Generic top-level domain

Generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are one of the categories of top-level domains (TLDs) maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use in the Domain Name System of the Internet. A top-level domain is the last label of every fully qualified domain name. They are called generic for historic reasons; initially, they were contrasted with country-specific TLDs in RFC 920.

The core group of generic top-level domains consists of the com, info, net, and org domains. In addition, the domains biz, name, and pro are also considered generic; however, these are designated as restricted, because registrations within them require proof of eligibility within the guidelines set for each.

Historically, the group of generic top-level domains included domains, created in the early development of the domain name system, that are now sponsored by designated agencies or organizations and are restricted to specific types of registrants. Thus, domains edu, gov, int, and mil are now considered sponsored top-level domains, much like the themed top-level domains (e.g., jobs). The entire group of domains that do not have a geographic or country designation (see country-code top-level domain) is still often referred to by the term generic TLDs.

Dance (Disco Heat)

"Dance (Disco Heat)" is the title of a 1978 single by American disco singer Sylvester James, who performed using just his first name, Sylvester. The song became Sylvester's first Top 40 hit in the US, where it peaked at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the fall of 1978; it also reached #29 on the UK Singles Chart. The song appears on his 1978 album, Step II.

A 12" single was released in 1978, with "Dance (Disco Heat)" as the A-side and "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" as the B-side, and these two extended dance mixes proved to be very popular in the dance clubs at the time. The two songs held down the top spot on the Billboard Dance/Disco chart for six weeks in August and September of that year and helped to establish Sylvester's career as a noted disco and dance music performer, both in the U.S. and abroad.

Anita (singer)

Anita (born Anita Spanner, 22 December 1960 in Fürstenfeld District, Styria) is an Austrian singer, best known for her participation in the 1984 Eurovision Song Contest.

Eurovision Song Contest

Anita came to the Austrian Eurovision selection in 1984 as a virtual unknown, but her song "Einfach weg" ("Simply Gone") was the clear winner of the 12 entrants, sending her to the 29th Eurovision Song Contest, held in Luxembourg City on 5 May. In Luxembourg however, "Einfach weg" (with Gary Lux among the backing vocalists) met an ignominious fate, finishing in last place of the 19 entries garnering only 5 points, well below the 26 points of the next-lowest ranked song from Yugoslavia.

Nevertheless, "Einfach weg" proved to be a domestic hit in Austria, topping the chart for two weeks.

Later career

Anita released further singles but could not repeat the success of "Einfach weg" in the home market. In 1991, she again took part in the Austrian Eurovision selection, but "Land in Sicht" ("Land In Sight") could only finish seventh of the 10 songs.
