Dagö

Dagö is a folk rock band from Tallinn, Estonia.

Dagö was formed in 1998 by Lauri Saatpalu, Peeter Rebane and Tiit Kikas. Dagö is the old name of Hiiumaa, an Estonian island. The band's first album, Dagö, was released in 2000, and received the Folk/Ethno Album Of The Year award in Estonia. Toomas Rull (drums) and Raul Vaigla (bass) joined the band soon after. In 2001, Dagö won first prize in the Midsummer Night’s Improvisational Festival in Pärnu. Tiit Kikas left the group in 2002, and producer and musician Kristo Kotkas became the “invisible member” of the band. The second album, Toiduklubi (Food Club), was released in the same year, and Taavi Kerikmäe, a keyboard player, joined the band soon after. Their third album, Hiired Tuules (Mice in the Wind), was released in 2003, and in the same year drummer Petteri Hasa also joined the band. The fourth album, Joonistatud mees (The Picture Perfect Man), was released in 2006. Also in 2006, the band were awarded the folk rock Group Of The Year award in Estonia.

DAG (newspaper)

Dag (Dutch pronunciation: [dɑx]; English: Day), stylized as DAG, was a freely distributed Dutch-language tabloid newspaper in the Netherlands between 2007 and 2008. It was released jointly by publishing company PCM and telecommunications company KPN. Bob Witman was the editor-in-chief.

The first edition of Dag was published on 8 May 2007 with a circulation of 300,000 copies, accompanied with the launch of the website. It competed with long-time free newspapers Metro and Spits, as well as De Pers which had started on 23 January of that year. The paper and the website were noted for its clear layout, its extensive use of images, and much attention for reactions of the general public. It was reported that in the one and a half year that followed, a maximum of 20 million euro would be invested. In September 2007, the circulation was raised to 400,000, and a Saturday magazine edition and an experimental delivery service were launched.

On 29 September 2008, PCM and KPN announced that the newspaper would cease to exist. The reason was that the direction of Dag had failed to bind enough advertisers, mainly because of the fierce competition of the other free newspapers. The worsening global financial situation around that time also made it more likely that companies would save money on advertisement and sponsoring. The last issue was released on 1 October 2008, but the digital activities of Dag (online, mobile, and narrowcasting) were continued by PCM without support of KPN.

Ivo

Ivo is a masculine given name, in use in various European languages (especially in Italian). The name used in western European languages originates as a Normannic name recorded since the High Middle Ages, and the French name Yves is a variant of it. The unrelated South Slavic name is a variant of the name Ivan (John).

Origins

The name is recorded from the High Middle Ages among the Normans of France and England (Yves of Chartres, born c. 1040). The name's etymology may be either Germanic or Celtic, in either case deriving from a given name with a first element meaning "yew" (Gaulish Ivo-, Germanic Iwa-). The name may have been spread by the cult of Saint Ivo (d. 1303), patron saint of Brittany.

The Slavic name is a hypocorism, like its variant Ivica.

Variations

Ivo has the genitive form of "Ives" in the place name St Ives. In France, the usual variation of the name is Yves. In the Hispanic countries of Latin America, the name is commonly spelled Evo.

Feminine equivalents of the name include Iva, Eva, and Yvette, amongst others.

Aleksandar Ivoš

Aleksandar Ivoš (Serbian Cyrillic: Александар Ивош; born 28 June 1931) is a former Serbian footballer.

Career

Born in Valjevo, SR Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia, Ivoš started his football career in neighbouring FK Loznica before moving to FK Mačva Šabac in 1951. Three years later, his move from Mačva to FK Vojvodina generated notoriety, as the two clubs were fierce local rivals during the pre-war Yugoslavia. His move to Vojvodina in 1954 was a major move in his career, as the club was coached at the time by Vujadin Boškov and counted with a number of Yugoslav national team players. He would stay 7 seasons in Novi Sad. Afterwords, he will play with FK Sloboda Tuzla before moving abroad to play in Austria and Belgium, including a spell with Wiener Sport-Club.
