Sharon Jordan

Sharon Jordan (born March 11, 1960) is an American actress. One of her notable roles is Irene the Concierge in the Disney Channel sitcom The Suite Life of Zack & Cody . Jordan also appeared as Irene in That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana, the first Disney crossover special with the three shows, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Hannah Montana, and That's So Raven. In addition, Jordan has co-starred on several independent films including Day in the Life of Doe, Rift, I.D., Dead End Falls, Blind, and Some Sunny Day.

Jordan's recurring guest star roles on the Disney Channel are significant, and previous actors in her position have consequently been offered a bevy of big screen offers. Better known on the stage than the screen, her range as an actress has been displayed by a large array of roles, which include murderous characters in Agatha Christie plays and romantic leads in Greek comedies.

For several years, Jordan performed onstage in Welcome Home, Soldier, one of the longest-running plays in Los Angeles, California. It is a production of the Playhouse West Repertory Theater group and was written by Tony Savant and directed by Robert Carnegie. Other notable actors who have performed in this production include James Franco, Ashley Judd, Mark Pellegrino, Jim Parrack, and Holly Gagnier, to name just a few of the actors who have been cast in this ongoing play. The acting school Playhouse West was founded by Jeff Goldblum and Robert Carnegie in 1981.

Jordan River

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.

Jordan (Bishop of Poland)

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.
