Emmy Award

An Emmy Award, or simply Emmy, recognizes excellence in the television industry, and corresponds to the Academy Award (for film), the Tony Award (for theatre), and the Grammy Award (for music).

Because Emmy Awards are given in various sectors of the American television industry, they are presented in different annual ceremonies held throughout the year. The two events that receive the most media coverage are the Primetime Emmys and the Daytime Emmys, which recognize outstanding work in American primetime and daytime entertainment programming, respectively. Other notable Emmy Award ceremonies are those honoring national sports programming, national news and documentary shows, national business and financial reporting, and technological and engineering achievements in television, including the Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards. Regional Emmy Awards are also presented throughout the country at various times through the year, recognizing excellence in local and statewide television. In addition, International Emmys are awarded for excellence in TV programming produced and initially aired outside the United States.

66th Division (United Kingdom)

The 66th (2nd East Lancashire) Division was an infantry division of the British Army, part of the Territorial Force, which saw service in the trenches of the Western Front, during the later years of the Great War. Disbanded after the war, it was reformed in 1939 in the Territorial Army as the 66th Infantry Division but disbanded in 1940, without seeing active service in the Second World War.

The division was created shortly after the outbreak of the First World War at the end of August 1914, as the 2nd East Lancashire Division, a second-line formation of the East Lancashire Division, composed primarily of soldiers from eastern Lancashire and the industrial towns around Manchester. After training and home service, it deployed to the Western Front in early 1917; its first major combat came in October of that year, at the Battle of Poelcappelle. In March 1918, it suffered extremely heavy losses during the German Army's Spring Offensive and was withdrawn from the line and reduced to a cadre in order to rebuild. It returned to the front in time for the Battle of Cambrai, part of the Hundred Days Offensive and the Battle of the Selle. Following the Armistice of 11 November 1918, it was stationed in Belgium, where it was demobilised in March 1919.

Emmy (given name)

Emmy is a feminine (rarely also masculine) given name.

Orthographic variants include Emme, Emmi, Emmie. The name is in many instances a hypocoristic of either Emma (itself being in origin a hypocoristic of a number of ancient Germanic names beginning in ermen) or (more rarely) Emily, or Emmanuel (Emmanuelle). It came to be used as a separate (rare) German name, given officially in Germany from the later 19th century.

As an officially given feminine name, Emmy ranked 66th in Sweden and 89th in France as of 2010. Emmy is rarely also encountered as a surname.

Elsina Hidersha (15 March 1989 – 28 February 2011), better known by her stage name Emmy, was an Albanian singer. Her most notable hits were "Pse të dua ty", "A ma jep", "Rastësisht u pamë", and "Let It Play".

Death

Hidersha was hit by a car allegedly driven by her ex-boyfriend, 47-year-old Kosovar businessman Haziz Kelmendi. The police said they suspect the incident was intentional and was a matter of jealousy. Reportedly Kelmendi was heavily intoxicated at the time of the incident. The incident happened in the late hours of 26 February 2011, when Hidersha was leaving a night club where she had been performing. Kelmendi allegedly followed and hit her with his car, although he denies the accusations. Hidersha was brought to the Military Hospital of Tirana suffering from severe brain damage and skull fractures. She lapsed into a coma and died on the morning of 28 February 2011. On 24 May 2011, the Prosecutor closed the investigations stating Emmy's murder was not aforethought but instead, it was a negligent homicide and that Haziz Kelmendi will be processed.
