I love vodka sauce anything ( I usually love vodka anything, for sure, but not while 7 months preg!! LOL ), so when this popped up on my google reader I immediately printed it out! I love making pizza, doesn’t hurt that Mike always gets fresh pizza dough balls down the strip at Penn Mac! 1.99 – best bargain in Pittsburgh!
I did say while we were eating how good this would have tasted in a wood/coal fired oven! It was sooo good :)
1 heaping cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
pinch of sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 small onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 (28-oz) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup vodka
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 lb. pizza dough
olive oil, for brushing
2 links spicy Italian sausage
1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Place a baking stone on the bottom rack.
Toss the tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and sugar. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet or in a glass baking dish. Roast the tomatoes, stirring every 5 minutes, for 15-20 minutes total. Remove the tomatoes from the oven. If you’re like me, allow the tomatoes to cool slightly, then remove the skins. Move the baking stone to the top rack.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes, and tomato paste, and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a simmer, and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vodka and cook an additional 5-8 minutes, remove from heat, and stir in the cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
Remove the sausage from its casings and cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Drain off fat and set aside.
Sprinkle a large square of parchment paper with flour and roll into a 14-inch round. Brush the edges with olive oil. Spread 1/2 – 3/4 cup of the vodka sauce over the dough. Don’t use too much sauce or the pizza will be soggy in the middle. Sprinkle with the mozzarella, followed by the spicy sausage, roasted tomatoes and Parmesan cheese.
Transfer the pizza to the preheated baking stone, and cook 10 minutes, rotating the pizza 180 degrees after 5 minutes. Allow to cool 10 minutes then sprinkle with the basil, slice, and serve. Pass the extra vodka sauce at the table for dipping.
Buffalo Chicken Waffle Fries March 30, 2014
Ok – these definitely do not count as low calorie ANYTHING, but these were so good to eat when having a few friends over on a saturday night! I pinned on pinterest just last week and knew they would be perfect for this weekend!
Waffle Fries, enough for a single layer on a sheet pan
1 cup roasted chicken (rotisserie works great, so does this freezer shredded chicken)
1/2 cup Frank’s hot sauce (more to taste)
1 handful grated cheddar cheese
1 handful grated mozzarella cheese
ranch dressing, for drizzling
chives, for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 425 degrees (or according to the package of your waffle fries).
Spread fries in a single layer on a sheet pan. Bake about 20 minutes, or as directed on the package.
Add the chicken and buffalo sauce and toss to coat. Taste and add more hot sauce if desired.
When fries are finished baking, remove the pan from the oven and drop spoonfuls of the chicken over the fries. Top with both cheeses. Return to the oven for five minutes.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with ranch dressing and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
Lasagna Bolognese March 24, 2014
I have been dying to make this recipe, and since it is still freezing here, this was a perfect sunday dinner! This, a delicious salad, and fresh bread with honey butter from Cenacolo? Perfect Dinner! Me and Mike did make the fresh pasta sheets for this, and it definitely made an enormous difference!! This tasted like something out of a gourmet restaurant. Never made a lasagna without ricotta cheese, but this will definitely be a keeper! Got this from the blog – Brown Eyed Baker – she is a fantastic cook, and from Pittsburgh! Does it get any better? :)
For the Béchamel Sauce:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2½ cups milk
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
5 cups your favorite meat sauce
1 pound lasagna noodles (fresh or store-bought)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1. Make the Béchamel Sauce: In a medium saucepan placed over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the flour turns light brown and emits a nutty aroma. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly. Once all of the milk has been incorporated, whisk in the nutmeg, and allow the mixture to come to a simmer. Once simmering, cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat, and add the shredded provolone a handful at a time, stirring until it melts. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper, then set aside and let cool to warm room temperature.
2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
3. Assemble the Lasagna: Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan. Place noodles in a single layer on top of the sauce (if you are using store-bought lasagna noodles, this should be 3 noodles; if you made fresh pasta, you’ll probably use 2 sheets and can cut to fit as needed). Spread 1¼ cups of the meat sauce over the noodles. Drizzle one-quarter of the béchamel sauce over the meat sauce. Sprinkle ¼ cup Parmesan cheese and ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the béchamel sauce.
4. Place another layer of noodles on top of the cheese. Top with another 1¼ cups of meat sauce, a quarter of the béchamel sauce, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese and ¼ cup shredded mozzarella.
5. Place another layer of noodles on top of the cheese. Top with another 1¼ cups of meat sauce, half of the remaining béchamel sauce, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese and ¼ cup shredded mozzarella.
6. Place the final layer of noodles on top of the cheese. Pour the remaining béchamel sauce over the noodles and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cheese and ¼ cup shredded mozzarella.
7. Cover the lasagna with a piece of aluminum foil that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake, covered, for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes before serving. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Note: This lasagna can be assembled, covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days before baking. It can also be frozen for up to 1 month. If the lasagna was cold, bake it covered for an additional 15 to 30 minutes, checking to ensure it is heated the whole way through.

text: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the developing placenta shortly after fertilization. In normal pregnancy, hCG can be detected in serum as early as 7 days following conception, doubling every 1.3 to 2 days. At the time of the first missed menstrual period, serum hCG concentration is about 100 mIU/ml, and peak levels of 100,000~200,000 mIU/ml are seen at the end of the first trimester. The appearance of hCG soon after conception and its subsequent rise in concentration during early gestational growth make it an excellent marker for the early detection of pregnancy. Elevated serum hCG levels comparable to those observed in early pregnancy may also be associated with trophoblastic or nontrophoblastic neoplasms such as hydatidiform mole, choriocarinoma, therefore, the possibility of such diseases should be ruled out before a positive hCG result is considered diagnostic for pregnancy. The hCG Visual Test Kits is a rapid test to detect the presence of hCG in urine or serum specimens in a qualitative format.

Jimmy Fallon Asks Sofia Vergara To Inhale Helium, When She Begins To Speak They Can’t Stop Cracking Up.
Sofia Vergara has an instantly recognizable voice, so when she stopped by The Tonight Show on Tuesday night, host Jimmy Fallon decided to take advantage of that. He requested that the Modern Family star suck helium out of a balloon and say names and phrases.
The “Modern Family” star was hesitant at first, but then she just couldn’t get enough. She began with a simple sentence: "My name is Sofia Vergara." Sounding like a high-pitched chipmunk, Vergara had the audience—and Fallon—in stitches.
“I’m so happy this is happening!” Fallon said.

Factors To Consider When Deciding The Timing Of Covid
Timing in relation to other vaccines:
- There should be an interval of at least seven days between a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and any other vaccine. This applies to both doses.
- This may affect the timing of the two vaccines medical professionals routinely recommend during pregnancy:
- Influenza vaccine, which can be given at any time.
- Whooping cough vaccine, which is ideally given between 20 and 32 weeks of pregnancy. The influenza and the whooping cough vaccines can be given together on the same day.
What Do We Know About How Covid
COVID-19 is potentially dangerous for all people. And while the actual risk of severe illness and death among pregnant individuals is low, it is higher when compared to nonpregnant individuals from the same age group. Those who are pregnant are at higher risk for being hospitalized in an intensive care unit and requiring a high level of care, including breathing support on a machine, and are at higher risk for dying if this happens.
If youre pregnant, you may also wonder about risks to the fetus if you get COVID-19. Research suggests that having COVID-19 might increase risk for premature birth, particularly for those with severe illness. So far, studies have not identified any birth defects associated with COVID-19. And while it is possible for the virus to spread from mother to baby during pregnancy, this is rare. Most often it is linked to having COVID infection two weeks before birth.
Is It Better To Get The Covid
Although you can get vaccinated against COVID-19 at any time before, during, or after your pregnancy, the sooner you get vaccinated, the sooner you are protected. The safer you are, the safer your baby is.
There have been reports of some women waiting until they are pregnant before getting vaccinated against COVID-19, in the hope of better protecting their baby by passing on antibodies to them.
While there is some early evidence that COVID-19 antibodies pass into the breastmilk and cord blood of vaccinated mothers, which may offer some protection to the baby , this has not yet been studied in depth and the levels of protection are currently unknown.
According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in America: Vaccination of pregnant people builds antibodies that might protect their baby. When pregnant people receive an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy, their bodies build antibodies against COVID-19, similar to non-pregnant people. Antibodies made after a pregnant person received an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine were found in umbilical cord blood. This means COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy might help protect babies against COVID-19. More data are needed to determine how these antibodies, similar to those produced with other vaccines, may provide protection to the baby.

Are The Vaccines Safe For People Who Are Pregnant
Evidence on the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy is growing, according to the CDC. A new report on early data from safety monitoring systems that gather information on people who were pregnant when vaccinated and their babies finds no concerns about safety. Another report based on people enrolled in the v-safe COVID-19 Pregnancy Registry who received COVID-19 vaccines before 20 weeks of pregnancy notes no increased risk for miscarriage.
The CDC continues to follow people vaccinated during different trimesters of pregnancy to better understand effects on pregnancy and babies.
Important points about mRNA vaccines
- When studied during animal tests, the mRNA vaccines did not affect fertility or cause any problems with pregnancy.
- In humans, we know that other kinds of vaccines generally are safe for use in pregnancy in fact, many are recommended.
- mRNA vaccines do not contain any virus particles.
- mRNA particles used in the vaccine are eliminated by our bodies within hours or days, so these particles are unlikely to reach or cross the placenta.
- The immunity that a pregnant person generates from COVID-19 vaccination can cross the placenta, and may help keep the baby safe after birth.
Important points about the Johnson & Johnson vaccine
Euronews: How Can We Avoid Vaccine Misinformation
Dr Mosina: Vaccine misinformation can have negative effects on peoples decisions to get vaccinated.
It is crucially important that not just pregnant women but everybody have access to trusted and evidence-based information.
The role of health authorities, immunisation experts and health agencies in providing this information is crucial. Media also has a major role to play in this. It’s extremely important that journalists get the information from reliable sources and help deliver it.

‘it Was The Best Decision I Could Have Made’
I received my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine in early March, the second dose at the end of March, and I had my son at the end of April .
I was always a strong proponent of getting the vaccine while pregnant, but once my OB/GYN said to get it, I booked my appointment. She told me that getting COVID while pregnant was definitely riskier than the vaccine. I also made my immediate family get the vaccine the second they were eligible to protect them and to protect me while pregnant. They were so thrilled once I got the vaccine. I had very few side effectsa sore arm for sure and extra tiredness, but that was the extent of it.
I would not look back with a second of regret on receiving it while pregnant. It was the best decision I could have madenot only to ease my anxiousness but also because it potentially passed on my antibodies to my baby. After I received it, I tried to share my experience with as many pregnant friends as possible, encouraging them to get the vaccine. I think it’s so important for people to be informed, especially while pregnant. Juliette Caspi, Philadelphia, PA: Vaccinated at 8 months pregnant
What Have Studies Found Regarding Fertility
Among other research, a study published in January by the Boston School of Public Health found that fertility of women and men was not harmed by Covid-19 vaccination.
In the research, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, scientists found that being given the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccines did not affect the chance of conception.
According to Prof Jones, suggestions that fertility may be affected by vaccination is anti-vax stuff that circulates on chat boards, but doesnt have any validity at all.
While there is no evidence that vaccination reduces fertility, the same study indicated that Covid-19 infection may temporarily reduce fertility in men.
A reduction in fertility was found only in men who had tested positive within the previous 60 days, but not in those who had had an earlier infection, indicating that the effect is not permanent.
Previous studies also indicated that contracting Covid-19 could negatively affect male fertility.

Euronews: What Are The Dangers For Pregnant Women And The Fetus Contracting Covid
Dr Mosina: We know that pregnant women are at higher risk of severe COVID-19 diseases than women in reproductive age who are not pregnant. We have seen multiple evidence that proves this.
Pregnant women face a higher risk of admission into intensive care units if they get COVID-19 or can be at a higher risk of invasive ventilation.
COVID-19 in pregnancy also poses a risk for babies. Pregnant women who get COVID-19 during the pregnancy have a higher risk of premature delivery and their children are at a higher risk of needing intensive care. These are facts that we know today.
Can I Get The Vaccine If Im Pregnant And Have Allergies
Dr. Leis: For the most part, people with allergies can receive the vaccine. There are two exceptions:
- People who have had an allergic reaction to polyethylene glycol, or PEG. PEG is a component in the vaccine that can elicit an allergy response. It is a very rare allergy, but it is important that people who have this allergy do not receive the vaccine.
- Anyone who has had a reaction to the first dose of the vaccine should not receive the second dose.

Pregnancy And Getting A Covid
You should get vaccinated to protect yourself from serious illness with COVID-19 if you are:
- trying for a baby or might get pregnant in the future
You should also get a booster dose. You need to wait 3 months after your first round of vaccination before you can get a booster.
A booster dose is the extra dose of COVID-19 vaccine used to give better protection to people who have already had their first round of COVID-19 vaccination.
Booster vaccines are currently only available to people aged 16 or older.
First round of COVID-19 vaccination
When we say first round of COVID-19 vaccination we mean your dose 1 and dose 2 if you got AstraZeneca, Moderna or Pfizer. Or your single dose if you got the Janssen vaccine.
If you have a weak immune system, you should have been offered an additional dose to give you better protection. This is because your immune system may not respond as well to vaccination. You will still need a booster dose after this additional dose.
‘vaccine Side Effects Were The Least Of My Worries’
My baby was due May 2, and I had my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on April 26. I was very fearful of COVID-19. When everyone started to get vaccinated, I kept asking my doctor, ‘Are you sure I shouldn’t get vaccinated?’ He said that he didn’t want me to because there weren’t enough studies yet. Then there was a study that came out showing that mothers who got the vaccine passed those antibodies on to their babies, and I decided I was going to get it.
I called my doctor and basically begged for his blessing. Finally, he gave it, so I got the shot. I didn’t have any side effects, but honestly, it would be hard to tell if I did because I was so pregnant and uncomfortable. I also had pubic symphysis dysfunction, which is like the equivalent of your pubic bone breaking. So vaccine side effects were the least of my worries.
I was supposed to get my second dose the day before I was scheduled to be induced, but in that case, I did listen to my doctors, who wanted me to delay the shot until post-delivery. My doctors were worried they wouldn’t be able to tell if my fever was due to the vaccine or a problem with the baby. But I delivered on a Monday and got the second shot on that Friday.

Vaccines Could Attack The Placenta
A widely shared petition from Michael Yeadon, a scientific researcher who has made other misleading statements about Covid, claimed the coronavirus’s spike protein contained within the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines was similar to a protein called syncytin-1, involved in forming the placenta.
He speculated that this might cause antibodies against the virus to attack a developing pregnancy, too.
Some experts believe this was the origin of the whole belief that Covid vaccines might harm fertility.
In fact syncytin-1 and the coronavirus’s spike protein are just about as similar as any two random proteins so there is no real reason to believe the body might confuse them.
But now evidence has been gathered to help disprove his theory.
US fertility doctor Randy Morris, who wanted to respond directly to the concerns he’d heard, began monitoring his patients who were undergoing IVF treatment to see whether vaccination made any difference to their chances of a successful pregnancy.
Out of 143 people in Dr Morris’s study, vaccinated, unvaccinated and previously infected women were about equally likely to have a successful embryo implantation and for the pregnancy to continue to term. The women were similar in most other respects.
The study is small, but it adds to a large volume of other evidence – and were the claim true, you would expect that to show up even in a study of this size.
How Does The Vaccine Work
The vaccine works by sending a message to the body with a blueprint, allowing it to manufacture a small, harmless fragment of the coronavirus’s distinctive “spike”.
This prompts your immune system to kick into action, producing antibodies and white blood cells to fight off the virus – and recognising it if you encounter it again.
It can’t give you the virus, and it has no way of affecting your own genetic information.
These “messenger particles” are extremely short-lived: they deliver their message and then they are destroyed. That’s why the Pfizer vaccine in particular has to be stored so carefully – the genetic material it contains falls apart and becomes useless very easily.
Prof Nicola Stonehouse, a virologist at the University of Leeds, said there was no possible way she could think of that this could have an impact on reproductive health.

Do Covid Vaccines Affect Pregnancy Fertility Or Periods We Asked The World Health Organization
Misinformation about the impact of COVID-19 vaccines on pregnant people and how it may affect fertility and menstruation have spread like wildfire, triggering warnings from health professionals that not enough pregnant women are getting jabbed.
But studies have yet to link any vaccine-related problems with pregnancy and foetal development, or menstrual cycles and fertility in women or men. In fact, studies and experts say it is more dangerous not to get the vaccine.
The latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States concluded that COVID-19 vaccines are well-tolerated by people who are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or lactating, further suggesting the benefits of having the vaccine far outweighs the risks.
The CDC study is one of the largest of its kind and drew data from a survey of more than 17,000 individuals.
To understand the data behind various studies and to get the facts, Euronews Next spoke to Dr Liudmila Mosina, Technical Specialist on Vaccine-preventable Diseases and Immunization at the World Health Organization regional office for Europe.
Can Breastfeeding Protect My Baby From Getting Covid
Breastmilk provides protection against many illnesses. This also seems to be true for COVID-19.
- An NIH-supported study found that when a pregnant person has antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 after being vaccinated or having COVID-19, those antibodies may be transferred to the baby through breastmilk. The antibodies help babies gain immunity that can protect them from COVID-19.

Im Pregnant Once Its Available To Me Can And Should I Receive The Covid
Dr. Zaltz: Yes, you will be able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in Ontario. The Ontario Ministry of Health has stated that people who are pregnant may choose to receive the vaccine after informed counselling and consent. The first step is to speak with your obstetrician, midwife or family doctor. They will review the risks and benefits of COVID-19 vaccination to help you decide what is right for you. You will be required, at the time of vaccination, to attest that you have had this discussion with your primary care provider or specialist.
Euronews: Why Did The Who Change Its Recommendations For Pregnant Women
Dr Mosina: Public health recommendations are continuously changing as new, strong evidence is brought to light.
When the first COVID-19 vaccines became available, WHO experts recommended vaccinating pregnant women who were at high risk of acquiring the disease, i.e. healthcare workers in contact with COVID-19 patients. Back then, we did not have enough data on the safety and efficacy of the vaccination for pregnant women as they were not part of initial clinical trials.
Now we have more evidence on increased risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes in pregnant women. The real-life data from vaccine safety monitoring did not reveal any additional safety signals.
Data from post-introduction studies on mRNA vaccines suggest that vaccination of pregnant women leads to development of protective antibodies and reduces their risk of COVID-19 infection. These new data allowed WHO to update recommendations on vaccinating this group.

Can I Have A Covid
If you’re trying for a baby, there is nothing in the current UK government guidance to say that you shouldn’t have a COVID-19 vaccine. The guidance also says that, once you have had a vaccine, there is no reason to avoid becoming pregnant afterwards.
Theres currently no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 vaccines could affect male or female fertility. The Royal College of Midwives and Royal College of Gynaecologists have said there is not a plausible way in which there could be an effect.
The Association of Reproductive and Clinical Scientists and the British Fertility Society have stated similarly. They advise that you can still have a COVID-19 vaccine while having fertility treatment such as IVF.

The ONS estimate the Budget will add 0.38 percentage points to the 1-month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate between April and October 2012.
However, as the impact of the Budget last year was similar (0.21 percentage points), only 0.17 points will be added to the 12-month rate over the same period.
CPI measures the changes from month to month in the cost of a representative 'basket' of goods and services bought by consumers within the UK.

I don't have a problem with comment #1 Bungie made great Mac games and only 1 or 2 I remember being ported to PC, MYTH 1 & 2. Then what happened? They made console port trash and forgot about the computer gaming scene that made them. They were great until Halo and now I have to see this shit in my Battle.Net app? Fuck them.
I bet you whoever ran Bungie then, will tell you something different in terms of what made them. Myth's were fun little games for their day, but a total drop in the bucket vs what was to come.
I love the Myth games. That is what made me a Bungie fan. I think they lost so much money on that Myth 2 "uninstall root drive directory" thing that they needed Steve Jobs or Billy G to bail them out and finish a game that started as a sci-fi RTS and turned into Halo which also needed to be torn down and rebuilt in some ungodly short amount of time (Hence re-used levels), which everyone here but me hates but that's ok.
Though I don't know why. It still holds up better than most games of it's era, mostly because the RTS bones that it was built from still exist in the way the physics, vehicles, AI and playspaces interact with each other. Also split screen and later internet co-op! When PC games could not be bothered trying since Doom. I prefer it to Half Life 2 which came out years later and had fancy tech, but the encounter design and AI interactions blow HL out of the water. (cue rotten vegetable matter assault)
I too was disappointed when they went MS exclusive on the OG XB, which I had no interest in, until I saw the attract mode from the game running at target. It blew anything I had seen until that time out of the water. PC's still had that polygonal cheapness look to almost every game out there (And did for years afterwards), this thing looked amazing at a fraction of the resolution I was playing on at home. Best console launch title ever. Maybe second best after SMW.
As for Destiny 2, it's missing a lot of what made Halo great. Vehicle boarding for one, split screen and encounter design again seems sub standard outside of Nightfall/Raid situation and there are some obvious concessions to being network friendly (Which it is, it works with people playing from 4 continents somehow) that all detracts from the sharpness of the older games. It's still great though. Maybe the loot isn't as good as some looters, but the game itself is way more fun for me than speedrunning boring levels and then playing the menus in Warframe or clicking and cycling abilites until things die in Diablo. So there are not many guns compared to the wealth of fancy swords and combat bras in Warcraft, who cares. It plays as a really nice shooter with some of that stuff to chase while shooting. Plus the guns all work better than most games can manage when they only have to design a dozen of the things.
I'm glad I'm down to a few days a week. I cannot afford another vanilla WoW situation, too divorcey. I'll probably do another 20 of the next Iron Banner and raid with the clan/lads from work but will see. Might also get it on PC, depends who in my group makes the plunge. Bungie art in HD is delicious though the PvP will lose it's relaxing charm when the 360 headshot crowd get their hands on some mice.

It was revealed that their CAC per user currently is Rs 52.
Namita Thapar said that she is out because they didn’t knew much about their competition. Vineeta Singh said that I don’t invest in such companies and that’s why I am out. Anupam Mittal said that they are little too late because of which I am out. Aman Gupta offered them Rs 26 lakhs for 1% Equity and Rs 49 lakhs in debt.

New FlexShares ETFs Tilt International Markets
By Ron Rowland:
Today, Sept. 28, 2012, Northern Trust introduced two new ETFs that tilt their weightings toward small-cap and value stocks. FlexShares Morningstar Developed Markets ex-U.S. Factor Tilt Index Fund (TLTD - News) and FlexShares Morningstar Emerging Market Factor Tilt Index Fund (TLTE - News) seek to enhance exposure to international stock markets through the multi-factor tilting process of the underlying indexes.
The products are based on the belief that a bias toward small-cap and value stocks offers greater long-term growth potential than that provided by a traditional market cap weighting. The new offerings apply to international markets the same concepts introduced a year ago for the FlexShares Morningstar U.S. Market Factor Tilt Index Fund (:TILT). The underlying Morningstar indexes follow a four-step construction process of 1) defining the investable universe, 2) defining the "total market" portfolio of that universe, 3) assigning value scores and stock styles, and 4) applying the factor tilt.
TLTD applies a small-cap and value tilt to developed markets, excluding the U.S. Unlike the popular MSCI EAFE developed markets classification, TLTD also includes Canadian stocks. The fund’s capitalization allocations are large (58.3%), mid (16.7%), small (23.9%), and micro (1.1%). The value vs. growth ratio was not found.
TLTD has 1,336 holdings, with the largest positions being Nestle (1.2%), HSBC Holdings (1.0%), Novartis (0.9%), Vodaphone Group (0.9%), and BP (0.8%). The country breakdown has Japan at 20.4%, the U.K. at 16.9%, Canada at 10.9%, Australia at 7.6%, France at 6.7%, and Germany at 6.6%. The largest sector allocations include financials (23.6%), industrials (14.5%), consumer discretionary (12.3%), materials (11.0%), and consumer staples (9.5%).
Expenses are capped at 0.42%, and additional details are located in the TLTD overview, fact sheet (pdf), and prospectus (pdf).
TLTE applies a small-cap and value tilt to emerging markets. The largest country allocations include South Korea at 15.9%, Taiwan at 13.4%, Brazil at 12.1%, South Africa at 9.9%, Hong Kong at 9.2%, and at China 8.7%. It’s not clear why Hong Kong is included, since it is a developed market and is represented in TLTD. My presumption is that it represents China stocks listed in Hong Kong. Capitalization allocations are large (47.9%), mid (19.6%), small (29.2%), and micro (3.4%).
TLTE has 1,056 holdings, with the largest positions being Samsung Electronics (2.8%), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (1.5%), China Mobile (1.5%), Gazprom (1.3%), and America Movil (1.1%). Top sector exposures include financials (22.2%), technology (13.8%), materials (12.9%), consumer discretionary (10.7%), and energy (10.5%).
Expenses are capped at 0.65%, and additional details are located in the TLTE overview, fact sheet (pdf), and prospectus (pdf).
Disclosure: No positions in any of the securities mentioned. No positions in any of the companies or ETF sponsors mentioned. No income, revenue, or other compensation (either directly or indirectly) received from, or on behalf of, any of the companies or ETF sponsors mentioned.

How Much Coffee For a 30 Cup Percolators?
If you’re wondering “How much coffee for a 30 cup percolators?” you’ve come to the right place. Here, we’ll look at the Golden Ratio of coffee and water and how much coffee goes into a 30-cup percolator. Also, we’ll cover the benefits of using a scale to measure the coffee.
How much coffee for a 30 cup percolator
If you want to make coffee for a lot of people, you’ll need a high-capacity 30 cup percolator. But if you only plan on brewing a few cups of coffee every day, you may want to consider a low-capacity model. High-capacity percolators can brew up to 30 five-ounce cups in the same amount of time.
The ideal amount of coffee for a 30-cup percolator is around two and a half cups of ground coffee. However, the ratio can vary depending on the roast and the coffee filter you’re using. To determine the right amount, try brewing one or two cups and tasting them as you go along. If it tastes bitter or too strong for you, make an adjustment to the amount in your next batch.
30 Cup Coffee Maker Instructions
If you have never used a 30 Cup Coffee Maker before, you may be wondering what to do first. First, you should always rinse your machine thoroughly after each use with water that contains white vinegar. This will remove any chemical residue. Next, use cold water when brewing. Look for interior markings and a water gauge to ensure that you have used the correct amount of water.
If you have not tried brewing coffee before, you may find that the instructions provided with your device are not clear or confusing. Nevertheless, it is easy to use a 30 cup urn, and the brewing process is quick and easy. Just make sure that you have good coffee beans, and keep an eye on the brewing process so that the resulting coffee is not bitter or too strong.
Golden Ratio of Coffee And Water
The perfect balance of water and coffee is the key to brewing the perfect cup of coffee. The SCAA has developed a formula for calculating the correct ratio. It is based on a weight-based formula. The ideal ratio for a thirty cup percolator is 1:17, or 18:1. This ratio is often referred to as the golden ratio. Coffee brewed at this ratio has a balanced flavor and aroma, and is a true reflection of the art of coffee brewing.
It is not recommended to exceed the recommended ratio. This is because too much or too little coffee can lead to bad tasting coffee. According to the Speciality Coffee Association of America, you should use 150 milliliters of water for each eight grams of coffee. However, you can experiment with the grind until you achieve the perfect taste.
Scale Will Benefit In Measuring
A kitchen scale will come in handy when brewing coffee. They often have a “tare” feature that allows you to re-set the scale to zero after placing something on it. This allows you to accurately measure the amount of coffee to put into your cup or bowl without having to weigh the object first. You can even use the scale to weigh ground coffee and measure it into your cup.
One of the most important things you need to remember when brewing coffee is the correct ratio of coffee to water. A coffee should contain around one gram of coffee for every fifteen to eighteen grams of water. Using the wrong ratio will result in a weak cup of coffee, while a coffee with too much water will be too concentrated and sour. This ratio is called the golden ratio, and using a scale makes it easy to follow. However, if you don’t have a scale, you will have to rely on creative methods to measure the exact amount of coffee.
Why is Ratio important?
If you want to brew coffee for a big crowd, you need to invest in a 30 cup percolator. This coffee maker allows you to brew up to thirty cups of coffee, or about five and a half ounces each. To get the right amount of coffee, you need to know the ratio of water to coffee. This ratio is known as the “Golden Ratio” and was created by the Specialty Coffee Association of America.
The ratio of water to coffee varies with the type and roast of coffee. For instance, darker roasts produce stronger coffee than lighter roasts. Additionally, the ratio can be affected by the type of coffee filter you use. If you are unsure about the proper ratio, start with 1.5 cups, taste, and adjust your next batch accordingly.

BOB MOULD (born 1960) is still alive and making music, but back in 2011 his legacy was the subject of a rockumentary featuring only slightly younger musicians like Dave Grohl and Ryan Adams. On a 1990s MTV show called “Influences” the band Green Day was already paying tribute to Mould, covering Hüsker Dü’s “Don’t Want to Know If You Are Lonely,” the same song that tracks young Eighties alt-love (car, tape deck, awkward but aware sideways glances) in 2009’s “Adventureland.” On the tour for his 2012 album Silver Age, which hit #52 on the Billboard album chart, Mould himself paid tribute to the twentieth anniversary of his 1992 hit Sugar album Copper Blue by playing all the songs from it in order. Early hits from Sugar and his solo career, like “See a Little Light,” “It’s Too Late,” and “If I Can’t Change Your Mind,” hold up just as well as more recent singles like “The Descent” — all of them fast and catchy, all of them sticking with the minimalist guitar-bass-drum lineup, all of them hitting that sweet spot between pop and punk. When Mould is actually dead (not that we wish him ill), it will be interesting to see when (not if) young musicians once again claim to be his legatees.

The blues artist estimates that she has guested on more than 100 songs. Her shortlist of the most unforgettable — with apologies to those left off the list.
“I’m in the Mood,” with John Lee Hooker (1989)
This collaboration won a Grammy for best traditional blues recording, but that’s not why it ranks among Raitt‘s favorites: “I shared musical heat with John Lee Hooker.”
“Someone To Love,” with Charles Brown (1992)
Her duet with the famed blues singer and pianist appeared on his eponymous album, Someone To Love. Raitt says, “I adored the man and miss him every day.”
“Hey There,” with John Raitt (1995)
One of three duets on her father’s Broadway Legend album, this show-tune cover from The Pajama Game is, in Raitt’s words, “a daddy-daughter moment to cherish forever.”
“I’m Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town,” with Ruth Brown (1997)
“When I sang it live with Ruth Brown, I’d ad lib: ‘I know it may sound funny / Funny as can be / But I’ve seen all your children / And one looks a whole lot like John Lee.’ That would break her up.”
“I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues,” with Tony Bennett (2001)
“Not sure I’ve got the right to sing with Tony Bennett,” says Raitt, a guest on Playin’ With My Friends: Bennett Sings the Blues. “But I sure as hell didn’t refuse.”
“You Remain” with Willie Nelson (2001)
“I really only sang the background,” remembers Raitt, “But the song still stays in my heart.”
“Do I Ever Cross Your Mind?” with Ray Charles (2004)
“Ray Charles was ill and Genius Loves Company was his final album, but still, I got to sing with the man!”
“A Sunday Kind of Love,” with Alicia Keys (2012)
“Etta James had the voice I wish I had,” says Raitt, who paid tribute to the vocal legend with Alicia Keys at the 54th annual Grammy Awards.
“The Pleasure’s All Mine,” with Jimmie Vaughn (2014)
“I did it for the 40th anniversary of Austin City Limits,” Raitt recalls. “Love looking at it on YouTube.”
“Wrap It Up,” with Brittany Howard (2014)
At that same ACL celebration, the Alabama Shakes frontwoman joined Raitt for this 1968 R&B single: “Two chicks with guitars rocking the Sam & Dave classic. Big thrill.” Watch the performance here.

About Savage Arms
Back in 1891, Arthur William Savage established a patent for ‘a repeating rifle with a single column magazine lever-action,’ (Savage Arms, 2021). Since then, the Savage Arms brand has grown into one of the leading firearms names.
The Salvage Arms brand was founded by people who are part of the hunting world, from shooters to competitors. All Savage Arms guns were developed based on ‘hands-on experience’, the expertise and quality really shines through.
New Savage Impulse Pistol
The new Impulse by Savage Arms offers lightning speed and incredible accuracy. The new rifle feels natural to hold, featuring a ‘straight-pull action’, expect semi-automatic speeds, and the precision of a conventional bolt. Gun users can expect quicker follow-up shots and fast target reacquisition.
What are the features of the new Savage Impulse?
The new Impulse pistol is made from steel, it’s smoother and faster than its predecessors. The new rifle is designed with a high-quality barrel clamp (four-bolt) and a lock for easy disassembly. The Savage Impulse features modular subassemblies and a rotary bolt handle. The bolt handle provides both controlled loading, and pre-extraction. The new rifle also features barrel extension including a barrel lock nut that offers precise headspace control.
Three Models To Choose From
The new Impulse pistol comes in three different models, here are the gun specifics for each, according to the Savage Impulse site:
- The Hog Hunter: ‘6.5 Creedmoor, 30-06 SPFLD, 300 Win Mag, 308 Win’.
- The Big Game: ‘6.5 Creedmoor, 300 WSM, 30-06 SPFLD, 300 WIN MAG, 308 Win.’
- The Predator: ‘22-250 REM, 243 WIN, 6.5 Creedmoor, 308 WIN’.
The Development Challenge
Many shooters have preconceptions of straight pull guns, shooters have often viewed these to be, ‘too expensive, lacking in accuracy, and potentially unsafe,’ (Guns & Ammo 2021.) Savage Arms needed to challenge these preconceptions, they set about doing this by establishing 13 patents, to support and improve the Impulse. The Savage Arms brand is well known for innovation, and this high-performing firearm certainly does not disappoint.
The Savage Impulse Design Work
One of the most interesting elements of the new Savage Impulse is the bolt, the bolt is a full-diameter, providing smooth cycling for the receiver, and fast delivery. Gun users can remove the bolt head, the head itself features a Hexlock. The Hexlock is made up of six ball bearings (steel), that work as lugs and secure the battery and the bolt. The chamber pressure grows when a round is fired, when this happens the bearings achieve a stronger lockup. When the pressure decreases, the bearings ease up, and the bolt retracts.
Choosing A New Rifle
If you’re in the market for a new rifle, the Savage Impulse is a fantastic choice. When you’re purchasing any new firearms you should assess your own needs, and check out a few online reviews. The new Savage Impulse is fast gaining an excellent reputation on the firearms market.

What are the major achievements and contributions of the Byzantine Empire?
The name was given by historians only in 16th century. It was known as Roman Empire or simply Romania to its inhabitants. The major contribution of the Byzantine empire is the preservation of the Greek language and culture. Greek philosophy, ethics and science became a foundation of the Western civilization.
What were Justinian’s achievements?
Some of his most notable achievements include Belisarius and Justinian’s reconquering of lost territories, Justinian’s Code which unified the empire under a single set of laws, and his Rebuilding of Constantinople into one of the best cities there ever was, after the Nika revolt destroyed most of it.
How was the Byzantine Empire able to survive for so long what were some of its major achievements?
The Byzantine Empire survived for many reasons. First, it had ample agricultural supplies, and it had a good infrastructure system that funneled these supplies back to Constantinople. It was well-defended as well—in the latter days of the empire, Constantinople used some of the heaviest walls in the medieval world.
What did the Byzantine Empire invent?
The Best Inventions from the Byzantine Empire
This list of Byzantine inventions includes items like the counterweight trebuchet, grenade, and pedentive dome, as well as modern Byzantine inventions like the flamethrower.
What are three achievements of the Byzantine Empire?
Major Achievements – Byzantine empire and russia. One of The Byzantine empire’s great achievements was the preservation of Roman and Greek Culture. In 476 in the West, the Romans collapsed. Along with their downfall, many libraries and other documents were lost.
Why did the Byzantine Empire fall?
The dwindling Byzantine Empire came to an end when the Ottomans breached Constantinople’s ancient land wall after besieging the city for 55 days. Mehmed surrounded Constantinople from land and sea while employing cannon to maintain a constant barrage of the city’s formidable walls.
Who was the best Byzantine emperor?
Constantine the Great was a Roman Emperor (306 – 337) who built a new imperial residence at Byzantium (back then it was an Ancient Greek colony.
What were Justinian Two major accomplishments?
One of Justinian’s greatest accomplishments is that he married well. The rebellion was easily put down and Justinian remained emperor. As emperor, Justinian made great reforms in the areas of law, urban development, and conquest. His Justinian Code curbed bureaucratic corruption in the empire for centuries.
What is Constantinople called today?
Constantinople is an ancient city in modern-day Turkey that’s now known as Istanbul.

Defensive lineman Shane Ray has returned to the NFL following a two-year stint with the Toronto Argonauts, signing with the Buffalo Bills.
The 29-year-old started 13 games for the Argos at defensive end in 2022, recording 13 defensive tackles, six sacks, and two forced fumbles. His season ended prematurely after he suffered a torn bicep in October. He did not dress for the team during their postseason run, which culminated in a Grey Cup victory and became a free agent in February.
Ray was selected in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos. He played in 14 games in his rookie NFL season and made 20 tackles and four sacks while helping his team win the Super Bowl 50. He improved during his second season and recorded 48 tackles, eight sacks, two fumble recoveries, and one forced fumble.
The six-foot-three, 245-pound pass rusher underwent a number of surgeries on his wrist over the next two years, limited his production as he made 26 total tackles and two sacks over 19 games. He was in training camp with the Baltimore Ravens in 2019 but was released upon its conclusion.
Ray dressed for five games as a CFL rookie with the Argos in 2021 and made four tackles. The terms of his new contract with the Bills remain unclear.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is available for a range of conditions at Acorn Sports Podiatry.
ESWT is a widely used, non-invasive therapy which stimulates soft tissues to repair. Poorly healed soft tissues can be broken down so the body can re-heal an area which has remained painful following trauma or over-use. It is most often used to treat plantar fasciitis but can also be used to promote better healing in other structures. Common conditions treated include Achilles tendinopathy, heel pain and shin splints.
How Does It Work?
A small, ceramic ball is moved briskly up and down the applicator supplying an impact wave into the tissues. This will cause some inflammation and bring blood flow to the area, which is necessary to promote healing. Tendons and fascia have little blood supply of their own, so bringing extra blood supply and inflammation is beneficial as they supply everything the body needs to heal.
Does It Hurt?
Patients usually report discomfort and there is likely to be pain as the applicator passes over the area most needing attention. The clinician will alter the power of the therapy in relation to your tolerance of it.
The area will remain sensitive for a few days, but then the discomfort should start to settle. Patients often report improvement in their symptoms within the first week, but it can take up to six weeks to see the full benefit of the treatment.

1 Kings 12:26-28
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
-At this point is Israel’s history, the nation has been split. The nation of Israel under King Jeroboam and Judah under King Rehoboam. Jeroboam is afraid that if the people go back to Jerusalem to worship the Lord, they will decide not to return. Look how he decided to deal with that possibility. He creates a false religion in the form of two idols and tells the people that it is okay to stay in Israel to worship. This is the same problem we have in the modern age. Blind leaders have peddled countless false religions out to the people under the premise that “it is too hard to worship the Lord”. They say His laws are too strict and His standards too high. That may be true; Jesus Himself taught us that “unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required” (Luke 12:48), and you may find many other “religions” that are easier to follow. But think about what you are getting. If you take the ‘easy’ way and get an empty religion, how does that compare to taking the ‘hard’ way and getting the God of all creation? “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15)

“This time it’s for eternity.”
Directed by Andrew Morahan.
Starring Christopher Lambert and Mario van Peebles
After four centuries trapped in a cave, the evil immortal Kane (‘Super’ Mario van Peebles) – who apparently makes the Kurgan look like a pussycat – is freed by development construction. Will they never learn?
This awakening reactivates Connor’s full powers, although we learn that he survived a fatal car wreck in the highlands which dispatched the love interest of the original film, and he and Kane kill one of the latter’s hapless hench-immortals apiece, before convening for the ultimate showdown, in which Connor wins the prize again. The twist is that, in addition to his mastery of the sword, Kane also possesses the power of illusion, stolen from Connor’s second mentor, the sorcerer Nakano, along with his head and his Quickening.
Along the way, there’s also a romantic plotline with an archaeologist who uncannily resembles Connor’s French Revolution love, and Kane kidnaps Connor’s adopted son to use as live bait. At one point they fight on holy ground, and Connor’s sword explodes.
What’s wrong with it?
The Sorcerer is essentially a rehash of the original with some extra special effects, only this time it isn’t novel and different. It’s woefully short on swordfights, and ‘Super’ Mario just lacks the camp malevolence of Clancy ‘Kurgan’ Brown. Its attempts to rationalise its own existence in the wake of the events of the original are – if less crazed than II’s – still fairly stretched. Far more of the film is set in daylight, and the colouration is better than in the original, which actually ends up detracting from the overall atmosphere.
What’s right with it?
There’s some nifty SFX, and the love interest is of a slightly higher calibre than in the original (largely because there’s a small child to do the screaming incompetence).
How bad is it really?
Unlike II, this film is at least watchable. That said, it’s still pretty abominable.
Best bit (if such there is)?
Even the swordfights are pretty dull in this one. It says a lot about the overall quality of the film that the best moment is probably ‘Super’ Mario proving that Kane is out of touch by trying to eat a condom. And no, it’s not one of those things you had to be there for; that’s really all there is to it.
What’s up with…?
- This whole power of illusion thing in the first place? Fair’s fair though; at least this time there actually is a new kind of magic.
- Hench immortals? Why would anyone do it? You know that you’re going to end up dead.
- The exploding sword? OK, I buy that it’s supposed to be some sort of resistance to immortals duelling on holy ground, but since Kane attacked, why does his katana remain intact? Moreover, why doesn’t he even try to finish MacLeod off while he’s unarmed?
Production values – Pretty good; in fact, almost too good. The whole thing is so well-shot it actually loses the gritty atmosphere of the original because of it. 6
Dialogue and performances – So-so. The dialogue is fairly uninspired, the acting is vaguely competent. Nothing outstandingly bad, but nothing more than workmanlike really. 10
Plot – At best, the plot is patchy. In places, the film feels more like a series of vignettes than a coherent narrative, and the flashbacks to the French Revolution – indeed the entire romantic subplot – feels tacked on, and rather pointless. 14
Randomness – While it has nothing on II, much in The Sorcerer goes unexplained. The exploding sword, Kane’s hibernation, the henchlings, the reincarnated lover. 10
Waste of Potential – Less shameless than the second film, as this does not abuse the mighty Sean, but even for a Super Mario van Peebles/Christopher Lambert film, this is pretty slack. 12

Actress Deepika Padukone and Bollywood producer Boney Kapoor unveiled the book 'Sridevi: The Eternal Screen Goddess' by Satyarth Nayak on Sunday in New Delhi.
While unveiling the book, Boney Kapoor got emotional, talking about his dear wife and broke down in tears. Deepika, who was standing next to him, hugged and consoled him.
At the book launch, Deepika shared the secret bond between her and Sridevi. She revealed that she and the late Sridevi shared a special close bond, which the outside world never knew. She mentioned that 'Nagini' and Boney Kapoor were the real champions as they were very supportive of her in her initial days in Bollywood. DP said that Sridevi watched every film of hers and used to send her personalised messages, praising her acting skills.
Deepika also stated that she was personally very fond of Sridevi and said it's the 'Southern connect', which was the reason for their close bonding. She said she felt honoured to be present at the event and launch a book on her favourite actress. The event also had Gauri Shinde, director of Sridevi's famous movie 'English Vinglish'.
Sridevi passed away on February 24, 2018, in Dubai. Sridevi was known for her evergreen beauty and versatile acting. Considered as India's legendary actress, her demise left everyone heartbroken. The book which was earlier titled 'Sridevi: Girl Woman Superstar' was approved by her husband Boney Kapoor. The book chronicles her excellence in cinema and her biography. The foreword of the book is penned by actress Kajol.

I understand about cutting edges and all that, but could you offer some hints? I tried building 2.3.40 with the kernel PCMCIA support enabled. That appeared to work but attempts to insmod the 3c589_cs.o module produced a complaint about being unable to allocate the IRQ. That was with cardmgr active. With cardmgr not active, the card wasn't activated, as far as I can tell. The reason I'm trying to use 2.3.40 isn't the new PCMCIA stuff, and I'm no wizard (especially not in that area) so I don't know where to start.
Tried to build the full 3.1.9 pcmcia package; that got a compile error in wireless/airo_cs.c. But skipping that directory, while it produced a build that completed, didn't result in working PCMCIA Ethernet.

|E.D. Hirsch, Jr., is a Professor of English at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. The quote below is from one of his most influential works, Cultural Literacy, which in its entirety makes the case that "cultural literacy" in the U.S. is being eroded because the foundational elements of a shared culture are no longer being laid in the school system. Hirsch argues in favor of a shared cultural canon; one is "culturally literate" if one is familiar with the canon. To support this view, Hirsch and two of his colleagues included an appendix to the book entitled "What Literate Americans Know: A Preliminary List." The list, which Hirsch meant to "reflect culture" in the U.S. and to serve as a springboard for national curricular change, has been criticized as reflecting only the dominant culture, to the detriment of the multiple cultural heritages which are a part of the national cultural system.|
My father used to write business letters that alluded
to Shakespeare. These allusions were effective for conveying complex messages
to his associates, because, in his day, business people could make such
allusions with every expectation of being understood. For instance, in my
father's commodity business, the timing of sales and purchases was all-important,
and he would sometimes write or say to his colleagues, "There is a
tide," without further elaboration. Those four words carried not only
a lot of complex information, but also the persuasive force of a proverb.
In addition to the basic practical meaning, "act now!" what came
across was a lot of implicit reasons why immediate action was important.
For some of my younger readers who may not recognize the allusion, the passage from Julius Caesar is:
There is a tide in the affairs of menTo say "There is a tide" is better than saying "Buy (or sell) now and you'll cover expenses for the whole year, but if you fail to act right away, you may regret it the rest of your life." That would be twenty-seven words instead of four, and while the bare message of the longer statement would be conveyed, the persuasive force wouldn't. Think of the demands of such a business communication. To persuade somebody that your recommendation is wise and well-founded, you have to give lots of reasons and cite known examples and authorities. My father accomplished that and more in four words, which made quoting Shakespeare as effective as any efficiency consultant could wish. The moral of this tale is not that reading Shakespeare will help one rise in the business world. My point is a broader one. The fact that middle-level executives no longer share literate background knowledge is a chief cause of their inability to communicate effectively.
Which taken at the flood leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.


As the world seeks to meet its growing energy demands while minimizing the negative impacts on the environment, addressing the issue of energy sprawl becomes crucial.
In today's rapidly evolving world, the demand for energy continues to grow, driven by population growth, technological advancements, and increasing industrialization. As a result, energy infrastructure is expanding, leading to a phenomenon known as "energy sprawl." Energy sprawl refers to the extensive land use and environmental impact caused by the development of large-scale energy projects. Nuclear energy stands out as a solution to energy sprawl.
Energy sprawl occurs when large areas of land are utilized for energy production, including the construction of solar and wind farms, transmission lines, and associated infrastructure. This expansion often encroaches upon natural habitats, disrupts ecosystems, and fragments landscapes. Conventional energy sources, such as fossil fuels, and renewable energy, like wind and solar, contribute to energy sprawl due to their extensive land requirements and environmental impacts. However, nuclear energy offers a unique alternative addresses these challenges.
Nuclear energy is characterized by its high energy density, which means it can produce significant amounts of electricity from a relatively small land footprint. Unlike fossil fuel power plants, nuclear fission reactors do not emit greenhouse gases during operation, making nuclear the cleanest and most energy-dense source of energy. The 778 billion KW of energy produced in the US by nuclear power plants in 2021 saved 471 million metric tons of carbon that year while only occupying 103 acres per million MW hours–31 times less than solar facilities and 173 times less than wind farms. By harnessing the power of nuclear fission, nuclear reactors generate large amounts of electricity without the need for extensive land use.
Last Energy’s micro nuclear power plant, the PWR-20, provides 20 MWe on less than 0.3 acres. The compact plant can be conveniently co-located near industrial areas, effectively curbing the need for extensive energy infrastructure expansion. With its small footprint and ability to co-locate, the PWR-20 mitigates the environmental impact of extensive infrastructure development.
As the world seeks to meet its growing energy demands while minimizing the negative impacts on the environment, addressing the issue of energy sprawl becomes crucial. Nuclear energy presents a compelling solution by offering a concentrated, reliable, and sustainable source of electricity. Its ability to generate substantial energy from a small land footprint makes it a key player in mitigating energy sprawl while ensuring a cleaner and more secure energy future. By embracing nuclear energy, we can strike a balance between meeting our energy needs and preserving our precious natural resources.
Nuclear energy can provide clean, reliable heat for industrial processes.
To expand global access to clean water, we need clean nuclear energy.
