Jujutsu in itself is an umbrella term used to describe a number of different fighting styles originating from Japan. It is not correct therefore to say Jujutsu is this, or Jujutsu is that, as different schools of Jujutsu will differ greatly in their approach to fighting.
There are nowadays many schools of fighting who use the term Jujutsu, or often Jiu Jitsu or Ju Jitsu, however beyond an initial look, these schools are very different in nature.
We now also have Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which is very popular, but also very different to the martial art we study in our Dojo.
Jujutsu therefore is a term used to describe schools of Japanese Martial Arts that have a common theme of not opposing force but finding a way to go with it and take control.
These schools however are separated with their own unique history, customs, techniques, principles and strategies, and are referred to as Ryu. Those originating in the Samurai era of Japan's history are called Koryu.
This is done using natural body mechanics and principles of movement, which when manipulated correctly can render an attack useless and allow the practitioner to overcome and unbalanced opponent.
Mindset is also of equal, if not more importance, as it is this that will often dictate success or failure, regardless of physical prowess or technical ability.
Jujutsu is often referred to as 'Unarmed Fighting of the Samurai' however we do not use this description. Samurai were virtually always armed, therefore Jujutsu has to be able to deal with the threats associated with this, while also allowing the practitioner to execute techniques while wearing weapons themselves, or even enable them to use their own weapons.
This may seem a trivial point, but it is of great importance when you consider the mindset mentioned above, rather than just thinking of a modern brawl or a boxing match, as most do when they think of fighting, when weapons are involved everything becomes a life or death situation.
Jujutsu is generally taught and learned through the practice of Kata, which are formalised fight sequences designed to transmit the system, but unlike the solo Kata often seen in Okinawan Karate, Chinese Kung Fu, or similar martial arts, Jujutsu Kata are paired, with both parties having clearly defined roles and points of focus.
The purpose of these Kata is to transmit the key principles, mindset and techniques of the school to students in a safe manner. This is very important as many of the techniques practiced are designed to seriously injure or even kill your opponent, Kata should include correct focus on how to safely receive these techniques, and even counter them.
Once the core principles have been transmitted, they can be applied to real fighting application with countless variations to prepare for any situation.
It can be quite difficult to find authentic Japanese Jujutsu in the UK. Much harder than an initial internet search would have you believe.
Many of the Jujutsu schools here in the UK have actually been created here, and bear little to no resemblance to Nihon Jujutsu beyond superficial elements, and no valid connections to Japan.
Most schools using the term Jujutsu or one of the above variants, even of Western origin, use Japanese names for their systems, Japanese words to describe techniques, Japanese titles for their instructors, and also apply a degree of Japanese style etiquette.
Often this comes from the strong influence of Judo, Aikido and Karate on Western Jujutsu mentioned above, so is by no means an indication of the school's heritage or confirmation of any Japanese link.
For anyone looking specifically for authentic Japanese Jujutsu (especially the traditional schools) you should always check the lineage of the school, and the credentials of the Instructor. Where Japanese links are claimed, can they be verified? Internet searches will not always give you the answers, but may be a good place to start, Instructors will usually be happy to discuss this with you, and should be able to show you documentation highlighting rank and/or giving them authorisation to teach the claimed school.
Iaijutsu is a Japanese sword art based on the idea of being present in the moment, able to recognise a threat, draw and attack in an instant.
A key component of the system is that it deals with situations where the sword is sheathed, and has to be drawn to defend or attack. Rather than other systems of Kenjutsu, where the sword is already drawn and ready. This is a product of the environment and changing times within Japan's rich history.
Also referred to as Iaido, Batto-do or simply Iai. There are slight variances in the meanings of these names but the general idea remains the same.
We believe that weapons training is essential to the development of Jujutsu skill and understanding as well as the correct mindset needed to be effective in violent situations.
Working with the sword takes us back in essence to where Jujutsu originated and the dangers it was designed to tackle.
Giving the idea of existing in contact with the world, in harmony with surroundings - a state of mental presence.
The majority of training in Iaido is performed through short solo Kata. With practitioners visualising an opponent, and performing the Kata with a strong mindset in order to overcome them.
There is also a Kumitachi, or Kenjutsu element to training, which involves paired practiced and strategy of battle.
Muso Shinden Ryu, originated from an earlier school of Iaijutsu/Kenjutsu. Shinmei Muso Ryu founded by Hayashizaki Jinsuke Minamoto no Shigenobu who lived from 1546 to 1621.
This school was known by a number of names following it's creation and received a number of adaptations over time, but perhaps the most notable was Hasegawa Eishin-ryu under the 7th Soke Hasegawa Chikaranosuke Eishin in the early 1700's.
Following the death of the 11th Soke, the school was later split into two branches; the Shimomura-ha and Tanimura-ha.
The Tanimura-ha later became Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu, while the Shimomura-ha became Muso Shinden Eishin Ryu.
Nakayama Hakudo inherited the Shimomura-ha or Muso Shinden Eishin Ryu and using his high level of skill and experience, made subtle changes to the system to produce what we now practice as Muso Shinden Ryu.

When I was first told about this track, all I was kept being told is that this is going to be huge. I hate two things in life: rumors and hype. Both let me down miserably 66% of the time every time. Although, I still gave Mod3sto the listen he deserves because I had a slight glimmer of hope that he was going to prove me wrong.
I took the listen. This is a huge track. It is a very big room house type huge track. Is it amazing? If you're expecting big room house, you're going to love it. If you're expecting a track to get everyone wild, absolutely. Mod3sto managed to be an anomaly and live up to his hype. Check it out now and download it for free!

The Olympic Games have been broadcast on television since the 1936 Summer Olympics.

1930s

1936 Summer Olympics
The 1936 games, held in Berlin, Germany, were televised by means of closed circuit television to various viewing halls. Broadcasts of the Games were made available in more than two dozen halls in Berlin, Leipzig and Potsdam and the Olympic village.

1940s

1948 Summer Olympics
The BBC provided coverage of the 1948 Summer Olympics on their television service, live from Wembley Stadium and the Empire Pool. Coverage was mainly limited to the London area, but could be picked up as far away as the Channel Islands in certain conditions.

1950s

1956 Summer Olympics

Television service was introduced to Australia in time for the 1956 Games in Melbourne. International broadcasting institutions present were BBC, CBS, NBC, Eurovision and United Press. These Games were the first time broadcasting rights were sold.

1956 Winter Games
RAI introduced the first Winter Games coverage ever, and the first Olympic one extended to an international audience. The broadcasts were relayed live via Eurovision to Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, West Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

1960s
In England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, ITV covered the Summer Olympic Games in 1968, 1972, 1976 and 1980 in addition to the BBC. An industrial dispute prevented coverage of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics but the Games returned to ITV screens in 1988, sharing the coverage with Channel 4 - Channel 4 showing the overnight and breakfast coverage with ITV covering the daytime action as well as broadcasting early evening highlights programmes. The 1988 Olympics were the last time that the Games have been shown on ITV with subsequent Olympic Games being shown only on the BBC. ITV only broadcast the Winter Olympics in 1968.

1960 Winter Games
CBS paid $50,000 for the right to broadcast the games in the United States, and this marked the first time the Olympic Games were televised there. Also, officials, unsure if a skier had missed a gate in the men's slalom, asked CBS if they could review a videotape of the race. This would be the impetus and inspiration for CBS to develop what would come to be known as "instant replay."

1960 Summer Olympics
CBS paid $394,000 ($ in ) for the exclusive right to broadcast the Games in the United States.  This was the first Summer Olympic games to be telecast in North America.  In addition to CBS in the United States, the Olympics were telecast for the first time in Canada (on CBC Television) and in Mexico (through the networks of Telesistema Mexicano). Since television broadcast satellites were still two years into the future, CBS, CBC, and Televisa shot and edited videotapes in Rome, fed the tapes to Paris where they were re-recorded onto other tapes, which were then loaded onto jet planes to North America. Planes carrying the tapes landed at Idlewild Airport in New York City, where mobile units fed the tapes to CBS, to Toronto for the CBC, and to Mexico City for Televisa. Despite this arrangement, many daytime events were broadcast in North America, especially on CBS and CBC, the same day they took place.

1964 Summer Olympics
The Tokyo 1964 games were the first to be telecast internationally. The games were telecast to the United States using Syncom 3, the first geostationary communication satellite, and from there to Europe using Relay 1, an older satellite which allowed only 15–20 minutes of broadcast during each of its orbits. Total broadcast time of programs delivered via satellite was 5 hours 41 minutes in the United States, 12 hours 27 minutes in Europe, and 14 hours 18 minutes in Canada. Pictures were received via satellite in the United States, Canada, and 21 countries in Europe. Several broadcasters recorded some sports from Japan and flown over to their countries.

TRANSPAC-1, the first trans-Pacific communications cable from Japan to Hawaii was also finished in June 1964 in time for these games. Before this, most communications from Japan to other countries were via shortwave.

1968 Winter Games
Frenchman Jean-Claude Killy won three gold medals in all the alpine skiing events. In women's figure skating, Peggy Fleming won the only United States gold medal. The games have been credited with making the Winter Olympics more popular in the United States, not least of which because of ABC's extensive coverage of Fleming and Killy, who became overnight sensations among teenage girls.

1970s

1972 Summer Olympics

Munich massacre

Initial news reports, published all over the world, indicated that all the hostages were alive, and that all the terrorists had been killed. Only later did a representative for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) suggest that "initial reports were overly optimistic." Jim McKay, who was covering the Olympics that year for ABC, had taken on the job of reporting the events as Roone Arledge fed them into his earpiece. At 3:24 A.M. (German Time), McKay received the official confirmation:

1980s

1980 Winter Games

Miracle on Ice

The rest of the United States (except those who watched the game live on Canadian television) would have to wait to see the game, as ABC decided to broadcast the late-afternoon game on tape delay in prime time.

Though the game was on live television in the Soviet Union, it was played at 1:00 AM Moscow time. This afforded CPSU officials some ability to squelch news and discussion; Pravda did not carry a game report or mention the match in its post-Olympic wrap-up, and the hockey players were quickly and quietly herded away from the arrival reception for Olympic athletes at Moscow's airport.

1980 Summer Olympics
Major broadcasters of the games were USSR State TV and Radio (1,370 accreditation cards), Eurovision (31 countries, 818 cards) and Intervision (11 countries, 342 cards). Asahi TV with 68 cards provided coverage for Japan, while OTI representing the Spanish-speaking world received 59 cards, TVNZ (New Zealand) was aired live and the Channel Seven provided coverage for Australia (48 cards). NBC, which had intended to be another major broadcaster, canceled its coverage in response to the U.S. boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics, and became a minor broadcaster with 56 accreditation cards, although the network did air highlights and recaps of the games on a regular basis. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation almost canceled their plans for coverage after Canada took part in the boycott and was represented by 9 cards.

The television centre used 20 TV channels. Montreal had used 16, Munich 12, Mexico City 7.

1984 Summer Olympics
The price for ABC's 180 hours of television was $225 million. All Los Angeles radio and television stations covered the Olympics extensively throughout the event. The Summer broadcast rights almost tripled from 1980 to 1984 ($87 million to $225 million) and both Winter and Summer rights have gone for $300 million or more since 1988.

1988 Winter Olympics

The American host network, ABC, paid a then record  million, while the main host broadcaster, the Canadian CTV television network, won the domestic rights for  million. A further $90 million was raised by sponsorships and licenses.

1988 Summer Olympics
The games were covered by the following broadcasters:

 : Argentina Televisora Color, Canal 13, Canal 11
 : Network Ten

1990s

1992 Summer Olympics

The exploding costs of the Games sent networks looking for alternative strategies to ease the financial burden. In 1992, NBC made an attempt at utilizing pay-per-view subscriptions with the "Olympic Triplecast", which was organized in conjunction with Cablevision and intended to sell packages of commercial-free, extensive programming.

NBC, which had the broadcast rights to the games, partnered with Cablevision for the experiment, believing that people would pay between $95 to $170 to see events live that would normally be shown on tape delay on the network in prime time. By the time the games began, relatively few people had ordered the package, which featured Red, White and Blue channels on a special three-button remote control offered by some cable operators for free as a lure to sign up for the service.

The plan was a failure, mainly due to viewers' reluctance to pay to see some events when network coverage of others was free of charge. NBC and Cablevision would lose millions of dollars, with one estimate putting their losses at $100 million.

1994 Winter Games

When the construction of the Lysgårdsbakkene jumping hills started in 1992, the hills had to be moved some meters north so that the American broadcaster CBS could get the best pictures available from their pre-chosen location.  CBS became the largest source of revenue for the hosts.

1996 Summer Olympics

For Atlanta 1996, NBC bought the broadcasting rights for US$456 million. Other broadcasters included:

: Rede Globo, Rede Manchete, Rede Bandeirantes, Rede Record, SBT, CNT, TVE Brasil, ESPN Brasil, PSN Brasil
: CCTV
: TF1, FTV, Eurosport
: ARD, ZDF

: NHK, NTV, TBS, Fuji TV, TV Asahi, TV Tokyo
: MBC
: CBS, TNT
: BBC
: Seven Network

: ARD and ZDF
: RAI)

2000s

2000 Summer Olympics

Most of the footage used by international broadcasters of the Opening and Closing Ceremony was directed out of SOBO (Sydney Olympic Broadcasting Organisation) by Australian director Peter Faiman.  In Sydney in 2000, there were over 16,000 broadcasters and journalists, and an estimated 3.8 billion viewers watched the games on television.

The games were covered by the following broadcasters:
: Seven Network
: RTÉ
: BBC
: NBC
: RTVE
: RTP
: SVT
: CBC and TSN
: NHK
: KBS
: ARD and ZDF
: France Télévisions (France 2 and France 3) and Canal +
: PTV
: Televisa and TV Azteca
: TVNZ
: Rede Globo, Rede Bandeirantes, ESPN Brasil and SporTV
: RAI
: NTU
: TVRI and RCTI
: VTV

Running up to the games an Australian comedy satire, The Games, was broadcast in Australia (it was also broadcast, at a later date, in New Zealand). It featured a spoof of the issues and events that the top-level organisers and bureaucrats suffered in the lead up to the games.

A poignant part of the media coverage happened in the Canadian broadcast. On 28 September, the CBC was airing the Olympics, when the network's chief correspondent, Peter Mansbridge, broke in to report the death of former prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

NBC presented over 400+ hours on their main and sister stations, CNBC and MSNBC. The downside of the American coverage was that it was presented on tape delay rather than live due to the 15-hour time difference. The lone exception was the gold medal game in Men's Basketball, which featured the U.S. defeating France 85–75. The game was televised live in primetime on Saturday, 30 September (EDT), which was the afternoon of Sunday, 1 October in Australia.

2002 Winter Games
An estimated 2.1 billion viewers from 160 countries watched over 13 billion viewing hours during the 2002 Winter Olympics. The average worldwide viewer watched 6 hr 15 min of coverage, while the viewers in the game's host county of the United States watched an average of 29 hours each. The Salt Lake Organizing Committee (SLOC) used the organization International Sports Broadcasting (ISB), who had over 400 cameras, to provide a live video feed of competitions and ceremonies. The various official broadcasting companies in the 160 different countries could then tap into the feed and air the programs live or on a taped delay in their respective markets.

2004 Summer Olympics
NBC Universal paid the IOC $793 million for U.S. broadcast rights, the most paid by any country. NBC made it possible for the network to broadcast over 1200 hours of coverage during the 2004 Summer Olympics, triple what was broadcast in the U.S. four years earlier. Between all the NBC Universal networks (NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, Bravo, USA Network and Telemundo) the games were on television 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

In their 2004 coverage, NBC and its sister networks presented live coverage throughout the morning and afternoon, while showing marquee events pre-taped in prime time.

For the first time, major broadcasters were allowed to serve video coverage of the Olympics over the Internet, provided that they restricted this service geographically, to protect broadcasting contracts in other areas. For instance, the BBC made their complete live coverage available to UK high-speed Internet customers for free.

NBC launched its own Olympic website, NBCOlympics.com. Focusing on the television coverage of the games, it did provide video clips, medal standings, live results. Its main purpose, however, was to provide a schedule of what sports were on the many stations of NBC Universal. The games were on TV 24 hours a day on one network or another.

2006 Winter Olympics
The 2006 Olympic Winter Games were broadcast worldwide by a number of television broadcasters:
An extensive list of official broadcasters is found at The Games on Television section of the Torino Games official site.
The BBC provided television and radio coverage of the winter Olympics in the UK - the TV coverage was presented mainly by Grandstand regulars such as Hazel Irvine and Clare Balding. Most of the coverage was shown on BBC Two, with some on BBC One, and there was also BBC Red Button for Freeview, Satellite and Cable (digital TV) viewers.  BBC also broadcast many events live on the webcast Freeview provides an extra two screens whereas all three interactive streams were available to UK users only on bbc.co.uk and Digital Satellite and Cable such as Sky Digital.
Eurosport also provided live coverage of events to viewers across the EU and Europe.
American Forces Network rebroadcast some of this coverage for military personnel serving outside the United States.
SportTV2 broadcast for the first time all days and all events in Brazil.
ČT4 Sport was introduced on the occasion of the Olympic Games in the Czech Republic.

About 40% of the television coverage of the 2002 Winter Olympics was in high definition.

Ratings and attendance
A number of events reported low spectator attendance despite having acceptable ticket sales. Preliminary competition and locally less popular sports failed to attract capacity crowd as expected. Organizers explained this was because blocks of seats were reserved or purchased by sponsors and partners who later did not show up at the events.

Several news organizations reported that many Americans were not interested in the Olympics as in years past. It has been suggested that reasons for this disinterest include the tape delayed coverage, which showed events in prime-time as much as 18 hours later in the West.

In Canada, CBC's coverage has also posted disappointing numbers, which were reduced as the Canadian men's hockey team was eliminated early in the competition. Primetime ratings reached only as high as #7 in the weekly ratings. However, ratings for live, afternoon coverage have attracted 300,000 more viewers than the taped, primetime coverage. Overall, only primetime coverage has suffered, dropping 45% from the 2002 Games, with the entire coverage being 52% ahead from 2002. Meanwhile, on TSN, the numbers for its live curling coverage (which aired as early as 3:00am EST) were between 300,000 and 500,000 viewers.

The Olympics' main threat in the USA was the 2006 season of American Idol. One night of interest was 23 February in which the first results show of the season went head to head with that night's coverage which included the Women's Free Skate in Figure Skating.

2008 Summer Olympics

These games were the first to be produced and broadcast entirely in high-definition television. In their bid for the Olympic games in 2001, Beijing confirmed to the Olympic evaluation commission "that there would be no restrictions on media reporting and movement of journalists up to and including the Olympic Games."

In Canada the public network CBC/Radio-Canada and cable networks TSN and RDS broadcast its final games before a private consortium involving CTV/Rogers/TQS takes over for the 2010 Winter Olympics, which will be happening within Canadian borders, in Vancouver.

In Australia the Seven Network broadcast its final games before the Nine Network and Pay-TV operator Foxtel took over from the 2010 Winter Olympics and beyond.

2010s

2010 Winter Games

Vancouver 2010 was broadcast worldwide by a number of television broadcasters. As rights for the 2010 games were packaged with those for the 2012 Summer Olympics, broadcasters were largely identical for both events. Broadcasters included:

: Nine Network and Foxtel
: Central Record de Comunicação had been awarded the broadcasting for only free to air television on Rede Record.
: Canada's Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium consists of CTV, V, TSN, RDS, RIS, Rogers Sportsnet, Omni Television, OLN, Rogers radio stations, as well as third-party broadcasters APTN and ATN, MuchMusic
: BBC
: Cable TV
: NHK
: Canal 22
: SKY TV and Prime
: Solar Sports
: SBS
: RTVE
: NBC Universal

2012 Summer Olympics

Continuing the IOC's commitment to providing over-the-air television coverage to as broad a worldwide audience as possible, 2012 Summer Olympics was scheduled to be broadcast by a number of regional broadcasters. Though reduced dramatically since 1980, the United States television rights currently owned by NBC still account for over half the rights revenue for the IOC. Many television broadcasters granted rights to the games have bureaux and studios in London, but since at least the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, rights-holder operations are hosted in the dedicated International Broadcast Centre (IBC). London's IBC was planned to be within the London Olympics Media Centre inside the security cordon of the Olympic Park.

As rights for the 2012 games were packaged with those for the 2010 Winter Olympics, broadcasts would be largely identical for both events. Confirmed broadcasters included:
In the United Kingdom the BBC will be sole broadcaster of the games.
In Europe, members of the European Broadcasting Union (excluding RAI in Italy). In Italy, SKY has achieved rights, but was forced to sell 200 hours of the event to RAI due to compulsory free broadcast of the event.
In the United States, NBC. Some online webcasts will be available.
In Canada, a consortium of Bell Media and Rogers Media properties.
In South Korea, SBS has the rights to broadcast the games.
In Brazil, Central Record de Comunicação had been awarded the broadcasting for only free to air television rights on Record and Record News.
In Mexico, the two major national networks Televisa and TV Azteca will broadcast the games.
In Australia, the Nine Network in joint partnership with subscription television partner Foxtel will broadcast the games.

2014 Winter Olympics

On August 19, 2008, it was reported that ESPN and ABC, both owned by The Walt Disney Company, were interested in airing the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. ESPN and ABC planned to carry more Olympic events live as opposed to the tape-delay format used by current rights-holder NBC.  NBC, FOX and a partnership between CBS and Turner Sports also participated in the bidding process for televising the Games in the United States. In 2011, NBC agreed to a $4.38 billion contract with the International Olympic Committee to broadcast the 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020 Olympics, the most expensive television rights deal in Olympic history.

2016 Summer Olympics

On August 19, 2008, it was reported that ESPN and ABC, both owned by The Walt Disney Company, were interested in airing the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

In Brazil, Rede Globo and Band won the rights to broadcast the games, but they allowed the IOC to negotiate with others broadcasters about the free-to-air transmission. Rede Record purchased the rights for the free-to-air broadcasts. But, they have the exclusive rights for cable TV and internet.

In Europe, for the first time, the IOC rejected the offer from EBU to broadcast the 2014 & 2016 Olympics, so individual networks in Europe must contract for television rights.

SKY Italia had reached an agreement to broadcast 2014 & 2016 Olympics, but later, it sold the second one to RAI, holding only the first one.

In Canada, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation were granted rights to the 2014 and 2016 games in July 2012 for an undisclosed sum.

In Australia, Network Ten achieved an agreement for 2014 Winter Games spending $20 million, while the 2016 Summer Olympics had been granted to Seven Network in a bundle with 2018 and 2020, for $150 million.

2018 Winter Olympics

Discovery Communications has been granted by IOC rights to 2018 in Europe, except Russia.

2020s

2020 Summer Olympics

Discovery Communications has been granted by IOC rights to 2018 and 2020 (except France and United Kingdom), 2022 and 2024 Olympics in Europe, except Russia.

2022 Winter Olympics

Future Olympics Games
On May 7, 2014, the IOC granted NBC Universal rights to all Olympic Games from the 2022 Winter Olympics to the 2032 Summer Olympics. The agreement was valued at US$7.65 billion, and will last from 2021 to 2032. NBC, which has held the broadcast rights to both editions of the Olympics since 2000, now holds the rights in the United States until 2032. This is the most expensive deal in the history of the Olympics.

In January 2023, the IOC announced that a joint bid from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and Warner Bros. Discovery had been awarded rights for all Olympic Games from the 2026 Winter Olympics to the 2032 Summer Olympics. The joint bid between European free to air broadcasters and Warner Bros Discovery follows criticism of the 2015 deal to award European television rights to Discovery. Each EBU member will broadcast at least 200 hours of coverage of the Summer Olympics and at least 100 hours of the Winter Olympics, whereas Warner Bros. Discovery will have unlimited rights.

The spot prices of electricity had been trending downwards since the beginning of May, which was also the peak summer season when one would have expected the spot rates to rule higher. From Rs15.00 per unit at the high point on 1st May,2009; by the end of May, 2009 the scenario was such that there were no buyers (implying a zero rate) for a period during the day.
However, the past three weeks since 26th July, 2009 the rates for short-term power has shot up from Rs2.68 per unit to Rs12.83 per unit on 11th August, 2009 (yesterday). More significantly in the past week alone the electricity rates have increased from Rs6.36 per unit.
Given the operating mechanism of the power exchanges in India today, all the trades are based on actual delivery and on a day-ahead basis (i.e. for power to be supplied the next day), and hence it is difficult to precisely forecast what can it expected in the next fortnight or month.
We believe that concerns stemming from lower than normal rainfall, with a possibility of drought in substantial parts of the country, is driving short-term power rates higher. We also believe that if the rainfall situation does not improve, power shortages would increase over the next two months, resulting in even higher power prices.
While utilities such as Tata Power & Torrent Power would benefit to the limited extent of merchant capacity, utilities such as GMR Infrastructure, Adani Power, etc which have larger merchant power capacities would benefit in the short term from higher merchant / spot prices. In addition, players in the metals sector with large captive power plants such as JSPL, JSW, Nava Bharat Ventures, etc would also benefit. Power trading firms such as PTC would benefit only due to increased volumes, as their margin on inter-state power trading is capped by regulation. However, it should be noted that the power is not storable & that the total volume of power traded is still very low in India.
Thus, though these rates are not a benchmark, they do offer some indication.
Note: All analysis based on data from IEX, one of the two operational power exchanges in India.

ONLINE PARENTING COACH: How to make my 13 yr old girl go to sleep?
I have purchased your e-guide online parenting techniques and I have applied some of your methods. Though it is difficult to do at first without being angry and not reacting to my 13 yr old daughter rebellious act, but I must say she has improved slowly. Thanks for the guidance!
I would never thought of talking to her in a calmer way before. I was always angry at her when she didn't want to go to school and when she stays up way late at night sometime doesn't even have a wink and she decided to sleep during the day made me even furious. Every action she made, I responded with my anger and hence she branded me as the "Lady nagger of the house". I do deserve that name-calling, now that I realized my mistakes was not able to communicate effectively with her and not being able to express and explain things when I should have.
I'm a single mom. The care & control is given to my ex husband for both of my children. My daughter had a fall out with him and they had quite a big fight and as a result of that she ran away from her dad's place and lives with me since April this year. Although he strongly disapproved of her decision at first but he consent it verbally at the end citing that he will not want to have any part of her upbringing from then on and he told that in front of my daughter. It was sick of him not being able to be diplomatic at all in his choice of words or actions and for a child to hear that I can't even imagine... That was done and I know that it was terrible for my daughter to hear that first hands but I told her that he didn't mean to say that at all and every parent do love their children unconditionally no matter how big and bad the problem is. He was angry and he didn't know any better when he said that. That was my only explanation to her and I guess it didn't sit well on her. She has a low self-esteem due to what her father had said or treated her. Like calling her a prostitute when she sneaked away from home at night to meet her boyfriend then. She was blamed by her dad as the instigator for his Girlfriend to leave for her hometown...Just too much for a 13 yr old! I know it is hard for her and to be honest it was quite hard for me as well adjusting in the beginning. I was working then and I made a decision to quit my job.
She took medications more than she was prescribed by her Child Psychiatrist as she was diagnosed having depressions and anxiety attacks. I've decided to switch the previous psychiatrist to the Hospital Child Psychiatrist specialist where she was treated for the over dose and she's no longer given any medications at all now. She still does have mood swings now and then and are unable to sleep at night. I have spoken to my daughter psychiatrist about this and he suggested to change her sleeping pattern by trying to go to bed earlier than her usual bed time. My daughter bedtime is actually at 10.30pm and he suggested that she should make an effort to be in bed by 10pm instead. I've tried making her to go to bed by 10 and even lie down with her to make her sleep and read books with her and she still can't sleep. I'm just wondering if you have any advice on how to make my 13 yr old girl to sleep? Anything would help!
Anxiety (which is often brought on by a stressful event) is probably the most common cause of difficulty falling asleep. This is called "stress-related insomnia." It is a self-limited problem that usually resolves over several weeks (sometimes several months). It does not tend to turn into chronic insomnia. It might be helpful to reassure your daughter that it is normal to have difficulty falling asleep after a stressful life event, and that she can expect her situation to improve over the next several weeks.
Times like this are trying for parents. We don't want our children to experience pain, much less to help them embrace pain. But what an honor it is to be able to help our children face the truly difficult issues of life, and grow into mature, well-adjusted adults.


Native to Australia, eucalyptus trees are known for their round, silver leaves that form on stiff branches. These branches are often used in fresh and dried floral arrangements. The leaves of the eucalyptus tree have a strong, aromatic scent and are sometimes used in cleaning supplies and oils.
Eucalyptus trees are only hardy in USDA plant hardiness zones 8 through 11. Elsewhere, though, they can be grown as annuals planted from seed each year. Some species can reach 60 feet tall or more, while shrub varieties remain under 3 feet tall. Choose a variety suited to your yard and your needs.
To plant eucalyptus from seed, store the seed in the refrigerator for up to two months to soften the seed coat. Plant the seed in coarse potting soil several weeks before the last expected frost. Eucalyptus plants don't respond well to transplanting, so use peat pots that can be planted with the seedling. Store the peat pots or seed trays on top of the refrigerator or use a heating pad to keep them warm. Mist the potting medium frequently to keep it evenly moist.
Plant seedlings outdoors after the last expected frost. Plant them in full sun, in well-drained soil. A protected location is preferable since the trees have shallow roots and can be toppled by heavy winds. Although eucalyptus can tolerate drought, it will grow better with regular moisture. Water at least weekly during dry conditions.
Eucalyptus responds well to container culture. Plant a small variety in a container that holds at least 5 gallons of potting soil. Water frequently and fertilize the container every two months with a diluted, balanced fertilizer. If you live north of zone 8, you can bring potted eucalyptus indoors to overwinter. There are two ways to overwinter eucalyptus. You can bring the plant indoors and place it in a sunny window. Be careful though if you bring indoors, eucalyptus is considered a poisonous plant.
Reduce fertilizer and water during the winter. Another method is known as shelving. To shelve an eucalyptus plant, cut it back to ground level and bring it indoors before the first frost. Store it in a cool, dry, dark basement or garage. Place it in a sunny window in spring and begin watering it again to promote new growth.
Eucalyptus trees don't need much pruning, although you can prune them back to control their growth. Prune them back to an outward facing bud or leaf.
Eucalyptus gunnii has interesting cream and brown bark and can grow to 80 feet tall. Young trees produce bluish-gray leaves, while older trees produce silverfish-green leaves.
Eucalyptus cinerea grows 25 to 60 feet tall in warm climates, but it is often grown as an annual shrub in colder climates, where it reaches 6 to 8 feet tall in one season. This specimen has peeling red or cinnamon-colored bark.
Eucalyptus dalrympleana grows 50 to 70 feet tall and has striking cream-colored bark. Unlike most eucalyptus trees, it produces slender, willow-like leaves. The leaves are aromatic, but they lack the rounded shape eucalyptus are known for.
If you live in a place where eucalyptus can grow year-round, you'll find them hardy and long-lived trees that suffer from few diseases or pest problems. In cold climates, they die off before they can experience any serious problems.
In some areas, eucalyptus trees have been known to suffer from infestations of eucalyptus gall wasp, which is a tiny grub. You may notice pinkish-brown bumps or galls on the stems near leaves. To control this pest, remove and destroy any infected leaves in the fall. Small trees can be sprayed with a pesticide, but larger trees are difficult to treat.

Hello, my name is Chris and I purchased to small eucalyptus plants this year at a garden center. I would like to know if I planted outdoor, if it will survive the winter? I live in Ontario, Canada, in the southwest region near Lake Ontario. The temperature in the winter varies from minus 15 C to plus 5 C .
Hi Chris. You will have to bring your Eucalyptus indoors for the winter. It won't survive the cold Ontario winter. I live in B.C and bring my plant in every winter. You can grow it in a sunny window or you can cut it back and hibernate it in a dark coolish spot.
Hi! I have a room in my house that gets sun almost all day long and would like to grow a Eucalyptus plant indoors. Which variety would you recommend for that?
Kindly advice what species of Eucalyptus would do well along the slopes of mountain Elgon, in mbale Uganda. But I plant to grow Arábica coffe alongside.


2016 is done. We can not go back. We cannot make those anything better or anything worse. It is over.
We might as well make peace with the past, or it will eat us alive. Lay down those regrets. Let go of those missed opportunities, and look ahead to what is ahead.
Today is a new day. Today is a new year. We have 365 new days to approach, and that means 365 new chances to grasp. We can do this. YOU can do this.
Make the best of it. Give it your best effort, and you may not always reach perfection, but you will be further than you are today.

Giuseppe Maria Mitelli Giuseppe Maria Mitelli
Giuseppe Maria Mitelli (1634–1718, Bologna)
Giuseppe Maria Mitelli
(1634–1718, Bologna)
Genio. Laborem ocio, ocium labore variat. Etching. 31.6 x 45.1 cm. 1691. Bertarelli 323; Varignana 404. Watermark: Fleur-de-lis.
The painter, draughtsman and printmaker, Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, was apprenticed to the cream of Bologna's artists, being taught by no less than Guercino, Francesco Albani and Simone Cantarini. Nowadays Mitelli is best known for his etched genre scenes and caricatures, being regarded as one of the foremost representatives of moralising genre printmaking in 17th century Italy. His substantial printed oeuvre is distinguished by the originality of his invention and his biting satire.
The theme of this entertaining print is the constant alternation between work and idleness in the life of an artist. At the centre of the composition stands the statue of Genio taming a snake, the traditional symbol of seduction and vice. The pedestal bears the inscription: LABOREM OCIO, OCIUM / LABORE VARIAT. / I. M. MITELLUS (work alternates with idleness). The d'Este coat of arms can be seen on a flag being waved by a putto. Numerous other putti illustrate Mitelli's favourite pastimes, such as hunting, fishing, bird catching, ball games, dancing and music. According to contemporary sources the artist had a wide range of interests and could play several musical instruments. The bottom left-hand corner shows Mitelli's involvement in various artistic disciplines, such as painting, sculpture and drawing. The figure of the draughtsman sat with his back to the viewer can be seen as a self-deprecating reference to the artist. The inscription on the stone he is sitting on reads: DI TUTTO UN POCO MA DI TUTTO MALE" ("A little bit of everything but all of it bad"). Meanwhile a masked jester in the centre foreground looks out at the viewer urging him to reflect on what he sees. The light-hearted individual scenes, Mitelli's expressive etching style and the autobiographical reference make this one of the artist's exemplary works.
A very fine impression with wide margins. Minor ageing and traces of handling, otherwise in excellent condition. Rare: Varignana knew of just three impressions.

Q: C# Regex for at least one letter and at least one number I'm attempting to check verify that the password had at least one letter and number.
The following doesn't seem to work.
Password could be  "tester1"  or "11111111t" etc.
Can not be all letters or all digits.
Any ideas?
const string pattern = @"/[a-z].*\d|\d.*[a-z]/";
var match = Regex.Match(password, pattern);

Solved:
var rule1 = password.Any(char.IsLetter);
var rule2 = password.Any(char.IsNumber);

This worked as well:
const string pattern = @"[a-z].*\d|\d.*[a-z]";

A: Instead of using regex, I would use simple rules which would easier to maintain. For example:
var rule1 = str.All(char.IsLetter);
var rule2 = str.All(char.IsNumber);

And you can enrich your rules by char.IsLower, char.IsUpper etc.

A: This will do it...
^(?=.*[a-zA-Z])(?=.*[0-9]).+$

I'm using positive lookaheads (?=) to accomplish this, and then allowing any character . one or more times.  This way the user is allowed to enter special characters, punctuation and such.

A: here's one
((.*\d.*[a-zA-Z].*)|(.*[a-zA-Z].*\d.*))

A: Slashes around the pattern is used in languages that has regular expression literals. C# doesn't have that.
Remove the slashes from the pattern:
const string pattern = @"[a-z].*\d|\d.*[a-z]";

A: Regex for at least one uppercase, one lower case, one number, one special character and at least 8 chars long:
^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[^a-zA-Z0-9 :])(?=.{8,})

Q: A lightweight and performant way to save audio progress in flutter with just audio I want to save the current track and time location in a Just Audio playlist in a flutter app.
My current thought is to save the location using something like
_audioPlayer.positionStream.listen((event) {
  // update the progress bar in the UI

  // save the location using SharedPreferences
});

but I am afraid that this will use a lot of battery life since this function will be run every 16 ms-200 ms. Is there any way to check the battery drain of this one function? And is there any way to save time, but not as often? Would it for instance be better to create another position stream that only runs every 5 seconds? Is there any super failsafe way of saving the location when the user exits the app? Could the solution be to just use another and faster library than SharedPreferences, like hive?
