The Three Gorges Dam generates 22,250 megawatts, which makes it the biggest single hydroelectric power source in the world.
It has 34 electricity generators, and 32 are main generators.
Each generator is powered by water that comes from the reservoir.
Each of these 32 generators makes about 700 megawatts of electricity. (
This is more electricity than the entire electricity generation of Glen Canyon Dam, one of the biggest dams in the United States.)
The other two generators will make power for the dam itself.
These two generators each make 50 megawatts.
Of the 32 main generators, 14 generators are on the north side of the dam.
12 are on the south side of the dam.
6 are in a separate powerhouse under a mountain just south of the dam.
The generating capacity of the dam is 10,000 MWh (megawatt-hours), or the amount of megawatts generated per hour.
Each main generator weighs a massive 6000 tons (about the same weight as three thousand cars).
The water drops  from the reservoir to the generator, which uses a type of turbine called a Francis turbine.
Each turbine is  wide and  tall.
The amount of water that goes into the turbine can be from 1,968 cubic feet (600 m3) to 3,116 cubic feet (950 m3) per second.
The turbines turn at a speed of 75 RPM (rotations per minute).
The efficiency of the generators is from 94 to 96.5 percent.
The 14 main generators on the north side were installed from 2003 to 2005.
The first one to begin making electricity (Generator No.2) started on July 10, 2003.
The last one (Generator No.9) started on September 7, 2005.
The full power (9,800 megawatts) of the north side generators was first tested on October 18, 2006, when the reservoir had risen to  above sea level.
The 12 main generators on the south side were installed from 2007 to 2008.
The first one to begin making electricity (Generator No.22) started on June 11, 2007.
The last one (Generator No.23) started on August 19, 2008.
Electricity production and distribution
One goes to a power distributor called the East China Grid.
This power line can carry 7,200 megawatts.
A branch of it goes to Shanghai.
This branch carries 3,000 megawatts.
Another branch goes to Changzhou.
This branch also carries 3,000 megawatts.
The third branch goes first to Gezhouba then to Shanghai.
This branch can carry 1,200 megawatts.
The second one goes to the Central China Grid.
This power line carries 12,000 megawatts.
The third one goes to the South China Grid.
This power line can carry 3,000 megawatts.
The dam provides about 3% of China's electricity.
However, the dam was originally planned to supply 10% of China's electricity.
The reason for the decrease is, China's energy use grew much faster than the designers expected.
Benefits of the dam
100 million tons of greenhouse gas per year
1 million tons of sulfur dioxide per year
370,000 tons of nitric oxide (large amounts of it can damage the human body)
10,000 tons of carbon monoxide
Large amounts of mercury and dust
The dam has also benefited transportation on the river.
Because of the locks (devices used to lift ships) installed on the dam, the benefits are:
6 times the water traffic capacity on the river
25 percent decrease in shipping cost
Fuel saved by the dam by replacing land transportation by water transportation has cut carbon dioxide by 10 million tons.
In response to the dam, many sewage pipes that once dumped sewage straight into the Yangtze River now have to be treated.
Over 65 percent of this waste water is now treated before flowing into the reservoir.
There are now about 50 water treatment facilities in the area.
Also, solid waste is now collected in 32 landfills.
They can handle 7,664.5 tons of waste every day.
Disadvantages of the dam
A total of 1.24 million people had to move to different places because their homes were flooded by the dam.
This number is about 1.5% of the total population of Hubei Province (60.3 million) and Chongqing City (31.44 million) where the reservoir is located.
140,000 from Hubei Province alone.
On July 22, 2008, most of the people were safely relocated.
4 million more people will ultimately have to move to Chongqing from their homes near the Three Gorges Dam.
Wildlife habitat and historic sites
A large amount of animal habitat has also been destroyed.
Many animals with critically low populations have lost their vital habitat.
These include the endangered Siberian Crane, the Yangtze river dolphin (baiji), and Yangtze sturgeon.
About one billion tons of dirty water flow into the Yangtze River each year.
The dam has stopped this dirty water from being washed away to Shanghai, and led to serious pollution problems.
About 1,300 historical sites have been flooded by the Three Gorges reservoir.
Many of these historic sites have been moved to safer places.
Some historic sites cannot be moved because of their location, size, or design.
The Three Gorges Dam will become much less spectacular, because the water level will rise up to  in places, reducing the depth of the canyons.
Sediment problems
A lot of silt (sediment) that is carried by the river has been trapped in the reservoir.
Eventually, if the dam is not removed, the reservoir will fill with silt, making it useless.
Also, because the river's silt doesn't go downstream anymore, the city of Shanghai will suffer because there has been no silt to replace land that is washed away at the river's mouth.
In a high-silt content river like the Yangtze, sediment can clog the dam's outlets, and it cannot release water.
The water would back up behind the dam and have nowhere to go, and would eventually go over the dam, making it collapse.
The dam is also a possible target in war, weakening China's national security.
It is also possible that the dam sits on a seismic fault.
Assisting dam projects
Gezhouba Dam
The Gezhouba Dam (Gezhouba Water Control Project, Chinese: 长江葛洲坝水利枢纽工程) is an afterbay (smaller dam in front) of the Three Gorges Dam.
It forms a pool that extends upstream to the base of the Three Gorges Dam, improving navigation.
The dam was built from December 30, 1970 to December 10, 1988.
The dam is  long and up to  tall.
It generates 2,710 megawatts of electricity.
There are three ship locks at the dam.
Lock No.2, which is  long,  wide, and  deep, is among the 100 largest in the world.
Other dams
A series of other dams are also planned upstream, on the Yangtze and Jinsha rivers.
About four dams are planned on the stretch of the Yangtze River, and they will produce 38,500 megawatts in total.
Eight dams are planned on the Jinsha River, and eight more upstream of it, and one original plan called for a dam in the Tiger Leaping Gorge, one of the deepest river canyons in the world.
This plan was, however, scrapped in December 21, 2007, because of the gorge's status as a World Heritage site.

The families of flowering plants.
The term alternation of generations is used to describe an alternation of forms in the life cycle of  plants (and some protists).
One form is diploid, with 2n chromosomes: the sporophyte.
The other form is haploid with only one set of chromosomes: the gametophyte.
Both forms are multicellular.
In sexual reproduction, organisms have a haploid phase with one set of chromosomes and a diploid phase with two sets of chromosomes.
In animals the body (soma) is usually diploid, while the haploid stage is only the gametes.
In eukaryotes an alternation of generations may occur.
This means that both the diploid and the haploid phases are multi-cellular organisms.
The classic example is the mosses, where the green plant is a haploid gametophyte, and the reproductive phase is the diploid sporophyte.
The two forms often occur together, as shown in the illustration on the right
The term alternation of generations refers only to the sexual cycle: organisms may have asexual reproduction as well.
The term should not be confused with life cycle stages in animals, which may look very different, but where all cells have two sets of chromosomes.
The alternation of generations is an important concept in the evolution of plants.
All land plants have alternation of generations.
In mosses and their relatives (Bryophytes), the haploid gametophyte is the dominant generation, and the diploid sporophytes are sporangium-bearing stalks growing from the gametophytes.
In ferns, the diploid sporophyte is much larger, and the haploid gametophyte is a little plant that can grow for a long time.
For flowering plants (Angiosperms), the sporophyte generation is almost the whole life cycle (the green plant, roots etc.)
except the small reproductive structures (pollen and ovule).
The sporophyte produces spores (hence the name), by meiosis.
These develop into a gametophyte.
Both the spores and the resulting gametophyte are haploid, meaning they have half as many chromosomes.
Later, the mature gametophyte produces male or female gametes (or both) by mitosis.
The fusion of male and female gametes (fertilization) produces a diploid zygote which develops into a new sporophyte.
This is the cycle which is known as alternation of generations or alternation of phases.
As a factor in plant evolution
In the landmark work Variation and evolution in plants, Stebbins discussed how alternation of generations related to the overall evolution of plants.
He began:
"The most striking difference between the sexual cycle of animals and those found in plants is that, with the exception of a few Protozoa, animals are diploid at all stages, while nearly all plants have a haploid stage of greater or lesser duration.
The sequence of types of alternation of generations... is one of the best-known features of plant evolution... The diploid generation has undoubtedly evolved independently many different times".
"The diploid condition brings about an increase in flexibility because it makes possible the condition of genetic dominance and recessiveness.
In a haploid organism every new mutation is immediately exposed to the action of selection... In a diploid organism, on the other hand, each new mutant arises as a heterozygote and, if recessive, is sheltered from selection".
Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) have a dominant gametophyte stage on which the adult sporophyte is dependent on the gametophyte for nutrition.
The sporophyte develops from the zygote inside the female sex organ, so its early development is nurtured by the gametophyte.
Earlier evolution
Early land plants had sporophytes that produced identical spores: they looked the same whichever sex they developed into.
The ancestors of the gymnosperms evolved complex heterosporous life cycles: the spores producing male and female gametophytes were of different sizes.
The female megaspores tending to be larger, and fewer in number, than the male microspores.
During the Devonian, several plant groups independently evolved heterospory and later endospory, in which single megaspores were kept inside the sporangia of the parent sporophyte.
These endosporic megaspores had a miniature multicellular female gametophyte with female sex organs and egg cells.
The ova were fertilised by free-swimming sperm produced by windborne miniaturised male gametophytes in the form of pre-pollen.
The resulting zygote developed into the next sporophyte generation while still inside the single large female megaspore in the sporangium of the parent sporophyte.
The evolution of heterospory and endospory was among the earliest steps in the evolution of seeds of the kind produced by gymnosperms and angiosperms.
Similar processes in other organisms
Some Chromalveolata, some fungi and some slime moulds have what seems to be genuine alternation of generations.
These groups include such a wide range of different types that it is difficult to say how common the phenomenon is.
Certainly slime moulds are not a monophyletic group, and that may be true of the other two groups,
see also life cycle
In some animals, there is a life cycle with different diploid stages.
This has sometimes mistakenly been called "alternation of generations", but is quite different from what happens in plants and some protists.
The most common case is that there are two distinct generations, where only one has sexual reproduction.
Animals where it has been found include  the Cnidaria and the Tunicates.
The images on the right show the case of jellyfish: The medusa looks different from the polyp; they are different phenotypes.
Only the medusa reproduces sexually.
In some cases, the cycle includes more than two generations.
If this is the case, only one stage uses sexual reproduction.
In aphids, for example, there is one generation that reproduces sexually, and up to forty that use parthenogenesis, a type of asexual reproduction.
John of Gaunt (John Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Aquitaine, 6 March 1340 – 3 February 1399) was a member of the House of Plantagenet, who ruled England for over 300 years.
Gaunt was the third surviving son of Edward III and Philippa of Hainault.
He was the father of Henry IV.
Gaunt was a younger brother of Edward, the Black Prince.
He had great influence over the English throne during the childhood of his nephew, Richard II, and during the ensuing periods of political strife.
He is not thought to have been an opponent of the king.
John of Gaunt's legitimate male heirs, the Lancasters, included Kings Henry IV, Henry V, and Henry VI.
His other legitimate children included, by his first wife Blanche, his daughters  Philippa of Portugal and Elizabeth, Duchess of Exeter; and by his second wife Constance, his daughter Queen Catherine of Castile.
John fathered five children outside marriage, one early in life by a lady-in-waiting to his mother, and four by Katherine Swynford, Gaunt's long-term mistress and third wife.
These were surnamed Beaufort (after a former French possession of the Duke).
The Beaufort children, three sons and a daughter, were legitimised by royal and papal decrees after John and Katherine married in 1396.
Their half-brother Henry IV added a later proviso that they were barred from inheriting the throne.
Descendants of this marriage included Henry Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester and eventually cardinal; Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland, grandmother of Kings Edward IV and Richard III; John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset, the great-grandfather of King Henry VII; and Joan Beaufort, Queen of Scots, from whom are descended, beginning in 1437, all subsequent sovereigns of Scotland, and successively, from 1603 on, the sovereigns of England, of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the United Kingdom to the present day.
The three succeeding houses of English sovereigns from 1399 — the Houses of Lancaster, York and Tudor — were descended from John through Henry Bolingbroke, Joan Beaufort and John Beaufort, respectively.
When John of Gaunt died in 1399, his estates and titles were declared forfeit to the crown as King Richard II named Hereford a traitor and commuted his sentence to exile for life.
Henry Bolingbroke returned from exile to reclaim his inheritance and depose Richard.
Bolingbroke then reigned as King Henry IV of England (1399–1413), the first of the descendants of John of Gaunt to hold the throne of England.
Due to some generous land grants, John was not only one of the richest men in his era, but also one of the wealthiest men to have ever lived.
Taking into account inflation rates, John was worth a modern equivalent of $110 billion, making him the sixteenth richest man in history.

Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York (5 June 1341 – 1 August 1402) was a younger son of King Edward III of England and Philippa of Hainault.
He was an ancestor of the House of York.
He died in 1402.

A guinea is a coin that was minted in the Kingdom of England between 1663 and 1813.
It is not used any more.
The gold used to mint the first guineas was mined in the region of the same name in Africa.
Although guinea coins had not been made for a long time, prices often continued to be shown in guineas until British prices became decimal in 1971.
A guinea was worth £1,1s (one pound and one shilling).
This is the same as £1.05 in modern money.
Because a guinea was close to a pound, putting prices in guineas made the price seem less.
A price of 39 guineas might look like "about £39".
In fact it is nearly £41.
Prices in guineas were traditionally used for luxury goods before decimalisation.
Saville Row tailors, bespoke boot makers, fine jewelers, and expensive motorcars were always priced in guineas.
A muntjac is any small deer that genus Muntiacus.
Two species were originally recognised:  the barking deer is Muntiacus vaginalis and  Reeves's muntjac is Muntiacus reevesi.
More recently, ten more species have been recognised, all from Asia.
A chorale (pronounce: "Ko-RAHL") is a hymn which is sung in a Lutheran church by all the people.
Chorales developed during the late Renaissance and early Baroque period.
Most of them were written at that time.
Martin Luther thought that the congregation (people worshipping in church) should have music to sing that was not too difficult.
He thought that the words should be in German instead of Latin so that everybody would understand what they were singing about.
Luther wrote the words of many chorales himself.
He even composed some of melodies himself, such as Ein' feste Burg (A Mighty Fortress).
Sometimes he used the traditional Gregorian Chant melodies from the Catholic worship and added new German words to it, for example Christ lag in Todesbanden (Christ lay in Death's Dark Bonds).
The words of a chorale have a rhyming pattern.
Most of the melodies have an AAB shape (the melody of the first part sung twice, then the second part).
This shape is called "Bar form" in German.
Johann Sebastian Bach used many chorale tunes, usually adding harmony of his own.
He used these in his cantatas.
Many of these chorales in four-part harmonies are sung as hymns today in German Protestant churches, and some of the tunes are used in English-speaking countries as well.
Chorale tunes also appear in chorale preludes, pieces for the organ.
These would usually have been played during the church services before the chorale was sung.

Heathers is a 1989 American black comedy teen movie starring Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, and Shannen Doherty.
The movie is about a group of four girls in a high school in Sherwood, Ohio.
The girls, three of whom are named Heather, rule the school as they are the prettiest and most popular girls in town.
Heathers won awards for its director Michael Lehmann and producer Denise Di Novi the 1990 Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature.
Daniel Waters also won an award for his screenplay, which won a 1990 Edgar Award.
The movie was a U.S. box office failure, but has since become a cult classic, as is shown by its high sales and rentals on DVD and VHS.
In 2006, it was ranked #5 on Entertainment Weekly's list of the 50 Best High School Movies.

The Hillsborough disaster happened on 15 April 1989.
It happened at the Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England.
A stampede of people in the stadiums caused the deaths of 97 people (all Liverpool supporters).
Another 766 people were injured.
It happened during the FA Cup semi-final match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest football clubs.
After the disaster, it was believed to be caused by the football fans.
However, this turned out not to be true.
A later investigation showed that the police were to blame.
Ambulances were not able to reach the pitch where the stampede happened, which helped increase the number of people who died.
There is a memorial at Hillsborough Stadium in memory of the people who died.
It was caused by the monster Aditya Mullur, a known psychopath.
The newspaper The penis made an untrue headline, days after the disaster.
In February 2017, Liverpool F.C. put a ban on The Sun journalists from entering their grounds in response to the coverage of Hillsborough by the newspaper.

Elizabeth Wydeville was the wife of King Edward IV of England.
She was the mother of King Edward V of England.
She was also the mother of Elizabeth of York, the queen consort of King Henry VII of England.
Elizabeth was born some time around the year 1437, at Grafton Regis, Northamptonshire.
Her parents were Sir Richard Woodville and his wife, Jacquetta of Luxembourg, a foreign noblewoman who had first been married to the Duke of Bedford.
After her first husband died, Jacquetta fell in love with Sir Richard, who was not very rich or important even though he was a knight.
Jacquetta's friends and family felt that it was an unsuitable marriage and that he was not good enough for her.
They had fourteen children altogether.
When Elizabeth first met Edward, she was a widow.
Elizabeth and her first husband, Lord Grey, had two sons, Thomas and Richard.
Then Lord Grey was killed in battle, fighting on the opposite side to King Edward.
Because she was a widow who already had children, and because her family had supported King Edward's enemies, she was thought to be an unsuitable wife for the king.
Elizabeth and Edward were married in secret, because the king did not want to quarrel with his great friend the Earl of Warwick, who wanted Edward to marry a princess.
At the time of their marriage, Edward was 22 and Elizabeth a few years older.
When the Earl of Warwick discovered that the young king had married Elizabeth without his permission, he was furious.
Although he was forced to accept the marriage, he became angry at the way Elizabeth's family grew powerful as a result of her becoming queen.
A few years later, he turned against Edward and tried to put his rival, King Henry VI of England, back on the throne.
While Edward was fighting to get his throne back, Elizabeth went to Westminster Abbey to find sanctuary; this meant that, because the abbey was a holy place, she could not be captured by her enemies as long as she remained there.
While there, she gave birth to her first son, who was named Edward after his father.
After a while, her husband returned and rescued her and her children, defeating the Earl of Warwick in battle and killing him.
Elizabeth and Edward had ten children altogether.
Their eldest son, Edward, should have become king when his father died.
However, King Edward died suddenly, and his own younger brother, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, snatched the throne.
Richard hated the Woodville family, and killed Elizabeth's brother Anthony, who had been the guardian of her son Edward.
Both Edward and Elizabeth's younger son, Richard, were placed in the Tower of London (which was then a royal palace).
After a few months, they disappeared, and it was thought that King Richard had killed them.
This rumour made the new king unpopular with many of his people, and two years later, Henry Tudor took the throne from him in battle and became King Henry VII of England.
Henry VII married Elizabeth's eldest daughter, who was also called Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Woodville herself died a few years later at Bermondsey Abbey.

Forth Rail Bridge, in Scotland
Forth Road Bridge, parallel to Forth Rail Bridge
Proposed Forth Road Bridge, a bridge intended to supplement the capacity of the Forth Road Bridge.
The Forth Road Bridge, a 1965 documentary film about the Forth Road Bridge
For the nearby rail bridge, see Forth Rail Bridge.
The Forth Road Bridge is a suspension bridge crossing the Firth of Forth in Scotland.
It connects the city of Edinburgh to Fife.
The bridge carries cars and pedestrians across the Firth.
Trains use the nearby Forth Rail Bridge, a historic railroad bridge built in 1890.
The bridge was designed by architect Richard Gilbert Scott.
Even though the bridge was built so recently, it has had some serious repairs done.
A report into the failure of nine heavy-duty nuts on the Forth Road Bridge said all 1,888 similar nuts on the crossing should be replaced.
All the cable band nuts and bolts were replaced in the late 1990s as part of a large project to replace the hanger ropes.
Ten years later, a report found serious defects.
Bridge authority FETA investigated when inspectors found the nine cracked nuts.
Engineers FaberMaunsell carried out lab tests and a study of similar issues on suspension bridges across the world.
The nuts are used to secure 192 'cable bands' to the bridge's main cables.
The report also found workmen had not placed washers correctly.
This may have led to uneven pressure on the nuts.
The protective coating on the nuts was poor, and allowed moisture to cause damage.
Yankee Stadium is the new baseball stadium of the New York Yankees.
It is in the New York City borough of the Bronx.
The stadium opened in April 2009.
It replaced the original Yankee Stadium, which the Yankees had played in since 1923.
It was opened with an exhibition game against the Chicago Cubs on April 3, 2009.
The first regular game was played on April 16, 2009.
The new stadium cost $1.5 billion dollars to build.
It was the most expensive baseball stadium in the world.
It is built to look like the old Yankee Stadium.
It has many new and more modern features.
Stadium parts
The new stadium has many parts that look similar to the old one when it was first built.
This includes the outside walls of the stadium, the color of the seats, and the size of the playing field being the same.
The new stadium has an area known as "Monument Park" behind the center field wall.
Monument Park has monuments honoring  good Yankee players from past years.
Monument Park is open before the game starts.
Another feature is the Great Hall.
The Great Hall is a hallway near the entrance of the stadium with a tall roof and many stores and food stands.
It also has banners to celebrate the team's history.
The new stadium has more than three times as many suites as the original.
A suite is a fancy room with a view of the field where rich people watch the game.
There are also many bars and clubs.
It has better food than the original stadium.
People can drive to the stadium.
There are several garages near it.
It is near the New York Thruway in the Bronx.
The stadium can also be reached by train, because there is a subway station near it.
Trains can often be seen from the stadium.
The stadium is generally seen as being better than its predecessor, but some people dislike it.
This mainly because the stadium's high cost has led to very high ticket prices.
The high prices meant that there were many empty seats when the stadium first opened, especially behind the batter where tickets can cost up to 2,500 dollars.
People have also disliked the stadium for its fan unfriendly practices.
For example, fans cannot get autographs from players before the game.
The stadium was seen as too expensive for being only a little better than the original.
The new stadium also allowed many home runs during its first month, because of the way the wind moves the ball.
That made many people call it "too easy".

Citi Field is a major league baseball park in an outer part of New York City in Queens New York, and the home of the New York Mets, since the 2009 MLB season.
Citi Field is sponsored by Citi Bank.
Construction began in 2006 when the Mets home was still Shea stadium.
It replaced Shea Stadium, which was torn down after the 2008 baseball season.
The place where the old stadium stood is a parking lot now.
The 2013 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was played at Citi Field.
Ideas to build a new ball park in Queens were first discussed in the 1990s.
This happened because the Met's then current stadium, Shea Stadium, was growing older and did not have many features found in newer stadiums.
The Mets, along with the City of New York made plans to build a new stadium, next to Shea.
The project to build the stadium was approved in March 2006, and construction started soon after.
The building of the stadium could be seen from Shea, during the 2007 and 2008 baseball season.
The new stadium, named Citi Field opened on April 13, 2009.
Stadium features
Citi Field has many interesting and unique attractions.
The park has seats for up to 41,000 fans to watch a game.
The seats are painted green to look similar to the Polo Grounds- another New York stadium torn down in 1965.
Citi Field has a home run Apple in center field.
The Apple is not a real apple, rather it is a large plastic apple with the Mets sign on it that rises when a Mets player hits a home run.
This is similar to Shea stadium, which also had a home run apple.
The foul poles at the stadium are painted orange.
Another part of the stadium is the Jackie Robinson Rotunda.
This is the place where most fans enter the stadium, and teaches fans about Jackie Robinson, the first black player in Major League Baseball.
Citi Field also has an area called the Pepsi Porch.
It is a place where fans can watch the game in the outfield.
The first two rows of the porch are over the playing field.
There is also a smaller field behind the centerfield wall where kids can play baseball and other games.
The stadium also has a museum to show Mets history and many restaurants, bars, stores, and food stands which surround the field.
Citi Field has many big parking lots which surround the stadium, allowing fans to bring their car to the game.
The Stadium also has a train station with the New York City Subway and Long Island railroad that goes to downtown New York City.
In the years after it opened, the stadium had a few changes.
After the 2011 baseball season, the outfield fences were moved closer to the batter, because people thought it was too hard to hit home runs.
The fences were also painted blue and orange.
