Mene
The moonfish of the genus ''Mene'', the sole extant genus of the family Menidae, are disk-shaped fish which bear a vague resemblance to gourami, thanks to their thread-like pelvic fins. Today, the genus is represented only by ''Mene maculata'' of the Indo-Pacific, where it is a popular food fish, especially in the Philippines, where it is known as ''bilong-bilong'', ''chabita'', ''hiwas'' or ''tahas''.Small-scale fisheries of San Miguel Bay, Philippines: options for management and research. . As a genus, ''Mene'' has a long fossil history, with species found in marine sediments throughout the Cenozoic Era. The earliest accepted species, '' M. purdyi'' from the Paleocene of Peru, resemble later species, such as '' M. rhombea'' of the Monte Bolca lagerstätte, and even the living species, ''M. maculata''. Experts remain undecided whether the Tunisian species, '' M. phosphatica'' is from the Lower Paleocene, thus making it older than ''M. purdyi'', or whether it is from the Ypresi ...

Selene
In ancient Greek mythology and religion, Selene (; grc-gre, Σελήνη , meaning "Moon"''A Greek–English Lexicon's.v. σελήνη) is the goddess and the personification of the Moon. Also known as Mene, she is traditionally the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, and sister of the sun god Helios and the dawn goddess Eos. She drives her moon chariot across the heavens. Several lovers are attributed to her in various myths, including Zeus, Pan, and the mortal Endymion. In post-classical times, Selene was often identified with Artemis, much as her brother, Helios, was identified with Apollo. Selene and Artemis were also associated with Hecate and all three were regarded as moon and lunar goddesses, but only Selene was regarded as the personification of the Moon itself. Her Roman equivalent is Luna. Names and etymology The name "Selene" is derived from the Greek noun ''selas'' ('), meaning "light, brightness, gleam". In the Doric and Aeolic dialects, her nam ...

Mene (goddess)
Mene ( grc, Μήνη, Mḗnē, "moon, month", ), in ancient Greek religion and Greek mythology, is an epithet of Selene, the Greek lunar goddess as a goddess presiding over the months. Etymology The Greek word (''mēnē'') means both the Moon and the lunar month. It represents the feminine form of the older masculine noun (''mēn''), which in turn derives from the oblique stem of the Indo-European word ''*meh1nōt'' ("moon; month").' The name of the Phrygian moon-god Men derives from the same word''.'' Further cognates include "Moon" and "Máni." William Smith writes of Mene as "a goddess presiding over the months".Smith, s.v"Mene"/ref> Apostolos Athanassakis and Benjamin Wolkow speculate that Selene's name, which is derived from the word (''selas,'' "light") and thus means "luminous one", might have originally developed as a euphemism, before becoming the Moon and its goddess's proper name.

The mina (also mĕnē, Aramaic; ) is an ancient Near Eastern unit of weight, which was divided into 60 shekels. The mina, like the shekel, was also a unit of currency. History The word mina comes from the ancient Semitic root / 'to count', Akkadian , he, מָנָה (), arc, מָנָה, script=Hebr/ (/), syc, ܡܢܳܐ (), uga, 𐎎𐎐, mn. It is mentioned in the Bible, where Solomon is reported to have made 300 shields, each with 3 "mina" of gold ( he, מָנֶה, mane, links=no), or later after the Edict of Cyrus II of Persia the people are reported to have donated 5000 mina of silver for the reconstruction of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem.

By the time of Ur-Nammu (shortly before 2000 BCE), the mina had a value of talent as well as 60 shekels. The weight of this mina is calculated at .

Belshazzar's Feast
Belshazzar's feast, or the story of the writing on the wall (chapter 5 in the Book of Daniel), tells how Belshazzar holds a great feast and drinks from the vessels that had been looted in the destruction of the Solomon's Temple, First Temple. A hand appears and writes on the wall. The terrified Belshazzar calls for his wise men, but they are unable to read the writing. The queen advises him to send for Daniel (biblical figure), Daniel, renowned for his wisdom. Daniel reminds Belshazzar that his father Nebuchadnezzar, when he became arrogant, was thrown down until he learned that God has sovereignty over the kingdom of men (see Daniel 4). Belshazzar had likewise blasphemed God, and so God sent this hand. Daniel then reads the message and interprets it: God has numbered Belshazzar's days, he has been weighed and found wanting, and his kingdom will be given to the Medes and the Persian people, Persians. The message of Daniel 5 is the contrast it offers between Nebuchadnezzar and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mena (other)
MENA, an acronym in the English language, refers to a grouping of countries situated in and around the Middle East and North Africa. It is also known as WANA, SWANA, or NAWA, which alternatively refers to the Middle East as Western Asia (or as "Southwestern Asia" in the case of "SWANA") and is a way to refer to the geography instead of the political term. As a regional identifier, ''MENA'' is often used in academia, military planning, disaster relief, media planning (as a broadcast region), and business writing. Moreover, the region shares a number of cultural, economic, and environmental similarities across its comprising countries; for example, some of the most extreme impacts of climate change will be felt in MENA. Some terms have a wider definition than MENA, such as MENASA, MENAP or Greater Middle East, which extends to South Asia to include the countries of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
