The history of coal mining goes back thousands of years.
 It became important in the Industrial Revolution of the 19th and 20th centuries, when it was primarily used to power steam engines, heat buildings and generate electricity.
 Coal mining continues as an important economic activity today.
 Compared to wood fuels, coal yields a higher amount of energy per mass and can often be obtained in areas where wood is not readily available.
 Though it was used historically as a domestic fuel, coal is now used mostly in industry, especially in smelting and alloy production as well as electricity generation.
 Large-scale coal mining developed during the Industrial Revolution, and coal provided the main source of primary energy for industry and transportation in industrial areas from the 18th century to the 1950s.
 Coal remains an important energy source because of its low cost and abundance compared to other fuels, particularly for electricity generation.
 Coal is also mined today on a large scale by open pit methods wherever the coal strata strike the surface or are relatively shallow.
 Britain developed the main techniques of underground coal mining from the late 18th century onward, with further progress being driven by 19th century and early 20th century progress.
 However, oil and gas were increasingly used as alternatives from the 1860s onward.
FIFA Player of the Century was a one-off award created by FIFA to decide the greatest football player of the 20th century, announced at the annual FIFA World gala, held in Rome on 11 December 2000.
 Diego Maradona and Pele were joint winners of the award.
 Maradona won the award based on the Internet poll, while Pelé won the award based on votes from FIFA officials, journalists and coaches.
Encarnación de Díaz is a town and municipality located in the far northeast of the state of Jalisco in north central Mexico.
 It is located in a natural pass that connects the Los Altos region of Jalisco to points north, and from pre Hispanic times until the 20th century, it was a major thoroughfare for north-south travel.
 The town began as a way station along a road built through this pass in the 17th century, formally becoming a town in 1760.
 It began to function as a municipality in the latter 19th century, but this status was not confirmed until the early 20th.
 Transport, along with numerous prosperous haciendas supported the economy of the area until the early 20th century, when travel patterns and the Mexican Revolution spurred its decline.
 In the 1920s, it was a center of rebellion during the Cristero War, and the town contains Mexico’s only museum exclusively dedicated to this episode in history.
 It also contains a museum dedicated to various naturally occurring mummies which have been found in the municipal cemetery.
Luke "Sonny" Pike (born 1983/1984) is an English former footballer who became famous at a young age for his tremendous talent which saw him being compared to other famous stars such as Diego Maradona and George Best.
Ecology is a new science and considered as an important branch of biological science, having only become prominent during the second half of the 20th century.
 Ecological thought is derivative of established currents in philosophy, particularly from ethics and politics.
 Its history stems all the way back to the 4th century.
 One of the first ecologists whose writings survive may have been Aristotle or perhaps his student, Theophrastus, both of whom had interest in many species of animals and plants.
 Theophrastus described interrelationships between animals and their environment as early as the 4th century BC.
 Ecology developed substantially in the 18th and 19th century.
 It began with Carl Linnaeus and his work with the economy of nature.
 Soon after came Alexander von Humboldt and his work with botanical geography.
 Alfred Russel Wallace and Karl Möbius then contributed with the notion of biocoenosis.
 Eugenius Warming’s work with ecological plant geography led to the founding of ecology as a discipline.
 Charles Darwin’s work also contributed to the science of ecology, and Darwin is often attributed with progressing the discipline more than anyone else in its young history.
 Ecological thought expanded even more in the early 20th century.
 Major contributions included: Eduard Suess’ and Vladimir Vernadsky’s work with the biosphere, Arthur Tansley’s ecosystem, Charles Elton's "Animal Ecology", and Henry Cowles ecological succession.
 Ecology influenced the social sciences and humanities.
 Human ecology began in the early 20th century and it recognized humans as an ecological factor.
 Later James Lovelock advanced views on earth as a macro-organism with the Gaia hypothesis.
 Conservation stemmed from the science of ecology.
 Important figures and movements include Shelford and the ESA, National Environmental Policy act, George Perkins Marsh, Theodore Roosevelt, Stephen A. Forbes, and post-Dust Bowl conservation.
 Later in the 20th century world governments collaborated on man’s effects on the biosphere and Earth’s environment.
FIFA Female Player of the Century was an award created by the global governing body FIFA to decide the greatest football female player of the 20th century.
 American player Michelle Akers was presented with the honor when at the FIFA World Player of the Year Awards Gala in Rome, Italy on 11 December 2000.
The Hopkins Mill District is a historic district in Foster, Rhode Island.
 It encompasses a historic mill village that extends along Old Danielson Pike between its two junctions with Danielson Pike (United States Route 6).
 The area has been the site of mills (at first grist- and sawmills) since the 18th century, and includes one of Foster's oldest houses, the c. 1720 Hopkins-Potter House at 21 Old Danielson Pike.
 Prominent public buildings in the district include the c. 1830 Curtis Hall at 18 Danielson Pike, which was long used as a tavern and social gathering place, and the 1869-71 Hopkins Falls Union Church.
As the governing body of association football, FIFA is responsible for maintaining and implementing the rules that determine whether an association football player is eligible to represent a particular country in officially recognised international competitions and friendly matches.
 In the 20th century, FIFA allowed a player to represent any national team, as long as the player held citizenship of that country.
 In 2004, in reaction to the growing trend towards naturalisation of foreign players in some countries, FIFA implemented a significant new ruling that requires a player to demonstrate a "clear connection" to any country they wish to represent.
 FIFA has used its authority to overturn results of competitive international matches that feature ineligible players.
The Lime Kilns of Lincoln, Rhode Island, are the remnants of three colonial-era lime kilns, all that is left of one of the oldest lime processing operations in North America.
 They are located respectively off Louisquisset Pike, Sherman and Dexter Rock Roads in an area that has been known for its lime processing since the 17th century.
 When originally built, they were roughly cylindrical structures fashioned out of unmortared rubble stone.
 The first kiln, whose ruins are located near the Flanagan campus of the Community College of Rhode Island west of Louisquisset Pike (approximately ), was the largest of the three, nearly 20 ft in diameter.
 The second kiln remains are located to the south of Sherman Road, near its junction with Louisquisset Pike (approximately ).
 In 1984 the standing walls were 8 ft high, with three recognizable openings.
 The third kiln, of which only a partial wall remains standing, is located on the south side of Dexter Rock Road (approximately ).
