The flickering giant shadows, gathering near. Honestly, the main reason why I found Procter's poem years ago is mostly because it was mixed in with other stories.

Flaws Identified in Government's Direct Action Carbon Plan
An independent economic analysis of Australia's Direct Action program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has found major flaws in the program.
The analysis by Dr Paul Burke from The Australian National University (ANU) has found the Direct Action program often leads to inefficient spending on projects that would go ahead anyway without government support, and that the scheme likely overstates the amount of emissions reductions.
Direct Action works by allocating funds for emissions reduction projects through a series of reverse carbon auctions. Since it was introduced in 2014, around $1.7 billion has been allocated for projects promising to lower carbon emissions.
"Unfortunately, projects that would have gone ahead even without a subsidy - anyway projects - have a cost advantage that makes them well placed to win the auctions," said Dr Burke, a climate economist at the ANU Crawford School of Public Policy.
"When projects of this type receive funding, taxpayers' money is being used ineffectively.
"The research concludes that Direct Action is likely to be delivering emission reductions that are smaller than the government has claimed."
He said examples of anyway projects include many landfill gas capture projects, which have received Direct Action payments even though they can already generate revenues from their gas. Other projects include upgrades to supermarket lighting and vehicle fuel efficiency, types of activities that routinely happen anyway.
Other Direct Action winners include projects to reduce tree clearing. While some of the funding will help preserve vegetation, it is unclear if all farmers included had been planning to clear vegetation.
Dr Burke also said Direct Action had not worked as an incentive for key sectors of the economy, such as electricity generation, to reduce emissions.
"The previous policy of carbon pricing was a more effective approach than Direct Action," he said.
Direct Action is the Government's key program to help Australia lower carbon emissions by five per cent of 2000 levels by 2020, and by 26 to 28 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.
Three Direct Action auctions have been held so far, with the next one due in the second half of 2016.
The Opposition has promised a return to limited emissions trading if it wins the July 2 election.
Dr Burke's research is published in the journal Economic Papers.

## MySQL Replicator
Replicates data changes from MySQL binlog to HBase or Kafka. In case of HBase, preserves the previous data versions. HBase storage is intended for auditing and analysis of historical data. In addition, special daily-changes tables can be maintained in HBase, which are convenient for fast and cheap imports from HBase to Hive. Replication to Kafka is intended for easy real-time access to a stream of data changes.

## Intro
This readme file provides basic introduction on how to get started. For more details, refer to official documentation at [mysql-time-machine](https://mysql-time-machine.github.io/).

### Building required Docker images
1. Run `mvn clean package` from the root of the `replicator` repository to build the MySQL Replicator distribution that will be used later;
2. Copy the distribution file to the `images/replicator_testing/input/replicator/` directory inside the `docker` repository;
3. Run `container_build.sh` script from the `images/replicator_testing/` directory inside the `docker` repository;
4. Run `docker images` to verify that `replicator-testing` image has been built successfully;

### Getting Started with MySQL Replicator
Replicator assumes that there is a pre-installed environment in which it can run. This environment consists of:

 - MySQL Instance
 - Zookeeper Instance
 - Graphite Instance (or none in case of console metrics reporter)
 - Target Datastore Instance (Kafka, HBase, or none in case of STDOUT)

Easiest way to test drive the replicator is to use docker to locally create this needed environment. In addition to docker you will need [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) installed locally.

````
git clone https://github.com/mysql-time-machine/docker.git
cd docker/docker-compose/replicator_testing
````

Start all containers (mysql, kafka, graphite, replicator, zookeeper)

```
  ./run_all
```

Now, in another terminal, you can connect to the replicator container

````
 ./attach_to_replicator
 cd /replicator
````

This folder contains:
1. different utility scripts to setup and run the replicator
2. replicator configuration file
3. log configuration file

There are the steps to initialize the environemnt and start the replication with latest 0.16 version:

````
 ./00_setup   # will unznip the jars from distribution
 ./01_seed    # will initialize mysql with random data
 ./02_run_016 # will start the replication
````

Random data in the seed step has been inserted in pre-created database 'test' in precreated table 'sometable'. The provided mysql instance is configured to use RBR and binlogs are active.

````
  mysql --host=mysql --user=root --pass=mysqlPass

  mysql> use test;
  mysql> show tables;
  +----------------+
  | Tables_in_test |
  +----------------+
  | sometable      |
  +----------------+
  1 row in set (0.00 sec)
````

As the replication is running, you can observe the replication statistics at graphite dashboard: http://localhost/dashboard/

### PACKAGING

Packaging the project is really simple with Maven

```
mvn clean package
```

Will generate a tar.gz distribution as output. The distribution will contain all dependencies.

### DEPLOY

To deploy a new version to Maven central it's enough executing

```
mvn clean deploy -P release
```

If previous step didn't work is probably because you don't have a SonaType account or a published GPG key. Follow these steps:

1. [Create a Sonatype Account](https://issues.sonatype.org/secure/Signup!default.jspa)
2. [Create a PGP Signature](http://central.sonatype.org/pages/working-with-pgp-signatures.html)

Now you should be in conditions to deploy the project.

While studying, she knew she wanted to have an outlet where she could test out new material and be held accountable for creating content. She then decided that Instagram was the perfect platform, and started her account (@realtalkwithchan) in March 2016. Three years later she expanded her instagram base to over 70 thousand followers, through publishing character driven comedic videos. Laughter has allowed her to authentically connect to an audience, driving her to tell stories that bring people together.

The reason I bring this up is that the original description of Hoplocephalus vestigiatus was published in an Australian newspaper, the The Brisbane Courier, 13 September 1884 (!). This newspaper has been digitised and is available in Trove, a digital archive hosted by the National Library of Australia. The description of Hoplocephalus vestigiatus appears in an account of a meeting of the Royal Society of Queensland: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/3434083.
dedicated to Mr. J. Sutherland, of Normanton.
Searching Trove for Hoplocephalus I discovered a number of articles on snakes, some of which have also had their OCR text corrected, a measure of the success the project has had in engaging users. Trove has come up several times in discussions abut OCR correction and BHL, but this is the first time I've taken a closer look — I didn't expect to find species descriptions in an Australian newspaper.

Over a period of 19 months Double Negative fielded a team of well over 250 artists, developers and technicians to deliver approximately 950 VFX shots for the film, a record for any one vendor in the history of the Harry Potter film series.
In late 2005, Tim Burke, overall VFX Supervisor for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, (which opened in the US on 11th July, 2007) approached Double Negative to come on board as the lead VFX vendor for the film. Tim was keen to bring Double Negative on board as early as possible in the visual effects development process to get the maximum level of creative integration.
Double Negative's shot list was divided up into four distinct geographical areas: Hogwarts, both inside and out; the Forbidden Forest, where Harry and his friends encounter Grawp, Hagrid's teenage half-brother; the Hall of Prophecy, a mysterious and cavernous storage space in the Ministry of Magic and the Veil Room, which lies at the very heart of the wizarding world.

"Adapt we must": Joshua Busby on the Climate-Security Connection
August 29, 2008 By Sonia Schmanski
In "The Climate Security Connection: What it Means for the Poor," Joshua Busby (listen to ECSP podcast with Busby) discusses the security implications of climate change for the developing world. In this paper, written for "Development in the Balance: How Will the World's Poor Cope With Climate Change?," the fifth annual Brookings Blum Round Table, held earlier this month, Busby explains that "[d]eveloping countries are most vulnerable, partly as an accident of geography, but also because vulnerability is made worse by poverty, bad governance, and past conflict."
Busby compares the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis, which pounded Burma in May 2008, to that of an armed attack, describing both as causing "widespread suffering, destruction of infrastructure, mobilization of the military, and the movement of refugees." In fact, between 1991 and 2005, natural disasters led to as many deaths as armed conflict, as Busby notes. The subsequent political battles around outside efforts to deliver aid "gave people around the world a visual image of the potential future," says Busby, and offered a glimpse of "the security risks when affected countries lack the capacity or will to respond."
The economic consequences of natural disasters can also be crippling. In absolute terms, the developed world suffers larger financial losses, but as a share of GDP, the damage to developing countries is far greater. Additionally, though the death toll of natural disasters continues to fall, the total number of affected people is on the rise, which means that many more people are relying on government services to regain their footing in the wake of natural disasters.
These consequences have long-term security implications for a world in which natural disasters are becoming more frequent and severe. "Post-disaster environments are going to be dangerous moments," Busby predicts, "when mishandled or inadequate disaster response can give way to the kinds of lingering grievances that can motivate people to take up arms." To prevent this, he advocates an international focus on adaptation and risk-reduction strategies, and cautions against narrowly focusing on the causal relationship linking climate change to violent conflict. By doing so, policymakers and practitioners overlook what Busby says is the more likely outcome, in which large-scale disasters sap government resources by creating humanitarian emergencies that require military mobilization in response. In "Gathering Storm – the humanitarian impact of climate change," the UN's Integrated Regional News Networks (IRIN) explores how climate change has altered the face of global humanitarian crises.
Offering a sharp critique of the reactive strategy of many governments, Busby suggests that a modest investment in prevention would be more efficient and more effective. A joint assessment by the World Bank and the U.S. Geological Survey, for example, found that a $40 billion investment in natural-disaster prevention could have prevented $280 billion in damages worldwide during the 1990s. The reactive approach also threatens to politicize the carefully guarded neutrality of aid workers and organizations; engender international friction where inadequate government response leads to international intervention; and sap government resources through costly responses to humanitarian crises.
Busby envisions a system where "the poor bear less of the brunt of half-hearted and partial reactive measures" in response to climate change. Noting Paul Collier's finding in The Bottom Billion that past conflict is an accurate predictor of future poverty, Busby argues that reducing the potential for violence in post-disaster situations will improve development prospects for countries worldwide. An enlightened approach, emphasizing prevention over reaction, will not only insulate vulnerable regions from the immediate dangers of natural disasters, but will also protect them from more indirect, long-term threats to their prosperity and security.

Activists say immigrants are being forced to do chores that should be done by hired staff, for only a few dollars a day.
STEWART COUNTY, Ga. — It's one of the largest immigrant detention centers in the country, and it's right here in Georgia.
But local activists say the Stewart Detention Center in Stewart County, Georgia is nothing more than a forced labor camp. Now, they've filed a federal lawsuit against the private company that runs the center in hopes of shutting the prison down.
"The food basically being inedible. The hygiene conditions being really horrible. Medical care is pretty much non-existent," listed Azadeh Shahshahani with Project South.
The group is just one listed on the lawsuit against CoreCivic, the business that runs the prison, where they say immigrants are being forced to do chores that should be done by hired staff, for only a few dollars a day.
"There's this forced labor program. Where immigrants are basically doing the chores, that that corporation would have to hire regularly waged people to do, and paying them $1 to $4 a day," argued Shahshahani.
CoreCivic argued in federal court argued that the program is voluntary, and that it exists to reduce the negative impact of confinement.
But Shahshahni wonders: "How voluntary can a work program be if it's in a prison context."
Last week, a federal judge ruled that the lawsuit against the private company can move forward.
Meanwhile, Stweart Detention Center maintains that all of their procedures - from their treatment of detainees to their labor programs - are on par with federal requirements.

Underreporting child abuse deaths: Experiences from a national study on child homicide
To the Editor: Mortality is the most extreme consequence of child abuse, but it is not always conceptualised within the framework of child abuse and neglect. While undertaking research for the recent National Female and Child Homicide Study, it became apparent that medical practitioners, and especially forensic pathologists, often deviate from their legal and ethical obligations when the cause of a death raises suspicion of child abuse or neglect.
During data collection from mortuaries and police interviews, we encountered many instances where the Inquest Act1 and the Children's Amendment Act2 were not adhered to. Frequently, children's bodies had been released without a police investigation, particularly when death occurred in hospital. Whether it was assumed that a police case had been opened prior to the hospital admission, or whether the required involvement of the police had simply been forgotten, is unclear. In other cases where intentional injuries were suspected, attending doctors instructed families to open a police case. This abrogation of responsibility is not only in breach of the law, but is wholly inappropriate in child abuse and neglect, where parents or caregivers could be primary suspects.
In one case, an 8-month-old baby, who subsequently died of a subdural haematoma with a subarachnoid haemorrhage and cerebral oedema, was brought to a private hospital by the personnel of a crèche. Such injuries are highly indicative of non-accidental injury, and the mother was asked by the doctor to institute a police investigation. Unsurprisingly, an investigation could not be traced. Fatal child abuse remains hidden, and the perpetrators literally get away with murder. It is incumbent on forensic pathologists and medical practitioners who treat fatal injuries to ensure that suspicious cases are investigated.
The Inquest Act of 1959 instructs that all deaths which are deemed not to be due to natural causes undergo a postmortem examination to establish a cause of death, and a police investigation to establish whether someone can be held responsible for the death.1 Furthermore, Section 110(1) of the Children's Amendment Act of 20072 mandates that such cases be reported to the police by all medical practitioners, including the forensic pathologist who 'concludes on reasonable grounds' that a child's injury occurred in the context of abuse caused by physical injury, sexual abuse or deliberate neglect. A medical practitioner is not relieved of this duty with the death of a child, as this is the most extreme consequence of abuse. Such cases should receive additional attention. An investigation into the circumstances of the child's care and events leading to the child's death, in conjunction with postmortem findings, would assist in determining if someone can be held responsible for the death. We therefore strongly recommend that child abuse homicide case management and investigation receive as vigorous attention as any other case of suspected child abuse, since families may have other children who are similarly at risk.
There is an urgent need to strengthen reporting and management systems between Forensic Pathology Services (mortuaries) and the South African Police Service. South Africa needs to introduce multi-sectoral child death review (CDR) teams, so that all child injury deaths are reviewed, and factors amenable to intervention are identified, to prevent fatalities. In other countries, CDR teams have been shown to be effective in the identification of gaps in the child protection system, with the aim of preventing further child abuse fatalities.3 It is imperative that we promote the development of a CDR mechanism to increase protection for all children.

A system created by MIT researchers aims to harness the full spectrum of available solar radiation; Princeton University researchers have developed a new method to increase the brightness, efficiency and clarity of LEDs.
According to researchers at MIT, the key to creating a material that would be ideal for converting solar energy to heat is tuning the material's spectrum of absorption just right: It should absorb virtually all wavelengths of light that reach Earth's surface from the sun — but not much of the rest of the spectrum, since that would increase the energy that is reradiated by the material, and thus lost to the conversion process.
And now, the MIT team says it has accomplished the development of a material that comes very close to the ideal for solar absorption. The material is a 2D metallic dielectric photonic crystal, and has the additional benefits of absorbing sunlight from a wide range of angles and withstanding extremely high temperatures, they said. Perhaps most importantly, the material can also be made cheaply at large scales.
The material works as part of a solar-thermophotovoltaic (STPV) device in which the energy from sunlight is first converted to heat, which causes the material to glow, emitting light that can then be converted to an electric current.
This rendering shows the metallic dielectric photonic crystal that stores solar energy as heat.
The MIT team is now working to optimize the system with alternative metals, which they expect could be developed into a commercially-viable product within five years.
Princeton University researchers have developed a new method to increase the brightness, efficiency and clarity of LEDs, which are widely used on smartphones and portable electronics as well as becoming increasingly common in lighting.
Using a new nanoscale structure, the researchers increased the brightness and efficiency of LEDs made of organic materials (flexible carbon-based sheets) by 57 percent. The researchers believe their method should yield similar improvements in LEDs made in inorganic (silicon-based) materials used most commonly today.
The method also improves the picture clarity of LED displays by 400 percent, compared with conventional approaches by inventing a technique that manipulates light on a scale smaller than a single wavelength.
Current LEDs have design challenges. One of the biggest is to reduce the amount of light that gets trapped inside the LED's structure. And although they are known for their efficiency, only a very small amount of light generated inside an LED actually escapes. In fact, a rudimentary LED emits only about 2 to 4 percent of the light it generates.
The Princeton team's solution is a nanotechnology structure called PlaCSH (plasmonic cavity with subwavelength hole-array) that reportedly increases the efficiency of light extraction to 60 percent — 57 percent higher than conventional high-end organic LEDs. At the same time, the researchers reported that PlaCSH increased the contrast (clarity in ambient light) by 400 percent. The higher brightness also relieves the heating problem caused by the light trapped in standard LEDs. PlaCSH is able to achieve these results because its nanometer-scale, metallic structures are able to manipulate light in a way that bulk material or non-metallic nanostructures cannot, the researchers said.

Days after unveiling its first television spots, the Arizona HomeOwners Protection Effort (HOPE), the chief proponent of Proposition 207, has added three radio ads to the mix.
The ads focus exclusively on the eminent-domain provisions of Proposition 207. All three end with this spoken announcement: "Major funding by Americans for Limited Government, an out-of-state contributor, and the Arizona Chamber of Commerce."
Americans for Limited Government is based in Chicago and has no office in Arizona. It is chaired by Howard Rich, a wealthy political activist who lives in New York City.
According to its most recent filings with the Arizona Secretary of State's office, Arizona HOPE took in more than $1.15 million — 86 percent of its funds raised through October 18 — from Americans for Limited Government and the Fund for Democracy, which Rich also heads. (In filings in other states, Rich has identified the Fund for Democracy, which shares his address in New York City, as "a revocable trust [that is] dedicated to assisting citizens assert their constitutional rights.") It got $150,000 from the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
"Yes on 207" Radio Ad 1: "Prop. 207 Intro"
Attention homeowners and business owners: Your homes and businesses are at risk. By using the power of eminent domain, the government can take your private property and sell it to a developer for his private use, requiring you to move your home or business simply to raise sales and property tax revenues. That is why it's imperative that you vote "yes" on Prop 207. Protect your business. Protect your home. A "yes" vote on Prop 207 will ban politicians' efforts to replace one private-property owner with another for economic reasons. Thirty states have recently passed similar protections and many more are voting on them in November. The support for Prop 207 is bipartisan, as property owners across the state are equally at risk. To learn more about why you need to vote "yes" on Prop 207, the Private Property Protection Act, visit hopeforarizona.com. That's hopeforarizona.com.

My job is to estimate software development costs. That's a little tricky, so I built a calculator to help. Try it yourself.
Why pay more for app development?
The most frustrating part of my job is quoting prices to potential partners who are brand-new to app development. Talking to them is great: I get to meet new people, hear great new ideas and "get my nerd on" by explaining tech concepts. But, I can hear doors slam shut as soon as numbers leave my mouth.
Losing business isn't what has me frustrated. I'm not a sales guy, and I don't get paid a commission on new clients. The frustrating thing is loving great ideas and knowing Jane Entrepreneur is probably going to sell her great idea to the lowest bidder.
A low-quality development shop will quote her a ridiculously low price, take her money and then deliver a nonfunctional product, if they deliver anything at all. Jane Entrepreneur will lose not only her budget but her motivation to bring a great idea to life.
What factors drive app development costs?
Are "savings" on development costs really savings?
The cost of app development covers a huge range. Freelancers and cut-rate code shops in India or Pakistan are among the cheapest options. Companies like MentorMate are comparatively more expensive.
It seems like an obvious choice: Why buy a BMW when a Corolla works just fine?
The answer is that Corolla is actually a lemon.
Say that your budget is $500. Hopefully it's clear that's a very unrealistic amount given the lack of information provided, and the fact that Uber, Github, Yelp and Amazon were each built by a big team of full-time staff developers.
Within an hour of posting (34 minutes for me) you'll probably receive your first "proposal" promising the moon and the stars ahead of schedule and under budget.
A freelancer or small dev shop doesn't really have a brand to protect. If they have an unhappy customer, it's unlikely their other potential customers will find out. They only take on one or two clients at a time, or are located in a different country with little regulation.
On the other hand, domestic development shops that engage with enterprise customers regularly build their business on their reputations. If we fail to deliver, lots of people will find out.
At MentorMate, we hold our programmers to high standards of performance, put every piece of code through rigorous quality assurance testing and assign a project manager to each client to serve as a responsive point-of-contact. This adds overhead costs in the short-term, but ensures that you actually get what you paid for.
With cheaper options, there's usually just one person wearing all the hats: they're the developer, QA engineer and project manager. The only standards they have to meet are their own. This saves money up-front, but saving money is no use if all you get is broken code.
In general, the less paid for app development, the greater the risk that expectations will not be met.
How do you get BMW development for a Corolla price?
The idea behind the Agile software development movement is instead of building a whole app all at once we first build a Minimum Viable Product. Your MVP is the most bare-bones your app can be while still having what makes your app unique. For example, Snapchat's MVP was to simply send a self-destructing photo to someone else's phone.
The MVP may not be what goes to market, but it's incredibly valuable to investors. A person with an idea for The Next Facebook and nothing to show for it is a "wantrepreneur". A person with a mildly interesting idea and a well-thought-out and well-executed MVP, however simple, is an investment opportunity potentially worth millions.
At MentorMate, we offer an early stage "Rapid Ideation" process that costs a fraction of actual development. For clients seeking investment, it delivers a rock-solid business proposal that can be sent directly to venture capitalists, and will save huge amounts in R&D and re-scoping when the coding starts.
Try out the cost estimator, and send me your thoughts through the form at the bottom. All submissions will go straight to my e-mail inbox. Is your estimate a little high? Learn how to slim your development costs. Great ideas deserve great development.

ACLU Criticizes Police Chief's Proposal for Implementation of Prince William County Anti-Immigrant Resolution
Richmond, VA - The ACLU of Virginia today warned the Prince William Board of Supervisors about the dangers of enforcing an anti-immigrant resolution passed on July 10, specifically criticizing a new proposal from the Police Chief for conducting inquiries into the residency status of arrestees.
The Police Chief's proposal -- which responds to the July 10 resolution's mandate that police conduct inquiries into the residency status of detainees when there is probable cause to believe the detainee is in violation of federal immigration law -- will be presented to the Board of Supervisors at its meeting today.
In a letter to the Board of Supervisors, ACLU of Virginia Legal Director Rebecca Glenberg objects in particular to two aspects of the Police Chief's proposal. First, the Police Department proposes to use Department of Motor Vehicles standards to determine "proof of legal presence" of persons who have been arrested on criminal charges. This implies that everyone, including U.S. citizens, must carry proof of residency or be subject to official inquiries into their immigration status.
Second, the ACLU is concerned that the proposed policy allows the police to extend the time arrestees may be detained in order to conduct an investigation into their residency status. The ACLU believes that, because local police lack the authority to arrest individuals for immigration matters, it is a violation of their constitutional rights to extend the time of detention in order to conduct inquiries into immigration status.
The Police Chief's proposal includes some safeguards to reduce discriminatory application of the resolution, but at a cost of $14,000,000 to Prince William County taxpayers. The ACLU believes that, even with the safeguards, individual police officers are far more likely to check the immigration status of Latinos who have been arrested than others.
"This Police Chief's proposal underscores the problem of local enforcement of federal immigration law," said ACLU of Virginia Executive Director Kent Willis. "Are Prince William County's taxpayers willing to pay $14,000,000 to implement a program that requires everyone to carry proof of residency papers at all times, that will likely be enforced on the basis of national origin, and that will, in the end, identify a handful of persons who are here illegally?"

Mixed balance
Northern route on Everest
Mount Everest has shown his teeth again on the past weekend – just on the day when eight climbers were on their summit push without bottled oxygen. Contrary to expectations, on Saturday wind gusts and snowfall in the summit area made the ascent difficult. The result: two summit successes without breathing mask on the north side, one on the south side. Two climbers, who used supplemental oxygen at all and reached the highest point at 8,850 meters. And three summit aspirants, who turned back because of concerns for their health.

Dujmovits turns back on Everest at 8,500 m
Ralf Dujmovits
What a pity! Ralf Dujmovits has not been able to fulfill his dream of reaching the summit of Mount Everest without bottled oxygen. The 55-year-old turned back at an altitude of 8,500 meters. From Camp 3 at 8,300 meters, he telephoned his life partner, the Canadian climber Nancy Hansen. "He had to turn back at 8,500 m because a storm blew in: 40 kph winds with snow. He was losing feeling in his hands and feet," Nancy wrote on Facebook. "As you can imagine, he is extremely disappointed. The weather just didn't allow for a summit." Ralf's wise decision demands respect and shows that he was still in control of himself.

Next station: Everest summit

Ralf Dujmovits is close to his big goal. In his eighth attempt, the 55-year-old finally wants to scale Mount Everest without bottled oxygen. Ralf is only about eight hours of ascent away from the highest point on earth at 8,850 meters – if everything goes well. Today Dujmovits, according to his life partner Nancy Hansen, reached Camp 3 on the Tibetan normal route at 8,300 meters, from where he called her by satellite phone. There had been a thunderstorm for the last hour, Ralf told the Canadian. It had taken him five hours to climb the 600 vertical meters from Camp 2. "He feels a little tired, but he sounds very alert and normal," Nancy wrote on Facebook. "He will drink a lot now, rest a few hours, and leave for the summit at 1am Nepali time (1.15 pm Friday in Canada, 9.15 pm Friday in Germany)."

Everest without O 2: Right on schedule

So far, the summit attempts of the climbers, who are currently tackling Mount Everest without bottled oxygen, are on schedule (with one exception, see below). According to his life partner Nancy Hansen, Ralf Dujmovits today reached Camp 2 on the Tibetan north side of the highest mountain on earth: "Ralf just called me from 7,700 m, where he will sleep for the night," the Canadian climber wrote on Facebook. "It is stormy now, but the winds should come down. Tomorrow he will move up to 8,300 m. He feels good!" The 55-year-old has already – as the only German climber so far – scaled all 14 eight-thousanders. Only on Everest in 1992 he had used a breathing mask. The current attempt without bottled oxygen is his eighth and in his own words the "definitely last one" on Everest.

Without O2: The Everest summit pushs of Dujmovits and Co. are on

If everything works, there could be a "topless" party on the summit of Mount Everest next Saturday. Some climbers who want to scale the highest mountain on earth without breathing mask have started their summit attempts. Among those who set off from the Advanced Base Camp on the Tibetan north side was Ralf Dujmovits. The 55-year-old, so far the only German who has scaled all 14 eight-thousanders, wants to succeed in his eighth attempt climbing Everest without supplemental oxygen. In his successful attempt in fall 1992, Ralf had used a breathing mask above the South Col, due to bad weather. All other eight-thousanders he had climbed without bottled oxygen. His plan now: today North Col (7,050 m), tomorrow Camp 2 (7,700 m), on Friday Camp 3 (8,300 m) and on Saturday "hopefully towards the summit" (8,850 m), as Ralf writes to me: "I am confident, I feel good and I think that the extremely warm temperatures (probably minus 20 degrees Celsius) might help me."

Summit successes in the Karakoram
The Karakoram remains unpredictable. The climbing season in Pakistan is slowly but surely coming to an end – and the number of summit successes is manageable. On Nanga Parbat the Spaniard Ferran Latorre, the Frenchman Hélias Millerioux and the Bulgarian Bojan Petrov reached the highest point at 8,125 meters. "Seven intense days, but it was worth it," tweeted Latorre (see also the video below). It was the 13th eight-thousander for him, he climbed all of them without bottled oxygen. Now only Mount Everest is still missing in the collection of the 45-year-old. Ferran wants to tackle it in spring 2017. Bojan Petrov has scaled so far eight of the 14 highest mountains in the world. Nanga Parbat was after Annapurna and Makalu his third eight-thousander this year.

Gasherbrum I, also called Hidden Peak
Things didn't go well on the eight-thousanders in Karakorum this summer. "It was just too hot, and the conditions were too dangerous", the German mountaineer Billi Bierling, who had tried unsuccessfully to climb Broad Peak, wrote to me. This mountain was scaled only twice this season: by the Argentine Mariano Galvan and Andrzej Bargiel from Poland, both climbed solo. Bargiel also succeeded in skiing down to the Base Camp. A Pakistani high altitude porter died in an avalanche.
All K 2 expeditions returned home without summit success. 13 climbers reached the highest point of Gasherbrum II. There was a fatality too: The Pole Olek Ostrowski disappeared on G II and was not found. On neighboring Gasherbrum I, so far – two Czechs are still on the mountain – just a team of three was successful, including a German mountaineer, born in my hometown Cologne.

NFL.com writer Albert Breer has listed a few factors that will impact Andrew Luck's decision on whether to turn pro or return to Stanford for the 2011 season.
In his column he wrote the following vignette about Luck.
Speaking of Luck, Stanford's stud QB, he's becoming a runaway favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the 2010 draft. The question now, as we mentioned, is whether he declares or not. And there could be an interesting dynamic at work there: He's expected by those who've been around him to factor in who has that selection in making his decision on whether or not to leave Stanford after this, his redshirt sophomore season.
His father, former NFL quarterback and current West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck, is expected to be pretty involved in all of this as well. So keep an eye on that race for the first pick in December, and keep your memories from 2004 fresh. That was when Eli and Archie Manning orchestrated the son's arrival in New York with the Giants. Something similar could happen again, but my understanding is that Luck would have no issue with returning to Stanford for another year.
One other factor that could dramatically impact Luck's decision is whether or not his head coach Jim Harbaugh is successfully plucked from the college ranks to be a head coach for an NFL team.
Dallas is the only sure fire team to be in search of a head coach and with labor uncertainty some teams may be less likely to pull the trigger on firing their current coach to hire a new one, not knowing if there will be games in 2011.
Knowing that the team that holds the top draft pick will impact Luck's decision though is going to make things tricky. However, West Virginia University, where Luck's dad is the athletic director is only four and a half hours from Buffalo (I've done the drive). Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are the only teams in the NFL that are closer and one of those teams won't be anywhere near the top of the draft board, nor will they be looking for a signal caller (Pitt.).
Unfortunately I'm doubting that proximity will hold any privileges.

"There are currently no tests planned for recharges or peer-to-peer payments on Messenger in India," the sources told IANS.
Facebook has no plans as of now to bring digital payment facility to its Messenger application in India, informed sources said on Thursday.
Factor Daily had reported that Facebook has begun a beta version of recharge payments for mobile phone and other prepaid services on Messenger.
"Mobile recharge option is a Facebook 'Marketplace' offering — which is actually going on as a pilot test which is right now available to only Android users in some regions," the sources added.
Launched in 2016, Marketplace is a user-to-user exchange platform for buying and selling goods with others within the community.
Currently, the peer-to-peer payment service on Messenger is available for its users in the US and the UK.
More than 1.3 billion people around the world are now using Facebook Messenger every month. The growth of Messenger now puts the app at par with Facebook-owned WhatsApp which also has over 1.3 billion monthly active users (MAUs).
WhatsApp, however, has rolled out the testing phase of its digital payment feature in India — a first such move globally — which will be officially rolled out to its over 200 million Indian users in the days to come.
When launched, the new payments feature is set to give a tough competition to Paytm and other digital payment services like Google Tez. The payments feature would take advantage of UPI (Unified Payments Interface) and include support by a number of banks, including the State Bank of India, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, and Axis Bank.


MARK Wright likes to keep his wife Michelle Keegan close to him at all time – as a social media update proved.
The 31-year-old reality star has been married to soap star Michelle since 2015 – but the pair have been kept a part due to their busy work schedules.
Mark has been keeping himself with presenting jobs in Los Angeles in the three years since he said "I do" to 31-year-old Michelle.
Meanwhile the actress has been flying all over the world for her role in BBC One drama Our Girl.
But Mark showed fans that he keeps his wife close with him at all times.
Sharing a boomerang video online, Mark showed himself sliding a snap of his wife in and out of his wallet.
"Never too far," he captioned the short clip.
Mark has spent the past day in Las Vegas where he was spectating the iHeart Radio concert.
And it seems the reality star was keen to relax while he was in Sin City.
"Uh! Bloated is an understatement," he complained as he shared a video of him lying in bed in a Vegas hotel.
"It's gone midday here in Vegas and I'm still in bed watching Friends and not planning on getting up any time soon," he continued.
"How times change, eh?" he asked – no doubt with legions of his fans sending him DM's in agreement.
Meanwhile wife Michelle has been updating fans on her latest fashion obsession and plans for her own weekend of relaxation.
The TV star took to Instagram stories to share photos of herself wearing a striking red jacket.

Aquaculture training and research examined
Joint review examines capabilities of State's aquaculture sector
Review is open for public comment and submissions
The Liberal National Government is calling for public comment on its review into the infrastructure and services that support Western Australia's aquaculture industry.
Deputy Premier and Training and Workforce Development Minister Liza Harvey said the review examined how to ensure the ongoing viability of the aquaculture sector and the training and workforce development to support its operations.
The report recommends the State's subsidised aquaculture research, advisory and fish stock supply services should be delivered under a new funding and governance structure.
"The reviews recommendations include a model for aquaculture activities that ensures WA has the right expertise and modern facilities for sustainable training and research," Mrs Harvey said.
"The review articulates the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders, such as TAFE colleges and the Department of Fisheries, and the best locations for aquaculture research and fish production, as well as training delivery that supports the industry's workforce needs.
"The recommendations also support the aims of the WA Training Sector Reform Project in ensuring training facilities are being used as fully as possible."
The Deputy Premier said the Liberal National Government had identified aquaculture as a growth industry to broaden the Western Australian economy and create jobs.
Fisheries Minister Joe Francis said the review, jointly funded by the departments of Training and Workforce Development and Fisheries, was now open for public comment and submissions.
"Public submissions will be considered before the most suitable model is developed for training delivery, applied research and fish production," Mr Francis said.
"The State Government has made a substantial investment to support the development of WA's aquaculture industry, and as the sector has historically faced a range of challenges, it is timely to undertake a comprehensive analysis."
The State Aquaculture Research, Training and Service Delivery Capabilities report is available at http://www.dtwd.wa.gov.au
