All-Area Softball Coach of the Year Edinburg Vela coach Jon Maples poses at Edinburg Vela High School on Tuesday, June 5, 2018, in Edinburg.
Edinburg Vela's Maples proud to be last team, coach standing at season's end
Nate Kotisso
Edinburg Vela's Jon Maples is The Monitor's All-Area Softball Coach of the Year.
EDINBURG — Edinburg Vela coach Jon Maples had a statement to make about his team during a preseason photo shoot at PSJA High. He was asked where he thought the SaberCats would stand at the end of the season.
"I believed we could go three or four rounds deep into the playoffs," Maples recalled. "I knew the girls we had coming in. I believed we had the talent, which included one of the best Valley pitchers (Naomi Reyes) on our side."
Reyes, the eventual All-Area Pitcher of the Year, was not exactly enthused with her coach making his prediction public.
"I thought he was crazy," Reyes said. "I was looking at him like, 'Coach, what are you saying?'"
The 2018 season eventually proved Maples' sanity. The SaberCats finished the year with a program-record 32 wins, their first appearance in the regional semifinal round of the postseason and Maples' first honor as All-Area Coach of the Year.
"We ended last year getting run-ruled in the first round of the playoffs by San Benito, and I knew we were better than that," Maples said. "We laid out these expectations for the girls. We knew that they had been through a lot in three seasons, but we wanted to let them know that we believe in their talent and that they could get this done."
The SaberCats won 18 games in 2017 but quickly put the Valley on notice at the beginning of 2018. Edinburg Vela advanced to the championship game of the Mission Fastpitch Festival before dropping the final to Weslaco High on Feb. 17, then won the La Joya tournament title over Los Fresnos on Feb. 24.
After beating Edinburg High during the Festival, Edinburg Vela couldn't solve the Bobcats, who swept the SaberCats in district play. The district sweep ended Vela's chances at a district title.
"Those losses to (EHS) helped us with our maturity," Maples said. "We had opportunities to win. We knew we could beat this team. We just had to stay away from making mental mistakes. The great thing about our team is that we never got too high up after a win and never too low after a loss. Our routine never changed, and the kids were consistent throughout."
Edinburg Vela exacted revenge on Weslaco High by taking two of three in the bi-district round of the playoffs. The SaberCats swept Laredo Alexander in the area round and then won a one-game playoff against Harlingen South to reach a Sweet 16 matchup versus San Antonio Warren.
Because San Benito lost its one-game playoff against New Braunfels Canyon in the fourth round on May 18, Vela was the last Valley club standing before being swept by Warren on May 19.
"We had a bunch of girls step up to get us that far," Maples said. "Teams would try and take our best players out, but another girl would have a big hit. Our girls are tough. That's why we made history."

Fire engulfs Britannia Beach home on Mother's Day
Online fund started for homeowners who are a beloved film industry couple

It was a sad Mother's Day for a popular film industry couple in Britannia Beach, but the tight-knit community and film friends have rallied around them.
At about dinnertime May 12, the Britannia Volunteer Fire Department arrived to find a fully involved fire at the home of Maja and Jeff Aro on Goat Ridge Drive.
The fire department had two fire trucks and 17 firefighters battling the blaze for about seven hours, though no assistance was required from neighbouring fire departments, according to Fire Chief David Rittberg.
The couple are well known and beloved in the film industry, according to a GoFundMe page set up by friend Robert Compton who described them as "the strongest people in the film industry and community."
The page states that the couple's cat Ninja has been missing since the fire.
The pair are stunt co-ordinators who run Sea to Sky Stunts.
Sabrina Furminger, editor in chief of YVR Screen Scene, also took to Twitter about the house and the couple.
"Last week, Jeff & Maja's Britannia Beach home was featured in a lightsaber video that was viewed millions of times & retweeted by @HamillHimself; this week, their beautiful home is no more – but The Force is strong with the Aros. Let's help them rebuid," she wrote.
Jeff is nominated for Leo Awards for his stunt work on the shows Colony and Lost In Space. The couple are both nominated for their work on The Man In The High Castle.
"They are generous, kind and beyond hard working," Compton added on the online fundraising page, "A helping hand for The Aros."
More than $7,000 was raised in the first four hours after the campaign was launched.
The Britannia community also came out in force to help firefighters battle the blaze.
"Many community members assisted with help moving [air] tanks, hose, etc up and down the steep driveway and freed up our fire department members for fire ground operations," said Fire Chief Rittberg.
The fire is believed to have started in materials stored underneath an outside deck. It spread quickly to the walls, interior and roof of the home, Rittberg told The Chief.

HomeAdoptionA First, But Incomplete, Measure of Adoption Success
A First, But Incomplete, Measure of Adoption Success
November 24, 2015 John Kelly Adoption, Analysis, Featured 2
2016 could be the first year that America has clear, nationwide information about the success rate of adoptions from foster care. But the game plan for tracking this at the federal level might not capture the whole story; maybe not even half of it.
Last year, President Obama signed H.R. 4980, the The Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act. One of its less-heralded components was an instruction regarding the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS), the case-level data collection process that connects county and state child welfare agencies to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Going forward, the law decreed, AFCARS must note the number of youth entering foster care with a prior adoption in their history.
It was hardly a central provision of the bill, which included new requirements for tracking and addressing sex trafficking of minors, while also recalibrating federal adoption incentives for states.
But this seemingly lesser provision, which aims to track the outcome of adoptions, may prove to be a watershed moment in child welfare policy.
The resulting numbers will cast a light on one of child welfare's biggest blind spots: the rate at which adoptions of foster youth do not result in a stable, permanent life for the child.
One recent report on the matter, and there have only been a few in the past 30 years, estimated that up to 20 percent of adoptions could end without permanence for foster youth.
H.R. 4980 mandate will result in the first look at adoptions in more than 20 years. But experts assessing HHS' proposed process for data collection share concerns that the process for collecting this information may undercount failure in some regards, while overcounting it in other ways.
"The question that AFCARS can answer is quite a narrow one with regard to the true outcomes of adoption and guardianship," said Dr. Richard Barth, dean of the social work school at the University of Maryland, in an email to The Chronicle. "I certainly think that this represents progress, but it only partially addresses the issue of how many permanent placements we are making via guardianship and adoption and what we could do to increase those."
H.R. 4980 included a section entitled "Data Collection on Adoption and Legal Guardianship Disruption and Dissolution." The instruction to HHS reads:
"To promote improved knowledge on how best to ensure strong, permanent families for children, the Secretary shall promulgate regulations providing for the collection and analysis of information regarding children who enter into foster care under the supervision of a State after prior finalization of an adoption or legal guardianship."
As mentioned above, this cements into law the first ongoing effort to assess the rate at which adoptions fail for those youth who are adopted out of the foster care system. The largest concerted efforts to track this – two studies done in California and Illinois, both more than 20 years ago – found that about 14 percent of adoptions disrupted.
The HHS instructions, which were published this year in the Federal Register, instruct caseworkers to, "Indicate whether the child experienced prior legal adoption(s) before the current out-of-home care episode." Workers would then check "yes" in a box to note a prior adoption.
If a case worker establishes a prior adoption, he or she must also include the following information:
Prior adoption date (month and year the adoption was finalized)
Prior adoption type (inter-state, intra-state, tribal or international)
Prior adoption jurisdiction
This process is also now required for notation of prior guardianships as well. That is not surprising, since H.R 4980 also authorized the first-ever federal incentive award to states for finalizing guardianship placements.
The process is based on one key supposition: That a caseworker involved in the removal of a child will easily come to discover if said child had ever been adopted. Will it really be that easy for caseworkers to discover a prior adoption, verify it, and trace its origins?
Barth, the social work dean at the University of Maryland, said that the existence of a prior adoption would be evident in many cases. Barth led the failed adoption study in Illinois 30 years ago, and said that less than 10 percent of adopted children come back into foster care because of maltreatment.
"Most come in when the parents can no longer cope, or the child has run away…and the parents don't want to take them back," Barth said.
In those situations, he added, identifying the prior adoption won't be difficult. Additionally, in most states, the vast majority of adoptive parents (about 90 percent) receive some sort of payment through the federal-state partnership for adoption subsidies, according to the National Council on Adoptable Children.
Dawn Post, who leads the Broken Adoptions Project at The Children's Law Center in New York City, is more skeptical.
"Data may be lost because of the simple fact that children's names are changed and they re-enter foster care under a different case number with a different respondent parent," Post said in an e-mail to The Chronicle. "There are no instructions on how the caseworker is to identify that there was a prior adoption placement, and I anticipate that a large number will fall through the cracks at this point and the number in foster care will be under-reported."
According to Voices for Adoption Executive Director Nicole Dobbins, there needs to be "a lot of training done" to ensure that caseworkers are correctly documenting prior adoptions for the new federal count.
Potential for Overcounting
Dobbins voiced concern that adding up the number of kids returning to care from prior adoptions would tell a misleading story about the actual number of adoptive families that had failed, per se.
That is because many adoptive parents are forced to place their children back into foster care in order to affordably access critical health services, particularly for those youth with serious mental health issues.
The numbers on this are murky and somewhat dated. But here is what is certain:
Some states, likely less than a dozen, have laws that prohibit a child welfare agency from requiring parents to relinquish custody in order to access mental health services. The rest of the states either require it or have no set policy.
A Government Accountability Office study published in 2003 found that in just 19 states, 12,700 children entered either the child welfare or juvenile justice system children "so that these children could receive mental health services." The majority of states could not provide information on the subject.
"My concern is that the process for counting adoption dissolution might miss or misinterpret counting families who seek out mental health services from the state," Dobbins said, in an e-mail.
A 2014 report from the Donaldson Adoption Institute, which synthesized state surveys on re-entry, estimated that 10 percent of youth adopted into foster care would re-enter care at some point. But, the report notes, "this number is likely to be lower when there is access to residential care without relinquishing parental custody."
Potential for Undercounting
The HHS-established collection process is guaranteed to capture some significant portion of the kids coming into foster care with a prior adoption. But there's an important group that will not be captured at all through this process: kids whose adoptions fail, but never return to foster care.
What proportion of kids from broken adoptions fall in that group? Both Barth and Dobbins suggested that this could be a significant number. The Donaldson Adoption Institute report estimates that 10 percent of children adopted from foster care "leave their homes…for either short- or long-term periods other than through the child welfare system."
Even the children who return to public custody don't always enter through foster care, Post of The Children's Law Center points out. Often in New York, she said, it happens through the juvenile justice side of the court.
"When a new guardian assumes custody of the child, the child is placed on a delinquency because the adoptive parent refuses to take them home," she said.
And one group that will likely forever elude annual tracking are the youth whose connection to an adoptive parent or guardian ends shortly after the government support checks stop coming.
In a 2014 edition of "The Roundtable," a publication of the National Resource Center on Adoption, researcher Alfred Perez discussed his small-sample study of 31 Chicago-area youths who had been adopted or placed into a subsidized guardianship. He interviewed the youths well after they became adults, and the average age at which his cohort received an adoption or guardianship was 15.
Twelve of the 31 youths either severed the relationship with the caretaker, or the caretaker cut off the relationship with them. Of the other 19 interviewees, Perez described the relationship as "enduring" for 11 of them and "ambivalent" for the other eight.
Perez concludes that, too often, legal permanence is achieved but "relational permanence" is not for foster youth who are adopted or placed with guardians.
Missing a Key Question
Post said one disappointing omission from the collection process is that it will not produce any data on what went wrong.
"To improve outcomes, as this is intended to do, there must be data not just on how long the adoption lasted but why the adoption broke," Post said.
Destiny Reid, a participant in this year's Foster Youth Internship Program on Capitol Hill, voiced a similar concern.
"Congress needs to better understand adoption disruption and dissolution in order to protect future adopted children from the trauma I faced during and after my dissolved adoption," wrote Reid, in a policy brief published this summer.
Reid concurs with Post that the reason for a dissolution or disruption should be recorded, and suggests four other data points for collection:
Reason for dissolution
The length of time it took for the adoption to finalize
The length of time the adoption lasted
The specific agency responsible for the adoptive placement
The child's case plan after re-entry and any relevant information on siblings
What's at Stake?
At the very least, the nation will have an approximate count of the children who re-entered foster care in 2015 after having previously experienced an adoption. It will not be perfect, but it will be an official count with the imprimatur of the federal government on it.
If 10 percent of foster youth who are adopted end up back in care, as most previous research attempts suggest, that would mean 25,798 adoptions from foster care have gone wrong to some extent in the past five years.
If the Donaldson Adoption Institute projections are correct, and another 10 percent disrupt without a re-entry, we are talking about 51,596 former foster youths whose adoptions had either disrupted for fallen apart.
The reason why this data is most important? Funding, of course.
It is not surprising, given the lack of clarity, that a paltry amount of money is spent on post-adoption services, the kind that could help keep an adoptive family together in tough times. Dollars for those programs are dwarfed by expenditures on awareness and recruitment services, or long-term subsidies for adoptive families.
Another provision in H.R. 4980 requires states to spend 30 percent of their adoption incentive bonuses on post-adoption services. At The Children's Law Center, Post and colleagues surveyed states last year to see how they were currently using their adoption incentive funds.
Just six reported using it for post-adoption services.

I want to Convert second url to fist url automatically. How to do that. Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Dwarika

A: I am not sure what language you are using. But if you are doing this on the server side in C# you could use a regex:
static void Main( string[] args )
{
    //Your test string
    string test = @"http://www.starmicronics.com/printer/home.aspx";
    var result = Regex.Replace( test, "(?<=[^/]/)[^/]", delegate( Match match )
    {
        string v = match.ToString();
        return char.ToUpper(v[0]) + v.Substring(1);
    });
    Console.WriteLine(result); //http:www.starmicronics.com/Printer/Home.aspx
}

Explanation of Regex (?<=[^/]/)[^/]

*

*A character that is not a / preceded by a / that itself is not preceeded by a /

*[^/] not a /

*?<= a positive look behind

This is a simple approach that would satisfy your example.

A: Please try ISAPI_Rewrite 3, it may help you. you need to write rule for it.

Barbara Kruger and Catherine Opie resign from MOCA board
By Jori Finkel
In another vote of no-confidence in the current direction of the Museum of Contemporary Art, prominent Los Angeles artists Barbara Kruger and Catherine Opie have resigned from the museum board.
John Baldessari left Thursday, making Ed Ruscha the only remaining artist-trustee on the MOCA board.
The resignations follow the recent ousting of chief curator Paul Schimmel, who had closely shaped MOCA's exhibition program until gallery owner Jeffrey Deitch was hired two years ago as museum director.
Opie is known for her photographic portraits. Kruger's billboard-style works combine text and images. Neither shies away from political content in their art.
Opie, who said that she and Kruger sent a joint email on Friday to Deitch and MOCA board co-chairs David Johnson and Maria Bell, named Schimmel's forced resignation along with the firing of curatorial assistants and longtime education program manager Aandrea Stang as factors in her decision.
The artist said she could not attend last month's board meeting, where the dismissals were approved, but wishes she had been consulted.
"I'm very concerned with how communication as a whole works at the museum," she said. "The fact that there was no phone call to us--no heads-up about Paul and all of the other people let go--is troubling. There should have been better communication so we could handle this as community leaders."
Opie also said that she was not a fan of MOCA's shift to flashier exhibitions.
"I love and respect MOCA. It's the first place I've ever had a solo museum show, and it's had a profound influence on artists in Los Angeles, but the museum is taking such a different direction now," she said. "I believe that MOCA's strengths have always been in relationship to the outstanding scholarly curatorial practice it had established. What concerns me is seeing the museum embracing more celebrity and fashion."
In comments after his resignation, Baldessari also cited Schimmel's forced resignation, as well as Deitch's plan to present an exhibition about the impact of disco on visual art and design.
Kruger, reached in New York, confirmed her resignation but declined to say more about it. "Everything that I think I put in that letter," she said. "I'd like at some point to share it but not yet."
MOCA gave Kruger a retrospective in 1999, which traveled the following year to the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. She also had a major show at Deitch Projects, Jeffrey Deitch's New York gallery, in 1997.
Although the artists on the MOCA board are not expected to pay annual dues like other trustees, they serve more than a symbolic role. They participate in board meetings and regularly donate works of art to be sold for the museum's benefit.
Kruger sold a six-figure artwork to help fund the "Ends of the Earth" Land Art survey currently running at the museum. Opie prepared a set of 50 prints to be sold for $125,000 to benefit the museum's education department, shortly before she learned of Stang's departure.
Reached Saturday afternoon, museum board co-chairs Johnson and Bell responded with a statement. "We are very saddened by Barbara's and Cathy's decision and are confident that they will remain involved in shaping the future of MOCA. We are very grateful for their commitment and generosity to the museum."
Ruscha, who is out of the country, could not be reached for comment.

Lines are wrapping around the block at ATMs throughout Greece as citizens wait to withdraw their money. A significant number of ATMs are already out of cash.
Last week, many thought that Greece and the IMF were close to reaching a deal, but Friday, things took a significant turn for the worse. Alex Tsipras rejected the latest proposal by the Troika and Angela Merkel said that there would be no deal under the current terms. With a June 30th deadline approaching to make a €1.6 billion Euro debt repayment, the country looks to be teetering on the edge of default.
A referendum on July 5th will give the Greek people a chance to vote on whether or not to remain a part of the Eurozone. Right now, there are thousands of Greeks rallying in the streets in favor of a "No" vote– a "No" would mean popular support for a Grexit.
While U.S. companies have limited exposure to the Greek economy and there are only a few Greek companies that are publicly traded on the NYSE, many investors are fearful that if Greece does vote to exit from the Eurozone, that other countries could quickly follow. Spain and Italy are believed to be the next two dominoes in line. U.S. stocks fell more than 200 points in early trading on the news.
The greatest immediate concern comes from other Eastern European economies. Officials from Bulgaria have said that a Grexit will likely negatively impact their country's plans to join the Eurozone. Eastern European countries have greater exposure to Greek companies than Western Europe and the U.S.
New car sales in Greece have spiked in recent months and today, supermarkets in Athens are running out of food as Greek citizens have frantically tried to buy whatever they can with their remaining Euros. If the Drachma does replace the Euro in Greece, it is expected that the new currency could instantly lose 1/4 or more of its value as soon as it is issued.
Capital controls were put in place today in an attempt to stem the bank run. Citizens are only permitted to withdraw 60 Euros per day– that's 1,800 per month. Not much. Greek Prime Minister Alex Tsipras has said that as of now, all deposits are guaranteed and that there would be no "haircut". The most frightening outcome for the Greek people would be for their pensions and savings accounts to be confiscated in order to repay some of the debt.
If all of this sounds familiar, that's because it is. Cyprus went through a similar situation in 2013. The country instituted its own capital controls as part of efforts to stem the outflow of currency from the country.
And in the past six months, Switzerland, Denmark, and Ukraine all experienced similar, albeit brief, currency crises. In January, Switzerland de-pegged the value of the Swiss Franc from the Euro on fears of a Grexit, causing it to spike overnight. This led to ATMs throughout the country to run out of Euros. After the Swiss de-peg, many Forex traders were betting that Denmark's Krone would soon follow. The head of Denmark's Central Bank issued a statement saying that the country would employ capital controls if necessary to support the Euro peg. That led to the Krone's biggest drop in value since 2001 as traders moved en-masse to dump their holdings. In February, as the conflict began to heat up in Ukraine, the hryvnia fell by more than 70%, leading many Ukrainians to rush to the bank to exchange them for dollars, euros, or whatever other currency they could before their money became completely worthless. This also forced the country to close currency exchanges and institute rationing of basic groceries as Ukrainians rushed to their supermarkets to buy as much food as they could before it was too late.
Venezuela has also recently been hit hard by hyperinflation. The situation got so bad that earlier this year, the country had to broker deals to trade oil for toilet paper and tampons.
While the U.S. dollar is currently strong (some would say too strong), the potential for hyperinflation here at home remains a possibility. More than 1/3 of U.S. debt (over 5 trillion dollars) is currently held by foreign countries, the majority of it owned by China. Most economists agree that we will never be able to repay what we currently owe. When those debts come due, what will happen to the value of the dollar?
You probably remember that after 9/11, we had our own bank holiday. President George W. Bush called for markets and banks to close for three days while volatility decreased. It could happen again.
When the next crisis hits, do you want to be stuck waiting in line at the ATM, hoping that it hasn't already run out of dollars? If the situation is bad enough, the ATMs might not even be turned on.

Article Marketing – Create high-quality backlinks with Article Marketing.
Does article marketing really bring visitors to a site? There are certainly a couple of things that you need to consider before you begin pumping out a thousand articles and obtain frustrated by the results.
Article promotion can be an exact efficient means to create a whole lot of visitors to your own business fast and during a long time period also. Because article marketing is just one of the successful advertising methods some of the very successful internet sites on the web use article marketing to advertise their organizations.
If you are not knowledgeable about the term, content promotion is publishing material provided by you to other sites. Some of these sites may be similar to your own, but others could be article directory sites. In the event you provide stuff for the competitor's websites, how does this help you, you could be wondering?
It will. Every article you write will include a backlink. Backlinks are important as they are valued by the search engines! You may find a better position on your own site when you've got a lot of traffic for it. The search engines regard backlinks as recommendations on your site from sources that are independent. It doesn't matter that you are the creator!
To put it still another way, should you provide an article on another website, you've got a backlink to your own site. Some of the people reading your article will click through to your site and the search engines can present your site another sign up for having a link. That is win-win.
A very well-crafted composition might also be released from an article directory on other people's internet sites. Still another win win! That is why you need to choose the opportunity to write decent excellent articles on special topics. If you can't write the articles yourself or don't desire, think about employing a ghost writer or freelancer writer to compose you.
To begin, you must have a good idea of what you would like to write. While you write, keep your key words and phrases that are key in mind. Do not forget, people want information, so produce a good quality, well crafted, article that is relevant in their opinion. You will gain the advantage of being seen as an expert in your area if you do it regularly.
After you've reviewed and written on your article, spend time writing your headline. This really is what's currently going to have folks to keep to read this particular own article.
A fantastic headline will entice readers into your essay.
The final step up essay writing is to, make sure you compose a persuasive rationale for a person to click on the link on your resource box. Keep it fairly short and make sure you make a controlling link straight back to the site or your site you would like to promote.
After everything is done, you can submit your own article. You will find plenty of informative article submitters out or you could choose to do it.
I suggest you use EzineArticles, GoArticles, and ArticleBase to start your article entries. Each site displays your articles, therefore make sure they're up to scratch.
Your article may take weeks or hours to be published and approved. Work with a backlink checker to find out how well your article is doing. You can find one. Enter your website address and hit.
Article promotion is an incredibly effective way to bring you traffic to your site. It is going to even improve your rank and Page Authority it will get you into a top position on the search engine for a certain key word or phrase when you've spent enough time researching your keywords and phrases. The disadvantage to content promotion is it is a rather slow way but every time you publish a brand new article, you improve your own content marketing campaigns that may boost your earnings campaigns over time.
Remember, patience and quality content is the key to article marketing.

In which I proved I can still finish on top of the pack…for now!
We had x at Bunratty 2019, which was another bumper 350-player festival, and although we didn't take home any money for the first time in quite a while, there were still some very solid ratings gains on offer. In the Minor, a last-round draw with the top seed denied Yubo a share of third place; he's now at the stage where it's going to be an annoying struggle to get out of the U1200 section, as his 4½/6 only saw him gain 18 points. Behind him, Venkat started slowly but ended with two Sunday wins for 4/6, while Lorcan's 3/6 saw him drop 30 points and Felipe's 1½/6 was an improvement on Gonzaga and St Andrew's.
But most of our players, for once, were in the Majors or the Challengers. Lara and William were the forerunners in the Major; Lara got 4/6, losing her final round – as black! – which denied her a share of second at her opponent's expense, while William got to 2½/3 before being scuppered by an 1199 who ended with a 1700 performance. This was all the more surprising given he had a 24 K-factor; with a 40 K-factor, he would have gained 270 points, and William, who took a bye in round 6, would have been up, not down, points.
Elsewhere, Felix recovered from a bad start to win three on the trot before falling victim to the same player who beat Lara in the last round, and then had a tough draw in the last round against the unbeaten Rafael Renji, from which he took a draw. Finn lost to three players rated 150+ points higher and beat three players 150+ points lower to pretty much break even – this included losing to Lara and Slavko in the first two rounds in what were relatively rare examples of derbies over the weekend. Slavko also ended on 3, as did Thomas, who of course lost to Patrick Brozynski, but still ended the weekend up 40 points. Zhengjun had a bit of a disaster though in his first tournament since gaining 200 points at Gonzaga – his 1239 performance would have been ok a month ago, but this time around it saw him lose 80 points! Still, it's far from uncommon to lose points straight after a huge gain, and you just have to trust that your strength is increasing when your rating is taking a battering!
Leon and Dylan scored 2½; the former after starting with 2½/4, and the latter after taking a final round bye; Dylan was also involved in the only derby in the section, when he beat Brendan, who scored three 1700+ draws before, as you do, losing his final round match against a player who ended up with a 1570 rating.
The unexpected star performance came from Odhrán, who only lost once all weekend and ended on 3½ for a 110 point gain. That one defeat did come against a player who had fallen asleep mid-match – Odhrán's games are never particularly wild, but they're rarely that dull… After some agonising as to what to do about an opponent who had her head on her hands by the board on her own move, the controller eventually gave her a nudge, and she woke up and played out a win – and suitably refreshed, went on to win her other two Saturday games as well.
I did manage to pip Odhrán on tie-break in the final rankings, though it could have been better as I missed two wins against 1900s. The first played what I assumed was a pet – if obscure – line of the Scandinavian, but it was in fact complete nonsense and I missed the chance to win a piece as early as move 8, while in the second game, I agreed a draw in a position Fritz gave as +6, with the winning plan being to run my king into space; I had missed that not only did my opponent not have an attack, but his bishop was also trapped and lost. In between, I had a 14-move defeat where I simply played my 9th and 10th move in the wrong order; my opponent said he had picked up the opening – the h3-g4 line against the Dutch – from a player he had played a couple of years ago called Brendan Cooney… But I finished off with a nice win against Jack Short; I've now played Jack five times, and each time white has won (and in fact, in my six games against Shorts in general, white has always won). In this position, black has just played 17. … Bb7-d5, intending to meet 18. Qh3 with Rd8 and hiding the king on f8. How did white, to play, refute that plan?
After 18. Rh8+!, black resigned – mate is unavoidable, despite the fact that black has a brief king hunt. 18. … KxR 19. Qh3+ and mate next move is trivial, but 18. … BxR 19. Qh3 is also mate after 19. … QxP+ 20. Kc1 Qa1+ 21. Kd2 Rd8 22. Qh7+ Kf8 23. QxB#. A nice way to end a weekend which saw me gain 30 points and reach a new high of 1731.

Communists prefer 'capitalists' as independent candidates in Kerala
The Left Democratic Front, unlike previous elections, has 11 independents contesting for them in north Kerala, several of whom are businessmen, while the United Democratic Front has four independents
Ashlin Mathew
Updated: 02 Apr 2021, 2:38 PM
The Left Democratic Front, unlike previous elections, is supporting 11 independents in north Kerala, several of whom are businessmen, while the United Democratic Front is supporting four independents, two of whom are members of a splinter political party which hasn't yet been recognised by the state election commission.
This is unlike the 2016 elections when LDF had supported seven independent candidates, some of whom are contesting this year too, while UDF had none.
Earlier, LDF used to field prominent persons such as Justice VR Krishna Iyer, poet ONV Kurup, and media critic and cultural activist Sebastian Paul as independent candidates.
Of the 11 LDF supported independent candidates, eight are crorepatis and of the four UDF supported independents, two are crorepatis. Amongst these candidates, LDF supported candidate PV Anvar, the incumbent Nilambur MLA, has declared the highest assets, worth Rs 64 crore. He is a businessman who owns construction companies, crushers and several trading companies in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Sri Lanka.
Incidentally, he also has a cheating case under Section 420 registered against him in a property-related matter.
He is followed by LDF's Sulaiman Haji, who has declared assets worth Rs 47 crore and is contesting from Kondotty Assembly seat in Malappuram district.
A businessman from Dubai, Haji had recently landed in controversy when it came to light that he had a second wife, a 19-year-old Pakistani teenager, a fact that he did not mention in the election affidavit.
Another businessman, KP Musthafa, a former Indian Union Muslim League member, who has declared assets worth Rs 37 crore, is LDF's candidate from Perinthalmanna in Malappuram.
Mani C Kappen, who broke away from Kerala Congress (M) in February 2021 to form Nationalist Congress Kerala (NCK) and is now contesting as part of the UDF, has declared assets worth Rs 27 crore. The son of a freedom fighter and a former Parliamentarian, Kappan had produced several popular movies in the 1990s.
UDF's Perambra Assembly seat candidate CH Ebrahimkutty, who runs a recruitment company called Charishma, has declared assets worth Rs 8 crore.
LDF's candidate for Chavara Assembly constituency in Kollam is Dr Sujith Vijayanpillai, who has declared assets of Rs. 4.4 crore. His father N Vijayan Pillai used to be the Chavara MLA until his death in March 2020.
V Abdurahiman, LDF's candidate from Tanur constituency in Malappuram district, is also a businessman who has declared assets worth Rs 2.5 crore. He reportedly used to own Hindustan Unilever agencies in Malappuram.
LDF's Ernakulam candidate Shaji George, who owns the publishing house Pranatha, has declared assets worth Rs 3 crore.
LDF's PTA Rahim, who is contesting as an independent from Kunnamangalam in Kozhikode district, has declared assets worth Rs 2 crore. A member of the Indian National League, he war earlier with the IUML.
Rahim was allegedly named in the Karipur gold smuggling case of 2018.
KT Jaleel, the current higher education minister, who is contesting from Malappuram district's Thavanur, has declared assets worth Rs 1.2 crore. He is a professor of history at PSMO College in Tirurangadi.
Criticising the LDF's move, activist and left ideologue KM Shahjahan said this is a part of the decay facing the Left of late. "In Malappuram district, LDF hardly has any influence, but the party used to field hardworking party candidates. But, as a part of the decay ravaging through CPI(M), the party now fields businessmen from such seats. The candidates will pay money for these seats and spend their money to contest from these seats. These candidates will contribute to the party too," elaborated Shajahan.
The remaining candidates are lakhpatis. LDF's Koduvally candidate Karat Razak is a businessman who has declared Rs 74 lakh as assets. His name had cropped up in the recent gold smuggling scandal.
UDF's Dinesh Perumanna, an independent candidate from Kunnamangalam, has declared assets worth Rs 43 lakh. Kovoor Kunjumon, LDF's Kunnathur candidate, has declared assets worth Rs 11 lakh while UDF's Elathur candidate Sulphikar Mayoori has assets worth Rs 5 lakh.
LDF has fielded an independent candidate, Niyas Pulikkalakath, from Tirurangadi. His affidavit was not clear on the Election Commission website. He, however, is one of the chairpersons of Kerala SIDCO, which provides marketing support to Micro Small and Medium Enterprises in the state.
Political pundits reiterate that this would lead to issues within the party. "When an election is conducted, the party rank and file will be disgruntled and vote against CPI(M). The independent candidates who have been fielded have no connection with the common people and are from the business class. When the business class contests elections, their ideology will clash with that of the rank and file. Businessmen will not take a position which goes against them," explained Shajahan.
This will backfire, Shajahan reiterated, and added that such moves would not succeed. "In a proletarian party like CPI(M), when they field business class citizens who have no connection with the party, it goes against the ideals of the party. It will be reflected in elections," added Shajahan. Being a cadre party, issues such as these are not discussed on public platforms.
"Once you check the election affidavits of the LDF's independent candidates, you will see that they have been fielded in Congress and IUML strongholds. They are billionaires and that seems to be their criteria," said Rahul Mamkoottathil, Congress ideologue and former NSUI leader.
Dinesh Perumanna was a zila parishad member and he is contesting from Kunnamangalam. He is actually a Congress worker, but as the seat was allotted to IUML, he is contesting as an independent candidate. Mamkoottathil added that several of these candidates were either Congress or IUML rebels. "They are candidates who did not show much promise with these parties, so they broke away."
Incidentally, the two candidates with the highest declared assets in this year's polls in the state are MV Shreyams Kumar (Rs 88 crore) belonging to Loktantrik Janata Dal, which is a part of LDF and CS Rajasekharan Nair (Rs 64.3 core) of the BJP.

Decoupage a wooden potpourri box with dried pansies or other dried flowers, then fill with fragrant potpourri for a great homemade gift.
I chose a pansy theme for this little wooden box, but any small, flat pressed flowers, or an assortment of flat leaves or flower petals, would work for this easy decoupage project.
1. Base paint the wooden box, including the wire inset, in the color of your choice. If needed, apply a second coat. Let the paint dry.
2. Assemble an assortment of pressed flowers and leaves. Select some flowers and try a trial run, arranging the flowers on the top, or the side of the box, to see what they may look like when glued in place. When you have a pleasing arrangement, set the flowers down on the table in the order that you will be using them.
Apply a small amount of decoupage medium, or thinned glue and water, to the area of the box where you will place the first flower.
Pick up the flower and brush decoupage medium on the back with a small soft brush. Gently apply the flower to the box, smoothing it down with the brush. Coat the top of the flower generously with decoupage medium.
Continue placing the rest of the flowers, applying decoupage medium as you did with the first blossom.
3. Repeat Step Two with each side of the box where you plan to apply flowers.
4. Once all flowers are in place, brush the entire box with a coat of decoupage medium or thinned white glue.
5. Apply one or more coats of craft varnish or sealer, or another coat of decoupage medium, until the box has a satisfactory matte or gloss sheen.
6. Fill the box with potpourri.

Ex-FBI Agent and Wife Charged in $1.3 Million Investment Fraud Scheme
A former FBI special agent and his wife have been charged in Richmond, Va. federal court in a $1.3 million investment fraud scheme, the Justice Department announced Wednesday.
Ex-agent John Robert Graves, 52, and Sara Turberville Graves, 44, both of Fredericksburg, Va., are charged with multiple counts.
Authorities said that Graves founded Brook Point Management (BPM) in 2003, a company that sold insurance, performed estate and tax planning services and recruited and advised investment clients.
The indictment alleges that between June 2008 and July 2011, John Graves, Sara Graves, and others schemed to defraud approximately 11 investors in central Virginia of approximately $1.3 million.
Authorities alleged that the couple raised investor funds by misrepresenting "the safety and security of the investments, as well as misrepresentations and omissions regarding their use of investor money."
Authorities alleged that the two used the investor funds to pay back previous investors who requested access to their money; purchase real estate in Partlow, Va.; and pay personal expenses, including credit card bills and time share dues. Authorities alleged that even after the scheme was uncovered, John Graves continued to make misrepresentations through false and misleading statements to the investors and to investigators from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

Ex-Head of Dallas FBI Wanted to Fire Agent Now Accused of Threatening to Kill Wife and Current Head of Office
The ex-FBI agent accused of threatening to kill his estranged wife and the head of the Dallas FBI should have been dismissed 18 years ago after he was involved in a seven-hour standoff with the SWAT team, the former head of the office told the Dallas Morning News.
Oliver "Buck" Revell, the former special agent in charge of the Dallas office, told the paper that he recommended firing agent Carlos Ortiz, but his superiors in Washington rejected it, pointing out that psychiatrists had deemed him fit for duty.
Ortiz had barricaded himself in his home over "job stress and personal issues," the Dallas Morning News reported.
"They came back and said it was stress induced, and as soon as it was dealt with, he would be just fine," Revell told the paper. "My recommendation to headquarters was unequivocal that this man was not qualified to be an agent or carry a weapon and I want him out of my office. They said, 'Well that would be a discriminatory action.' "
A magistrate judge ruled that Ortiz was a danger to society and ordered him held in jail pending his trial on federal charges of threatening to kill his estranged wife, who is an FBI analyst, and the head of the Dallas FBI.

More Maddening Madoff News: His Wife Withdrew $15 Million Just Before His Arrest
In every passing week, the level of disgust in the Bernie Madoff case rises.
BOSTON/NEW YORK – The wife of Bernard Madoff withdrew more than $15 million from an account linked to the accused swindler in the days before his arrest, Massachusetts authorities said on Wednesday, adding a new layer of intrigue to the probe of the purported $50 billion scam.
Ruth Madoff pulled out $10 million on December 10, the day before her husband was arrested and charged with running a global investment fraud, and $5.5 million on November 25, according to Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin.
The disclosure came in reports produced by Cohmad Securities Corp, a firm co-owned by Bernard Madoff that funneled millions of dollars from its clients to the financier. Galvin's office filed a court complaint trying to suspend Cohmad's license as a broker in Massachusetts.

PJ-2 Series Shovel-Evo - E.R.T. Products, Inc. | E.R.T. Products, Inc.
The Pro-Just works will all 3 springs from our SP-1 Superpump-kit along with the stock harley oil pressure relief spring. You have the advantage of the whole range of springs to enable correct factory oil pressure!
Pro-Just bodies are made from "Billet" 6061 aluminum and are counter bored to accept two o-rings. The first o-ring seals around a knurled stainless steel thumbscrew that provides the adjustment. The second o-ring ensures that the Pro-Just seals properly in the oil pump's pressure relief valve.
Adjustment of the oil pressure is done with the engine running. Turning the thumbscrew clockwise increases oil pressure, counter clockwise decreases oil pressure.
As you are dialing in your oil pressure you will notice that it only takes a small turn to watch the needle on your gauge move up or down. Once desired oil pressure is achieved, no further adjustment should be necessary.
The PJ-2 neutral setting is 1/8" from the top of the Pro-Just body to the bottom of the thumbscrew head.
NEVER adjust above neutral setting!!!
Once proper oil pressure is reached, measure the distance between the top of the aluminum body and the bottom of the thumbscrew. Remove and clean the thumbscrew, apply a couple of drops of BLUE Loctite and reassemble. This will ensure that your adjustment is maintained!!!
If time has elapsed since your last oil change, now is a good time to change your oil and your filter. This will effect your oil pressure and engine life.
If your oil pressure reads 0 p.s.i. before & after installing the Pro-Just, please check your oil pump completely for any broken keys or gouged gear pockets!
The Pro-Just is an adjustable pressure relief cap that allows the precise adjustment of oil pressure. Pro-Just bodies are made from "Billet" 6061 aluminum and are counter bored to accept two o-rings. Includes the "blue" Super-Pump spring.

The Youth Endurance Network is a not-for-profit platform working to promote philanthropy, humanitarianism, education and science within Hong Kongs youth community, through challenging, yet accessible expeditions and endurance events.We have had numerous successes since our inception in 2009, most notably establishing Running to Stop the Traffik and organising Hong Kongs 24 Hour Race. We have raised over HK$3.5 million for causes combating modern-day slavery through Freedom Matters Nepal/UK, Esther Benjamins Trust, and AFESIP. We have also participated in and organised challenging, record breaking expeditions, raising funds and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, Joshua Hellmann Foundation for Orphan Disease, Cystic Fibrosis Trust UK, and EduRelief.In the summer of 2014, we will be leading an expedition of young Hong Kongers to the remote Land of High Passes, in the far northern reaches of the Indian Himalaya. For 23 days the team will train at altitude, develop mountaineering skills, become the youngest expedition to conquer the 18,300ft Parangla Pass, as well as the 19,100ft Parangla Peak. They will march for 12 days across one of the most untouched, pristine wildernesses in the Himalayas, and challenge themselves both physically and mentally as they cross 100km in the footsteps of renowned 19th Century Tibetologist and German explorer A.H. Francke. Concurrently, the team will partake in the first glaciological investigation on the Parangla Glacier since the 1850s.The team will be drawn from all walks of life, based upon merit, needs blind, from across Hong Kongs vast youth community. We are searching for the next generations Wong How Man. We want to provide youths, who would otherwise miss out on the opportunity, the chance to take part in a pioneering expedition, to do what no other youth team has ever done, to uniquely contribute to Himalayan glaciological understanding, to meet the isolated, nomadic Ladakhis, to embark on a life-altering odyssey.We are young explorers, humanitarians, academics, environmentalists and scientists looking to infuse passion for adventure in Hong Kongs greatest resource.From 3rd Jul to 25th Jul 2014More information is herehttp://www.youthendurance.com/

Photo: File – (Left to Right) – Oromo Freedom Fighters Elemoo Qilixuu, Jaarraa Abbaa Gadaa, and Muhaammad Umar in Aden, Yemen, in 1969.
The Oromo freedom fighters led by Elemoo Qilixuu participated at the foundation of the Oromo Liberation Front in Dec-Jan 1974 in Finfinnee along with leaders of the underground Macha-Tuullama youth movement, and went on to resume the armed resistance against the Abyssinian colonial forces in the highlands of Charchar, Eastern Oromia. However, the armed resistance led by Elemoo Qilixuu was short-lived due to the martyrdom of Elemoo in Sept 1974. While the Oromofreedom fighters led by Jaarraa AbbaaGadaa en route to eastern Oromia were detained by the Somali government, and upon his release in 1975 from the Somali prison, Jaarraa Abbaa Gadaa joined representatives of the underground study cells of the OLF, individual Oromo nationalists andpatriots for the "Founding Congress" of the OLF in June 1976, at which pointthe 1974 draft program was revised and a new detailed political program of the Front was issued. More on the Birth of the OLF can be found on the Oromo Chronology @ Gadaa.com .
( OPride.com ) — Ibro Shaxa was killed at the battle of Ciracha during Egyptian invasion of Harar led by Rauf Pasha in 1876. He left behind a teenage son, Hamid. Unlike his father, Hamid, was poisoned by Menelik after the battle of Calanqo (1887) in which the Abyssinian army defeated Oromo fighters. Hamid, too, left his young son, Ibrahim, behind.
Abdulkarim Ibrahim was born in 1936,at a time when Abyssinian feudal lords usurped Oromo lands and subjected the farmers to a life of servitude. The son of Haji Ibrahim Hamid Ibro Shaxa, Abdulkarim — better know as Jaarraa Abbaa Gadaa — was born in Eastern Oromia, near Gara Mulata, at a village of Mudir Goro,to a generation of men who have diedfighting long and hard.
From an early age, in and outside of school, his peers knew Jaarraa as a respectful and humble friend. Compassionate by nature, the soft hearted Jaarraa was known for helping the needy. As he came of age, Jaarraa began seeing notable differences between the haves and have not's, the troublemakers and thetroubled among his rural community. He soon realized that the Oromo wereseen as inferiors and relegated to second-class status on their own land. He demurred at those who attemptedto fit-in with others by accepting what was imposed on them instead of revolting against the status quo and fighting for their freedom.
Wherever he went, the young Abdulkarim spoke proudly in Afan Oromo, at a time when the language was not favored. Proud of his culture and heritage, Abdulkarim began teaching others about it. After completing secondary education at the city of Harar, in Eastern Ethiopia, the suffering of Oromo people began to weigh heavily on his soul. Though he had a promising educational and political career as one of the few Oromos who completed secondary school in those days, he was most concerned with Oromo people's freedom and dignity. At the height of his youth, Jaarraa left school and wentto Asabot, also in Eastern Oromia, to prepare for a journey that would shape the rest of his life — taking himaround the world for nearly half a century.


A budget proposal from Washington's governor could spell doom for that state's struggling hemp industry.
State agriculture officials have stopped issuing hemp licenses, and they say they'll end the hemp program without an infusion of cash to pay for oversight.
The situation got more dire this week when a budget proposal from Gov. Jay Inslee did not include the $287,000 the hemp program needs, according to the Capital Press, which covers agriculture news in six Western states.
That means likely doom for Washington's hemp program unless lawmakers override his decision to leave hemp out of the state spending plan.
Agriculture officials told the news outlet they're OK ending the hemp program.
"We understand the governor has to balance a lot of priorities. We are supportive of his budget," said Hector Castro, spokesman for the state Department of Agriculture.
But state Sen. Judy Warnick, a Republican whose district contains the state's largest hemp farm, said she hoped that lawmakers will appropriate the money for hemp.
A total of 175 acres of hemp were cultivated in Washington state in 2017, compared with 3,469 acres in Oregon, according to the advocacy group Hemp Vote.
Colorado led all states with more than 9,000 acres.
With all the beneficial uses for hemp why would the state not want to help get this established and provide additional tax revenues for education, infrastructure, mental health, and so on? The state receives more than the $287,000 needed, each week, from hemp's first cousin cannabis. This makes no sense. Wake up governor. This is petty cash compared to the benefits from hemp.
There is a hold over bill from the last legislative session asking for $145,000 to fund the pilot program that has legislative suppprt. If this Senate bill 5732 for 2017-2019 dosen't pass, others are in the works. Governor Inslee is for Industrial Hemp even though he didn't give funds from his very tight budget because this bill still stands.
Also, the WSDA has to be ok with the funding decision because that is part of their job description. Please do more research on Washington State.
