Forogj, világ! (English translation: \"Spin, World!\") was the Hungarian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005, performed in Hungarian by NOX.The song is folk-inspired, in which the singer asks the world to continue spinning in order that she may discover more about herself. She sings \"I want to be somewhere else for a long time\", implying that she is impatient for the world to spin in order to leave her old life behind. The Eurovision performance featured Hungarian folk dancers, reminiscent of Ruslana's energetic performance of \"Wild Dances\" at the 2004 Contest, as well as of Riverdance (itself a former Contest interval act). At the opening, Tamás Nagy was eventually joined by four others who provided vocal support for lead singer Szilvia Péter Szabó, who wore a revealing black costume and performed a simplified version of the dance routine during the chorus. As Hungary had not taken part in the Contest since 1998, the song was initially performed in the semi-final of the Contest. Here, it was performed fifteenth (following Romania's Luminiţa Anghel & Sistem with \"Let Me Try\" and preceding Finland's Geir Rönning with \"Why\"). In the semi-final voting, it received 167 points, and placed 5th in the 25-strong field; high enough to qualify for the final. In the final, it was performed first (preceding the United Kingdom's Javine with Touch My Fire). At the close of voting, it had received 97 points, placing 12th in a field of 24 despite strong early results. This result would have relegated Hungary to the semi-final had they competed in the 2006 Contest. The following year, in 2006 an English version was recorded, entitled \"Spin, World\". Just like the previous Hungarian entry (A holnap már nem lesz szomorú), the title was taken from the direct English translation of the Hungarian title, even though the exact title does not appear in the English version. It was succeeded as the Hungarian representative at the 2007 Contest by Magdi Rúzsa with Unsubstantial Blues. | Work | Song | EurovisionSongContestEntry |

The York to Beverley Line was a railway line between York, Market Weighton and Beverley in Yorkshire, England. The line was sanctioned in 1846 and the first part, the York to Market Weighton Line opened in 1847. Construction of the second part to Beverley was delayed for 17 years in part by the downfall of George Hudson, and a less favourable financial environment following the collapse of the 1840's railway bubble; the North Eastern Railway revived and completed the scheme in the 1860s; the Market Weighton to Beverley Line opened in 1865. The line left the York and Scarborough Railway at a junction north of York and turned eastward, crossing the largely flat terrain of the Vale of York via Stamford Bridge, Pocklington and Market Weighton before making its way through a hillier ground through a gap in the Yorkshire Wolds, between Market Weighton and Goodmanham; the line then ran steadily downhill to the River Hull valley past Cherry Burton to a junction with the Hull to Scarborough Line at Beverley. Market Weighton became the junction of two other railways, the Selby to Market Weighton Line, sanctioned at the same time as the original York-Beverley scheme, and opened in 1848; and the Scarborough, Bridlington and West Riding Junction Railway (Market Weighton to Driffield), opened in 1890 The line once was a preferred route for trains running directly between the English cities of York and Kingston upon Hull. Before closure the route Hull - Beverley - Market Weighton - York had daily direct trains and was often referred to as the Hull to York Line. The line was recommended for closure in the 1963 Beeching report and closed in November 1965. | Place | RouteOfTransportation | RailwayLine |

Capricorn Mountain is one of the several volcanic peaks of the Mount Meager massif in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. The slopes of Capricorn Mountain appear to be more gentle than other volcanic peaks of the massif. The mountain consists of a boomerang-shaped ridge, with one summit on each end of the boomerang and the main summit in the centre. On August 6, 2010, a large debris flow started in the vicinity of the Capricorn Mountain. The dam created by the debris flow, on Meager Creek, lasted about one day and was about 30 m (98 ft) high, and impounded water in a temporary lake about 4 km (2.5 mi) long. The debris flow also crossed the Lillooet River downstream and wiped out a forestry road on the opposite bank of the Lillooet River. The response of emergency personnel, fearing a sudden failure of the dam on Meager Creek, was to direct residents on the Lillooet River floodplain, in the village of Pemberton 55 km (34 mi) downstream and in the Lil'wat community at Mount Currie to evacuate the area. | Place | NaturalPlace | Volcano |

Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates is a massively multiplayer online game developed by Three Rings Design, a company acquired by Sega Sammy Holdings in 2011. The player takes the role of a pirate, adventuring on the high seas and pillaging money (\"pieces of eight\") from roaming enemy ships (human or computer-controlled). The mechanics of Puzzle Pirates are driven by puzzles. For example, to effectively sail a ship, players must play puzzle games representing work at the sails for speed, pumping bilge water to remove it from the ship, and carpentry to fix any damage the ship may take. Puzzle Pirates is open-ended and community-driven. Over time, pirates can join a crew, progress in rank within that crew, buy and run sailing vessels and shoppes, and perhaps even become captain of a crew, royalty within a flag (an alliance of crews), or governor of an island. Islands are governed and shoppes are managed exclusively by players. From time to time, players are also called upon to help expand the game, whether it be new puzzles (developed on Game Gardens), island objects to be used on new oceans (servers), or artwork used for a variety of purposes in-game. Players are encouraged by Three Rings to use pirate-themed words and phrases such as \"Yarr!\" and \"Ahoy there, matey!\" instead of \"Hi\", etc. and Ocean Masters - the moderators of Puzzle Pirates - use these phrases and more. The tips which appear in the game's News, which is updated regularly, use terms such as \"Jackanapes\". As of December 2008, there are 4 million pirates registered to the game. On August 31, 2011, the game was made free-to-play on Steam. Support for an iPad platform was developed and released in 2013. Three Rings later announced the removal of the iPad application and ceased support of the platform in July, 2014. On April 5, 2016, Three Rings Design announced that support of Puzzle Pirates would be no longer be supplied by Three Rings Design, but instead by a company called Grey Havens, who are former developers of Puzzle Pirates and that the game would maintain support through this new company. | Work | Software | VideoGame |
William Thomas Lockwood (26 June 1868 – 29 August 1953) was an Australian cricketer who played a single first-class match for Western Australia during the 1898–99 season. Born in Geelong, Victoria, Lockwood emigrated to Perth, Western Australia, sometime in the late 19th century. In grade cricket matches, he played for the West Perth Cricket Club, where he was a leading batsman. Lockwood's only match at first-class level came against South Australia, during its tour of Western Australia at the end of the 1898–99 season. In the match, played at the WACA Ground in early April 1899, Lockwood opened the batting with Arthur Hoskings in both innings, recording a duck in the first innings and 21 runs in the second innings. In the first innings, he was particularly troubled by the bowling of future Test cricketer Joe Travers, who eventually had him caught at point by Fred Hack. Lockwood's second innings produced a notable incident. He hit a ball from Robert Homburg to square leg and ran five runs, and then completed another two runs from an overthrow. He and Hoskings thus ran seven runs off a single ball, in total combining for a 39-run opening partnership before Lockwood was dismissed by Victor Hugo. Although not playing at state level again, Lockwood remained involved in cricket well into the early decades of the 1900s, and played in a veterans' match as late as April 1930, which included former teammate Ted Bishop. He died at the Hawthorn Hospital, in Mount Hawthorn (a suburb of Perth), in August 1953. | Agent | Athlete | Cricketer |

The Tangbunia Bank (whose name has been widely mis-reported as Tari Bunia) is a bank run by the Turaga indigenous movement on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu. It is notable for dealing in items of customary wealth such as hand-woven mats, shells or pig tusks rather than Western currency. Accounts at the bank are reckoned in livatu, a unit equivalent to the value of one fully curved boar's tusk. The Tangbunia Bank has fourteen branches throughout the island, with its headquarters at Lavatmanggemu. The bank's manager is Chief Viraleo Boborenvanua. It was set up in accordance with the national government's support for the indigenous customary economy, in a country where a majority of the population does not participate extensively in a monetary economy. According to the British Broadcasting Corporation, the bank is similar to other banks in that it has \"accounts, reserves, cheque books and tight security\". The bank is named after the giant baskets in which valuables were traditionally stored. Record-keeping at the Tangbunia bank is done using Avoiuli, a local writing system devised by Chief Viraleo. | Agent | Company | Bank |

The Rodrigues rail or Leguat's gelinote (Erythromachus leguati) is an extinct, flightless rail that was endemic to the Mascarene island of Rodrigues, east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. It was described as having grey plumage, a red beak, red legs, and a naked red patch around the eye. The beak varied between specimens from straight to curved, but the reason for this is unknown. It is sometimes assigned to the genus Aphanapteryx, along with its close relative the red rail (A. bonasia) of Mauritius, but they are commonly kept separate. Its relationship with other rails is unclear. It was described as being attracted to red objects, which humans exploited while hunting it. The Rodrigues rail is believed to have become extinct in the mid-18th century because of destruction of its habitat and predation by humans and introduced animals. Apart from information gathered from subfossil bones, the bird is poorly understood and is only known from two contemporaneous descriptions, and there are no extant illustrations of it. The bird was first described by François Leguat, a French Huguenot refugee marooned on Rodrigues in 1691, and was named leguati in his honour. The second description is by Julien Tafforet, also marooned on the island in 1726. Subfossil remains were first described and connected with the extant descriptions in 1874. | Species | Animal | Bird |

Salchow won the World Figure Skating Championships ten times, from 1901 to 1905, and from 1907 to 1911.

When figure skating was first contested at the Summer Olympic Games in London (1908), Salchow also won the title with ease. In addition, Salchow won the European Championships a record nine times (1898–1900, 1904, 1906–1907, 1909–1910, 1913) and placed second in the World Championships three times. In 1909, Ulrich Salchow first landed a jump in competition in which he took off on the back inside edge, and landed on the back outside edge of his other foot. This jump is now known as the Salchow jump in his honor. After his competitive days, Salchow remained active in the sport, and was president of the International Skating Union (ISU) from 1925 to 1937. Furthermore, he was the chairman of AIK in Stockholm between 1928 and 1939 - the leading Swedish club in football, ice-hockey, bandy, tennis and other sports.

The Łeba (German: Leba) is a river in Middle Pomerania, Poland, that originates near the village of Borzestowo west of Kartuzy, passes through Łebsko Lake and empties into the Baltic Sea. It is 117 km long with a basin area of 1,801 km². The town of Lębork lies on the river Łeba, while the town of Łeba on the Baltic coast was originally located west of the present-day mouth of the river. In the 12th century the lower Łeba had marked the eastern border of the Land of Słupsk-Sławno, ruled by the Pomeranian (Griffin) duke Ratibor I and his descendants, while the territory around the castellany of Białogarda was a possession of the Pomerelian duke Sobieslaw I of the Samborides dynasty. After Poland regained Pomerelia in 1294, Łeba was a boundary between the Polish Part of Pomerania and the Duchy of Pomerania. In 1308, after the Teutonic takeover of Danzig (Gdańsk) and the Treaty of Soldin (Myślibórz), the river formed the western border of the Order's Pomerelian lands with the Duchy of Pomerania until 1466, when Poland regained Pomerelia. From that time the mouth of the Łeba on the Baltic coast marked the northeasternmost point of the Holy Roman Empire till its dissolution in 1806. The adjacent Pomerelian lands of Lauenburg and Bütow (Lębork i Bytów) became a fief of the Polish Crown according to the Second Peace of Thorn (1466). | Place | Stream | River |
