As of late last week Canadians are paying much less for bounced-check payment bank fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The federal government has capped non-sufficient funds fees \u2014 or NSF fees \u2014 at $10. In the past, banks could charge as much as $45 to $50 when a payment or cheque bounced due to insufficient funds. Under the new rules, banks can also only charge one NSF fee per account every two business days, and they can\u2019t charge the fee at all if the shortfall is under $10. The change is meant to help lower-income Canadians, who are often hit hardest by the fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial experts say it\u2019s a positive step \u2014 but warn banks could try to make up the lost revenue in other ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicago is ready for St. Patrick’s Day as the long time tradition of dying the river green went down on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tradition started in 1962 with a dye plumbers used to test for leaks in pipes. Now, the city uses a more environmentally friendly powder made from vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forty pounds of powdered dye are used. They have a \u201csecret recipe\u201d for the dye and use three boats to spread it \u2014 the first two dump the dye in the river & the third boat mixes it up. It stays green for 24 to 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josh Wardle, the developer behind Wordle, now owned by The New York Times, has launched a new game called Parseword<\/a>. Unlike Wordle, which relies mostly on guessing and elimination, Parseword works more like a tricky cryptic crossword \u2014 requiring players to think about synonyms, word parts, and definitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
