  • Abstract and Table of Contents
    430 MW combined cycle power plant National Infrastructure Plan #34 Environmental Impact Assessment Including response to requirements of completions, November 2012 "And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around…." Ezekiel 1:27 EIA for National Infrastructures Plan 34 – IPM Power Plant – November 2012 Conducted and Edited by AdaMa – Environmental and Geological Sciences About the project - National Infrastructure Plan No. 43 ("The plan") designates land and determines building instructions for the construction of a power plant with a capacity of about 430 MW. The power plant ("The plant") will be fuel burned by natural gas. Initiating the station and declaring it as a national infrastructure is the result of the Ministry of National Infrastructure and The Ministry of Environmental Protection Policy. According to the Ministry of Infrastructure's policy, 20% of production capacity in the country will be from power plants owned by private producers, which will be duly licensed by the state. According to the Ministry of Environment Policy, power plant will be located in areas designated for industry. The first version of the EIA was submitted in September 2011. The EIA submitted in January 2012 contains additions required by the environmental consultant of the National Infrastructure Committee. The current version is submitted after completing the conditions for deposit as provided by the permit of the environmental consultant of the National Infrastructure Committee. The proposed station is on a lot the size of approximately 60 "dunam" (unit for measuring land area, about 1/4 acre) in the Beer Tuvia industrial zone, tangent to road 40.

    Plant Fact Sheet Weed information is also available from the PLANTS CREEPING BURHEAD Web site at http://plants.usda.gov. Please consult the Related Web Sites on the Plant Profile for this species for Echinodorus cordifolius further information. (L.) Griseb. Plant Symbol = ECCO3 Description and Adaptation Creeping burhead is a creeping annual or short-lived Contributed by: USDA NRCS Jamie L. Whitten Plant perennial. The leaves are broadly heart shaped, 2-7 Materials Center, Coffeeville, MS inches long and almost as wide. The principal veins are conspicuous and impressed on the upper surface of the leaf blade. The petioles are 4-20 inches long, enlarged and spongy towards the base. The flowering shoot (scape) can reach 3 feet or more in length; scapes are upright when young, often drooping and rooting at the tips to produce new plantlets. Numerous whorls of flowers with white petals and greenish centers are located along the scape. Flowering begins in June and continues until frost. The fruiting heads are round, bur like clusters of small brown seeds. The native range of the species is from Maryland south to Florida, west to Missouri and the panhandle of Texas. It is usually found growing in swamps, wet woodlands, marshes, and ditches. There are some indications that it prefers a slightly shaded location. Best growth is generally on wetland soils with fairly high organic matter. Figure 1 Creeping burhead Alternate Names None listed. Uses Creeping burhead is an attractive aquatic plant that is recommended for use in shallow ponds and pools. It may also be suitable for use in constructed wetlands.

  • Ninety Years of Habonim-Dror Sa: a Short History
    NINETY YEARS OF HABONIM-DROR SA: A SHORT HISTORY By Gideon Shimoni, October 2020 FOUNDATIONS: A JEWISH SCOUT MOVEMENT The extraordinary significance of Zionism as sentiment, ideology and organization is perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of South African Jewry, and youth movements have always been Zionism's beating heart and conscience. Habonim (now Habonim-Dror), founded in early 1931, has been the largest and most influential of these youth movements, at least until the last few decades when the orthodox-religious youth movement, Bnei Akiva, challenged its status. To be sure, flourishing youth societies, engaging youth above 16 years of age, existed before Habonim was founded. Known as Judean Societies, and Young Israel Societies, their activities were coordinated in 1932 through the formation of a Zionist Youth Council affiliated to the Zionist Federation. However, Habonim was the first youth movement that focused upon the adolescent age group (initially 12 to 16 years) and engaged each generation of its own graduates in the hadracha (guidance ) of the next generation of Jewish youth. When Norman and Nadia Lourie founded Habonim, it was essentially as a Jewish equivalent of Baden-Powell’s Boy Scouts. It was entirely independent and autonomous. Lourie himself had adopted the idea in London where he had joined Wellesley Aron in the founding of Habonim on the same model about a year earlier. Its underlying educational purpose was to foster character development in a healthily fun-filled, Jewishly meaningful and socially caring spirit. However, from the outset, the main emphasis was on identification with the Jewish national renaissance epitomized by Zionism.

  • The PUA English Report 2011-2012
    Editor: Nurit Felter-Eitan, Authority Secretary & Spokeswoman All information provided in this report is provided for information purposes only and does not constitute a legal act. The hebrew translation is the current and accurate information. Information in this report is subject to change without prior notice. Greetings, I am delighted to hereby present the Israel Public Utility Authority’s (Electricity) biennial activity report for the years 2012-2011. This report summarizes the Authority’s Assembly’s extensive and meticulous work, assisted by the Authority’s team of professional employees, over the past two years, signifying a turning point in the Israeli electricity and energy markets. Alongside a severe energy crisis that befell the electricity market in the past two years due to the discontinuation of natural gas supply from Egypt and the creation of a gas supply monopoly, these years have seen a historic change in the electricity market, commencing with the admission of private electricity entrepreneurship and clean electricity production in significant capacities (the Authority’s projection for private electricity production is 25% by 2016, and approximately 10% for electricity production using renewable energy by 2020). As a result of the natural gas crisis, which began in 2011 due to recurring explosions in the gas lines leading from Egypt to Israel, the Electricity Authority was faced with a reality that would have forced it to instantly and radically increase in the electricity tariffs for the Israeli consumers in 2012. These circumstances led the Authority to combine forces with government bodies, including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and lead a comprehensive move which significantly restrained the tariff increase, and furthermore, relieved the electricity consumers’ burden in a manner that enabled spreading the tariff increase over three years.
