![]() We actively give, engage and collaborate whenever possible.Īt Southern Nuclear, our people are our core. We are committed to serving the communities nearest to each of our operating plants. For more than 40 years, the company has operated nuclear energy facilities at the highest levels of safety and reliability, creating carbon-free electricity for millions of homes and businesses. Its costs and delays could deter other utilities from building such plants, even though they generate electricity without releasing climate-changing carbon emissions.Southern Nuclear is a leader among the nation’s nuclear energy operators, running six units for Alabama Power and Georgia Power. Vogtle is the only nuclear plant under construction in the United States. The two new units combined are projected to produce enough power for more than 500,000 homes and businesses. The company is now projected to spend more than $10.5 billion on construction and $3.5 billion on financing. Southern Company has written off $3.26 billion in Vogtle losses since 2018, suggesting it won't recoup those costs.Ĭommissioners earlier said they would presume $5.7 billion of Georgia's Power's spending as prudent. That process will determine how much the company's customers will pay for Vogtle, as opposed to whether shareholders will have to absorb additional losses. Deciding whether Georgia Power's spending decisions were prudent is supposed to begin once fuel is loaded into the fourth reactor. Georgia Power's 2.7 million customers are already paying part of the financing cost and state regulators have approved a monthly rate increase of at least $3.78 a month as soon as the third unit reaches commercial operation.īut the elected five-member Public Service Commission will decide later who pays for the remainder of the costs. Add in 3.7 billion that Westinghouse paid to the Vogtle owners to walk away from building the reactors and the total nears $35 billion. Smaller shares are owned by Oglethorpe Power Corporation, which provides electricity to member-owned cooperatives, the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia and the city of Dalton.Ĭurrently, the owners are projected to pay $31 billion in capital and financing costs, Associated Press calculations show. Georgia Power currently owns 45.7% of the reactors. In Georgia, almost every electric customer will pay for Vogtle. The company says unit 4 is supposed to reach commercial operation by March 2024. Once fuel is loaded, operators will conduct tests and begin splitting atoms, which creates the high temperatures that boil steam that drives turbines, which generates electricity. All of the fuel has already been inspected and is being stored at the site. Georgia Power said that it's making final preparations to load the 157 fuel assemblies into the reactor core. Two older reactors are also operating at Plant Vogtle. The reactor was producing power at 98% of capacity on Friday, according to Nuclear Regulatory Commission records. The current deadline to reliably send electricity to the grid came after a leaking turbine seal forced another month's wait. The milestone comes as a Monday deadline nears for unit 3 to reach commercial operation. Georgia Power, a unit of Atlanta-based Southern Company has said it anticipates loading fuel by the end of September. It's a key step toward completing the two-reactor project, which is seven years late and $17 billion over budget. Some Alabama and Florida utilities have also contracted to buy Vogtle's power. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said that Georgia Power Company and its co-owners can begin loading fuel into unit 4 at Plant Vogtle, southeast of Augusta. Federal regulators have approved plans to load radioactive fuel into a second new nuclear reactor in Georgia.

How can SCM-Manager help you to improve your work processes? We would love to hear you most needed features! Though this is no direct part of SCM-Manager, we want to point to our Jenkins Plugin. The new communication is way more simple and we removed a theoratical vulnerability on the way. Last but not least we changed the way mercurial hooks are processed in SCM-Manager. We deem branches as "stale", when the latest commit of this branch is 30 days behind the latest commit When you open the branches overview, you will notice that there are two tables: First there are the "Active Branches" below you To create a new tag, you can use the little "Create Tag" button on the top Or press "Delete tag" in the detail page for a tag. To delete a tag, you can press the bin icon in the overview Like for branches, you now can create and delete tags in SCM-Manager. With the mail plugin you will get a mail. Landingpage plugin you will see the result in the "Latest activities", Finally you just have to name the repository. If this repository is not public, you can enter Mercurial) and then you can enter a repository URL (for example from GitHub). Here you can select the type (for now git or "Add Repository" and then select "Import repository" on the top right of the page. When you create new repositories you can now choose to import other repositories (for now git and mercurial). Separated into "active" and "stale" branches.

Reason for favourite: These are the lifts that got me really interested in Oronas, one predoors, are fast and runs very efficiently with the exception of the levelling. All are 1.6m/s without intelligent levelling and predoors although one of them does predoor. 6x Glass Orona Arca II with Arca II buttons. Reason for 9th: Locked off at nighttime, can safety break itself at -1 and is a little run down.Ĩ. Reason for favourite: Runs very nice and smoothly, fast and levels very well. Lift is 1.6m/s with semi-intelligent levelling and predoors. CC Punta Marina, Orihuela Costa, Alicante, Valencian Community, Spain. Reason for 10th place: The lifts are quite slow, they're a bit cramped and the motor sounds a little run down.ĩ. Reason for favourite: Double clunk when brake applied, levels fast and predoors. Both are 1m/s with semi-intelligent levelling and predoors. 2x 2nd Generation Kone Ecodiscs with KSS570. It wasn't easy to pick these but in order from 10th favourite to favourite, sorry if I went into a little too much detail on the favourite and reason for _ place XD:ġ0. Gonna casually claim the second reply of this topic and say my 10 favourite lifts since I'm bored out of my mind. Of course everything opinionated here is fully my own opinionĪnd that's these lifts' history! Now for the photos XD: They were made 1m/s again, feature some awesome fixtures (ThyssenKrupp Blueton), have pre-doors and semi-intelligent levelling and are overall just so much more improved! If I could improve these further, I would decrease the startup delay (because it is quite long) and I would make them the original shape as they look a bit weird in the current pit. Overall, the new lifts are so much better. Finally, on the 7th of November, the right lift went into service. Speaking of temporary walls, ThyssenKrupp originally printed them as "Thyssenkrupp Elevator UK" then scribbled the UK out and put R.O.I. ![]() Near to the time when ThyssenKrupp fixed the numbering, the temporary walls were updated to look quite nice (Picture 10). There is a glitch with the voice on Level 1 where it goes "(Chime) First" instead of First Floor. For one day, the buttons were still 0-1-2 although the indicator was programmed as 1-2-3. For about 2 weeks it was 0-1-2 instead of 1-2-3. (Pictures 8-9) Originally, the floor numbering was set up wrong. The big day happened soon after, 3rd of October was the first day the lift went into service. This was the point where I realised that they were going to be Evolutions. September was mostly just time of the lift sitting slightly above Level 1 doing nothing, not sure why. Near to the start of September, the cabin was fully installed although not yet in service (Picture 7). On the 22nd, the new cab was installed, though only the bare essentials (Picture 6). (Picture 5) At this point, the entire lift was removed from the shaft and scaffolding and blue mesh was put in place, possibly for ease of dismantling. On the 17th of August 2020, ThyssenKrupp began to replace these lifts. During this mod, the shaft was also made black and the lights surrounding the cabin were removed. They originally went 1m/s (approx 200fpm) and when they were modernized they were slowed down to 0.6m/s. QUICK HISTORY: Originally Otis Europa2000s from 1990 when the centre first opened (Picture 1), they were then modernized by Pickerings in 2008 to feature Dewhurst buttons, Thames Valley logic and a slower speed (Pictures 2-4). Recently, in The Square Tallaght in Dublin, Ireland, the main glass atrium lifts were replaced. ![]() Otherwise, the sim looks looks as good as ever! After pressing OK, the building still loads fine, it's just that the error appears every time. Hypothetically, this is how I would (somewhat) expect it to work:įor reference, this is how the lifts look when there are none present and turned off in the INI, respectively:Īlso, when lighting is enabled, this error is thrown every time the building is reloaded using Ctrl+R. Using Point Lights, I attempted to making some exterior lights on a lift light up, but the light went through walls onto the other shaft: The lights give off a good effect, but I can see it is experimental. I know you can disable it with F9, but would it be possible to make this an option in the INI file to save it being done every time a building is loaded?įrom what I've seen, the experimental lighting engine works well. Upon loading, I immediately noticed the FPS counter in the top right-hand corner. Great to see Skyscrapersim back in development!

On Pearl Harbor Day, the American flag should be flown at half-staff until sunset to honor those who died as a result of the attack on U.S. On November 29, President Bill Clinton issued a proclamation declaring Decemthe first National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day and it became part of the Patriotic and National Observances and Ceremonies section of the United States Code. On August 23, 1994, the United States Congress designated December 7 of each year as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. What domestic support for non-interventionism was left after the Fall of France in 1940 had completely disappeared. responded with a declaration of war against Germany and Italy. Roosevelt called the bombing “a date which will live in infamy.” On December 11 Germany and Italy each declared war on the U.S. In a speech to Congress that day, President Franklin D. On December 8, the United States declared war on Japan, entering World War II on the side of the Allies. Within hours of the attack, Canada became the first Western nation to declare war on Japan. The surprise attack came as a shock to the American people and led directly to the American entry into World War II in both European and Pacific theaters. The attack, carried out by 353 Imperial Japanese aircraft in two waves, commenced at 7:48 am Hawaiian Time. Over the course of seven hours there were coordinated Japanese attacks on the United States-held Philippines, Guam, and Wake Island and on the British Empire in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Japan intended this attack as a preventative action to keep the United States Pacific Fleet from interfering with its planned military actions against the territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States in Southeast Asia. 188 aircraft were destroyed and 159 were damaged. This attack sank four United States Navy battleships, damaged four others, damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, and one minelayer. The attack killed 2,403 American servicemen and injured 1,178 others. On Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service attacked Naval Station Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, without a declaration of war and without warning. Today, we remember the tragic events that took place on this fateful day. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth.December 7 is the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. I urge all Federal agencies and interested organizations, groups, and individuals to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff this December 7 in honor of those American patriots who died as a result of their service at Pearl Harbor. I encourage all Americans to observe this solemn day of remembrance with appropriate ceremonies and activities. NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Monday, December 7, 2009, as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. The Congress, by Public Law 103-308, as amended, has designated December 7 of each year as "National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day." Today, and every day, we draw strength from the moment when the best among us defended an island and a Nation from the onslaught of tyranny, and forever altered the course of our history. This courage is not uncommon in the story of America - a story of heroes whose sacrifice and valor speak to their love of comrades and country and whose goodness guides our quest for lasting peace. And in the months and years that followed, Americans all across the country would respond to Pearl Harbor with firm resolve, many joining our Armed Forces to defend our shores and our freedom. In that darkest hour, men and women who had considered themselves ordinary found within themselves the ability to do something extraordinary. They defended their positions, fought back against the attackers, and cared for the wounded. ![]() Japanese airplanes had launched an unprovoked assault on our military with immense firepower, and our service members valiantly answered the call. On a tranquil Sunday morning, as war raged around the globe, the attack on Pearl Harbor effectively ended American isolation - thrusting our Nation into action. On National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and we honor all those who selflessly served our Nation at home and abroad during World War II. ![]() Roosevelt declared December 7, 1941, a "date which will live in infamy." With over 3,500 Americans killed or wounded, the surprise attack by the Imperial Japanese on Pearl Harbor was an attempt to break the American will and destroy our Pacific Fleet. ![]() Presidential Proclamation - National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day ![]() For instance, a rainbow color theme will be unsuitable for a corporate business page.

So, in short, the index is $01de00 - 2*1de = 01da44 $1de is the number of sectors (sector $100 bytes), and if we lose 2 bytes/sector, that has to be subtracted from the original address somehow. There are only 16 bits of meaningful data. The problem was that the loader asked for data from $01de00. The game asks for data via certain indexes which turned out to be the address for the data. rel file starts at, so I could write some loader code to jump into the correct index when side2 is needed and so on.Īlter Ego has its data spread across 6 floppy sides, and when I had combined all of the data, I had a whopping 823kbytes of female and 844k of male data. All I had to do was just remove the header in front of each file and make notes about the index the next. rel files and combined them into an ide64 compatible format. After some investigation, it's just a bunch of regular looking sectors with only $fd bytes of actual data in them. I also realized that I don't have a clue what a. A pointer to the next sector is included in the accessed sector, so it keeps reading until everything has been read. The drive gets the seek command from the c64, loads some tables and finds the wanted sector from the floppy. I spent quite some time reverse-engineering the code and figuring out how it worked. Too bad that those are not even a challenge when you have an emulator and breakpoints, so getting readable code was quite simple. Straight away I stumbled into some not-so-hacker-friendly code involving encryption. rel files, as it seemed to use a custom loader instead of the kernal routines. The first part of the quest was to find the floppy routines to understand how the game accessed those. I chose the female version, because back in the 80s I didn't have it, so why not take a peek now? The Male and Female versions ought to be the same anyway? So after finishing several of my unfinished projects, I finally started to look into the code for Alter Ego Female version. Many other multi-floppy games had been ported already, but no one had provided this title. But it didn't work, and there was no fix for it either.

Whisk tahini into sour cream and onion dip for some extra flavor, or use it in a white bean dip. In a pinch, you can even sub peanut butter or yogurt for tahini! If you don’t have that on hand, cashew or almond butter work well. Our favorite tahini substitute is sunflower seed butter - or better yet, grind your own sunflower seeds along with sesame seed oil. If you don’t have tahini on hand, there’s no need to rush out to buy some in order to make a recipe that uses it - though after reading this article, we hope you’ll want to! In the meantime, however, there are a few substitutes that work well. Regardless of whether it’s kept in the fridge or not, tahini should be kept in a cool, dry place to preserve the oils for as long as possible. Storing it in the fridge will extend its shelf life, however, but also make it thicker and sometimes more difficult to mix with other ingredients. Tahini is shelf-stable even after it’s been opened, which means you can store it in the cupboard. And of course, it’s always available in Middle Eastern groceries. ![]() Sometimes it’s found in a gourmet/specialty aisle near nice oils, olives, and dips. In the grocery store, you’re most likely to find tahini in either the international foods aisle or the condiments aisle, near other seed and nut butters. It’s been shown to improve heart health, reduce inflammation, and may even offer some protective benefits against cancer. Tahini is high in fiber and protein, as well as essential nutrients such as copper, selenium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc. It’s decidedly savory, with hints of bitterness that can help balance out other flavors in a dish. It’s often the consistency of peanut butter or a little thinner, and can be used in similar ways. Tahini is a smooth paste of ground sesame seeds mixed with oil. Sperm dysfunction is the most common cause of infertility in men. Genetic studies have revealed that mutations in the X chromosome and autosomal genes impair spermatogenesis, which has been reported in various animal models, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila (fruit fly), and Mus musculus (mouse) ( 12). Around 4,000 genes have been reported to participate in human spermatogenesis. Abnormalities in chromosome structure and number have been found in 4% of patients with azoospermia or oligozoospermia, as an abnormal chromosome structure leads to abnormal meiosis and spermatogenesis failure ( 11). Several genetic abnormalities have been associated with impaired spermatogenesis. It is regulated by a myriad of factors that are involved in the development of subfertility. Spermatogenesis is a complex differentiation process in which cells transform from spermatogonia to mature sperm through many stages and is a key event in male fertility. We also discuss the conclusions and future perspectives on male infertility.įactors influencing spermatogenesis impairment and male infertility We present the positive and negative effects of macronutrients and micronutrients genetic, environmental, and endocrine factors and trace elements on male spermatogenesis and fertility. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive review on the effects of nutrients on male infertility. ![]() This review provides up-to-date information to better understand the positive and negative effects of selected macronutrients and micronutrients on male fertility. Dietary and feed supplements can improve the male reproductive performance and help eliminate infertility. The lack of some trace elements can also perturb reproductive function and sperm quality, which can negatively impact spermatogenesis, sperm quality, and male fertility ( 10).Ĭhemical elements play important roles in male reproduction because imbalance of micronutrients or macronutrients may lead to spermatogenesis defects and decreased libido, resulting in male infertility. Magnesium and calcium maintain the osmotic balance of the male reproductive system and contribute to nutrient transport and gland function. Zinc, manganese, selenium, and copper have antioxidant effects and reduce lipid peroxidation ( 9). These elements are essential for normal spermatogenesis and sperm movement, maturation, and capacitation ( 8). Human semen contains many trace elements, such as iron, zinc, copper, strontium, selenium, molybdenum, manganese, lead, arsenic, cadmium, vanadium, and cobalt. Trace elements play a significant role in sexual health, spermatogenesis, sperm maturation, and capacitation. Environmental factors can affect semen quality by impairing spermatogenesis, steroid production, and sperm function, resulting in a decline in male fertility ( 7). Semen quality is the major index of male fertility and is determined on the basis of various factors semen quality and quantity vary according to age, disease, sexual activity, and diet. Endocrine disruptor chemicals (EDCs) alter endocrine system processes and adversely affect the organism itself or its offspring ( 6). The oxidative stress induced by exposure to heavy metals is thought to affect male sperm production. Environmental factors, such as exposure to heavy metals, affect male sperm production and fertility. Genetic abnormalities can lead to spermatogenic disorders and account for 15–30% of male infertility ( 2, 5). Several factors have been reported to cause male infertility, including genetic, environmental, and endocrine factors ( 4). ![]() It is characterized by several features, such as oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, and teratozoospermia. ![]() ![]() Male infertility is mainly diagnosed via semen analysis, including determination of the sperm concentration/total number, motility, and morphology ( 3). An estimated 45% of infertility cases involve only men while 20% involve both women and men ( 2). According to the World Health Organization and the International Committee for Monitoring Assisted Reproductive Technology, infertility is a reproductive system disease defined as the failure to achieve clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of routine unprotected sex ( 1). Infertility is a disease with psychological, economic, and medical consequences that can lead to trauma and stress. |
