The Golden Fleece and the Heroes Who Lived Before Achilles

***The Golden Fleece and the Heroes Who Lived Before Achilles*** is a children's book. It was written by Padraic Colum. Willy Pogany drew the pictures. This book uses English words to tell a lot of stories that were told in the Greek language before. The stories are very old. This book was published in 1921. In 1922, it was made a Newbery Medal Honor Book.
## Story
This book tells about a young man named Jason who went on an adventure far away from home. He was looking for the Golden Fleece. He took fifty friends with him. His friends were the strongest and bravest people in the world. They were called the Argonauts, because they sailed in a ship called Argo. One of his friends, Orpheus, was the best singer and music maker in the world. In this book, while Jason and his friends look for the Golden Fleece, Orpheus tells them a lot of other stories about places they go and people they meet. Of all the stories in the book, the ones that are not the main story about Jason go in this order:
* Jason's mother tells Jason and his fifty friends the story of the Golden Fleece.
* Orpheus tells the Argonauts how the world began.
* The Argonauts land on an island where only women live. Orpheus tells the women the story of the goddess Demeter and how she lost her daughter Persephone. This story explains why winter happens.
* Atalanta, who is one of the Argonauts, tells a story about how another girl named Atalanta was tricked into losing a race.
* Castor and Pollux tell the story of Pandora, Epimetheus, and Pandora's box. This story explains why bad things happen.
* The Argonauts pass the mountain where Prometheus is chained up. Orpheus tells how Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to human beings. This story teaches people not to want things they should not have.
* Orpheus tells the story of how Perseus killed Medusa. Medusa was a kind of monster called a Gorgon. Her hair was made of snakes. She looked so scary that anyone who looked at her was turned into stone.

After Jason gets the Golden Fleece, he hears that if he goes home right away his wicked uncle will kill him. So he and his fifty friends go and have other adventures instead. These are those adventures:
* They hunt the Calydonian boar, and Atalanta falls in love, but the man she loves is killed before they can get married.
* One of the Argonauts, Peleus, marries a sea nymph. He has a son, Achilles.
* Theseus, who is another one of the Argonauts, kills a monster called the Minotaur.
* Hercules is also one of the Argonauts. He does his well-known labors, which are hard jobs. Hercules also hears a funny story about frogs and mice fighting a big battle.
* Orpheus gets married, but his wife dies. Orpheus goes down to the place where dead people stay. He tries to bring his wife back. He does not get her back.

Finally it is safe for Jason to go back home. He goes home and lives happily ever after, and teaches younger people to have adventures.

Missing in action

for the Prisoners and Missing in Wars]]
**Missing in action** (**MIA**) refers to a soldier who is reported to have gone  during active service. The soldier may have been killed, injured, captured or deserted. It is not known what happened to them. If they are dead, neither their body nor grave can be found or identified. Going missing in action has been a risk for people in armed forces for as long as there has been war.

## World War II 
According to the US Dept of Defense as of December 30, 2021:
* MIAS-North America: 2,359
* MIAS-South America:   646
* MIAS-Europe:       20,908
* MIAS-Middle East:      16
* MIAS-Africa:          984
* MIAS-Asia/Pacific: 47,063
* Total of MIA US Servicemen/civilians: 72,350 

According to official US Department of Army and Department of Navy casualty records, submitted to Congress in 1946 and updated in 1953, the combined possible total of missing service personnel worldwide is closer to approximately 6600 and probably considerably fewer. Since DPAA alone designates such WWII personnel as the crew of the USS Arizona and most of that of USS Oklahoma as both "missing" and "unaccounted-for" it is possible that DPAA records keeping may be somewhat idiosyncratic.

## Korean War 
According to the US Dept of Defense as of December 30,2021: Total of MIA US Servicemen: 7,550 

## Vietnam War 
According to the US Dept of Defense as of December 30,2021: Total of MIA US Servicemen/Civilians: 1,584

## Cold War 
According to the US Dept of Defense as of December 30, 2021:
*MIAS-Asia/Pacifc             108
*MIAS-europe                    8
* MIAS-Gulf Wars/Middle East:   5
* MIAS-El Dorado Canyon/Africa: 1
Total of MIA Servicemen:      126

Haemolymph

**Haemolymph** (hemolymph) is a blood-like fluid in the circulatory system of insects and other Arthropods (spiders and crustaceans). Molluscs also have a similar circulatory system.

Insects and their relatives use a molecule called haemocyanin, which does the same job as haemoglobin does in vertebrates. Haemocyanin has a greenish colour, not red. The insect circulatory system has no veins or arteries. Their haemolymph moves around in the space called the **haemocoel**. The organs sit in the haemocoel and are bathed in the haemolymph. The 'heart' is little more than a single tube which pulses (squeezes).

In 1790, he began the first of several huge projects: a 36-volume work on *English Botany* which was published over the next 24 years. It contained 2592 hand-colored engravings and became known as "Sowerby's Botany". 

A huge number of plants got their first formal publication here. The text, unattributed, was written by James Edward Smith. Sowerby set out to supplement *English Botany* with his own text and descriptions of *Coloured figures of English fungi or mushrooms*, 4 vols. 

*A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland* was written by James Edward Smith and illustrated by James Sowerby. It was the first monograph on the flora of Australia. It was intended to meet "the general interest in, and propagation of, the flowering species of the new antipodean colonies". Sowerby's own hand coloured engravings, based upon original sketches and specimens brought to England, were both descriptive and striking.

Sowerby's detailed and appealing plates in vivid colour and readable texts were intended to reach a growing readership interested in natural history.

He was unsuccessful in his first home when plans for him to be friends with an older female dog did not go well. The Obamas pledged a donation to the DC Humane Society in a show of support for shelter dogs.

Some animal welfare supporters criticized The White House for not adopting a shelter dog.

## Death
Bo died of cancer on May 8, 2021 at the Obama residence in Washington, D.C., at the age of 12.

According to her youngest brother Steve Shields, Robinson was the fourth of seven children—five girls, followed by two boys. Her father was a house painter and her mother was a licensed practical nurse.

Robinson married Fraser Robinson on October 27, 1960. She is now a widow. In addition to their daughter Michelle, they also had a son, Craig. Craig is the current coach of the Oregon State University men's basketball team. Robinson was formerly a secretary for mail-order retailer Spiegel and at a bank. While Michelle and Barack Obama campaigned in 2008, Robinson cared for her granddaughters. Early in January 2009, it was reported that Robinson would move into the White House with the rest of the First Family (the president's family), so that she could continue to care for her granddaughters. She was the first grandmother to live in the White House since Elivera M. Doud during the Eisenhower administration.  Some news agencies have called Robinson the "First Granny."

Robinson died on May 31, 2024 in Chicago, aged 86.

Sowerby family

The **Sowerby family** was a British family of four generations of naturalists, illustrators, botanists, and zoologists.

**Charles Edward Sowerby (1795–1842)
***John Edward Sowerby (1825–1870) 

Most of their work was on molluscs and their systematics. Together, they introduced many taxonomic names (sometimes the number 5000 is mentioned). 

All three of the G.B Sowerbys published extensively on the subject of conchology, which is the collection and study of shells. Even for professional taxonomists it is difficult to know which of the three "G.B. Sowerbys" is meant in a particular citation. The numbering system G.B. Sowerby I, II, or III helps. "Sowerby, 1870" can refer to either G.B. Sowerby II or G.B. Sowerby III.
