1988 1990
The Eurovision Song Contest 1989 was the 34th annual Eurovision Song Contest. It was held on 6 May 1989 in
Lausanne, Switzerland, after Celine Dion's victory in Dublin the previous year. The program was presented by Lolita
Morena and Jacques Deschenaux. Riva, representing Yugoslavia, won with the song Rock Me. This was the only
victory for Yugoslavia as a unified state.

The United Kingdom's Ray Caruana, lead singer with Live Report was outspoken about coming second to what he
considered a much less worthy song. They had been defeated by 7 points.
Two of the performers, Nathalie Pque and Gili Natanael were respectively 11 and 12 years old at their time of
competing. Due to bad publicity surrounding their participation, the European Broadcasting Union introduced the
rule stating no performer is allowed to take part before the year of their 16th birthday.
The previous year's winner, Celine Dion, opened the show with a live performance of her winning song and a mimed
performance of her first English-language single, "Where Does My Heart Beat Now". The song went on to become a
top ten hit in the US a year later - effectively launching her into international success.

Flag of the State of Israel of 25 Tishrei 5709 (28 October 1948) provides the official specification for the design of the Israeli flag. The color of the Magen David and the stripes of the Israeli flag
is not precisely specified by the above legislation. The color depicted in the current version of the image is typical of flags used in Israel today, although individual flags can and do vary. The flag
legislation officially specifies dimensions of 220 cm 160 cm. However, the sizes of actual flags vary (although the aspect ratio is usually retained).
