Arthritis is a common term used to refer a number of joint diseases. These diseases affect 53 million adults and $300,000 children in the US alone.
Arthritis is a very common disease and can happen to people of any age or even children. There are more than 100 types of arthritis and progression can differ from person to person. In some people, arthritis would come very slowly and mildly where is in others it could happen almost suddenly and cause intense pain.
For some people, the condition can come and go in phases.
Many times Arthritis is mistaken for a joint injury.
So, when should you see a doctor for arthritis? Since it is up to you to take care of your joints, you should see a doctor at the earliest signs of joint pain. It is best left to the doctor to diagnose if it is arthritis or some other injury.
We all know that prevention is better than cure. However, there is no sure shot way of preventing arthritis. Instead one can surely work on reducing the risk of getting arthritis.
Some types of arthritis have risk factors that are not modifiable, meaning there is not much you can do about it. One such factor is the genetic profile which is non-modifiable. Genetic profile of arthritis makes people more vulnerable to this disease.
Some forms of arthritis with modifiable factors are osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. These conditions can be well controlled by maintaining a healthy weight, choosing not to smoke and eating a healthy diet that is low in sugar and alcohol respectively.
A person with joint pain generally first visits a primary care physician. A primary care physician would do at top level diagnosis of the condition. If the pain does not go away or returns back, patients generally go and see a specialist referred by the primary care physician.
The specialist could be a rheumatologist or an orthopedic doctor. These specialists would then do a comprehensive examination in accordance with their specialty. The results of examination decide the further course of treatment.
Arthritis is best treated in its early stages. Treatment of arthritis can vary from condition to condition. In most cases, there is a certain amount of physical activity or exercise that is required to control the symptoms. In other cases, there is more dependence on medicines to treat the condition, especially pain management.
Once you are diagnosed with a form of arthritis, it is advised religiously follow the treatment even when the symptoms go down. In many forms of arthritis, seriously affected patients are the ones who do not follow the treatment when did joint pain decreases or temporarily goes off.
An arthritis patient should keep an active Lifestyle and maintain daily exercise routine as advised by the physician. This is the key to maintaining a healthy life with arthritis.

Krallice is the first album by the New York–based black metal band Krallice. It was released on compact disc in 2008 by the Canada-based Profound Lore Records, and on vinyl in 2009 by the American-based Gilead Media.

The album was recorded before Nick McMaster had joined the band so he only appears as an additional vocalist on the recording and the bass guitar was played by both Marston and Barr.

Recording
Colin Marston recorded, mixed and mastered the album in his studio Menegroth, the Thousand Caves in Woodhaven, Queens. Though the band initially intended to use a lo-fi approach, the music was too dense to come out successfully. The album was recorded on 2" tape with multiple microphones and guitar layers. Marston describes it as "pure and ambient" as a contrast to the buzzy trebley guitar and fake reverb found on some older black metal. The guitars were doubled with different tones and recorded in the same room as the amps so that feedback proliferates the recording. The bass guitar was run through two amplifiers, one slightly dirtier than the other. The drums were tuned as low as possible and recorded from a distance to give a loud sound with no reverb or triggers.

Reception

In a review for AllMusic, Phil Freeman called Krallice "an album full of high-speed shifts and sudden left turns, as guitar solos erupt out of the riff-storm like a demonic dolphin leaping from a lake of lava, or the band suddenly halts what had seemed like frantic, headlong momentum to begin playing an entirely different riff."

A reviewer for Pitchfork stated: "The results are hard to grasp, but strangely addictive. Krallice would have made a marvelous soundtrack to Pi."

Dead Rhetoric's David E. Gehlke commented: "a six-song stormer that is as frenetic and memorable as anything to pop out of the underground the last 12 months... Highly recommend, essential, etc. and so forth –Krallice is the USBM album of the year."

A writer for the Metal Detektor described the album as "a superb black metal record," and wrote: "With this debut, Krallice have risen to and arguably surpassed Wolves in the Throne Room like levels of elite American black metal brilliance, and once again shows that Profound Lore... is a truly elite label."

A reviewer for Burning Ambulance portrayed the album as "a six-song explosion of hoarse screams, avalanche-like blast beats and stunningly intertwined guitar riffs," and remarked: "Each track erupted in virtuosity—solos rocket out of nowhere, riffs took sudden sharp turns. It was breathtaking, but impossible to absorb or decipher without multiple focused listens."

Decrease the Gender Gap in Entrepreneurship with a Donor Advised Fund
Receive a Tax Deduction in 2020 by Creating a Donor Advised Fund Before December 31
New York (November 24, 2020 ) — No longer is investing in privately-owned companies reserved for the wealthy. Now, anyone, anywhere can harness philanthropic capital to make an investment in Chloe Capital's impact fund, which is dedicated to investing in women-led companies with diverse leadership teams > ChloeCapital.com/DAF
Chloe Capital will now accept contributions from individuals, families and foundations who create a Donor Advised Fund with ImpactAssets. All investments under this model are considered irrevocable and tax-deductible contributions.
Despite recent progress, the U.S. VC Female Founders Dashboard by Pitchbook still shows that less than 2 percent of venture capital in the U.S. goes to female founders. Further reports reveal that African American female founders receive just .2 percent of U.S. funding.
"The lack of funding to female founders is baffling, especially when study after study shows that women-led companies generate more sales, exit faster and produce greater returns for investors," said Chloe Capital co-founder and partner Kathryn Cartini. "Chloe Capital's new approach to investing allows anyone to do well by doing good. No longer is investing in startups reserved for the 1 percent!"
ImpactAssets is a Donor Advised Fund sponsor, and the leading impact investing partner for philanthropists who take on the world's greatest challenges by investing in the world's brightest ideas. Custom Investments, available through the ImpactAssets Donor Advised Fund, offer a personalized impact investing experience. Donors can directly invest into Chloe Capital's impact fund and leave the complexities of handling investment execution, custody, monitoring and servicing issues to ImpactAssets.
"This exciting opportunity provides donors with various benefits including tax advantages, and a way to maximize their charitable contributions. Returns from Chloe Capital can either be reinvested into our impact fund, or recycled for future granting into other charitable causes," said Elisa Miller-Out, Chloe Capital co-founder and managing partner.
Contributions can be accepted all year-round. To receive a tax deduction in 2020, custom investments must be made prior to December 31. Donors will also be able to track their investment online through ImpactAssets' Donor Portal.

Private Equity Firms Scoop Up Clear Channel for $18.7 Billion
November 16, 2006 1:38 PM PT
Two private equity firms have agreed to buy Clear Channel Communications (NYSE: CCU) for US$18.7 billion, ending weeks of speculation about the sprawling radio network's fate, including rumors of interest from Google.
Clear Channel said Thursday it would be acquired by Thomas H. Lee Partners and Bain Capital Partners, two giant Boston-based equity and buyout firms. The total value of the deal is around $26.7 billion, which includes the assumption of some $8 billion in debt that has been weighing down Clear Channel's balance sheet.
Cashing In
Stockholders in the radio firm will get $37.60 in cash per share, which the company said represents a 25 percent premium over recent average trading prices. The two firms reportedly outbid another consortium of private investors.
The company has until Dec. 7 to receive additional offers and then another month to negotiate final terms.
Clear Channel CEO Mark Mays — whose family members gave up rights to some equity claims to close the deal — said the agreement "provides substantial value to our shareholders." He added that the resources will enable it to "continue our business plan to provide exceptional programming to our audiences and value to our advertising partners."
Clear Channel, which runs about 1,100 radio stations nationwide, also said it would divest itself of some of its smaller-market radio station assets, selling off 448 radio stations in selected markets as well as its small TV broadcasting division.
The sale comes at a time when the radio industry is facing more competitive pressure than ever from satellite and online alternatives.
Speculation Frenzy
Clear Channel also operates an extensive billboard advertising unit and the private buyers appear to believe they can find cost savings and new market opportunities for the business despite the challenges. The firms did not say what their plans were, but such transactions often lead to assets being sold off or businesses reconfigured and re-launched.
"Clear Channel has tremendous long-term growth opportunities in both the radio and outdoor businesses," said Scott Sperling, co-president of Thomas H. Lee Partners.
The company is "an exceptional media franchise that is well-positioned to grow," according to Bain Managing Partner John Connaughton.
Consummation of the transaction could be slowed by Lee's involvement in other media concerns, though the deal is expected to eventually pass regulatory muster. Lee was a lead investor in a group that bought the Spanish-language broadcaster Univision Communications in September for $12 billion.
Does Google Fit?
The rumors of Google striking a partnership or even becoming an owner of Clear Channel came as the search and Web advertising giant seeks to leverage its role as a marketing outlet in more offline channels. The company recently announced a plan to feed ads to 50 major newspapers across the country and the company is reportedly hiring advertising sales executives with radio experience.
A partnership or other arrangement is still not out of the question, according to Blogging Stocks Analyst Tom Taulli. "Google needs to find new markets in advertising to keep its valuation sky-high," Taulli told the E-Commerce Times. "By hooking-up with Clear Channel, Google [would] instantly get a big footprint in terms of market share and advertisers."
Overall, however, efficiency drives profit growth in the radio market as audiences continue to shrink. The private investors may believe radio is a good bet, however, because it has traditionally been a profitable medium, and buying an established network of stations means little capital investment will be needed in the short term.
"We remain cautious on the radio group," said Jonathan Jacoby, an analyst with Bank of America. "Audience erosion will continue to cap top-line growth over the next decade."

Antenatal care is the care you receive from healthcare professionals during your pregnancy. You'll be offered a series of appointments with a midwife, or sometimes with a doctor who specialises in pregnancy and birth (an obstetrician).
Throughout your journey with us, we'll check that you and your baby are well, provide you with useful information to help ensure a healthy pregnancy (including dietary and exercise advice) and answer any questions you may have. You will also be given information about antenatal classes, including our breastfeeding workshops which you can book in advance via our Parent Education page.
If you have special health needs, your midwife, GP or obstetrician may take shared responsibility for your maternity care. This means they will all see you during your pregnancy.
Please let your midwife know if you have a disability that means you have special requirements for your antenatal appointments or for labour. If you don't speak English, let your midwife know and arrangements will be made.

Save Scarsdale Forever For All !: Anyone confused ?
Lika – a few people have called and emailed me about some postcards that it looks like you mailed out.
They are confused about why Scarsdale10583 is printed on the card.
Of course you are free to promote your work in whatever way you like – however, I would appreciate it if you would remove Scarsdale10583 from your mailing materials as it is confusing to residents.
Thanks for taking the site name off of your materials.
If anyone is at all confused, they are welcome to contact me. At this point they should not be at all confused as to how to contact me. Further I am sure all Scarsdale residents' cognitive abilities and educational backgrounds are fully compatible with standards on this site or on the postcard sent.
Still, I welcome any questions or comments in this country where free speech is so widely celebrated and this town where it is also held sacrosanct. So, there will not be any omissions nor censure implied or suggested be tolerated.

The town of Silloth, on the Solway Firth, was once a Victorian seaside resort and it retains some attractive buildings. There is an interesting man-made harbour and a vast area of greenery known simply as The Green which is used to host a variety of events throughout the year.
The docks here are over 150 years old. Beyond the docks, West Silloth Beach has a delightful expanse of clean sand, backed by dunes. There are fine views across the Solway Firth towards the hills of Southern Scotland.
The beach is teeming with interesting animal and plant life. Porpoises are sometimes spotted not far from the promenade which stretches out towards Skinburness. In winter a wide variety of migrant birds visit the nearby salt-marshes.


The Gist: When Governors run for president with Ben Casselman, and Joe Biden's speech.
Governors are always talking about the economic wonderlands they've created in their states, but does that translate to a national economy?
Many top-polling GOP candidates are former governors.
What part of a governor's economic impact scales at a national level? On The Gist, Ben Casselman from FiveThirtyEight offers a new criterion from his article, "How To Evaluate The Economic Records of Governors Who Want to Be President."

The less complicated route - a TTIP which only removes tariffs - would bring very limited gains. Both EU and US tariffs are generally very low, except for cars, chemicals and agriculture. Their removal would have only a small effect.
To avoid this, the EU's latest proposals on so-called Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) - tabled as part of the the TTIP talks - are intended to allow firms to demand compensation in very limited circumstances, for example where "fair and equitable treatment has been denied or contracts broken".
Both the EU and US are parties to the World Trade Organisation's plurilateral agreement on government procurement but the EU's big picture was for TTIP to trade access to European state agriculture spending for inroads into highly protected US procurement markets, particularly at the state level. But the US steadfastly refuses to concede to market access demands, due to its traditional and entrenched domestic lobby groups - the steel industry, small and medium-sized firms, and disadvantaged communities.
It's a missed opportunity. We could have increased transparency with a standardised e-procurement system and tender forms. Much more could be gained through harmonising definitions of integrity and conflict of interest concepts, along with strengthening corruption control measures. It's a win-win for improving the governance of public procurement markets - but negotiations have been dominated by intractable trade issues and the fears of ISDS.
In such a confrontational atmosphere, it is doubtful that a meaningful TTIP can be concluded. Sceptics' doubts may be exaggerated, but they still reflect genuine public alarm. The general confusion is highlighted by supporters of a UK exit from the EU, who argue both that the UK could sign a TTIP deal very quickly after Brexit, and that that leaving the EU is the only way to stop it. In any case, unless a deal is rushed through before the end of 2016, prospects for a deal are bleak. Of the likely presidential candidates, neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump are likely to make TTIP a top priority in a future US administration. Meanwhile, public opinion - and crucially the German government - move closer to outright opposition.

The Flag Tower of Hanoi () is a tower in Hanoi, Vietnam, which is one of the symbols of the city and once a part of the Hanoi Citadel, a World Heritage Site. Its height is 33.4 m (41 m with the flag).

History
The tower was built in 1812 during the Nguyen dynasty as an observation post to the Hanoi Citadel. Unlike many other structures in Hanoi, it was not destroyed during the French invasion (1896-1897), and was continuously used as a military post. It is now located in the Vietnam Military History Museum.

Architecture

Cột cờ is composed of three tiers and a pyramid-shaped tower with a spiral staircase leading to the top inside it. The first tier is 42.5 m wide and 3.1 m high; the second - 25 m wide and 3.7 m high and the third - 12.8 m wide and 5.1 m high. The second tier has four doors. The words "Nghênh Húc" (English: "To welcome dawn's sunlight") are inscribed on the eastern door; the words "Hồi Quang" ("To reflect light") - on the western door and "Hướng Minh" ("Directed to the sunlight") - on the southern door. The tower is lighted by 36 flower-shaped and 6 fan-shaped windows. The National Flag of Vietnam is on top of the tower.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 29, 2003--Transocean Inc. (NYSE: RIG) today reported a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2003 of $44.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, on revenues of $603.9 million. The results compared to net income of $80.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, on revenues of $646.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Results for the second quarter of 2003 reflected the effect of an after-tax loss of $13.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, relating to the early retirement of debt, in addition to after-tax charges totaling $25.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, pertaining to the impairment of assets described below. Partially offsetting these losses was a favorable resolution of a non-U.S. income tax liability totaling $14.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. Excluding each of the above-mentioned items, the company's net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $19.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.
As noted above, during the second quarter of 2003 the company recorded after-tax asset impairments of $13.8 million, relating to a note receivable from Delta Towing, LLC, the U.S. inland marine and shallow water support vessel business in which the company has a 25% equity interest, and $11.8 million, which pertained to five jackup rigs belonging to the company's Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water business segment, one mid-water semisubmersible rig and one self-erecting tender rig following the decision to remove the units from drilling service.
For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the company reported net income of $2.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, on revenues of $1,219.9 million. During the corresponding six months in 2002, the company reported a net loss of $1,206.4 million, or $3.73 per diluted share, on revenues of $1,314.1 million. Excluding the impact of the losses from the early retirement of debt and asset impairments, partially offset by the favorable tax resolution, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $28.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. Results for the first six months of 2002 included non-cash charges of $1,364.4 million, or $4.22 per diluted share, pertaining to the impairment of an asset belonging to the company's Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water business segment and the adoption in January 2002 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 142, Goodwill and Other Tangible Assets. Excluding these non-cash charges, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $158.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share.
The company's International and U.S. Floater Contract Drilling Services business segment reported revenues of $548.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003, a 3% decline from revenues of $562.7 million reported over the three months ended March 31, 2003. During the corresponding three months in 2002, segment revenues were $609.1 million. Revenues in the second quarter of 2003 were adversely impacted by a $16 million loss of revenue due to both the labor strike in Nigeria and the riser separation incident on the drillship Discoverer Enterprise. Segment operating income before general and administrative expense was $84.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to income of $144.0 million for the first three months of 2003 and $185.9 million for the corresponding three months in 2002. Field operating income (defined as revenues less operating and maintenance expenses) was $192.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, down 22% from $247.2 million during the first three months of 2003. For the corresponding three months in 2002, field operating income was $289.0 million. As expected, operating and maintenance expense in the second quarter of 2003 was significantly higher than first quarter 2003 due primarily to increased activity, including a seasonal increase in the North Sea, higher shipyard and maintenance expenses, the acquisition of ConocoPhillips' interest in Deepwater Drilling II L.L.C. and the net effect of various deferrals and amortization of costs. In addition, unexpected costs were incurred primarily related to the Discoverer Enterprise riser incident and the labor strike in Nigeria. Segment fleet utilization declined during the three months ended June 30, 2003 to 68%, from 69% and 78% during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively.
The company's International and U.S. Floater Contract Drilling Services business segment is expected to experience diminishing opportunities during the second half of 2003 for mid-water semisubmersible rigs in the North Sea, Brazil and Southeast Asia. However, customer inquiries for deepwater drilling programs in the Gulf of Mexico have improved in recent weeks and we remain optimistic regarding deepwater drilling activity in West Africa. The recent two-year contract for the semisubmersible rig Transocean Richardson for drilling operations offshore Ivory Coast in West Africa represents one of several development drilling programs possible in the region over the next 12 to 18 months. Finally, the company's non-U.S. jackup rig fleet is expected to benefit from stable-to-improving activity for the remainder of 2003 and into 2004, despite some current idle jackup rig capacity in West Africa. However, recently announced contract awards for three of the company's international jackup rigs, each for three-year terms, will result in reduced revenue for these units during the third quarter of 2003 when these rigs mobilize to India for anticipated late-October-to-early-November 2003 contract commencements.
Operating revenues from the company's Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water business segment totaled $55.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, improving 4% from revenues of $53.3 million reported for the first three months of 2003. Segment revenues during the corresponding three months in 2002 were $37.1 million. The segment's operating loss before general and administrative expense was $49.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to a loss of $28.5 million for the first three months of 2003 and $30.9 million for the corresponding three months in 2002. The segment recorded a field operating loss of $15.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to field operating losses in both the three months ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2002 of $5.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively. Segment operating and maintenance expense during the second quarter of 2003 increased from first quarter 2003 levels due mainly to costs associated with the well control incident on inland barge Rig 62 and improved activity. Segment fleet utilization was 42% during the three months ended June 30, 2003, up from 38% and 27% during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively.
The outlook for the company's Gulf of Mexico Shallow and Inland Water business segment remains uncertain for the balance of 2003. Although utilization among the segment's jackup rigs improved to 46% during the second quarter of 2003, up from 32% during the first three months of the year, utilization in recent weeks has flattened, while activity among the segment's inland barge fleet has declined. Recent dayrates for some of the segment's jackup rigs have increased slightly, aided by the continued contraction of the Gulf of Mexico jackup rig supply, while barge dayrates have declined. The company was recently notified by Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) that two of its jackup rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and a platform rig in Trinidad were awarded multi-year contracts for work offshore Mexico. The contracts for jackup rigs RBF 205 and RBF 206 are expected to begin during the fourth quarter of 2003, while the contract for platform rig Cliffs #3 is expected to commence during the third quarter of 2004.
The company also reported that cash flow from operations was $114.4 million and $305.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents declined to $714.0 million at June 30, 2003 from $1,520.4 million at March 31, 2003, following cash paid for debt repayments and retirements totaling $871.4 million during the second quarter of 2003.
The company anticipates a difficult earnings environment over the remainder of 2003. The company has previously noted that a decrease in earnings can substantially increase its effective tax rate due in part to the effect of operations in countries with revenue-based taxes. The deterioration in 2003 profitability is now expected to result in an effective tax rate of approximately 38% on 2003 earnings, excluding the impact of the above-described asset impairments and debt retirement loss. The application of the higher rate to earnings for the first six months of 2003 resulted in a charge for income taxes in the second quarter significantly higher than previously anticipated, offset by the tax benefits relating to the asset impairments, debt retirement loss and favorable resolution of the non-U.S. income tax liability.

Notre Dame at Boston College: Who, what, when, where, why and by how much?
WHO? Notre Dame at Boston College. To some Irish fans, this game is the most important of the season. To others, it is merely a blip on the radar. Such is one of the more interesting dichotomies found within a nationwide fan base. Out west, Notre Dame fans count USC and Michigan as their top rivals. On the Atlantic seaboard, Boston College typically replaces USC in that description.
Rather than one be right and the other wrong, this is simply a result of who people share offices with, play softball against or mow the lawn next to. Even in a flat world, in-person bragging rights are the most-relished.
WHAT? Both 1-1 and seeking a return to winning, the unexpected result would drastically shift each season's direction. An Eagles win would give them momentum before traveling to face defending-champion Clemson while it would dash just about any version of optimism or even pragmatism for Notre Dame's 2017.
WHEN? 3:30 p.m. ET. To repeat: 3:30 in the afternoon by the eastern clock, noon-thirty by the Pacific clock. This bears continued reminder since this game was initially scheduled for hours earlier but was moved less than a week ago due to Hurricane Irma's rescheduling effects.
WHERE? Alumni Stadium, Chestnut Hill, Mass., just outside of Boston, though the ride on the T may take more than an hour.
ESPN will broadcast the game. Presumably, any Watch ESPN app access or browser tuned to espn.com/watch should find it, as well.
WHY? Aside from the ACC agreement binding the Irish to a handful of matchups per season on a rotating basis, this game always brings back memories of a Boston College victory in 1993. Often forgotten in those conversations is the afternoon in November of 2012. That 21-6 win propelled Notre Dame ahead of Alabama in the rankings, creating a realistic path to a top-two ranking and a national championship game entry.
BY HOW MUCH? Boston College got walloped by Wake Forest last weekend. Not exactly a football powerhouse, losing to the Demon Deacons at all will create large spreads in Vegas' eyes the following week. Falling at home to Wake Forest only amplifies that effect.
Thus, this game opened at 14.5, soon settling at 13.5 with a combined points total over/under of 51. Those projections equal a 32-19 final.
The Eagles should not sniff 20 points. Reaching double digits would be an accomplishment this weekend. More than the Irish offense exploding to produce a rout, it is the limited Boston College attack Vegas, and this space, looks at in expecting a boring fourth quarter.
Notre Dame 38, Boston College 6.
Former Notre Dame LB Jaylon Smith earned a game ball in his NFL debut, 20 months after that gruesome knee injury.
Set aside 20-plus minutes for this short "30 for 30" on Pres. George W. Bush throwing out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium in Game Three of the 2001 World Series fewer than two months after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Former Irish head coach Bob Davie is under investigation at New Mexico due to allegations of player mistreatment.
Nick Martin is going to do alright as an NFL center.
A Georgia Congressman flew up to South Bend to watch last week's football game. Some would say getting out of Irma's path would make sense. Others criticized his decision to leave his district.
Stewart Mandel delivered a level-headed, even reasonable, take on Irish football in his Monday recap of the weekend.
The legendary Faux Pelini answered one of life's great questions, does God love Notre Dame football?

Paul Whelan's twin brother speaks out on US proposal to secure his release with Brittney Griner
(NEW YORK) — The family of former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan, who has been detained in Russia for more than three years, said they now have "a little bit of hope" after learning that the United States has offered a prisoner swap to bring home Whelan as well as another jailed American, professional basketball player Brittney Griner.
"The offer that the U.S. government has made — and extraordinarily made public — is super. Hopefully the Russian government will take the concessions that have been made and allow Paul to come home," Paul Whelan's twin brother, David Whelan, told ABC News' Robin Roberts during an interview Thursday on Good Morning America.
It's the first time the Whelan family has spoken out since U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Wednesday that he will hold a call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov "in the coming days" and a critical topic of discussion will be securing Whelan and Griner's freedom. Blinken revealed that the U.S. government had already "put a substantial proposal on the table weeks ago to facilitate their release" and remains hopeful for a breakthrough on their cases.
Three sources familiar with the offer confirmed to ABC News that the U.S. had proposed exchanging convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout in order to secure Griner and Whelan's release from Russia. CNN was first to report this plan.
"We speak to people in the State Department and the National Security Council on a regular basis, but not to this level of detail. I think we were all taken by surprise yesterday when the announcement was made," David Whelan said. "And it's nice also to know that the offers are being made — that perhaps this is the only one that's been made public, but there may have been other offers made in the past by the U.S. government."
Paul Whelan, a 52-year-old former Marine and Michigan-based corporate security executive, has been held in Russia since his December 2018 arrest on espionage charges, which both he and the U.S. government claim are false.
Griner, a 31-year-old Houston native and star center for the Phoenix Mercury, was returning to Russia to play in the WNBA's offseason when she was detained at Sheremetyevo International Airport in the Moscow suburb of Khimki on Feb. 17, after being accused of having vape cartridges containing hashish oil, which is illegal in the country. The two-time Olympic gold medalist has been held in Russia ever since and is currently on trial for drug charges.

IEA says 3-fold or greater increase in biofuels possible by 2040
By Susanne Retka Schill | November 13, 2015
The International Energy Agency released its latest World Energy Outlook 2015, saying there are clear signs that an energy transition is under way. The report finds that the plunge in oil prices has set in motion the forces that lead the market to rebalance, and cautions that strong direction is needed from the upcoming United Nations conference on climate change in Paris, COP2.
"It would be a grave mistake to index our attention to energy security to changes in the oil price," said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol. "Now is not the time to relax. Quite the opposite: a period of low oil prices is the moment to reinforce our capacity to deal with future energy security threats."
The World Energy Outlook 2015 examines all energy sectors, looking at global energy trends to 2014, the oil market, natural gas, unconventional gas, coal, power, renewables and energy efficiency, along with a section discussing energy in India today. Each sector is analyzed under three scenarios, with current and new policies, as well as a more aggressive 450 Scenario that would result in greater greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. It also examines the impact of low oil prices.
In the New Policies Scenario, renewables meet around 35 percent of the total growth in primary energy demand, the report says. "By 2040, renewable energy accounts for one-third of total electricity generation, one-sixth of heat demand and more than 5 percent of all transport fuel consumption." The New Policies Scenario assumes that government support for biofuels through blending mandates generally persists. "Biofuel blending mandates are now in place in around 60 countries and, in the New Policies Scenario, demand for biofuels in transport is projected to triple over the Outlook period, exceeding 4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (mboe/d) by 2040." That would be up from 1.5 mboe/d today and would be 70 percent ethanol, with the remainder biodiesel. The report projects investments in biofuels supply will average $15 billion per year over the period, and remain concentrated in the U.S., Brazil and EU, with some expansion in China and India. That will have plunged from the 2007 high of $27 billion, although higher than the $4.6 billion average per year from 2010-'13.
The 450 Scenario projects the impact of "much stronger policy interventions to address climate change [that] leads to a peak in oil demand by 2020," the report says. Projections for world biofuels demand under the 450 Scenario call for 2.1 mb/d in 2020 and rising to 9.4 mb/d in 2040. Under that scenario, by 2040 world oil demand drops to 74.1 mb/d.
In 2013, the global biofuels share of total transport fuels is 3 percent. Under the different scenarios, current policies are projected to lead to biofuels rising to a 4 percent in 2025 and 5 percent in 2040. Under its New Policies Scenario the 2025 projections at 4 percent is the same, but the 2040 projection rises to 6 percent. Under the more aggressive 450 Scenario, the 2025 projection if 7 percent and the 2040 projection is 18 percent.
The 718-page report delves deeply into the projections for each scenario in each energy sector. The beginning chapters, however, analyze the findings in light of the upcoming Paris climate change conference. "The WEO-2015 scenarios demonstrate the huge impact that government policies can have on energy-related emissions," the report says. "The Current Policies Scenario sees the growth in energy-related carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions average 1.2 percent per year over the Outlook period, maintaining a broadly consistent pace through to 2040. Total OECD emissions in 2040 are 7 percent lower than 2013 levels, while non-OECD emissions are more than 65 percent higher. The growth in emissions is much slower in the New Policies Scenario, but total emissions still fail to peak by 2040. In both scenarios, therefore, the world moves further away from achieving its agreed 2 degree Celsius climate goal, but at differing speeds.
"In the 450 Scenario, the long-standing trend of increasing energy-related CO2 emissions is quickly halted and emissions then decline by more than 2 percent per year (on average), to stand at around 19 gigatonnes (Gt) in 2040. Key policy and technology drivers that underpin this change in direction include stronger support for renewables deployment in the power sector, CCS (in power and industry), carbon pricing, more rapid reform of fossil-fuel subsidies, and broader adoption and stronger application of energy efficiency policies and low-carbon forms of transport."

What if you want to extract someone else's password? Well, the process is quite easy as either you can install a custom keylogger software or you can create keylogger using notepad. And done worry as you do not need to be a professional hacker or a computer expert to create keylogger using notepad. In fact, you can create a keylogger even if you don't have many technical skills. But before creating a keylogger, let's see what exactly is a keyword and what it does?
Keylogger is a kind of mini software which runs on your system and keeps a record of every keystroke which is entered by the user and keeps an accessible record of that data in a log file. That log file is most of the time encrypted so only you can access it. However, these keyloggers are quite dangerous as your privacy is concerned.
A keylogger will track all the input data whether it is your login credentials, your important document, any story you're working on or key combinations which you're using while playing your favorite game.
This method of creating a keylogger in notepad is quite easy and straightforward. All you need is a working pc and a simple text editor like notepad which comes preinstalled with all Windows Operating systems. Follow these simple steps below to create keylogger using notepad.
1. Open Notepad. You can open so by searching notepad in the windows search bar. Commonly notepad also appears on the left side of the windows menu. After opening the notepad, you have to copy paste this code which we are going to give you below.
2. After pasting this code, you have to save the file with a.bat extension. Save the file as example.bat on your desktop. For this tutorial, we are using the logs.bat name.
3. Now you have to create a new folder with the name logs. Please note that the keylogger will only work if the folder name is set as logs, any other name and the keylogger won't work at all.
After creating the folder, copy paste the folder into the root directory of your c drive or other directly where your windows partition is installed.
4. So now you have successfully created your own keylogger with notepad. So its time to check if our keylogger is working or not. To do that, simply click on the log.bat file that you created and start entering a sample username and password.
5. Now you have to go to the root directory of C drive. You will see all the saved logs as text files. You can open them up and see if the username and password that you entered appears there or not.
Voila! You have successfully created a simple but functional keylogger with the help of notepad. Now you can use it to prank your friends.
So, guys, this is how you can create keylogger using notepad. This might be a new thing for you, so try to follow the steps carefully in order to make it work. After building it, you can use to prank your friends and show them that you can tell the username and password which they are entering in the batch file.
However, this is a pretty basic type of keylogger which is capable of only a few and limited tasks like storing usernames and passwords. However, there are many advanced keyloggers available in the market which can track almost anything with an invisible batch file which is active all the time while the user is using their PC.
These professional keyloggers often support of sharing that logs data over the network without user concerns. So, these might be very risky for you so make sure you don't have such malicious programs lying around in your PC system.
