 ria - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
The south coast of England is a submergent coastline, and contains many rias, including Portsmouth harbour, Southampton water, Poole harbour; the estuaries of the Exe, Teign and Dart, the Kingsbridge estuary, and Plymouth Sound in Devon; and the estuaries of the River Fowey and River Fal in Cornwall.
Chesapeake Bay and Delaware Bay, on the east coast of the United States, and San Francisco Bay, on the Pacific coast, are rias.
The Kingsbridge estuary is an extreme example of a ria forming an estuary disproportionate to the size of its river, because no river flows into it at all, only a number of small streams.

 Eurovision Song Contest
Eurovision is the television network supervised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), and was established in the early 1950s to serve two functions: to share the costs of programming with international interest between the broadcasting services of member nations, and to promote cultural appreciation and identification throughout western Europe.
The Eurovision Song Contest is a long, live Saturday evening showcase of pop music talent that typically ranges from the indescribably bad, through the insufferably indifferent, to a few catchy little numbers.
In estimating the significance of the Eurovision Song Contest, perhaps less attention should be given to its bloated festivity or the derivative nature of the contenders' music.

 Eurovision Song Contest - MSN Encarta
Eurovision Song Contest, annual competition broadcast on television across Europe to choose the best pop song from single entries put forward by each participating country (now numbering more than 20).
The contest was devised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU, a consortium of state-owned broadcasting companies) in 1956, and was designed to exploit the new potential for linking television broadcasts across Europe for live transmissions, the broadcasting centres being connected at that time by permanent landlines.
Successful Eurovision music, shaped by its need to appeal across a wide range of national musical cultures, has always had its own character, little touched by the various stylistic strands of mainstream Anglo-American rock that have been the dominant force in popular music over the second half of the 20th century.
