Orion (mythology) - Boeotian poet Hesiod described as farmers in the winter and sailors in the summer season. Were the Boeotians such sailors but not swimmers, that they disputed whether Orion waded the Aegean from island to island or merely strode through the waves? Though some say he is sprung directly from Gaia, the Earth Mother, others make his father Gaia's son Atlas, who equally has his great feet planted in the sea. Others select Poseidon for his father, and for mother the beautiful and awful Gorgon Euryale, the "wide-ranging" one, she of the "wide threshing floor," herself a daughter of Gaia. Such a mother would link Orion to the grain cult, like that other Titan Ephialtes, "son of the threshing floor," who made a name for himself, together with his "stupid" brother Otos,.

Short-finned eel - 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 up to three or four thousand kilometres to a spawning ground in deep water somewhere in the Coral Sea off New Caledonia. (For a comparison with northern hemisphere eels, in particular the European eel, see eel story.) The larvae drift.

Jumpstart 3rd-6th Grade - There are five environments in the Bioshere; a desert, a rain forest, a savana, a mountain range and an ocean. To protect the Biosphere from outside contamation, he invented a remote-controlled way of working inside it; tiny little rockets called Explores that can be remotely flown in the Biosphere. However, there is a cavernous maze of airlocks that must be traveled through first. Naturally, Polly has hidden Invention Points/a Mission Clue in here. The user must fly an Explore into the Biosphere. Flying the Explore reciures "arcade-styled" manovering. If an Explore crashes into the wall too many times, it will explode, and the student will have to start with a new Explore. There are an unlimited number of Explores.

History of Lithuania - later murdered by his nephew, subsequently resulting in great unrest and a relapse into paganism. In 1316, Gediminas, with the aid of colonists from Germany, began the restoration of the land. Many cities were founded with the German system of laws (Magdeburg Rights). The largest of these cities was Vilnius, which later became the capital city. The brothers Vytenis and Gediminas united the components into one Lithuania. Gediminas extended Lithuania to the east by challenging the Tatars, who controlled Russia. Through alliances and conquest the Lithuanians gained control of Rus territory. This area included most of modern Belorus and the Ukraine. These gains created a massive Lithuanian empire that stretched from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. When Gediminas was slain, his son Algirdas or Olgierd suppressed the monasteries. Algirdas's.
