But while having a super broad opening repertoire Ivanchuk played the Sicilian in all three black games The Ukrainian legend is such a lover of the game that he probably simply went for what he felt was the most interesting option against this opponent Wei had some experience in this particular line and got one of his favorite "Sicilian moves" (Nf5) on the board but Ivanchuk had a sharp vision and avoided all the pitfalls Like a modern-day Mikhail Tal the Chinese youngster sacrificed a whole rook there must have been a huge hole in his calculations somewhere because Ivanchuk That rook sac was a bit too frivolous, even for Wei Yi! | Photo: Lennart Ootes/Hoogeveen Chess After two interesting draws (see the PGN file) Wei managed to level the score on the very last day White seemed much in control although Ivanchuk did miss a chance for obtaining an unclear position at some point Powerful chess by Wei Yi in the last classical game. | Photo: Lennart Ootes/Hoogeveen Chess In classical chess the players were only eight Elo points apart but in blitz the "paper difference" was a bit more and in fact won both games played at three minutes and two seconds increment After a nice positional grind in the first he won a very quick game as Black to decide the match: When in good shape the reigning world rapid champion is a fine blitz player too. | Photo: Lennart Ootes/Hoogeveen Chess Games from TWIC 25-year-old Baskaran Adhiban of India and 18-year-old Jorden van Foreest of the Netherlands played four decisive games in the classical part when only the last game in the Van Foreest vs Ivan Sokolov match ended in a draw Adhiban won two technical endings in games two and five Baskaran Adhiban. | Photo: Lennart Ootes/Hoogeveen Chess In the next game the young Dutch GM refuted his opponent's overly aggressive opening play "I probably mixed up something in my preparation," said Adhiban "I'm not sure now if 15...g4 is the move." An excellent match victory for Jorden van Foreest. | Photo: Lennart Ootes/Hoogeveen Chess After Van Foreest won convincingly in the first playoff blitz game Adhiban got a chance in the second but blew it: The two matches once again confirmed that this format is quite a successful change from the original setup the tournament would invite the best female player (a.k.a a strong Dutch player and a former top GM from the past Among the famous names who made the trip to Hoogeveen were Vassily Smyslov and Anatoly Karpov it's good to see that the tournament also tries to innovate—something you can expect from tournament director Loek van Wely Tournament director Loek van Wely. | Photo: Lennart Ootes/Hoogeveen Chess For starters, everyone played with brand new, wireless DGT boards which will be music to the ears of arbiters all over the world who struggle to set up dozens of boards the open tournament changed its format somewhat—a bit similar to the now defunct Millionare Chess tournament in an attempt to make the final rounds more interesting That playoff starts tomorrow; the other players simply play rounds eight and nine it's worth mentioning that three siblings of Jorden van Foreest are playing in Hoogeveen as well In one of the amateur groups his 10-year-old brother Nanne plays and in the open tournament there's his 16-year-old brother Lucas (an IM) and his 10-year-old sister Machteld (Nanne's twin sister) The latter is currently rated 1829 but has so far defeated several 2000+ players and is winning tons of Elo points Machteld van Foreest, a likely future Dutch women's champion or more than that! | Photo: Lennart Ootes/Hoogeveen Chess Lucas was involved in the following puzzle He survived a lost position as his opponent a grandmaster who has been away from chess for about a decade but now plays again went for a repetition with 46.Qf5 Re8 47.Qd5+ R8e6 48.Qd7+ draw GM Harmen Jonkman, who was a very active player in the 1990s and early 2000s, when he ran one of the earliest chess tournament calendars on the internet (now defunct). | Photo: Lennart Ootes/Hoogeveen Chess Another remarkable fragment was the following.

The emails and written statements from Olentangy Schools followed a public records request from The Dispatch They describe the varsity coaching staff forging an "extremely toxic environment" with belittling and abusive language including repeated use of the F word and derogatory references to women Alexander said the comments are exaggerations if not outright lies "I think you're seeing the worst of it piled on after 10 years of an impeccable record by me .. hundreds of amazing moments with these kids," he said "He broke many rules and condoned this reckless behavior," an email to school officials states of Alexander Hoogeveen conceded that he had used profane language while coaching McClelland is alleged to have told a player two years ago "Looking at your (expletive) face makes my skin crawl," a comment verified by other players The names of parents and hockey players were redacted in the emails and 13written statements from players The Dispatch was not able to verify their authenticity In an apparent Q&A with Liberty hockey players they were asked to describe the culture of the hockey program Every win we have had felt like a loss with every player," a player responded describing coaches picking on certain players Another player said that teammates advocated for others at times admonishing coaches for their language One described abuse reaching a breaking point stating "coaches at this point have crossed the line with social Alexander said he was told by two attorneys that once he and his coaches had been suspended that "we were already toast," and there was no chance of keeping their jobs He said he also didn't want to be more of a distraction to his players The coaches were placed on paid administrative leave Feb. 20 as the school district investigated allegations After previously declining to detail the allegations the district said Monday in announcing the resignations that it had received "reports that the former coaches used inappropriate language with student athletes and behaved in a manner inconsistent with their duty to serve as role models." Alexander said rough language is routine in all sports hockey and other team sports where tempers can flare He said much of the criticism is related to lack of playing time and that even many of the players' parents use profane language in a non-threatening way during senior nights "You can't imagine the number of F-bombs dropped by the parents," he said The school district investigation and resignations are a sign of changing times "In the old days you just had to win," he said Alexander said he'll continue leading his title insurance company and remain active in hockey "in the old man's league," he joked "We leave with much love for the kids and never John and Jennifer Hoogeveen and their children are about to make a one-way trip to Puerto Rico The Hamilton family plans to live there for at least a year as part of a Christian mission "We're leaving with the maximum luggage capacity," said John Hoogeveen and through direct and online donations to buy the plane tickets The remaining cash will help the family get started but they still need to get furniture and appliances and pay rent until the family has a regular income John Hoogeveen is a full-time online student enrolled at Virginia-based Liberty University and expects to graduate at the end of next year He hopes to work part-time as a maintenance man at a church Ministerio De La Inglesia Nuevo Testamento Jennifer Gonzalez-Hoogeveen plans on homeschooling the couple's three children: daughter Church officials have told her their school This trip is the latest in a series of leaps of faith for John Hoogeveen He garnered some screen time in feature movies in 2010 He made a 2012 prayer walk from Holland to Washington to "pray for President Barack Obama."

large and diverse cross-cultural sample (N = 10,195 from 24 countries) meaningless statements attributed to either a spiritual guru or a scientist We found a robust global source credibility effect for scientific authorities which we dub ‘the Einstein effect’: across all 24 countries and all levels of religiosity scientists held greater authority than spiritual gurus individual religiosity predicted a weaker relative preference for the statement from the scientist compared with the spiritual guru and was more strongly associated with credibility judgements for the guru than the scientist Independent data on explicit trust ratings across 143 countries mirrored our experimental findings These findings suggest that irrespective of one’s religious worldview across cultures

If those Utahns are expected to absorb that percentage of an $11 billion loss, it would be nearly $5 billion. By comparison, PacifiCorp’s total annual revenue in 2022 was $5.7 billion Hoogeveen called the $11 billion figure “wild speculation PacifiCorp is appealing both the jury verdict and the class-action status “PacifiCorp will vigorously pursue appeals and are confident that we will prevail,” the company says on its web page about the litigation Pacificorp is an investor-owned utility, and it’s not clear how much ratepayers — meaning customers in Utah and other states – would be responsible for paying toward a settlement, or whether the shareholders – most of them stockholders in Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway – would absorb the loss Hoogeveen re-emphasized that no decision has been made about applying to have Utah ratepayers to help cover Oregon costs but he also said future potential liabilities could be larger than any one company can handle “This is bigger than Berkshire,” he said in reference to western wildfires PG&E had to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection because of its fire claims Hoogeveen also noted that Utahns for years have gained advantages from being part of a six-state system with diverse energy sources That includes clean Oregon hydropower powering Utah at times “Our six states have benefited from the diversity of the system The Utah Public Service Commission sets rates for public utilities in the state and the commission decides what costs investor-owned utilities can pass along to Utah customers That is because the utilities are private companies that are granted monopolies to operate Similar regulatory agencies operate in the six states Pacificorp serves Hoogeveen said the company made similar requests for deferred accounts in the other states After Rocky Mountain filed its June request for a wildfire deferred account three entities challenged it as premature since the full extent of wildfire costs are still unknown Those entities are the state Division of Public Utilities a state agency that represents consumers in rate cases an organization of large industrial electricity customers Rocky Mountain on August 21 withdrew the request but it can refile when the costs are better known But the next day (August 22), Rocky Mountain filed a separate request to create a deferred account for costs from increased insurance premiums “Wildfire liability risk is impacting the commercial insurance markets with an increase in the premiums for available insurance coverage,” the company said in its application “PacifiCorp estimates that the commercial insurance costs are approximately $125 million (total company) for the policy period beginning August 15 Current rates reflect approximately $10 million (total company) in insurance costs which would result in a deferral for Utah’s allocated share of approximately $115 million (total company) for the difference between the new costs and the amount in rates.” Hoogeveen acknowledged that the new rate was set after the June verdict He also said the company’s total coverage has decreased by 60 percent a decision made by insurers who were no longer willing to offer as much coverage as they used to The Utah entities that challenged the wildfire account have not yet responded to the application about insurance costs Hoogeveen said at this point the company is not seeking any direct funding from Utah or any other government “We believe there is a regulatory solution.” The Utah code that regulates utilities only mentions deferred accounts without detailing when they can be used, but there is case law. Specifically, the 1986 case Utah Department of Business Regulation vs. Public Service Commission of Utah established that deferred accounts can be used for an unforeseeable event that “results in an extraordinary increase or decrease in expenses or revenue.” Were the Oregon fire damages unforeseeable if the company was found to be negligent? That could be debated and perhaps litigated. Correction: The Oregon jury awarded the 17 survivors $90 million. An earlier version gave an incorrect total for the June verdict.
