Plot
Loukyam opens with Venky (Gopichand) kidnapping Neetu (Shyamala), Babji's sister as she is marrying Bharath (Bharath Reddy) although she is in love with someone else. He leaves for Hyderabad and waits for everything in his home, Warangal to clear. He stays with his friend, Shyamala (Satyam Rajesh). There he falls for Chandrakala (Rakul Preet Singh), the sister of Sathya (Rahul Dev), a don in Hyderabad. Chandrakala rags other students in the college using her brother's power. After her initial rejection, Venky gets her to reciprocate his feelings. Meanwhile, Babji (Sampath Raj) arrives in Hyderabad to reach Sippy (Brahmanandam), the driver who helped Venky kidnap Neetu. Babji, unaware of the fact that he is traveling in Sippy's taxi, goes around Hyderabad with a rising television actor named Boiling star Bablu (Prudhviraj).

Meanwhile, Keshava Reddy (Mukesh Rishi) is an MLA, who is behind Chandrakala's life attacks her, through which Venky discovers that Chandrakala is Babji's second sister and that he had sent her with Sathya to Hyderabad to maintain a low profile. Babji readies Chandrakala to marry Bharath. He also continues to search for whoever (Venky) abducted his sister. Using the help of Nano Shastri (Krishna Bhagavaan), Venky manages to get Babji and Chandrakala into his house. He also learns that the reason Kesava Reddy wants to kill Chandrakala is that his younger sister Vasanthi killed herself because she loved Babji although he did not reciprocate the same. He hires Hamsa Sippy (Hamsa Nandini), Sippy's wife, to act like his father, Meka Papa Rao (Chandra Mohan) aka Puppy's wife.

He tells Neetu to come back on the engagement day to act as if not married and Babji fixes the marriage of Neetu with Bharat, but they learn that Neetu is pregnant and so Bharat refuses to marry. Venky tells Babji that his brother (who is Neetu's husband and is acting as Venky's brother) will marry Neetu. Babji agrees to the wedding and, in turn, tells Chandrakala that she is to marry Bharat again. Through an attack incident, Venky learns that Bharat is Kesava Reddy's son. He tells Kesava Reddy that even Babji is aware of this fact and is planning to kill Bharat on a trip to Srisailam. Kesava Reddy ends up believing him and attacks Babji and the group on the way. He foolishly reveals to Babji that Bharat is his son and is aware that Babji will kill him.

When Kesava Reddy realizes his folly, he kidnaps Chandrakala and Bharat and escapes from the spot. Bablu who mistakes it to be a movie shoot stops Kesava Reddy on the way which gives Venky enough time to reach Kesava Reddy. In the end, Venky gets Babji to beat up Kesava Reddy and using his sympathy, which he had earlier used to get Babji and his sister together, he gets Babji to agree for his and Chandrakala's wedding as well.

title: Bakhtiyarpur–Tajpur Bridge

text:
The Bakhtiyarpur–Tajpur Bridge (), currently under construction, will span the river Ganges, connecting Bakhtiyarpur in Patna and Tajpur in Samastipur in the Indian state of Bihar. Upon completion in Dec 2023, the bridge will provide an easy roadway link between the northern and southern parts of Bihar.

The project
Current chief minister Shri Nitish Kumar laid the foundation stone for construction of the  bridge in June, 2011. Upon completion in Dec 2023, the bridge will reduce the load on Mahatma Gandhi Setu and also reduce the traffic in the capital city of Patna.

A road bridge parallel to the existing rail and road  bridge, Rajendra Setu, has also been planned.

The bridge will also require construction of 45.393 km of approach roads on both ends of the bridge.

The total cost of the project is estimated at Rs 1602.74 crore, out of which Rs 100 crores will be spent on acquiring land. At first, Rs 917.74 crore is to be invested by Navayuga Engineering Company Limited (NECL) as a viability gap fund on a PPP basis. Rs 277.50 crore is to be invested by the Centre, and Rs 307.50 crore by the state government. The Bihar government would also bear the cost of acquiring land. NECL, a Hyderabad-based firm, was selected through competitive bidding.

Project is delayed and work is on halt for last few years.

title: Dominic D'Souza

text:
Dominic D'Souza was an Indian AIDS activist. His life was the basis of the film My Brother…Nikhil (directed by Onir) and the novel The Lost Flamingoes of Bombay by Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi. D'Souza was a frequent blood donor and a worker at the World Wildlife Fund. In 1989, after mandatory blood testing under The Goa, Daman and Diu Public Health Act, 1985, he was found to have contracted HIV, making him Goa's patient zero for the virus. Upon learning he was infected, authorities forcibly quarantined him, keeping him isolated in a tuberculosis ward for 64 days. He legally fought against the quarantine and, following his release, resigned his position at the World Wildlife Fund. Together with his friend Isabel de Santa Rita Vas, he founded the HIV/AIDS non-governmental organization Positive People in April 1992. D'Souza died in a Mumbai hospital in May 1992, a month after registering the new organization.

Early life
Dominic D'Souza was born in British Colonial Africa. He returned to his ancestral home in Parra, Goa when he was still fairly young. There he lived with his mother, his aunt, and some of his siblings. The D'Souza's were practicing Goan Catholics.

As a young man he was one of the first actors to participate in the Mustard Seed Art Company, Goa's most notable English-language theater, founded by Isabel de Santa Rita Vas. He performed in the company's first two shows.

Imprisonment and court case
On the morning of February 14, 1989, Dominic was taken from his Parra home which he shared with his mother and aunt by a local police officer who asked him to accompany him to the police station in Mapusa, Goa. Upon arrival to the police station, Dominic was escorted to the local Asilo Hospital in a police van with no indication why he was there. He was familiar with the Asilo Hospital, being a frequent blood donor. He was placed in a room and interrogated about his health. Dominic tried to learn why he was being detained, but none of the doctors would answer his questions. From the room, he caught a glimpse of a doctor recording his name in a register labeled 'AIDS' and this was how he learned of his diagnosis.

The police handcuffed him and escorted him to an abandoned tuberculosis sanitorium in Corlim, Goa. He was locked inside with armed guards standing at attention just outside the doors. He spent 64 days in quarantine. While he was isolated, his mother Lucy D'Souza filed a writ petition in the Panaji bench of the Bombay High Court, which presided over Goa even though Bombay was a part of Maharashtra. She and the legal team led by Anand Grover argued that Section 53 of the Goa Public Health Act—a section added in the 1987 amendment to specify restrictions and provisions regarding AIDS—violated articles 14, 19, 21, and 226 of the Indian Constitution, as well as the government-endorsed World Health Organization guidelines. Though the case dragged on for months, the court issued an interim order in mid-April releasing Dominic from the sanitorium and confining him instead to house arrest at his home in Parra.

The court came to a decision in December 1989, ruling against Dominic. The court re-inforced the power of the legislature to make such laws at their own discretion. Dominic was released from house arrest that December.

Activism
After being released from house arrest, Dominic was fired from his job at the World Wildlife Fund, and went to work for Norma Alvares, a woman who had contributed to his court case and had much experience with NGOs. He became involved in the global community of people living with AIDS. After attending several conferences in Europe about AIDS, he decided to start his own organization in 1992.

Positive People was registered in May 1992, only weeks before his death. He worked passionately on creating counseling for those who had HIV and those who were at risk for contracting it. He organized awareness campaigns at local schools and colleges.

The organization continues to be the largest of its kind in Goa. Positive People still advocates for people living with AIDS today.

The 31 January 1971 Surgut Aeroflot Antonov An-12 crash occurred on 31 January 1971, when an Aeroflot Antonov An-12B, aircraft registration CCCP-12996, flying from Roshchino International Airport, Tyumen, in the Soviet Unions Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (RSFSR), crashed  short of the runway on approach to Surgut International Airport, Surgut, RSFSR. An investigation found the aircraft's loss of control was caused by icing.

Aircraft
The aircraft involved in the incident was an Antonov AN-12B with the aircraft registration number 12996 (Factory number - 00347403, a serial number giving some basic information about the aircraft: 00 for the last digit of the year of manufacture - 1970, 34 for the factory of origin - the Tashkent aviation factory, 74 for the production batch and 03 for the individual aircraft within that batch), this aircraft left the production line of the V. P. Chkalov Tashkent aviation production association on the 31st of August 1970 and handed over to the main directorate of the civil air fleet (the governmental organ tasked with overseeing aviation throughout the soviet union), which then sent the aircraft to the 2nd Tuman aviation department of the territorial directorate of the civil air fleet. At the time of the crash the aircraft had completed a total of 391 flying hours.

Accident
CCCP-12996 was sent to transport goods from Tyumen to Surgut, the aircraft's load consisted of 12 metric tons of fresh seafood; Pacific herring packed in boxes. The aircraft was piloted by a crew from the 259th flying squadron, consisting of:
Captain - Konstantin Ivanovich Adamovich
Second officer - Viktor Pavlovich Ponomarov
Navigator - Nikolai Mikhailovich Evlantev
Flight mechanic - Yuri Aleksandrovich Isakov
Radio operator - Anatoli Sergeyevich Andreyev
Steward - Yevgeniy Vasilevich Trifonov
Also on board was a loadmaster.
At 01:25 Moscow time the airliner took off from Tyumen airport and, after gaining height, occupied a flight level of .

At Surgut the sky was fully covered by layered cloud down to an altitude of , a fresh breeze was blowing from the South-South-West, visibility was , the air temperature was . At 02:30 Moscow time and  from their destination, the crew made radio contact with the radar controller at Surgut airport and received a weather report. When the AN-12 was  away from Surgut the radar controller gave permission for the aircraft to descend to an altitude of . Having achieved this new altitude and now at a distance of  from the airfield, the crew transferred communication to the approach controller who gave permission to descend to an altitude of . Whilst descending to this new altitude the crew switched over to the landing controller and at 02:34:30 reported reaching an altitude of . In response the landing controller informed them that the landing would be at 180° and that the airfield pressure altitude was 766 millimetres of mercury. At this point the crew began to descend to the altitude of the airfield traffic pattern.

Passing through an altitude of , the crew reported strong icing conditions and a minute later very strong icing conditions. The transcript of the crew's communications with the ground controllers records that the aircraft's de-icing system was switched on. At 02:37:12 the crew reported that they had descended to an altitude of , a couple of minutes later at 02:39:35 the crew began the third turn (to the left) of the airfield traffic pattern at an altitude of . 10-15 seconds before completing this turn the aircraft began to behave abnormally and at 02:40:25 someone in the cabin said "the engines are starting to shake". In this case it is highly likely that this shaking was caused by a condition close to flow separation on the wing of the aircraft. When the third turn was completed at 02:40:39, the captain gave the order to set the flaps to 15°, but 5 seconds later he was forced to give the command to return them to their previous position since the crew had noticed that the speed of the aircraft had dropped from  to , despite an increase in engine thrust.

When the AN-12 had exited the left turn, a few seconds later the aircraft again independently entered a slight left turn. The crew countered the left turn with a small steering input to the right, but were quickly forced to steer to the left and then back to the right again since the aircraft had begun to roll from side to side causing a decrease in lift and causing the aircraft to fall. At this point the aircraft was experiencing a force of 1.8 - 1.9g, at 02:41:04 Moscow time (04:41:04 local time) at a speed of  and at a severe left hand tilt, the AN-12 crashed into the ground  North of Surgut airport, close to one of the lakes in the area, the aircraft was completely destroyed and burst into flames. Part of the wreckage including the tail section fell into the lake. All 7 people on board were killed.

Causes

The commission that investigated the accident concluded that:

Aftermath
In the span of 9 days (22nd and 31st of January 1971) two AN-12 aircraft crashed at Surgut, CCCP-11000 and CCCP-12996. Both crashes occurred under similar circumstances, whilst carrying out the third turn of their landing circuit both aircraft suffered spontaneous rolls due to flow separation on the wing caused by a drop in aerodynamics because of icing, which in turn was caused by ineffective de-icing systems since the hot air intake valve from the engine was not fully open. In order to prevent further catastrophes of the same nature significant improvements were made to the air bleed control systems including an indicator to show the fully open position of the valves. Special tests were also carried out, the results of which helped to clarify the aerodynamic characteristics of the AN-12 during icing. It also lead to changes in many civil aviation governing documents.

title: Pittsburgh–Syracuse football rivalry

text:
The Pittsburgh–Syracuse football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Pittsburgh Panthers and Syracuse Orange. It began in 1916 and has been played every year since 1955. The Panthers and Orange were both Eastern football independents for most of their history but have shared the same football conference since 1991 when the Big East Football Conference was formed from Eastern football independents. Pitt is the most played opponent for Syracuse and Syracuse is the third most played opponent for Pitt. Sharing membership in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) since 2013, the Panthers and Orange are designated cross-divisional opponents. Beginning in 2023, the ACC eliminated the Atlantic and Coastal divisions, going to one division. The Panthers and Orange were designated primary opponents, ensuring they will meet annually. They have played a total of 78 times, with Pittsburgh leading the series 43–31–3.

History

Series record
From 1916–56, Pittsburgh led 8–2–2, but Syracuse went 11–5 to tie the series up. Pittsburgh then went on an 11-year winning streak from 1973–83. However, Syracuse went 16–1–1 from 1984–2001 to take the series lead (29–25–3). Pittsburgh has gone 18–2 since to retake the lead.

Big East Conference (1991–2012)
Syracuse was a charter member of the Big East Conference, founded as a basketball prioritized conference in 1979 that did not sponsor football. Pitt joined Syracuse as a member of the Big East Conference in 1982. Both Pitt and Syracuse moved their football teams, both playing as Independents, into the Big East Football Conference in 1991 when they and other football-playing members of the Big East, along with additional Eastern independent teams, decided to form a football conference under the auspices of the existing Big East Conference.

Since 1991, Pittsburgh and Syracuse have played twenty-two times while in the Big East until trouble started to rumble through the conference starting in 2005 with the "football" and "non-football" schools of the conference, led to instability in the conference. Several schools left the conference for the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Big East became more unstable starting in 2011 when Pittsburgh and Syracuse submitted formal applications to join the ACC, which were accepted on September 18, 2011.

Atlantic Coast Conference (2013–present)
Pittsburgh and Syracuse officially joined the ACC on July 1, 2013.

Pittsburgh is placed in the Coastal division of the ACC and Syracuse is in the Atlantic division. The teams of the ACC have a permanent inter-divisional opponent, where a team from the Atlantic and Coastal divisions will play annually which was added for traditional rivalries like the North Carolina–NC State football rivalry to continue annually despite not being in the same division. When Pittsburgh and Syracuse joined the conference they were made each other's permanent inter-divisional opponent.

title: Volkswagen T-Roc

text:
The Volkswagen T-Roc is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) manufactured by German automaker Volkswagen. It was unveiled at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, and launched in November 2017. It is based on the Volkswagen Group MQB A1 platform, and generally has been considered as the SUV equivalent of the C-segment Golf. It is positioned between the Tiguan and the slightly smaller T-Cross, while being approximately the same size as the Taigo.

Overview
The T-Roc was previewed as a concept car with the same name at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. It features an all-wheel drive drivetrain.

The production version of the T-Roc for the European market was launched in Italy on 23 August 2017 as Volkswagen's fourth SUV in the European market. It is the first Volkswagen SUV to sit in the B-SUV segment. The T-Roc is based on the MQB A1 platform and is closely related with the Volkswagen Golf Mk7, SEAT León Mk3, Audi A3 Mk3, and the Škoda Octavia Mk3. It is equipped with a MacPherson strut front suspension and, depending on the engine and drive system, either a torsion beam or multi-link rear suspension in combination with optional adaptive dampers.

European market units are assembled at Volkswagen Autoeuropa plant in Palmela, Setúbal, Portugal. Chinese market cars are assembled by FAW-Volkswagen joint-venture plant in Foshan, Guangdong.

The T-Roc was showcased in India at the 2020 Auto Expo, and was launched in the country as a limited imported model in March 2020.

China

Previewed earlier as the Volkswagen T-Rocstar concept, the T-Roc was unveiled to the Chinese market on 23 March 2018 and went on sale on 30 July 2018. The Chinese version of the T-Roc is larger than the European one, having the wheelbase longer by 90 mm, length by 84 mm, and its height taller by 9 mm. It is equipped with two 1.4-litre TSI engine options with either  or , and an entry-level 1.2-litre TSI engine producing . The powertrains are mated with the 5-speed manual transmission, the DQ200 7-speed dry dual clutch transmission for two wheel-drive versions and the DQ381 7-speed wet dual clutch transmission for all-wheel-drive versions.

Facelift
The T-Roc facelift was unveiled in November 2021.

The T-Roc for the Chinese market received another facelift in April 2023. The 2023 model year is equipped with the EA211 1.4 liter TSI engine producing 150hp and 250N·m mated to a DQ200 7speed dual clutch transmission. A 1.5 liter turbo Evo2 engine is also available producing 118kW.

T-Roc R
A high performance version of the T-Roc was launched as the T-Roc R in February 2019. It shared the same 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with the Golf R, making  and . It is offered with 4Motion all-wheel-drive carried over from the Golf R as standard. With a new suspension setup, it is also  lower than the standard car. It also comes with extra kit, including Akrapovič quad-exhausts and interior upgrades.

Cabriolet (AC7)
The T-Roc Cabriolet was launched in Germany in April 2020 as VW's first convertible model in two years. Despite being based on the standard SUV model, the model does not share many body panels with the standard T-Roc, since every sheet metal behind the front wheel arches is new, and it features a longer wheelbase. It loses two rear side doors and the B-pillar in order to make the folding fabric hood possible. To deal with the loss of rigidity caused by the absent roof and B-pillar, the chassis has been strengthened with new crossbeams, and the A-pillar has been reinforced.

The roof mechanism is hidden behind the bodywork next to the rear seats, which meant the rear seat can only accommodate two passengers. Instead of a wide-opening tailgate, the boot is accessed by a smaller gap. The boot is smaller with only 284 litres available, a reduction of 161 litres over the standard version. The fabric roof can be opened or closed at speeds of up to , taking only nine seconds to retract at the press of a button and 11 seconds to raise it. The mechanism for the roof is shared with the discontinued Golf Cabriolet, and the soft top canvas is only available in black.

VW narrowed down the engine range of the wider T-Roc crossover line-up to just two petrol engine options for the cabriolet, 1.0-litre three-cylinder unit, developing  and a 1.5-litre four-cylinder unit producing . It is only offered in just two trim levels, which are Design and R-Line. This variant is assembled in Volkswagen plant in Osnabrück, Germany as the plant is a specialist in terms of designing and manufacturing convertible models.

It was reported that Volkswagen brand CEO Herbert Diess was dismissive and derisive of the idea of a convertible SUV, believing any vehicle in the segment will not be successful just months before announcing the T-Roc Cabriolet.

Edition Grey
Unveiled in December 2022, the T-Roc Cabriolet 'Edition Grey' features a matte body color alongside the R-Line body kit and black accents on the exterior and interior. The first deliveries started in February 2023 in Germany.

Powertrain
In Europe, there are a variety of turbocharged petrol and diesel engines offered. For petrol engines, there are 1.0-litre TSI  turbo, 1.5-litre TSI Evo  with cylinder deactivation, the 2.0-litre TSI  petrol and the range-topping 2.0-litre TSI  for the T-Roc R. All petrol engines come with a 6-speed manual except the 2.0-litre TSI, which has a 7-speed DSG transmission, while it is available as an option with the 1.5-litre TSI Evo engine. 4Motion four-wheel drive is also standard with the 2.0-litre TSI. Diesel engines available are the 1.6 TDI  with a 6-speed manual or 2.0-litre TDI  with a 7-speed DSG transmission.

title: Vrouwenheide

text:
The Vrouwenheide (Women's heath) is a hill in the Netherlands and former heath land, just south of Ubachsberg in the municipality of Voerendaal. With a height of 218 metres above NAP it is one of the highest points in the European part of the Netherlands.

Geology
The area is made up out of inliers and outliers. The Vrouwenheide is the highest point of the plateau of Ubachsberg. Between 1 and 2 million years ago it was part of the island of Ubachsberg in the Meuse river.

With a height of 218 metres above NAP it is one of the highest point in the European part of the Netherlands. It was long believed that this was in fact the highest point in the Netherlands, because from the top you can see over the top of the Vaalserberg, to see the even higher hills from the German Eifel.

Buildings
On the Vrouwenheide are several national monuments. Windmill Op de Vrouweheide, built in 1858, is located at 216 meters above Amsterdam Ordnance Datum, and built on an artificial hill to catch even more wind. As such it is the highest windmill in the Netherlands. The Bernardushoeve is a farmhouse built in the early 19th century and currently a restaurant. In the forest on the Vrouwenheide the remains of an old watchtower can be found.

Activities
The Vrouwenheide has a lot of walking routes and biking routes pass through and is also home to a farmer's golf course. The Vrouwenheide is part of the Mergellandroute, a tourist route for cars and bikes through South Limburg, Netherlands, mapped out by the ANWB. Due to the hills, the Vrouwenheide and surrounding areas are part of the Amstel Gold Race, a road bicycle race. As such it was also part of the 2006 Tour de France (stage 3).

title: Qatar Islamic Bank

text:
Qatar Islamic Bank (Q.P.S.C.) was established in 1982 as the first Islamic financial institution in Qatar. Its products and operations are supervised by a Shari’a board, which ensures that the bank adheres to Islamic banking and finance principles. It is the country's largest Shari’a-compliant lender.

As of 2019, QIB was the largest Islamic bank in Qatar, with a 43% share of the Islamic sector and an 11% share of the banking market overall. It has over 170,000 retail clients and more than 3,000 corporate clients. It conducts its domestic business through 31 branches spread throughout the country, in addition to private centers for ladies and dedicated lounges for affluent customers, augmented by more than 175 multi-function ATM installations.

History and acquisitions
In 1982, QIB was established with a paid-up capital of QR 25 million. It opened its first branch for customers in July 1983.

In 1989, Al Jazeera Finance was established, with 30% ownership by QIB. By 1996, QIB’s paid-up capital had increased to QR 200 million, and in 1998, it was listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange. 2000 saw the establishment of Aqar, 49% owned by QIB. Arab Finance House, 37% owned by QIB, was established in Beirut in 2003. By 2005, the number of QIB’s branches stood at eight, and its paid-up capital had increased to QR 663 million.

2005 also saw the establishment of Asian Finance Bank (41.67% owned by QIB), and the following year QIB’s paid-up capital increased to QR 1.19 billion.

QInvest was established in 2007 (50.13% owned by QIB), QIB-UK was set up in 2008 (a wholly owned subsidiary), and in 2009, BEEMA was established, with 25% owned by QIB.

In February 2018, QIB sold its full 60% stake in the Asian Finance Bank (AFB) to Malaysian Building Society Bhd (MBSB).

In March 2019, QIB successfully priced a US$ 750 million 5-year Sukuk at par with a profit rate of 3.982% (equivalent to a credit spread of 150bps over US$ Mid-Swaps). The Sukuk was met with strong investor demand, as evidenced by the large orderbook, which closed at US$3.1 billion, representing an oversubscription rate of 4.1 times. In terms of geography, 46% of the Sukuk was allocated to Asian investors, followed by Middle Eastern accounts (23%), Europe (21%), and US/Other (10%). In total, non-Middle Eastern investors were allocated 77% of the Sukuk, which is a remarkable outcome and one of the highest international allocations achieved by any bank from the region. 60% of the investors were fund managers, 26% were banks and private banks, and 14% were insurance companies and agencies. More than 140 investors from 28 countries spanning Europe, Asia, the USA, and the Middle East participated in the Sukuk.

In 2019, the Bank achieved a net profit of QAR 3,055.4 Million, representing a growth of 10.9% for the same period in 2018. The total assets of the Bank have increased by 6.7% compared to December 2018 and now stand at QAR 163.5 Billion. Financing activities have reached QAR 113.8 Billion and have grown by 11.3% compared to December 2018. Customer Deposits at the Bank now stand at QAR 111.6 billion, registering a strong growth of 11% compared to December 2018. Total Income for the year ended December 31, 2019 amounted to QAR 7,738.2 Million, registering 12.4% growth compared to 2018, reflecting a healthy growth in the Bank’s core operating activities.

In November 2019, Fitch Ratings affirmed Qatar Islamic Bank at 'A' with a Stable outlook. Also, in December 2019, Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") affirmed the Long-term deposit ratings of QIB at "A1" with a Stable outlook. In May 2019, Capital Intelligence Ratings (CI) affirmed the bank’s Long-term Currency Rating (LTCR) of ‘A+’ with a Stable outlook. In March 2019, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) affirmed the bank’s credit rating at ‘A-’ with a Stable outlook.

Major share holders
The Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) is the single largest shareholder of QIB. The balance of QIB’s shareholders comprises other Qatari individuals, families, and institutions, and QIB’s shares are listed on the Qatar Exchange.

Volzing is a now illegal technique in the pole vault once popularized by its namesake, American David Volz.  For a period of time during his career, until rules were written to outlaw it, Volz and later others who learned the technique, would be able to steady the bar, or even replace the bar back to its pegs after they had dislodged it all while still in mid air.  It was outlawed by USATF Rule 183 5d;  IAAF Rule 183 2d;  NCAA 6-2b;  NFHS Rule 7-5-29g

title: 1945–46 Landesliga Bayern

text:
The 1945–46 season of the Landesliga Bayern, the second highest association football league of the German football league system in Bavaria at the time, was the inaugural season of the league. The first season of the league marked the restart of league football in Bavaria after the end of the Second World War.

History
At the end of the Second World War most of Bavaria was occupied by the US Army and administrated by the Office of Military Government. Within the US occupation zone all football competitions, clubs and matches had to be approved by the Military Government. In late 1945 the Military Government permitted the formation of the Oberliga Süd as the new first division of football within the US occupation zone. Of the Bavarian clubs, 1. FC Nürnberg, TSV 1860 Munich, FC Bayern Munich, TSV Schwaben Augsburg, BC Augsburg, FC Schweinfurt 05 and SpVgg Fürth joined this league. The participation of the Bavarian clubs in the Oberliga rather than a regional Bavarian competition lead to initial conflict between those clubs and the organisation that would later become the Bavarian Football Association.

Below this, the new Landesliga Bayern was established as the second tier with nine clubs in the league, with the clubs selected through their performance in the Gauliga Bayern which became defunct in 1945. The league officially began operating in the spring of 1946 and, like all regional leagues in Bavaria in that season, were seen as a qualifying competition for a more organised season in 1946–47. 1. FC Bamberg became the first champion of this league which was operated under the very difficult post-war circumstances. Bamberg earned promotion to the Oberliga while no club was relegated from this league to the Landesliga Bayern. The league was expanded from a single division of nine clubs to two divisions of eleven clubs each. Therefore, no club was relegated from the Landesliga. From the 1948–48 season the league became known as the Bayernliga, the name it carries today.

1945–46 Standings
Of the nine clubs taking part in the inaugural season of the league 1. FC Bamberg had played in the Gauliga Oberfranken in the heavily disrupted and incomplete 1944–45 season, FC Eintracht Nürnberg had played in the Gauliga Mittelfranken, Jahn Regensburg in the Gauliga Oberpfalz/Niederbayern and Bajuwaren München and Wacker München in the Gauliga München/Oberbayern. Of the other clubs VfR Schweinfurt and Kickers Würzburg had played in the Gauliga Nordbayern in 1943–44, VfB Ingolstadt-Ringsee in the Gauliga Südbayern while ASV Nürnberg had not played in the Gauliga since 1937.

title: Jesper Rask

text:
Jesper Rask (born 18 July 1988) is a Danish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Career
Rask made his senior debut for AGF 29 October 2008 in a Danish Cup round of 16 match against OB, after then starting goalkeeper Steffen Rasmussen fell out with a hand injury prior to the game, and second goalkeeper Morten Hyldgaard was sidelined in the 80th minute with a thigh injury. Rask thus became the third AGF goalkeeper to make his debut against OB in recent times, when Steffen Rasmussen and Erik Boye also started their careers in AGF with a match against OB.

Rask moved to Hobro IK in 2010, after his contract with AGF expired. In the 2013–14 season, he was part of a Hobro-team which secured promotion to the Danish Superliga, four years after having promoted from the third tier 2nd Division. Hobro's successful season came as a surprise, as it had barely secured survival in the second tier the season before. On 2 May 2014, shortly before promotion was a fact, he had extended his contract until the summer of 2016.

On 6 March 2020, Rask announced his retirement from football after the 2019–20 season, following a 10-year tenure at Hobro.

title: Elysian Shadows

text:
Elysian Shadows is an upcoming multiplatform indie 2D role-playing video game in development by GyroVorbis. The game is set to be published by WaterMelon, which previously developed and published the Sega Genesis title Pier Solar and the Great Architects in 2010. The development of Elysian Shadows has been chronicled in a YouTube series titled Adventures in Game Development. Elysian Shadows has been marketed as a "next-gen 2D role-playing game" (RPG) due to its hybrid 2D/3D graphical style.

Elysian Shadows is being developed for the Dreamcast, as well as the Ouya, iOS, Android, Windows, OS X, and Linux platforms. The game received a successful round of crowdfunding via Kickstarter in August 2014.

Gameplay
Elysian Shadows fuses traditional elements of 2D games with dynamic 2D and 3D perspectives, positional and dynamic audio, rigid body physics, particle simulators, and other modern 3D rendering techniques. This gameplay is intended as a re-invention of the 2D style used in 16-bit RPGs. Planned features for the game, in addition to its hybrid 2D/3D camera and gameplay, include: advanced fluid dynamics, weather and a day/night system, customizable characters with in-depth class/job system, and a cross-platform save system. VMU mini games have also been added to the game.

Story
Elysian Shadows takes place in a world caught in constant conflict between magic and technology. The gift of magic is bestowed upon loyal followers of The Creator, while the nonreligious sects of society are forced to rely upon technological advances in their daily lives. Upon uncovering a mysterious artifact deep within one of the ancient ruins scattered throughout the land, Julien and friends find themselves thrust into the middle of this mounting conflict, and they must now solve the mystery of the ancient civilizations to prevent the destruction of their own.

Development
Since October 2007, the development of Elysian Shadows has been chronicled in the YouTube web series Adventures in Game Development however Falco Girgis' earliest post on the development forums was in 2004, leading to uncertainty as to when exactly development on the game began. The early years of development were spent on designing original technology and development tools. These tools were simultaneously developed for OS X and Windows. They were later designed to target a host of platforms including Android and Linux, which enabled the developers to design the game without worrying about porting. The team has gone through a large number of member changes, however lead programmer Falco Girgis and lead artist Patryk Kowalik have remained constant since Falco founded the project and Patryk joined.

In May 2014, it was announced that WaterMelon Co., developer of Pier Solar and the Great Architects, offered a publishing deal to the Elysian Shadows Team for the Dreamcast platform. In June, lead developer Falco Girgis tendered his resignation at ADTRAN, where he was a software engineer, to work full-time on Elysian Shadows. On June 19, Girgis and co-founder Tyler Rogers were invited to give a presentation of Elysian Shadows at their alumni university, University of Alabama in Huntsville.

On 1 August 2014, the development team launched their Kickstarter campaign with a goal of $150,000 and stretch goals that went up to $750,000. In less than 24 hours, the project had attained $30,000 of its target and a couple of days later it had successfully raised over $75,000. On 20 August, Elysian Shadows received national coverage by WHNT News as they interviewed the team and ran a story on Girgis and Rogers quitting their jobs to develop the game. Less than 24 hours later, the game was successfully funded and in the process set a record for the Ouya's Free the Games Fund as well as for the most money raised in Alabama through Kickstarter. In August 2014, the game received notable press coverage internationally coverage from Asia and Europe, most notably from Russia and Germany respectively.

The project received a great deal of criticism when Girgis created the Misadventures in Kickstarter crowdfunding series, in which he complained of hardships during the project's development. The video's description and Girgis's later commentary suggest it was satire.

In 2016, Girgis stated that progress on the game was going well in a post that describes setbacks caused by a former team member. He has also posted news about ElysianVMU, an emulator for the Dreamcast's Visual Memory Unit, allowing non-Dreamcast players to access VMU content on their PCs, smartphones, and other devices.

title: 1996–97 Celtic F.C. season

text:
The 1996-97 season was the 108th season of competitive football by Celtic.

Pre-season and friendlies

Season Summary
Once again, the season saw a very close title race between the two Old Firm teams. Celtic consistently remained second, only topping the table for a few days at the start of November, but stayed hot on the heels of Rangers, usually only being a couple of points behind them, and sometimes only by goal difference. However, points dropped on consecutive weekends in late November and early December saw the gap increase. Both sides endured turbulent runs of form in March, the pressure of the "Nine In A Row" - one seeking to achieve it, the other stopping it - telling. Following a 1-0 victory at Celtic Park during the final meeting of the two that season Rangers pulled decisively ahead in the title race, and this led to the dismissal of manager Tommy Burns three games before the end of the season.

title: James Robenalt

text:
James David Robenalt (born 1956) is a Cleveland-based lawyer for the firm Thompson Hine LLP. He is the author of four books: Linking Rings, William W. Durbin, the Magic and Mystery of America (2004), The Harding Affair: Love and Espionage During the Great War (2009), January 1973, Watergate, Roe v. Wade, Vietnam, and the Month that Changed America Forever (2015), and Ballots and Bullets: Black Power Politics and Urban Guerrilla Warfare in 1968 Cleveland (2018).

Robenhalt helped former Secret Service agent Paul Landis "process his memories" of the JFK Assassination, enabling Landis to write his memoir The Final Witness (2023).

Early life and education

James (Jim) Robenalt was born in Lima, Ohio, in 1956. His mother was involved in education and local politics, while his father was a lawyer.  Robenalt attended Miami University where he majored in political science. During his time at MU, he spent one semester in a study abroad program in Luxembourg. In 1978 he graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa.  Robenalt, like his father before him, went to Ohio State University College of Law and graduated in 1981. At the time of his graduation, he was Order of the Coif.

Law career

When Robenalt graduated from Ohio State in 1981, he took a job with Thompson, Hine and Flory. The firm is now known as Thompson Hine LLP. In 1989 he was made partner.  The Chambers USA Guide to America's Leading Business Lawyers named Robenalt as one of America's leading lawyers.  He focuses on legal issues related to construction, professional malpractice and tax.

Robenalt won large verdicts for several clients. He won an $81 million jury verdict for Avery Dennison, whom he began to represent in 1997, on an international espionage case.  The case drew international attention since it was the first prosecution under the Economic Espionage Act of 1996.

He also won a $68 million arbitration award for Atlanta-based Solvay Pharmaceuticals on a dispute about drug co-promotion agreements.

Robenalt has also been a member of the Court of Nisi Prius, a Cleveland lawyers' humor society that produces an annual show of skits and songs lampooning the local, state, and national political scenes. Robenalt has been both a "Serjeant" and the "Judge" of that society and plays guitar and sings in many of the shows.

Watergate CLE

Together with John W. Dean, President Richard Nixon's White House Counsel, Robenalt created a continuing education program on the national level called "The Watergate CLE."  This continuing legal education program, which was launched in Chicago in June 2011, has Robenalt teaching legal ethics and the representation of an organization under new Model Rules 1.13 and 1.6. John Dean plays the role of a fact witness while Watergate is used as a case study.

Books

In June 2004 Robenalt, with the Kent State University Press, published Linking Rings, William W. Durbin, the Magic and Mystery of America.  The book is a biography of Robenalt's great-grandfather, W.W. Durbin, head of the Ohio Democratic Party during the era of William Jennings Bryan's campaign in 1896 until the second term of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Robenalt published The Harding Affair: Love and Espionage During the Great War in 2009 under the Palgrave Macmillan Trade publishing company.  Robenalt wrote the book using bootleg microfilm copies of letters written by President Harding to his long-time mistress, Carrie Fulton Phillips. The thesis of the book is the possibility that Phillips may have been a German spy.

Robenalt's third book, January 1973, Watergate, Roe v. Wade, Vietnam, and the Month that Changed America Forever was published by the Chicago Review Press in May 2015.

Robenalt's fourth book, Ballots and Bullets: Black Power Politics and Urban Guerrilla Warfare in 1968 Cleveland was published by Lawrence Hill Books, an imprint of Chicago Review Press Incorporated in 2018.

Media

On July 26, 2014, Robenalt was interviewed on National Public Radio about Warren Harding's relationship with Carrie Fulton Phillips. During the interview NPR's Scott Simon discussed the love letters of Harding and Phillips, which were soon to be released for unhindered perusal by the public; and speculated about the possibility that Phillips was a German spy during World War I.

In July 2020, during the Trump administration and amid the COVID-19 pandemic, several months before the November presidential election, Robenalt argued that if Trump hadn't already left office and lost the election, Biden should promptly become president. He proposed a novel scenario for transfer of power (borrowing from President Woodrow Wilson's 1916 provisional resignation letter): “Trump would ask Pence to resign, appoint Biden as his VP, and then resign himself, allowing Biden to succeed to the presidency”.

title: Lu Xinjian

text:
Lu Xinjian (or Xinjian Lu) is a Chinese born contemporary artist known for producing paintings, sculpture, graphic art and design.

Life and work
Lu was born in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, China in 1977. He majored in computer graphic design and graduated from the Nanjing Arts Institute in 2000. He studied Interior and Industrial Design at the Postgraduate Department at the Design Academy Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in 2005 and received his MFA from the Interactive Media and Environment Department at the Frank Mohr Institute at Hanze University, The Netherlands in 2006. His exposure to Dutch artists of the Zero (art) and De Stijl movements and the museums while studying in The Netherlands influenced the visual aesthetic one can observe in his work today.

In 2009 he was introduced to the founder of ART LABOR Gallery, Shanghai, China and participated in two group shows with the gallery in 2010, including the "2nd Impressions" exhibition for the opening of their 2nd gallery space, featuring noted international artists such as Mustafa Hulusi, Mark Titchner and Suitman. He was also invited to participate in the 2nd Moscow International Biennale for Young Art by the respected Stella Art Foundation. These exhibitions were some of the first public exposures of his CITY DNA painting series.

Lu Xinjian's most well known series, City DNA, is "based on aerial photos sourced from Google Earth software." The artist "creates abstract paintings of major cities across the world in his series City DNA. What appears to be a mass of abstract shapes and colors, soon becomes a coherent view of the subject city, allowing the city's nuances and unique characteristics to shine through," states Juxtapoz. This series was first shown at ART LABOR Gallery, Shanghai in 2010, followed by Fabien Fryns Fine Art in Beijing and Los Angeles. Some pieces are in the White Rabbit Collection. One of his earlier and larger works, City DNA Shanghai No.3 (200x400cm) is in the DSL Collection.

In 2006 he won the Chaumont Studio Prize at the International Poster Festival in Chaumount, France. His works have been written about widely in Artforum (2011), DesignBoom, Beautiful Decay, Flavorwire, and Zilla Mag.

His work is presently on view in a solo exhibition "CITY DNA IV" at Hua Gallery, in London, England until October 2014. Lu Xinjian will launch a new series of paintings, "CITY STREAM" at ART LABOR Gallery, Shanghai, September 6, 2014. His latest artwork about living in Shanghai has been featured in Design Boom ree.

He currently lives and works in Shanghai.
