title: Thomas Helveg

texts:
<mask> (; born 24 June 1971) is a Danish former professional footballer who played as a right-back. He began and ended his career with Odense Boldklub in the Danish Superliga, with whom he won the 1989 Danish championship. The most prominent periods of his career were four years at Udinese and five years with club A.C. Milan. With Milan he won the 1999 Serie A championship and 2003 UEFA Champions League tournament. <mask> was named 1994 Danish Football Player of the Year, the year he made his debut for the Denmark national team. He has played 108 games and scored two goals for Denmark. He played for Denmark under three different national coaches, and participated in the 1996, 2000 and 2004 European Championship and the 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cup tournaments.Playing career
Born in Odense, Helveg started his senior career at local club Odense Boldklub (OB) in the top-flight Danish 1st Division. Helveg played two matches in the last part of OB's 1989 1st Division winning season, and he was soon a part of the OB first team alongside later national team players Allan Nielsen and Brian Steen Nielsen. Helveg represented Denmark at the 1992 Summer Olympics, playing all three Denmark matches in the tournament. When OB played English club Arsenal F.C. in the 1993–94 Cup Winners' Cup tournament, Helveg was put to the task of handling English international striker Ian Wright, for which he received praise. Moving abroad
<mask>'s international career began when he was loaned out for six months by OB, in November 1993. He joined Italian club Udinese Calcio, who were relegation battlers in the Serie A championship.He made his Udinese debut in a 0–0 draw with Atalanta B.C. on 28 November 1993, and played 22 games and scored two goals in his first season at the club. Even though Udinese was relegated to the Serie B at the end of the season, he received his first call-up to the Denmark national team by national manager Richard Møller Nielsen in April 1994. He came on as a substitute in the 14th minute for the injured John Jensen, and Helveg would receive rave reviews for his performance, making him a mainstay in the Denmark squad from day one. Despite their relegation, he was bought by Udinese and was soon to have success in the Udine club. Combined with his international breakthrough with the Denmark team, his first year at Udinese earned him the 1994 Danish Player of the Year award. For five seasons, he was first choice in the right side of the Udinese starting line-up, as a wingback charging up and down the sideline.He played 30 of 38 games, as Udinese finished second in the 1994–95 Serie B season, and won promotion back into the Serie A after a single season in Serie B. Under guidance of coach Alberto Zaccheroni, Udinese steadily became a tough opponent for the other clubs in Serie A, and finished in tenth place of the 1995–96 Serie A season. <mask> scored his first national team goal in June 1996, before representing Denmark in his first major international tournament at the 1996 European Championship (Euro 1996) later that month. He played all three Denmark matches in the preliminary group stage of the Euro 1996, which ended unsuccessfully in an early exit from the tournament. In April 1997, he was joined at Udinese by fellow Danish player Martin Jørgensen. The pair developed a close relationship, naming each other nephew Jørgensen and uncle <mask>. For the next two seasons, Udinese mingled with the biggest Serie A clubs, the "Seven Sisters".Helveg played 30 of 34 games as Udinese finished in fifth place of the 1996–97 Serie A season, and qualified for European football for the first time in club history. In the following season, Helveg played four games for Udinese in the European UEFA Cup tournament, and helped the club finish in a meriting third place of the 1997–98 Serie A season. Both <mask> and Martin Jørgensen were included in new national manager Bo Johansson's Danish squad for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Their connection was evident in their joint celebration following <mask>'s goal in Denmark's 4–1 win over Nigeria in the World Cup round of 16. Milan
Before the 1998 World Cup, <mask> had been sold to A.C. Milan, alongside his Udinese teammate Oliver Bierhoff. The transfer deal made Helveg the most expensive Danish player at the time, at the price of £6 million. The shift from Udinese to A.C. Milan was made easier, when Milan later signed manager Alberto Zaccheroni from the Udinese days.The trio gained success in Milan, as the club won the Italian championship, Lo Scudetto, in 1998–99. <mask> played a large role in the success as a starter in almost every game in the season. In the next two seasons he was still first choice, but in the season 2001–02 he began to be challenged severely by the young Italian players like Gennaro Gattuso and Massimo Ambrosini. He scored his first goal for the club on 6 December 2000; the only goal in a 1–0 win at Deportivo de La Coruña in the UEFA Champions League. In the 2001–02 season he played less than half of Milan's games in Serie A, and following only eight of 34 matches in the 2002–03 season, he moved to Inter Milan – the cross-city rivals of A.C. Milan – before the season 2003–04. Through his five years at A.C. Milan, <mask> had been selected for Denmark in both the Euro 2000 as well as 2002 FIFA World Cup. While the Euro 2000 was no success for neither Denmark nor Helveg, who had an injury which limited him to playing a combined 98 minutes in two games, the 2002 World Cup gave him more time on the pitch.He played full-time in the three successful group stage matches, until another injury forced him to leave the pitch in the seventh minute of Denmark's final game before elimination. Veteran years
In Inter Milan, he rejoined his former manager in both Udinese and A.C. Milan, Alberto Zaccheroni. Helveg regained some of his form and played 22 games in Serie A and six matches in the European cups. In this his last year in Italy, he was from time to time also used in the left side of the defence. He was once more a part of a European Championship tournament, when he played full-time in Denmark's four games at the Euro 2004. Helveg was named national team captain following the retirement of René Henriksen after the Euro 2004 tournament. After a year at Inter Milan, Helveg moved on to play in England in the summer 2004.He joined Norwich City on a free transfer. Norwich had been promoted to the English FA Premier League and saw Helveg as a signing who would bring class and experience to the side. His signing was seen as something of a coup for Norwich, but Helveg struggled to reproduce the form shown in Serie A and on the international scene, and he lost his place in the starting line-up in the opening weeks of the season. After a long absence, partly due to injury, he regained his place in the side in early 2005, this time in central midfield. He finished the season, in typically versatile fashion, as the first choice right back. After a largely disappointing season, Norwich was relegated. <mask> left the club, having shown only flashes of his former class.<mask> signed a two-year contract with German club Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga championship. Four appearances into his Mönchengladbach debut season, he sustained a serious achilles tendon injury that forced him out for more than eight months. He returned to Bundesliga action at the end of that season, coming on as a substitute in injury-time in Mönchengladbach's final match. Having played eight of Mönchengladbach's first 19 games during the 2006–07 season, Helveg was dropped from the Danish national team by national manager Morten Olsen. <mask> and Mönchengladbach mutually terminated his contract in January 2007, and he moved back to play for OB. On 4 December 2010, Helveg played the last match of his career. Later and coaching career
After retiring at the end of 2010, it was confirmed on 17 December 2010, that <mask> from 1 January 2011 would continue at OB as an assistant coach under Henrik Clausen.Clausen was fired on 26 March 2012, but Helveg continued in his position under newly hired manager Poul Hansen. At his own request, Helveg chose to resign from his position in June 2013. In August 2015, <mask> was back in football when he was hired as a member of FC Roskilde's board. It is unknown how long Helveg held this position. On 28 May 2020, <mask> was appointed assistant coach of Denmark's U-19 national team. Career statistics

title: Assen Jordanoff

texts:
<mask>Jerry<mask> (, born Asen Hristov Yordanov, September 2, 1896 - October 19, 1967) was a Bulgarian-American inventor, engineer, and aviator. <mask> is considered to be the founder of aeronautical engineering in Bulgaria, as well as a contributor to the development of aviation in the United States. He occupied a distinct place among pilots of his time, the golden age of airmanship; in America, <mask> gained almost legendary status for his many roles as test pilot, airmail and air taxis pilot, stunt pilot, and flying instructor. He worked as an engineer for a number of companies, including Curtiss-Wright, Boeing, Lockheed, North American, Consolidated, Chance-Vought, Douglas and Piper, where he produced instruction books and manuals for famous airplanes such as the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, the North American B-25 Mitchell, the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, the Consolidated B-24 Liberator, the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, and the Douglas DC-3. <mask> was also well known for his numerous educational publications on aeronautics, including his inventions outside the realm of aviation. Background
Asen Hristov Yordanov was the son of a polyglot economist/chemist, Hristo Yordanov. Hristo graduated from the University of Stuttgart in Germany and later obtained a doctorate from the University in Aachen, Germany, where he specialized in the analysis and production of wool and later silk, publishing several important findings on the process.In Bulgaria, Hristo worked in the Ministry of Economics and Agriculture as well as the Sofia bank. The Yordanov's were fairly wealthy, and owned several coal and copper mines, as well as a family farm. In turn, Asen was educated early. Asen's mother, Dochka Tsoneva, was the daughter of a rich tobacco producer from Razgrad. She studied piano and opera singing in Turin, Italy. Very well-read, Tsoneva found an interest in fine cuisine and published a famous cookbook. She also wrote poems and a number of plays, not meant to be published.Asen had five siblings. His sister Milka Toteva, a violinist, also made a successful career in the United States. Childhood and youth
From a very young age, Asen Yordanov was interested in flight. He built kites as a child, and as an adolescent attended lectures on physics at the local university. In his teens, Yordanov invented a dark box, a simple substitution to the use of an entire dark room in photograph development. Later, his father would take Yordanov to Italy, Switzerland and France, where Yordanov learned of the many innovations in transportation, notably the motorcycle. Asen was temporarily lodged in a boarding school in Geneva, where he learned French.He continued his studies in Bulgaria. The glider
In 1912, at the age of 16, Yordanov built his first workable glider. A local Bulgarian newspaper, dated February 16, 1912, published an article entitled 'First Bulgarian glider', which read:

In the last few days, on the field between the infantry camp and the pioneer barracks, a very young Bulgarian aviator drills with his glider built by himself. He is a high school schoolboy, Asen Yordanov, the son of the Administrator of the Bank of Agriculture. He is fifteen, passionately keen on aviation and as a child fashioned toys that could fly. Last year, when visiting France and Italy, he saw the biplane of Maslennykov and Tchernyak, and from then on thought seriously to conquer the air himself. His glider is a very simple, light affair, based on the constructions of the Wright brothers and of Farman.It is 7 meters long, 1.20 m wide, with a surface area of 14 m2 and weights 23 kg. Yesterday he flew for over 12 minutes and reached an altitude of 10 to 12 meters. This young man's glider deserves praise, especially from aviation specialists. The exact date of the first flight is unclear, but after it, on February 5, the young flier made a second test flight in the presence of an official commission. Young Asen was invited to take another trip to France by a rich couple from Rousse, who had no children, and to go with them on summer holiday to Paris. In 1912, the first Salon de l'Aviation took place in Paris, presenting the latest aeronautic achievements and the latest planes, demonstrated by the top pilots of the day. In turn, Yordanov, above all, planned to find a means of admission to the well-known Blériot school in Étampes, knowing fully well the unlikelihood of a 16-year-old boy from then newly formed Bulgaria to gain admittance.This was until he met the well-known Bulgarian aviator Lieutenant Simeon Petrov, who introduced him to Louis Blériot himself. He wasn't officially enrolled and there was no diploma for him, but attending the famous flying school in the company of great aviators played a huge role in Yordanov's educational development. After graduation, all the Bulgarians in the school were gathered and notified that the Turks are planning to invade Bulgaria. Balkan Wars
The First Balkan War, led by Bulgaria, Serbia, and Greece against Turkey, was shortly followed by the Second Balkan War, led against Bulgaria by its former allies. At 17, Asen Yordanov volunteered for the army, with his father's reluctant consent. Though never in any imminent danger, Asen Yordanov served his part during the war as car driver; most of his time he frequented the airplane hangars. Colonel Radul Milkov would later recall:

I would often see the boy, drawing paper in hand, sitting in hangars or in the repair shop and copying the design of the parts from dismantled machines.He would also note down measurements of the length, height and width of this or that part, for instance the ribs and flat surfaces of the plane or all that made up the fuselage. '=
In the Aeroplanno Otdelenie division, Asen Yordanov gained expertise, he designed the first Bulgarian-made airplane, and it was built in the summer of 1915. Yordanov test flew the plane, and it was subsequently named the Diplane (biplane) Yordanov-1. He sold the plane's design to the military and they started to produce it. In one year's time Bulgaria already had 23 airplanes. August 10, 1915, was considered the beginning of Bulgarian aircraft industry. Yordanov already became known as  designer, mathematician, and inventor at his young age.He introduced a valuable new device, namely a feature which prevents the plane from losing altitude, into the new plane. Asen Yordanov's airplane was at a first look similar to the planes of that time. It was a biplane with relatively short wings, to decrease the body weight and with increased spacing between them to improve the aerodynamic effect of the lower wing. The wing section was similar to that of Albatros. The cockpit and the fuselage were conceived with great care to diminish drag. The landing gear was reinforced with double tires for stability and safety when landing. The tail, vertical and horizontal stabilizers and the ailerons were similar to those built by Louis Blériot.The innovation that helped at landing and at recovery from stalls was something like contemporary flaps, added between the wings. Yordanov was awarded a scholarship to study abroad for his construction. His next and even more ambitious project was a heavier multi-engine plane. Unfortunately the rise of World War I cancelled his plans. Adulthood

World War I
After finishing secondary school in Sofia, Yordanov was drafted for World War I. He entered the military school at Bozhuriste, near Sofia. On graduation, <mask> was promoted to lieutenant and was assigned to the air force.He took part as a pilot in 84 military missions. He ended the war being awarded several insignias of honor, most important of which was the Order for bravery. The war was disastrous for Bulgaria, leaving the country to deal with heavy war reparations and  practically destroyed economy. Emigration to America
In May 1921 Asen Yordanov and his wartime friend, Alexander Stoyanov, read about a contest to fly around the world in 100 days. The first plane to make it would win one million dollars. Yordanov and his partner were fully supported by the then prime-minister Aleksandar Stamboliyski and were granted US$6,000 /participation fee-US$2500/ by the Bulgarian Ministry of War to participate in the initiative, and they traveled to the US. However, Yordanov and Stoyanov were the only candidates and therefore the contest was postponed and later canceled.Nonetheless, Yordanov decided to remain in the United States, where he later found his new home. He also anglicized his surname to "<mask>". Aviation career
Faced with the dilemma of knowing absolutely no English, <mask> <mask> began his life in America shoveling snow in New York for small pay. After the snow melted, <mask> was able to find a job at a construction work on a skyscraper. Having a job, he spent all his free time at the Public Library, studying English by himself or reading books and manuals on subjects  such as aeronautics, machinery, and mechanics. At that time he became known among his friends and colleagues as Jerry, rather than Assen, a familiar name that would stick with him for the rest of his life. <mask> then got a job at the Curtiss-Wright Corporation.Having his English improved, <mask>

 <mask> went on to take university courses in engineering, aeronautics, radio electronics, physics, and chemistry. At the same time he graduated from a flying school; his instructor was William Winston, who was also Charles Lindbergh's flight instructor. <mask> moved later to Curtiss-Wright, therefrom he would emerge as a test pilot and in parallel as a sales manager, a pilot of air taxis, a stunt pilot and above all a flying instructor. He also specialized in flying under complex weather conditions. <mask> was still just in his late 20s. <mask> was invited by Thomas Edison  to visit him at his home in Menlo Park, New Jersey, as Edison was at the stage of developing a proto-radar and was also interested in helicopters, a research project in which <mask> <mask> was involved at the same time. They collaborated designs and worked together for several months.Later years

Jordanoff's business
In the 1930s and early 1940s <mask> wrote a number of illustrated books on problems of aviation, which became a Bible for future aviators. More than 750,000 copies of his books were sold in the US. Some of them were translated in other languages. After 1940 began a major period in <mask> <mask>'s career. During the next ten years, he established and presided over his own business enterprises: The Jordanoff Aviation Corporation, followed by The Jordanoff Corporation and then The Jordanoff Company, before the creation in 1946 of Jordanoff Electronics. In aeronautics, the Jordanoff companies collaborated with such firms as Douglas, Chance-Vought, Lockheed, Curtiss-Wright, McDonnell, Boeing, North American, Consolidated, and Piper. At the request of many, <mask>, as a designer and engineer within his own enterprise, compiled instruction books and manuals for the operation and maintenance, inspection and repair for some well-known aircraft such as the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, a very versatile aircraft used during World War II mainly as high-speed, high-altitude fighter, long-range escort fighter and photo reconnaissance plane; the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, America's foremost fighter in service when World War II began; the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, the best long-range bombers in World War II; the Consolidated B-24 Liberator and the North American B-25 Mitchell bombers, and the Douglas DC-3 transport aircraft.A very important activity was the preparation and the distribution of thousands of copies of descriptive books and practical manuals for aircraft. <mask> also became renowned for his many articles and publishing on aviation, as well as his commentaries and editorials. He was presented as a prominent authority on all the areas of aviation. <mask> eventually became the largest American publisher and editor of specialized military manuals. In the 1940s <mask> was assigned the task by the United States Department of Defense to prepare instruction manuals for military aircraft, submarines and aircraft carriers, on topics like land support with radio equipment, air meteorology, theoretic and flight preparation of the pilots for diurnal and nocturnal piloting. These were for crew use, inspection, maintenance and repair. Aside from his many patents on plane design, <mask> also introduced the so-called Jordaphone from his Electronics company, a wireless telephone, with an answering function and amplifier and intercom functions.It was the first of its kind, and preceded the modern inventions of the answering machine and tape recorder by 5 to 30 years. Another invention was the Frozen Gasoline System for airplanes. The idea was to super-cool the fuel in an aircraft's tank with dry ice and alcohol, thus making it inflammable. This system was never finally implemented, but its principles were later adopted in different forms. Further inventions of note included The Reverse Thrust device, which was made to decrease the specific fuel consumption and to increase the thrust of jet engines. The world's first air bag, meant to ensure the safety of pilots and automobile drivers alike, was designed by <mask> in (1957). The Stratoport resumed <mask>'s interest in aviation.A special company was established: The Stratoport Corporation of America (1956). It owned the patent issued for a field of two unidirectional no-cross runways, set end-to-end and elevated to slow-down planes that are landing and to speed-up those taking off. The runways were screened by high perforated fences that reduced crosswinds. The high screens were also expected to reduce the noise as well as the elevated ends to reduce the length and the area needed for runways. Nonetheless, as was the case with the Jordaphone, the new concept was too ambitious and modernistic. <mask> married in 1929 Alice Grant Patton. She was ten years older than he was.They divorced in 1942. In 1942 he married his second wife Diana. They divorced in 1950 after his financial collapse. In 1955 he married Lucile Andrews. When in 1962 <mask> retired, he settled with her in a small cottage in Harrison, New York. Legacy
<mask>'s popularity in America became almost legendary, as he was often the subject of many anecdotes and arguments. <mask> was made an honorary citizen of New York City, his name appeared in  Who's Who.The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum holds his papers and mementoes.

<mask> <mask> died October 19, 1967, aged 71, in St. Angels Hospital in White Plains, New York. His ashes were dispersed from a plane by some of his friends. Jordanoff Bay in Davis Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica is named after <mask> <mask>. <mask>'s writings

title: Billy Daniels

texts:
<mask> (September 12, 1915 – October 7, 1988) was an American singer active in the United States and Europe from the mid-1930s to 1988, notable for his hit recording of "That Old Black Magic" and his pioneering performances on early 1950s television. He was one of the first African-American entertainers to cross over into the mainstream. <mask> was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1977. Life and career

Early life
<mask> was born in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. where his father was a postmaster and notary. His mother was a schoolteacher and organist. <mask> had a heritage of Portuguese sailor, Native American (Choctaw), African American, and frontiersman Daniel Boone.Early career
In 1935, <mask> moved from Jacksonville to New York to attend Columbia University. He planned to become a lawyer, but he was sidetracked during the Depression. His grandmother was a seamstress in Harlem for the Ziegfeld Follies, and she encouraged her grandson to sing at Dickie Wells, the club where he first worked as a dishwasher, then a singing waiter.

title: Hossein Nassim

texts:
<mask> (born 27 April 1952) is an Iranian swimmer. He who was a member of Iran national water polo teams participating in the 1976 Summer Olympics and 1970, 1974, and 1986 Asian Games, and won a gold medal in 1974. Nassim was known for his national records in the backstroke, and his contribution to the Iran men's national water polo team from the early 1970s through the late 1980s. Nassim immigrated to Germany in 1987, and is now a coach and instructor with swim clubs there. Early life

Nassim was born in Abadan, Iran, to <mask> and Farideh Hasson. His earliest influences were from his brother <mask>, whom was himself a water polo player for Iran men's national water polo team, and a record holder for the backstroke from the late 1950s into the early 1960s. <mask>'s earliest participation in swimming began with Club Paas in Abadan (for swimming and water polo), then to Jam Club (for swimming, water polo, and basketball), before moving onto the National Men's team of Iran in 1967, at the age of 15.He was known for his strenuous training regimen of doing daily practices with both his swim team and water polo team, twice daily. Water polo career

<mask> <mask> was known for his speed and strength, earning the nickname 'Shark from the South' from his teammates and competitors, due to his coming from Abadan (which is located in the south of Iran). In joining the national men's team in 1967, he became a starting player for the team in 1970, with his first trip being to Romania for a competition. During the 1974 Asian Games, held in Tehran, Iran, the national team was able to win the gold medal, with the finals being held against China, which ended in a 5–5 tie. <mask> scored three goals in the game, playing from the striker position. It was rumored that post victory over China, that <mask> had climbed the 10m meter diving board and jumped into the pool in celebration, yet it was later discovered that it was a fan by name of Hooshang Parvin that was responsible for the celebratory leap. In the ensuing years that followed leading up to the Iranian Revolution in 1978 to 1979, the national team was hindered in being unable to host or attend any major competitions.During the early 1980s, government policy limited what sports could be played, with swimming and water polo being nearly completely eliminated. Iran was absent from Asian game appearances in 1978 and 1982, due to political and social turmoil. At the 1986 Asian Games held in Seoul, South Korea, the Iran men's national water polo team participated and placed 4th, despite close to a decade of not playing within international competitions. <mask> Nassim and Ahmad Yaghouti were the only players to have participated both on the 1974 Asian games team, and the 1986 Asian games squad. 1974 Asian Games controversy

In the aftermath of the 1974 Asian games, <mask> was subject to a two-year ban from swimming. The ban was given due to an altercation with a high-ranking official that told <mask> to clean up his overgrown beard and long hair so that he could be used for an Army water polo competitions. <mask> explained to the official that he was Darvish (Sufi), at which the official scoffed and insulted his religion.At this point <mask> responded by throwing the official into the swimming pool they were standing next to. Upon being banished from all swimming pools in all of Iran, <mask> moved to southern Iran to take up training in the Shatt al-Arab. Out of sight of officials he trained in the dense and strong currents from September 1974, until March 1975, when the ban was lifted due to the national water polo team moving to join him there for training, along with widespread press coverage of his actions. Media appearances

In 1974, <mask> was asked to appear on the popular night time show called "Mikhakeh Noghrei", starring Fereydoun Farrokhzad. The show was famous for having performers and entertainers on, but never athletes. <mask> appeared on the show shortly after the Iran men's national water polo team won the 1974 Asian games. On his appearance he sang a very famous song () by Gharibeh, originally done by Shahrokh.Coaching career

Post immigration to Germany in 1987, <mask> focused on coaching both swimming and water polo teams at local sports club. In 2000, he was offered the position as head coach for the Iran Men's water polo team, but negotiations were terminated and <mask> returned to Germany. Iran in 2005 offered <mask> the position of head coach for the Iranian Youth Water Polo team, which he led to a gold medal in the Youth Asian Cup, in Thailand that same year. He also served as an assistant coach for Iran Men's Water Polo team in 2005, serving under Neven Kovacevic, who was the head coach. Personal life
