\"Kun kello käy\" (\"When time goes by\") was the Finnish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1968, performed in Finnish by Kristina Hautala. Written by Esko Linnavalli and lyricist Juha Vainio, \"Kun kello käy\" was introduced by Hautala on an YLE TV2 broadcast on February 10, 1968 on which Hautala and five other singers: Anki, Johnny, Irina Milan, Aarno Raninen and Inga Sulin, each performed one of the six songs being considered to be that year's Finnish entrant at Eurovision. For the first time in Finland's Eurovision participation which dated from 1961, the Finnish Eurovision entrant was selected based on ballots mailed in by the viewing public: on February 17, 1968 \"Kun kello käy\" was announced as the top vote-getter and therefore Hautala would perform her number to represent Finland at Eurovision 1968. \"Kun kello käy\" was performed by Hautala on the night of competition held April 6, 1968 at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Hautala performing subsequent to Claes-Göran Hederström of Sweden singing \"Det börjar verka kärlek, banne mej\" and being followed by Isabelle Aubret of France singing \"La source\". At the close of voting, \"Kun kello käy\" had received 1 point, only the judge from Norway having voted for the song which resultantly shared last place - 16th in a field of 17 - in a tie with Ronnie Tober representing the Netherlands with the song \"Morgen\". Two of Finland's prior Eurovision bids had received zero points but in neither instance had the relevant song been viewed as a real contender: it was the poor showing of \"Kun kello käy\" at Eurovision 1968 which consolidated the long-standing perception of that nation's Eurovision participation being risible. The subsequent Finnish entrant in the 1969 Contest was \"Kuin silloin ennen\" performed by Jarkko & Laura. Hautala also recorded \"\"Kun kello käy\"\" in Swedish as \"Vänta och se\" (\"Wait and See\") whose lyrics were written by Stig Anderson. | Work | Song | EurovisionSongContestEntry |

In the early 1280s Bogislaw was involved in the war in the neighbouring margraviate of Brandenburg. At this time he married Matilda, daughter of John I and a sister of reigning Margrave Otto IV, but all of his known children were by a second marriage to Margarete, daughter of Wizlaw II, Prince of Rügen. In the 1290s with his brothers now adults, Pomerania was divided between them with Bogislaw receiving Wolgast as his share. Barnim II died soon afterwards and Otto ruled Szczecin.

The general course of the River Thame is south-westward and it runs from each of the longest of its many sources to the River Thames about 40 miles (65 km). The Thame rises in the English county of Buckinghamshire and discharges in south-east Oxfordshire. The Thame is non-navigable to boats save for canoes north of Dorchester-on-Thames, The Thame's source is three streams which rise in the wide Vale of Aylesbury on the north side of the Chiltern Hills. These streams converge north-east of Aylesbury, the county town of Buckinghamshire. The Thame played a key role in the English Civil War when John Hampden (the town's Member of Parliament) led the force of Parliamentarians successfully defending Aylesbury at the Battle of Holman's Bridge, where a small road crosses the river, in 1642. The vale streams converge by the 21st century small suburb of Watermead on the far side of a dug-out, flowing oxbow lake with several ornamental features (hence the name of the suburb). The suburb's land was in the Middle Ages, the west of Bierton with Broughton parish and so is now in that civil parish. The Thame then passes farmland of the villages of Nether Winchendon and Chearsley before reaching the market town of Thame with which it shares its name. Thame is about 15 miles (24 km) east of Oxford and grew from an Anglo-Saxon settlement beside the river. In Anglo-Saxon England Thame is a recorded place in records of the Diocese of Dorchester. At Holton mill the Thame turns quickly southward and after passing the villages of Great Milton and Stadhampton, its valley widens. In this area in 1642 and 1643, the river acted as a line of defence for Royalist Oxford. The bridges at Wheatley, Cuddesdon Mill and Chiselhampton were key crossing points, with Chiselhampton Bridge playing a critical part in Prince Rupert's movements before and after the Battle of Chalgrove Field. Finally the Thame reaches the village of Dorchester, Oxfordshire, or Dorchester-on-Thames. As its name indicates, a Romano-British settlement was on the site. The small town's central streets are typically Anglo-Saxon being not quite straight and at various angles. The Saxon cathedral here was superseded by Dorchester Abbey, a name since the English Reformation denoting its surviving structure which was its main building, the abbey church, built in 1170 that is 70 metres in length and a listed building at Grade I. | Place | Stream | River |

The El Chocón Dam (Spanish: La Presa de El Chocón) is the fourth of the five dams on the Limay River in the northwestern Argentine Patagonia (the Comahue region), at 381 metres (1,250 ft) above mean sea level. El Chocón is on the Limay River at about 80 km (50 mi) upstream of its confluence with the Neuquén River. El Chocón is used to regulate the flow of the Limay River, for irrigation, and for the generation of hydroelectricity. Its power station is the largest hydroelectric power plant in Patagonia, with a capacity of 1,260 megawatts (1,690,000 hp). It was built by the state-owned company Hidronor (Hidroeléctrica Norpatagónica). It started operating in 1973, and achieved full capacity in 1978. In the period 1974–1995 it produced an annual average of 2,700 gigawatt-hours (9,700 TJ). In 1993 it was privatized, with an exploitation concession granted to Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S. A. While the formal name of the project is Embalse Ezequiel Ramos Mexía, in common use it ended up acquiring the name of the settlement that served as the construction's base of operations, Villa El Chocón (a small town, population 957, as of 2001). El Chocón is part of a larger engineering scheme that also includes the Cerros Colorados Complex, on the Neuquén River. The Hydroelectric Complex which holds El Chocón and Arroyito Hydroelectric Power Plants, is located in the region known as Comahue, which is formed by the Argentine provinces of Río Negro and Neuquén and the southern area of the Buenos Aires and La Pampa provinces. | Place | Infrastructure | Dam |
The Freedom of the City is a play by the Irish playwright Brian Friel first produced in 1973. It is set in Derry, Northern Ireland in 1970, in the aftermath of a Civil Rights meeting, and follows three protesters who mistakenly find themselves in the mayor's parlour in the Guildhall. The plight of the protesters is that their mistaken circumstance is interpreted as an 'occupation'. The play illustrates their final hours in the Guildhall, their failed escape and the tribunal into their deaths. Following a Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march on 30 January 1972 in the events now known as Bloody Sunday, in which Friel participated, the British 1st Battalion Parachute Regiment opened fire on the protesters which resulted in thirteen deaths. An early form of the play, having been started approximately ten months prior to Bloody Sunday, was modified following the events of the day to entail certain links to the events. | Work | WrittenWork | Play |

The Pola flotilla was an Imperial German Navy (IGN) formation set up to prosecute the U-boat campaign against Allied shipping in the Mediterranean during the First World War in support of Germany’s ally, the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Despite its official name, the (Deutsche U-Halbflotille Pola: German U-Boat Half-Flotilla, Pola), it operated mainly from an advanced base at Cattaro, at the entrance to the Adriatic. The flotilla was made up of U-boats dispatched from German home ports, which travelled via the Atlantic and the Strait of Gibraltar, and coastal type UB- and UC- boats, which were moved in parts by rail to Pola and assembled there at the See-Arsenal of the Austro-Hungarian Navy (Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine: KuK). The Pola Flotilla had a maximum strength of 33 U–boats; due to the favourable conditions for commerce raiding in the Mediterranean, they caused a disproportionately large number of Allied losses during the U-boat campaign. 3.6 million tons of the 14 million tons lost by the Allies were sunk in the Mediterranean. Eight of the IGNs top dozen U-boat aces served in the Pola flotilla, including Lothar von Arnauld de la Perière and Waldemar Kophamel. In all, 45 U-boats served in the Pola Flotilla; 11 boats were lost operationally. In 1918 the unit was divided into two separate Flotillas; the first, based at Pola, and the second, at Cattaro, while the commander, re-titled (''Führer der Unterseeboote im Mittelmeer: U-Boat Leader, Mediterranean) assumed overall command of the forces here and at Constantinople.
