query: Joan Allen is a star of The Contender.

pos: The Contender (2000 film) The Contender is a 2000 political drama film written and directed by Rod Lurie . It stars Gary Oldman , Joan Allen , Jeff Bridges and Christian Slater . The film focuses on a fictional United States President ( played by Bridges ) and the events surrounding his appointment of a new Vice President ( Allen ) .   The film serves as a response to the Lewinsky scandal that arose during the presidency of Bill Clinton . It also became the subject of controversy regarding alterations that allegedly displeased Oldman , who co-produced . Joan Allen was nominated for Best Actress and Jeff Bridges for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards .

pos: Academy Award for Best Actress The Academy Award for Best Actress is an award presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ( AMPAS ) . It is given in honor of an actress who has delivered an outstanding performance in a leading role while working within the film industry .   The 1st Academy Awards ceremony was held in 1929 with Janet Gaynor receiving the award for her roles in 7th Heaven , Street Angel , and Sunrise . Currently , nominees are determined by single transferable vote within the actors branch of AMPAS ; winners are selected by a plurality vote from the entire eligible voting members of the Academy .   In the first three years of the awards , actresses were nominated as the best in their categories . At that time , all of their work during the qualifying period ( as many as three films , in some cases ) was listed after the award . However , during the 3rd ceremony held in 1930 , only one of those films was cited in each winner 's final award , even though each of the acting winners had two films following their names on the ballots .   The following year , this unwieldy and confusing system was replaced by the current system in which an actress is nominated for a specific performance in a single film . Starting with the 9th ceremony held in 1937 , the category was officially limited to five nominations per year . One actress has been nominated posthumously , Jeanne Eagels . Only three film characters have been nominated more than once in this category . Elizabeth I of England ( two times by Cate Blanchett ) , Leslie Crosbie in The Letter , and Esther Blodgett in A Star is Born . Six women on the list have received an Honorary Academy Award for their acting ; they are Greta Garbo , Barbara Stanwyck , Mary Pickford , Deborah Kerr , Gena Rowlands , and Sophia Loren .   Since its inception , the award has been given to 74 actresses . Katharine Hepburn has won the most awards in this category , with four Oscars . Meryl Streep , who has a total of 20 Oscar nominations ( three wins ) , has been nominated in this category on 16 occasions , resulting in two awards . As of the 2017 ceremony , Emma Stone is the most recent winner in this category for her role as Mia Dolan in La La Land .

neg: 48th Academy Awards The 48th Academy Awards were presented March 29 , 1976 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion , Los Angeles . The ceremonies were presided over by Walter Matthau , Robert Shaw , George Segal , Goldie Hawn , and Gene Kelly . This year , ABC took over broadcast rights from NBC , and continues to broadcast them today . ( NBC 's coverage of the 1976 NCAA Final Four aired opposite the ceremony ; during the presentation of the Best Film Editing award , the winner was jokingly announced ( by presenter Elliott Gould ) as `` Indiana , 86 -- 68 '' ; the Indiana Hoosiers had won the NCAA Final Four that night . )   Miloš Forman 's One Flew Over the Cuckoo 's Nest made a `` clean sweep '' of the major categories : Best Picture , Best Actor , Best Actress , Best Director and Best Screenplay ( Adapted ) . It was the second of three films to date to accomplish the sweep , following It Happened One Night in 1934 and preceding The Silence of the Lambs in 1991 .   French actress Isabelle Adjani received her first nomination for Best Actress this year , making Adjani , 20 at the time , the youngest actress to be nominated in the leading actress category , breaking the record set by 22-year-old Elizabeth Hartman in 1967 . This record would later be surpassed by 13-year-old Keisha Castle-Hughes in 2004 , and again in 2013 by nine-year old Quvenzhane Wallis . Adjani also presented the Best Film Editing award that night along with Gould who delivered the Indiana joke during the presentation .   At age 80 , George Burns became the oldest acting and Best Supporting Actor awardee , a record which stood until Jessica Tandy won Best Actress in 1989 . For males , Burns was succeeded by Christopher Plummer , who won Best Supporting Actor in 2012 for Beginners at the age of 82 .   Jaws was followed 25 years later by Traffic for a film that won all its nominations except Best Picture . Jaws is one of the few films to be nominated for Best Picture but not for directing , acting , or writing .

neg: The Country Girl (1954 film) The Country Girl is a 1954 American drama film directed by George Seaton and starring Bing Crosby , Grace Kelly , and William Holden . Adapted by George Seaton from Clifford Odets ' 1950 play of the same name , the film is about an alcoholic has-been actor struggling with the one last chance he 's been given to resurrect his career . Seaton won the Academy Award for Best Writing , Adapted Screenplay . It was entered in the 1955 Cannes Film Festival .   Kelly won the Oscar for Best Actress for the role , which previously had earned Uta Hagen her first Tony Award in the play 's original Broadway production . The role , a non-glamorous departure for Kelly , was as the alcoholic actor 's long-suffering wife .   The win was a huge surprise , as most critics and people in the press felt that Judy Garland would win for A Star Is Born . NBC even sent a camera crew to Garland 's hospital room , where she was recuperating from the birth of her son , in order to conduct a live interview with her if she won . The win by Kelly instead famously prompted Groucho Marx to send Garland a telegram stating it was `` the biggest robbery since Brinks . ''   Given the period of its production , the film is notable for its realistic , frank dialogue and honest treatments of the surreptitious side of alcoholism and post-divorce misogyny .

neg: Joan of Paris Joan of Paris is a 1942 war film about five Royal Air Force pilots shot down over Nazi-occupied France during World War II and their attempt to escape to England . It stars Michèle Morgan , Paul Henreid , Thomas Mitchell and Laird Cregar .   Joan of Paris marked the U.S. screen debuts of Austrian Henreid and Frenchwoman Morgan . Henreid had previously appeared in some British-American co-productions made in England and had starred on Broadway in the play Flight to the West as Paul von Hernreid . When he was signed with RKO in 1942 , the studio changed his surname , dropping the `` von '' and changing his last name to `` Henreid '' , the name he used for the rest of his film career .   Cregar was borrowed from 20th-Century Fox . Alan Ladd , who played one of the downed airmen , would soon become a star later that year . After his breakthrough starring role in This Gun for Hire ( 1942 ) , Joan of Paris was re-released with Ladd more prominently featured . This film also features May Robson 's last role .

He was an American professional pool player .   For several decades from the 1960s to 1980s , Allen was the most dominant one pocket player in the world . He was inducted into the One Pocket Hall of Fame in 2004 for his contributions to the pocket billiard game of one pocket .   Allen 's gift of gab often lured crowds to congregate around his table . He was a well-known gambler who enjoyed entertaining the crowds . Some believe that Walter Tevis , who wrote the book The Hustler that later became an Academy Award-winning film , based the character of `` Fast Eddie '' on Ronnie Allen after seeing him compete . Minnesota Fats said of Ronnie Allen , `` Anybody who plays him for money ai n't got no chance at all . ''

Candidates for this award must be human and female , and can not be nominated for the same role in the supporting actress category .


query: The Lion belongs to the genus Panthera.

pos: Lion The lion ( Panthera leo ) is one of the big cats in the genus Panthera and a member of the family Felidae . The commonly used term African lion collectively denotes the several subspecies in Africa . With some males exceeding 250 kg in weight , it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger , barring hybrids like the liger . Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in India ( where an endangered remnant population resides in and around Gir Forest National Park ) . In ancient historic times , their range was in most of Africa , including North Africa , and across Eurasia from Greece and southeastern Europe to India . In the late Pleistocene , about 10,000 years ago , the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans : Panthera leo spelaea lived in northern and western Europe and Panthera leo atrox lived in the Americas from the Yukon to Peru . The lion is classified as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature ( IUCN ) , having seen a major population decline in its African range of 30 -- 50 % over two decades during the second half of the twentieth century . Lion populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks . Although the cause of the decline is not fully understood , habitat loss and conflicts with humans are the greatest causes of concern . Within Africa , the West African lion population is particularly endangered .   In the wilderness , males seldom live longer than 10 to 14 years , as injuries sustained from continual fighting with rival males greatly reduce their longevity . In captivity they can live more than 20 years . They typically inhabit savanna and grassland , although they may take to bush and forest . Lions are unusually social compared to other cats . A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and a small number of adult males . Groups of female lions typically hunt together , preying mostly on large ungulates . Lions are apex and keystone predators , although they are also expert scavengers obtaining over 50 percent of their food by scavenging as opportunity allows . While lions do not typically hunt humans , some have . Sleeping mainly during the day , lions are active primarily at night ( nocturnal ) , although sometimes at twilight ( crepuscular ) .   Highly distinctive , the male lion is easily recognised by its mane , and its face is one of the most widely recognised animal symbols in human culture . Depictions have existed from the Upper Paleolithic period , with carvings and paintings from the Lascaux and Chauvet Caves in France dated to 17,000 years ago , through virtually all ancient and medieval cultures where they once occurred . It has been extensively depicted in sculptures , in paintings , on national flags , and in contemporary films and literature . Lions have been kept in menageries since the time of the Roman Empire , and have been a key species sought for exhibition in zoos over the world since the late eighteenth century . Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies .

pos: Panthera Panthera is a genus within the Felidae family that was named and first described by the German naturalist Oken in 1816 . The British taxonomist Pocock revised the classification of this genus in 1916 as comprising the species lion , tiger , jaguar , and leopard on the basis of cranial features . Results of genetic analysis indicate that the snow leopard also belongs to the Panthera , a classification that was accepted by IUCN assessors in 2008 .   Only the tiger , lion , leopard and jaguar have the anatomical structure that enables them to roar . The primary reason for this was formerly assumed to be the incomplete ossification of the hyoid bone . However , new studies show the ability to roar is due to other morphological features , especially of the larynx . The snow leopard does not roar . Although it has an incomplete ossification of the hyoid bone , it lacks the special morphology of the larynx .

neg: Columba (genus) The large bird genus Columba comprises a group of medium to large stout-bodied pigeons , often referred to as the typical pigeons . The terms `` dove '' and `` pigeon '' are used indiscriminately for smaller and larger Columbidae , respectively . Columba species -- at least those of Columba sensu stricto -- are generally termed `` pigeons '' , and in many cases wood-pigeons . The species commonly referred to just as `` the pigeon '' is the feral pigeon ( C. livia domestica ) . It is derived from the rock pigeon ( C. livia ) , which also has given rise to the majority of domesticated pigeon breeds , such as the racing pigeon . Meanwhile , `` wood pigeon '' by itself usually means the common wood pigeon ( C. palumbus ) .   This genus as understood today is native to the Old World , but some -- notably the domestic and feral rock pigeon -- have been introduced outside their natural range , for example in the Americas .

neg: Felis attica Felis attica is an extinct felid of the subfamily Felinae . Around 12 million years ago , the genus Felis appeared and eventually gave rise to many of the modern small cats . Felis attica was a small lynx-like cat , and was one of the ancestors of the first modern Felis species , such as F. lunensis ( Martelli 's cat ) , which appeared around 2.5 million years ago during the Pliocene epoch . Fossil specimens of F. attica have been recovered in western Eurasia . Fossil evidence suggests that F. attica was among the smallest of the Miocene Felinae : about the size of the modern bobcat ( Lynx rufus ) , but with a longer profile . It was made the type species of a separate genus , Pristifelis , by Salesa et al. ( 2012 ) .

neg: Sloth lemur The sloth lemurs ( Palaeopropithecidae ) comprise an extinct clade of lemurs that includes four genera . The common name can be misleading , as members of Palaeopropithecidae were not closely related to sloths , but instead to lemurs . This clade has been dubbed the `` sloth lemurs '' because of remarkable postcranial convergences with South American sloths . Despite postcranial similarities , however , the hands and feet show significant differences . Sloths possess long , curved claws , while sloth lemurs have short , flat nails on their distal phalanges like most primates .

neg: Chinese guardian lions Chinese guardian lions or Imperial guardian lions , traditionally known in Chinese simply as Shi , and often called `` Foo Dogs '' in the West , are a common representation of the lion in imperial China . The concept which originated and became popular in Chinese Buddhism , subsequently spread to other parts of Asia including , Japan , Korea , Tibet , Thailand , Burma , Vietnam , Sri Lanka , Nepal , Cambodia and Laos .

neg: Pack hunter A pack hunter or social predator is a predator belonging to the animal kingdom which has evolved to hunt its prey by working together with other members of its species . Normally animals hunting in this way are closely related , and with the exceptions of humans and chimpanzees where only males normally hunt , all individuals in a family group will contribute to hunting . The most commonly known pack hunter is the gray wolf , the closest wild relative of all breeds of domesticated dog . Humans and their closest-living relatives chimpanzees are also pack hunters . Other pack hunting mammals include dolphins , lions , dwarf and banded mongooses and spotted hyenas . A number of avian social predators exist , including the Harris 's hawk , butcherbirds , three of four kookaburra species and many helmetshrikes . There are a few cold-blooded pack hunters including simple arthropods such as army ants , the yellow saddle goatfish and occasionally crocodiles .   There is a possibility that some non-avian theropod dinosaurs displayed pack behavior as well .   A social animal that always hunts , singly such as the domestic cat , is not a pack hunter .   Pack hunting is typically associated with cooperative breeding and its concentration in the Afrotropical Region is a reflection of this . Most pack hunters are found in the southern African savannas , with a notable absence in tropical rainforests and with the exception of the wolf and coyote , higher latitudes . It is thought that either on the ancient and poor soils of the southern African savanna it is not possible for individual predators to find adequate food , or that the environment 's inherent unpredictability due to ENSO or IOD events means that in very bad conditions it will not be possible to raise the young necessary to prevent declining populations from adult mortality . It is also argued that Africa 's very large area of continuous flat and open country , which was even more extensive while rainforest contracted during glacial periods of the Quaternary , may have helped encourage pack hunting to become much more common than on any other continent .   A shared pack hunting history is thought to be the main conduit through which humans have been able to form a mutual relationship with dogs ( that is , domestication ) , as both species are highly social and inter-dependent . Humans easily take over the dominance hierarchy of dogs as subordinates instinctively follow the `` alpha '' individual and dogs are accustomed to living very close together   When wolves hunt a Moose or Elk , it sometimes takes to deep water to avoid the pack . A wolf response to this behavior is that the pack rests with one or two wolves annoying the prey until it gets fatigued .

neg: Black lion tamarin The black lion tamarin ( Leontopithecus chrysopygus ) , also known as the golden-rumped lion tamarin , is a lion tamarin endemic to the Brazilian state of São Paulo , almost exclusively at the Morro do Diabo State Park . Its limited geographical range makes it the rarest of the New World monkeys , with little known about it . It was thought to be extinct for 65 years until its rediscovery in 1970 .  In 2016 an adult couple was found to the east , in the Caetetus Ecological Station , after six years with no sightings .   The total number of individuals is estimated to be around 1000 . Some experts believe this to be an overestimate , as recent studies have shown that the average area inhabited by the black lion tamarin is closer to 106 ha than the previously estimated 66 ha . They are usually found in groups of 4 to 9 , living in the secondary and primary forests along the circumference of its home range .   On average , the black lion tamarin weighs 590 -- .

neg: Type species In zoological nomenclature , a type species ( species typica ) is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated , i.e. , the species that contains the biological type specimen ( s ) . A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups called a type genus .   In botanical nomenclature , these terms have no formal standing under the code of nomenclature , but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature . In botany , the type of a genus name is a specimen ( or , rarely , an illustration ) which is also the type of a species name . The species name that has that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name . Names of genus and family ranks , the various subdivisions of those ranks , and some higher-rank names based on genus names , have such types .   In bacteriology , a type species is assigned for each genus .   Every named genus or subgenus in zoology , whether or not currently recognized as valid , is theoretically associated with a type species . In practice , however , there is a backlog of untypified names defined in older publications when it was not required to specify a type .

neg: Indochinese leopard The Indochinese leopard ( Panthera pardus delacouri ) is a leopard subspecies native to mainland Southeast Asia and southern China . In Indochina , leopards are rare outside protected areas and threatened by habitat loss due to deforestation as well as poaching for the illegal wildlife trade .   The trend of the population is suspected to be decreasing . The extent of the population decline revealed by a 2016 study surprised the researchers : its population is believed to be 1,000 -- 2,500 individuals , with only 400 -- 1,000 breeding adults .

neg: Lion mask Lion mask is a motif used from antiquity as an emblem of strength , courage , and majesty .   The lion mask holding a ring in its mouth for a handle derives from furniture from ancient Rome and it continues to be popular as doorknocker . Both Venetian and Façon de Venise goblets feature decorative prunts moulded in the lion mask shapes alluding to the symbol of Venice , the Lion of Saint Mark .   From the early to mid-18th century , the lion mask enjoyed popularity as a favoured motif for furniture ornament , used as an arm rest support or to decorate a cabriole leg . Occasionally , a lion 's paw or pelt appears alongside the mask .   Category : Masks in Europe  Category : Lions in art

neg: Hierofalcon The hierofalcons are four closely related species of falcon which make up the subgenus Hierofalco :   Lanner falcon , Falco biarmicus  Laggar falcon , Falco jugger  Saker falcon , Falco cherrug  Gyrfalcon , Falco rusticolus   The black falcon of Australia is occasionally considered allied to the hierofalcons : indeed it seems fairly close to them ( Wink et al. 2004 ) .   They represent members of their genus which are similar to species like the peregrine falcon in outward appearance , but usually with more phaeomelanins which impart reddish or brown colors , and generally more strongly patterned plumage reminiscent of hawks . Their undersides usually have a lengthwise pattern of dark blotches , lines or arrowhead marks . They hunt usually in level flight , more like goshawks than peregrines with their dive attack or hobbies with their acrobatic pursuits .   Recent DNA sequence data studies have confirmed that the hierofalcons are a monophyletic group - and , incidentally , that hybridization runs rampant in the present species complex . Initial results of mtDNA cytochrome b sequence analyses that suggested they are basal among all living falcons were in error , due to a numt ( Wink & Sauer-Gürth 2000 ) . The biogeographically entirely distinct prairie falcon was sometimes placed with the hierofalcons due to its similar coloration ; it is now considered not to belong in this subgenus , the similarities being the result of convergent evolution in adaptation to similar habitat .   The hierofalcon lineage as such seems of Late Pliocene origin , maybe as old as the `` typical '' kestrels ( Gelasian , some 2.5-2 million years ago ) , maybe somewhat older , though little is known about their fossil history . It seems to have originated in Africa or adjacent regions but apparently became nearly extinct in the past : the present hierofalcon diversity is of rather recent origin , presumably not older than the Eemian interglacial ( about 130,000-115 ,000 years ago ) at the start of the Late Pleistocene ; only one of the hierofalcon species that presumably diverged between the Pliocene and the Middle Pleistocene has left any living descendants . The lanner falcon appears to be the most phylogenetically most ancient species ( mainly judging from biogeography ) ; the others diverged - apparently out of a population isolated in northeastern Africa some time during the Riss glaciation 200,000 to 130,000 years ago - in a brief and rapid bout of evolution . DNA sequence data analyses in this group suffers from the extensive hybridization and incomplete lineage sorting confounding the data , and studies with small sample sizes can by no means be considered reliable . Sometimes , all hierofalcons are lumped into one species , Falco hierofalco .   Possible examples of such extinct hierofalcon lineages include Falco bakalovi occurring from the Early Pliocene of Bulgaria to Early Pleistocene of Spain and the Czech Republic and Falco antiquus known from the Middle Pleistocene of Noailles ( France ) and possibly Hór-völgy ( Hungary ) .   Their name may mean `` sacred falcon '' ( Greek ἱερος = `` sacred '' ) or `` hawk-falcon '' ( Greek ἱεραξ = `` hawk '' , but with a Greek error : the correct combining form of ἱεραξ is `` hieraco - '' ) .

neg: Python (genus) Python , from the Greek word , is a genus of nonvenomous pythons found in Africa and Asia . Until recently , seven extant species were recognised ; however , three subspecies have been promoted and a new species recognised . A member of this genus , P. reticulatus , is among the longest snake species and extant reptiles in the world .

neg: Leoger The leoger is a panthera hybrid between a female tiger and a male leopard . It is closely related to a tigard .   Leogers have always been recorded to be stillborn . This is probably due to either to growth dysplasia or some incompatibility of the fetus leoger with the womb of the tigress .   Leoger have supposedly appeared many times . Frederick Codrington Hicks recorded that the weight of these creatures varied from 50 to the weight of a tigress . In addition , in September 1965 , a leoger skin was supposedly put on sale . There are some more documentations of the leoger , but most of them are just of strange-looking skins that could also be attributed to genetic mutations . Most of these reports are probably hoaxes or misinterpretation , which makes it hard for scientists to learn about leogers , but at least a part of the claims are true or in part true , such as the ones made by Frederick Codrington Hick 's .

neg: Pygmy (Greek mythology) The Pygmies ( Πυγμαῖοι Pygmaioi , from the adjective πυγμαῖος from πυγμή pygmē , `` the length of the forearm '' ) were a tribe of diminutive humans in Greek mythology . According to the Iliad , they were involved in a constant war with the cranes , which migrated in winter to their homeland on the southern shores of the earth-encircling river Oceanus . One story describes the origin of the age-old battle , speaking of a Pygmy Queen named Gerana who offended the goddess Hera with her boasts of superior beauty , and was transformed into a crane .   In art the scene was popular with little Pygmies armed with spears and slings , riding on the backs of goats , battling the flying cranes . The 2nd-century BC tomb near Panticapaeum , Crimea `` shows the battle of human pygmies with a flock of herons '' .   The Pygmies were often portrayed as pudgy , comical dwarfs .   In another legend , the Pygmies once encountered Heracles , and climbing all over the sleeping hero attempted to bind him down , but when he stood up they fell off . The story was adapted by Jonathan Swift as a template for Lilliputians .   Later Greek geographers and writers attempted to place the Pygmies in a geographical context . Sometimes they were located in far India , at other times near the Ethiopians of Africa . The Pygmy bush tribes of central Africa were so named after the Greek mythological creatures by European explorers in the 19th century .

neg: Leptictidium Leptictidium ( meaning `` graceful weasel '' in Latin ) is an extinct genus of small mammals ; together with macropods , giant pangolins , and humans , they are the only known completely bipedal mammals . Comprising eight species , they resembled today 's elephant shrews . They are especially interesting for their combination of characteristics typical of primitive eutherians with highly specialized adaptations , such as powerful hind legs and a long tail which aided in locomotion . They were omnivorous , their diet a combination of insects , lizards and small mammals . One of the first branches to split from basal eutherians , they appeared in the Lower Eocene , a time of warm temperatures and high humidity , roughly fifty million years ago . Although they were widespread throughout Europe , they became extinct around thirty-five million years ago with no descendants , probably because they were adapted to live in forest ecosystems and were unable to adapt to the open plains of the Oligocene .

neg: Gatwick Handling Gatwick Handling Limited was an aircraft ground handling agent headquartered at London Gatwick Airport .   Gatwick Handling was originally established in the late-1960s as a new company jointly owned by Airbourne Aviation and Messrs Metcalfe and Foukes . The company 's liquidation soon after its formation resulted in ownership passing to Davies and Newman ( D&N ) , holding company of UK independentindependent from government-owned corporations airline Dan-Air . D&N 's search for a co-owner for its new ground handling unit led to the sale of a 50 % stake to Laker Airways ( Services ) , an associate company of former Gatwick-based UK independent airline Laker Airways which was a contemporary competitor of Dan-Air .   Gatwick Handling 's official appointment as an airport concessionaire occurred in early-1972 following the signing of an agreement between the British Airports Authority ( BAA ) , Dan-Air and Laker Airways . Under this agreement , the BAA licensed Gatwick Handling to conduct ground handling operations at London Gatwick on behalf of third parties .   In addition to assuming responsibility for handling all Dan-Air and Laker flights at Gatwick , a growing number of third-party airlines appointed Gatwick Handling their handling agent at the airport .   Laker Airways 's demise in early-1982 brought about a change in ownership that initially saw D&N gain 100 % control of Gatwick Handling and the subsequent sale of the 50 % stake previously owned by an associate company of the defunct airline sold on to US carriers Northwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines .   In the late-1980s , Gatwick Handling extended its geographical coverage of the UK to other airports , leading to establishment of GH Manchester and GH Stansted respectively .   Dan-Air 's takeover by British Airways ( BA ) in late-1992 divided Gatwick Handling 's ownership between Northwest and Delta .   In 1994 , Gatwick Handling extended its geographical coverage to Ghana in West Africa . To give it a more international image , the company abbreviated its name to GHI ( for Gatwick Handling International ) .   In 1998 , Go-Ahead Group replaced Northwest and Delta as GHI 's owner .   In 2000 , Go-ahead merged GHI with its other UK aircraft ground handling operations , Midland Airport Services , British Midland Handling Services and Reed Aviation , under the Aviance UK brand .

neg: Operation Midnight Jackal Operation Midnight Jackal was a covert-intelligence operation that was widely reported as one of high profile political scandal during the first government of Prime minister Benazir Bhutto in 1989 . The Midnight Jackal was exposed by ISI in a sting operation of theirs , when it had obtained a tape from Intelligence Bureau ( IB ) containing a conversation of two active-duty army officers and a rogue ISI operative regarding toppling down the government . This ring was headed by a ISI rogue agent Brigadier-General Imtiaz `` the Cat '' Ahmed , who was widely regarded as the mastermind of this plot .   The tape exposed the conversation of another rogue agent Major Amir Khan , who revealed that General Mirza Aslam Beg , the then-Chief of Army Staff , with the backing of the conservative President Ghulam Ishaq Khan , had ambitions to topple the Benazir Bhutto 's government , and to bring a more conservative Nawaz Sharif and other conservatives in power instead .   Due to the lack of sufficient evidence against the Chief of Army Staff , his court martial could not take place . The Judge Advocate General Corps launched the full-fledged military inquiry against the Brigadier-General Ahmed and Major Amir Khan , subsequently ending their military careers . The military investigators and military lawyers of prosecution revealed that Major Amir Khan was the architect of the Midnight Jackal , under the auspicious of Brigadier-General Ahmed . The investigations revealed that some members of the establishment wanted to pay hefty bribes to the senior leadership of Benazir Bhutto 's Peoples Party to bring the vote of no confidence movement in the Parliament , according to the VII Amendment . The military lawyers also reported that the objectives of the Midnight Jackal were to support Nawaz Sharif as the establishment was said to have `` liked '' or preferred Sharif as a country 's prime minister , and was a part of his political camp . Major Amir Khan told his military lawyers that : `` Nawaz Sharif was more acceptable to the -LSB- Pakistan -RSB- Army than Benazir Bhutto , and the establishment was against of every leader who had people 's mandate behind them .
