- The girl who put a sparkle in Emperor
Diamonds are not only a girl's best friend for Cindy Yeung Lork-sze. They have helped sustain her family company for three generations and through six decades. The managing director of Emperor Watch and Jewellery grew up surrounded by bracelets, earrings, gold and jade jewellery, but surprisingly, she paid them little attention until she was in her early 20s.

- The unaffordable Eurovision song contest | Jonathan Moles
The annual festival of camp is being hit by the financial crisis – which means some countries need to rein in their spendingIt's all Denmark's fault really. For years, the Eurovision song contest had been an annual test of new television and satellite technology dressed up as a music competition. Then, in 2000, Denmark held the annual camp-fest in a stadium with 39,000 people in attendance. Ever since, it's been a contest to get bigger and better every year. With three three-hour shows over a week, 39 entrants and untold numbers of journalists from across the world in attendance, this is a logistical nightmare. And it's surprisingly expensive. NRK, Norway's main broadcaster, is spending 211m kroner (£23m) on hosting it.Some of this enormous sum can be recouped (sponsorship, broadcast fees, ticket sales) but basically it's the cost of showing off to the rest of Europe for a week. It seems, however, that the financial crisis means that showing off is a luxury that many European countries can no longer afford. Montenegro and Andorra both pulled out due to the cost, as did Hungary, apparently at the behest of the IMF. Lithuania wavered before a private company came to the rescue and paid their participation cost.It's not just the cost of taking part. Very few countries actually seem to want to win and spend money they just don't have. Last year the BBC held a huge selection process with a song by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Our entrant, Jade, was sent on a massive tour of Europe to bolster our chances. This year our entry, Josh, was selected in a 90-minute show on a Friday night when no one was watching. His promotional activity seems to have consisted of the Dutch version of This Morning. Things are no better elsewhere.

- Eurovision 2010: full list of winners, 2010 participants and UK performance since 1956
It's the Eurovision final this Saturday. Pick your favourites from the list of participants• Get the dataThe final of the Eurovision Song Contest takes place in Oslo on Saturday night. Josh Dubovie will be representing the United Kingdom with his song That Sounds Good To Me, penned by popmeisters Mike Stock, Pete Waterman and Steve Crosby. Can he better the credible fifth place of last year's UK entrant Jade Ewen (ably supported by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber)?Josh's entry aside, the participants are a mixed bag of heartfelt ballads and campy Europop, which is what we love about Eurovision after all. A competition for statisticians and mathematicians, run by Kaggle, puts Azerbaijan's Safura, singing Drip Drop, in first place, followed by Germany (Satellite, sung by Lena) and Armenia (Apricot Stone, sung by Eva Rivas). Azerbaijan and Armenia will of course need to make it through the semi-final tonight to be sure of performing on Saturday.Check out the table below for this year's contestants (including at semi-final level - some of these have already been voted out of the competition), and download the spreadsheet to see the UK's finishing position in all Eurovisions since it started in 1956 - and the full list of all winners ever, with ISO country codes.Download the data• DATA: Eurovision 2010World government data• Search the world's government with our gatewayCan you do something with this data?Flickr Please post your visualisations and mash-ups on our Flickr group or mail us at datastore@guardian.co.uk• Get the A-Z of data• More at the Datastore directory• Follow us on TwitterData summary EurovisionPop and rockKaty Stoddardguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
