è la prima ripresa nel nostro territorio, il 21 luglio scorso, un cinghiale è stato filmato da una passante in viale Mazzini, a poche decine di metri da piazzale Clodio, due giorni dopo, invece, un cucciolo è stato trovato morto in via Trionfale, accanto ai bidoni della spazzatura.

Later on in the afternoon I wandered down to Druids corner where the Oulton Park authorities have done an excellent job in opening up the viewing area - you can settle down there (as I did) and watch the cars climb up Clay Hill and follow them as they head through Druids until they disappear under the Warwick Bridge on their way to Lodge. Its a good place to try out panning photography too - here, at the exit of Druids corner, is Ginetta G40 #73 as driven by Stephen Moore in the Ginetta G40 Cup (in which he finished in 20th place).

175cc, chain driven single overhead camshaft
MV used the name 'Disco Volante' (Flying saucer) due to the unusual shape of the petrol tank
Amazingly advanced design for 1953. Engine castings are lightweight, with metal only where it is needed.
Multiplate clutch running in oil.
Unit construction engine/gearbox (four speed, foot change). See the rocking gear lever so that you didn't scuff your designer Italian footwear!
Tele forks and swing arm rear suspension. British bikes at this time were invariably still rigid or plunger rear suspension.
There were the usual period claims/ boasts by the manufacturer of 85 mph, 14hp and 100+mpg!
Truth is that the bike is capable of approx. 75mph with the rider flat on the tank, and it will easily top 100mpg even when ridden fairly hard.
Handling/roadholding and brakes could cope with twice the power quite easily!
These bikes were very expensive to buy, but compared with a BSA C11, Villiers powered machines etc. available in 1953, what a machine the MV must have been.
This bike was bought in 2002 and was cosmetically quite reasonable. Mechanically it was a huge disappointment, and struggled to make 50 mph!
The Italian 'racers' in the 1950's did not favour the MV sohc motor as oil feed onto the cam lobes was scarcely adequate. We designed a hollow camshaft with 'quill' end feed, and oil delivery holes on the cam flanks which cured this problem.
We worked on compression ratio, camshaft design, crankshaft balance factor, electronic ignition and overall gearing.
Next week , the bike is competing on its 5th 'Motogiro d'Italia' - a 1200mile, 5 day endurance event in Italy.
We use up to 8500rpm (6500 standard), and have designed the power characteristics to be flexible, reasonably tractable so that you could easily go shopping on it, but it still has an 'interesting' part of the power band in the 6500-8500rpm range.
Bike was re-painted in 2007. Damn pretty too!
On 'A' and 'B' class roads this is a superb and quick machine, particularly when remembering it is now nearly 60 years old!
Machine Growth is a series of AI-driven videos that imagines and images a biological-like life for everyday technologies, by creatively morphing them into, for example, trees, house plants, flowers, fish, or coral. Cassette tapes, phones, cameras, headphones, projectors, typewriters, and other electronic waste are “alive” in as much as they grow and spread, consume and break down, diffuse waste and minerals, shift power and stories into and around the world – literally and metaphorically. This series visually compares and contrasts electronic and biological vitality, asking:
What will digital media be and do, after us?
How will our devices weather or grow over time?
What else might our techno-waste be, and how might we sense and feel this?
Where might electronics lead our environmental and economic politics?
Can we plan and act toward new and different futures?
Machine Growth is priced to own at .05 ETH via opensea.io/collection/machine-growth. The series is almost complete, with three final pieces still in production. The series presents the potentials of alternate life cycles for what we use and throw out, what it might grow into, and how the Earth may (or may not) claim it.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Sonny Perdue and Mrs. Mary Perdue visit the Mississippi Valley Fair, and meet with fairgoers, livestock show presenters, 4-H teams that showcase agriculture-related STEM education, and participate in a farm safety demonstration with first responders learning how to free a mock operator that has been pinned under an overturned tractor, and news media for interviews along the way, in Davenport, IA, on Aug. 6, 2017. Secretary Perdue's stop here is part of a five-state RV tour, featuring stops in five states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana; titled the “Back to Our Roots” Tour, he is gathering input on the 2018 Farm Bill and increasing rural prosperity, Aug. 3-8, 2017. Along the way, Perdue will meet with farmers, ranchers, foresters, producers, students, governors, Members of Congress, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) employees, and other stakeholders. This is the first of two RV tours the secretary will undertake this summer. “The ‘Back to our Roots’ Farm Bill and rural prosperity RV listening tour will allow us to hear directly from people in agriculture across the country, as well as our consumers – they are the ones on the front lines of American agriculture and they know best what the current issues are,” Perdue said. “USDA will be intimately involved as Congress deliberates and formulates the 2018 Farm Bill. We are committed to making the resources and the research available so that Congress can make good facts-based, data-driven decisions. It’s important to look at past practices to see what has worked and what has not worked, so that we create a farm bill for the future that will be embraced by American agriculture in 2018.” For social media purposes, Secretary Perdue’s Twitter account (@SecretarySonny) will be using the hashtag #BackToOurRoots.

I've driven past the Brandon Estate and seen it on the TV quite a few times but this was the first time I've had a go a photographing it. Done out of boredom more than anything else!
Taken just on the turn of night and with so many different light sources that I'm never going to be completely happy with the colours.
Nikon D200 (for a change) with Sigma 10-20mm. 2 minutes, 100 ISO @ F.22
Today I got a chance to tour the shops at Little Amerricka's Whiskey River Railroad. I'll take any chance I can get to walk through a railroad shop and photograph things, so of course, I had a great time at it. The trains are a little over 5 feet tall running on 16 inch gauge track, so this photo makes the drvers look a lot larger than they are.
