title: Shylock (2020 film)

text: This film received mixed reviews. Sajin Shrijith of The New Indian Express gave 3.5 out of 5 stars stating "Shylock is an exuberant celebration of Mammootty, the star, that attempts to milk his charisma to the fullest". Anjana George of The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 stars stating "For the fans of 'mega star Mammootty', Shylock is a treat and for the followers of actor Mammootty, this is a complete 'no'."

Manoj Kumar R. of "The Indian Express" rated 1 out of 5 star and said: "You know this story. You know how things would pan out. And you know what happens to the bad guys even before the film arrives at its depressingly predictable climax".

title: Jaz Coleman

text: Jeremy "Jaz" Coleman (born 26 February 1960) is an English singer and musician. He came to prominence in the early 1980s as the lead vocalist and keyboardist of post-punk group Killing Joke.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: Coleman is known for his unique raspy baritone voice and intense stage presence (occasionally appearing wearing face makeup). Bill Janovitz, writer for the website Allmusic, described Coleman's stage presence and voice as "almost always full-on in his approach, with a terrifying growl of a voice that is similar to that of Motörhead's Lemmy". In the first part of their career, Coleman also played synth while singing, adding electronic atonal sounds to create a disturbing atmosphere to their music. He still continues to play keyboards and synths in studio recordings


title: Jaz Coleman

text: Killing Joke have influenced numerous bands such as Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Jane's Addiction, My Bloody Valentine, Faith No More, Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Godflesh, Soundgarden, Metallica and Marilyn Manson. James Hetfield picked Coleman as one of his favourite singers.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In November 2010, the band received the "Innovator Award" at the 2010 "Classic Rock" Roll of Honour; the award was presented to Killing Joke by admirer and friend Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, who stated, "I go back a long way with Jaz Coleman and the band. I used to go and see the band, and it was a band that really impressed me."


title: Jaz Coleman

text: Coleman was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, to Ronald A. and Gloria H. ("née" Pandy) Coleman: an English father and an Anglo-Indian mother of half-Bengali descent, both of whom were school teachers. He studied piano and violin under Eric Coleridge, head of music for Cheltenham College, until the age of 17, and was a member of several cathedral choirs in England. He later moved to and became a citizen of New Zealand.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: Coleman studied in Leipzig, East Germany, in 1978, and Cairo Conservatoire in 1979, completing an extensive study of Arabic quarter tones at the latter institution. According to his own account, Coleman also studied international banking for three years in Switzerland and is an ordained priest with a church in New Zealand.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In 1978, Coleman founded Killing Joke with drummer Paul Ferguson in Notting Hill, England. The pair then recruited guitarist Geordie Walker and bassist Martin Glover (aka Youth). The group released their first single in October 1979 and their first eponymous album was released in 1980. Coleman told biographer Jyrki "Spider" Hämäläinen that forming the band felt "it was the destiny". Coleman contributed lead vocals and keyboards to the band's songs, which are categorised as post-punk, and the music later inspired the industrial rock and metal genres.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: Coleman once quit Killing Joke temporarily following a gig in 1982; the day after, he travelled to Iceland and announced his intention to become a classical composer. Ten years of studying and ongoing Killing Joke involvement later, he commenced conducting and worked with some of the world's leading orchestras. Conductor Klaus Tennstedt described him as a "new Mahler".


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In 1990, in collaboration with Anne Dudley, Coleman released his first purely instrumental album entitled "Songs from the Victorious City", which is formally classified as "World Music", but is primarily composed of a mixture of middle eastern folk themes mixed with western pop-oriented themes.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In 1995, Coleman released his first of three albums of symphonic rock music: "", which peaked at number one in the Billboard Magazine Top Classical Crossover Albums chart, and "" were both written and produced by Coleman with Peter Scholes conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra. In June 2007, Coleman collaborated with over 150 youth musicians in the Contemporary Youth Orchestra, based in Cleveland, Ohio, to perform the entirety of "Kashmir: Symphonic Led Zeppelin" along with additional orchestrations of Led Zeppelin's music. In 1999, he produced and arranged an album of Doors material for orchestra, performed by classical musicians including Nigel Kennedy and the Prague Symphony Orchestra, called "Riders on the Storm: The Doors Concerto" (CD released in 2000). He has worked with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, who have issued a CD of his "Symphony No. 1 "Idavoll"" with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, and as composer-in-residence to the Prague Symphony Orchestra.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In 1999, Coleman and Maori singer Hinewehi Mohi formed Oceania (with Hirini Melbourne and many others) which recorded the album "Oceania". The record went double platinum in New Zealand. The song "Pukaea" appeared in the film "Year of the Devil" (2002). "Oceania II" appeared in 2002.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In 2001, Coleman was commissioned by the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden London for his first large scale opera entitled "The Marriage at Cana".


title: Jaz Coleman

text: Also commissioned by the Royal Opera House was Coleman's "Unwanted", a concerto grosso for violin, viola and string orchestra whose theme portrays the plight of the Romany people of central Europe. This work was in collaboration with Czech photographer Jana Tržilová, whose portraits of the Roma taken within her own country moved the composer with their deep compassion and humanity.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: On 22 March 2003, Coleman was commissioned by the Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter (ICAM) to compose a three-part concerto "Music of the Quantum", expressing the ideas of the quantum and emergence in musical form, which he co-produced with his elder brother, Piers Coleman (born 13 February 1958), who is a condensed matter physicist at Rutgers University.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: On 22 March, Sir Laurence Gardner's book "Secrets of the Lost Ark", which expounds on anti-gravity and prehistory, was published. Coleman and Gardner publicly exchanged their work (book and scores) at the Occulture Lectures in Brighton on 20 July 2003, a gesture appropriate to Coleman's interest in themes of renaissance, collaboration, and working in parallels.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: Also in 2003, Coleman completed a second work with Nigel Kennedy and the Kroke Trio in the role of friend and producer of their album, "East Meets East", released through EMI Classics.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In 2004 and 2005, Coleman arranged the Sarah Brightman album "Harem" and wrote a further 12 Arias to be recorded with her. He also continues with his work as composer in residence of the Prague Symphony Orchestra. In early 2006 Joseph McManners performed Coleman's "Daughter of England" at the Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic to standing ovation.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In 2009, Coleman recorded the "Nirvana Suite" with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, and played summer festivals across Europe with Killing Joke. Coleman travelled from Japan to South India with former bandmate Paul Raven's ashes and participated in Pradakshina. In December, Coleman's "Us and Them: Symphonic Pink Floyd" was performed at the Berlin Konzerthaus for the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Wall.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In 2010, Coleman completed his "Magna Suscitatio" for solo violin, chorus and full orchestra, which illustrates the process of transformation and illumination of the human condition "from our current barbaric state". Coleman also began work with the Prague Chamber Orchestra and was in discussion about a series of concerts. Coleman's second symphony, recorded by the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra, was due for release with the "Nirvana Suite".


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In 2014, Coleman began the year by conducting the NSO Symphony Orchestra (UAE) for the opening ceremony of the Dubai World Cup, which was broadcast to 160 countries. Later that year, Coleman recorded with the Moscow State Film Orchestra and performed his Zep Symphony some 30 kilometres outside St. Petersburg at Gatchina Palace for the White Night gala with the Minsk Philharmonic. One month later, Coleman recorded "The Nirvana Dialogues" with the St. Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra for Universal records. Due to the success of this recording, Coleman has entered into a two-year contract as composer-in-residence with the St. Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: Also in 2014, "Us and Them: Symphonic Pink Floyd" was performed by the Melbourne Ballet Orchestra on 22 October and 1 November.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: 2015 saw the release of Tambours du Bronx's album "Corros", featuring a collaboration with Coleman on the track "Human Smile".


title: Jaz Coleman

text: On 28 February 2016, Coleman gave a spoken word performance in Auckland, titled Going Over to the Dark Side', A light hearted look at the state of world affairs by the Dark Lord". Later in the year, his "Doors Concerto" was performed at the White Nights Festival in Saint Petersburg, Russia.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: 2016 also saw the release of the Levee Walkers, a collaboration between Coleman, Duff McKagan and Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready. McKagan stipulated who and what a Levee Walker is: "To become a Levee Walker you must have at least 25 years of musical experience, survived battles with the forces of darkness, and perhaps even kissed death on the cheek. More importantly, there must exist a deep reverence for the music of your comrades, and the commitment they made to this hardest of paths."


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In September 2016, Coleman was invited by the Etrange festival in Paris for a "carte blanche" programme of six films and a spoken word performance.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In 2002, Coleman starred (as himself) in a Czech film by Petr Zelenka "Rok ďábla" ("Year of the Devil"). The film was awarded the Crystal Globe at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. He also co-produced a documentary-style music film with Filmmaker Shaun Pettigrew called "The Death And Resurrection Show", named after a song on Killing Joke's 2003 album. The film was premiered at the British Film Institute on 19 February 2015.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: Together with Martin Williams and Malcolm Welsford, Coleman founded the York Street Studio in New Zealand. The studio was closed after Coleman produced the ninth album of New Zealand band Shihad, "FVEY", which was released in the second half of 2014.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: Coleman produced Shihad's debut album, "Churn"—also recorded at York Street—but a disagreement with the band occurred after the release of the album. Following a 15-year period in which Coleman and Shihad did not communicate, Coleman made amends with the band members at a London, UK awards ceremony. Shihad's lead singer and guitarist Jon Toogood explained in June 2014:


title: Jaz Coleman

text: We'd had a falling out, I just didn't have time for him [Coleman] ... I was like, "Fuck that guy". But he was softer—he doesn't drink alcohol anymore. He's still gnarly and idealistic and brutal but minus the alcohol that makes him this focused machine. It was just the perfect meeting of what we wanted to do and having the right guy to do it with.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: Prior to the recording of "FVEY", Coleman informed the band, "I'm going to work you until you've made a great record" and, after the completion of a two-month recording period, Toogood referred to the band's time with Coleman as a "bootcamp"; however, Toogood further explained that the band "needed someone to crack the whip" and he felt "purged" afterward.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In 2006, Coleman wrote a book about permaculture, free energy, freedom and freedom-loving individuals. Titled "Letters from Cythera", it was released in early 2014 and was described by Coleman as an overview of "how the occult sciences have shaped my philosophical outlook expounding on my preferred system for a personalized renaissance (the supersynthesis)"—Coleman stated that the book was written between 2007 and 2008. When asked to expound upon his "supersynthesis" concept, Coleman explained:


title: Jaz Coleman

text: [Supersynthesis is] the idea that we can stretch ourselves in 12 different directions all at once, and I put myself out as a guinea-pig and put myself through the paces and I’m in the process of sharing my results with people, to show how far I got. The thing about the super-synthesis is you choose one opus magnum, a huge work to do, then you chose 12 other non related projects that you’re meant to take to mastery and so I’ve finished pretty much everything and now is the execution of all of these – some of which I’ve done …


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In the wake of the book's publishing, Coleman did a spoken word performance at London's St Pancras Old Church on 17 June 2015.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: In 2001, Coleman recorded the multi-platinum album "Proměny" with Czech band Čechomor, which won three Anděl (Angel) awards.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: Coleman was made Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture for his contribution to contemporary music, and was decorated by the French government on 27 September 2010, while Killing Joke were in concert at the Bataclan theatre in Paris.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: On 24th November 2021, Coleman’s contribution to both contemporary and classical music was recognised by the University of Gloucestershire by awarding him an Honorary Doctorate of Music.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: Coleman is a supporter of the concept of environmental sustainability and has invested in the creation of two ecovillages in the South Pacific and in Chile.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: He has three daughters. The eldest lives in Switzerland and the two younger ones live in New Zealand.


title: Jaz Coleman

text: It's different from 30 years ago. There's no rebellion left. Everyone is just a passive zombie. Food supply has something to do with it – it's dumbed down everyone to obese, lethargic corpses ... People are worn down ... It's a fragmented society. People have access now to amazing amounts of information, but their attention spans are getting shorter, their focus is gone. Instant gratification. Instant knowledge orgasm! I think that a lot of the great thinkers couldn't achieve what they did through a computer.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: The Arizona Wildcats football program represents the University of Arizona (UA) in the sport of American college football. Arizona competes in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the South Division of the Pac-12 Conference (Pac-12). They play their home games at Arizona Stadium, which opened in 1929 on the university's campus in Tucson, Arizona, and has a capacity of 50,782. The team is coached by Jedd Fisch.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: Arizona's inaugural season was in 1889. The school joined the Pac-10 Conference in 1978 alongside rival Arizona State, and became a member of the Pac-12 South Division when the conference realigned in 2011.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: The Wildcats have won six conference championships (including the 1993 Pac-10 title) and made 21 bowl appearances, one of which are among the New Year's Six Bowls.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: The varsity football program at the University of Arizona began in 1899, though the Wildcats nickname was not adopted until later. Stuart Forbes became the first head coach of Arizona football history and the team compiled a 1–1–1 record. From 1900 to 1901, William W. Skinner served as head football coach at the University of Arizona. While there, he also studied geology. He guided Arizona to 3–1 and 4–1 records, respectively. On November 7, 1914, the team traveled to the west coast to play Occidental, then one of the reigning gridiron powers in California. Occidental won 14–0. Arizona later received the name "Wildcats" after a "Los Angeles Times" correspondent, Bill Henry, wrote that "The Arizona men showed the fight of wildcats". Pop McKale was a very successful high school coach in the Tucson area when he was hired at UA. In 1921, Drop-kicker/receiver Harold "Nosey" McClellan led the nation in scoring with 124 points. Wildcats finished the regular season 7–1, and were invited to UA's first bowl game, the East-West Christmas Classic in San Diego, to play powerhouse Centre College of Kentucky; Arizona lost the game 38–0. The Wildcats did not compete in football in 1918 due to World War I. On October 18, 1926, UA quarterback and student body president John "Button" Salmon died from injuries sustained in a car wreck. His final words, spoken to coach "Pop" McKale, were: "Tell them...tell the team to Bear Down." Soon thereafter, the UA student body adopted "Bear Down" as the school's athletic motto. On October 18, 1929, Arizona opened up Arizona Stadium for college football play. They won their first game against Caltech with a shutout score of 25–0. McKale retired after sixteen seasons at Arizona. The McKale Center, the University of Arizona's home basketball venue, was opened in 1973 and named in McKale's honor. vFred Enke replaced McKale as head coach of the Wildcats and in one season as head coach, he posted a record of 3–5–1 before getting demoted to assistant coach. Gus Farwick served as the head football coach at the University of Arizona in 1932, compiling a record of 4–5 before his resignation. Tex Oliver coached the Arizona Wildcats to a 32–11–4 record in five seasons. During that stretch, his teams never had a losing season. Oliver's "Blue Brigade" played an expanded, more nationwide schedule, and Arizona produced their first All-Americans under Oliver. The team's 1938 record of 8–2 was a school best to date. Oliver resigned after the 1937 season to accept the head football coach position at Oregon. Orian Landreth replaced Oliver and struggled in his one season as head coach, compiling a 3–6 record before he was fired. That season was the first losing season for the Wildcats in several years. Mike Casteel came to Arizona from his post as an assistant coach at Michigan State. In his eight seasons (Arizona did not field football teams in 1943 or 1944 due to World War II), Casteel compiled a 46–26–3 record and led the Wildcats to the first bowl berth in three decades in his final season, a loss in the 1949 Salad Bowl to Drake. Bob Winslow served as Arizona's head football coach for three seasons, posting a record of 12–18–1, with the team improving every year under his tutelage, going 2–7–1, 4–6 and 6–5 in Winslow's three years. Winslow resigned after three seasons.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: In 1954, under coach Warren Woodson, who came to Arizona from Hardin–Simmons, the Wildcats were led by starting halfback Art Luppino. He went on to lead the nation in rushing, scoring, all-purpose running, and kickoff returns. Luppino became the first player in NCAA history to lead the nation in rushing twice. He also tied for the national title in all-purpose running and was third in scoring. Woodson was replaced after five seasons and a 26–22–2 record and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1989. Ed Doherty came to Arizona from his post as an assistant coach for the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles. In two seasons, Doherty compiled a record of 4–15–1 before getting fired. Doherty is the only person to serve as head football coach at both Arizona and archrival Arizona State. Jim LaRue, formerly running backs coach at Houston, was hired to take over the program as head coach after Doherty's firing. LaRue's 1961 team finished 8–1–1 and finished the season ranked No. 17 in the final AP Poll. After that season, Arizona joined the Western Athletic Conference and LaRue's teams posted records of 5–5, 5–5, 6–3–1, 3–7 and 3–7 before LaRue was fired, largely because of the sub-par on-the-field performances but also pressure from fans and alumni.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: Darrell Mudra came to Arizona from North Dakota State. His first team posted a record of 3–6–1 but in his second year, Mudra's Wildcats posted a record of 8–3, capped with a loss in the 1968 Sun Bowl, only the Wildcats third bowl appearance in school history and first since 1949. Mudra left Arizona after two seasons to accept the head football coach position at Western Illinois. His final record is 11–9–1. Mudra was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 2000. Bob Weber was promoted from offensive coordinator to head coach following Mudra's departure. Under Weber, the Wildcats were 16–26, with their best season being a 5–6 1971 season. Weber failed to post a winning season as Arizona's head coach and was fired after four seasons.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: Jim Young, formerly defensive coordinator at Michigan, was hired to turn around the downtrodden Wildcats football program. Improvement came immediately, as Young's team surprised the nation with an 8–3 record in his first season and shared the WAC title with rival Arizona State, but did not go to a bowl game due to them losing the tiebreaker to ASU (at the time, only the outright conference winner earned a bowl since there were fewer bowl games available, unless a team from the same conference appears in a major bowl). Young's Wildcats went on to post records of 9–2 in 1974 and 1975, the latter ending with a No. 13 and No. 18 ranking in the Coaches' and AP Polls, respectively (like in 1973, both seasons ended in no bowl appearances for the Wildcats due to them finishing second in the WAC). In a rebuilding year, Young's team posted a 5–6 record in 1976 to cap Young's mark of 31–13 in four seasons. Young departed Arizona after the 1976 season to accept the head football coach position at Purdue. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1999. Tony Mason came to Arizona from Cincinnati. Under Mason, the Wildcats went 5–7, 5–6 and 6–5–1 for a combined record of 16–18–1. In Mason's third and final season, the Wildcats played in the Fiesta Bowl, a game they lost. Mason was let go as head coach in early 1980 due to an alleged slush fund scandal involving him and the program during his tenure.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: Larry Smith, previously head coach at Tulane, was hired to take over the Arizona football program to replace Mason. His first season was Arizona's third in the Pac-10 Conference. Smith put great emphasis on in-state recruiting, built up the rivalry game with ASU, and focused the team on what he called "running and hitting". His first team went 5–6, including a 44–7 blowout loss to ASU; it would be his only losing season at Arizona. The highlight of the season was a 23–17 upset of 2nd ranked UCLA (the Bruins were poised to become No. 1 as top ranked Alabama had lost earlier in the day). The team improved to 6–5 during his second season, highlighted by a major 13–10 upset of No. 1 USC on the road. Under his leadership, the Wildcats became competitive in the conference, began dominating the rivalry with the Sun Devils, and culminated with consecutive bowl appearances in the 1985 Sun Bowl, where a tie with Georgia gave the Wildcats an 8–3–1 record, and the 1986 Aloha Bowl, where a victory over North Carolina allowed the Wildcats to win their very first bowl game and to finish with a 9–3 record in his final season. Smith's tenure with the Wildcats ended with a 48–28–3 record. Seven Arizona players earned All-America honors during his tenure, including two-time consensus All-American linebacker Ricky Hunley and All-Americans linebacker Lamonte Hunley (Ricky's younger brother), Morris Trophy-winning center Joe Tofflemire, safety Allan Durden, placekicker Max Zendejas (who is known for kicking game-winning field goals against Arizona State in 1983 and 1985), linebacker Byron Evans, and safety Chuck Cecil (who is known for returning an interception for a touchdown against ASU in 1986). Over twenty of Smith's Wildcats players went on to play professionally. Smith departed after the 1986 season to accept the head football coach position at conference foe USC. Smith died in 2008 and was voted as the second-best Wildcat football coach only behind his successor, Dick Tomey.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: In 1987, Tomey arrived in Arizona from Hawaii after ten seasons as the Rainbow Warriors head football coach to replace Smith. During his 14-season tenure with Arizona, he coached five future NFL first-round draft choices, 20 All-Americans, and 43 Pac-10 first team players.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: His best teams were in the mid-1990s, highlighted by a tenacious defense nicknamed "Desert Swarm." He led Arizona to the first two ten-win seasons in school history, highlighted by a 12–1 campaign in 1998, where the program finished fourth in both major polls, the highest ranking in school history. Unfortunately, the Wildcats were drubbed in the 1999 season opener against Penn State and never recovered; Tomey resigned after the 2000 season. His 95 wins are the most in Wildcats history.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: In 1992, Coach Tomey's "Desert Swarm" defense was characterized by tough, hard-nosed tactics. UA led the nation in scoring defense and nose guard Rob Waldrop is a consensus All-American. The season included an upset victory over top-ranked Washington, which fans called the biggest Arizona win in the decade. In 1993, the team had its first 10-win season and won a share of the Pac-10 title. They would defeat Miami in the 1994 Fiesta Bowl by a score of 29–0. It was the bowl game's only shutout in its then 23-year history. The dominant defense, led by Waldrop and linebacker Tedy Bruschi, led the nation in total defense and rushing yards allowed. In 1994, Arizona was ranked No. 6. However, Arizona was upset by Colorado State and the rest of the season went down along with it. After mediocre seasons from 1995 to 1997, the 1998 team posted a school-record 12–1 season (see above) and made the Holiday Bowl in which the Wildcats defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Arizona ended that season ranked fourth nationally in the coaches and Associated Press poll. The 1998 Holiday Bowl was televised on ESPN and set the now-surpassed record of being the most watched of any bowl game in that network's history. In 2000, Tomey's Wildcats suffered a season-ending 30–17 loss to Arizona State, the Wildcats' arch-rival. Tomey resigned under pressure after fourteen seasons as head coach of the Wildcats. The Wildcat football declined in wins and went on a bowl game drought over the next several years. Tomey was rated as the best Wildcat football coach in school history and he died in 2019, eleven years after his predecessor, Smith.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: Former Illinois and Texas head coach John Mackovic was hired to replace Tomey. Mackovic was a college football analyst at ESPN at the time of his hiring.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: Mackovic's tenure became a disaster, as he alienated his players and failed to post a winning record in two and one-half seasons in Tucson. Also, he finished with a 10–18 record (a .357 winning percentage) and never took his teams to bowl games. In his first season, the Wildcats narrowly missed a bowl game. Midway through the 2002 season, Mackovic told tight end Justin Levasseur that he was a disgrace to his family. Levasseur was arrested later that year with 87 pounds of marijuana This and other incidents led 40 players (including future Pro Bowler Lance Briggs) to hold a secret meeting with school president Peter Likins. The players complained about Mackovic's constant verbal abuse, such as an ugly tirade after a loss to Wisconsin. Mackovic offered a public apology to his players, the university and fans. However, whatever goodwill that he'd managed to restore quickly evaporated in 2003. Many players had lost their love for the game due to Mackovic's brusque manner and fans chanted “Fire Mackovic” during games. Five games into the season, Mackovic was fired and replaced on an interim basis by defensive coordinator Mike Hankwitz for the rest of the season. School officials said they had to act because it was obvious the Wildcats would not win with Mackovic at the helm. Mackovic was known as the worst Arizona coach in history (his predecessor, Tomey, was the best). Arizona also had poor recruiting in the Mackovic era that led to bad results, and the 2003 season was the worst in program history with a record of 2–10, with the ten losses being a school record.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: In 2004, Arizona hired Oklahoma defensive coordinator Mike Stoops, brother of famed Oklahoma head football coach Bob Stoops, to become the Wildcats’ 28th football coach. Stoops was hired to rebuild the team and to clean up the program's mess caused by Mackovic's troubles. Arizona began rebuilding and went 3–8 in Stoops’ first two seasons, which included upset victories over Arizona State in 2004 and UCLA in 2005. However, due to his record at the time, Stoops’ job was in critical danger and his margin for error was very thin. However, in his third season in 2006, Stoops led the Wildcats to an improved 6–6 record, the first non-losing season for the school since 1999 when the Wildcats went 6–6. The Wildcats upset California and became bowl-eligible. However, a loss to Arizona State and a losing conference record prevented them from earning a bowl bid.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: After a mediocre 2007 season which included an upset over Oregon, the Wildcats improved in 2008 and earned their first bowl berth in a decade, defeating BYU by a score of 31–21. In 2009, the Wildcats earned their second straight bowl berth and a second straight eight-win season. Arizona was defeated 33–0 by Nebraska in a rematch of the 1998 Holiday Bowl. Following the Holiday Bowl, offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes left the Wildcat program to become the head coach at Louisiana Tech, and defensive coordinator Mark Stoops, a brother of both Mike and Bob, became the defensive coordinator at Florida State and later became a future head coach at Kentucky. To replace them, Mike Stoops promoted Bill Bedenbaugh and Seth Littrell to co-offensive coordinators, while promoting Tim Kish to be co-defensive coordinators with Greg Brown, who was hired from Colorado.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: The Wildcats began the 2010 season with high expectations and became possible contenders for a Rose Bowl berth. However, they collapsed late in the season and lost to Oklahoma State in the Alamo Bowl by a score of 37–10. In 2011, the Wildcats began the season hoping to rebound and Stoops being placed on the hot seat. After starting the season with a win against Northern Arizona), Arizona would lose four in a row and fans became incensed by the team's performance and began calling for Stoops’ firing. After another loss in early October, Stoops was fired as coach. Including the prior season, the Wildcats under Stoops had lost 10 consecutive games against FBS opponents, with their last victory over a FBS team taking place nearly a year earlier on October 30, 2010, against UCLA. Arizona said that Stoops’ firing was a result of “the inability to win more games, weak recruiting, and being unable to achieve the team’s goal to make a Rose Bowl appearance”, as well as Stoops’ frequently misbehavior towards officials on the sidelines (which was often seen on TV broadcasts of Arizona games). Tim Kish, the team's defensive coordinator, was named interim head coach for the remainder of the season. (Stoops returned to the Sooner program soon thereafter as defensive coordinator; Kish, who had known the Stoops brothers for many years, followed Stoops and joined the Sooner staff as the linebackers coach.) Under Kish, the Wildcats partially rebounded and won three of the final six games to finish with a 4–8 record. The later years of the Stoops era featured quarterback Nick Foles breaking Arizona records, including the single-season and career records for most passing yards and touchdowns. Foles would win a future Super Bowl in 2017 for the Philadelphia Eagles.

text: On November 21, 2011, Arizona announced the hiring of Rich Rodriguez, at that time a CBS Sports college football analyst and formerly the head coach at Michigan and West Virginia, to become Arizona's 30th head football coach. Rodriguez is considered a pioneer of a no huddle, run-oriented version of the spread offense, although a pass-first version was already being implemented by others.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: Rodriguez' hiring ended a 41-day search for a head coach which started following Mike Stoops' dismissal after eight seasons as Wildcat head coach. Following West Virginia's victory in the Orange Bowl in 2011, the Mountaineers defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel, who coached under Rodriguez during his tenure there, departed WVU's staff to join Rodriguez' staff as the Wildcats' defensive coordinator. An official announcement, and Casteel's formal introduction to the Tucson media, was made on January 13, 2012. Casteel is considered one of the top defensive coaches in the nation, and considered master of the 3–3–5 "odd stack" defense. In his first season, Rodriguez took the Wildcats to the New Mexico Bowl, where they defeated Nevada in a comeback victory. The Wildcats finished the 2012 campaign with a (8–5, 4–5 Pac-12) record, which included an upset win over USC.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: In his second season, Rodriguez took the Wildcats to the Independence Bowl, where they defeated Boston College. The Wildcats finished the 2013 campaign with a (8–5, 4–5 Pac-12) record. Major highlights of the season included a big upset victory over Oregon and the performance of running back Ka’Deem Carey, who set Arizona records for rushing yards and touchdowns scored. In 2014, Rich Rodriguez led the Wildcats to a 10–3 regular season, behind generally solid team performance, including efforts from freshman QB Anu Solomon, sophomore LB Scooby Wright III (who earned Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year among other honors), senior RB Terris Jones-Grigsby, and freshman RB Nick Wilson. The Wildcats won the Pac-12 South Division, the first divisional championship in program history, advancing to the conference title game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, where they were dominated by Oregon, 51–13, and led Oregon to clinching a spot in the inaugural College Football Playoff. The Wildcats earned a berth in the Fiesta Bowl, the school's third major-bowl appearance, where they faced the Boise State Broncos, and lost 38–30. The Wildcats finished the 2014 season with a record of 10–4 (7–2 Pac-12), achieving only the third 10-win season in program history and their first since 1998. They also finished the season ranked No. 17 in the "USA Today" Coaches Poll and No. 19 in the AP Poll. Highlights of the regular season included a comeback win over California on a Hail Mary touchdown pass, upsetting Oregon for the second year in a row, defeating Washington on a last-second field goal, and outlasting Arizona State for the division championship (Oregon would get revenge on the Wildcats in the Pac-12 title game, leading Arizona to the Fiesta Bowl).


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: In 2015, Rodriguez's Wildcats finished with a record of 7–6 (3–6 in Pac-12). The Wildcats upset Utah in the regular season and defeated old rival New Mexico in the New Mexico Bowl by a score of 45–37. In 2016, the Wildcats finished with a record of 3–9 (1–8 in Pac-12), thus ineligible for a bowl game. Injuries and a poor defense affected the team's chances of winning and had lost eight consecutive games before defeating rival Arizona State in the season finale. In 2017, they lost to Purdue in the Foster Farms Bowl, the Wildcats 21st bowl game. The Wildcats finished with a record of 7–6 (5–4 Pac-12). During the season, the performance of sophomore QB Khalil Tate was especially impressive; after an injury to starter Brandon Dawkins in the October 7 road game at Colorado, Tate took over and proceeded to run for 327 yards, a single-game FBS record for quarterbacks, breaking the previous record of Northern Illinois' Jordan Lynch set in 2013. Tate was awarded the Pac-12 Offensive player of the week and would be named the starting quarterback. Tate then led the Wildcats to consecutive victories over UCLA, Cal, and Washington State. Tate was named Pac-12 Offensive player of the week for four consecutive weeks – setting a conference record, and leading to his briefly being spoken of as a candidate for the Heisman Trophy.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: Rodriguez was dismissed as head coach on January 2, 2018, in the wake of an internal university investigation of sexual harassment claims made by Rodriguez' former administrative assistant. Other factors in Rodriguez being fired was the lack of winning enough games that mattered as well as not bringing in elite recruiting classes to the program. Arizona was forced to find a new coach to rebuild the program.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: Kevin Sumlin was hired on January 14, 2018, as the Wildcats’ 31st head football coach. Sumlin was previously head coach at Texas A&M University and the University of Houston. Sumlin became the first African-American coach to lead the Wildcat football program.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: In his first season, Sumlin instituted a new offense and the Wildcats struggled to a 5–7 (4–5 in Pac-12) record. In 2019, with returning QB Khalil Tate, Arizona went 4–1 early in the season but finished the season with a 4–8 record (2–7 in Pac-12) record including another rivalry loss to Arizona State. In 2020, the Wildcats played a truncated season with a conference-only schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The season followed an offseason of poor recruiting and players taking COVID-19 opt-outs and Sumlin being placed on the hot seat. Arizona continued to struggle on the field under Sumlin's watch and was embarrassed by rival Arizona State. Sumlin was fired after the season concluded and finished with a 0–3 record against ASU. The sportswriters of the campus newspaper, the "Arizona Daily Wildcat", expressed disapproval with Sumlin's leadership, the lack of production on defense, lack of quarterback protection, a toxic atmosphere in the locker room, players losing their enthusiasm, failure to bring in top-caliber recruits and an overall decline in the reputation of the Wildcat program; it was also implied that connections to the Tucson community, and local and regional high school football coaches, suffered under Sumlin's tenure. Wildcat defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads (a former head coach at Iowa State) served as the team's interim head coach; Rhoads joined the staff of the Ohio State football program in February.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: Soon after Sumlin was fired at the conclusion of the 2020 season, Arizona conducted a national coaching search. Former college and NFL coach Jedd Fisch (most recently the QB coach for the New England Patriots) was chosen as the Wildcats’ 32nd head football coach, as announced on December 23, 2020. Fisch and San Jose State coach Brent Brennan (a former assistant under Wildcat coach Dick Tomey in his final year in Tucson, as well for a few seasons at San Jose State) were the two finalists for the opening. Fisch has previous ties to University of Arizona president Dr. Robert Robbins. Fisch has extensive NFL assistant coaching experience (for five different franchises) and previously was a collegiate assistant at UCLA, Michigan, Minnesota and Miami. In Fisch's first season, the Wildcats earned a 1–11 record (1–8 in Pac-12 play), with their lone win (ending a 20-game losing streak) coming at home against California on November 6 (several players and coaches on the Golden Bears were out because of COVID-19).


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: Arizona has appeared in 21 bowl games, posting an overall record of 9–11-1. The team's most recent appearance in a bowl game was a 45–37 win against New Mexico at the 2015 New Mexico Bowl.

text: The team's first bowl game was the 1968 Sun Bowl, under coach Darrell Mudra. The Wildcats lost to the Auburn Tigers 34–10 in that contest. The team's next bowl game came in 1993 when Arizona began a streak of 5 straight bowl appearances under coach Dick Tomey that lasted through the 1998 season. This is the 5th-longest bowl streak in college football history.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: The University of Arizona's athletic program operated with a limited budget for the first several years after its establishment in 1899. To reduce travel costs, early Arizona football teams played limited slates of games, mostly against squads from nearby schools. Local scheduling resulted in the development of gridiron rivalries with several in-state private colleges, most notably Arizona State and Northern Arizona.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: The primary rival of the Wildcats is Arizona State. Both teams are members of the South Division of the Pac-12. The annual matchup the two schools is known as the "Duel in the Desert." The winner receives the Territorial Cup trophy. Originating in 1899, the Wildcats lost the first game by a score of 11–2. Arizona leads the series at 50–45–1 through the end of the 2021 season.


title: Arizona Wildcats football

text: A major rival of the Wildcats in the 1900s was against the New Mexico Lobos. The series was intense until the annual matchup was canceled after the 1990 season. Both teams have met twice in bowl games, with Arizona winning both, as they won the 1997 Insight.com Bowl and the 2015 New Mexico Bowl. Arizona leads the head-to-head series at 44–20–3 with the most recent game played in 2015.

title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: The Patriot of Ukraine () was an ultranationalist organization in Ukraine founded in 1999, disbanded in 2004, revived in 2005 and defunct since December 2014. The group was described as having racist, fascist and/or neo-Nazi political beliefs.


title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: In its original form, it was launched in 1999 and became paramilitary wing of the Social-National Party of Ukraine (SNPU), and dissolved in 2004 when the latter rebranded in a less extremist form as Svoboda. Members of the Patriot of Ukraine refused to disband, and in 2005 Andriy Biletsky relaunched Pariot of Ukraine and it expanded into a political movement with national reach.


title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: In its 2005 incarnation, it was affiliated to the Social-National Assembly of Ukraine (S.N.A.), an assemblage of far right organizations and groups founded in 2008 that share the social-national ideology and agree upon building a social-national state in Ukraine. Both the Patriot of Ukraine and the S.N.A. engaged in political violence against minorities and their political opponents.


title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: In an interview to the Left Bank on 10 December 2014, Biletsky announced that the Patriot of Ukraine as political organization suspended its activities due to the war situation in the country and dissolved primarily within the Azov Battalion. The group was one of the constituent elements of the party Svoboda.


title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: In 2016, former members of the Azov Battalions and the Patriot of Ukraine founded a new party named National Corps.


title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: The origin of the Patriot of Ukraine can be traced to Lviv where the Association of Support for the Armed Forces and Navy of Ukraine Patriot Ukrayiny () was registered on 10 June 1996 as a civic association, registration number 375.


title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: The First Congress of the Patriot of Ukraine was held in Lviv on 12 December 1999 where it was officially adopted by the Social-National Party of Ukraine (SNPU) as its paramilitary youth wing. In the evening, around 1500 members of the SNPU and the Patriot of Ukraine staged a torchlight demonstration in the city. The first leader of the organization became Andriy Parubiy, who established a long-lasting tradition of torchlight parades, which became an organizational trademark. At that time Parubiy gained national notoriety in Ukraine after he was put on trial for alleged assault on communist demonstrators in Lviv on 7 November 1997. The main TV channels in Ukraine broadcast footage of Parubiy clashing with the demonstrators. The trial was dragged, moved around, and finally the case was dismissed due to the statute of limitations. A photo of Parubiy leading the Patriot of Ukraine march was placed on the cover of his book published in Lviv in 1999.


title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: The Patriot of Ukraine was dissolved by the SNPU on 14 February 2004, when the Ninth Congress of the SNPU adopted the new name of VO Svoboda and elected Oleh Tyahnybok as its leader. Aiming at building a parliamentary type of political organization with an image of the "party of order", Svoboda had shaken off some old baggage, including Wolfsangel-type logo, which was replaced with the national colors and a trident (trizub) hand gesture (three raised fingers), the so-called "Trident of Liberty".


title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: The original Patriot of Ukraine organization was also discarded since Svoboda wanted to appeal to a broader base of the Ukrainian electorate. Eventually, while still remaining a radical nationalist party, Svoboda was able to benefit from its new strategy. First, it scored wins at the 2010 Ukrainian local elections in three regions of western Ukraine, then it won 10.5% of the national vote during the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election and created its own parliamentary faction in the Verkhovna Rada.


title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: In 2005 the organisation was re-established. The Patriot of Ukraine defined itself as a "revolutionary vanguard of the Ukrainian social-nationalistic movement". The organization uses the Wolfsangel symbol, the difference is the color of the monogram as the SNPU used azure (blue) monogram on gold and the Patriot of Ukraine utilizes sable (black) on gold and gold on sable.


title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: In 2007, the organization officially ended its relationship with Svoboda, a direct descendant to the Social-National Party of Ukraine.


title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: Despite the split some prominent Svoboda's members such as Andriy Illienko, Chairman of the Kiev City Branch of the Vo Svoboda (Freedom) All-Ukrainian Union and a member of the Verhovna Rada, continued to advocate social-nationalism and idea of the two revolutions (national and social) which created a common ground with the Patriot of Ukraine.


title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: Some researchers pointed to the fact that even after the declarative break-up, VO Svoboda continued to benefit:


title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: in 2008, Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group issued a public letter, denouncing Patriot of Ukraine's activity in Kharkiv. In it, it compared actions that Patriot of Ukraine had conducted against foreign students to similar behavior in Russia neo-nazi groups. The group noted openly racist and xenophobic writings by Patriot of Ukraine ideologue Oleh Odnorozhenko on the group's website.


title: Patriot of Ukraine

text: In August 2011, three Patriot of Ukraine supporters were arrested and convicted in the so-called Vasylkiv terrorists case, in which three members in Kharkiv attempted to blow up a statue of Vladimir Lenin. At the same time, there was an armed assault on the headquarters of Patriot of Ukraine in Kharkiv during which two members were wounded, while the assailant was injured. Patriot of Ukraine members were arrested and charged with an attempted murder on 11 September 2011. On 19 November 2011, there was an attempt on Biletsky's life when he was fired upon in Kharkiv receiving two bullet wounds. Biletsky managed to bring himself to the city hospital where he was operated upon. The local law enforcement classified the event as hooliganism. On 27 December 2011, Biletsky was also arrested on the same charges along with other Patriot of Ukraine members and was held in detention at the Kharkiv investigation jail (remand) for 28 months.

title: Asiago cheese

text: Asiago ( or ; ) is a cow's milk cheese, first produced in Italy, that can assume different textures according to its aging, from smooth for the fresh Asiago (called , which means 'Pressed Asiago') to a crumbly texture for the aged cheese (, which means 'Breeding farm Asiago'). The aged cheese is often grated in salads, soups, pastas, and sauces while the fresh Asiago is sliced to prepare panini or sandwiches; it can also be melted on a variety of dishes and cantaloupe. It is classified as a Swiss-type or Alpine cheese.


title: Asiago cheese

text: In Italy, Asiago has a protected designation of origin ("Denominazione di Origine Protetta" or DOP, see below), as Asiago was originally produced around the alpine area of the Asiago plateau, in the regions of Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige. Asiago cheese is one of the most typical products of the Veneto region. It was, and still is, the most popular and widely used cheese in the DOP area where it is produced. The DOP production area is strictly defined: It starts from the meadows of the Po Valley and finishes in the Alpine pastures between the Asiago plateau and the Trentino's highlands. The DOP designated area where the milk is collected and Asiago DOP cheese is produced extends to four provinces in the north-east of Italy: the entire area of Vicenza and Trento and part of the provinces of Padua and Treviso. Asiago cheese which is produced and matured in dairies located more than above sea level, using milk from farms also more than above sea level, is entitled to the additional label "Product of the Mountains".


title: Asiago cheese

text: Over time, production of asiago was initiated in other countries as well, particularly those with a history of notable immigration from Italy. As such, production of the cheese has spread around the globe and the term “asiago” describes a style of cheese that can be produced anywhere.


title: Asiago cheese

text: Between the 10th and 15th centuries sheep raising was the predominant agricultural activity in the Asiago plateau – which was known for its pastures – the purpose of which was the production of savory cheeses (originally called "Pegorin"), and wool production, destined for the textile works of the near valley (Valdagno, Schio, Piovene Rocchette). In the 1700s Asiago production was expanded to surrounding areas; by the 18th and 19th century during long maturation Asiago d'Allevo was produced. It wasn't until the early 1900s that the shorter maturation Asiago Pressato was produced.


title: Asiago cheese

text: Bartolomeo Platina wrote "goat's milk is excellent, ewe's milk is next, with cow's milk is in third place".


title: Asiago cheese

text: Sheep started being replaced by cattle around 1500 as a consequence of the modernization of breeding techniques (especially thanks to the passage from the exploitation of the pasture to the care of the cut lawns); only in the 19th Century did bovine milk replace that of sheep in this region's cheeses.


title: Asiago cheese

text: During this period, traditional cheese-making techniques, still preserved in the farms of the Plateau, were improved. Thanks to modern technology they also spread to the small and mid-sized dairies spread out in the territory of Asiago. Asiago cheese production remained predominant in the Asiago Plateau until the nineteenth century. Afterward, the production was also adopted in the neighboring lowland zone and in the farms of Trentino.


title: Asiago cheese

text: Among the greatest causes of the spread were war events that caused a significant depopulation of the zone. Asiago was on the border with the Austrian Empire and was an area of contention and large-scale pitched battles, both during Napoleon's Italian campaign and during the First and Second World Wars. Asiago cheese was often traded alongside native Italian fowl, such as seahawks – traders often received far more valuable browned corn husks or cobs.


title: Asiago cheese

text: Asiago was introduced into the United States by Italian immigrants in the 1920s and became well known in the late 20th and early 21st century for its use in shredded cheese blends and as a topping on the eponymous "asiago bagel."


title: Asiago cheese

text: The Consorzio Tutela Formaggio Asiago, which is based in Vicenza, was set up in 1979 to guarantee the quality of Asiago cheese, to ensure that designations, markings and seals are used correctly and to raise awareness of the cheese in Italy and abroad. It represents more than forty cheese makers and cheese aging facilities.


title: Asiago cheese

text: This type is produced by using fresh whole milk. The first step is heating milk at . Specific enzymes, like rennet and lipase, are then added as liquid solution and the milk starts to coagulate. The curd is kneaded and partially cooked. The curd is broken into many little pieces (of the size of a nut), whereupon the curd is cooked again at approximately . Later, this mixture is poured into molds with perforated walls; afterwards there is a first dry salting and then the mold is squeezed with a press, usually hydraulic, for about four hours. Then the rounds are wrapped laterally with plastic bands (which put the brand Asiago around the entire form) and are placed in a room called "Frescura" for two to three days to dry.


title: Asiago cheese

text: At this point the bands are removed to allow one last curing by a bath in brine for a period of two days. Then the forms are allowed to rest in a dry environment for a period ranging from 20 to 40 days. The finished cheese has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of and height about . The average weight of a wheel is . The rind is thin and elastic; the paste inside is soft, buttery, white or slightly yellowish.


title: Asiago cheese

text: This type is produced by using a mixture of whole milk and skimmed milk. First the raw milk is heated to about and rennet and enzymes are added as a liquid solution to make it coagulate. The batter obtained is then kneaded and partially cooked; the curd is broken into many small parts (of the size of a grain of rice). At this stage there are two other firings: to . The paste is removed from the heat and stirred with a large whisk, then the curd is extracted and placed into molds lined with cheese cloth for forming. It is divided up and left to rest for a couple of hours on a draining table and then the cheese is turned several times. Next, in the pre-salting stage, the last whey is removed and the DOP logo is impressed onto the side. This process takes a couple of days (at least 48 hours) and during this time the wheels are turned several times. The cheese is then salted in one of two ways, either by spreading salt over the surface of the cheese or by soaking it in brine. The last step is the ageing process, which lasts at least 60 days and must take place within the area of origin, and is done in warehouses where the storage temperature and relative humidity are meticulously controlled (optimal values are and 80-85%).


title: Asiago cheese

text: Within the EU, Asiago cheese is an Italian D.O.P. product (Denominazione di Origine Protetta), equivalent to a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). This simply means that the product can be considered as "authentic" by European law if and only if it is produced in its specific origin area, and according to a specific regime, known as the "Disciplinare di produzione". The EU law does not apply outside the European Union. Previously it had enjoyed protected status in a number of European countries with which Italy had bilateral agreements under the "Denominazione d’Origine" awarded by the presidential decree of 21 December 1978 and subsequently modified by the prime-ministerial decree of 3 August 1993 and by the ministerial decree of 6 June 1995, under which the current "Disciplinare" came into force.


title: Asiago cheese

text: The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has ruled clearly and repeatedly that asiago is a generic term, citing widespread use of the term by multiple companies to describe a type of cheese, not a unique product produced solely in Italy. In 2019, the Consorzio Tutela Formaggio Asiago abandoned efforts to trademark “asiago” in the United States following the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's rejection of a trademark application on the grounds that “asiago” is a generic term. Similar efforts to trademark the term “asiago” have been struck down by IP Australia in 2018.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: To be mentioned in dispatches (or despatches, MiD) describes a member of the armed forces whose name appears in an official report written by a superior officer and sent to the high command, in which their gallant or meritorious action in the face of the enemy is described.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: In some countries, a service member's name must be mentioned in dispatches as a condition for receiving certain decorations.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: Servicemen and women of the British Empire or the Commonwealth who are mentioned in despatches (MiD) are not awarded a medal for their actions, but receive a certificate and wear an oak leaf device on the ribbon of the appropriate campaign medal. A smaller version of the oak leaf device is attached to the ribbon when worn alone. Prior to 2014, only one device could be worn on a ribbon, irrespective of the number of times the recipient was mentioned in despatches. Where no campaign medal is awarded, the oak leaf is worn directly on the coat after any medal ribbons. In the British Armed Forces, the despatch is published in the "London Gazette".


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: Prior to 1914, no decoration existed to signify a mention in despatches, although sometimes a medal for gallantry could be awarded in its place.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: For 1914–1918 and up to 10 August 1920, the device consisted of a spray of oak leaves in bronze worn on the ribbon of the Victory Medal. Those who did not receive the Victory Medal wore the device on the British War Medal. Established in 1919, it was retrospective to August 1914. It was not a common honour with, for example, only twenty-five (out of 1,000) members of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment in the First World War mentioned in despatches. In all, 141,082 mentions were recorded in the "London Gazette" between 1914 and 1920.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: From 1920 to 1993, the device consisted of a single bronze oak leaf, worn on the ribbon of the appropriate campaign medal, including the War Medal for a mention during the Second World War. The Canadian Armed Forces still use the bronze oak leaf device.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: For awards made from September 1993, the oak leaf has been in silver. The criteria were also made more specific, it now being defined as an operational gallantry award for acts of bravery during active operations.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: From 2003, in addition to British campaign medals, the MiD device can be worn on United Nations, NATO and EU medals.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: In a change introduced in 2014, up to three MiD devices may be worn on a single campaign medal and ribbon bar for those with multiple mentions, backdated to 1962. Prior to this change, even if the serviceman was mentioned in despatches more than once, only a single such device was worn.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: Prior to 1979, a mention in despatches was one of three awards that could be made posthumously, the others being the Victoria Cross and George Cross. The 1979 reform allowed all gallantry decorations to be awarded posthumously.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: Soldiers can be mentioned multiple times. The British First World War Victoria Cross recipient John Vereker, later Field Marshal Viscount Gort, was mentioned in despatches nine times, as was the Canadian general Sir Arthur Currie. The Australian general Gordon Bennett was mentioned in despatches a total of eight times during the First World War, as was Field Marshal Sir John Dill.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: Australian service personnel are no longer eligible to be mentioned in dispatches. Since 15 January 1991, when the Australian Honours System was established, the MiD has been replaced by the Australian decorations: the Commendation for Gallantry and the Commendation for Distinguished Service. Similarly, the equivalents of the MiD for acts of bravery by civilians and by soldiers not engaged with the enemy have also been reformed. The reformed and comprehensive system is now as follows:


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: A mention in dispatches – in French, "Citation à l'ordre du jour" – gives recognition from a senior commander for acts of brave or meritorious service, normally in the field. The Mention in dispatches is among the list of awards presented by the Governor General of Canada.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: Mention in dispatches has been used since 1947, in order to recognize distinguished and meritorious service in operational areas and acts of gallantry which are not of a sufficiently high order to warrant the grant of gallantry awards.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: Eligible personnel include all Army, Navy and Air Force personnel including personnel of the Reserve Forces, Territorial Army, Militia and other lawfully constituted armed forces, members of the Nursing Service and civilians working under or with the armed forces.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: Personnel can be mentioned in dispatches posthumously and multiple awards are also possible. A recipient of a mention in a dispatch is entitled to wear an emblem, in the form of a lotus leaf on the ribbon of the relevant campaign medal. They are also issued with an official certificate from the Ministry of Defence.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: Under the current Pakistani military honours system, the Imtiazi Sanad is conferred upon any member of the Pakistan Armed Forces who is mentioned in dispatches for an act of gallantry that does not qualify for a formal gallantry award.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: In 1920 the Minister of Defence of the Union of South Africa was empowered to award a multiple-leaved bronze oak leaf emblem to all servicemen and servicewomen mentioned in dispatches during the First World War for valuable services in action. The emblem, which was regarded as a decoration, was worn on the ribbon of the Victory Medal (Union of South Africa). Only one emblem was worn, irrespective of the number of times a recipient had been mentioned.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: In 1943, the Union Defence Force confirmed the availability of the British award, the bronze oak leaf, for acts of bravery, in contact with the enemy, which fell just short of the standard required for the granting of a decoration, or for valuable services not necessarily in immediate contact with the enemy.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: The mention in dispatches (MiD) was one of only four awards which could be made posthumously. The others were the Victoria Cross, the George Cross, and the King's Commendation (South Africa). The oak leaf emblem was worn on the ribbon of the War Medal 1939–1945.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: The King's Commendation (South Africa) (1939–45) was denoted by a bronze King Protea flower emblem worn on the ribbon of the Africa Service Medal, for valuable services in connection with the Second World War. It could be awarded posthumously and was the equivalent of a mention in dispatches for services rendered away from the battlefield.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: The MiD and the King's Commendation (SA) were the only decorations that could be approved by the South African Minister of Defence without reference to the King.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: Since the French Revolution, France has had the custom of declaring deserving citizens or groups to have "bien mérité de la Patrie" ("well deserved the recognition of the Country"). This sentiment is continued to this day in the formulation of the citations that accompany medals.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: In the French military, mentions in dispatches – or more accurately, mention in orders ("citation dans les ordres") – are made by senior commanders, from the level of a Regimental commanding officer to the Commander-in-Chief, in the orders they give to their unit, recognizing the gallantry of an action performed some time before. There are two kinds of mentions: mentions with cross, for bravery in presence of the enemy, and mentions without cross, for bravery not in presence of the enemy.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: The citations are given for acts of gallantry by any member of the French military or its allies and are, depending on the degree, roughly the equivalent of the US Bronze Star Medal or Silver Star and the UK Mention in Dispatches or Military Cross and, formerly, the Military Medal.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: Mentions made during the two World Wars or colonial conflicts were accompanied with awards of a "Croix de Guerre" or a "Croix de la Valeur Militaire", with attachments on the ribbon depending on the mention's degree : the lowest degree is represented by a bronze star while the highest degree is represented by a bronze palm.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: A unit can also be mentioned in dispatches. The unit standard is then decorated with the corresponding Croix. After two mentions, the men of the unit are entitled to wear a fourragère.


title: Mentioned in dispatches

text: Since 2004, mentions for bravery not involving actual combat with the enemy are awarded with a gold "Médaille de la Défense nationale" (National Defence Medal) and with the same attachments as the Croix de guerre. Before 2004, these mentions were recorded in the service member record, but not recognized with any decoration.
