Hyperion (Titan)
In Greek mythology, Hyperion (; , 'he who goes before') was one of the twelve Titan children of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Sky). With his sister, the Titaness Theia, Hyperion fathered Helios (Sun), Selene (Moon) and Eos (Dawn). Hyperion was, along with his son Helios, a personification of the sun, with the two sometimes identified. John Keats's abandoned epic poem ''Hyperion'' is among the literary works that feature the figure. Etymology "Hyperion" means "he that walks on high" or simply "the god above", often joined with "Helios". There is a possible attestation of his name in Linear B (Mycenaean Greek) in the lacunose form '']pe-rjo- ' (Linear B: Knossos.html" ;"title=", found on the Knossos">KN E 842 tablet (reconstructed ''[upe-rjo-[ne]'') though it has been suggested that the name actually reads "Apollo" (''[a]-pe-rjo-[ne]'').

Hyperion (Marilyn Crispell, Peter Brötzmann And Hamid Drake Album)
''Hyperion'' is an album by American jazz pianist Marilyn Crispell, German multi-reedist Peter Brötzmann and drummer Hamid Drake, which was recorded live in 1992 during the Toronto Jazz Festival and released on the Music & Arts label. The trio had only played once before, a night earlier on Vancouver.Original Liner Notes by John Corbett Reception In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "The music often proceeds at a deliberate pace and sometimes utilizes a dramatic use of space, but the playing is consistently intense (particularly Brötzmann's screaming horns) before ending rather inconclusively." ''The Penguin Guide to Jazz'' compares the album with '' Cascades'' and says that "The trio with Peter Brötzmann and Hamid Drake is, predictably, more intense and frenetic, though the saxophonist does also have his delicately lyrical side, and he defers at moments during 'Hyperion I' to Crispell's desire to take the music down a more expressive path."

Redondo Beach Via Playa Del Rey Line
The Redondo Beach via Playa del Rey was an interurban railway route of the Pacific Electric. It operated between the Hill Street Terminal and Cliffton, south of Redondo Beach, through the company's Western Division. The route ran along the coastline of the Santa Monica Bay uninterrupted from Playa Del Rey to the northern edge of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Despite the obvious desirability of the route, which connected all of the beachfront communities to one another and to the urban core, it was mostly never replaced with alternative types of transit. Portions of local bus routes run by various local agencies, including Culver CityBus and Beach Cities Transit serve some parts of the former route, but no regular, continuous service exists down the length of the South Bay coastline. The former route is, however, mostly traversable by bike since some of the portion along Culver Boulevard has been converted into a bike trail, and the Marvin Braude Bike Trail roughly parallels t ...
