# Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 1969

Belgium was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1969 with the song "Jennifer Jennings", composed by Paul Quintens, with lyrics by Phil van Cauwenbergh, and performed by Louis Neefs. The Belgian participating broadcaster, Flemish Belgische Radio- en Televisieomroep (BRT), selected its entry through a national final, after having previously selected the performer internally. Neefs had previously represented Belgium in 1967.

## Before Eurovision
### Artist selection

In December 1968, BRT announced that they had internally selected Louis Neefs to represent Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 1969.

### Nationale Finale Eurovisiesongfestival

Nationale Finale Eurovisiesongfestival was the national final format developed by BRT in order to select the Belgian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1969.

#### Competing entries

Following the announcement of Neefs as Belgian representative, a song submission period was opened where composers were able to submit their songs until 24 January 1969. 127 songs were received by the broadcaster at the end of the deadline, and on 28 January 1969, six were selected for the national final.

#### Final

The final was held on 22 February 1969 from 9:05 to 10:00 CET at the Amerikaans Theater in Brussels and was hosted by Jan Theys. Six songs competed in the contest, with the winner being decided upon by a 7-member jury panel who each chose their favourite song. In addition to the performances of the competing entries, guest performers included Barry Ryan and Noëlle Cordier.
Final – 22 February 1969 :
| Draw | Song | Songwriter(s) | Songwriter(s) | Points | Place |
| Draw | Song | Composer(s) | Lyricist(s) | Points | Place |

| 6 | "Jennifer Jennings" | Paul Quintens | Phil van Cauwenbergh | 7 | 1 |

## At Eurovision

On the night of the final Neefs performed 10th in the running order, following Sweden and preceding Switzerland. Neefs is remembered for his quirky performance, which involved throwing his arms in the air in an apparently random manner. At the close of the voting "Jennifer Jennings" had received 10 points (3 from the United Kingdom, 2 from Norway, Spain, and Switzerland and 1 from the Netherlands), placing Belgium joint 7th (with Ireland) of the 16 competing entries. The result matched Neefs' 7th place in 1967. The Belgian jury awarded its highest mark (3) to joint contest winners Spain.

# Northrop Field

Northrop Field was the on-campus stadium of the Minnesota Golden Gophers football team from 1899 to 1923. The original field had seating of around 3,000 and was named for University President Cyrus Northrop. After the 1902 season, the playing field was moved and new seating was added that allowed for crowds of up to 20,000. The stadium was sometimes referred to as Greater Northrop Field after 1902. In 1903, the first season at the enlarged field, the Gophers played the Michigan Wolverines in the first Little Brown Jug game. The stadium continued on as the football team's home until the end of the 1923 season. The U of M then built Memorial Stadium and moved there in 1924.
The football team played at various fields on campus and around Minneapolis, including the field next to the University of Minnesota Armory and the downtown Athletic Park next to the West Hotel, from 1882 to 1898.

# Ecuadorian Revolution of 2005

The Ecuadorian Revolution of 2005 was a widespread protest against corruption, high prices, and the rule of President Lucio Gutiérrez that paralysed Ecuador in 2005. It included mass demonstrations, general strikes and popular rioting and violent clashes. What started as nonviolent anti-government protests in March mushroomed into violent rioting and spread countywide. Protesters demanded the fall of the government and an end to corruption. Political tensions had been rising since the return of former President Abdalá Bucaram to Ecuador and a ruling by the Supreme Court clearing him of corruption charges.

## Revolt

Protesters took to the streets in large numbers not seen since 1997. Protestors called for an end to corruption, austerity measures, refunds and the return of subsidies for fuel and basic food stuffs. 10,000-25,000 protesters marched throughout the country on 19–22 April. The military quashed protests, leading to violent scenes.
The government of Lucio Gutiérrez was forced to flee and resign in April 2005.
In August, rioting occurred, halting oil production. Massive street protests demanded wage increases and better lifestyle conditions. Protesters also demonstrated against the oil shutdown.
A wave of social unrest led to a state of emergency in March 2006. In April, hundreds were injured during youth protests and clashes with soldiers amid growing civil disobedience and campaigns.

# Lotte Berk

Lieselotte "Lotte" Berk (13 January 1913 – 4 November 2003) was a German-born dancer and teacher, who lived in England from 1938. In 1959, she developed her own method of exercise, drawing on ballet moves and positions, that concentrated on the idea of building "core stability". In the 21st century, derivatives of her method are offered by gyms and studios as barre classes.

## Biography

Lotte Berk was born Lieselotte Heymansohn on 13 January 1913, in Cologne, Germany, to a German mother and Russian-born father, both of whom were Jewish. Her mother died of a stroke when Lotte was aged eight; her father, Nicolai Heymansohn, had been a tailor and owned a chain of menswear shops.
She initially studied the piano for 11 years, according to her father's wishes, but she preferred dancing and went on to train under modern dance pioneer Mary Wigman. At 18, Lotte was dancing with prominent companies, for famous choreographers and conductors including Carl Ebert, Bruno Walter and Fritz Busch, and at such events as the Salzburg Festival in Austria.
In 1933, she married a fellow dancer Ernst Berk, and their daughter Esther was born the following year. With the rise of Nazism in the 1930s, they fled Germany and because her husband had a British passport, the family was able to live in England, where Berk worked as a model at Heatherley School of Fine Art and danced at Covent Garden for Marie Rambert. Her style of dancing did not appeal to the British and she knew she would have to change careers to make a living. In the 1950s, with the help of an osteopath, she developed a series of exercises based on her experience with dancing. Similar to pilates and yoga, the Lotte Berk method concentrates on targeting specific areas for strength and flexibility training.
In 1959, at the age of 46, Berk opened a women-only exercise studio in London: the Manchester Street Studio for Exercise. She gave certain exercises unusual names, such as "the Prostitute", "the Peeing Dog" and the "French Lavatory".
In her 40s, she moved in with a painter, with the permission of her husband, who suggested that she do so for two years, after which he would take her back. At the age of 50, her 30-year marriage came to an end. She married again, to Herbert Felix Rieser, a commercial photographer, in 1964; the second marriage lasted three weeks, though they maintained a lasting friendship.
Berk continued to teach her method of exercise well into her 80s. Her clients included Joan Collins, Britt Ekland, Barbra Streisand, Siân Phillips, Edna O'Brien and Yasmin Le Bon.
Berk died aged 90 on 4 November 2003 at the Brendoncare Foundation, Froxfield, Wiltshire. She was survived by her daughter, who continued to teach her mother's method from a studio at Hungerford, in Berkshire, and wrote a biography of Berk entitled My Improper Mother and Me (Pomona, 2010, ISBN 978-1904590262).

# Leadfield, California

Leadfield was an unincorporated community, and historic mining town in Inyo County, California. It is now a ghost town. It is located in Titus Canyon in the Grapevine Mountains, east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park. Leadfield lies at an elevation of 4,058 ft (1,237 m). It is on the National Register of Historic Places.

## History

Ore was being exploited in Titus Canyon as early as 1905, but the townsite of Leadfield at the head of the canyon dates to the years 1925 and 1926. The product of extensive and fraudulent advertising by the Western Lead Mine Company and C.C. Julian, the town boomed in 1925. His advertising posters showed steamboats navigating the Amargosa River to Leadfield, ignoring the fact that the Amargosa River is dry much of the time and does not run within 20 miles of Leadfield.
Fifteen miles of road were built up the canyon to connect with the road to Beatty, Nevada, a concrete foundation for a stamp mill was poured, and the beginning of a series of power poles for electric lines were installed.
Historic photographs show some frame and corrugated metal buildings and there is evidence of a few dugouts, but the majority of the denizens of Leadfield lived in tents of varying sizes and construction. The population peaked at around 300 in 1926, with a post office opening in August of that year. However, by February 1927, the post office closed down and the town died.
Julian disappeared and the inhabitants soon became disillusioned and quickly drifted away. The significance of the site lies in the fact it was an example of one of the get-rich-quick schemes of the wild 1920s.

## Visiting

The remains of the town include a few rusted metal sheds and two locked, abandoned mine shafts, as of 2005. The town is reachable by one-way Titus Canyon Road at the eastern end of Titus Canyon, near Beatty, Nevada.
