Ahmad Al Khatib is a Jordanian chess grandmaster.

Chess career
Al Khatib is the first Jordanian grandmaster. He was awarded the title in March 2023 after winning the Open section of the Arab Chess Championship. Players can become grandmasters by winning a Continental Chess Championship and having a rating above 2300, without having to earn the standard three grandmaster norms or having a rating above 2500. This is the manner by which Al Khatib earned his title.

In June 2023, Al Khatib participated in the 23rd Dubai Open Chess Tournament, where he drew against the higher-rated Sambit Panda in the seventh round.

Ponzi is a 2021 Nigerian comedy film based on the victims of the 2016 MMM Ponzi scheme. It was written by Toluwani Obayan, produced by Vincent Okonkwo and directed by Kayode Kasum. It stars Jide Kosoko, Chinyere Wilfred, Timini Egbuson, Tope Tedela, Broda Shaggi and Mr Macaroni. It was released theatrically on 12 March 2021.

Plot 
Abeke the omniscient narrator introduces the residents of a close. Chief Olaoba is a wealthy politician who neglects the needs of the community he represents. He however shows up occasionally to distribute money to his constituents. Bob returns from dispora and goes to the close and gains the trust of the occupants and convinces them to invest in a get-rich-quick scheme named Richvest. This leads to a series of unexpected events.

Cast 
Jide Kosoko as Olaoba, Abeke's father
Chinyere Wilfred as Mrs. Olaoba, Abeke's mother
Mawuli Gavor as Rob, a returnee
Timini Egbuson as Ikenna, a layabout who squats with his elder brother Uchenna.
Mr Macaroni as Uchenna, a lesson teacher

Amanda Dara as Oluchi
Uzoamaka Aniunoh as Abeke
Zubby Michael as Charles, a neighbourhood hustler and loan shark
Eso Dike as Ikenna 
Caroline Igben as Nike

Production and release 
The movie is based on the experiences of Nigerians during the 2016 MMM online scheme which promised 30% returns on investment. The scheme inadvertently crashed and put subscribers in distress. In an interview, the movie’s producer, said the project is aimed at sensitising Nigerians to avoid get-rich-quick schemes. It was shot in Lagos but set in Ota, Ogun State.

The movie voice technique was employed as Uzo Aniunoh was both an actress and a narrator. This technique has been used in movies like Fight Club and Memento.

Reception 
In a review for Nigerian Entertainment Today, Jerry Chiemeke wrote "The only way for the audience to enjoy this film is to close their eyes to its technical flaws – and they are many. They will probably laugh (a lot), but in the end, a good film transcends giggles, and when it comes down to categorising Nollywood films, this will not be one of the exactly memorable ones." He rated the film a 6/10.

Elections for Coventry City Council were held on Thursday, 3 May 2012, the same day as other 2012 local elections in the United Kingdom.  As the council is elected by thirds, one seat in each of the city's 18 wards was up for election. The Labour Party won the seat in 15 of the  wards, gaining a total of 8 and increasing their majority to 32 seats. The Conservative Party won the remaining three seats, losing six, with the Liberal Democrats and the Socialist Party both losing their only seat on the council.

The election coincided with a local referendum on whether to have an elected mayor.

Campaign
The Conservative party focused their efforts on retaining their existing seats, campaigning on issues like the closure of Sure Start centres, disruption caused by rebuilding the city centre, and an alternative budget proposal. Labour focused on their aim of protecting frontline services, rebuilding the city centre for the Olympics (Coventry hosted several football events), and fixing potholes. Liberal Democrat councillor Russell Field focused on his record in working for his ward. The Socialists supported an independent candidate in Foleshill who is campaigning against the planned closure of a local sports centre. They focused on "stiffening the resistance to coalition cuts to this city" and accused Labour of signing up to coalition austerity plans. The Greens focused on alternative plans for the city, including an insulation scheme for homes and instituting a Living Wage for council employees. UKIP was focussing on local issues.

Results
Voter turnout was 26%.

Council composition

The composition of the council before and after the election can be found in the following table:

Results by ward

Note: For all wards, the percentage change is calculated from the council local election in 2011 (the last time the ward was contested), whilst the gains, losses, and holds are calculated from 2008 (the last time these particular seats were contested).

Note for Bablake ward: Independent candidate John Gazey was the sitting councillor for the Conservative party. After being deselected he decided to run as an independent.

Phalaenopsis tsii is a species of orchid native to Southeast China. The specific epithet tsii honours Zhan-huo Tsi, who discovered Phalaenopsis subparishii. It has only been known from Mount Shunhuang in Hunan, China.

Description
The stems are 0.7-1.2 cm long and bear distichously arranges leaves of 7–10 cm in length and 2.4-3.3 cm in width. The inflorescences are 6–9.5 cm long and they produce flowers with greenish base colouration and brown spotting on the adaxial surface of the petals and sepals. The flowers are spurred, like all other members of the subgenus Hygrochilus. The spur is horn-shaped and 1.3-1.5 cm long. The androecium consists of four pollinia, which are arranged in two equal pairs. This is a characteristic shared by the very similar Phalaenopsis subparishii, from which it differs due to the smaller size, the larger white labellum in addition to the longer spur and column of Phalaenopsis tsii.

Ecology
This species if found growing epipytically on tree trunks in forests at elevations of 1200–1850 m.

Conservation
This species is protected unter the CITES appendix II regulations of international trade.
