Ussuri River
The Ussuri River near Gornye Klyuchi
The Ussuri River, or Wusuli River, runs in Khabarovsk and Primorsky Krais, Russia and in the southeast of Northeast China. It rises in the Sikhote-Alin mountain range, flowing north and forming part of the Sino-Russian border which is based on the Sino-Russian Convention of Peking of 1860, until it joins the Amur River as a tributary to it at Khabarovsk (48°26′N 134°59′E / 48.433°N 134.983°E). It is approximately 897 kilometers (557 mi) long. The Ussuri River drains to the Ussuri basin, which covers 193,000 square kilometers (75,000 sq mi). Its waters come from rain (60%), snow (30-35%) and subterranean springs. The average discharge is 1,150 m³/s and the average elevation is 1,682 m.
The Ussuri River is known for its catastrophic floods. It freezes up in November and stays under the ice until April. The river teems with different kinds of fish: grayling, sturgeon, humpback salmon (gorbusha), chum salmon (keta) and others.
During World War II, the river was one of the regions where Soviet forces crossed into Manchuria in Operation August Storm in 1945.
The Sino-Soviet border conflict of 1969 took place at the Soviet island of Damansky on the Usuri River.

Lettris
Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
boggle
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !
