His death, caused by a heart attack, was confirmed by the Lithuanian Chess Federation 1962. Awarded the Soviet Master of Sport title for chess in 1981 he was one of many promising Soviet masters who started to travel all around Europe after the collapse of the Iron Curtain he earned the IM title in 1990. By that time he had already won the national championship twice in 1983 (shared with Eduardas Rozentalis) and 1986 He would later add three more national titles: 2001 (shared with Sarunas Sulskis) That was also the year when he made his debut for the Lithuanian Olympic team in Manila—the same Olympiad where Vladimir Kramnik made his famous Kveinys would play in eight Olympiads in total (1992 2006 and 2008) and scored 51.5/97. He has also represented Lithuania in five European Team Chess Championships There's a variation in the Sicilian named after Kveinys: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Qb6. The main idea is to chase the knight away from d4 and prevent Bc1-e3 for the moment Kveinys played this line between 1986 and 2002 and had a decent score with it: 16 wins 14 draws and 7 losses against an average rating of 2425 (It must be noted that the last three games were friendly draws with the move repetition 5.Nc3 Bc5 6.Na4 Qa5+ 7.Nc3 whereas 7.c3 would be a more fighting choice there.) he beat strong players such as Gata Kamsky Emil Sutovsky and Loek van Wely. The win over Shirov was a blitz game Sutovsky is another player who doesn't shy away from sharp complications and he was definitely winning at some point: Kveinys split the point with quite a few very strong grandmasters Alexei Shirov and Nigel Short. His draw with Gelfand from the 2008 Olympiad was very interesting: French and Latvian Team Championships and the Baltic zonal tournament in Liepaja Kveinys cheering behind trophies after winning the Icelandic Team Championship with his team Viking Club (and scoring 8/9 himself!) | Photo: Icelandic Chess Federation Kveinys was generally appreciated as a very social grandmaster who loved to analyze afterward and share a beer or two (or three) with the opponent It's not a secret that his appearance was as impressive as his love of alcoholic beverages Growing side by side as chess players, almost 50 (!) years of playing together and against each other and just a few months after the Fagernes tournament when we were flying back home and talking about future plans.. as a highly skilled coach and as a very friendly and nice person in so many countries My deepest condolences to his wife Vineta and whole family." Lithuania’s number one player but inactive now He was an indispensable figure in Lithuanian chess a Moldovian grandmaster of the same generation I have very positive memories about Aloyzas Every time we met he was bringing a good mood into the company a Russian grandmaster of the same generation so many games we played (surely more than 10) Firstly in the 1980s as Moscow students in the "Burevestnik" tournaments (he was a student of the Russian Sport University) later in Europe—GM round-robins in Bonn Bad Godesberg in the 1990s (where some players were his closest friends President of the Icelandic Chess Federation and organiser of the Reykjavik Open and other Icelandic events: “Aloyzas was of good friend of many Icelandic players His last visit was in March where he played in the GAMMA Reykjavik Open and the Icelandic Team Championship where he became champion with his team Viking Club scoring 8 points out of 9 games He was usually in a good mood and always smiling It was nice sitting down with after his games and drink with him one or two beers "Aloyzas was a very amicable and considerate person He had a great sense of humor and his stories would never end Once after a severe financial loss (team was on the verge of winning medal but ended up fourth and it could easily be a fortune for each player back at the time) at an international event (I do not share details for the sake of other Iranians) he kindly shared his bottle of Johnny Walker I was young and I could have with me and told me stories the entire time just to make me feel better Later that year he got me a sweet invitation to Keres Memorial rapid and blitz only I could not go due to some people at the federation Kveinys's popularity becomes clear from the sheer amount of reactions on social media to his passing I played him twice, met him so many times and shared quite a number of drinks with him. All in Reykjavik and Riga. A huge loss for the chess world. RIP Aloyzas https://t.co/uadfDNR2jV Aloyzas Kveinys was indeed a true gentlemen and a joy to be around. I shared many a beer with this gentle giant; normally in an Icelandic bar. 😢 His home from home. RIP 🍺🍻. pic.twitter.com/TW2bLj7cx8 Rest in Peace #AloyzasKveinys pic.twitter.com/9RiIz3bfT6 Estonian grandmaster Kaido Kulaots wrote on Facebook (full post here): "(...) If I was a tournament organizer I would have been enthusiastic to have Aloyzas participating at my tournaments he could have been seen playing in a number of opens in different countries but at the same time also fighting spirit to each of them So no wonder he was being warmly welcome back.As a chessplayer I was really fortunate to have a colleague like Aloyzas It was both for great company and things I learnt from him I was a teenager when I first met him over the chessboard I was impressed by the ease and also the strength of his decisions I was swept away in Sicilian by the mix of his tactical and positional weaponry Polish grandmaster Michal Krasenkow wrote on Facebook (full post here): "Another terrible news: GM Aloyzas Kveinys has died A great man whom I know since childhood and against whom I played the biggest number of tournament games among all chess players: in junior and students' tournaments in Polish team championships and other events (...) He was an excellent positional and endgame player Latvian-born American grandmaster Alexander Shabalov wrote on Facebook (full post here): "(...) Apart from winning the [Greensboro 2015] tournament he was the superstar of hospitality suite: consuming beverages cracking jokes and showing the endless puzzles that he was able to pull out from his head just like the illusionist who takes the bigger and bigger rabbit from his hat until everyone would give up but the American audience was completely swept away by the "Kveinys show" (...) There are people you know and there are people you know for 40+

swallow In the past there was no way of controlling the device as it passed through the body Now it can be steered and stopped where desired Images of the inside of the intestine can be obtained even today: The patient swallows a camera that is no larger than a candy It makes its way through the intestine and transmits images of the intestinal villi to an external receiver which the patient carries on a belt This device stores the data so that the physician can later analyze them and identify any hemorrhages or cysts the camera is not very suitable for examinations of the esophagus and the stomach The reason is that camera only takes about three or four seconds to make its way through the esophagus — producing two to four images per second — and once it reaches the stomach its roughly five-gram weight causes it to drop very quickly to the lower wall of the stomach For examinations of the esophagus and the stomach patients still have to swallow a rather thick endoscope In collaboration with engineers from the manufacturer Given Imaging the Israelite Hospital in Hamburg and the Royal Imperial College in London researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering in Sankt Ingbert have developed the first-ever control system for the camera pill doctors will be able to stop the camera in the esophagus and thus adjust the angle of the camera as required,” says IBMT team leader Dr “This allows them to make a precise examination of the junction between the esophagus and the stomach for if the cardiac sphincter is not functioning properly gastric acid comes up the esophagus and causes heartburn this may even cause cancer of the esophagus we can even scan the stomach walls.” But how do the researchers manage to steer the disposable camera inside the body “We have developed a magnetic device roughly the size of a bar of chocolate The doctor can hold it in his hand during the examination and move it up and down the patient's body The camera inside follows this motion precisely,” says Volke The steerable camera pill is constructed in much the same way as its predecessor: It consists of a camera a transmitter that sends the images to the receiver a battery and several cold-light diodes which briefly flare up like a flashlight every time a picture is taken One prototype of the camera pill has already passed its first practical test in the human body The researchers demonstrated in a self-experiment that the camera can be kept in the esophagus for about ten minutes Please enable JavaScript to view this page

German squad was founded in 2008 by Michael Zehe and Hans-Peter Naundorf The following year it began its association with the ROWE motor oil company a partnership that has endured for more than a decade.  the team made its Total 24 Hours of Spa debut in 2013 with a Mercedes-Benz SLS Its first full Endurance Cup campaign followed in 2015 and its #99 car led overall at six and 12 hours ROWE drivers Nico Bastian and Stef Dusseldorp ended the season sixth in the Endurance Cup standings while the team had given notice of its ability to perform at Spa which brought the chance to run a full-factory crew of Philipp Eng This crack driver line-up combined with ROWE's expertise to give the squad a memorable victory in the season's marquee race Two years later ROWE was on the podium again with Sims combining with fellow BMW men Nicky Catsburg and Jens Klingmann to take runner-up spot In 2019 the team switched to Porsche machinery and once again finished second at the 24 Hours confirming ROWE's ability to run at the front with a variety of machinery Though best known for its endurance racing prowess ROWE also contested the Sprint Cup in 2016 and 2017 In 2020 it fields one

is taking shape in the port of Ust Luga located at the mouth of the river Luga at the Baltic Sea The terminal will initially reachan annual handling capacity of four million tonnes This will rise  to 10 million tonnes per year following a subsequent extension of the plant The terminal owner is the company EST European Sulphur Terminal of St Petersburg and the materials handling equipment for the terminal is being supplied by the Materials Handling business unit of ThyssenKrupp Fördertechnik one of the world’s leading suppliers of advanced-technology materials handling equipment The sulphur will arrive in either closed or open railway wagons The closed wagons will be unloaded independently by opening the side wall flaps in a wagon dumper while the open cars will be lifted from the rail track and simultaneously emptied into a bunker by means of a side discharge dumper which turns the wagons upside down to release the material The side discharge dumper will be able to complete 22 unloading cycles per hour and will therefore reach an unloading capacity of 1,600 t/h whereas the unloading capacity for closed cars will be 1,000 t/h the material will be transported into a storage hall where it will be stacked in piles by an overhead tripper system running along the apex of the store the material will be reclaimed from the piles by a full portal scraper and transported by a   belt conveyor system to the loading quay at the port The reclaiming capacity of the full portal scraper and the belt conveyors will be 2,000 t/h a TKF shiploader with a capacity of 2,000 t/h will then load the bulk material (sulphur urea and other fertilizers) into 70,000 dwt ships Special requirements had to be taken into consideration when designing and configuring the shiploaders particularly with regard to environmental protection ThyssenKrupp Fördertechnik were able to use their many years of experience and knowledge of shiploader construction in order to implement the necessary measures and solutions which were required to achieve an environmentally friendly plant which could provide a basis for future development it is planned to double the equipment described above so that it will be possible to handle up to 10 million tonnes per year of bulk material This is the second time that ThyssenKrupp Fördertechnik have been able to convince a Russian client in the new Ust Luga port of their technical competence efficiency and performance and therefore be awarded the contract Notices are posted by 10 am Monday through Saturday Adjust Text Size: A+ A- It is with great sorrow we
