A humble prediction. Seeds are being sown around the world for a comeback of nuclear energy. In the next decade, we can see government’s around the world approving more nuclear reactors as they realize they aren’t going anywhere near net carbon zero with wind and solar. 🧵

 Take Australia for example. It is home to 1/3rd of the world’s uranium - the chemical element needed to produce nuclear energy in reactors but doesn’t have a single nuclear reactor to generate electricity.

Which is fine as long as you have other sources of energy that are cheap, plentiful and reliable. But South Australia’s energy prices are arguably the highest in the world.

The European Commission released a very important report this April. In its assessment, it concluded that nuclear energy had near to zero greenhouse gas emissions in energy generation phase and can be a contributor to climate mitigation objectives.

What about radioactive waste management? France which produces 75% of its energy requirements from nuclear is a great example.
‘By way of comparison, annual per capita radioactive waste generated in France is now 1 kg (of which 11 grams high-level waste), compared with 2,500 kg of industrial waste (of which 100 kg of toxic waste).’

https://t.co/DgCQxEkehf
Germany took a polar opposite view of France post Fukushima Daiichi in 2011 by reducing nuclear to just 11% of its total electricity now. Germany spent close to $600 bn in renewables over the last 10 years. Renewables now account for 35% of total electricity production in Ger
This should have reduced carbon emissions right? Unfortunately sun doesn’t shine in the night and wind doesn’t blow always. So they have to rely more on fossil fuels than France. Germany’s carbon emission is 10x France and its electricity prices are 2x France. No kidding! 😷
To not be dependent on Russia’s natural gas, Germany is destroying Hambach forest for coal (https://t.co/G7A0E2aVFV) and setting up wind turbines in Reinhardswald forest. Wind turbines across the world are known for killing eagles, hawks, bats and other migratory birds.

New York last year closed it’s best and one and only nuclear power plant called Indian Point largely due to political reasons. This year, many New Yorkers suffered black outs last week due to grid strain following the heat wave. https://t.co/obLlF8dFGu
What about land requirements? New York’s Indian Point gives a perspective on land requirement. Indian Point covers 239 acres. One can fit 3 Indian Point’s inside New York City’s Central Park.
To produce the same amount of power using wind, you need a land area equivalent to 400 Central Park filled with wind turbines. (This long read is a must).

What about the harmful effects of exposure to radiation? Prof. Gerald Thomas from Imperial College of London busts many myths and half truths. She’s covered Fukushima and Chernobyl extensively

https://t.co/15Ywwdmnk4 (Her presentation)

https://t.co/4VEJfIqLts (her credentials)
This 20 minute super interesting documentary covers Australian energy expert Dr Ben Heard who’s fighting for nuclear in Australia and Greenpeace Oz’s view on Fukushima. (P.S: Not a single death in Fukushima due to radiation exposure)

Life expectancy in France with 75% nuclear contribution to total energy.
A 3 minute video by Prof Thomas explaining how we are constantly exposed to radiation (nuclear or not)

https://t.co/tvYqVQ23Kb
What about India? Though we have 22+ reactors, nuclear is a distant fifth after coal, gas, hydro and wind. We generate about 8000 MW from nuclear which is just 3% of total.
Jairam Ramesh (yes no typo there) believes nuclear should at least be 10% of total energy for meaningful reduction in carbon emissions.

https://t.co/TqHa6CpooV
As per https://t.co/6APTU5gDgA 5 more sites have been given in principle approval for more reactors.

Maharashtra - 6*1650 - France
AP - 6*1208 - USA
Gujarat - 6*1000 - USA
West Bengal - 6*1000 - Russia
MP - 4*700 - Indigenous
World has flirted enough with solar and wind for more than two decades now. We have enough photo ops to prove ‘greenness’ along with enough data to prove that it’s best complementary and can never be core.
India needs to prioritize nuclear over and above (snake oil) solar, wind and ushers in energy independence by providing safe, cheap, reliable and plentiful electricity with low emissions being the cherry on top. END.

In last 2-3 years we have seen that automobile companies have been in competition in term of car features. Features like digital speedo meter, fully digital instrument cluster, wireless charger, air purifier, digital screen monitor, GPS, IoT, and many other such features. …

…Like kia and Hyundai gives good features in just Rs 17 lakh car as compared with Rs 45 lakh BMW. Kia and Hyundai gives almost all features of BMW in just Rs 17-20 lakh car. So there is huge competition in automobile companies in terms of features, who gives more features in…

…low budget. And in all such digital features ASM TECHNOLOGIES is a leading player. #ASMTechnologies.

The cold hard truth:

Why do companies like Quibi raise billions, while companies like Peloton get nothing?

Because fundraising is a GAME

And the insiders keep the rules to themselves.

Here are 100 tips the insiders don’t want you to see but will help you win the game:

1. You can’t play the game without nailing the basics.

There are 5 core ingredients to a startup pitch.

Most have 2.
Good ones have 4.
The best have all 5.


2. Now that you have a grasp of the basics, it’s time to level up.

Good news - most founders make the same mistakes as each other.

Bad news - these mistakes are really easy to make.

Here's what not to do:


3. Ok so you told me what not to do.

So what should I do?

Read below.


4. We’re in a really unique fundraising environment right now.

It’s important to contextualize all these tips in the “here and now” of what’s going on in the landscape.

So it's now October 10, 2018 and....Rod Rosenstein is STILL not fired.

He's STILL in charge of the Mueller investigation.

He's STILL refusing to hand over the McCabe memos.

He's STILL holding up the declassification of the #SpyGate documents & their release to the public.

I love a good cover story.......

The guy had a face-to-face with El Grande Trumpo himself on Air Force One just 2 days ago. Inside just about the most secure SCIF in the world.

And Trump came out of AF1 and gave ol' Rod a big thumbs up!

And so we're right back to 'that dirty rat Rosenstein!' 2 days later.

At this point it's clear some members of Congress are either in on this and helping the cover story or they haven't got a clue and are out in the cold.

Note the conflicting stories about 'Rosenstein cancelled meeting with Congress on Oct 11!"

First, rumors surfaced of a scheduled meeting on Oct. 11 between Rosenstein & members of Congress, and Rosenstein just cancelled it.

'Treasure Gods' - Sangha Nidhi' and 'Padma Nidhi', Tirumala, Tirupati.

------------------------------------

These are the two guards guarding the Wealth and Treasure of Lord Sri Venkateswara.

They are representatives of two treasures of Kubera, the God of Wealth.


One guard who is holding shangam (conch) on both the hands is known as Shanka Nidhi ('nidhi' means wealth).

On the other side, the guard who is holding Lotus flowers on both the hands is known as Padma nidhi.

Shangu is from the ocean which includes all types of wealth like pearls and corals.

Why shagam in his hand? Because shangam only gives the sound of 'omkaram'.

'Padmam' is the symbol of water sources in land like river, lakes, tanks etc. which is very important for all living beings.

As per the tradition, these guards are installed at the third entrance of the temple.

One enters the holy shrine after saluting the first protection threshold - Sankha Nidhi and Padma Nidhi.

Ashta Siddhi

Ashta Siddhi is mentioned in Patanjali Yog sutra and can be obtained by very few through countless years of practice and devotion to all eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga.

Siddhi can loosely be translated as accomplishment or a special power or unusual skill.


The eight Siddhis are:

1. Anima: Reducing one’s physical self to the size of an atom.

2. Mahima: Expanding one’s physical self to infinite level

3. Garima: Making one’s physical self so heavy as immovable by others

4. Laghima: Becoming almost weightless


5. Prapti: Being able travel anywhere in the Universe

6. Prakamya: Can know & understand what is going on in one’s mind. Can understand other person’s min.

7. Ishitva: Possessing title of Bhagwan

8. Vashitva: A seeker can subdue any person/thing

(Hanuman Jayanti is coming)


Hanumanji not only possessed all eight siddhis, but was also blessed by Sita mata as “Ashta Siddhi Nau Nidhi Ke Daata”.

When Hanumanji first reaches to Lanka on his mission to find Sita, he makes use of anima so as to be discrete in enemy territory.


He uses it again when he approaches Sita mata for the first time – reducing his size to that of a schoolboy, to avoid scaring her. He uses mahima to outwit & overpowers
the demons.
