Short-finned eel - pale, often silvery, and the fins greenish. When full grown, they reach about 90cm. They are common throughout the lowlands of New Zealand, including both Chatham and Stewart Island, but tend not to ascend as far inland as longfin eels. In Australia, they are restricted to the area on the seaward side of the Great Dividing Range, from about Mt Gambier in western South Australia to the Richmond River in northern New South Wales. Unable to scale the Great Divide, and not extending as far west as the outlet of the Murray River, they are excluded from the thousands of miles of waterways that drain inland eastern Australia. Like the other anguillids, Short-finned eels are catadromous: when they reach maturity, they stop feeding and migrate downstream to the sea, then anything.

Having only 150 miles on board to span the whole distance of 140 miles, he grappled the lost cable near the shore, raised it, and 'under-run' or passed it over the ship, for some twenty miles, then cut it, leaving the seaward end on the bottom. He then spliced the ship's cable to the shoreward end and resumed paying-out; but after seventy miles in all were laid, another rapid rush of cable took place, and Brett was obliged to cut and abandon the line.

Four Quartets - perceives him as a powerless witness of unreal things. Then he meditates on the meaning of eternity, using a figure of which Eliot is very fond, "the still point of the turning world" (the center of a turning wheel is not turning) is really the source of movement: [...]Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance But human beings, still submerged in time and movement, are not able to perceive it, because Time past and time future Allow but a little consciousness and consciousness is required to catch the glimpses of eternity. The third stanza is a first clear statement on what the poet sees as the way to redeem time and to give a value to our actions in time: to free oneself from worldly attachments,.
François Guizot - France, this law marked a distinct epoch in French history. In fifteen years, under its influence, the number of primary schools rose from ten to twenty-three thousand; normal schools for teachers, and a general system of inspection, were introduced; and boards of education, under mixed lay and clerical authority, were created. The secondary class of schools and the university of France were equally the subject of his enlightened protection and care, and a prodigious impulse was given to philosophical study and historical research. The branch of the Institute of France known as the "Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques," which had been suppressed by Napoleon, was revived by Guizot. Some of the old members of this learned body--Talleyrand, Sieyès, Roederer and Lakanal--again took their seats there, and a host of more.

USS Wasp (CV-18) - to obtain some knowledge of Spruance's ships, but American scout planes were unable to find Ozawa's force. Early the following morning, 19 June, aircraft from Mitscher's carriers headed for Guam to neutralize that island for the coming battle and in a series of dogfights, destroyed many Japanese land-based planes. During the morning, carriers from Ozawa's fleet launched four massive raids against their American counterparts, but all were thwarted almost completely. Nearly all of the Japanese warplanes were shot down while failing to sink a single American ship. They did manage to score a single bomb hit on South Dakota (BB-57), but that solitary success did not even put the battleship out of action. That day, Mitscher's planes did not find the Japanese ships, but American submarines succeeded in sending two enemy.
