See Why Alex Trebek's Goodbye from 'Jeopardy' Was Even More Heartbreaking Than We Expected
Alex Trebek's final episode of Jeopardy aired tonight and the final moments of the half-hour were even more heartbreaking than we expected.
The longtime host filmed his final episode of the quiz show just 10 days before his death and he clearly expected to be back at work to do more episodes.
"Thank you ladies and gentlemen for spending the time with us. We'll see you again next week," Alex said in the clip.
Right after the send-off, the show cut to a farewell tribute for Alex that featured clips of him from his 37 seasons with the show. The montage ended with a title card that said, "Dedicated to Alex Trebek. Forever in our hearts. Always our inspiration."
Click inside to watch the video now…
It's heartbreaking to know that Alex was ready to film more episodes of the show before he passed away.
The show will indeed return next week with former champion Ken Jennings as the guest host. A second guest host has already been announced.

NZ Athletes / Obituaries / Our History
Jim Hinchco
Article by Caro Geelen, and thanks to Jan Jessen.
Born 1910 in Huntly, Jim Hinchco was one of the greatest archers New Zealand has ever produced, with a career that spanned over 30 years in the sport. He started during the war, taught by WJ Burton, another great archer from Gisborne. When archery tackle was practically unobtainable in New Zealand, Jim realized that the only solution was to make his own. For many years he was a full-time bowyer – largely supplying the New Zealand market unaided, his bows remaining apace with the international standards and models.
He was the first New Zealand archer to be given NZ representative status. In 1954 he shot in the US Field Championships, as a New Zealand rep, and finished 9th in a field of several hundred.
He was a member of the first ever NZ team. This team travelled to the Australian Champs in 1962. Jim won the target, clout and limited flight events. Between 1951 and 1972 Jim picked up 39 National titles and became the only man ever to be awarded the Master Bowman title – earned by winning national titles and pins in all facets of the sport with gear of his own manufacture.
His achievements include:
Life member of the NZAA (now Archery NZ)
Former National Councillor
First ever NZ Representative. He shot in the 1954 NAA (of USA) Field and Target Championships.
Member of first (unofficial) NZ team to Australia 1962, winning 3 events
Member of first Official NZ team to Australia in 1965
Our one and only Master Bowman
Shot in 1973 World Target Championships in Grenoble
Won 1100 FITA Star in 1975 with self-made keyhole bow
Won a total of 39 National Titles
Shot at 30 National tournaments – all but the inaugural one in Dunedin in 1948
President of the Mangere and Manukau Archery Clubs
Creator of Kauri Park Field Archery Club in Albany
To the complete detriment of the sport, on the evening of Saturday September 2nd, 1978, Jim was knocked down by a car when crossing the street and was killed. Jim was survived by wife Mabel, and children Valerie Tetley, Jan Jessen, Ros and John Hinchco.

FAQs On RankBrain Algorithm
August 7, 2018 Web TechnologyNo CommentsGuest Writer
RankBrain is an artificial intelligence learning-machine that helps to categorize all the search results in Google. In case you are questioning yourself on how this operates and fits with the overall Google ranking system, below is what Traffic Radius knows about RankBrain.
What is RankBrain?
lt is an artificial intelligence program that helps in preparing Google search results. RankBrain makes a guess about the words or phrases that are not familiar to it so as to get similar meaning and filter results. This makes it more effective to handle search queries that are unfamiliar to it.
What is the definition of Machine learning?
Machine learning is basically an application or Al (Artificial Intelligence) which provides a system with the ability to learn and advance automatically from previous experience, without being explicitly programmed.
Through machine learning, a computer is expected to evolve and work automatically without necessarily being provided with detailed programs.
What is meant by artificial intelligence?
It is simulation of human intellectual smartness by computer systems or other machines. These processes include, self-correction, reasoning (approximately and make some rules) and learning by acquiring information. Precise applications of artificial intelligence are, speech recognition, expert systems, and machine perception. The name Google Al is given to it because its intellectual capacity is man-made.
How is Google artificial intelligence distinct from machine-learning?
There is not much difference between them, as both can be used interchangeably. Google Artificial Intelligence (Google Al) is a broad concept of
machines being able to carry out various tasks in a smarter way. Machine learning, on the other hand, is a modern application of artificial intelligence based on the belief that we should give machines access to data and leave them to learn by themselves.
Is RankBrain a modern way in which processes search results?
Of course not, RankBrain is a Google overall search algorithm. This algorithm is a program of a computer, which is used to classify multiple pages that it recognizes and also finds the ones believed to be the query that is more significant.
What is the name given to Google's search algorithm?
lt is called Hummingbird. The overall algorithm does not have a name that is confirmed but in 2013, Google gave named it HumminQbird.
Is RankBrain part of Google's Hummingbird search algorithm?
According to our understanding, yes it is. Hummingbird is an overall search algorithm and it is composed of many different parts just like a motor vehicle has an engine and the engine also has many other parts.
RankBrain is the newest part of Hummingbird. RankBrain does not handle all the searches as an overall algorithm can do. Once we thought that RankBrain algorithm was called "PageRank". However, PageRank is one of the many parts of the entire RankBrain algorithm.
It has a distinct way of assigning credit to some pages based on the links from separate pages that point to them. PageRank is unique because it is the first name that Google gave to one of the many parts, since the search engine started in the year 1998.
What about the "signals" which Google uses to rank?
Signals are the things that Google analyzes before it ranks various web pages. In general, words are the signals. In case, the words are "bold" , that can also be a signal, which gets registered. Calculations that are used as main part of PageRank gives pages a PageRank score that is used as signal.
In case a page is noted noted to be mobile-friendly, that is an extra signal which gets noted. These signals are all processed by several parts in RankBrain algorithm to figure out the the page that Google acknowledges for various searches.
Are there multiple signals?
Google is known to consider at least 200 major ranking signals, which are evaluated by its algorithms. In turn, these major signals have up to 10,000 sub-signals or variations.
Is RankBrain the "third" while ranking the most vital signals?
Yes, it is. One of these signals go into the algorithm and ascertain the results that are deemed to have an appearance on Google search page. RankBrain has now become the third-most vital signal that contributes to the outcome of a query that is searched.
What is the first and second most important signals?
Links will continue to be the most important signal. The other important signal that is critical is "words". This includes all the words on the webpage and how Google deciphers these words when people type into the search box outside RankBrain dissection.
In March 2016, Google clearly stated that two most important factors are links and content. Although they did not stipulate which appeared preeminent between the two.
What does RankBrain do?
The main work of Google's RankBrain is to interpret the queries of the search users and locate the pages that have the exact words, which were searched. It tries to understand the submitted queries and make use of that understanding to provide the best possible answers.
Does it have any ways to locate pages, which do not have the exact search term?
Google already has some ways to locate the pages that do not contain the exact query terms entered. Of course yes, for a long time Google has been locating beyond the precise words searched by users.
For instance, some years back, if you had entered a word like "shoe", Google was smart enough to find a page that contained the term "shoes". This is because technically, these are two different words. "Stemming" makes Google smarter enabling it to acknowledge that shoes is a variation of the phrase "shoe".
Also, Google has smart synonyms. If you search the word sneakers, Google can understand that you meant running shoes. Similarly, it has also evolved to understand that there are multiple meanings for the phrase "Apple". While some pages refer to "apple – the fruit", the others refer to "Apple" the technology company.
What about Knowledge Graph?
ln 2012, Knowledge Graph was launched and since then Google has grown smarter about words connectivity. They also know how to precisely differentiate "things, not "strings", as described by the Google. Strings mean searching precisely strinQs of letters like the pages, which resemble the spelling of "Obama".
We we carried out a small search, we realized that Google has the capability to understand the query. For instance, when a person searches for "Obama", they apparently mean the United States President Barak Obama is the real person with links to other people, things or places.
Commonly, Knowledge Graph is a database built on actual things in the the universe and the similarities and connections between them. For example, when you search "when was Obama's wife born", you get an answer concerning Michele Obama without even using her name while searching.
How does RankBrain help to refine queries?
The method that Google follows to refine queries from users includes the creation of stemming lists, making database connections or creating synonym lists. Although it solely relies on human work, there is some automation involved.
Google processes approximately 3 billion searches in a single day. In 2007, 20″/o to 25″/o of queries had never been seen earlier. Since 2013, Google has fought to bring that figure down to about 15″/o. This is still a big deal because 450 million queries per day is definitely a huge Number.
Among these queries are multi-word queries and complex queries. RankBrain helps to clearly interpret these queries and translate them efficiently in order to provide the best outcomes for the search users.
Google has the capacity to see patterns and seemingly complex searches not connected so as to understand how related they are to one another. This learning will help Google to understand complex searches in future and identify if they are in any way similar to some topics.
Google does provide patterns search groups or give specific data in a way RankBrain guesses better page. But probably, if it is able to translate an obscure search that is more explicit, it may then produce better solutions.
What is a good example?
Though Google does not provide some group of common searches, there is a case of a certain RankBrain search probably helping. For instance, a search like "what is title of consumer highest level of the food chain" may sound like you are reffering to a person who "buys things".
However, it is also a scientific name for something which consumes food. To add to that, some levels of a consumer in food chain. This query in Google RankBrain, provides answers that are good, although the query itself is quite odd. That query is not different from a search like "topmost food chain".
RankBrain connects the primary long and complex queries to this shorter and more precise one. It understands that these two searches are related. Google leverages all the things it is aware of while receiving and processing the answers for the most common query.
Is Bing capable of doing this too with RankNet?
ln 2005, Microsoft started utilizing their own machine learning system known as RankNet. As part of what has now become the Bing search engine. Recently, the chief creator and researcher of RankNet was honored, however, for the past few years, Microsoft hardly speaks about RankNet.
Bing RankNet and Google RankBrain are the search engine that employs human searchers. It is very impressive that when you decide to search in Bing, provided as a simple example of how good Google RankBrain is, Bing will also give you great results including the listings that Google also returns. Although, one query does not imply that Bing RankNet is as awesome as Google RankBrain or the other way round.
Are there any other good examples?
Google RankBrain will not give you a fresh example: "The number of teaspoons that fills a cup". Google tends to favor results from Australia compared to the US for the query above, although they are not similar despite having the same names. Even searching without using RankBrain, outcomes might be the same because of the traditional ways of favoring the pages from Australian sites that are known for all the searchers using Google in places like Australia.
Is RankBrain providing any help?
RankBrain is believed to be making a great impression as Google is alleging. Google is moderately cautious and stable things get into its ranking algorithm. This is because it does some small tests regularly, but only launches significant changes that too only when it is completely confident.
When exactly did RankBrain start?
There has been a progressive roll out of RankBrain from early 2015 and it has been completely live and international for a few months for now.
Which are the affected queries?
ln October 2015, Google said that a very large fraction of the 15″/o or less queries, which Google never saw previously, are usually processed by RankBrain. In 2016 June, news was that RankBrain was used for all the queries that Google handles.
Does RankBrain learn all the time?
All the learning done by RankBrain is offline. RankBrain will be provided with every type of past searches making it easy for it to understand and make predictions from them. All of these predictions get a trial and once proven to be right, a new version of RankBrain will be released to the users and the process will be repeated.
Is RankBrain doing more than query refinement?
Signals are factors which are tied to the content, like words that are on the page, links pointing at the page, if a certain page is on the secure server or not and so on. Also, they can be linked to a user, just like searcher location or browser history.
When Google talks of RankBrain as being an important signal, does it imply ranking as being a signal?
Yes. Google has authenticated that indeed RankinBrain is directly contributing to the ranking of pages.
RankBrain helps Google to classify all pages on basis of the content they have. RankBrain will be able to compile exactly what a page is about when compared to Google's existing systems.
How and where do I get to learn more about RankBrain?
According to Google, people want to learn the word "vectors"- a way in which words and some phrases can be connected mathematically. There are longer research papers based on RankBrain or you can decide to make use of your own computer learning project using Google's word@vec too. In short, Google covers the all the areas of artificial intelligence machine learning articles, like Microsoft.

The coolest new parks coming to DFW
by Alexandra Cronin and Alex Gonzalez July 10, 2019 May 13, 2020
Featuring the most exciting parks being planned and developed in the midst of the DFW metroplex!
Trinity River Floodplain
The Trinity River Project is intended to turn 10,000 acres of the Trinity River Floodplain and Great Trinity Forest into a vast conservancy, with public parks and designated green space. That's the dream, at least. The reality is much harder and much more expensive to achieve. In fact, the project will take $150 million, and the planning stages have been littered with obstacles and roadblocks that have caused some concern over the project's fate. In August, The Trinity Park Conservancy will present fresh design plans that should shed more light on this project's future.
Envision Oak Point
While the Envision Oak Point project has been the subject of controversy because of the inclusion of apartments, the plan also means big changes for a 720-acre section of northeast Plano. The plan intends to allow for urban growth, and also includes plans for parks and green space with biking and hiking trails. One aspect intends to preserve Lavon Farms as a working dairy farm on a rural preserve, and others are in place to improve pedestrian access into Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve.
Legacy Deck Park
In October 2018, the City of Plano's Parks and Recreation Master Plan got notice for its proposed vision of a deck park arching over Dallas North Tollway, serving as a link between Legacy Town Center and Legacy West, similar to Dallas' much-loved Klyde Warren Park. A pedestrian bridge is already under construction. The idea sounds appealing to many Planoites, and expensive as well. The Parks and Recreation department has discussed a similar bridge over U.S. 75 to connect downtown Plano with the soon-to-be-redeveloped Collin Creek Mall.
Grand Park
Construction on a 350-acre park in Frisco is slated to begin as early as 2020. Plans for Grand Park include a 50-acre lake feature, as well as walking and biking trails. There are also plans to add land from around the former Exide Technologies Plant, which would increase the span to up to 600 acres. It could be a wonderful opportunity to create much-needed green space in one of the fastest growing cities in Texas.

Legacy Drive Park
Plano Parks and Recreation first purchased 7.11 acres of land for a park in 2017, amid rezoning for Legacy West and other mixed-use projects. Legacy Drive Park will be located on Communications Parkway, adjacent to the JC Penney Headquarters, the Legacy West townhouses and the south-west end of Legacy West. The park area will fall within the proposed boundaries of the Legacy West Villas.
Frisco Station
While a few hotels and corporate offices have already been announced for Frisco Station, the new mixed-use development will also contain over 32 acres of programmed trails and open trail space. Throughout the natural area, public art installations will be available for viewing throughout the green areas, making it a future cultural destination as well as an important green space.

The Mothman Legacy (2020) Review
October 30, 2020 October 30, 2020 Jim Morazzini 1091 Media, Documentary, Jeff Wamsley, Mothman, Seth Breedlove, Small Town Monsters
The Mothman Legacy is Seth Breedlove's follow-up to 2017's The Mothman of Point Pleasant. It's a subject he also touched on in last year's Terror in the Skies and one he obviously has a lot of interest in. Here he updates the story past the original wave of sightings and the collapse of Silver Bridge in 1967. A tragedy which the creature has been said, much like a Banshee, to have been a harbinger of. While The Mothman Legacy doesn't entirely ignore the original sightings it doesn't spend much time on them and assumes the viewer is familiar with the events of 1966-67. Those who aren't may want to familiarize themselves before watching. It will make much of the film easier to understand.
He also takes a look at a different aspect of the Mothman sightings. Breedlove goes back and looks at the various groups that settled the area around Point Pleasant and how their folklore may have played into the perception of what was seen. This includes the Scots and Irish with their tales of banshees as well as the native traditions concerning the Thunderbird.
Of course, there are the expected interviews with witnesses and recreations of sightings. The CGI used for the recreations is a bit of a mixed bag and some of the animations work better. There is also some actual footage of what is alleged to be a strange winged creature flying over a river.
We also get a look at how the sightings and accounts of them, such as John Keel's book The Mothman Prophesies and the movie that shares its name but not much else, affected the town and its inhabitants. Jeff Wamsley who runs the Mothman Museum and organizes the extremely popular Mothman Festival provides a lot of information on that topic.
Another influence of Keel's book that gets covered is his theories on Mothman's origins and nature. Prior to The Mothman Prophecies, the explanations for the creature revolved around physical creatures. A giant owl, a sandhill crane or a new species of bird. Keel introduced the idea that it could be something from an entirely different dimension. That concept has gained a lot of traction over the years, not just regarding Mothman but with other strange phenomena as well.
Breedlove also covered the interdimensional theory in regard to another aerial phenomenon in On the Trail of UFOs. His next film The Mark of the Bell Witch takes Small Town Monsters fully into paranormal territory. I wonder if this is the start of a new direction in his thinking and his films?
The Mothman Legacy is available to stream via 1091 Media. You can check the Small Town Monsters website and Facebook page for more information.

Barely a year after a rocky initial public offering, Roots Corp. (ROOT.TO) is slamming the brakes on its expansion, sending shares of the purveyor of quintessential Canadiana tumbling.
The company, known for its leather goods and casual wear imprinted with beavers and maple leafs, cut sales forecasts after reporting third-quarter financial results that fell "well-below" its own expectations. It also vowed to pare store openings in the U.S. next year and slow down its entry in new markets.
"We are planning to take a more conservative approach to our expansion plans until we see meaningful consumer response to, and sustainable momentum around, both our new marketing initiatives and the products that we tested in fiscal 2018 for larger scale rollout in fiscal 2019," Chief Executive Officer Jim Gabel told analysts on a conference call.
While Gabel said he's confident of the company's long-term prospects, the contrast couldn't be starker with Canada Goose Holdings Inc., another company evoking the Great White North that went public last year. Roots shares have dropped 69 per cent since its IPO, while Canada Goose grew about five-fold and recently raised its earnings estimates.
Roots blamed the absence of a large marketing campaign, unseasonably warm weather and a stronger quarter a year earlier for the decline. Comparable-store sales dropped 13 per cent, the most since data became available. They've been strengthening since, including with "encouraging" Black Friday and Cyber Monday results, Gabel said.
The shares dropped 20 per cent to $3.63 at 11:48 a.m. in Toronto, the most since the October 2017 IPO. They are worth less than a third of their offer price of $12.

Cult films and the people who make them
MJ Simpson presents: the longest-running single-author film site on the web, est.2002.
Urban Terrors
interview: MJ Dixon
My namesake MJ Dixon kindly answered some questions about his film Slasher House in March 2013.
What was the inspiration/idea behind Slasher House?
"Slasher House was an almost direct reaction to Freddy vs Jason, I loved the idea of those kind of iconic, over the top serial killers clashing, but ultimately I was disappointed in the film. I started just thinking about what I would have done differently, but it wasn't till I watched Saw 2 a few years later that the whole thing really came together and from there the whole thing really wrote itself. It was the easiest script I've ever written.
"I just loved the idea of a house full of serial killers and one victim and that was kind of the crux of the whole thing. It left me with some difficult problems to overcome in terms of body count etc., but eventually I found a way to try and get around that for the most part via flashbacks etc., which came in much later in the production."
Why did you choose the red/green aesthetic and how did you achieve it?
"The look of the film really comes from my love of Dario Argento movies as a teenager. I always loved his colours, they always gave his films an almost comic book quality. If you're ever unlucky enough to see my first short film Destination you can see that creeping in there.
"But the main reason is that I have always been conscious of colour in everything I do. I started out as an artist with a love of comic books, so with everything I work on I have always limited my colour palette to give it its own unique place in my work. It was a gamble to go with something so over the top, but it seems to have paid off in many ways as it's the first thing most people point out that they like about the film.
"It wasn't anything fancy to achieve it. I just applied a graphic design approach to some basic grading and I got the look that I first conceived in storyboarding. I wanted the film to look like the storyboards and eventually with a bit of experimenting was able to achieve that."
How did you select your cast and crew?
"Most people I had worked with before on various other projects. Our lead, Eleanor James, heard about it and asked if she could read the script. I'd been a fan of her for some time and got really excited about working with her. But we still auditioned a dozen girls; it was after that I realised it was still Eleanor that I wanted for the role. But for the most part, I already had people in mind when I was redrafting it."
Why do you think Slasher House has been picked up for distribution but your first feature Creepsville hasn't?
"I guess that would be because Creepsville still isn't complete. Creepsville was definitely an exercise in how to take the scenic route when making a movie. It happened before the SLR revolution so we had to take long, time-consuming approaches to lighting and shooting - along with cast dropping out last minute, recasting, reshooting, lost tapes and then losing core members of the post-production team half way through the edit, twice. It has been an uphill struggle from beginning to end. It's a couple of months away from being locked off and done. Mostly because I did a lot of the post work, such as grading and stuff, myself between jobs.
"In some ways it's maybe a stronger film than Slasher House, but it's hard to really say at this point as I'm so close to both of them. It's definitely more subtle, which I like about it. I'm not sure what we'll do with it once it's done, but as this point maybe remake it a la Evil Dead 2."
What was the hardest part of making this film, and what was the most satisfying/enjoyable?
"The hardest part for me is always the writing, trying to get it right. Slasher House is tough in that respect because it is the centre point for a much bigger story. So I went in knowing that it was going to come across ambiguous and all the way through was just hoping I could make a movie that would be entertaining enough to make people wonder about what comes next. That kind of pressure to put on yourself is the worst part. That and the horrendous muscle pain from editing 20 hours a day.
"The most satisfying moment, is knowing that out there somewhere you have inspired someone to go out and do what you did, which is just going out and making a movie, without any comprehension that you can't do it. People get bogged down with the way things are supposed to be done, I'm more of a firm believer in just getting them done however I can. It's nice to know that I've passed that message on to several people already without the film even being released yet."
What is the latest news on Blaze of Gory and Thorn?
"Blaze is gearing up for shooting end of March/early April. It's a tough one as it's quite a graphic piece and if it's not handled right it could mean a whole lot of shit for all of us. But it's a challenge and anyone who knows me knows I like to push myself.
"Thorn is in pre-production at this very moment, we're launching a crowd-funding campaign next week and shooting come June/July. The film ties directly into Slasher House (along with another movie we have in pre-production currently), but is also very much a stand-alone story about the character. It's one huge love letter to Halloween that winks and nods at John Carpenter's classic and its imitators at every turn."

Get excited: a follow-up to Bridesmaids is on its way
Exciting news for fans of Bridesmaids this morning, as it has been announced that Kristen Wiig is teaming up with her co-writer from the 2011 hit, Annie Mumolo, for a new film.
The new project could see Wiig step into the director's chair for the first time, having already produced several of her hit films including Bridesmaids and Girl Most Likely.
There are few details available right now but we know that Wiig and Mumolo will play best friends who "find themselves in over their heads and out of their depth", according to the Hollywood Reporter.
But the film will not be a sequel to Bridesmaids, despite the film taking around £172million at the box office worldwide.
Wiig told Harper's Bazaar last year that "We would have made a lot of money if there was a second one, but that's not my goal in my creative life."
Instead, the new film will introduce us to a whole new group of characters. Bridesmaids was hailed as a new direction for female comedy, and there will be high expectations for its writing team's next output.
In a statement, the pair said "We're very excited to be writing. We will be going into a cave for months to finish. An actual cave. We found one that's nice and big. We're putting a couch in there."
Bridesmaids was their first collaboration, and both Mumolo and Wiig's first outing as film writers. It earned them BAFTA and Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay. We can't wait to see where their next project will take them.

Surplus wind power could cost Ontario ratepayers up to $200 million: IESO
Credit: By: John Spears Business reporter, Published on Tue Feb 26 2013 | Toronto Star | www.thestar.com ~~
Coping with surplus wind power will cost Ontario electricity ratepayers up to $200 million a year if market rules don't change, says the power system operator.
Moreover, it says, if it can't control the flow of wind and solar power onto the Ontario grid, then "reliable and economic operation of the power system is, at best, highly compromised and likely not feasible."
The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) makes the statements in a filing with the Ontario Energy Board.
It is responding to complaints from big wind power companies that the IESO's proposals to impose new market rules on wind and solar power will cost them millions in lost revenue.
The dispute comes as more and more renewable power is about to flow onto the province's power grid.
About 2,700 megawatts of wind and solar power are currently feeding electricity into Ontario's system, three-quarters of it wind. That amount is set to more than triple by January, 2016.
Solar power generally flows into the system when it's most needed, when demand for power is high.
But wind often blows at the wrong time – overnight when demand, or "load" on the system is low – and dies when demand is high.
"It is not unusual for the wind to fall off in the morning at the same time as the morning load picks up," says the IESO.
At present, the IESO can't control the flow of wind and solar onto the system in the same way it can control the output of other generators. It all flows onto the grid, and is paid a fixed price.
When there's more power than the system can handle, the IESO sells it to neighbouring provinces and states – sometimes at a loss, and sometimes actually paying them to take it.
Those losses are absorbed by ratepayers, and added to the electricity bill as the "global adjustment," which now often exceeds the price of energy by a wide margin.
So far this month, for example, the market price for power has averaged 2.96 cents a kilowatt hour. The global adjustment has been 5.73 cents a kwh. Consumers pay delivery and debt.
Another strategy is to close down a nuclear unit. But nuclear units can't be re-started in a hurry; it takes a couple of days. During that time, demand can rebound, forcing the IESO to buy more power from gas-fired plants.
Bruce Power has developed techniques for reducing the output from some of its units without closing them outright. But there's a cost to that as well: Bruce Power still gets paid for its lost output. And the reduced output doesn't always soak up the entire surplus.
Without being able to control the renewable output, the IESO says, "by 2018, reliable and economic operation of the power system is, at best, highly compromised and likely not feasible."
Terry Young, vice president of the IESO, says that doesn't mean the power system will become physically unreliable if the rules don't change:
"We wouldn't put ourselves in a position where reliability is compromised, but in order to do that it's going to become more expensive to maintain it," he said.
The IESO has drawn up new rules that will allow it to shut output from wind and solar operators off the system when there's surplus power.
The renewable power generators are fighting the new rules vigorously.
Most have 20-year contracts with the Ontario Power Authority giving them unrestricted access to the power grid.
That, they say, was part of the deal when the Ontario government launched its campaign to encourage renewable energy in 2009.
"It is nothing less than a reversal of government policy with respect to encouraging the use of renewable power," the power companies have told the energy board.
They have asked the board to force the IESO to review its new rules.

An Oscars like no other: How this year's show will be different
OTRC
By Sandy Kenyon
Producing the Oscars has been called a "thankless" job because so many people are watching, and you simply can't please everyone -- and that was before a global pandemic disrupted this year's show.
Producer Jesse Collins promises to use "science and common sense" in taking "a giant step forward."
Producer Stacy Sher said, "that's possible," due to all the efforts made by the Academy to keep folks safe.
Their colleague, Steven Soderbergh, compared their work to, "trying to build an airplane while it's in the air."
The Academy Awards ceremony has been more of the same for half a century now: the faces and their films may change, but not the format, at a show that grew ever bigger in scope with each passing year, until now.
"It is unprecedented," agreed Oscar nominee Amanda Seyfried, "because we are nearing, knock on wood, the end of this pandemic."
The pandemic forced the 93rd Oscars to be postponed two months and forced a change of venue to LA's Union Station, although the Dolby Theater in Hollywood will appear on the broadcast. Union Station is a historic, iconic, Art Deco masterpiece.
"Aesthetically, I think it'll be amazing," Oscar nominee Andra Day said. "Because I've shot at Union Station before, and it's just really cool. It's an amazing, very interesting venue."
Day is one of a record nine performers of color recognized with Oscar nominations in the acting categories.
Thanks to her lead role in "The United States vs. Billie Holiday," she will be part of history at an Oscars ceremony unlike any other.

"And I also feel like the energy's gonna be amazing, like it's gonna be a precursor to what summer is gonna look like, like when everyone loses their minds because they're like 'yes, finally,'" Day said.
The Oscars producers have stressed the safety of the event, but they want to avoid the glitches at previous awards shows caused by the use of Zoom to accept trophies. So, at the Oscars, winners must accept in person or via satellite.
Each nominee is allowed to bring just one guest.
"This is the first awards show that's going to be really and truly in-person," Seyfried said.
There will still be couture, but less of it.
"Less people, less dresses," says WWD Style Director Alex Badia, and that means "more attention to the few dresses."
And, more pressure on designers who hope to dress one of the lucky few stars able to attend.
Those in charge of the show this year are reaching back into the past, to take a step forward.
"It's going to be a bigger deal," predicts Seyfried. "It's going to mean so much more this year than it ever has."

20 - Risk factors for first-trimester miscarriage: summary of results from the National Women's Health Study
from SECTION 4 - CLINICAL SEQUELAE

Book: Implantation and Early Development
Print publication: 01 June 2005, pp 253-255
Among all women who had ever been pregnant, 21% reported ever having had a miscarriage. The results of the National Women's Health Study confirmed some well-established risk factors, including increased maternal age and previous history of miscarriage and infertility, and also the protective effect of nausea. The response rate for the study was 73% for the more targeted Stage 2 questionnaire. Six hundred and three cases and 6116 controls were included in the case-control analysis of risk factors for first-trimester miscarriage. The results obtained from this study, after adjusting for year of conception, maternal age, previous miscarriage and previous livebirth, are listed in this chapter. The reduced risks associated with taking vitamins, consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables and feeling happy and relaxed during pregnancy are perhaps not surprising, but further work is needed to establish causal pathways and whether these results can be explained by selection or reporting biases.

Radio station dedicated to job vacancies
In Economy, News, Tech on April 5, 2012 at 14:22
Ireland's first radio channel targeting job seekers on the move and the Irish diaspora via weekly shows has launched today. NewJobRadio.com is also Ireland's first radio channel to be listed on iTunes.
NewJobRadio.com focuses on job vacancies and each show will aim to feature employers discussing the roles they have available and to provide a detailed insight on the types of candidates they are looking for.
Verify Recruitment is the brain behind NewJobRadio.com. Listeners can hear the shows online or download them via iTunes to their MP3 players. The first show is live now on iTunes and on NewJobRadio.com. A new show goes live weekly.
Paddy Power is the latest featured employer, discussing some of the current technology jobs available at its new Dublin campus in Clonskeagh.
Also available now is a preview show, in which Verify Recruitment managing director Cathal Grogan outlines his reason for setting up New Job Radio.
"New Job Radio is all about capturing those conversations that take place between our industry experts and companies that are hiring, in order to give a much fuller understanding of the role to job seekers, rather than just what is outlined in the job specifications," said Grogan.
"We will notify candidates of job specifications before each show and ask them to post their questions for employers on Facebook and Twitter."

Statistical conclusions
In Betting preview, Soccerball, Top Tips on February 24, 2012 at 21:07
Exciting title, or wha?
Chelsea v Bolton (Saturday 3pm)
Out of 18 home games in all comps this season, Chelsea have won with a clean sheet in six of them – that's a strike rate of 66%. In their last three meetings with Bolton at Stamford Bridge, Bolton have failed to score. Chelsea will not have a better chance of getting back to winning ways than this Saturday.
Chelsea to win with a clean sheet YES EVS.
Newcastle v Wolves (Saturday 3pm)
Wolves have gone 22 league games since their last clean sheet. Newcastle havent exactly been fluid in scoring in their home games, averaging about 1.5 goals per home game with Demba Ba scoring around 44% of their goals. Looks like a low-scoring game but if the Magpies were to score, Demba Ba would be the man to score it.
SCORECAST Newcatle to win 1-0 and Demba Ba to score 18/1.
QPR v Fulham
QPR's home record is fairly dreadful – just two wins in 12.
Couple that with Fulham's apparent travel sickness – one win in 12 – and you have a London derby for the purists.
Mark Hughes hasn't quite got his new squad firing on all cylinders yet but they do have a decent strike force available with the likes of Djibril Cisse, Federico Macheda and Bobby Zamora in their ranks.
There has been an average of three goals scored in total in QPR's last three home games and Fulham's last three away goals.
TOTAL GOALS U/O 2.5 Over EVS.
West Brom v Sunderland
West Brom are on a cold run of form, having lost six of their last eight home league games, while Sunderland are on a roll under the guidance of Martin O'Neill, winning four of their last six games on the road.
In those six games, the Black Cats have averaged two goals per game, while WBA's last three home games have all finished 2-1 to the away side.
CORRECT SCORE Sunderland to win 2-1 9/1.
Wigan v Aston Villa
Gabriel Agbonlahor likes the JJB – the striker has scored on three of his last four visits to the ground. The 25-year-old has netted in 25% of his appearances for Villa this season – he's due a goal because he hasn't scored on his last three outings.
FIRST GOALSCORER Gabriel Agbonlahor 15/2.
Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur
10 out of 21 arsenal home games have seen Gunners score mor than one goal, so more than half the time, Arsenal score one or less goals, while almost half of Spurs away games have seen the London side score one or less goals. The historical data indicates that there have been three goals or more in 14 of the last 16 North London derbies. Buck the trend and respect current form.
TOAL GOALS U/O 2.5 Under EVS.
CARLING CUP FINAL
Liverpool v Cardiff (Sunday 4pm)
Liverpool have scored 25 goals in their nine cup games this season, but surprisingly have only kept clean sheets against Chelsea and Manchester City in those nine cup ties. That means Liverpool have leaked goals against lower league opposition like Brighton (twice), Oldham and Exeter. Expect Cardiff to have their moment in the sun on Sunday afternoon.
BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE Yes 11/10.

Ireland to be hit with an entertainment tax
In Economy, News, Tech on January 22, 2012 at 12:22
After introducing a charge to have water, a charge to live in your house on top of the stamp duty you already paid to buy your house, bin charges, and every other unfair tax that's been drafted in recent years when people have less money than ever before, there's a new one.
It's been dubbed an entertainment tax. Basically, even if you don't have a television, you'll have to cough up a fee to RTE. They're targeting people who watch television programmes and movies online.
My view is this: people are trying to save money by not having a television and getting by utilising modern technology. It's a rubbish tax/fee, whatever they want to call it. People are already paying VAT on their line rental and broadband line, and are maximising this to watch videos. Wrong…according to the Government. If you do this, RTE are entitled to a slice, even though the RTE Player must be attracting a very generous proportion of people using this system.
Responding to the intention of the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources Pat Rabbitte TD to replace the TV licence with a household broadcasting charge, the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland has said:
"We welcome the introduction of a new broadcasting charge to replace the current TV licence and we urge the Minister to take advantage of the opportunity this change presents to review how the revenue collected is used. The new Household Broadcasting Charge was committed to in the Programme for Government. The Programme for Government also contains a commitment to "review the funding of public and independent broadcasters to ensure a healthy broadcasting environment".
If the Minister is bound to examine the television licence fee then he should also be bound to the Programme's commitment to undertake a full review of the funding of broadcasting in Ireland. Indeed the two are inextricably linked and it is it is inconceivable that any change to the current TV licence system would not involve a review of how the funding is used.
In various media interviews Minister Rabbitte has referred to RTE as the state's "public service" broadcaster. We would like to remind Minister Rabbitte that with over 2.4 million listeners each week day, all independent radio stations provide a high level of public service and that this is a condition of their licence.
We also note with great interest that €25 million of the television licence fee is lost each year through evasion and the Minister's contention that the new licence fee arrangement would greatly reduce this amount. It is conceivable that the revenue to be collected from the new broadcasting charge be apportioned to fund the operations of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, a move that would benefit every broadcaster in the country regardless of whether they are community, commercial or state-funded. It is vital that the Minister reflects on how the changes he makes now will impact on the Irish broadcasting landscape over the coming years".

Support for fossil fuels almost doubled in 2021, slowing progress toward international climate goals, according to new analysis from OECD and IEA
Full Text Sharing
Submitted by Simone Galimberti 30Aug
Committee on Information and Communications Technology, Science, Technology and Innovation, Fourth Session | ESCAP (unescap.org)
New OECD and IEA data show that overall government support for fossil fuels in 51 countries worldwide almost doubled to 697.2 USD billion in 2021, from 362.4 USD billion in 2020, as energy prices rose with the rebound of the global economy. In addition, consumption subsidies are anticipated to rise even further in 2022 due to higher fuel prices and energy use.
"Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine has caused sharp increases in energy prices and undermined energy security. Significant increases in fossil fuel subsidies encourage wasteful consumption though, while not necessarily reaching low-income households," OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann said. "We need to adopt measures which protect consumers from the extreme impacts of shifting market and geopolitical forces in a way that helps keep us on track to carbon neutrality as well as energy security and affordability."
"Fossil fuel subsidies are a roadblock to a more sustainable future, but the difficulty that governments face in removing them is underscored at times of high and volatile fuel prices. A surge in investment in clean energy technologies and infrastructure is the only lasting solution to today's global energy crisis and the best way to reduce the exposure of consumers to high fuel costs." IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said.
The OECD and IEA produce complementary databases that provide estimates of different forms of government support for fossil fuels. The current OECD-IEA combined estimates cover 51 major economies, spanning the OECD, G20 and 33 other major energy producing and consuming economies representing around 85% of the world's total energy supply.
OECD analysis of budgetary transfers and tax breaks linked to the production and use of coal, oil, gas and other petroleum products in G20 economies showed total fossil fuel support rose to USD 190 billion in 2021 from USD 147 billion in 2020. Support for producers reached levels not previously seen in OECD tracking efforts, at USD 64 billion in 2021 – up by almost 50% year-on-year, and 17% above 2019 levels. Those subsidies have partly offset producer losses from domestic price controls as global energy prices surged in late 2021. The estimate of consumer support reached USD 115 billion, up from USD 93 billion in 2020.
The IEA produces estimates of fossil fuel subsidies by comparing prices on international markets and prices paid by domestic consumers that are kept artificially low using measures like direct price regulation, pricing formulas, border controls or taxes, and domestic purchase or supply mandates. Covering 42 economies, the IEA finds that consumer support increased to USD 531 billion in 2021, more than triple their 2020 level, driven by the surge in energy prices.
The OECD and IEA have consistently called for the phasing out of inefficient fossil fuel support and re-direction of public funding toward the development of low-carbon alternatives alongside improvements in energy security and energy efficiency. Subsidies intended to support low-income households often tend to favour wealthier households that use more fuel and energy and should therefore be replaced with more targeted forms of support.

There is "masses" of unpublished Douglas Adams writing, says brother
But it doesn't look like we'll be seeing it anytime soon...
By Huw Fullerton
Saturday, 4th October 2014 at 7:39 pm
Don't Panic, Douglas Adams fans – but apparently there's an undiscovered hoard of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy author's writing that has never seen the light of day.
"You don't want to titillate people, but there is masses of material," Adams's half-brother James Thrift said at the Cheltenham Literature Festival today.
"Some of [the material] is Dirk Gently, some of it is Hitchhiker's. My view personally is that there's an awful lot of it that led up to what became Hitchhiker's."
Unfinished writing drafts wouldn't normally attract such attention, but Douglas Adams was no ordinary writer. He became an almost overnight sensation in the late 70s with his revolutionary radio comedy (and later five-book 'trilogy', TV series and posthumous 2005 film) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which concerned the outer space adventures of quintessential Englishman Arthur Dent after the destruction of Earth.
Making millions from the Hitchhiker's novels, the author later also became known for a series of books based around a holistic detective named Dirk Gently (later turned into a BBC series starring Stephen Mangan), though he only completed two such books before his sudden death in 2001.
Adams's books have sold over 15 million copies, and have legions of passionate fans worldwide, so the idea of unseen material is bound to excite many. Indeed, as a previous anthology of unpublished work by Adams (called the Salmon of Doubt) was released in 2002, fans might expect that this other material might one day be available as well.
However, Thrift, who was speaking at a commemoration of his half brother alongside a panel including Terry Jones and Clive Anderson, was firm that this collection of unreleased writing would stay that way.
"The way Douglas wrote was that he started with ten pages and then worked his way down to one, and that was the one page that he was happy to go out there," he explained.
"All right, there's all this material there, but it's not material that he ever really wanted to see the light of day… Always in the back of your mind would be, Douglas is going to be kicking us."
"But there is an awful lot of stuff there," he added – clearly forgetting his earlier pledge not to titillate.
For now at least, it looks like the fans will have to stick with what they've got. What a load of Belgium.
