Career

Playing career

Early career: Everton and Middlesbrough
Thornaby-born Parkinson started his career as a junior at Everton in 1985 before signing for Middlesbrough, who were then in the Second Division, on 17 January 1986, although they were relegated at the end of the season to the Third Division. Parkinson's first team debut came in the following season on 23 August 1986 in a 2–2 home draw against Port Vale which was played at Victoria Park, Hartlepool. With Middlesbrough on the verge of extinction, the official receiver had locked the club out of Ayresome Park. However, they went on to win promotion as runners-up under Bruce Rioch's management. In the 1987–88 Middlesbrough won a second promotion in two years, winning a promotion/relegation play-off against Chelsea after finishing in third place in the Second Division. Chelsea were then replaced by Middlesbrough in the First Division. The following season though he was relegated with Middlesbrough back to the Second Division. In the 1989–90 season he played in the Full Members Cup final (then known as the Zenith Data Systems Cup) as Middlesbrough lost 1–0 to Chelsea at Wembley. He was part of the team that won promotion again, finishing as Second Division runner-up in the 1991–92 season. The following season, he was a member of the Middlesbrough squad in the inaugural Premier League season as Middlesbrough once again lasted just one season in the top flight and were relegated.

In October 1992 he spent a short time on loan with Southend United who were then in the First Division. He made a total of 265 appearances in all competitions and scored eight league goals while at Middlesbrough.

Bolton Wanderers
Later that season, he followed former Middlesbrough manager Bruce Rioch, when on 2 March 1993 Rioch signed him on a free transfer for Bolton Wanderers, who were then in the Second Division, and who promoted at the end of the season. However, Parkinson made only three league appearances for them, with just one start after failing to displace the long serving Phil Brown. He was transfer listed by Rioch along with three other first team players in September 1993

Burnley
He signed for Second Division club Burnley the following season on 27 January 1994. Burnley were promoted to the First Division through the play-offs at the end of the season. They beat Stockport County in the play-off final at Wembley, with Parkinson scoring the crucial winning goal that sealed their promotion. Burnley were though relegated the following season. On 18 November 1995 in a 3–1 defeat against Shrewsbury Town at Gay Meadow Parkinson tore a hamstring and was out of action until the new year.

Preston North End
On the eve of the 1997–98 season he signed for Burnley's Lancashire rivals Preston North End for £50,000. He became a regular in the team, but 18 months later he injured his cruciate ligament and needed an operation which kept him out of action for twelve months. He had made just one league appearance in the 1998–99 season and missed Prestons promotion as Second Division champions in the 1999–2000 season. He returned to action the following seasons as the club played their first season back in the second tier of English football for the first time in twenty years under manager David Moyes, with a return to action coming in December 1999.

Blackpool
On 22 March 2001 he signed for Preston's West Lancashire rivals Blackpool, then playing in the Third Division, for a fee of £20,000. He made 24 league appearances for the Seasiders winning promotion to the Second Division through the play-offs in the 2000–01 season, the fifth promotion win of his career. He was released at the end of the 2001–02 season and went on to play part-time with Northern Premier League (NPL) club Stalybridge Celtic on 17 August 2002. However, his stay lasted just two weeks, playing in four matches before leaving on 30 August. He also played part-time with fellow NPL club Rossendale United, whom he signed for on 11 February 2003.

Coaching career
After retiring from playing football Parkinson studied for his UEFA coaching badges, and also worked for an organisation called SpeedMark, who employ ex-pro footballers to help schools raise money through football. Parkinson left SpeedMark in June 2006 to become the Head of the Youth Department at Blackpool, in charge of all youth team affairs. The youth team compete in the Football League Youth Alliance, North West Conference. In the 2007–08 season he won the Lancashire FA Youth Cup with Blackpool on 28 April 2008 when they beat Wigan Athletic 2–0 at Bloomfield Road.

Masters football
In June 2003 Parkinson played for Middlesbrough in the annual Northern Masters football tournament at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, scoring two goals. He appeared again for Middlesbrough in the 2004 Northern Masters.

Philip James Whelan (born 7 August 1972) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender.

He notably played in the Premier League for Ipswich Town and Middlesbrough as well as having spells in the Football League with Oxford, Rotherham and Southend. He was capped three times by the England U21 team.

Playing career
Born in Reddish in Stockport, Whelan began his career at Ipswich Town, signing professional terms with the club on 2 July 1990. He made his Ipswich debut in a Full Members Cup first round match against Bristol Rovers on 2 October 1991. He spent most of the 1991–92 season playing for the reserves in the Football Combination, not making his league debut until 4 April, when he scored the first goal in a 2–1 win at Southend United. He scored again in his second match for the first team three days later as Ipswich beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2–1 at Portman Road, although he never scored for the club again. He went on to play six more games that season, as Ipswich won Division Two, earning promotion to the new Premier League.

The following season saw Whelan become a first-team regular, playing in 32 of the club's 42 Premier League matches. He also became an England U21 international, and was a member of the Great Britain team that competed in the World Student games in July 1993, qualifying as he was completing an accountancy degree at the University of East Anglia.

In 1993–94 Whelan played 28 league matches for Ipswich, but the following season saw him restricted to 12 league appearances. In March 1995 he was sold to Middlesbrough for £300,000, with his final Ipswich game being a 3–0 defeat to Norwich City in the East Anglian Derby. After 28 appearances, he left Middlesbrough in May 1997, signing for Oxford United for £170,000. He spent three seasons at Oxford, making 51 league appearances, and also had a brief loan spell at Rotherham United towards the end of the 1998–99 season.

In the summer of 2000, Whelan signed for Southend on a free transfer. He spent three seasons at Roots Hall, playing 100 league matches, before retiring at the end of the 2002–03 season.

Mrtva priroda (trans. Still Life) is the third studio album from Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band Riblja Čorba, released in 1981.

In 1998, the album was polled as the 19th on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav rock and pop albums in the book YU 100: najbolji albumi jugoslovenske rok i pop muzike (YU 100: The Best albums of Yugoslav pop and rock music). In 2015, the album was pronounced the 22nd on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav albums published by Croatian edition of Rolling Stone.

Background and recording
For the first time, a Riblja Čorba album featured a song written entirely by the guitarist Momčilo Bajagić, "Ja sam se ložio na tebe". Nevertheless, Riblja Čorba frontman Bora Đorđević remained the band's main author, with six songs written by him.

The album was produced by John McCoy. In his 2011 book, Šta je pesnik hteo da kaže, Đorđević recalls how the band decided to hire McCoy:

Đorđević also states that the band was offered to record the album in one of the studios where Deep Purple had recorded Deep Purple In Rock, but turned it down, as PGP-RTB had just bought new equipment for their Studio V, so McCoy and Tony Taverner, who was in charge of recording, travelled to Belgrade.

Đorđević states that he did not want to put "Vetar duva, duva, duva", a short humorous song about cannabis, on the album, but was persuaded to do so by the rest of the members.

Album cover
The album cover was designed by Jugoslav Vlahović.

Reception
Three weeks after the album was released it sold 100,000 copies, which made Mrtva Priroda the fastest-selling album in the history of Yugoslav rock music. By the end of the year it sold more than 450,000 copies. Several songs became hits: "Neću da ispadnem životinja", "Pekar, lekar, apotekar", "Volim, volim žene" and "Na zapadu ništa novo".

"Na zapadu ništa novo" scandal
"Na zapadu ništa novo" (named after Erich Maria Remarque's novel All Quiet on the Western Front) was the band's first song with political undertones. Young Communist League of Yugoslavia's Bosnia-Herzegovina branch demanded Mrtva priroda be banned because of the lyrics "za ideale ginu budale" ("only fools die for their ideals") and "kreteni dižu bune i ginu" ("idiots organize uprisings and get killed") from the song. Arriving to Sarajevo to perform a concert during the album tour, Đorđević had to write an explanation for these problematic lyrics. The show organizers also made him sign a liability waiver regarding the performance of "Na zapadu ništa novo".

Legacy
In 1998, the album was polled in 1998 as the 19th on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav rock and pop albums in the book YU 100: najbolji albumi jugoslovenske rok i pop muzike (YU 100: The Best albums of Yugoslav pop and rock music).

In 2015, the album was pronounced the 22nd on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav albums published by Croatian edition of Rolling Stone. The magazine wrote:

{{cquote|The new wave was in the attack, but, alongside it, Belgrade hard rock band Riblja Čorba was also in the attack. In 1981, their third studio album, Mrtva priroda, was released, with which the band, led by charismatic Bora Đorđević, managed to beat even Bijelo Dugme's album sales. [...] Mrtva priroda is one of the rare albums of the Yugoslav scene from which literally every song became a hit [...] the message, the music and the emotions of the band matched with what the youth wanted at that point. In terms of creativity, Mrtva priroda was the peak. All of the band's later releases were compared with that album, on which the music and Đorđević's lyrics were in perfect balance [...]}}

In 2015 Mrtva priroda album cover was ranked the 8th on the list of 100 Greatest Album Covers of Yugoslav Rock published by web magazine Balkanrock.

Covers
Serbian girl group Aska included passages from "Volim, volim, volim, volim žene" and "Pekar, lekar, apotekar" into the medley "Koktel" ("Coctail") on their 1982 album Disco Rock.
Serbian hardcore punk band Sick Mother Fakers released a cover of "Odlazak u grad" on their 1998 album Lako ćemo.
Serbian punk rock band Six Pack released a cover of "Na zapadu ništa novo" on their 2000 album Minut ćutanja.
Serbian pop punk band Lude Krawe released a cover of "Vetar duva, duva, duva" (alongside a cover of song "Dva dinara, druže" from Riblja Čorba's album Pokvarena mašta i prljave strasti) on their 2007 cover album Sve tuđe.

Stephen Keim, SC is a Brisbane barrister who represented Indian-born doctor Mohamed Haneef in his application for judicial review of a decision to revoke his Australian visa. Keim is notable for his strongly principled though controversial actions throughout his successful conduct of the case, coming to public prominence by leaking to Hedley Thomas of The Australian the 142-page transcript of an interview of Haneef by the Australian Federal Police shortly after Haneef had been arrested on 2 July 2007.

Keim defended his actions publicly in an interview on 18 July, stating that I felt really that I had no option because the public are engaged in a very important debate with regard to what the Government has done with regard to my client, and I felt that it was very important in the first instance to relate - release that document to journalists so that the evidence on which that action is being taken is available to the public, so that they can conduct that debate on real evidence and not some skewed form or view of evidence.

Keim's actions drew sharp criticism from then-Prime Minister John Howard and then-Attorney-General Philip Ruddock. Keim was also the subject of disciplinary complaints brought against him by the Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police Mick Keelty, and a Brisbane solicitor, Russell Biddle, for having leaked the transcript. At the time Keim received strong support from within the legal profession.

On 1 February 2008 Keim was cleared of the complaints by the Legal Services Commission, who, although having found that Keim had committed a technical breach of one of the rules relating to barrister's conduct, the circumstances were such that Keim ought to be exonerated. The Commission stated further that it was in the "public interest" that the complaints be dismissed. Keim responded by stating that "whether I was going to be punished, reprimanded, or struck off, I had that inner confidence that it was an honest call that I made at the time and I did the best I could."

On 19 January 2008, Keim and Peter Russo, Haneef's solicitor, were made The Weekend Australian's Australians of the Year for 2007. On 10 December 2009, Keim was awarded the Human Rights Medal for 2009 by the Australian Human Rights Commission. In announcing the award, Commission President Cathy Branson QC noted: "Stephen’s efforts throughout his life have been both bold and brave, with one high profile instance being his assiduous efforts undertaken at personal cost in 2007 when he represented Dr Haneef."

In 2010, Keim was elected as the President of the Australian human rights advocacy NGO, the Australian lawyers for human rights.

"Fallen Angel" is the second single from Open Up and Say...Ahh!, American glam metal band Poison's second studio album. The B-side of the seven inch was "Bad to Be Good".

Background
Released as a single in 1988 on Capitol Records, the track reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #32 on the Mainstream Rock charts and has since gone Gold in the US. This made it the only single from the album not to reach the Top Ten. It also charted at number 21 on the Australian charts and number 59 on the UK Singles chart.

The song is about a young girl who grew up in a small town and goes to Los Angeles to try to make it as an actress. While there, she abandons her old life.

This theme is a reference to the history of the band Poison itself: Bret Michaels, Bobby Dall and Rikki Rockett all left their native Pennsylvania for Los Angeles in their quest for fame.

Cash Box said that "once again the boys bash and thrash their way through a good tune about the small-town girl gone bad in the big city."

"Fallen Angel", along with "Talk Dirty to Me", "I Won't Forget You" and "Ride the Wind", was the subject of a lawsuit in 2011 by members of the defunct band Kid Rocker, who claimed that the songs were based on Kid Rocker songs played to Poison guitarist C.C. DeVille before he was a member of Poison. On April 8, 2013, a California federal judge said that the plaintiffs waited too long to file their lawsuit, stating, "It is totally implausible that plaintiff did not discover the alleged infringement until 2011." The judge ruled that the plaintiffs could only sue for damages dating back three years from the date of the lawsuit (following a three-year statute of limitations), and no more.

Music video
The music video to "Fallen Angel" mostly follows the lyrics to the song, and was in heavy rotation on MTV. In the video, a young blonde (portrayed by Bret's then-girlfriend, model and then aspiring singer/actress Susie Hatton) tells her family, at dinner, that she is leaving for California at the end of the week, a statement that surprises and silences them. She arrives in Los Angeles with a suitcase in tow, eventually catching the attention of a sleazy manager (played by Anthony James). She becomes a success as a lingerie model, but feels like she is selling out her morals for fame. She begins dating her manager, but when he starts getting friendly with other ladies at a club, she leaves. He tries to get her back, but the girl gives him a kick in the groin and walks off. She is back on the streets, but is picked up by Bret Michaels on a Harley-Davidson Softail on Hollywood Boulevard and rides off into an unknown future. As her story ends, another girl, played by Michelle Davis, arrives on the bus hoping to find fame and fortune...

Rikki Rockett's white tee-shirt was blurred in several scenes, as it contained the Vision Street Wear logo, a popular brand with skate-boarders; Rikki was an avid skate-boarder. Two other logos, one being on a store window and another being a bus logo were also blurred as well perhaps for product brand issues.

Reception
"Fallen Angel" is widely regarded as one of Poison's best songs. In 2017, Billboard and OC Weekly each ranked the song number seven on their lists of the 10 greatest Poison songs.

"Fallen Angel" is included on the following albums:

 Open Up and Say... Ahh!
 Swallow This Live (live version)
 Poison's Greatest Hits: 1986–1996

Nenad Mirosavljević (; born 4 September 1977) is a Serbian former footballer who played as a striker.

During his 20-year-long career, Mirosavljević scored over 100 goals in the national championship of Serbia (including its predecessors) with five clubs, most notably Smederevo (formerly Sartid). He also played abroad for two Spanish and two Cypriot clubs, performing with APOEL in the UEFA Champions League.

Club career

Early years
Mirosavljević made his senior debut with Proleter Zrenjanin during the 1996–97 campaign, on the same team with future national team players Vladimir Ivić and Zvonimir Vukić. He scored five goals in 19 league appearances during his first season, as the team secured a spot in the 1997 UEFA Intertoto Cup. During his time at the club, Mirosavljević amassed a total of 102 league appearances and scored 27 goals.

Sartid Smederevo
In September 2000, Mirosavljević was snapped by Sartid Smederevo, making 25 league appearances and scoring 15 goals in his first season at the club. He tallied the same number of league goals in the 2001–02 season, helping the team finish third in the national championship. In September 2002, in the UEFA Cup first round, Mirosavljević scored the opener against Ipswich Town in the first leg, a 1–1 draw at Portman Road. However, they were eliminated after a 1–0 loss at home. Mirosavljević also helped the club win the Serbia and Montenegro Cup in 2003. He remained at Smederevo during the 2004 UEFA Intertoto Cup, scoring seven goals in four matches, before moving abroad for the first time. In his four-year stint with the Oklopnici, Mirosavljević made a total of 118 league appearances and scored 59 goals.

Cádiz
In August 2004, Mirosavljević was transferred to Spanish club Cádiz. He spent two seasons at Cádiz, making 37 league appearances and scoring eight goals for the club. In his second season, while the club played in the top flight, Mirosavljević scored a goal against Barcelona in his team's 3–1 loss.

Partizan
On 1 August 2006, it was announced that Mirosavljević signed with Partizan on a three-year contract. He was given the number 30 shirt, making his debut for the club in a 2–0 home league win over Banat Zrenjanin on 19 August 2006. Mirosavljević scored his first goal for Partizan in the UEFA Cup group stage against Livorno on 2 November 2006, the game ended 1–1. He netted his first league goal for the club in a 2–1 away win over Banat Zrenjanin on 18 November 2006.

In January 2007, Mirosavljević secured a loan switch to Spanish club Vecindario. He made his debut for Vecindario against his former club Cádiz on 28 January 2007. Until the end of the 2006–07 season, Mirosavljević made 19 league appearances and scored three goals for Vecindario, as the club failed to avoid relegation.

Return to Smederevo
Subsequently, Mirosavljević had an unassuming brief spell at his former club Smederevo, scoring four goals in 12 league appearances. He also scored once in a 3–0 Serbian Cup victory over Novi Pazar on 26 September 2007.

APOEL
On 2 January 2008, Mirosavljević moved to Cyprus and signed an 18-month contract with APOEL. He made his competitive debut for the club on 12 January 2008 in a league fixture against APOP Kinyras. His first two goals for APOEL came on 30 January 2008 in a cup match against Aris Limassol. In December 2008, Mirosavljević extended his contract until the end of the 2010–11 season.

With his three goals, Mirosavljević helped APOEL qualify for the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League. He played five matches during the group stage and scored two goals. On 25 November 2009, Mirosavljević netted the opening goal in a 1–1 home draw versus Atlético Madrid. Two weeks later, on 8 December 2009, Mirosavljević came off the bench and scored a late equalizer as APOEL draw 2–2 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

In March 2010, Mirosavljević suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, causing him to miss the remainder of the 2009–10 season. After several months of recovering, Mirosavljević returned to the field in November 2010, making 10 appearances until the end of the 2010–11 season, without scoring a goal. In May 2011, Mirosavljević left APOEL after three and a half years, when the club announced that it would not renew the contract with the player. In an interview in 2012, Mirosavljević said that his time at APOEL was the heyday of his career.

Later years
In July 2011, after his contract with APOEL expired, Mirosavljević agreed to a one-year deal with fellow Cypriot First Division club Olympiakos Nicosia. He played his farewell match for Olympiakos on 28 January 2012, thus leaving Cyprus after four years to return to Serbia.

On 1 February 2012, Mirosavljević signed an 18-month contract with Napredak Kruševac and was immediately named as team captain. He scored a goal from the penalty spot on his debut for the club in a 3–0 home victory over Radnički Sombor. In the 2012–13 season, Mirosavljević led the club to promotion to the top flight of Serbian football.

During the 2014 winter transfer window, Mirosavljević moved to Čukarički, making 12 league appearances and scoring five goals until the end of the 2013–14 season. He also helped his club win its first major trophy by taking the 2014–15 Serbian Cup. After the end of the 2015–16 season, Mirosavljević retired from playing professional football.

International career
Mirosavljević played for the national B team of FR Yugoslavia in a friendly match against the Czech Republic national under-21 team in September 2002.

Post-playing career
Immediately upon hanging up his boots, Mirosavljević was named as vice-president of Čukarički. He also served as caretaker manager of their first team twice, in September 2016 and May 2018.

Obukhovo () is an urban locality (a work settlement) in Noginsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia, located  east from Moscow. Population:

Overview
The settlement is divided into two parts by the M7 auto route.

Two rivers flow through Obukhovo: the Klyazma and the Shalovka (Klyazma's tributary).

Obukhovo used to be a famous center of textile industry. Its core enterprises were a sand pit and two carpet factories. Bankruptcy of the factories led to their closure in 2002.

History
Obukhovo was first mentioned in a book about Moscow region written in 1573–1574. In 1708, English businessman Andrew Stales built a powder mill in Obukhovo, which later manufactured gunpowder. In the first half of the 19th century the powder mill underwent bankruptcy and was sold on auction.

In 1775, Obukhovskaya suburb was organized near the powder mill.

In 1852, Anisim Tyulyaev built a clothing factory and in 1857 Mikhail Brunov built a carpet factory in Obukhovskaya suburb. After the October Revolution, both factories were nationalized. In 1958, the factories merged under the name of "Lenin Carpet and Clothing Enterprise of Obukhovo".

On May 21, 1928, the settlement was granted urban-type settlement status and renamed Obukhovo.

In 2002, "The Carpets of Obukhovo" Joint Stock Company (former "Lenin carpet and cloth combine of Obukhovo") went bankrupt and in 2006 it was liquidated.

Demographics

Sports
The settlement is also well known as one of the bandy centres of Russia. Many players from Obukhovo has become World Champions. Sportivny Klub Obukhovo is the only club outside the highest division of Russian Bandy Super League to have an artificial ice. Obukhovo has hosted several Youth World Championships.  In February 2011 it was for Girls-17, in December 2011 for Boys-23, in which the Russian team was victorious after beating Sweden after extra-time in the final and in 2013 the same tournament.

The other sections of Sportivny Klub Obukhovo are association football, volleyball, judo, and field hockey.

Berlin European UK is a defunct regional UK airline based at Tegel Airport in what used to be West Berlin in the days prior to Germany's reunification.

History
Captain Richard "Dick" Twomey, a former British Airways pilot and general manager in Berlin, was the founder and majority owner of Berlin Regional UK, Berlin European's original name.

Preparations for Berlin Regional's launch were complete in December 1985, following which the airline was legally constituted in 1986. Commercial airline operations commenced during April 1987.

Its initial fleet comprised two BAe Jetstream 31 commuter turboprop planes. These featured a reduced seat capacity of 16 (rather than the more usual 19). While Berlin Regional employed its own maintenance engineers at Tegel Airport for routine maintenance tasks, East Midlands Airport-based maintenance engineering contractor Field Aviation performed heavy maintenance on Berlin Regional's Jetstreams.

Both the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and West Berlin's Allied Air Attachés had licensed Berlin Regional to operate year-round, daily scheduled services from Berlin Tegel to Basle, Brussels, Copenhagen, Friedrichshafen, Geneva and Kiel. None of these destinations was served from any West Berlin airport on a regular, scheduled basis at the time of Berlin Regional's application for traffic rights to the relevant authorities.

In April 1987 Berlin Regional inaugurated its first two scheduled routes from Berlin Tegel to Copenhagen and Geneva. Basle and Friedrichshafen joined Berlin Regional's scheduled route network in June 1987. Services to Brussels never got off the ground, as a result of US major TWA's subsequent decision to enter the Tegel–Brussels market with a much bigger Boeing 727-100 from July 1987. Poor loads to Basle and Geneva forced Berlin Regional to combine these services. When Pan Am Express launched a competing Tegel–Basle route in November 1987, Berlin Regional dropped Basle from its schedule. Like Brussels, Kiel was never served, as a result of Pan Am Express's decision to serve this destination from Tegel itself. Ultimately, Copenhagen and Friedrichshafen were Berlin Regional's only surviving scheduled destinations.

On 4 May 1988 Capt. Twomey held a press conference in Berlin during which he announced a new strategy for his airline. This strategy envisaged the adoption of a new name for the airline as well as the replacement of the regional turboprop fleet with "mainline" jet equipment, thereby enabling the company to exit the overcrowded, cut-throat regional scheduled market from Berlin and to apply for scheduled licences to serve higher margin trunk routes, as well as to enter the lucrative inclusive tour (IT) charter market under contract to the city's leading package tour operators. As a result, Berlin Regional UK would become Berlin European UK and lease a new Boeing 737-300. However, an unsuccessful application for a scheduled route licence to serve the prestigious Berlin–Frankfurt route with up to four daily flights in each direction resulted in Berlin European subleasing this aircraft to fellow UK independent Monarch Airlines from October 1988. (Berlin European arranged for the aircraft, which had already been painted in Berlin European's livery, to be directly transferred from the manufacturer's Seattle plant in the US to Monarch's Luton base in the UK.)

All remaining Berlin European scheduled services ceased at the end of the 1989/90 winter timetable period.

Following the cessation of its scheduled operations, Berlin European leased another new 737-300 for sole use on charter flights to the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands from its Tegel base. This aircraft was contracted to Germany's biggest tour operator TUI and to Berliner Flugring, at the time Berlin's leading package tour operator, from the beginning of the 1990 summer season.

With the reunification of the two Germanies which took place that year, German airlines took over the scheduled and charter operations which had previously been undertaken, under the terms of the post-World War II Potsdam Agreement, by the British, American and French airline operators. Capt Twomey reluctantly decided to sell Berlin European's airport slots and other effects to Germania, with effect from 1 April 1991. On that day Berlin European's Air Operator Certificate expired and the transfer of its ownership to Germania became effective.

At the end of September 2017 in Russia, a scandal erupted around VIM Airlines, then on the official website of Israel Airports Authority in the timetable of flights to Ovda airport, all VIM Airlines scheduled flight records were replacedby the name BERLIN EUROPEAN U.K., including appropriate flight numbers. At the moment it is not clear whether this replacement is formal, or flights will be carried out under name of BERLIN EUROPEAN U.K., or it is just outdated information of IATA codes table, handled by Israel Airports Authority. The first flight to Ovda Airport scheduled 15.10.2017 from St.Petersburg under WZ 4773 flight number. As known, WZ IATA code registered today for Russian Red Wings Airlines.

Cavillon (; ) is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.

Geography
Cavillon is a small village surrounded by fields and woods, situated on the D121, D156 and D95 crossroads, about northwest of Amiens. Predominantly a farming area raising dairy cows, pigs and free-range chickens. A project to create a large pig-rearing facility is currently undergoing discussion and planning approval, much to the disgruntlement of the local population.

Population

History
Cavillon has existed since Gallo-Roman times. During ploughing, archaeologists regularly find artifacts in the ground between the town and the place known as "The Brickyard", where a Roman villa once stood.
Found under the written form "Cavellon" as early as 1166, this town was mentioned again as "Caveillon" in 1301 and appeared under its current name of "Cavillon" in 1567.

Places of note
 The church of St. Nicolas, is in stone with a low steeple covered with slates. On the apse, one can read the date of 1781, but the nave is from the end of the 16th century.
 Cavaillon Synagogue and Jewish Museum, a 16th-century synagogue, with 18th century rococo interior renovations
 The château, near the church, in a beautiful woodland park, was built of bricks and stone in 1648. Two lower wings were added in 1698 and 1830. In the 1950s, it was the property of the Abbaye du Gard (on the left bank of the river Somme, downstream of Picquigny).
 The old school and mayor's office was built in 1868. The school closed in 1960. In 1996, the building was restored and laid out as a meeting room and commune secretary's office.
 On the other side of the D95, that crosses the town, is the  'old cemetery', surrounded by a brick wall, where rest the remains of five soldiers of the British Commonwealth.
 Chapelle Notre-Dame des Victoires, on the road leading to Oissy.

Leisure, cultural and tourist activities
 The town centre has a newly laid out square with flowering plants, benches and a pétanque piste.  The biggest of Cavillon's three ponds is shaded by trees and the nests of moorhens and ducks can be seen on its flowery banks.
 The attractiveness of the town of Cavillon, well maintained despite the municipal worker having to divide his time with neighbouring towns, is also attributed to the residents, encouraged by the wife of the current mayor, to grow flowers in their own gardens.
 Several walking routes pass through the commune of Cavillon, with directional panels provided by the C.C.O.A.

The 2007–08 season was Norwich City's third consecutive year in the Football League Championship. This article shows statistics and lists all matches that Norwich City played in the season.

Season summary
Norwich had a busy summer with Peter Grant bringing in 9 players, which included goalkeeper David Marshall and former players Jamie Cureton and Darel Russell making returns to Carrow Road. 10 players departed Norwich, most notably Dickson Etuhu and Robert Earnshaw, while Darren Huckerby caused controversy by criticizing the club for selling their best players.

Norwich started off with a goalless draw away at Preston and a 2–1 win over Southampton, but after this Norwich endured a horrendous run of form, winning 1 league game in 8. After a 1–0 away defeat to QPR, Grant and City parted company by mutual consent.

Jim Duffy took over as caretaker boss, but lost his 3 games in charge.

On 30 October, Glenn Roeder was appointed as Grant's successor with the team bottom of the table. His first game was the East Anglian Derby against Ipswich, a 2–2 draw with Norwich coming back from 2–0 down. Norwich lost their next 2 games, including a dreadful 3–0 defeat away at Plymouth Argyle, and were 8 points away from safety. After that defeat Roeder brought in Matty Pattison, Mo Camara and Ched Evans on loan to add to the loan signing of Martin Taylor, who had been signed before the game against Ipswich (Pattison's loan move was made permanent in January). Norwich's form improved greatly, with only one defeat in eleven league games. After a 3–1 win over Barnsley on 12 January Norwich were in 18th position, four points clear of the relegation zone. Roeder began an overhaul of the squad during the January transfer window, selling Chris Brown to Preston and releasing David Strihavka, Julien Brellier and Ian Murray, all of whom had been signed by Grant and who had not figured in the first team since the defeat at Plymouth.

"Your Mama Don't Dance" is a hit 1972 song by the rock duo Loggins and Messina.  Released on their self-titled album Loggins and Messina, it reached number four on the Billboard pop chart and number 19 on the Billboard Easy Listening Chart as a single in early 1973.

Overview

This song, whose refrain and first verse is done in a blues format, deals with the 1950s and 1960s lifestyle concerning the generation gap, where the parents oppose the Rock and Roll Revolution of the younger generation, which includes the rebelliousness against the old society that monitors curfews on dating; as well as being arrested for making love with a girl in the back seat of a car during a drive-in movie, which happens during the bridge section of the song.

When released as a single, it was the duo's biggest hit as well as their only Gold single.

"Your Mama Don't Dance" was covered in 1973 by Australian band the Bootleg Family Band, which made the top 5 in Australia. It was also covered in 1985 by the rock band Y&T.

Elvis Presley included the song in a medley of rock n' roll songs on his 1974 album Elvis Recorded Live on Stage in Memphis.

Poison cover

In 1988, the glam metal band Poison recorded a cover of "Your Mama Don't Dance." It appeared as the ninth track on their second album Open Up and Say...Ahh! by Capitol Records and was released as the album's fourth single. The Poison version reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 39 on the Mainstream rock charts and has since gone Gold in the US. The song also charted at number 21 on the Australian charts and number 13 on the UK Singles chart. The single's B-side is "Tearin' Down the Walls".

Critical reception
Cash Box said "Take a classic Loggins & Messina rock/blues song, and play. It’s an instant hit." Reviewer of Record Mirror was disappointed by this single. He found it ″completely naff″ when contrasted with "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", the band's previous ″quite listenable hit″. Jerry Smith from British music newspaper Music Week also expressed an opinion that this "ordinary slice of good-time rock'n'roll" is "highly unlikely to enhance their reputation as wild, heavy rockers". Pan-European magazine Music & Media described the song as "energetic version" of traditional 12 -bar with a vague doo-wisp edge. In 2017, Billboard and OC Weekly ranked the song number six and number five, respectively, on their lists of the 10 greatest Poison songs.

Carlos Duarte (June 1, 1957 in Caracas – April 13, 2003) was a Venezuelan composer and pianist.
Duarte's first public recital took place at age 11. At 16, he won the National Composition Prize given by the National Institute of Culture,  an award he would win for three consecutive years from 1973 to 1975. He composed several pieces for piano and orchestra: "Ludios" (Ludus), "Sinfonietta La Mar" (Sea Sinfonietta), and "Concierto de la Canción Triste" (Sad Song Concerto). In 1999, he composed a Quintet for the End of the Century ("Quinteto para el Fin del Siglo") and performed the first performances in the same year, with the Arpeggione Quartet (as a piano quintet) and with the European Union Chamber Orchestra (as a concerto for piano and string orchestra). His last work was a requiem, entitled "Requiem para un Idiota" (Requiem for an Idiot), for piano (as his own voice), chorus, eight clarinets, eight bassoons, eight contrabassoons and eight double basses. It was premiered after his death by the Caracas Municipal Symphony Orchestra (Orquesta Sinfónica Municipal de Caracas) on 30 April 2006, conducted by Rodolfo Saglimbeni, with Arnaldo Pizzolante playing the piano part. Both were among the closest friends of Duarte.

Duarte also composed the incidental piano music for Jav & Jos, The Last Minotaur and Clitemnestra, all performed by the "Theja" Theater Group in the 1990s. Between 1987 and 1990, he was the pianist of the Caracas Municipal Symphony Orchestra. He taught at the Universidad Simón Bolívar Post-Graduate Music Faculty and toured internationally with the Simón Bolivar Orchestra.

Antun Dobronić (2 April 1878, Jelsa, Croatia – 12 December 1955, Zagreb, Croatia) was a Croatian composer and pupil of Vítězslav Novák. He studied at the Prague Conservatory from 1910 to 1912. From 1922 to 1940, he served as professor at the Zagreb Academy of Music. His works show a strong streak of Croatian nationalism, which also is manifest in his writings on music. He sought to integrate high culture music techniques with traditional Croatian folk elements.

Dobronić was a prolific composer. He composed eight symphonies and six ballets. He also composed operas, chamber music, and works for choirs.

Biography

Antun Dobronić was born on April 2, 1878; he was the ninth and last child of the family of Prošper and Barbara, née Selem. He had his first contact with music listening to two Jelsa (Hvar) brass bands. He had his first lesson in music from a priest, Pavao Matijević, and went on studying by himself with the help of various textbooks, and later on by correspondence as well. From time to time he went to Split to have lessons from the composer Josip Hatze. He studied to be a teacher in the Normal School in Arbanasi near Zadar. He had his first position as a teacher on Hvar Island in the villages of Gdinj and Vrisnik, then on the island of Vis, and in Drniš. He was very active in these places and founded and ran choirs and orchestras. He also wrote for the press, and had a number of articles about the advancement of education published, as well as about the theory and practice of music and music life. While he was school-teaching in Drniš, from his field research into vernacular singing, Dobronić wrote a lengthy study about the idiosyncratic form of singing practised in the Drniš region called ojkanje. He argued that ojkanje was a primary element in music, or rather, the first phase of the art of music among the Croats.
He collected and wrote down vernacular songs from Dalmatia, particularly from Jelsa and Hvar Island.

Leaving for Prague to study composition at the Conservatory was a watershed moment in Dobronić's creative life. He arrived in Prague in autumn 1910 and went straight into the third year. He learned composition from Karel Sticker (1861 – 1918), conducting from František Spilek (1877 – 1960). The following year he moved to the master class of the then leading figure of modern Czech music, Vítězslav Novák (1870 – 1949) who became the key figure in the shaping of his manner of composition. In 1912 he completed his course by conducting his own symphonic composition Calling into the Round Dance, at a concert in the Rudolfinum.

The year 1916 occupies a special place in Dobronić's biography for it was marked by three major cultural events. On February 5 the First Symphony Concert of Young Croatian Composers was held; in addition to works by the composers Krešimir Baranović, Božidar Širola, Franjo Dugan, Svetislav Stančić and Dora Pejačević, Dobronić's symphonic portrait Carnevale had its first performance. For Dobronić, this appearance was a triumph, and the best entrée he could have had into Zagreb music life. The concert also marked a turning point in his private life for that evening he made the acquaintance of Jerka Marković, a piano teacher, who a few years later was to become his wife.
At the next concert, April 1, vocal works of young composers introduced at the historic concert were performed. The Dobronić works performed were choral pieces from the collection Songs of Unrealised Love.

Even after this colossal success in Zagreb, the young composer had to wait a few more years before making his much-desired move to the capital. He went to Arbanasi, near Zadar, where he worked as music teacher in the Normal School, wrote about music and composed vigorously. At that time his solo song cycles Girlish Dream Visions and Dilberke, the First String Quartet and his first opera Suton (Twilight).
In 1918 he was at last able to move to Zagreb, the metropolis of musical life in Croatia. He got a job as teacher at the Male Normal School, ran the male students’ choir Mladost, and wrote numbers of articles about the advancement of education, the reform of the opera of the Croatian National Theatre and the Zagreb Conservatory. In 1923, he was appointed professor of composition at the Music Academy, a post which he held until his retirement in 1940.

He died on December 12, 1955.

His oeuvre comprises more than 180 compositions for various ensembles, including 8 symphonies, 5 string quartets, 12 cantatas, a larger number of choral pieces, solo songs, 13 operas and 5 ballets, works for smaller ensembles and solo instruments. His musical style is characterised by a combination of the Neoclassicist form of expression and the features of the national course.
The works for small ensembles gave him breathing space before going on with the big forms – the operas and the symphonies. He championed the idea that the symphony should make its way into opera, seeing in that the only salvation for the operatic form, and called his own operas symphonic dramas, dramatic lyrics or music-theatre tragedies. His vocal art ranged from the late Romantic vocal lyric to a reduction of the melodic line to such an extent that it would sometimes cross the border into recitative. In his symphonic works he painted the national melodies he used with bold orchestration and for the names of the movements he often used non-musical terminology of a programmatic nature. He wrote a large number of works for the choir, with particular attention being drawn by four collections containing more than 100 harmonised or arranged folk songs. In the five string quartets written between 1917 and 1947 it is possible to see the evolution of his composing style; the five symphonies created from 1937 to the end of his life describe Dobronić's mature composerly thinking.

Matthew Ronald Brazier (2 July 1976 – 4 February 2019) was an English professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He began his career with Queens Park Rangers before joining fellow London based side Fulham in 1998. After a brief loan spell at Cardiff City, Brazier joined the Bluebirds on a permanent deal for a fee of £100,000. He helped the club win promotion during the 2000–01 season but fell out of favour under manager Alan Cork and was allowed to join Leyton Orient six months later.

Career

Early career
Brazier began his career at Queens Park Rangers, making his way through the club's youth system. The 1995–96 season saw him establish himself in the Premier League side, during his time at Queens Park Rangers he played in both the Premier League and the 1st Division, he left to join neighbours Fulham for the 1998-1999 season. He scored on his first start for the club in a match against Preston North End, but his spell at Fulham was brief as he struggled to make an impact in the side and he was eventually allowed to go on loan to Cardiff City.

Cardiff City
His loan spell saw him make 11 appearances for the club and, despite a back injury disrupting his time at the club, his performances persuaded Cardiff to pay £100,000 for him at the end of the 1998–99 season. His first season back at the club did not live up to the expectations set during his loan spell at the club and it was not until his second year that he managed to return to form only for an illness to disrupt his season. He helped the team win promotion to the Second Division during the 2000–01 season as they finished as runners-up to Brighton & Hove Albion.

In the 2001–02 season, Brazier fell out of favour with manager Alan Cork after being told on the first day of pre-season training that he had been placed on the transfer list, along with a number of other players, including Jason Fowler, Scott McCulloch and Andy Thompson, who labelled themselves the "death camp" due to their exclusion from first team activity. He made just one appearance during the season, in October 2001, during a 7–1 victory over Rushden & Diamonds in the Football League Trophy. Brazier became disgruntled with the situation and launched a scathing attack on Cork, stating "I didn't matter if I played out of my skin for the reserves, I wasn't going to get a game at Cardiff this season and Alan Cork made that clear to me at the start. [...] He might say there wasn't a problem between us, but I think there was. I don't think he wanted me anywhere near the club."

Brazier and Kevin Nugent both saw moves to Colchester United collapse in December 2001, but the pair eventually moved to Leyton Orient in January 2002. Brazier spent two years with Leyton Orient before retiring in 2004.

Death

On 4 February 2019, Brazier died, aged 42, following a battle with non-Hodgkin follicular lymphoma.

The Principality of the Pindus (; ; ; ) is a name given to describe a self-declared autonomous Aromanian political entity in the territory of Greece during World War II.

In 1941, the territory of Greece was occupied by Italy, Germany and Bulgaria during World War II. At that time, Alcibiades Diamandi, an Aromanian residing in Samarina who had earlier been the lead of a previous attempt to create an Aromanian political entity, was active with an organization that later literature named the Roman Legion.

As part of the activity of the organization in the areas of mainly Thessaly (and Epirus, and West Macedonia), it was mentioned as an intention of Diamandi to create a semi-independent entity by the name "Principality of the Pindus" or "Pindus Canton" with himself as the "Prince". The Roman Legion was never able to assert itself over the Aromanians whom it supposedly represented; it received small support from the local population. The existence of the self-declared principality was also opposed by both Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, as well as by the Greek collaborationist government and by fascist-ruled Romania.

Background
Since Romania's formation in 1859, it tried to win influence over the Aromanian (and also the Megleno-Romanian) population of the Ottoman Empire. In the 1860s, it funded the activity of Apostolos Margaritis who founded Romanian schools in the Ottoman territories of Epirus and Macedonia since the Aromanian language has much in common with the Romanian language. Romania, with the support of Austria-Hungary, succeeded in the acceptance of the Aromanians as a separate millet with the decree (irade) of 22 May 1905 by Sultan Abdulhamid, so the Ullah millet ("Vlach millet", for the Aromanians) could have their own churches and schools. This was a diplomatic success of Romania in European Turkey in the last part of the 19th century.

Romania then funded the construction and operation of many schools in the wider region of Macedonia and Epirus. These schools have continued their operation even when some of the territories of the region of Macedonia and Thrace passed to Greek authority in 1912. Their financing by Romania continued in 1913 with the agreement of the then Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos. In such Romanian schools, there was a coordinated effort to promote the idea of Romanian identity among Aromanians. Graduates of these schools who wanted to continue their education usually went to educational institutions in Romania.

In 1917, a short-lived polity, which has been described as the "Samarina Republic" posteriorly, was declared during World War I, though it would be disestablished on the same year. In some sources, this entity is also called "Principality of the Pindus".

History

The Aromanians were part of the projects for the dismemberment of Greece set up by the Italians. When the 11th Army occupied the areas in 1941, their commanders received orders by Palazzo Chigi (the seat of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the time) to survey each village recording their ethnicity and its attitude towards the occupiers, finding that most Aromanians absorbed and assimilated into the Greek community with the exception of some groups who were recorded as anti-Bulgarian, anti-Greek, pro-Italian and pro-Romanian. A pre-war dossier for the Italian government on the subject of the Aromanians promoted the idea that they were descendants from the Ancient Romans and that the Aromanians had taken shelter in the Pindus Mountains against barbarian invasions, to be used at the appropriate moment.

After the fall of Greece to the Germans in spring 1941 and the division of the country among the Axis powers, Alcibiades Diamandi created a collaborationist organisation known as the Roman Legion with the support of the Italian occupation authorities and promoted the idea of an Aromanian canton or semi-independent state, called several decades later by the name "Principality of Pindus" that would encompass northwestern Greece. Diamandi also met the Greek collaborationist Prime Minister, Georgios Tsolakoglou, but Tsolakoglou refused to accommodate his demands. In reality Italian "military authorities refused to permit any form of self-administration by the Aromanians in the awareness that their irredentist aspirations, or appeals for annexation to Italy, were a masquerade by a minority movement seeking political and economic revenge". In addition, Nazi Germany also explicitly refused to approve of the creation of such an entity. The fascist government of Romania under Ion Antonescu also rejected Diamandi's plans for the principality.

From mid-1942 on, the armed Greek Resistance made its presence felt, fighting against the Italians and their collaborators and the leader of the Roman Legion, Diamandi, left for Romania in July 1942, to be allegedly followed by his second in command and successor Nicolaos Matussis. Matussis abandoned the seperatist movement shortly after Diamandi and followed him to Romania. However, Matussis maintained up until his death that the charge of collaboration against him was fabricated and that he was not associated with the Roman Legion.

Asianet News is an Indian Malayalam language  free to air news channel operated by Asianet News Network a subsidiary of Jupiter Entertainment Ventures. The channel is based in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Asianet News is currently one of the market leaders in the Malayalam television news sector.

Malayalam general entertainment channels, Asianet, Asianet Plus, and Asianet Movies, are owned by Disney Star, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company India. It presently has no connections with Asianet News Network channels.

History
The Asianet channel company and Asianet cable company were promoted by Dr. Raji Menon.

Initially Dr. Raji Menon owned 90% stake. 5% stake was with Mr Raghu Nandan (Dr Menon’ elder brother). Mr Sashi Kumar was a paid employee of Asianet and Dr Menon's nephew, whom Dr. Raji Menon gifted 5% stake first, increased to 26% and then to 45% stake later at Sashi kumar's request. Dr. Raji Menon bought back the shares earlier gifted to Mr Sashikumar in 1999 at an agreed price, and took over full control of Asianet

In the absence of bank financing 50% stake of the cable networking company was sold to Raheja Group.

Asianet Communications was the first entertainment television company in Malayalam.

Origins
Asianet Communications was toying with the idea of a news channel - there was none in Malayalam - for a long time. It was with this intention that Asianet Global - their second channel - was launched in June 2001. The channel was targeting the huge expatriate Malayali population in the Middle East and Europe. However, as it turned out, there were very few news-based programmes in the channel and most of it later gave way to film-based entertainment programmes.

With Asianet Global not fetching returns, the management decided to go in for an entertainment channel called "Asianet Plus" and terminate Asianet Global. Midway through the launching and wind up process, there was a rethink and the concept of a news channel was revived. It was initially reported in the media that the a news channel will be launched by December 2002. The channel was expected have news programmes in the evenings after which there would be a variety of entertainment programmes. Hourly news bulletins were also expected. Asianet Global was eventually renamed as "Asianet News" on 1 May 2003. Company MD K. Madhavan told the media that the entire channel had also been restructured in the process.

The Era of Rajiv Chandrasekhar
Chandrasekhar was a Bangalore-based businessman of Kerala origin. In late 2006 Dr. Raji Menon partially pulled out of Asianet turning over control to Chandrasekhar. At the time, Asianet was the leader amongst the Malayalam channels accounting for 35% of Kerala's total advertisement market.

Chandrasekhar had acquired a 51% stake in the Asianet channels (Asianet, Asianet News, and Asianet Plus) through Jupiter Entertainment Ventures (JEV) in October 2006. While there was no official word from Asianet on the size of the investment, the figure is thought to range between INR 120-150 crore. The remaining 49% stake was still held by Dr. Raji Menon and Asianet MD K. Madhavan with Zee Group holding a small 3% stake. Madhavan continued as the MD of Asianet, while Chandrasekhar took over as the chairman of the company. Asianet Communications soon launched its foray into Kannada and Telugu television industry with Asianet Suvarna and Asianet Sitara.

STAR India acquisitions
Asianet was restructured into four companies in June 2008 (general entertainment, news, radio and media infrastructure). This move was to allow separate investments in each company. STAR India started talks with the owners of the Asianet channels in August 2008. While the negotiations were going on, the CPI-Marxist leadership in Kerala famously called for "a revolt against the entry of media mogul Rupert Murdoch's STAR TV network into the [Kerala] state". The party called the move a "cultural invasion".

STAR India eventually bought a 51% stake in Asianet Communications and formed joint venture with JEV in November 2008. The joint venture, called "STAR Jupiter", comprised all general entertainment channels of Asianet Communications (Asianet, Asianet Plus, Asianet Suvarna and Asianet Sitara)  and Star Vijay. Star India had reportedly paid $235 million in cash for the 51% stake and assumed net debt of approximately $20 million.  It's not clear how much stake Dr. Raji Menon held in the new STAR Jupiter venture. Prior to forming the JV, it was known that the original founder (Dr. Raji Menon) had held about 26% stake. In the wake of media reports about the STAR takeover, Asianet Vice-chairman Madhavan issued a media release saying: "There is no basis for the speculation that the policies of the Asianet News Network (ANN) will fall under foreign [STAR]  control".

STAR India increased its stake in Asianet Communications to 75% in July 2010 (for which STAR India paid around $90 million in cash), and to 87%, by acquiring 12% stake for $160 million in June 2013. The later move was by virtue of acquiring a 19% equity stake in Vijay TV from Chandrasekhar and Asianet Communications MD Madhavan. Following the June 2013 investment, Asianet Communications was valued at $1.33 billion. STAR India acquired 100% stake in Asianet Communications (buying the remaining 13% stake) in March 2014.

Allegations on curtailing of editorial freedom
In October 2016 Jupiter Capital was accused by the media of interfering with editorial freedom. The accusation was triggered by a leaked email sent from Jupiter Capital Chief Operating Officer Amit Gupta to editorial heads of Asianet News, Suvarna News, and Kannada Prabha. M. G. Radhakrishnan, Editor-in-Chief of Asianet News, told the media he was not aware of the email and that he had "never faced pressure of any kind from the management".

Chandrasekhar was one of the largest investors in ARG Outlier Asianet News, the parent company of the English-language news channel Republic TV.  Chandrasekhar, through Asianet, had invested over INR 30 crore in ARG Outlier. SARG Media Holding - owned by Arnab Goswami - is other major investor in ARG Outlier Asianet News. In May 2019, Asianet diluted its shareholding in The Republic Media Network by selling a large amount its shares to Goswami. Currently, Asianet is a minority investor in Republic TV.

Security issues and ban

On 6 March 2020, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry suspended the broadcast of Asianet News and MediaOne TV for two days over their coverage of the 2020 Delhi riots. The ministry accused the two channels of "being biased and critical of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the Delhi Police". Citing a report of P. R. Sunil, the government said the coverage was done in a manner "which highlighted the attack on places of worship and siding towards a particular community". The ban on Asianet News was eventually revoked at 1.30 am (8 March).

Editorial freedom

Asianet News and Suvarna News are currently run by Asianet News Network (ANN). ANN operates as a subsidiary of Jupiter Entertainment Ventures (JEV), a subsidiary of Jupiter Capital Ventures. As per the media critics, Asianet News enjoys a good "reputation" among the news channels in Malayalam. It is often described as "a widely trusted" brand and "top player" in the Malayalam media space.

According to Jacob George, a prominent commentator, Asianet News has had a "secular and progressive stance" since the time of its inception in 2003. In his opinion, the current editorial leadership at the news channel is "not easily malleable" and has "immense credibility". According to the Caravan magazine, Asianet News, is "by wide consensus, the most popular and credible news channel in Kerala".

Recruiting guideline Email
Media watchdog Newslaundry exposed an e-mail from Amit Gupta, the Chief Operating Officer of Jupiter Capital, to the editorial heads of Asianet News and Suvarna News, in October 2016. The internal e-mail was sent in September, 2016 as a 'guideline' to look up while recruiting new editors.

Jupiter Capital, according to the Email, wanted their new editors to be "right of centre in his/her editorial tonality" and "well familiarised with his (Rajeev Chandrasekhar's) thoughts on nationalism and governance". The letter explicitly said that the fresh "editorial talent should be aligned to Rajeev Chandrasekhar's ideology"(Rajeev Chandrasekhar is an MP of BJP)

Amit Gupta, on the very next day, had to retract the email because of internal editorial pushback.

He then played in the Scottish Premier League for Motherwell before spending his final two seasons playing competitive football for Non-League sides Aldershot Town, Aylesbury United, Crawley Town and Farnborough Town. During his career, he gained five international caps for Wales.

Club career

Ready began his career at Queens Park Rangers where he went on to make over 250 appearances during an eleven-year spell with the club. During a match with Crewe Alexandra in August 2000, Ready suffered a broken ankle and a number of complications during his recovery resulted in him missing the majority of the start of the 2000–01 season.

He returned to England, joining Aldershot Town. However, he was released by the club during the 2002–03 season and signed for Aylesbury United several months later, making his debut in the opening game of the 2003–04 season on 16 August 2003, converting a penalty during a 3–2 win over Billericay Town. He spent one month at Bell Close before moving to Crawley Town. In July 2004 he signed with Farnborough Town but left the club by mutual consent one month later having not played a game.

International career

Ready made appearances for both the Wales under-21 and B sides before making his senior debut on 11 February 1997 during a 0–0 draw with Republic of Ireland. He appeared in three of Wales' next seven matches before winning his fifth and final cap on 6 June 1998 in a 4–0 defeat against Tunisia.

Personal life
In November 1997, Ready and his friend were punched and kicked during a drunken street brawl in Bicester. One of his attackers was jailed for 28 days in May 1998.

In 2001, Ready was arrested for punching a taxi driver outside a nightclub in Barbados.
