Хайнц Пионтек () е германски писател, автор на романи, разкази и стихотворения.

Биография и творчество
Хайнц Пионтек произлиза от селско семейство в Горна Силезия. За детството и младостта си в тогавашния Кройцбург (дн. Ключборк, Полша) разказва в автобиографичния си роман "Времето на моя живот" (Zeit meines Lebens) (1984).

През 1943 г. Пионтек тябва да прекъсне училищното си обучение и като войник от Вермахта участва във Втората световна война. През 1945 г. в Бавария попада в плен и е въдворен в американски военнопленнически лагер.

След освобождаването си живее известно време в град Валдмюнхен, работи за кратко в каменоломна в Горен Пфалц и като строителен работник в Мюнхен. Във втория си мемоарен роман "Часът на оцелелите" (Stunde der Überlebenden) (1989) Пионтек подробно разказва за тези години.

През 1947 г. се премества в Лауинген, полага матура и през 1951 г. се жени. После следва три кеместъра германистика във Философско-теологическото висше училище в Дилинген. През 1955 г. се преселва в Дилинген, а през 1961 г. – в Мюнхен. След паричната реформа през 1948 г. Пионтек живее от писателския си труд.

Негови стихотворения и разкази са преведени на повече от 24 езика, а след 50-те години избрани откъси от творбите му се съдържат в многобройни антологии и учебни сборници в Германия и чужбина.

От 1960 г. Хайнц Пионтек е член на Баварската академия за изящни изкуства, от 1967 г. – на Немската академия за език и литература в Дармщат, а от 1968 г. – на ПЕН-клуба на Федерална република Германия.

I have really enjoyed working on MarkUs this semester!
One of the things I liked the best was that our TA and one of the students on our team had both already worked on our project before and they knew both MarkUs and Ruby on Rails inside and out. I think that everyone on the team benefited from their past experiences and it was great to be able to get advice from them and ask them questions throughout the semester.
One downside of working with students from different universities is the lack of face-to-face communication. Our team did a really good job of communicating with each other through blog posts, review requests, and IRC meetings but it definitely would have been nice to meet with everyone in-person again.
I'm looking forward to working on MarkUs again next semester!

Panasonic and World Vision launch off-grid solutions project in Kenya
Created: Tuesday, 05 February 2019 06:20
World Vision and Panasonic Corporation have launched an off-grid solutions project in Narok County, Kenya
Panasonic has donated power supply stations, solar storage devices, solar lanterns and other lighting equipment.
This off-grid solutions project is in line with Panasonic's corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This project is intended for communities in Asia and Africa with a large off-grid population, where Panasonic works with NGOs that are making efforts to address social issues. In Kenya, World Vision implements this two-year project as the partner organisation.
The project aims to bring solar-powered electricity to an area of Narok County that is not connected to the national power grid. According to the Kenya Population and Housing Census, 22.7per cent of households countrywide is connected to the national electricity grid. In Narok County, however, only 5.6 per cent of households are covered.
Specifically, the new project has provided two solar stations and lighting equipment for Ilkimati Primary School and Enkutoto dispensary. They have also received solar storage devices. In addition, Panasonic has donated solar lanterns to 150 households in the community.
"To enhance the sustainability of the project, the beneficiaries will be trained on basic knowledge of electricity and the system, and the maintenance of the equipment by the project," according to Panasonic.
Once the solar-powered electricity is rolled out in the area, World Vision will support the community to run income-generating activities such as poultry farming and school gardening that will be fully equipped with solar-powered drip irrigation kits. They will also initiate reading camps, making use of the solar lighting system, to improve literacy competencies for both children and adults.
The solar technologies focus on providing the community with opportunities for diversifying their income-generating activities and venturing into new areas such as fruit and vegetable cultivation and poultry farming using a chicken egg incubator. In addition, the availability of electricity will enable people to extend their working hours thus increasing family incomes.

NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwired – Jul 6, 2016) – Integral Ad Science (IAS), the leader in quantifying digital media quality, today announced an enhanced partnership with Innovid, the world's leading video marketing platform. Video campaigns running on Innovid's platform can now utilize IAS blocking technology, which prevents video ads from serving on webpages that contain unsafe content, are fraudulent, or are in the wrong geographic location.
Customers have been taking advantage of IAS's patented blocking capabilities for display campaigns since 2009. The integration with Innovid enables IAS to extend the benefits of its proactive solution to video, a format that is increasingly commanding more of advertisers' budgets. Blocking occurs in real-time and at the impression level on desktop. In addition to avoiding fraud, blocking can also prevent ads from serving the wrong geographic location, or on pages with specific keywords.
The integration is currently in beta and advertisers can implement IAS blocking within the Innovid platform upon request.


Robert Osborne Bare (June 18, 1901 – September 30, 1980) was a decorated officer of the United States Marine Corps, who reached the rank of Lieutenant General. He is most noted for his work as Chief of staff of 1st Marine Division during World War II and later as Assistant Division Commander of the same unit during Korean War.
At the outbreak of the World War II, Bare served at the Marine Barracks Quantico, Virginia and remained there until October 1942, when he was transferred to San Diego, California as Operations officer (G-3) of the Amphibious Corps (later I Marine Amphibious Corps) under Major general Clayton Barney Vogel. He sailed almost immediately for South Pacific and spent next eight months at Nouméa, New Caledonia. Another important assignment came in June 1943, when Bare was transferred to London, United Kingdom and assigned to the staff of Naval Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Naval Expeditionary Force, Admiral Bertram Ramsay. He participated in the planning of the Invasion of Normandy and later observed the British Assault Force "J", attacking germans forces near Courseulles-sur-Mer. Bare compiled the notes and sketches of his observations and incorporated these intelligence informations into his report. He was later decorated with Bronze Star Medal with Combat "V" for his service in this capacity.
Colonel Bare was transferred back to the Pacific theater in October 1944 and assigned to the staff of 1st Marine Division. He participated in the final phase of the Palau Islands Campaign and succeeded Colonel John T. Selden as Division Chief of staff at the beginning of November 1944. Bare was appointed to this capacity following the Battle of Peleliu, where 1st Division suffered heavy casualties. New Division commanding general, Pedro del Valle, tasked Colonel Bare with the supervision of the re-equipping and training, which effected a virtual reorganization of the division.
Following the five months of training, 1st Marine Division participated in the Battle of Okinawa at the beginning of April 1945. Bare distinguished himself again and was decorated with Legion of Merit with Combat "V" for his merits during the training of the division and for his service during the battle.

Anna Moore Carulas saves the day for her health care clients, but she only brags about her kids
Published in 2010 Ohio Super Lawyers magazine
By David Searls on December 22, 2009
Anna Moore Carulas politely declines to answer one particular question posed to her. It's a follow-up to her comment about having won all three of her court cases that went to verdict this year. She'd just mentioned having more than 50 defense verdicts over the course of her 20-year career, so the next logical query is whether she knows her win-loss record. Her career batting average, so to speak.
"I'd rather not say."
It's said some of the most renowned criminal defense attorneys can lose more often than they win. Is that the case with her medical defense practice at Roetzel & Andress?
Not really. "I don't want to sound like I'm bragging," she says with a shrug and a pleasant smile.
But even though Carulas may have some discomfort with self-promotion, others don't mind doing it for her.
"She's the best trial lawyer I know," R. Mark Jones says flatly. He's a litigator in Carulas' medical defense and health care litigation group, which includes some 30 attorneys, nurse consultants and support personnel in the three Ohio offices of Roetzel & Andress. They worked together earlier in their careers at the now defunct Jacobson Maynard Tuschman & Kalur, and Jones says that when he was being
recruited a decade ago to the Cleveland office, "The attraction in coming here was Anna," he says. "She told me that she liked it here and that was as high a recommendation as I needed."
In a similar vein, client and associate Bill O'Malley, a vice president in the Cleveland office of ProAssurance, a liability insurer for medical professionals, calls Carulas "an exceptional trial lawyer. She has a great ability to get juries to focus and understand issues, even in the face of sympathetic injuries and catastrophic disabilities. She's hardworking and can understand complex medical issues. She's down to earth and credible."
"She's amazing in the courtroom, quite frankly," says Ingrid Kinkopf-Zajac, another member of Carulas' group and a long-time friend, as well as a former client.
Despite the accolades, Carulas doesn't put on Academy Award-winning courtroom performances or smoke big cigars after each of her victories—however many that might be. Although she was involved in theater at her Michigan high school and admits that she "craved the excitement" of trial work while working toward her 1986 graduation from Notre Dame Law School, her post-court routine is decidedly low key.
She might return phone and text messages from her kids before going home to her husband of 20 years. Her law firm office, decorated with family photos and yellowed crayon drawings, like the one featuring 'Good Job' in a childish scrawl, is testament to her strong and ever-present family support system.
In Carulas' words, her approach to litigation is similarly undramatic. "I don't feel like I'm on stage. You have to be able to project and make eye contact, but a jury has to know that it's real. You must show passion, but also compassion."
That's a balancing act with no safety net: passionately defending your client's position while maintaining the humility to recognize that almost every victory is built on painful loss.
"Anna's very good at finding that balance," says Kinkopf-Zajac.
Carulas displayed that high-wire tension in the case of a malpractice claim brought by the family of a 14-year-old girl who died after the sudden onset of Lemierre's Syndrome. The critical bacterial infection was not diagnosed in time by her physician client or at the hospital's emergency room.
"Most doctors go their entire careers without ever seeing this very rare condition," she says. (One online source cites about 170 reported cases in the last 100 years.) "On top of that, the patient didn't present the classic symptoms. Generally you'd see an abscess and a certain kind of neck pain."
The suit was ultimately unsuccessful for the family, but Carulas still recognizes a parent's need to hold someone responsible for nature's random cruelty.
In another winning case, one which garnered its share of ink in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Carulas and co-counsel Kinkopf-Zajac defended the Cleveland Clinic on negligence charges after an ER patient named Lisa Hinkle suffered a stroke, multiple organ failure and lifesaving amputation of both legs following treatment for a burst aneurysm.
The newspaper's lead-in to the article about the jury's decision summed up the challenges Carulas and her team so often face in the court of public opinion: "Lisa Hinkle's six-year run of bad luck continued yesterday."
In a case like that, a defense attorney's peripheral vision reveals devastated loved ones even while they celebrate victory with their client. As Carulas puts it, "Every situation you see is a tragedy."
At least, that's usually true. Early in her career, Carulas was called on to defend against a malpractice suit for the treatment of plantar warts.
The important consideration, says Carulas of her cases that have gone to verdict, is that "it's not our client who's responsible for that tragedy."
Jones, her friend and practice group member, describes Carulas' courtroom demeanor as "extremely organized, well-prepared and very attentive to detail."
All are attributes that must certainly come into play in the trial attorney's Shaker Heights home life.
According to Carulas, her daily schedule breaks down to "24 hours work, 24 hours family." She makes the math add up because she has to. She says that she knew she'd never go back to work if she stayed away after her kids were born, so she balances her responsibilities to both world and credits her husband as the partner that makes her hectic life possible.
Anna and Jim, president of a large regional accounting firm, have a pair of teenagers at home now. What she doesn't have, Carulas says with a chuckle, are hobbies. "Maybe when the kids are off to college."
In the meantime, the next closest thing to a pastime is the chauffeuring both parents do for active and involved girls. Catherine is 16 and Caroline 13. Both keep themselves and their folks busy with sports like figure skating and field hockey as well as with volunteer work and church activities—although Catherine points out that the recent attainment of her driver's license has cut down on parental transporting duties.
It's also fortunate, says Carulas, that her firm gives her the freedom and encouragement to mix family time with work time.
Catherine, her oldest, agrees. "We exchange text messages when Mom is at work and I'll call her when I get home from school. When we're together we'll do different things … go to movies, dinner, shopping. I feel she's always there when I need her."
That goes both ways.
"Trying a case can be … trying," says Carulas, after groping for the right word. "I used to take [work stress] home at times, but less so with the kids. It used to be that I lived and breathed the case, but when I go home to the girls, they want to tell me about their problems and mine just fade away."
She takes a breath and thinks before delivering her summation. "Being a mom is a harder job than being a lawyer, but the work is definitely rewarding."
Words that seem to apply to both of her most important jobs.

The morning air is cool, crisp and refreshing. Just like these six college football stories from around the country.
The university is still formulating its response to a cease-and-desist letter sent last week by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, but the administration does not believe there is anything wrong with the long-standing tradition of a pre-kickoff invocation.
Dabo won't waver in his quest to deliver a national championship to the Tigers.
An underwhelming win against South Dakota State, a fourth-quarter meltdown against Rice and a closer-than-expected loss to No. 17 TCU have left Kansas looking for a spark.
Arkansas Coach John L. Smith opened his Monday press conference by yelling at media to "SMILE!" So what led to the "SMILE!" rant? Smith decided to explain Wednesday night on his coach's radio show.
Realistic Man wonders why no team has tried to block a punt against Florida because it seems like Christy is still taking a long time to get it off.
Rah-rah Boy sees the cup as half-full. Realistic Man thinks it could use some more water.
There is some truth in what they both believe. This is a talented but flawed team. If the Gators can win Saturday and go 4-0 in September, it's different from the previous 4-0 starts. But the real meat of the schedule is still ahead.


After what seemed like months of hunting around and reading reviews on various makes and models of car kits, including a visit to the Gadget Show in Birmingham.. I finally settled on the Parrot Asteroid Mini.
This is one powerful piece of kit, I have always been a fan of the Parrots, working my way up through the models. However this has been my first with a colour screen, with support for Android market store apps.
One of the biggest selling points of the Asteroid mini for me was the ability to install and use Waze a free community-based GPS navigation system.
The Mini sports a 3.7 inch full colour display, and a wireless remote (with the option of hard wiring it if required) – although the screen on the mini is not touch screen the controls on the remote make navigating and text entry fairly straight forward.. Granted, a touch screen would be quicker – and perhaps a little less frustrating at times. However the amount of time I spend typing on the device, the jog wheel is sufficient.
The mini can access the net using a compatible Smartphone or a 3G/4G USB dongle, supported operating systems include Android, iOS, RIM, Symbian, Bada.
My only main complaint about the Asteroid is that the speed it takes to cold boot can sometimes feel like an eternity.. We are talking 2-3 minutes from power on to a usable state.. This is something which maybe resolved in future android releases.
Also the lack of touch screen, or qwerty keyboard may bother some people.


This car was originally sold to Duchess Auto, a Chevrolet dealer in Millerton, New York, in November 1964.
Fred Stevenson and Newton Davis (who ran the Lotus Division of Duchess Auto) collected the car at JFK Airport. Peter Pulver, Vice President of the company and a racing driver himself, tested the car at Lime Rock shortly after delivery. Pulver recalls, "The front brakes would overheat, the car would understeer, and you could feel the chassis moving around under you. The hot air from the radiator was exiting the front brakes causing them to overheat. We decided to reroute the air flow, by cutting a full flow vent on the nose, which also corrected the understeer. We also beefed up the frame by spot welding on an extra skin."1Varani, Franco. "Lotus 30-L-7". 04 Jul 2012.
More photos of this car can be seen here.
It was then raced by Davis in the Nassau Trophy and Govenor's Cup where he retired in both races. The car raced in several SCCA events in 1965, notably winning at Lime Rock. Gerry Georgi, a fellow club racer, filled in when Davis was not available.
Hans Rocke of Florida briefly owned it.
Alex Seldon, Guilford, UK, bought this car in 1979 from the USA and prepared it for vintage car racing. Alex had success in HSCC events with it and won the 1980 Classic Sports Car Championship for its class.
By this point, the car was updated similar to a Series Two, with 15″ wheels, a detachable chassis section, and other improvements. Seldon's mechanic installed a Ford 289 (a very early Ford Advanced Vehicles GT 40 engine prepared by Stuart Mathieson's Mathwall Engineering) rated for 380 bhp.
Weber 48 IDA carburetors replaced the Tecalemit-Jackson fuel injection, and the horsepower was now around 350 at 6500 rpm. The car had a restored ZF 5 DS-20 transmission.
It was sold in 1981 to Jeffrey Wakelin, just before being featured in Doug Nye's excellent Old Motor article "The Beautiful Miscalculation" in October 1981. Nye shoehorned himself into Alex's car and did a few laps in it. Seldon remarked that the car was a most enjoyable if demanding car, "though positively evil in the wet." [footnote]Nye, Doug "Beautiful Miscalculation." Old Motor. October 1981: p. 41[/footnote] He also commented on how hard the brake pedal initially was, "like hitting a wall with your foot and still nothing happened." Seldon modified the pedal geometry to improve that situation. He also mentioned that while at the foot of Paddock Hill at Brands Hatch the car bottomed out so bad that the front tires punched holes through the bodywork!
Seldon sold the car to Jeffrey Wakelin in 1981. When Seldon sold the car, it was in gorgeous condition with medium red paint. Wakelin did some racing with it and then put it up for sale the same year.
In 1999, Mike Paton bought it. It stayed three years in California for sale without success.
It was bought by Marcel Pund (FR) in 2001. The car was displayed at the Rétromobile show by Pund's "La Galerie des Damiers" on 2 Feb 2002. Despite being in rather rough cosmetic condition, it sold that same day.
The new buyer, asked to keep the car out of the Rétromobile show. So it stay 2 days at Rétromobile 2002, and was replaced by a Lotus 11.
The full set of photos from the 2002 Retromobile Show is here.
The new buyer was Gerard Marcy (BE). The car was restored by Bernard de Dryver between 2003 to 2005.
Anthony Schrauwen of Belgium is the current owner. He's owned the car since about April 2012.

9-year-old Oregon girl dies on beach after sand hole collapses on her
(Reuters) – A 9-year-old girl who was digging in a large sand hole on an Oregon beach suffocated and died after the sand caved in around her and other beachgoers were unable to dig her out in time, police said on Saturday.
The girl, identified as Isabel Grace Franks, was playing Friday evening on the beach in Lincoln City, about 80 miles southwest of Portland, when she was buried in a hole between 2 and 4 feet deep, the Lincoln City police said.
The girl was under the sand for between five and seven minutes before she was pulled out, Lincoln City Police Sergeant Randy Weaver said.
The girl, who was visiting Lincoln City with her parents from Sandy, Oregon, was unconscious and not breathing when she was pulled out from the collapsed sand hole. She was taken to a hospital in Lincoln City, where she was unable to be revived, the Lincoln City Police Department said in a statement.
"When you dig in the sand it keeps falling back in on itself, so it was extremely difficult to get her out," Weaver said. "It was a tragic event."

One of eight winners of the 2013 R+D Awards that were presented by ARCHITECT magazine, the ecoMOD Project is an effort of project teams at the University of Virginia (UVa) to work with affordable housing organization in the creation of low-impact, energy-efficient housing units. Project teams are made up of UVa faculty and students of various disciplines that have collaborated on the design, build, and evaluation of twelve housing units that are located on eight sites.
Beginning in 2004 and evolving the program to include renovation projects in 2009 (ecoREMOD), the ecoMOD Project aims to bring sustainable residential design to people in low- to moderate-level income brackets so that they can benefit from the reduced costs of an energy-efficient home.
Housing projects encompass new construction ecoMOD projects that utilize prefabrication methodologies and ecoREMOD projects that attempt to bring sustainable design concepts to an historic context.
Current installations that are on track for occupation this summer are three modular units that will be rented or purchased by low-income households. Two of the homes meet international Passive House standards at a delivery cost of $105 per square foot (plus design fees and foundation work). The third home, a control unit, meets local codes and cost only $70 per square foot. It will allow the teams to collect data on cost to benefit ratios and returns on investment in energy-saving systems.
The modules utilize regionally-sourced materials such as FSC-certified red oak for flooring and cementitious fiber board siding that contains 50 percent flash that was recovered from nearby Georgia's coal-burning power plants.
Upcoming challenges for ecoMOD include the design of a LEED-certified ranch that can be built for less than $70 per square foot.
I love this house, I think it looks really beautiful. We have been building houses for years now, and when you come across and architect with a good idea, and a family who is willing to build it, that is when you get a house as beautiful as this!

Lula promises to interfere with Petrobras pricing policy if elected

Former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva gave markets another reason to fear his massive lead in the polls for the 2022 presidential race. During a Tuesday radio interview, the center-left leader said the government should interfere in the fuel prices charged by Brazil's giant oil company Petrobras.
During the Workers' Party's era in power, the government worked to hold fuel prices down. However, during the Dilma Rousseff years as inflation began creeping into the double digits, that policy resulted in estimated losses of BRL 100 billion (USD 18 billion) for Petrobras.
After Congress impeached Ms. Rousseff in 2016, her successor gave Petrobras total autonomy to peg prices to international oil rates — at times, price increases were announced on a daily basis. Experts say that shifting from excessive intervention to almost complete liberalization disrupted the local market.
"The Brazilian people must be the ones who profit from Petrobras," said Lula on Tuesday. Reality is more complicated than that, however. While under government control, Petrobras is a publicly-traded company and the government has a fiduciary duty to minority shareholders.

Out of My Mind (Paperback)
By Sharon M. Draper
(Battle of the Books)
Spring 2010 Kids' Next List
"This is the touching story of a gifted child,trapped in a barely working body. Melody, age 11, struggles to communicate with a world of children and adults most of whom can't see beyond her physical limitations. A provocative change of pace for Sharon Draper."
— Peter Moore, The Blue Marble, Fort Thomas, KY

Eleven-year-old Melody is not like most people. She can't walk. She can't talk. She can't write. All because she has cerebral palsy. But she also has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She's the smartest kid in her whole school, but NO ONE knows it.

And she's determined to let everyone know it…somehow.

Weekly Rundown features circus performances, ex-battle rappers
Wednesday, Oct. 16
Zimmermann & de Perrot
Through Oct. 18
August Wilson Center
980 Liberty Ave., Cultural District
Showtimes vary
Admission: $18-25
Unwaveringly original performers Zimmermann and de Perrot have created a strange, vaudevillian blend of circus performance, theater and dance that is certain to make audiences' heads spin. The catalyst for the madness on stage is the stage itself — four separate rooms on a vertical axis that rotates throughout the performance, creating chaos as well as a serious sense of the surreal. Employing the assistance of five circus performers and dancers, the innovative use of set results in a performance that, though slightly hectic, won't be soon forgotten.
Soul Khan
The Smiling Moose
1306 E. Carson St., South Side
Admission: $10
Songwriter Soul Khan made his debut in 2008 as a much-hyped and promising battle rapper, but in recent years he has seen his career take a very different path. After stepping away from the world of battle rap in 2010, Soul Khan has taken a very different approach to the world of music, releasing four EPs dedicated to John Coltrane's A Love Supreme and honing a soul-inspired, smooth sound that draws comparisons to rappers such as Washington, D.C.'s Oddisee.
Saturday, Oct. 19
Owl-o-Ween
The National Aviary
700 Arch St., North Side
In accordance with the Halloween season, Pittsburgh's National Aviary will be leading its annual costumed tours of the aviary, with a special emphasis on the raptors and creatures of the night that undoubtedly haunt the dreams of small rodents far and wide. This year's event will have a special twist: Participants will help select the name of one of the Aviary's newest additions: a Eurasian Eagle-Owl that hatched in March.
Regent Square Theater
1035 S. Braddock Ave., Regent Square
Admission: $8 general, $4 with student ID
Part of Pittsburgh Filmmakers' Disillusionment in Modern America series running throughout the month of October, "Cool Hand Luke" is perhaps best known as the iconic Paul Newman film. After being arrested for cutting the heads off parking meters, Lucas "Luke" Jackson (Paul Newman) comes face to face with a despotic warden and draconian prison system that are bent on breaking him down. Naturally, Luke has no interest in being broken, and the saga that develops has become a classic piece of American filmmaking. The film's eponymous protagonist has a key position in the pantheon of American film heroes, cheerfully bucking the unjust systems before them.

Police: Alcohol involved in wreck that killed 2 teens
Police believe the 17-year-old driver was drunk and without adriver's license.
The crash happened around 2 a.m. on Rosehill Road near Hickory Hill and Country Club Drive.
Investigators say Bryanna Hamilton, 17, was driving a 1995 Nissan when she lost control causing the car to overturn.
Denzel Graves, 16, died at the scene, while Cheyenna Cummings, 18, died Sunday at the hospital as a result of her injuries.
Also in the car at the time were Alya Shaw, 19, Chyna Harris, 18, Benyetta Nicholas, 17, and Isaiah Nicholas, 14.
They all suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center.
The teens were at a birthday party prior to the wreck.
Twenty-year-old Tierra Washington, who hosted the party, spoke to ABC11 Eyewitness News Monday. She says she didn't know some of the attendees and didn't supply the teens with alcohol.
"I didn't supply the alcohol, and you got into the car with someone drunk, it was your choice," Washington said.
She also said she regrets throwing the party.
"This is a recipe for disaster," Sgt. Eric Dow of the Fayetteville Police Department explained. "Driving drunk, unlicensed driver, dark road [and] speeding."
ABC11 went to Hamilton house Monday but no one came to the door.
Hamilton is charged with driving while impaired and driving with no operator's license. Detectives say she may be facing murder charges.


Most noticeable are the sharp decline of the house sparrow, song thrush and starling, and the rise of the collared dove.
Hobby - Britain's only migrant bird of prey. Once a rare visitor to Southern England; now has spread North and increased to more than 600 pairs.
Magpie - Continues to thrive despite persecution, population has increased to more than 910,000 pairs.
Nuthatch - Once common only in Southern England, now expanded to Scotland and colonised all of Wales.
Lapwing - Fast running out of food and habitat because of changing agricultural practices. Population in freefall, estimated 126,000 pairs.

Jinaimachi was built in the middle of the Sengoku Period by the Buddhist sect Jodo-Shinshu. During the Edo Period, the town lost its religious importance and became a town of merchants, with 149 stores operating 51 different kinds of businesses, many of them specialized farming products, cotton and sake brewery.
Some of the oldest, wealthiest and best preserved traditional merchant houses can be visited in Tondabayashi, a small city close to Osaka. The beautiful room photographed here belongs to the Old Sugiyama Family Residence, a house once inhabited by an affluent family working in the sake brewing business.
The house, considered the best and oldest example of all the merchant houses in the area, was declared Important Cultural Asset in 1983, and the oldest part, around the kitchen, is about 350 years old!
The former residence of Sugiyama Family, featuring a stunning four-tiered roof.
Further, along the stone pavement of the Jonomonsuji street, one comes upon a mix of temples and merchant homes dating from different time periods, and great views of the whitewashed walls that symbolize the area.
The prosperity of the town in the old days attracted many thieves' attention, so the townsmen during then came up with some ingenious security solutions. You can see in today's photo the "shinobi-gaeshi", a kind of sharp bamboo fences installed…on the top of the building!
When you get tired of walking, stop and take a break at the Jinaimachi Koryukan. The spot serves to convey information on the history and culture of Jinaimachi, as well as a rest spot for city residents and visitors. The tranquil exterior of the building has a relaxing affect after a long walk.
It was a worthwhile trip to travel back in time to the Old Osaka of the 17th to 20th Centuries where you'll get to see endless white walls on traditional old houses that decorated a historic town!


Bob Geldof has been ringing alarm bells and tackling humanitarian crises for two and a half decades, but his latest challenge is the biggest he's ever undertaken: saving the planet.
We could have less than 17 years to live thanks to climate change, Geldof told young people at a conference in Johannesburg, South Africa last week.
Geldof, 61, best known for his Live Aid concert series, believes there will be 'a mass extinction event' and has admitted that his generation has let down today's youth.
'The next war will not be a World War One or a World War Two - it will be the end,' he warned.
'The world can decide in a fit of madness to kill itself. Sometimes progress may not be possible. We're in a very fraught time,' he added.
In recent weeks scientists have warned that the Earth is set for more extraordinary heat waves, floods, droughts and rising sea levels that could swamp coasts and islands as greenhouse gases build up in the atmosphere.
According to the Daily Mail the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated in its first report for six years that global warming is 'unequivocal.' It is 95 percent certain that human activity is the dominant cause, the report added.


The Eclipse OCL Project provides an implementation of the Object Constraint Language (OCL) OMG standard for EMF-based models.
Provides an Interactive OCL Console to evaluate queries on models.
Provides an OCLinEcore Xtext editor for OCL embedded in an Ecore meta-model.
Provides a CompleteOCL editor for an OCL document complementing a meta-model.
Provides an EssentialOCL editor for individual OCL expressions.
The grammars for the Xtext-based editors auto-generate ANTLR parsers. In Eclipse OCL 3.0, the ANTLR parsers are used solely within the editors. As from Eclipse OCL 3.1 the Xtext grammars and parsers provide full evaluation and validation capabilities too. Since the Xtext grammars are associated with a re-engineering to support a model-defined standard library and full OMG compliance, the original LPG parser will be increasingly deprecated.
Eclipse OCL may be installed directly from the main Eclipse http://download.eclipse.org/releases/photon/ Update Site.
or from an OCL-specific site: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/ocl/updates. The Eclipse OCL Repositories and Updates for Milestone, Interim and Nightly builds are described in P2 Repositories Organization and retained in accordance with the Retention Policy.
The OCL Examples and Editors SDK feature provides the full IDE comprising Xtext-based editors, Interactive Console, Debugger and Java Code Generator all using the new Unified Pivot -based OCL.
The OCL End User SDK feature provides the Classic OCL support with distinct Ecore and UML APIs.
Eclipse OCL has Open Bugs and a newsgroup or forum. See the OCL Forum Netiquette.
An Eclipse OCL development environment may be created automatically using the OOMPH Eclipse Installer. Follow the OOMPH instructions to first create an Eclipse installation with a Java VM, then invoke File->Import Projects->Oomph->Projects into Workspace->Eclipse Projects->OCL->Development. After a few minutes the required dependencies have been downloaded and a restart is required. Then after a few tens of minutes the required GIT repositories have been cloned and you are ready to go; there should be no errors in the Problems View. You may wish to select Working Sets as the top level elements in the Package Explorer. You may Run->Run Configurations...->JUnit->org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.tests (standalone) to demonstrate that the standard tests are passing.
Alternatively an Eclipse OCL development environment may be created manually using the Eclipse OCL source code from git://git.eclipse.org/c/ocl/org.eclipse.ocl.git, http://git.eclipse.org/c/ocl/org.eclipse.ocl.git and github Network. All source projects may be installed by Import...->Team->Team Project Set, then entering http://git.eclipse.org/c/ocl/org.eclipse.ocl.git/plain/releng/org.eclipse.ocl.releng/psfs/ocl-all.psf?h=master as the URL for import. Be patient; the repository clone takes a while, and there are no obvious progress indicators during the third phase while projects are actually created.

The FX20 vacuum excavator is ideal for a wide range of relatively small projects and multiple short runs per day, including municipal tasks such as valve box cleanout, storm drain cleanout, commercial and residential debris cleanup and landscaping, underground utility location, posthole digging, and construction site storm water control. Offering a choice of options, the 27-hp FX20 vacuum excavator has the suction power of the larger FX30, yet it can be easily transported with a flatbed or pickup truck.
The skid-mounted FX20 vacuum excavator can fit in the back of a pickup truck, on a flatbed trailer or a specially designed Ditch Witch trailer; in many cases no CDL is required.
Outstanding suction power of 540 cfm in a compact, extremely durable package.
150-gallon spoils tank is mounted permanently at a 45° angle, making the dumping cycle quick and easy.
Belt-driven blower avoids the alignment issues associated with a direct-coupled blower, making the FX20 vacuum excavator more reliable and easier to maintain.
The FX20's exclusive non-contact water shutoff valve protects the water pump and eliminates the potential leaks of a float switch, which requires holes to be drilled in the side of the tank.
Curbside operator's console is designed to make controls easily accessible; for custom applications, the console can be positioned on the left side of the unit.
The FX20 vacuum excavator is equipped with a Kohler gas engine that is renowned for its reliability and ease of maintenance.


A Guardian article (Poland's Jews fear for the future under new Holocaust law, Feb. 10th), on the controversial Polish law that imposes jail terms for those claiming that the country was complicit in the Holocaust, chose this photo to illustrate the piece.
However, other photo agencies who covered the event, organized by the openly antisemitic All Polish Youth (MW), and which included antisemitic and anti-Israel chants and banners, tell a different story. Those few people holding Israeli flags were clearly pro-Israel counter protesters – a few Poles opposed to the Holocaust bill and opposed to the far-right demonstrators present that day.
Here's one Getty photo of someone holding an Israeli flag, separated from the main demonstration by a line of police, representing a small counter demonstration.
We contacted Guardian editors, who upheld our complaint and amended the caption to make clear that those carrying Israeli flags were indeed counter protesters.
So just an innocent careless mistake … sure, sure.

Shelby County native hikes coast to coast on American Discovery Trail
By Patricia Ann Speelman - pspeelman@sidneydailynews.com
The American Discovery Trail is the only east-west hiking trail that traverses the United States. It offers northern and southern routes through the Great Plains. For information, visit www.discoverytrail.org.

Shelby County nativeRoger Ditmer, of St. Simons Island, Ga., poses for a photo in Dodge City, Kan., during his coast-to-coast hike along the American Discovery Trail, recently.
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — The American Discovery Trail may be the country's best kept secret.
If so, a Shelby County native is in on it. Roger Ditmer, who grew up near Hardin and now lives in St. Simons Island, Georgia, is in the second year of a three-year plan to walk the length of the trail that stretches from Lewes, Delaware, to Point Reyes National Seashore, California.
The sea-to-shining-sea path totals 6,800 miles and passes through 15 states. It utilizes national, state and local trail systems and for the most part avoids cities, taking hikers and bicyclists through rural and small town America.
"I got the idea (for a cross-country hike) about 10 years ago. God called me out on something," Ditmer said. While on the Internet in 2008, he came across information about the American Discovery Trail. A horticulturist by trade, he semi-retired in December 2016 and started his trek last summer.
"My plan was to walk roughly a third of the trail in 2017, another third in 2018 with completion in 2019. Walking an average of 25 miles per day, six days a week, I anticipate roughly a total of nine months on the trail over the three-year period," he said.
During 2017, Ditmer covered 1,668 miles, from Delaware to St. Louis.
This year, he started at St. Louis and had made it as far as Cripple Creek, Colorado, when he talked with the Sidney Daily News, Wednesday, June 13, from Georgia. He had returned home for a week to work on horticulture contracts and will go back to Denver, Sunday, to pick up the trail. He hopes to make it to the border between Colorado and Utah before the snow flies.
"I don't know why the American Discovery Trail is not known," Ditmer said.
Carole Tomhave, administrator of the volunteer organization that oversees the trail, has a theory about that.
"It's not its own trail," she said. "It's a network of existing rail trails, greenways and national park trails." About 20 years old, the route was a joint project of Backpackers magazine and the American Hikers Association to link trails from coast to coast.
When trails couldn't be linked, "they would find the least-traveled road — gravel or dirt roads — to get from trail to trail," Tomhave said.
Although the trail as a whole may not be famous, "each of the component parts is well known by the residents where they are," she said. "Much of it is bike-able. A lot of people doing the whole thing will do a mix of bicycling and hiking."
Tomhave estimates that 10 to 15 people complete the whole trail in any given year, although they may not have traversed the it all at once.
"Most people hike near where they live," she said.
Ditmer's path this year had him walking for awhile in the footsteps of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out from St. Louis with a company of soldiers and were the first explorers to travel through the western territories that would become the United States.
"As I left the Missouri River, I picked up the Santa Fe Trail in Kansas. I paralleled it for miles. All the history is mind-boggling," Ditmer said. He has been particularly interested in the Native American history the Discovery trail has allowed him to discover. He's also learning Civil War history as he walks. He's listening to Civil War audiobooks by Shelby Foote and Ken Burns.
The adventure of the trail is a new one for Ditmer.
"Being a farm boy, I stayed in shape. But I never walked. I never even backpacked. I went from a few thousand steps (tracked on his watch) to 60,000 steps," he said. Traveling with just two changes of clothes and camping gear, which he pulls in a rolling pack harnessed to his shoulders, Ditmer begins to look for a stream or lake at about 2 p.m. each day.
"I go into the water, clothes and all," he said. That's one way to get his clothes and his body clean. He then hikes for another two hours, during which he and his clothes dry out. He switches out his shoes every 700 miles. The tent is pitched 85 percent of the time. When he can, every 10 days or so, he'll book a hotel room to enjoy a hot shower and a good bed. Sometimes, he is invited to be a guest of people who live along trail.
He carries instant mashed potatoes and canned chicken for the times he can't find a restaurant for a meal. But, he noted, even villages that are almost ghost towns will have cafes. He uses a filter to process drinking water.
The biggest danger this year, through the plains states, has been rattlesnakes. They curl up in abandoned gopher holes along the shoulders of the roadway.
"I'm tending to stay back from the edges of the roads," Ditmer said. "They'll poke their heads out and look at you as you pass." As he starts the next section of trail, he'll begin to hang his food bag. In the mountains, he'll be on the lookout for pumas and bears. The hiker said he is not concerned about navigating the Rockies alone.
"This is not my walk. It's God's walk," he said. Although he doesn't proselytize, he knows that his personal reason for undertaking the coast-to-coast trek is for the glory of God. He makes notes of his experiences and has collected information for sermons. He also shoots 30 to 40 photographs each day.
Having felt called by his faith to undertake this walk, his goal has been to encounter people with two concepts: "Be Thankful" and "Be Encouraged."
"This often leads into a discussion of faith and the uniqueness of hope through the Christian belief," he said. His motto is "Live Like You Believe" with Philippians 4:4-8 being the scriptural context most often highlighted: "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Ditmer is the son of Barbara Ditmer, of rural Hardin, and the late Marvin Ditmer. Married, with three daughters and two grandchildren, Roger graduated from Houston High School in 1974 and from Ohio State University with a degree in landscape horticulture. He worked in Chicago, the British Virgin Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands before spending 23 years as the landscape horticulturist at the Cloister at Sea Island, Georgia. Semi-retired, he continues to consult on tree care through his one-man business, Tree Guy LLC.

Inspiring aspiring engineers is best part of the job
Posted by Joe Kullman | Sep 29, 2016 | Faculty
When he came to Arizona State University 26 years ago, Peter Fox joined only one other faculty member with expertise in environmental engineering — and that colleague retired one semester after Fox's arrival.
At that time, ASU students interested in doing research or obtaining a degree in that emerging branch of engineering had to move on to graduate school at another university.
Professor Peter Fox has been the academic adviser to more than 120 students who have earned master's and doctoral engineering degrees at Arizona State University, and mentored hundreds of undergraduates in their studies — as well as providing both graduate and undergraduates opportunities for research experience in his laboratory.

Today, ASU's Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering has a highly reputable environmental engineering graduate program that has been recognized nationally and internationally, and now Professor Fox's ASU colleagues include many prominent researchers in the field.
Many people had a hand in making that happen, but Fox is acknowledged as "the one who got it all started," says Bruce Rittmann, a fellow professor in the Fulton Schools and a much-awarded researcher in environmental biotechnology.
Fox has served as adviser to more than 100 students who have earned master's degrees and more than 20 who earned doctoral degrees in civil, environmental and sustainable engineering, and he has mentored hundreds of undergraduates who have focused their studies on a concentration in environmental engineering within the accredited civil engineering program.
But in the near future, he will be able to see ASU students earn degrees from a new undergraduate program focused specifically on environmental engineering.
Joining a list of all-stars
Fox's leading role in all this progress is a large part of what has earned him this year's top educator award from the Water Environment Federation, a major international organization of water-quality professionals.
He accepted the Fair Distinguished Engineering Educator Medal on September 27 at the WEF Annual Technical Exhibition and Conference, the largest event of its kind in the world.
The award, which "recognizes accomplishments in the education and development of future engineers," is named in honor of Gordon Maskew Fair, a Harvard University professor of sanitary engineering known for not only teaching students the technical aspects of the field but inspiring them to use their skills to protect and enhance environmental quality.
The medal is awarded to recognize the contributions of those whose work as educators reflects Professor Fair's ideals.
"Peter's past body of work and his current service, research and outreach have been instrumental in driving our environmental engineering graduate program to national prominence. I cannot think of anyone else who is so deserving of this award," says Professor G. Edward Gibson Jr., director of the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, one of the Fulton Schools.
Sought-after water resources expert
Fox says he is further honored because the past winners of the award comprise "a list of all-stars" in the environmental engineering profession.
Fox's all-star status is emphasized by former student Carlos Padilla, who nominated Fox for the award.
Padilla earned a master's degree under Fox's mentorship and is now the water resources department assistant director for the city of Mesa, one of many of Fox's students who have gone on to leading roles in industry and at national laboratories, or have started entrepreneurial ventures and run successful businesses.
Those and many other students have gotten the benefit of learning from a teacher whose work to develop improved techniques, processes and systems for water treatment, recharge, reclamation and reuse have made him a sought-after consultant and research collaborator.
Fox has advised federal, state and regional government agencies and served on public task forces for major water resource sustainability efforts throughout the western United States and in other countries — including Australia, Israel and Jordan.
Locally, he earned the Arizona Water Association's Environmental Education Award in 2013 and the organization's top research award four times in previous years.
On a larger stage, he helped to establish the National Center for Sustainable Water Supply. Headquartered at ASU, its partners included Stanford University, the University of Colorado-Boulder and the University of Arizona. He directed the center for eight years.
Biggest reward is impact on students
He was an executive committee member for the effort to develop a national road map for water desalination and purification, a joint venture of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and Sandia National Laboratories.
Fox is currently a project leader for one of the major research thrusts of the Nanotechnology Enabled Water Treatment Systems center, called NEWT, a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center.
The center is charged with developing compact, mobile, off-grid water-treatment systems that can provide clean water to millions of people who lack it and make U.S. energy production more sustainable and cost effective.
For the past five years, he has also been serving as the graduate program chair for the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, where he impacts students' education across all discipline areas in the school, including civil, environmental and sustainable engineering, construction engineering and construction management.
Fox says the bonus for all this varied work is being able to share the lessons and results from his leadership and research endeavors with his students.
"That is what makes this a great job, the combination of doing research and teaching," he says. "In the end, the biggest reward is contributing to the lives of the students."

Russia's Thuggish Aggression
By David Aikman
Russia's alarming invasion of Georgia is based on the claim that it is protecting the citizens of South Ossetia, who have been at odds with Georgia since the 1990s.
In fact, its real goal is to punish and embarrass the United States, which has gained new friends and allies, including Georgia, in the Russian backyard after the Soviet Union fell. It wants to end Georgia's flourishing democracy, nip in the bud Georgia's desire to join NATO and close down an oil pipeline that breaks Russia's monopoly on exporting the region's oil. Essentially, it's Vladimir Putin's Monroe Doctrine: foreigners, especially Americans, should stay out of what used to be the Soviet empire.
If Russia gets away with intimidating Georgia, other former Soviet republics, now independent, may be next.

Only three more days until Halloween! There's still time to make this fun & spooky holiday sweet without chemical-laden sugary treats.
Whoopie pies are soft and moist, cake-like chocolate cookies, usually filled with a creamy vanilla flavored filling. Since it's Halloween and it's pumpkin season, I decided to give these delicious classic cookies a different spin, and fill them with a sweet pumpkin filling. Top each cookie with candied eyes and they come to life, looking like cute, spooky little cookie monsters. Of course these are very unhealthy candied eyes, and I would never recommend eating them. So you can add them just for fun, and toss them before eating the cookies.
These chocolate cookies have a great soft, moist and fluffy texture, and the recipe was inspired by my Chocolate Cake recipe. When combined with the pumping filling, these whoopie pies burst with delicious flavors, and are the perfect sweet treat to celebrate Halloween with.
The pumping filling is made mostly of organic pumpkin puree and coconut butter, spiced with cinnamon, and lightly sweetened with raw honey. The pumpkin flavor is very mild, but they add a fun Halloween color to these cookies without the addition of unhealthy food dyes. Kids will love these, and won't even notice that pumpkin was added to this recipe. Happy healthy Halloween!
As always this recipe is also Paleo friendly. These whoopie pies are gluten, grain, dairy, soy and refined sugar FREE. Enjoy.
Mix together the almond flour, cacao powder, coconut flour, coconut palm sugar, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, coconut milk, egg, vanilla extract, and honey.
Using a rubber spatula, mix wet and dry ingredients together, then fold in chocolate chips. Do not over mix.
Cover dough and freeze for 40 minutes or until easy to handle.
Scoop about 2 teaspoons of dough into the prepared baking sheet (I use this cookie scoop), and using the palm of your hands flatten each cookies, spacing them on the baking sheet about 2-inches apart. If the cookies stick to your hand, use a piece of parchment paper to flatten them.
Bake cookies for 10 minutes, then set baking sheet on a wire rack to cool.
Whisk all ingredients for the pumpkin filling together until combined.
To assemble whoopie pies, drop 2 teaspoons of the filling on the flat side of the cookie. Top with another cookie.
Yields: 11 servings. Store in the refrigerated in an airtight container.
* I make my own coconut butter instead of store bought because it is much cheaper to do it this way. Simply add 2 cups of unsweetened dry shredded coconut to your food processor, and process until creamy and smooth like peanut butter, scrapping the sides of the bowl as needed. If you use store bought coconut butter, you can melted it by placing the jar in a bowl of hot water.
For some reason, my pumpkin filling is always so liquidy. I tried making it twice, and it turns out the same. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, and I'm gonna see if putting it in the refrigerator works. Any advice?
Hi Emma, this could be from the pumpkin puree you are using. What brand is it?
I'm just wondering if the eyes could be created with some healthy frosting option (put in place with a frosting decorator) and mini chocolate chips instead of candied eyes?
Cheryl, how about slicing macadamia nuts an topping each one with a dot of melted chocolate to make the eyes? To make the mac nuts stick to the cookie, add a tiny bit of the pumpkin filling to the back of each nut.
I love how suprisingly healthy these whoppie pies are! Definitely a recipe I need to make.. thanks for sharing it!

Kohli, Smith are best; humbling to overtake them: Williamson

Talismanic New Zealand captain Kane Williamson says it is 'surprising and humbling' to leapfrog star Australia batsman Steve Smith and India skipper Virat Kohli to the top spot in the ICC Test rankings.
Williamson (890) gained 13 rating points for his player-of-the-match effort of 129 and 21 in New Zealand's 101-run win over Pakistan in the first Test to end the year at the top position on Thursday.
He dethroned Smith, who slipped to the third spot after managing scores of 0 and 8 in the two innings against India at the MCG. Kohli (879) is at second, 11 points behind Williamson and two more than Smith.
"Those two players (Virat Kohli and Steve Smith) are the best. For me, sneak up ahead of someone (like them) is very surprising and humbling," Williamson said in a video posted on the ICC's twitter handle.
"Those are the two players year and year out in all formats moving the game forward, very fortunate to play against these guys," said the 30-year-old right handed batsman.
Williamson had briefly occupied the top spot towards the end of 2015 before Kohli and Smith soared ahead of him.
"It's about trying to do as much as you can for the team. If you can contribute as much as you can and it can be reflected on the rankings, that's really cool," he said.
Williamson said his focus was on helping New Zealand achieve success across all formats and personal milestones are just a byproduct of that process.
New Zealand clinched a last-session thriller in the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan in Mount Maunganui after the visitors put up a valiant fight.
"It was a great game to be involved in. We seem to have many tight finishes against Pakistan. The last three have gone to the last 25 minutes of the last day. Both teams fought incredibly hard."
"I think we had moments although the resistance put up by Pakistan on the last day was incredibly strong. It is really exciting to cross the line and hunt for an opportunity for the World Test Championship," said Williamson.

Somehow this year has just gotten away from me as far as posting general photos. Oh, I made sure to post albums from events like comic conventions and hiking trips. But the random one-offs and two-fers? I've been tossing them up on Instagram, Pixelfed, and/or Mastodon, but I haven't been maintaining my Flickr gallery.
Whatever the reason, I've got eight or nine months of random photos, some just barely interesting enough to share, some really good (IMHO), that I haven't been curating for Flickr. And the longer I go without posting them, the less it becomes a cool thing to do and the more it becomes a Task To Be Done.
So I sat down tonight after putting the kid to bed, hooked up my camera and my phone to my computer, and started moving and categorizing photos. I eventually got tired of it, but I freed up a lot of space. Even though I'm not quite done with that stage, I went through all the photos I've got so far and picked out the ones I want to highlight.
There are enough that I'm breaking them into categories to upload in small batches over the next week or two. If you upload more than three at a time, Flickr will only show the most recent three to your followers. Hopefully they'll be interesting enough to convince them to click through to the rest of the batch, but I've noticed that the top three in a batch always get viewed more than the rest, and always get more feedback. A lot of the more serious photographers I follow won't even post batches bigger than two or three at a time.
The first batch went up tonight: It's Los Angeles cityscapes.

California Today: Meet the New Mayor, Age 26

(Want to get California Today by email? Sign up.)
California pulled off several mayoral firsts on Election Day.
The city of Elk Grove in Sacramento County elected Steve Ly, the first Hmong mayor anywhere in the country.
In Berkeley, Jesse Arreguin became the city's first Latino mayor.
And in Stockton, voters elected not only the city's first black mayor, but also its youngest ever — the 26-year-old Michael Tubbs.
Californians have in the past elected a number of 20-something mayors, but perhaps never in a city the size of Stockton, with a diverse population north of 300,000. (The League of California Cities said it did not track the ages of mayors.)
Mr. Tubbs, a City Council member for the last four years, focused his campaign on renewal in a city that was hammered by the 2008 housing crisis.
"He sort of represents, I think, people's hopes for the future of Stockton," said Keith W. Smith, an associate professor of political science at University of the Pacific, which has a campus in Stockton.
Mr. Tubbs, a Democrat, won 70 percent of the vote, a result that was also seen as a repudiation of his rival.
The campaign of the incumbent Mayor Anthony Silva, a Republican, was tainted by reports of improper conduct. The latest was an arrest over accusations that he gave alcohol to minors during a strip poker game. Mr. Silva did not respond to requests for comment.
"So as much as the vote is for Michael Tubbs a lot of the vote is also against Anthony Silva," Professor Smith said.
Mr. Tubbs was born in south Stockton to a teenage mother and an incarcerated father. He went on to graduate from Stanford and intern at Google and the White House, before going into politics.
Speaking on Thursday, he said he was "a little overwhelmed" by his victory.
"Coming from where I'm from, living in poverty, not coming from a political family, it's an incredible honor," he said.
Asked what his political future might hold, Mr. Tubbs said he was focused on the job at hand.
As a 17-year-old, however, he was more candid. In 2008, Mr. Tubbs was part of a team that won a national debate competition sponsored by the N.A.A.C.P.
As a result, he got to meet Senator Barack Obama, then the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
"I looked at him, shook his hand and told him, 'I'm next,'" Mr. Tubbs said, according to one local news account. "He said, 'O.K.'"

People on San Francisco's sidewalks this week have been encountering kindness in an unusual way.
Posters have appeared on poles across the city with little dangling paper slips that can be torn off and taken away. But instead of offering yoga lessons or a used sofa, they are simple written compliments — and they're free.
"You are perfect as you are."
"You bring joy to those around you."
"Your smile is beautiful."
"Our world is better because you're in it."
The posters are the brainchild of Anna Sergeeva, 26, a San Francisco artist.
The idea came to her weeks before the presidential election, Ms. Sergeeva said, but she acknowledged that the mood in liberal San Francisco after Mr. Trump's victory inspired her to act on it.
"I feel like I'm doing a marketing campaign for kindness," she said on Thursday.
Since she and some friends put up a bunch of the posters last weekend, the campaign has taken off, fueled by the Instagram posts of passers-by and the hashtag #thecomplimentproject.

As momentum built, Ms. Sergeeva created a website in which other people could download the posters.
She said people have reached out from Los Angeles, New York, Arizona, Colorado, Israel, France and Britain.
"It's crazy," she said. "I'm really excited and happy to part of something that feels special and needed at the moment."
