Mysterious Disappearance of Mary Seymour
23 Sep 2021 Leave a comment
Mary Seymour (August 30, 1548 – unknown), was the only daughter of Thomas Seymour, 1st Baron Seymour of Sudeley, and Catherine Parr, widow of Henry VIII of England and Ireland. Mary was born at her father’s country seat, Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire.
Parents
Catherine Parr was the eldest child of Sir Thomas Parr, lord of the manor of Kendal in Westmorland, (now Cumbria), and Maud Green, daughter and co-heiress of Sir Thomas Green, lord of Greens Norton, Northamptonshire, and Joan Fogge. Sir Thomas Parr was a descendant of King Edward III, and the Parrs were a substantial northern family which included many knights.
Catherine was Queen of England and Ireland as the last of the six wives of King Henry VIII from their marriage on July 12, 1543 until Henry’s death on January 28, 1547.
About six months after Henry VIII’s death, she married her fourth and final husband, Thomas…

The Most Pointless Election Since 1965
22 Sep 2021 Leave a comment
2019 & 2021
We have just undergone a futile election which has produced substantively the same outcome as the previous general election in October 2019: a Liberal plurality around 15 to 20 seats short of a majority.
On 21 October 2019, Canadians elected the 43rd Parliament as follows:
| Party | Seat Count | Popular Vote | Vote Total |
| Liberals | 157 | 33.1% | 5,911,588 |
| Conservatives | 121 | 34.4% | 6,150,177 |
| Bloc Quebecois | 32 | 7.7% | 1,377,234 |
| New Democrats | 24 | 15.9% | 2,845,949 |
| Greens | 3 | 6.5% | 1,160,694 |
As of around 0900 on 21 September, the preliminary results show that on 20 September 2021, we have elected a 44th Parliament virtually identical to its predecessor. The results in some ridings might change as Elections Canada counts the rest of the mail-in ballots this week, but the general result of a Liberal plurality at roughly the same level as two years ago will not.

Pumped hydro more expensive than batteries: the calculations
22 Sep 2021 Leave a comment
Now let’s take a look into the calculations that Ronald Brakels made to prove that hydro power (Snowy Hydro 2.0) is more expensive than battery storage (Hornsdale Power Reserve). His arguments were spread over many paragraphs and at first glance it was not very clear what he was calculating exactly and why. Therefor, I thought it might be a good idea to redo his calculations. This reconstruction will be the subject of this post and I will clearly write out all his calculations in order to better understand his arguments.
The calculation can be divided into three parts.
