The Jordan River (in traditional English River Jordan) (Hebrew: נְהַר הַיַּרְדֵּן nehar hayarden; Arabic: نَهْر الْأُرْدُنّ nahr al-urdun) is a 251-kilometre (156 mi)-long river in West Asia flowing to the Dead Sea. Israel and the West Bank border the river to the west, while the Golan Heights and Jordan lie to its east. Both Jordan and the West Bank take their names from the river.
The river has a major significance in Judaism and Christianity and, to a more moderate degree, Islam, as the site where the Israelites crossed into the Promised Land and where Jesus of Nazareth was baptised by John the Baptist.
The streams coming together to create the River Jordan in its upper basin are, west to east:
Jordan is a village in the town of Waterford, Connecticut, and the historic center of the town. It was named from the Jordan River. The village was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Jordan Village Historic District in 1990. The district includes 58 contributing buildings and one other contributing site over an area of 57 acres (23 ha). It includes examples of Greek Revival and Queen Anne architectural styles.
Jordan Village is located on land known historically as Jordan Plain, a flat land area at the head of Jordan Cove, an estuary off Long Island Sound. The historic district surrounds the intersection of Rope Ferry Road and North Road.
Jordan (died in 982 or 984) was the first Bishop of Poland from 968 with his seat, most probably, in Poznań. He was an Italian or German.
Most evidence shows that he was missionary bishop subordinate directly to the Pope. He arrived in Poland, probably from Italy or the Rhineland, in 966 with Doubravka of Bohemia to baptise Mieszko I of Poland. After the death of Jordan until 992 the throne of the Bishop of Poland was vacant, or there was a bishop of unknown name (the first theory is more probable). His successor, from 992, was Unger.

7000 antipersonnel mines that litter Israel's border with Jordan are set to be removed as Israeli authorities begin to clear the region. The government is clearing the mines in an effort to overcome what it calls a 'ticking bomb' due to the potential danger to the farmers, residents and hikers. According to local farmers, the clearance will help make them feel safer. The local community cannot accept any new residents until the mines are cleared from around the area. Private firms from within Israel will complete the pilot project using a giant armoured tractor called the 'Mine Wolf' to clean about 59 acres of land. The mines are detonated by a large plough on the front of the tractor. The project is being run in co-operation with Israel's Defence Ministry.

More than 2,600 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli landmines in the past 40 years. This is no surprise considering that more than a million mines remain active. They are scattered along Israel's borders with Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt. Israel has always refused to remove them, but now an 11-year-old Israeli boy is campaigning to have them cleared. Al Jazeera's Nisreen El-Shamayleh reports. [July 4, 2010]
