A group of astronomers has recently found a huge neutron star using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) and the star is found to be located 4,600 light-years from Earth. This new object is on the verge of existence as it has almost reached the highest mass level that a neutron star can. The neutron stars are basically the debris of massive stars that have gone supernova. These are really dense objects to be found in the Universe. A sugar-cube sized neutron star would weight almost 100 million tons on Earth. The interiors of these stars are still being scrutinized by the astronomers using the National Science Foundation’s GBT.
The NANOGrav Physics Frontiers Center researchers have found a rapidly rotating millisecond pulsar, named J0740+6620, to be the most massive neutron star to exist. It is almost 2.17 times the mass of our Sun and rotating at a speed of 30 Kilometers across. This is the maximum limit an object can get to despite crashing into a black hole. The neutron stars are ginormous atomic nuclei that have weird internal properties. The twin beams of radio waves being emitted from the magnetic poles of the pulsars turn the space into a lighthouse. The speed of rotation of the pulsars helps the astronomers use it as a cosmic comparable to atomic clocks. The masses of the stellar object and theory of general relativity in space can be well understood using the nature of spacetime.
The binary system helps astronomers measure the masses of the two stars. The pulsar speeding behind the white dwarf tends to cause a delay in the signal. This is known as Shapiro Delay. The white dwarf has its gravity pulling the space around it and this tends to push the pulses a little further from the distortions of spacetime caused by the white dwarf. This can help calculate the masses of the two bodies. The GBT has shown the neutron stars to have its dense interiors become so extreme that even the gravitational force overpowers the ability of neutrons to resist further collapse. On a similar note, the researchers have been able to decode a rare pattern in the X-ray bursts released by a neutron-star system that is approximately 16,300 light-years away. MAXI J1621−501, the star system, is an unusual point in space emitting unpredictable X-rays that was mentioned in the data presented by the “Swift/XRT Deep Galactic Plane Survey.”

The Childfree Talk discusses the inherent sexism in people who tell women that they’ll regret not having children.
Here’s a question. Why isn’t this prediction ever made at people who are men?
Maybe because when men assert something, people believe that they’ve thought the matter through, and made their minds up, and that to challenge their convictions would be hideously rude and pointless. He doesn’t want kids, and who else gets a say in that? Nobody.
Meanwhile, women’s brains – and their choices – belong to everybody but them.
Why do some people delight in the idea that a childfree woman will be ‘proven wrong’ someday? Why do they not only enjoy that idea, but also see it as a personal triumph – something to do with them?
And now, from the BBC, here is a case in point.
Many were supportive, both men and women saying they felt the same way. As for the negative ones, some said things she had heard before – that she would change her mind, that she was selfish and that the National Health Service shouldn’t pay for her to be sterilised as the money would be better spent on sick children. Then came the abuse.
“People sought me out to say they were glad I haven’t reproduced, that they’re pleased there won’t be any more people like me in the world. They cast aspersions on my mum and said I need psychological help,” Brockwell says.

Visual Tool Setter for Small-Diameter Holes
The Marposs Mida visual tool setter (VTS) is designed to measure and verify small-diameter cutting tools with micron accuracy.
Edited by Julianne Mobilian
The Marposs Mida visual tool setter (VTS) is designed to measure and verify small-diameter cutting tools with micron accuracy. The VTS measurement system helps to manage micro tools that can be incorrectly mounted in the toolholder or spindle due to small chips. Using a visual system that incorporates a CCD camera to capture images, the system calculates parameters such as tool tip position, tool diameter, tool runout and cutter radius with the tool at full rotational speed in the spindle. When the tool rotation is stopped or is run at slow speed, the VTS unit can be used as a standard microscope directly on the machine. The system offers 0.1-micron resolution, and is capable of measuring tools ranging from 10 microns to approximately 40 mm in diameter with a repeatability of 0.2 microns.
The VTS communicates with the machine tool CNC with a PC via Ethernet connection. Macros developed for use with the system keep the tool within the measurement area, acquire tool images, calculate geometry and automatically write data into the CNC tool table. The unit is equipped with a double-protection system that enables the device to function within the machine tool working area. The system is designed to filter any dirt remaining attached to the tool surface to reduce measurement errors.

What Are the Different Treatments for Spinal Stenosis?
Treatments for spinal stenosis can range from exercise and over the counter NSAIDs to corticosteroid injections and nerve block injections. The types of treatment recommended for spinal stenosis is dependent on the severity of a patient’s pain and symptoms.
Spinal stenosis, a condition that’s incurable and primary effects people over the age of 50, can be alleviated or halted when significant lifestyle changes are adopted early. Patients who are just beginning to experience the effects of spinal stenosis can potentially achieve significant improvement by exercising and stretching.
What Is Spinal Stenosis and Who Gets It?
The spinal column – the narrow channel that cradles and protects the nerves running down your spine – can narrow over time. This narrowing can be caused by bone spurs or even osteoarthritis. Eventually the nerves in the spinal column can begin to be pinched, resulting in back or neck pain, muscle weakness, tingling or numbness.
Spinal stenosis most frequently occurs in the neck (cervical stenosis) or low back (lumbar stenosis). In extreme cases orthopaedic doctors might recommend surgery to create additional room in the spinal canal, but most patients rely on pain management techniques for relief.
How Does Exercise Help With Something Like Spinal Stenosis?
While it’s true you can’t exercise away bone spurs, exercise can alleviate some of the pressure that might be contributing to compression. Improved flexibility and stronger muscles in the back and core may help prevent muscle tightening that torques the spine and puts added pressure on an already narrowing spinal column.
Some exercises are better for certain types of spinal stenosis. For example, if you have lumbar stenosis, you’ll want to focus on exercises targeting low back muscles. Lumbar flexion exercises are intended to take pressure off spinal nerves, which is the ultimate goal when trying to alleviate spinal stenosis.
Lumbar Stenosis Exercises
As with many physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises, it’s best to start doing them with an experienced physical therapist. You want to make sure you’re performing spinal stenosis exercises safely and cutting exercises out of your routine if they don’t work for you.
Some spinal stenosis suffers experience increased pain symptoms after lumbar flexion exercises. It’s recommended you wait 60 seconds after performing the exercise to see if your symptoms abate. If the increased tingling or back and leg pain doesn’t go away after 60 seconds, that particular lumbar flexion exercise might not be best for you.
Double knee to chest stretch: This lumbar flexion exercise involves lying on your back with your knees bent and soles of your feet on the floor. Slowly bring your knees up from a bent position to your chest and grab them with your hands. Hold the position for two seconds and then release your knees back to a bent position.
Seated lumbar flexion: This seated alternative requires you to bend forward slowly to put the palms of your hands on the floor. Then you hold the fully bent position for two seconds before returning to an upright position.
Standing lumbar flexion: Bend forward from a standing position and try to touch your toes (or as close as you can get). Hold that position for two seconds before standing up straight.
A physical therapist might also recommend various core strengthening and hip strengthening exercises, as both can help your muscles better support your spine. Pelvic lifts are commonly recommended since they exercise both abdominal and hip muscles.
Various cardio exercises are also good for spinal stenosis. The problem for many people with spinal stenosis is their pain makes exercising difficult. It’s often necessary for patients to slowly build up their aerobic fitness to the level where they can get back to walking, biking or swimming.
Restoring mobility to the point where you can begin to make meaningful progress on fitness isn’t always easy. That’s one of the reasons patients dealing with spinal stenosis frequently benefit from combining corticosteroid or nerve block injections with professional physical therapy. This combination of treatments may help you develop a foundation from which you can make your own progress toward managing spinal stenosis pain.
Don’t Struggle With Spinal Stenosis on Your Own
Like with many back pain conditions, spinal stenosis might be difficult to manage on your own.
Medical intervention isn’t always necessary, especially if you’re still healthy and flexible enough to manage pain with NSAIDs and perform your own abdominal and hip muscle exercises. If that’s not cutting it, don’t hesitate to call the team at Non-Surgical Orthopaedics.
We provide exceptional diagnostic services to identify the source of your pain. Our pain management specialists also partner with skilled physical therapists in the Marietta and Carrolton area to offer comprehensive spinal stenosis treatment solutions.

Seattle Suburb Looks Into Video Surveilance for Park
MERCER ISLAND, Wash.
The Seattle suburb of Mercer Island is looking into using video surveillance to solve a recent string of vandalism at a local park. The parks manager for the city of Mercer Island is seeking a three-camera CCTV system for Island Crest Park that is motion-activated and records for up to 12 days, according to the Seattle Times.
Vandals have caused $2,000 in damage to the park in the past two months, including causing two fires, cutting down the American flag and slashing down batting cages.
The Mercer Island City Council will consider whether to fund the system, estimated to cost up to $8,000, next week.

The Egyptian Nonnus of Panopolis (5th century AD), author of both the ‘pagan’
Dionysiaca, the longest known poem from Antiquity (21,286 lines in 48 books, the same number of books as the
Odyssey combined), and a ‘Christian’ hexameter
Paraphrase of St John’s Gospel (3,660 lines in 21 books), is no doubt the most representative poet of Greek Late Antiquity.
Brill’s Companion to Nonnus of Panopolis provides a collection of 32 essays by a large international group of scholars, experts in the field of archaic, Hellenistic, Imperial, and Christian poetry, as well as scholars of late antique Egypt, Greek mythology and religion, who explore the various aspects of Nonnus’ baroque poetry and its historical, religious and cultural background.

A spokesman for the German Justice Ministry told the news website "Spiegel Online" on Monday that Justice Minister Heiko Maas planned to present fresh legislation on gay partnership to Chancellor Angela's Merkel's Cabinet on Wednesday.
The spokesman said the legislation was designed to grant gay couples more rights, closing the gap between the status of their registered same-sex unions and marriage.
Maas himself was quoted by Spiegel as saying that he planned amendments to a total of 23 pieces of legislation and regulations, which would grant registered gay partnerships more of the rights already enjoyed by married couples.
"This is a further step towards full equality," Maas said.
The changes that Maas is planning to introduce have their roots in the coalition agreement reached between Merkel's Christian Democrats and their partners, the Social Democrats, following the 2013 general election. While they did agree on several points designed to grant gay couples increased rights, they were not able to agree on changes that would give them the full rights of marriage. Maas told "Spiegel Online" that this would be "difficult" to do under a grand coalition government.
Maas' plans 'insufficient'
However, the changes that Maas is expected to propose don't go far enough for some.
The German government's anti-discrimination commissioner, Christine Lüders told the DPA news agency that Maas' plans were "insufficient."
"There is no factual reason not to make marriage available to same-sex couples," Lüders said.
She also called on the Bundestag lower house of parliament to take the initiative on the issue in a non-partisan manner.
"The right to marriage for lesbians and gays is a human right, it does not belong in party politics," she said, while also expressing confidence that if the issue was put to a vote, a majority of lawmakers would support gay marriage.
The parliamentary leader of the opposition Green Party, Katrin Göring-Eckardt said she believed that Friday's vote in Ireland would further the issue in Germany, telling the newspaper "Die Welt" that now "even Ireland has overtaken us."
Fellow Green politician Volker Beck described Maas' reform plans as "insufficient and unambitious."
The calls for faster change haven't only come from the opposition either.
"One would have to think that what the Irish can do, we can do too," Christian Democrat lawmaker Jens Spahn said." "The general population is often further along than we think."
62 percent in favor
In Friday's referendum in heavily Catholic Ireland, 62 percent of those who voted, cast their ballots in favor of enshrining the right to gay marriage in the country's constitution. Ireland's Justice Department confirmed on Sunday that it planned to start drafting same-sex marriage legislation this week.

I ordered this table online to save money- but was SO pleased by how it looks and functions I get to proud of myself for picking a bargain, too. Everyone who sees it thinks its an antique. I did have other people put it together- and it took 2 reasonably handy guys about an hour, but I am very happy with the commitment it took versus how great it looks. I've had it for 4 months and used it a lot- it functions well. Color is accurate, size is great.
My daughter is an artist and I got this for her birthday. She loves it and has always wanted one. I am glad I picked a table that came with a good chair with a back, as that is really important when you are drawing at a table for an extended time.

With reports that Korean shortstop Jung-Ho Kang will be posted for bidding by major league teams on Monday, the Mets are still "undecided" about whether they will enter the process, Sandy Alderson said Saturday night.
The posting fee to win exclusive negotiation rights for Kang is expected to be anywhere from $5 million to $15 million. Many at the Winter Meetings felt he was looking for a deal in the neighborhood of $24 million for three years.
The Mets have scouted the 27-year-old and internally seem split on the shortstop. Some scouts feel Kang will not be able to play shortstop at the major-league level and question whether his offense will translate here.
Kang hit .356 with 40 homers and 117 RBI in 117 games for the Nexen Heroes of the Korean Baseball Organization, according to Baseball-Reference. He was the league MVP.
Of course those numbers are appealing to the offense- and shortstop-challenged Mets, but also to most of baseball, which is struggling to produce offense. The Mets have said repeatedly that they will not hesitate to go into spring training with Wilmer Flores at short. There is a weak class of free agent shortstops and a very limited number of teams willing to trade a shortstop.

Amodiaquine is an active ingredient that is used to treat malaria. It is used as a mono- and combination preparation, in particular against malaria tropica, which is triggered by the single-cell parasite Plasmodium falciparum.
Amodiaquine is an active ingredient that is used to treat malaria.
Amodiaquine is an aromatic hydrocarbon. It belongs to the group of 4-aminocholines and is closely related to the active ingredient chloroquine. Just like chloroquine, amodiaquine is also used against malaria, especially malaria tropica.
Malaria tropica is caused by the unicellular parasite Plasmodium falciparum and is one of the most important infectious diseases worldwide. The WHO (World Health Organization) reports for the year 2008 of 243 million sick people and of well over 800,000 deaths. The main distribution area of malaria is in tropical Africa, but Asia and South America are also affected.
Amodiaquine was previously sold under the trade name Camoquin® in Europe and the USA. However, it is no longer in trade there, but is only used in areas with a high occurrence of malaria. The active ingredient requires a prescription.
The pharmacological mode of action of amodiaquine corresponds to that of the better-known active ingredient chloroquine. Both substances intervene in the reproduction cycle of the malaria pathogen Plasmodium falciparum.
These unicellular parasites live mainly in the red blood cells of humans and are transmitted by mosquitoes. If an anopheles mosquito infected with plasmodia stings a person, the pathogens first penetrate the liver. The so-called "liver phase" begins. In the next phase, the parasites pass into the blood and migrate to the red blood cells (erythrocytes).
In this "erythrocytic phase" the effect of the amodiaquins begins. The substance inhibits the crystallization of hemozoin. This occurs when the malaria pathogens break down the hemoglobin in the erythrocytes. If the hemozoin cannot be crystallized, the pathogen cannot obtain any proteins from it for its metabolism and dies.
Chloroquine used to be the drug of choice for malaria and was mainly used in the 1950s and 1960s. Today, however, almost all strains of Plasmodium falciparum are resistant to chloroquine. As a result, the active ingredient amodiaquine, which is also effective against chloroquine-resistant parasites, gained in importance.
Amodiaquine is used against the pathogen Plasmodium falciparum. This causes the malaria tropica, which is considered the most dangerous form of malaria. A distinction is made between the complicated and the uncomplicated course of malaria tropica. In complicated tropical malaria, the central nervous system or the kidneys are also involved.
Other organ complications can also occur. This form of malaria is always an emergency and requires intensive medical care. Amodiaquine is only suitable for the treatment of the uncomplicated tropic malaria. Amodiaquine is one of the drugs that work well on pathogens that are resistant to other substances. Recently, researchers are increasingly testing the use of amodiaquine in combination products. For example, it is combined with the active ingredient artesunate, to which there is also hardly any resistance.
Initial data show that the active ingredient amodiaquine in combination with artesunate is very effective and well tolerated. The main indication for the use of artesunate / amodiaquine is in the treatment of uncomplicated tropic malaria. The combination of active ingredients is mainly used when the corresponding Plasmodium strain is resistant to the standard drugs.
Amodiaquine should only be used for a short time. If the drug is taken for a long time, its breakdown products lead to liver damage and disorders in the blood-forming system. Due to the serious side effects, amodiaquine monopreparations were withdrawn from the market in Europe and the USA.
However, due to its low price and the good effectiveness on chloroquine-resistant plasmodia, it is still used frequently in non-European countries. In new preparations, amodiaquine is often used in combination with other active ingredients, for example with artesunate.
In these combination preparations, the amodiaquine can be dosed lower. No serious side effects have been observed with these drugs to date. Amodiaquine should never be used in people who already have liver disease or kidney damage.

Check-in the Beautiful ‘Starfish Kingdom’ at Rach Vem, Phu Quoc Island
More than 20 km from Duong Dong town on Phu Quoc island, Rach Vem fishing village, which is locating in the north of the pearl island, attracts a lot of visitors by the wild picture of floating houses and wooden bridges on the sea. This place is also considered the “starfish kingdom” of thousands of red sea stars because, in season, they come together in a herd, hidden under the clear water, and create a spectacle to hold tourists’ feet.
If you are familiar with the attractive destinations on Phu Quoc island such as Long Beach, Star Beach, Thom Islet, etc., you can go to Rach Vem fishing village and immerse yourself in a quiet, rustic space. Yes, a hidden gem that isn’t yet exploited for tourism too much.
The Best Time to Travel to Rach Vem
The dry season from November to April is an ideal time to visit Rach Vem. At this time, the climate is cool, sunny, and the waves are calm, helping visitors enjoy the most beautiful sea views. Furthermore, This is also the starfish season in Phu Quoc island.
In contrast, the rainy season from May to October is not the right time to check in the fishing village. During this period, the waves are strong and the water is cloudy so you cannot see the starfish. Besides that, moving to Rach Vem is also difficult. If you choose to go on this occasion, you should preview the weather forecast to make sure the trip more convenient and comfortable.
Different Ways to Going There
There are different ways to go to Phu Quoc island that you can choose. Then, depending on your location of staying, you will have 3 main roads to the fishing village of Rach Vem:
- Going from the center of Duong Dong town is the most popular direction. To illustrate, you just need to go straight towards ĐT973. Many people love this road because of its location near the airport with many resorts, eateries, restaurants, etc.
- From Vinpearl Phu Quoc, you take the way back to Duong Dong town. Before approaching the Cua Can bridge, turning left when you meet the intersection.
- Starting from Thanh Thoi ferry, you turn right to Duong Dong town, then Thom beach, and finally to Suoi Cai junction. This line is for those who take the ferry from Ha Tien to Phu Quoc Island.
To sum up, all three roads will reach the Suoi Cai – Ganh Dau junction. Afterward, you turn left, continue to run for about 6 km to reach the fishing village of Rach Vem. The passage to the fishing village is relatively difficult to go to, it’s quite dusty and bumpy.
Transportations on the Island
A motorbike or car is the popular means of transportation to Rach Vem. Indeed, many hotels or homestays offer motorbike rental for between VND 150,000 and 200,000 per day. In addition, a group of friends or a family can rent a car from VND 700,000 per day.
Things to Do at Rach Vem Fishing Village
Let’s get ready, a modest destination as Rach Vem has many attractions for visitors.
Taking Photographs with the Red Starfishes
As the nickname “starfish kingdom”, surely you will find here at the place a lot of red starfishes. Evenly, it’s the Chocolate Chip starfish, which is one of the most beautiful kinds of sea stars. Definitely, taking photos with the starfishes is an experience that shouldn’t be missed in “starfish kingdom”. It’s hard to find a herd of starfish on other beaches of Vietnam.
The sea in Rach Vem is not too deep. Particularly, in the dry season, it can be seen at the bottom so starfishes are also easier to see. Yes, you are welcome to take pictures with the starfish but make sure you do not bring them out of the water for more than 30 seconds. As they are sensitive to sudden temperature changes and can not breathe without water, they will die just a few seconds after exposing to the air. Thus, please take this note when you travel to this fishing village.
Swimming and Exploring the Raft House
The beach here is still unspoiled. Yet, the water level is not too deep, so it is quite safe for you to enjoy the activities on the sea. After swimming, you can explore the raft houses along the sea. Especially, the House of Love, with clear and clean water, is a popular place for tourists. Here, you can sunbathe and enjoy the fresh nature of the sunny and windy sea.
Enjoy the Seafood
In Rach Vem, seafood is caught during the day and processed fresh. Moreover, they have a fairly affordable price. Herring salad and crab fried rice are the must-try on the menu that you shouldn’t miss.
Some of the raft houses for seafood that you can refer to are Quán Con Sao, Sơn Hải, and Nhà bè Tình Yêu aka the House of Love.
In addition, hunting dawn, sunset, fishing with villagers, or squid fishing at night are also unforgettable experiences in Rach Vem that you should try. Some of the activities require the right timing so you must consider that.
Places to Stay for the Trip
Hotels and resorts in Ganh Dau or Cua Can, which is about 8 to 10 km from Rach Vem fishing village are the perfect suggestion for staying. In particular, I have some particular accommodations that you can consider as below:
Vinpearl Discovery Greenhill Phu Quoc

CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers are trading star running back Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers for four draft picks over the next two drafts, the team confirmed.
ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter was first to report the news that McCaffrey would be leaving the team. The Panthers later confirmed the news, following their initial tweet up with another thanking “Run CMC” -- the running back’s affectionate nickname.
McCaffrey was drafted by the Panthers with the No. 8 pick in the 2017 draft. The trade to San Francisco will return him to the Bay Area, which is where he attended college at Stanford.

The Panthers will receive four total picks for the Pro Bowler: a second-, third- and fourth-round pick in 2023 and a fifth-round pick in 2024.
“I’m forever grateful for all of the people who have helped make these past 5 1/2 years so special for me,” McCaffrey tweeted Friday morning. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Carolina, I will always love you.”
When the deal is completed, it will be the second time this week the Panthers have jettisoned a key offensive weapon. On Monday, wide receiver Robbie Anderson was traded to the Arizona Cardinals for two late-round draft picks.
Before Anderson, the Panthers also parted ways with former head coach Matt Rhule. It’s a lot of change for the team in just two weeks’ time.
McCaffrey’s trade will help the Panthers continue to build for the future, through a long season still lies ahead. He was the best player on the team’s roster and one of the most dynamic, game-changing players in the NFL when healthy -- which he has been through the first third of the season.
Though Carolina got some draft picks in return, they’re losing a team captain and fan favorite.
“We don’t have an offense as it is, so trading off our best option is very dumb in my opinon,” said one fan at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
“Yeah, not in favor of it at all,” said another.
Panthers General Manager Scott Fitterer has made it clear he’ll listen to trade offers on any player. The first for McCaffrey came a week ag; it was quickly rejected, but it wasn’t long before momentum built toward Tuesday’s trade.
The team didn’t land the first-round pick it wanted, but the return was enough to help the team next season and beyond, Fitterer said.
“We just have to make the right decisions,” he said. “This puts us in a position to be successful, now we have to execute that.”
As for what McCaffrey’s departure means for an already struggling offense, it isn’t looking good. Just last week, he accounted for 158 of the team’s 203 yards total.
“Christian is a great person, outstanding individual,” said Coach Steve Wilks, the interim head coach for the Panthers, at the beginning of a news conference on Friday. “We know what he brings from a football perspective but he’s just a good human being. Had the opportunity to speak with him last night, wished him well, and I know he’s going to do a great job out there.”
Wilks said he wasn’t worried about the future of his team’s offense.
“It’s an opportunity for other guys to step up and make some things happen,” he said.
He said he told his team to not get discouraged by the news.
“Don’t allow the outside noise to determine our outcome. Let’s create our own narrative,” he said.

Moammar Gadhafi is trying to strike a deal with opposition leaders, saying he will step down as Libya’s leader if they can guarantee him safe passage out of the country and promise that neither he nor his family will face prosecution, an official with the opposition said Tuesday.
Musa Ibrahim, a government spokesman, vehemently disputed the claim saying reports of negotiations with the opposition are “lies.”
Despite government denials, a member of the opposition says it has submitted counter-offers with several demands. Among them is a stipulation that Gadhafi has to immediately concede he is not the ruler of Libya, said Amal Bugaigis, a member of the opposition group called the February 17 Coalition.
The development comes as Libya enters its fourth week of bloody clashes Tuesday and there was little doubt that the situation had turned into all-out civil war.

“We’re waiting for the movie to start and it hit me. I realised that it hadn’t been since The Matrix that I was actually that interested in seeing a movie even though I didn’t know what I was going to see. It’s been a while since somebody has come out with such a big vision to things.”
The Reservoir Dogs actor further continued,
“Even the elements, the fact that dust is everywhere, and they’re living in this dust bowl that is just completely enveloping this area of the world. That’s almost something you expect from [Andrei] Tarkovsky or [Terrence] Malick, not a science fiction adventure movie.”
Interstellar, which starred Matthew McConaughey and Jessica Chastain found a rating almost equal to Quentin Tarantino’s movies (which are good). In other news for the director, Quentin Tarantino is currently working on his upcoming movie The Movie Critic.

lacto ovo vegetarian meal plan eating pattern. Just in time for you to start planning your meals and trying out your new fall recipes. This article provides you with all the tips and tricks to make your day an awesome meal-full one. The information discussed below is based on scientific evidence and expert opinions. So, don’t wait and check out the content now. Let’s say you are like most
people who want to live a healthier life. You are onto a good thing, eating a lacto ovo vegetarian meal plan offers great health benefits. Taking action is easier said than done, especially when it comes to changing the way we eat for our health and reducing the potentially harmful effects that many unhealthy foods can have on our bodies, but it is possible with the right knowledge and
advice. Vegetarian and Vegan diets help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, and lower cholesterol levels. So what are the health benefits of vegetarian diet? Vegetarian diets contain more whole grains, fruits and vegetables than non-vegetarian diets, which can be very good for your health. A vegetarian diet is low in saturated fats, cholesterol and animal protein, making it easier to maintain a healthy weight.
Lacto Ovo Vegetarian Meal Plan
Learn about lacto ovo vegetarian meal plan and how it can help you lose weight. The best thing about a lacto ovo vegetarian meal plan is that there are no limits for your daily intake of food. You have the liberty to eat all kinds of food that circulate in the market. Vegetarianism has really been on the rise. There are now even vegan athletes. The lacto ovo vegetarian meal plan consists of grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy and eggs that must be taken in a strict manner. Eating too many sweets can contribute to obesity and other health concerns.
Lacto-ovo vegetarians do not eat meat, poultry or fish, but do eat eggs and dairy products.
Avoiding meat? You can still eat a varied diet — a plant-based meal plan can certainly be interesting and inventive. And for those who want to consume some animal products, the lacto-ovo vegetarian diet is an option that includes plants, dairy products and eggs — though not fish, meat and poultry.
Types of Vegetarian Diets
A 2016 Harris Interactive Poll commissioned by the Vegetarian Resource Group, a nonprofit organization that disseminates information about vegetarianism, found that approximately 8 million adults in the United States call themselves vegetarians. Additionally, approximately 3.7 million U.S. adults are vegan; 4.3 million are vegetarian, but not vegan.
In general, those who follow a vegetarian diet totally exclude meat, fish and poultry. There are more specific types of vegetarian eating patterns, however, and the Mayo Clinic gives a good summary of the different vegetarian diets:
- Vegans (strict vegetarians) do not eat meat, poultry, fish or any products derived from animals, including eggs, dairy products, honey and gelatin.
- Lacto-ovo vegetarians do not eat meat, poultry or fish, but do eat eggs and dairy products.
- Lacto vegetarians eat no meat, poultry, fish or eggs, but do consume dairy products.
- Ovo vegetarians eat no meat, poultry, fish or dairy products, but do eat eggs.
- Partial vegetarians eat no red meat but may eat fish (pesco-vegetarian or pescatarian) or poultry (pollo-vegetarian).
There is also the “semi-vegetarian diet” — also known as a flexitarian diet — which is primarily a plant-based diet, but includes meat, dairy, eggs, poultry and fish on occasion or in small quantities.
Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian Food List
The USDA’s ChooseMyPlate states that the key to staying healthy on a vegetarian lacto-ovo meal plan is to consume a variety of foods and the right amount of foods to meet your daily calorie needs.
It advises following the food group recommendations for your age, sex and activity level to get the right amount of food and the variety of foods needed for nutrient adequacy. Nutrients that vegetarians may need to especially focus on include protein, iron, calcium, zinc and vitamin B12.
A lacto-ovo vegetarian diet is more inclusive than a strict vegan diet that eschews all animal products. Milk, yogurt and cheese are rich natural sources of calcium and are permissible to eat when following a ovo-lacto vegetarian meal plan. For protein, you have many choices including eggs, low-fat dairy, legumes, grains such as quinoa, fortified cereals, brown rice and oatmeal, nuts and seeds, Swiss chard and collard greens.
Vegetables can also supply necessary nutrients. For example, leafy greens like bok choy, broccoli, Chinese cabbage, collards and kale contain calcium. Vitamin D can be found in mushrooms, although the easiest way to boost vitamin D intake while on a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet is through fortified dairy products.
The American Heart Association recommends eating eight or more fruit and vegetable servings every day; a simple way to help get all of your vitamin requirements is by “eating the rainbow” through consuming a colorful array of produce.
Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian Diet Side Effects
The main concern with eating a vegetarian diet is ensuring you take in enough necessary vitamins and nutrients. People who follow a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet — and especially a vegan diet — may be at risk of getting insufficient vitamin D and vitamin K.
Although green leafy vegetables contain some vitamin K, vegans may also need to rely on fortified foods, including some types of soy milk, rice milk, orange juice and breakfast cereals. They may also want to consider taking a vitamin D supplement or multivitamin.
In general, when you eat a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet, eating a well-balanced diet consisting of a variety of fruits, vegetables and vegetable proteins will provide necessary daily nutrition for an active lifestyle. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans advises following a “healthy eating pattern” at an appropriate calorie level to help achieve and maintain a healthy body weight, support nutrient adequacy and reduce the risk of chronic disease.
Vegetarian Lacto-Ovo Meal Plan
An example of a daily lacto-ovo meal plan with foods from the lacto-ovo vegetarian food list includes:
- Breakfast: Bowl of steel-cut oats cooked in 2 percent milk, seasoned with ground cinnamon and maple syrup and topped with a handful of toasted walnuts and banana slices.
- Lunch: Spinach, zucchini and cherry tomato frittata and a green salad.
- Dinner: A medley of roasted root vegetables — examples include sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, turnips — served with quinoa and sauteed tofu.
- Snacks: A small portion of raw almonds, an apple or pear, or sliced cheese and whole-grain crackers.
What to know about lacto-ovo-vegetarian diets
A lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs and dairy but avoids other animal products. Some research associates vegetarian diets with health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and lowering blood pressure.
However, people should try to avoid too many processed foods, which can negate these health benefits. Instead, they should focus on eating whole foods.
This article defines what a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet is and looks at what the evidence says about its health benefits and potential risks. It lists what to eat and what to avoid and gives an example of a 5-day meal plan.
What is a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet?
A lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet excludes meat, poultry, and fish but includes eggs and dairy products. People commonly refer to this dietary pattern simply as a vegetarian diet.
The word “lacto” refers to milk, and “ovo” refers to eggs. Similarly, someone could choose to follow a lacto-vegetarian diet, excluding eggs but consuming milk.
People may follow a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet for ethical reasons, such as animal rights or to help the environment. Other people choose the diet for health or religious reasons, or simply as a personal preference.
As farmers do not slaughter animals to obtain eggs, milk, and honey, many vegetarians choose to eat these foods. However, some people who follow a vegan diet may argue that the dairy and egg industries do involve slaughter or other animal cruelty and that producing honey exploits bees.
A vegetarian diet that includes whole foods, fruits, and vegetables can help reduce a person’s risk of some chronic diseases. The following looks at what the evidence says about potential health benefits.
A 2019 review and meta-analysisTrusted Source indicated that people eating a vegetarian diet might have lower levels of the inflammatory markers C-reactive protein and fibrinogen.
According to the authors, these inflammatory markers are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. They also suggest that lower body mass index (BMI) scores among vegetarians may, in part, account for the anti-inflammatory effects.
Furthermore, eating a wide range of plant foods means that vegetarians may consume higherTrusted Source amounts of antioxidants, which are anti-inflammatory and beneficial to health.
Lowering blood pressure
A 2020 systematic review and meta-analysisTrusted Source concluded that there is a link between vegetarian diets and significant reductions in blood pressure compared with omnivorous diets. This may play a key role in managing hypertension.
The same review indicated that vegetarian diets are low in cholesterol and saturated fat and high in antioxidants, and these factors can lower blood pressure.
A 2017 meta-analysisTrusted Source of data from 14 studies indicated that a vegetarian diet could reduce the risk of diabetes.
The authors suggest that a lower BMI may contribute to the reasons for this, which also include eating risk-reducing foods such as whole grains and vegetables.
A 2021 reviewTrusted Source suggests that vegetarians may have better control of their weight in the long term and may adhere to vegetarian diets better than people who follow other diets, such as paleo, weight loss, or gluten-free.
However, the review pointed out that some studies have highlighted increased anxiety and eating disorders among vegetarians, raising the possibility that young people may adopt the diet to limit their food intake.
There are potential risks of a vegetarian diet, particularly for certain groups of people. There are also some myths about the diet’s nutritional inadequacies.
Inadequate protein myth
Some people have concerns that vegetarian diets do not provide adequate protein or amino acids.
However, a 2019 reviewTrusted Source indicated that vegetarians consume an average of 1.04 grams (g) of protein per kilogram (kg) of body weight, according to two large studies. This amount is higher than the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of 0.8 g/kg Trusted Sourcebody weight.
The same review also analyzed the amino acid profile of vegetarian diets. The authors concluded that when diets are at least slightly varied, choosing plant proteins with complementary amino acid patterns is overcautious.
Groups of people at risk
People of certain ages should be careful to ensure that they consume enough essential nutrients on a vegetarian diet.
The Dietary Guidelines for AmericansTrusted Source advise that young children and people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or chestfeeding should seek nutritional advice on following a vegetarian diet.
Depending on how many animal products they include in the diet, there is a risk that they may not meet daily requirements for nutrients such as vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Similarly, older people who may have limited cooking resources or access to healthy food may miss essential nutrients by following a vegetarian diet.
Groups of people who may be at risk can choose to take a vegetarian supplement. However, they should choose a product that does not contain a gelatine capsule.
Another potential risk of a vegetarian diet is that someone may choose more processed foods than whole foods.
The recent boom in plant-based diets means that many “junk food” alternatives are available with higher sugar, fat, and salt levels than whole food ingredients.
Eating too many processed foods can cause weight gain and feelings of lethargy and fatigue.
Foods to avoid
The United Kingdom’s Vegetarian Society defines a vegetarian as someone who does not eat any products or byproducts of slaughter. Therefore, people who eat a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet avoid the following foods and ingredients:
- meat and poultry
- fish and seafood
- insects or insect products, such as cochineal
- gelatine and animal rennet
- stock or fat from animals
Foods to eat
A healthy lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet includes the following foods:
- a wide variety of fruits and vegetables
- dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt
- beans and lentils
- nuts and seeds
- whole grains
- healthy fats, such as olive oil, hemp oil, or avocado oil
Example 5-day meal plan
Below are examples of what someone following a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet could eat over a 5-day period.
- Breakfast: oatmeal with a sprinkling of chopped nuts and a drizzle of honey
- Lunch: mixed salad with avocado, hummus, and oatcakes
- Dinner: bean and vegetable chili with brown rice and steamed kale
- Snacks: a piece of fruit or a boiled egg
- Breakfast: a boiled egg with a slice of whole grain toast spread with yeast extract
- Lunch: feta cheese salad with greens, tomatoes, red pepper, and walnuts
- Dinner: tofu stir fry with broccoli, cabbage, and carrots on buckwheat (soba) noodles

- Lunch: cooked quinoa with steamed broccoli and toasted cashew nuts
- Dinner: bean chili with sweet potato wedges and low fat sour cream
- Snacks: sugar-free trail mix or a chocolate protein ball
A lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet, which people usually refer to as a vegetarian diet, can be a healthy way to eat.
There are plenty of options for protein, including eggs and dairy products. Someone eating a varied diet usually does not need to worry about getting enough amino acids.
Research has associated vegetarian diets with health benefits, including lower blood pressure and a lower risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Certain groups of people eating a vegetarian diet should work with a registered dietitian to ensure that they get enough nutrients. Generally, people should eat mainly whole foods and avoid processed foods to stay healthy.
Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarian Diet: Benefits, Downsides, and Meal Plan
A lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet is a primarily plant-based diet that excludes meat, fish, and poultry but includes dairy and eggs.
In the name, “lacto” refers to dairy products, while “ovo” refers to eggs.
Many people adopt a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet to reduce their intake of animal products for ethical, environmental, or health reasons.
This article explains the benefits and downsides of a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet and provides lists of foods to eat and avoid, as well as a sample meal plan.
Research shows that a well-planned and balanced lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet can benefit your health in a number of ways.
May help prevent type 2 diabetes
Lacto-ovo vegetarians have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. That said, while eating meat is associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, the protective effects of vegetarian diets may be unrelated to a lack of meat
Vegetarian diets lower your risk of type 2 diabetes by increasing your intake of healthy foods, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts, and decreasing your intake of saturated- and trans fats
What’s more, they have been shown to increase blood sugar control and improve sensitivity to insulin, a hormone that regulates your blood sugar levels
Additionally, plant-based diets are high in fiber, which slows digestion and improves blood sugar control. Vegetarian diets have also been shown to decrease hemoglobin A1c, a marker of long-term blood sugar control
Can support healthy weight loss
Lacto-ovo-vegetarian diets can help you maintain a healthy weight or support weight loss.
Vegetarian diets are typically high in fiber and low in calories, which may support feelings of fullness and prevent overeating.
In fact, research shows that vegetarian diets help prevent and reverse obesity and obesity-related diseases
A study in nearly 38,000 people found that vegetarians had a lower body mass index (BMI) than omnivores. A higher BMI was associated with high protein and low fiber intakes, indicating that plant-based diets high in fiber may benefit weight loss
Improves heart health
Eating meat, certain types of fat, and refined carbs has long been associated with atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of plaque in your arteries that can lead to heart disease
A vegetarian diet has been shown to lower your risk of — and even reverse — coronary artery disease. This is especially true when animal foods are limited, as is the case when you follow a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet
Plant-based diets have been shown to improve blood flow to your heart, improve blood vessel health, and reduce blood pressure — all of which may reduce heart disease risk
May reduce cancer risk
Vegetarian diets have been associated with a reduced risk of various cancers. A review of 96 studies found that vegetarians had an 8% lower risk of death from cancer compared with omnivores
Research shows that your cancer risk can be significantly reduced by eating a diet rich in plant foods like fruits and vegetables. Plus, some research suggests that diets high in red- and processed meat can increase your risk of certain cancers
May lower gallstone risk
Lacto-ovo vegetarians have a lower risk of gallstone disease, a condition in which hard, stone-like pieces of cholesterol or bilirubin form in your gallbladder, block your bile duct, and cause pain.
A 6-year study in 4,839 people found that non-vegetarians had a 3.8 times higher risk of developing gallstone disease than vegetarians. This may be due to the lower cholesterol intake of those on vegetarian diets
Following a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet may support healthy weight loss, benefit your heart health, and lower your risk of certain cancers, type 2 diabetes, and gallstones.
Downsides and considerations
Although a vegetarian diet offers many health benefits, proper planning is essential to prevent adverse health effects.
Below are some factors to consider when adopting a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet.
The potential need for supplements
A vegetarian diet can be nutritionally adequate, but extra attention should be paid to your intakes of iron, protein, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. Dietary supplements may be recommended if food sources of these nutrients are lacking
Protein is essential for good health. Vegetarian sources include eggs, dairy, beans, peas, lentils, tofu, grains, nuts, and seeds. Foods rich in the amino acid lysine — a building block of protein often lacking in plant-based diets — include legumes, nuts, seeds, and eggs
Iron transports oxygen in your body. Vegetarians may need 1.8 times more iron than omnivores. Vegetarian iron sources include tofu, beans, lentils, fortified grains, almonds, and greens. Vitamin-C-rich foods, such as citrus and peppers, can boost absorption
Zinc supports growth, wound healing, and a healthy immune system. Some plant-based, zinc-rich foods include beans, peas, lentils, tofu, peanut butter, cashews, grains, and fortified cereals.
Omega-3 fatty acids include EPA, DHA, and ALA (a precursor to EPA and DHA). They support heart, eye, skin, nerve, and brain health. Taking an algal oil supplement and eating foods like walnuts and flax can help you meet your omega-3 needs
Importance of diet quality
With the growing popularity of plant-based diets, there are many vegetarian-friendly foods from which you can choose.
However, many foods marketed for lacto-ovo vegetarians are prepackaged and highly processed, meaning they can be high in added sugar, salt, unhealthy fats and oils, and calories.
Be sure to look at the ingredient list and nutrition label to decide whether these foods are right for you.
Lacto-ovo-vegetarian diets should be properly planned to meet your nutrient needs, especially for protein, zinc, iron, and omega-3 fats. Be sure to review the ingredient list and nutrition label to see if packaged vegetarian foods suit your health goals.
Foods to avoid
Those following a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet avoid animal-derived foods, except for eggs and dairy products.
You must look at the ingredient label of any packaged food to determine if it contains animal-based ingredients, including:
- Meat: beef, veal, lamb, pork, and processed meats like sausage, bacon, and hot dogs
- Fish: fish, shellfish like crab and lobster, other seafood like shrimp
- Poultry: chicken, duck, goose, quail, turkey
A lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet excludes meat, fish, and poultry.
Foods to eat
Base your diet on whole, unprocessed plant foods, as well as egg and dairy products, including:
- Fruits: apples, bananas, oranges, strawberries, peaches, melons
- Vegetables: broccoli, kale, bell pepper, spinach, mushrooms, eggplant
- Whole grains: quinoa, barley, amaranth, oats, buckwheat
- Eggs: whole eggs, including whites and yolks
- Dairy products: milk, yogurt, cheese, butter
- Beans and legumes: beans, peas, peanuts, lentils
- Nuts, seeds, and nut butters: cashews, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, peanut butter
- Healthy fats: avocados, olive oil, olives, nuts, seeds
- Vegetarian protein: tofu, seitan, tempeh, and vegetarian protein powder
Eat whole, minimally processed plant foods, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains, as much as possible. Also, include eggs and dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and butter, as you like.
Sample lacto-ovo-vegetarian meal plan
Here’s a 5-day meal plan to get you started on a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet. Adjust it to fit your tastes and preferences.
- Breakfast: scrambled eggs with vegetables and buttered toast

You can make many healthy and delicious meals and snacks using vegetarian foods. The sample menu above shows you what five days on a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet might look like, plus a few snack ideas to enjoy between meals.
The bottom line
A lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet is suitable if you’re interested in reducing your intake of animal products but not completely eliminating them from your diet.
This diet has been linked to several potential health benefits, including a reduced risk of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
Eating a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet can help you eat more whole, unprocessed plant foods, to which many of the health benefits associated with this way of eating are attributed.
Be sure to pay attention to your nutrient intake and read the labels on packaged vegetarian foods to ensure that your diet is aligned with your health goals and nutrition needs.
Health Benefits Of Vegetarian Diet
A healthy vegetarian diet has numerous health benefits. It is good for a lean body and for those who want to lose weight. A vegetarian diet reduces the risk of heart disease, keeps blood pressure under control, lowers cholesterol level and improves digestion. In order to maintain your health, you should avoid food containing/derived from animal’s meat. In vegetarian diet there are a lot of vegetables and fruits. These are good for health because they have phytochemicals, vitamins, fibers and minerals that work as antioxidants to maintain human health.
1. Boost Heart Health
A vegetarian diet has been shown to help boost your heart health in a number of different ways.
- Lower blood pressure
- Reduce risk of heart disease
- Lower cholesterol
A vegetarian diet may offer these heart-healthy benefits due to foods that are higher in fiber and unsaturated fats. Both of these nutrients help manage the body’s cholesterol. Plus, a vegetarian diet has lower levels of saturated fats, total fats, and cholesterol in the diet compared to meat-based diets.
2. Help the Environment
Eating a vegetarian diet can also benefit the environment. Animals emit greenhouse gases, resulting in a larger carbon footprint than vegetables or grains. In fact, a meat-based diet increases carbon emissions 2.5 times more than a plant-based diet. These greenhouse gases contribute to global warming and climate changes around the world.
In addition to contributing to greenhouse gases, a meat-based diet requires a lot of other resources. Animals need water to survive and grow. A single chicken breast requires over 140 gallons of water. In contrast, plants generally don’t require as much water throughout their lifetime compared to their yield. A study by the European Commission revealed that a vegetarian diet could reduce water consumption by 27% to 41%.
Finally, animals require more land than plants to thrive. Cattle, in particular, take up more agricultural land than other domesticated animals and crops combined! A vegetarian diet requires less than half of the agricultural land that domesticated animals need.
3. Prevent Type 2 Diabetes
A vegetarian diet may also help you avoid Type 2 diabetes as you age. In studies, sticking to a vegetarian diet was associated with a 35% to 53% lower risk of developing diabetes.
How can plant-based foods help reduce the risk of diabetes? Risk factors for Type 2 diabetes include obesity and fat distribution in the body. Fatty tissue causes the body to be more resistant to insulin. A plant-based diet reduces saturated fats and cholesterol, which can help reduce fatty tissue in turn.
4. Manage Weight
Plant-based diets can help you manage your weight, too. While this lifestyle choice doesn’t inherently cause weight loss, it can help you cut down on fatty tissues and empty calories so that you can better manage your weight.
However, a vegetarian diet could cause you to gain weight if your portion sizes are too big or if you eat more high-calorie or high-fat foods. To best manage your weight, you should follow a vegetarian diet tailored to your health and body composition. EatLove makes it easy to find meals with the perfect balance of nutrients to help you manage your weight while sticking to a vegetarian diet.
5. Keep Your Brain Sharp
Plant-based foods can help keep your brain healthy. Studies have shown that consuming more plant-based foods could be linked to lower rates of dementia, Alzheimer’s, and cognitive impairments. This could be because produce and whole grains are rich in polyphenols, which have been found to slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. However, further research is needed to determine the exact correlation between a vegetarian diet and cognitive performance.
6. Prevent Cancer
Eating a vegetarian diet could also help you reduce your risk of developing cancer. Plants contain phytochemicals that may help protect your cells from damage. They are also high in nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, helping individuals remain healthier. Plus, a vegetarian diet may help manage weight — as we’ve discussed — which is a risk factor for cancer.
Additionally, red meat and processed meats have been linked to certain kinds of cancers, including colon, rectum, prostate, pancreatic, and stomach. By eliminating these meats from your diet, you can reduce cancer risk.
7. Reduce Risk of Food-Borne Illness
Have you ever had food poisoning? Not fun. While eating vegetarian doesn’t completely eliminate your risk of food-borne illness, it does significantly cut down on the risk. That’s because meat, poultry, seafood, and fish are the common culprits in cases of food-borne illness. But don’t think that a vegetarian or vegan diet will keep you from getting sick. There are still plenty of bacteria and contaminants that can appear on your produce as well.

This article examines the economic impact of the Pirates major league baseball franchise on the Pittsburgh region, defined as Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Washington, and Westmoreland counties, by running two simulations using the 1994 Pittsburgh REMI Model to assess the impact of the Pirates on the local economy. Effects on the local economy are estimated based on the negative impact that would result from the Pirates leaving the Pittsburgh region. The Pittsburgh REMI Model is used to compute the indirect and total impact this would have on the local economy. In the first scenario, money that is currently used by the city and county governments to support the Pirates at Three River Stadium is returned to local taxpayers by lowering personal taxes in Allegheny County. In the second scenario, the money that is used to support the team is redirected by local government and is used to increase spending for other local public goods and services.
Much controversy currently exists in the City of Pittsburgh as to what the real impact of the Pirates is on the local economy and whether or not the amount of financial assistance the team currently receives from local government and the construction of a new, publicly-financed, $240 million baseball-only stadium can be justified. In the past, a number of reports have been written to analyze the economic impact of the Pirates on the region. A quick look at three of these reports is in order before proceeding with the main analysis of this article.
In the past, most reports on the economic impact of the Pirates on Pittsburgh found that the team had a substantial positive economic impact on the region. However, there have been serious flaws in the methods used in these reports, causing them to seriously overstate the actual impact of the team. In his report, Malloy (1979) estimated that the Pirates attracted $33 million in new economic activity into the region annually. He arrived at this amount by estimating the amount of spending by local and visiting fans at the Pirates' home games and on game-related activities and then by applying a multiplier effect to yield his results. However, Malloy counted all games and related expenditures, including those by local residents. In doing so, he ignored the impact of substitution effects on the local economy, i.e., a dollar spent to see a ball game by a local resident is a dollar he won't be able to spend elsewhere. Moreover, Malloy treated local, preexisting money the same as new money from outside the region by applying the multiplier effect to local expenditures as well as to money flowing in from non-residents. As a result, he greatly overstated the impact of the Pirates on the region.
In 1995, graduate students from the Carnegie-Mellon University Heinz School for Public Policy released a study recommending a new baseball-only stadium be built for the team because it would yield substantial revenues for local governments as well as generate significant economic growth Apllebaum et al., 1995). This study found the impact of the Pirates to be $52.9 million in the City of Pittsburgh and $93.6 million for the MSA. However, this study suffered from the same fatal flaws as Malloy's study by generously overestimating the amount of spending made by the team locally on supplies, etc. When all of the appropriate corrections are made to this report, the actual impact of the Pirates on the region falls between $15 and $24 million (Haulk, 1995:11).
In his 1995 paper, Haulk examined the competitive state of the Pirates relative to other major league franchises and estimated the total net flow of money into the region generated by the Pirates and found that past reports had greatly overstated the magnitude of the impact that the team had on the local economy. Controlling for local substitution effects and team expenditures outside the region and using a multiplier of magnitude 1. …
