    Ich Troje

    Ich Troje ("The Three of Them") is a Polish pop band. Former members are Magdalena Pokora (aka Magda Femme, 1996–2000), Justyna Majkowska (2000–2003), Elli Mücke (2003) and Ania Wisniewska (2003–2010).

    Ich Troje was founded in 1996 by songwriter Michał Wiśniewski and composer Jacek Łągwa.

    Despite this, the group had five members when taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, with German rapper O-Jay (Olaf Jeglitza) as the fifth member.

    Their music is castigated by critics, and Michal Wisniewski has said himself that he can't actually sing.

    Nevertheless, since 2000, Ich Troje has been one of the most successful Polish groups. They have sold more than 1.5 million records since June 2001. For the past two years, Ich Troje have given over 300 concerts. Their songs are typically about love, betrayal and break-ups.

    On 25 January 2003, Polish TV viewers chose Ich Troje to represent them in 2003 Eurovision Song Contest by televoting. They performed a song called Keine Grenzen-Żadnych granic, which was sung in three languages: (Polish, German, and Russian). The song finished seventh. A fully German version of the song was recorded as well.

    Mega (Ukrainian television channel)

    Mega (Russian: Мега), previously known as Megasport, is a television channel in Ukraine, a member of the "Inter" TV-Family. Until 2010, it was known as "Megasport" and positioned itself as a sport channel.

  • Omega (Cyrillic)

    Omega (Ѡ ѡ or Ѡ ѡ; italics: Ѡ w or Ѡ ѡ) is a letter used in the early Cyrillic alphabet. Its name and form are derived from the Greek letter Omega (Ω ω).

    Unlike Greek, the Slavic languages had only a single /o/ sound, so Omega was little used compared to the letter On о), descended from the Greek letter Omicron. In the older ustav writing Omega was used mainly for its numeric value of 800, and rarely appeared even in Greek words. In later semi-ustav manuscripts it was used for decorative purposes, along with the broad version ( ) as well as the Broad On (Ѻ ѻ).

    Modern Church Slavonic has developed strict rules for the use of these letterforms.

    Another variation of o is the ornate or beautiful omega, used as an interjection, “O!”. It is represented in Unicode 5.1 by the misnamed character omega with titlo (Ѽ ѽ).
