The 1980 Spanish Grand Prix (formally the XXVI Gran Premio de España) was a Formula One motor race held on June 1, 1980 at Circuito Permanente del Jarama. Originally scheduled to be part of the 1980 Formula One World Championship, following the running of the race it was announced that World Championship points would not be awarded to the competitors, making it a non-championship race. The winner of the race was Alan Jones, driving for the Williams team. Jochen Mass finished second for Arrows and Elio de Angelis third for Team Lotus. Owing to disputes as part of the FISA-FOCA war, the race went ahead without the manufacturer teams of Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Renault, because the Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA), then the governing body of Formula One, had declared the race illegal. The other teams drove the race, now sanctioned by the Formula One Constructors Association (FOCA). All teams competing in the race ran Ford engines. Carlos Reutemann, Nelson Piquet and Didier Pironi all retired from the race whilst in the lead, Reutemann due to a collision and Pironi and Piquet because of mechanical problems. Only six of the twenty-two drivers who took the start of the race made it to the end, and only three were on the lead lap. | Event | SportsEvent | GrandPrix |

\"Talking to You\" was the Danish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005, performed in English by Jakob Sveistrup. The song was performed in Danish at Dansk Melodi Grand Prix in 2005, titled \"Tænder på dig\" (\"Turned on by you\"). As Denmark had not finished in the top 10 at the 2004 Contest, the song was performed in the semi-final. Here, it was performed twenty-fourth (following Slovenia's Omar Naber with \"Stop\" and preceding Poland's Ivan & Delfin with \"Czarna dziewczyna\"). It received 185 points to place 3rd in the 25-song semi-final and qualify for the final. In the final, it was performed thirteenth (following Serbia and Montenegro's No Name with \"Zauvijek moja\" and preceding Sweden's Martin Stenmarck with \"Las Vegas\". At the close of voting, it had received 125 points, placing 9th in a field of 24 and ensuring that Denmark would remain in the final at their next Contest appearance. The song itself is a love ballad, with Sveistrup trying to communicate his interest in a woman. He appears quite shy in the lyrics, as he is \"talking to you, through my heart\". Musically, the song owes something to the reggae style of music. The rules of the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix were changed so that songs could be performed in any language, however Jakob Sveistrup, did not take advantage of this and performed his song in Danish at the national finals. In addition to its Contest performance, the song was performed at some length by Sveistrup and Charlie McGettigan at the Congratulations special in late 2005 as part of a medley of favourites. The Danish title \"Tænder på dig\" was actually a line used in the 1997 Danish Eurovision entry Stemmen i mit liv by rapper Kølig Kaj, although the songs clearly have no other connection. It was succeeded as Danish representative at the 2006 Contest by Sidsel Ben Semmane with \"Twist of Love\". | Work | Song | EurovisionSongContestEntry |

Planet Nine is a hypothetical large planet in the far outer Solar System, the gravitational effects of which would explain the improbable orbital configuration of a group of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) that orbit mostly beyond the Kuiper belt. In a 2014 letter to the journal Nature, astronomers Chad Trujillo and Scott S. Sheppard inferred the possible existence of a massive trans-Neptunian planet from similarities in the orbits of the distant trans-Neptunian objects Sedna and 2012 VP113. On 20 January 2016, researchers Konstantin Batygin and Michael E. Brown at Caltech explained how a massive outer planet would be the likeliest explanation for the similarities in orbits of six distant objects, and they proposed specific orbital parameters. The predicted planet would be a super-Earth, with an estimated mass of 10 Earths (approximately 5,000 times the mass of Pluto), a diameter two to four times that of Earth, and a highly elliptical orbit with an orbital period of approximately 15,000 years. On the basis of models of planet formation that might include planetary migration from the inner Solar System, such as the fifth giant planet hypothesis, Batygin and Brown suggest that it may be a primordial giant planet core that was ejected from its original orbit during the nebular epoch of the Solar System's evolution. | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |

Amylostereum is the single genus in the fungal family Amylostereaceae. The genus currently comprises four saprotrophic and parasitic species, which live off living or dead wood. The Amylostereaceae cause white rot in the wood by disintegrating the tissue component lignin. They produce crust-like, partially wavy fruit bodies on the surface of infested trees, which are similar to those produced by Stereum species. There are four described species in the Amylostereaceae: A. chailletii (the type), A. areolatum, A. ferreum and A. laevigatum. The species were initially considered part of Stereum until mycologist Jacques Boidin found atypical microscopic differences between them. Forty years after his extensive researches from 1958, Boidin reclassified Amylostereum into its own family. Three Amylostereum species are symbionts of wood wasps in the genera Sirex, Urocerus, and Xoanon, which infest conifers. The female wood wasps deposit their eggs together with fungal spores and mucus in trees, and the fungus is eaten by the wasp's larva as food. The fungus propagates vegetatively through the formation of asexual spores in newly emerged females that are stored in special structures adapted for the transport of symbiotic fungi. The A. areolatum–Sirex woodwasp (S. noctilio) symbiont complex has been studied extensively because of its potential to cause substantial economic losses in the forestry industry, particularly in non-native regions. | Species | Eukaryote | Fungus |

8776 Campestris, provisional designation 2287 T-3, is a stony asteroid from the middle region of the asteroid belt, about 10 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 16 October 1977, by Dutch astronomer couple Cornelis and Ingrid van Houten at Leiden Observatory, and Dutch–American astronomer Tom Gehrels at the U.S Palomar Observatory in California. The S-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.1–3.2 AU once every 4 years and 5 months (1,611 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.20 and an inclination of 3° with respect to the ecliptic. In 2009, two photometric light-curve analysis at the U.S Palomar Transient Factory, California, gave it a rotation period of 9.2982±0.0118 and 9.2990±0.0064 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.35 and 0.38 in magnitude, respectively (U=2). According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the asteroid measures 10.5 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.058. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link (CALL) assumes a higher albedo of 0.10 and calculates a diameter of 7.5 kilometers. The special designation T-3 stands for the third Palomar–Leiden Trojan survey, named after the fruitful collaboration of the Palomar and Leiden Observatory in the 1960s and 1970s. Gehrels used Palomar's Samuel Oschin telescope (also known as the 48-inch Schmidt Telescope), and shipped the photographic plates to Cornelis and Ingrid van Houten-Groeneveld at Leiden Observatory where astrometry was carried out. The trio of astronomers are credited with the discovery of 4,619 minor planets. The minor planet is named for the passerine bird Anthus campestris, or tawny pipit. It is on the Dutch Red List of birds endangered in the Netherlands. It is also on the European Red List of Birds as of 2015. | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |

6025 Naotosato, provisional designation 1992 YA3, is an Eoan asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 19 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 30 December 1992, by Japanese astronomer Takeshi Urata at the Nihondaira Observatory in Oohira, Japan. The S-type asteroid is a member of the Eos family, an orbital group of more than 4,000 asteroids, which are well known for mostly being of stony composition. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.8–3.2 AU once every 5 years and 3 months (1,918 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.07 and an inclination of 9° with respect to the ecliptic.The first observation was made at Goethe Link Observatory in 1954, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 38 years prior to its discovery. In September 2009, a rotational light-curve for this asteroid was obtained from photometric observations by French astronomer René Roy. The fragmentary light-curve gave a longer-than average rotation period of 10 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.20 in magnitude (U=1). According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the asteroid measures nearly 20 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.148 and 0.162, respectively,while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.14 and calculates a diameter of 17.8 kilometers. The minor planet was named after Japanese amateur astronomer Naoto Satō (b. 1953 ), by profession a junior high school science teacher and a prolific discoverer of minor planets from his private Chichibu Observatory himself. He has also prediscovered C/1989 Y2, a parabolic comet credited to McKenzie–Russell. Naming citation was published on 2 February 1999 (M.P.C. 33786). | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |

Ernst Loof (4 July 1907 in Neindorf near Oschersleben – 3 March 1956 in Bonn) was an automotive engineer and racing driver from Neindorf, Germany. He contributed to the design of the BMW 328 sports car in the late 1930s. He participated in one World Championship Grand Prix, on 2 August 1953, but he retired with fuel pump failure after two meters of racing and scored no championship points. Due to only making it two feet off the starting grid, Loof is actually the driver with the shortest Formula One career, not Marco Apicella who is frequently and falsely given that title. Loof was also a famous motorcycle racer and designer, who scored numerous successes in pre-war years for Imperia of Bad Godesberg and for BMW. He later became one of the founders of the Veritas company, successful in Formula Two with the Meteor racer in the immediate post-war period. The company also built sports cars, mostly BMW-engined, as well as the Panhard-engined Dyna-Veritas cabriolets. Loof was the head designer of the Veritas car he drove in this race. The company had already gone bankrupt by this time, and its assets were purchased by BMW. He was hired by BMW in styling and body engineering and worked there until he retired due to illness. Loof died in 1956 of a brain tumour. | Agent | RacingDriver | FormulaOneRacer |

King's Highway 420, commonly referred to as Highway 420, is a 400-series highway in the Canadian province of Ontario that connects the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) with downtown Niagara Falls. It continues east as a limited-access expressway named Niagara Regional Road 420 to connect with the Rainbow Bridge international crossing between Canada and the United States over the Niagara River; this was part of Highway 420 until 1998. West of the QEW, the freeway ends at an at-grade intersection with Montrose Road (Niagara Regional Road 98). The highway has a speed limit of 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph), making it the only 400-series highway to have a speed limit less than 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) for its entirety. Originally constructed as a divided four lane road with two traffic circles, the route of Highway 420 formed part of the QEW between 1941 and 1972 before being assigned a unique route number. This took place during the reconstruction of the four lane divided highway into a freeway and the construction of the large interchange at the freeway's western terminus. In 1998, the section of Highway 420 east of Stanley Avenue was transferred to the responsibility of the Regional Municipality of Niagara and redesignated as Regional Road 420. | Place | RouteOfTransportation | Road |
The Shoppes at Parma, formerly Parmatown Mall, is a shopping mall located in Parma, Ohio, (being renovated to being an outdoor shopping mall, like Crocker Park) approximately 10 miles (16 km) south of Cleveland. It is located at the southwest corner of State Route 3 and Ridgewood Drive in southern Cuyahoga County. It is anchored by J.C. Penney, Walmart and other stores. The mall opened as a shopping plaza in 1956 and was enclosed in the mid-1960s. Its original anchors were Higbee's and May Company. Higbee's became Dillard's in 1992, and closed in 2000. The old Higbee's structure was demolished and replaced with a new Walmart in 2004. May Company became Kaufmann's in 1992 and Kaufmann's became Macy's in 2006. A Kresge also served as a fourth anchor store until it was closed in the early 1980s to make way for an expansion. Parts of the original plaza remain open-air, with Chuck E. Cheese's and Marc's as major tenants. It has about 50+ stores. The mall was renovated in the early 2000s. The mall is currently being renovated to be an outdoor shopping center, with the interior demolished for store fronts. From 1967 to 2004, a five-screen cinema operated in the Dillard's wing of the mall. General Cinema opened the Parmatown Theater with two screens, which was unheard of at the time. A third screen opened in the 1970s, along with two more in the 1980s. General Cinema closed the theater in 2001. A year later, a chain known as Cinema Grill leased the theater, renovated the front lobby, and made modifications to allow customers to eat meals while watching movies.
