Gurabesi was a legendary Papuan leader from Biak in West New Guinea, present-day Indonesia, who had a large role in tying part of the Papuans to the Islamic Sultanate of Tidore. He is commonly believed to have flourished in the 15th or early 16th century, although other sources point at a later date. His story symbolizes the beginnings of communication between the Malayo-Islamic and Papuan cultures. War leader from Biak Gurabesi is a Tidorese name meaning 'iron spark'; according to local tradition his Biak name was Sekfamneri. Legend says that he was a prominent fighter, mambri, who had an outstanding role in the fighting between the Biak and the Sawai, who inhabited south-eastern Halmahera and tried to establish themselves in the islands later known as Raja Ampat. Through his cunning strategems he helped the Biak warriors to repeated victory. A Sawai fortification in Patani was overcome through poisoning the watchdogs at night and thus enabling a surprise attack. The center of his activities as a sea raider was Wawiai in Waigeo, one of the Raja Ampat Islands. During his travels overseas he came to hear about the four kingdoms of Maluku, Kororo (Tidore), Karnaki (Ternate), Jailolo, and Bacan, and decided to make contact with these rulers. Bonding the Tidore ruler At a time, Gurabesi set out with a large war canoe with 30 rowers, and reached Tidore after an adventurous journey where his supernatural power ensured that the men obtained good water and catches of fish. At the moment when the vessel arrived, Tidore was acutely threatened by a large armada from Jailolo (Halmahera). Gurabesi at once offered his service to the Sultan of Tidore, Al-Mansur (d. 1526), addressing him with "Jou, Jou" (Lord, Lord). The sultan promised to fulfil any wish from Gurabesi if he could help him repelling the invasion. Gurabesi then carved an arrowhead from a piece of sacred wood and led the Tidorese ships against the enemy. As he shot against the Jailolo fleet, the magic arrow pierced all the enemies. As a reward for the victory, Gurabesi received Al-Mansur's daughter Boki Taebah for his wife. An alternative version says that Al-Mansur asked the Sangaji (sub-ruler) of Patani, Sahmardan, to find a man who was capable enough to assist him in a war against Ternate. Though neighbouring islands, Tidore and Ternate lived in a constant state of conflict. Sahmardan promised to look for such a person and travelled the islands, finally meeting the local leader (with a European-derived title, Kapita) of Waigeo, Gurabesi, who accepted to assist in the war. Then followed his successful intervention in Maluku, and marriage with Boki Taebah, whom he brought back to Waigeo. Establishment of Tidore in Papua At a later time, Al-Mansur began to wonder what had happened to his child. He also wished to expand his tiny kingdom. For these reasons he undertook an expedition to the east. He met with Gurabesi at Waigeo and then went to the mainland of New Guinea with him and Sahmardan of Patani. Along his journey, he selected suitable persons to become subrulers with titles such as sangaji and gimalaha. After this successful display of peaceful subjugation, he returned via Waigeo. There, he appointed the four sons of Gurabesi and Boki Taebah, thus his grandsons, as rulers of Waigeo, Salawati, Waigama, and Misool. These became the Raja Ampat ("Four Kings"). There are various versions of this story, one of which says that it was actually the kapita of Buli, Maba, Bicoli and Patani who were made rulers of the four Papuan island kingdoms. Gurabesi in historical sources The name Goerabessi (Gurabesi) is also known from Dutch sources, although these are from a much later time than Al-Mansur of the 16th century. In the mid 17th century, Tidore was at war with the Dutch East India Company (VOC). A report from 1649 relates that a Gourabessi brought 24 ships with sago, a locally important foodstuff, from the Papuan Islands to assist the Tidorese king Saidi. When the convoy was on its way it was attacked by ships from Kau and Dodinga in Jailolo Island (Halmahera) who acted on behalf of the VOC. The enemy managed to kill some of the crew, but the bulk of the convoy could break through and reach Tidore. The Dutch were irritated at their ally Ternate that had not been able to impede the delivery. At least some of this fits with the legend of Gurabesi.

Morris Carlton Troper (November 18, 1892 – November 17, 1962) was a Jewish-American accountant from New York credited for saving hundreds of Jewish refugees during World War II. Life Troper was born on November 18, 1892 in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Abraham Troper and Rose Schaeffer. Troper attended the College of the City of New York, graduating from there with an A.B. in 1914. He then went to New York University, graduating from there with a B.C.S. 1917, an M.C.L. in 1918, and a J.D. in 1925. He taught in New York City public schools from 1914 to 1918, and in 1920 he was an accountancy instructor at the College of the City of New York. In 1919, he became a member of the certified public accountants firm Loeb and Troper. He was admitted to the bar in 1925. In 1936, he was elected director of the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants. He also served as its president until he went abroad in 1938. In 1933, the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York appointed him to the Committee of Grievances for C.P.A. He became the committee's chairman in 1936. Troper was active in Jewish refugee affairs for nearly forty years. In 1920, he travelled to Poland and Hungary on behalf of the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC). He visited the Soviet Union in 1929 and 1936 to study efforts by Soviet Jews to establish autonomous colonies. He first visited Germany on behalf of the JDC in 1933. He was national comptroller of the Allied Jewish Campaign in 1930 and of the United Jewish Appeal from 1934 to 1935, and in 1936 he was executive vice-chairman of the Greater New York Campaign of the JDC. In 1938, he was appointed chairman of the European Executive Council of the JDC and went to Europe to reorganize their European activities. He visited nearly every major European capital while serving in that position, including Berlin during Kristallnacht and Rome the day before Italy entered World War II. He was in Paris, the JDC's European headquarters, until the day before the Nazis entered the city. From there, he made his way through southern France and opened a new JDC headquarters in Lisbon. During his three and a half years as the JDC's European chairman, he supervised the administration of over twenty million dollars expended by the JDC, conferred with Jewish leaders from virtually every community, consolidated and strengthened local communal organizations, and maintained contact with foreign government officials and intergovernmental agencies. He occasionally returned to America to consult with JDC officials and make coast-to-coast tours to campaign for the United Jewish Appeals and tell people his first-hand accounts of what was going on in Europe. He resigned as chairman of the JDC European executive council in April 1942. Shortly before World War II, Troper and Paul Baerwald of the JDC negotiated with the Netherlands, France, Great Britain, and Belgium to accept the 907 passengers who were aboard the MS St. Louis who were refused permission to disembark Cuba. For his service with the St. Louis, he was named an Officer of the French Legion of Honour, the last civilian to receive the decoration before World War II. In the 1976 film Voyage of the Damned about the St. Louis, he was portrayed by Ben Gazzara. In 1942, Troper returned to the United States and entered the United States Army as a colonel in the Office of Fiscal Director and Chief of Finance. In 1948, he became a brigadier general in the Finance Reserve Corps. He received the Legion of Merit for his military service and was cited for contributing to the successful development of the fiscal policy of the Army and War Departments. He also had the State Conspicuous Service Cross. Troper was a national council member of the United HIAS Service, a director of the American ORT Federation, and a member of the American Institute of Accountants, the National Association of Cost Accountants, and the American Institute of the Legion of Honor. He was treasurer of the Central Synagogue. He was also a member of the Accountants Committee of Federation for Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies, and Delta Mu Delta. In 1919, he married Ethel Dorothy Gartner. Their children were Betty Elsie and John Gartner. Troper died in the Beth Abraham Home in the Bronx on November 17, 1962, a day before his seventieth birthday. His funeral took place in the Central Synagouge. He was buried in Mount Lebanon Cemetery.

The People's Palace (, ), formerly Palais d'été ("Summer Palace" of the Governor), is a public building in Algiers. It was first built in the Ottoman era, then became the residence of the Governor of French Algeria, and was the seat of government during the first three years of Independent Algeria (1962-1965). Its current appearance dates of the colonial period. The palace is believed to have been first built between 1798 and 1805. It was the country home of Mustapha Khodja el Kheil, a minister of the Dey. It became an army barracks following the French conquest of Algeria, from 1830 to 1846. It was expanded from 1846, and around 1865 was used as the seat of the governor during the summer season. During the winter season, the governor resided in the also known as Dar Hassan Pacha, on the northern side of Saint-Philip Cathedral (now the Ketchaoua Mosque) in the Casbah of Algiers. Its last significant expansion, designed by architect Gabriel Darbéda, was completed in 1919. Ahmed Ben Bella renamed it and made it the seat of government following the end of the country's war of independence. Following the 1965 Algerian coup d'état, Houari Boumédiène transferred the President's Office to the newly built El Mouradia Palace. The palace has since been used as an official guest house and for various cultural and governmental functions.

The 1871 Affiche Rouge (Red Poster) was a poster hung in January 1871 to popularize the idea of a revolutionary government, or Commune, in Paris, as would later arrive in March with the Paris Commune. Written by Gustave Tridon and Jules Vallès but credited to a group that called itself the Delegation of the Twenty Arrondissements, the poster lambasted governmental indecisiveness and military ineffectiveness, such as lack of fight despite Frenchmen outnumbering the attacking Prussians. The poster was signed by 140 leftist activists. There were no demonstrations alongside the poster, but the government charged its authors with insurrection. References Paris Commune
Boquerón Pride (Spanish: Orgullo Boquerón) is an annual pride parade and street party held during the month of June (usually the week after Pride Puerto Rico in San Juan) in the beach town of Boquerón in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. Along with Pride Puerto Rico (also known as San Juan Pride), this is the largest LGBT pride-related event in Puerto Rico. The festival features a pride parade, street food, live music and drag queen performances, and with up to 40,000 attendees, it is one of the largest pride celebrations in the Caribbean region. Orgullo Boquerón is celebrated in and around the main street of El Poblado de Boquerón, a small fishing village that attracts visitors from all over Puerto Rico due to its seafood, nightlife, beaches, boating opportunities and its proximity to a number of nature reserves. Although there are no exclusively gay clubs or bars in El Poblado, this small village is considered the second most popular gay destination in Puerto Rico for its drag queen events and gay-friendly bars, restaurants and hotels. History Boquerón Pride was founded by Rosalina "Talin" Ramos Padró in 2003. The pride event has been celebrated yearly ever since during Pride Month, usually the weekend after the celebration of Pride Puerto Rico, also known as San Juan Pride, and it draws attendees from all over Puerto Rico. In 2016, after the tragic events at Pulse nightclub in Orlando were many of the victims were Puerto Rican members of the LGBT community, a march and memorial rather than a parade and street party were held instead. Puerto Rican singer and actress Yolandita Monge was the godmother of the event that year. The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was celebrated once again in 2021 during the month of October (during the weekend of National Coming Out Day). Puerto Rican model and Miss Universe 2001 winner Denise Quiñones was proclaimed godmother of the parade that year. According to Pedro Julio Serrano, spokesperson of the event, Boquerón Pride will once again be celebrated in the month of June in 2022.

Tom's Restaurant and Bar, sometimes referred to separately as Tom's Restaurant and Tom's Bar, is a restaurant and bar in Portland, Oregon, United States. Tom and Georgia Belesiu opened the diner in 1975; ownership was later transferred to their daughter Antoinette, who started working for the business as a teenager, and her husband Taki Papailiou. The menu, based on Georgia's recipes, has changed little over the years, and the greasy spoon is known for serving breakfast all day and for having an inexpensive happy hour menu. Description Tom's Restaurant and Bar is located on Division Street at the intersection of Cesar Chavez Boulevard in southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood. Originally a restaurant, the north side was expanded to include a bar, which has been described by Willamette Week as a "divey sports bar known for the thick cloud of smoke wafting off from the picnic tables out front". The newspaper described Tom's as a "Dazed and Confused-era diner, which seems increasingly out of place on this rapidly changing stretch of Division Street", and as "an old school dentist's office waiting room, but with a sassy waitress who doesn't come to a complete stop as she asks "'You want cream?' If you do want cream, she pull seven little creamer cups out of an apron pocket and plops them down on the counter without breaking stride. When she gets back behind the bar, she rejoins the longest conversation about fleas you'll hear all year." Tom's also has a small off-track betting area located between the restaurant and bar areas. The Portland Mercury has described Tom's as a "seriously underrated, East Coast-style" diner and a greasy spoon with "outlandishly cheap" happy hour options. An exterior sign uses "Tom Jones' '70s Vegas" font, according to the newspaper's Brian Yaeger. The restaurant has an interior mural, and the bar has artificial leather booths, pool tables, Skee-Ball, table football, and video poker machines. Breakfast is served all day. Full breakfast options include bacon, ham, or sausage, egg, and French toast or pancakes. The menu also includes a "butterhorn" fritter, chicken fried steak with gravy, hash browns, omelettes, soups, and coffee supplied by Boyd's Coffee. Happy hour options include quesadillas and tater tots. History Tom and Georgia Belesiu opened the restaurant on December 18, 1975, in a space which previously housed an ice cream parlor and later a bakery. Tom built the restaurant in 1974, and many of the entrees are based on Georgia's recipes. In 1988, Steve Duin of The Oregonian said Tom "doesn't bore his patrons with politics". Belesiu said, "I don't want to lose anyone. Both parties are welcome here. I'm a politician. A diplomat." The couple's daughter Antoinette began working at the restaurant from the start, when she was fourteen years old. She and her husband Taki Papailiou, who previously worked as the morning cook, are now co-owners. The family also owns the building and adjacent parking lot. Nick Papailiou is also an owner, as of 2020. Earl Blumenauer visited the restaurant in 1991, during his mayoral campaign. In 2010, Nancy Travis filmed scenes at the restaurant for A Walk in My Shoes. Tom's has a high employee retention; as of 2016, there were 16 employees, including cooks and waitresses who had worked at Tom's for 15 and 30 years, respectively. According to KGW's Morgan Romero, Tom's relies mostly on alcohol sales for revenue. In November 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Romero said Tom's Bar "will rely on takeout from Tom's Restaurant next door to survive. They're calling on their regulars and the community to support them and other local bars and restaurants by ordering take-out." Tom's also sought COVID-19 relief funding via GoFundMe in 2020. Reception In 2014, Willamette Week described the Skee-Ball "situation" as "twin 10-foot lanes, 25 cents, no change machine, scoreboard lights are burnt out and wonky". The newspaper said, "Tom's sports bar, like the neighboring Tom's diner, is a throwback to Old Division that's close enough to New Division to make it a relic. The front sidewalk might as well have a smoke machine on it... Malfunctioning scoreboard lights make the lanes all but useless." The Portland Mercury included Tom's in a 2015 list of "wonderfully trashy" happy hours. The newspaper's Brian Yaeger wrote in a 2017 overview of dive bar brunches, "Other upsides include never having to wait in line, a coffee cup that will never hit empty thanks to attentive waitstaff." In 2016, John Vincent of the Business Tribune said, "In many ways, Tom's is like Portland's own Cheers bar." Michael Russell included Tom's in The Oregonian's 2018 list of 15 "favorite" diners in the Portland metropolitan area.

Tammy Jo Zywicki (March 13, 1971 – August 23 or 24, 1992) was an American Caucasian female murder victim. Her vehicle was a white, 1985 Pontiac T1000 with New Jersey license plates. Zwyicki was born in Pleasant Hill, Pennsylvania (in the area of Lebanon in the county by the same name as the city). Developments of the crime Zywicki had been last seen with her car on the sweltering late August 1992 days in question; she was seen at the mile marker 83 on Interstate 80 in Central Illinois between 3:10 and 4pm August 23. According to witnesses, a tractor-trailer truck was observed right next to the Zywicki Pontiac at these very times. The semi's driver was a Caucasian male between age 35–40 who was either at or just over six feet tall. The semi's driver, according to witnesses, had dark and bushy hair. Earlier on August 23, Zywicki left from Evanston, Illinois (north of Chicago) and was headed for college in/near Grinnell, Iowa; she was headed to the Grinnell University for completing her college senior year. But later that day, Zywicki's 1985 Pontiac was discovered by an Illinois State Trooper and ticketed for abandonment; furthermore, the vehicle was towed by Illinois State Police the following day. Later that Monday evening, Zywicki's mother informed the Illinois State Police, warning them her daughter hadn't arrived at the intended college. Alas, on September 1, 1992, Zywicki was found dead on the Interstate Highway 44 in southwestern Missouri between Springfield and Joplin. Zywicki was stabbed eight times before she died. According to Federal Bureau of Investigation and Illinois State Police, Zywicki may have been also sexually assaulted. When Zywicki's body was found, some of her personal items were gone: A St. Giles Soccer Club patch from Greenville, South Carolina and a time watch. Later years As of 2021–22, Zywicki's murder has not been solved, nor have any prime suspects been arrested in the case. Zywicki might have been living in Marlton, New Jersey not far from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) and the Atlantic City region of New Jersey during earlier years.

Bruno Madrigal is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 60th film, Encanto (2021). Voiced by John Leguizamo, he is Mirabel's ostracized uncle who has the ability to see the future. He is the subject of the song "We Don't Talk About Bruno" (2021). Development Bruno was originally younger, around the same age as Mirabel, and depicted as "kind of a chubbier, funnier uncle who she met earlier in the movie", according to co-director Byron Howard. His original name was Oscar, but the creative team explored other options due to the number of real-life Oscar Madrigals in Colombia. Songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda chose Bruno from a list of potential names, including Arlo, Andre, Anko, Marco, and Emo, because it allowed for the catchy line "Bruno, no, no, no" in Encanto song "We Don't Talk About Bruno". One idea for Bruno's costume was to have him wear a rug he found around the house. The final version of his costume "is meant to be the old ceremonial outfit that he used to wear when he was having visions of the future for the people that came to see him", according to visual development artist Meg Park. Appearances Encanto Bruno is one member of a set of fraternal triplets born to Pedro and Alma Madrigal, and the only male child of the three. With the exception of his 15-year-old niece Mirabel, every member of the family receives a magical gift on his/her fifth birthday; Bruno's gift is the ability to foresee the future. After Mirabel fails to receive a gift, Bruno (then 40 years old) conjures a vision to find out why and sees her standing in front of a broken Casita. Knowing that this vision would put Mirabel at odds with the rest of the family and the residents of the town who rely on the magic for help in their everyday lives, Bruno smashes the slab of glass bearing the vision and goes into hiding, concealing himself within the house's walls so he can still be near the family. Ten years later, when the movie takes place, Mirabel worries that the magic is breaking and questions other family members, discovering that Bruno might know something. In the song "We Don't Talk About Bruno", members of the Madrigal family and the town tell Mirabel about how Bruno foresaw mostly negative events, and they blame him for their misfortunes. Mirabel later finds Bruno in the walls of the house, and he explains that his visions can change, suggesting that she may either destroy the family or remedy its troubles. At Mirabel's urging, he conjures a new vision that shows her what she needs to do in order to save the family. The Casita ultimately collapses and Mirabel flees, but the arrival of both her grandmother Alma and Bruno cheers her. Alma and Bruno reconcile, and Bruno is welcomed back into the family and helps them and the townspeople rebuild the Casita. Reception Viewers have theorized that Bruno might be neurodivergent or have a mental illness. Princess Weekes of The Mary Sue wrote that Bruno represents a common pattern in families, that of "depressed outsiders who love their family, but feel like their presence does more harm than good". Therapist Kadesha Adelakun, who was interviewed by CNN, shared how people identify with Bruno: "We have family members who are also neurodivergent or have mental health issues, and because they're different, they get shunned, or they're not spoken about."

Los Pinos Pass (elevation ) is a mountain pass in Saguache County of south-central Colorado. It is located in the northern San Juan Mountains, a sub-range of the Rocky Mountains, and divides the waters of Cebolla Creek to the west and Los Pinos Creek to the east. Los Pinos Pass is traversed by Forest Road 788. According to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names and as shown on U.S. Geological Survey maps, the spelling of the pass is Los Pinos Pass, however the pronunciation is typically the Spanish Los Piños Pass and some authors use the Spanish spelling. History In 1874, the Hayden Survey found a well established Ute trail traversing Los Pinos Pass. Survey parties used the Ute trail to travel between the Los Pinos Indian Agency southwest over the pass to Cebolla Creek and then upstream to what is now known as Spring Creek Pass on their way to the headwaters of the Rio Grande. By the mid-1870s, mining in the San Juan Mountains resulted in the construction of trails and wagon roads connecting the increasing number of new mining camps and growing towns. In 1874 road builder Otto Mears constructed the Saguache and San Juan Toll Road which ran from the town of Saguache west over Cochetopa Pass to the Los Pinos Indian Agency and then on to the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River and Lake City. Authors have mistakenly described the path of this toll road as traversing Los Pinos Pass, but Mears chose a more direct and less troublesome route from the Los Pinos Indian Agency to the Lake Fork. The toll road crossed the divide between the Los Pinos Creek and Cebolla Creek drainages near Summit Park, approximately north of Los Pinos Pass. This was a more direct route following another Ute trail that avoided the steep western decent from Los Pinos Pass and the narrow canyon of Cebolla Creek below. Lt. Ruffner's expedition followed this trail in 1873, and the Hayden Survey documented this route in 1874, the year the road was built. During this period Los Pinos Pass remained a trail suitable for foot and livestock travel.

The Galleria delle Vittorie (Gallery of the Victory) was built as a commercial mall with an entrance on 301 Via Maqueda in central Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy. The five story structure has deteriorated over the decades, though restoration was attempted. History The gallery was designed by Paolo Bonci and inaugurated in 1935. The title was meant to honor the Italian victory in their conquest of Ethiopia. The space evokes the glass-roofed commercial malls such as the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. However, this mall, built during the fascist era has a simple and sober facade with the name of the gallery in the Semplicità font used in this era. The entrance had Futurist frescoes, now very degraded, by Alfonso Amorelli celebrating the Italian victories in Ethiopia. The entrance pavement has interlinked black depictions of fasces. The glass roof is lost. Note Derived from Italian Wikipedia entry Bibliography Buildings and structures in Palermo Italian fascist architecture
The Gresham-Yang Treaty was a treaty signed between the United States of America and the Qing dynasty in 1894, in which the Qing dynasty consented to measures put in place by the United States prohibiting Chinese immigration in exchange for the readmission of previous Chinese residents, thus agreeing to the enforcement of the Geary Act. This was the first time the United States government barred an entire ethnic group from entering the mainland United States of America. The treaty lasted until 1904, when the Qing dynasty government exercised its right to unilaterally withdraw. Historical Context The California Gold Rush catalyzed a large wave of Chinese immigration to the United States, further intensified by the high demand for workforce caused by the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. However, with the shifting of the labor reality, white hostility to foreign laborers, including Chinese laborers, surged. In response anti-Chinese immigration laws were passed by the government, barring entry to new Chinese immigrants and requiring that fully legal existing Chinese immigrants who wished to later return to the United States obtain a "certificate of return". These laws were delineated in various acts, such as the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Notably, some senators present during the creation of this act manifested their belief in the inferiority of the Chinese people, deeming them unfit to be naturalized, similar to parasites, and possessing revolting social characteristics. This act was further extended by the Geary Act, which included measures such as the requirement for Chinese people to always carry a resident permit, with failure to doing so resulting in deportation or one year of hard labor. These measures stayed in place until the signing of the Magnuson Act in 1943. The Treaty The Qing dynasty signed the Gresham-Yang Treaty so that, in exchange for their consent for the enforcement of the Geary Act and all associated measures, the United States would readmit previous Chinese residents into the country. However, the Qing government held many grievances against the United States related to the various "exclusion laws" passed, and the manner under which they were being enforced. In fact, the Qing government considered this their most important issue with the United States. In 1904, after the United States Congress decided, on April 29, 1902, to extend all laws relating to Chinese immigration and residence indefinitely, and to apply all such laws to the insular territories, including the Philippines, the Qing dynasty government unilaterally withdrew from the Gresham-Yang Treaty. In response, further laws were passed, this time making all Chinese barred both entrance to the United States and eligibility for American citizenship. Repercussions The Gresham-Yang Treaty's outcome, combined with the other exclusion acts, and a large anti-Chinese sentiment in the United States, contributed directly to the 1905 Chinese boycott.

The Reformed and Presbyterian Fellowship of India is a national ecumenical organization, bringing together Presbyterian and Continental Reformed churches in India. It was formed in 2001 and in 2019 it was formed by 14 member denominations. History In 1969, the Reformed Presbyterian Church of India established the Dehradun Presbyterian Theological Seminary, which, unlike other Presbyterian theological institutions in India, rejected Theological liberalism and subscribed to the Westminster Confession of Faith. In the following decades, various Presbyterian and Continental Reformed denominations began to send their pastors for seminary training. This training of pastors of various denominations in the same seminary led to a rapprochement between them and the formation of the Reformed and Presbyterian Fellowship of India in 2001. Members In 2019, Fellowship members were: Reformed Presbyterian Church of India Reformed Presbyterian Church North East India Presbyterian Church in India (Reformed) Presbyterian Reformed Church in India Presbyterian Free Church of Central India Free Presbyterian Church, Kalimpong Presbyterian Church of South India South India Reformed Churches Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Sikkim Evangelical Reformed Church of India Christian Reformed Fellowship of India Reformed Covenant Assembly (India) (mission of United Reformed Churches in North America) Reformed Churches in South Africa Protestant Reformed Church (India) (mission of Protestant Reformed Churches in America).

Lower Stoddard Range is a historic range of buildings in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located in Savannah's Historic District, the addresses of some of the properties are East Bay Street, above Factors Walk, while others solely utilize the former King Cotton warehouses on River Street. As of February 2022, the businesses occupying the ground floor of the River Street elevation are: Boar's Head Grill & Tavern, Savannah's Candy Kitchen, Gallery 209 and Christmas on the River. The building stands adjacent to Archibald Smith Stores, the two separated only by steps leading to and from River Street and Factors Walk. The building was constructed by 1858 by John Stoddard (1809–1879), on foundations that were previously the three lower tiers of the early-19th-century Harden (western portion of the range) and Howard Stores (eastern portion). Harden's property was known colloquially as Coffee House Wharf. Factors Edgar L. Guerard and Edward L. Holcombe (1840–1875), formerly a major for the Confederates in the Civil War, were operating their general commission and shipping merchants enterprise from "5 Stoddard's Lower Range, Bay Street" in 1869. At number 7, meanwhile, Grantham Israel Taggart (1828–1905) was providing a similar service, under the name Taggart & Company, in addition to offering anthracite and bituminous coal. In 1898, during the Spanish-American War, the signal corps had their command headquarters in the range. The buildings that comprise Upper Stoddard Range are at 12–42 East Bay Street, to the west of the lower range.

Jost Kobusch (born August 3, 1992 in Bielefeld) is a German mountaineer and author. Early life Kobusch grew up in Borgholzhausen and, after an early divorce of his parents, was raised by his father, a carpenter. At the age of twelve, he started to participate in climbing courses organized by his school. After his Abitur, he joined the Bundeswehr as a Gebirgsjäger (mountain troops). Since 2016, Kobusch is living in Chemnitz as a student of the Technische Universität Chemnitz. Mountaineering In 2013, Kobusch traveled to Kyrgyzstan. Due to inclement weather he was unable to reach the top of Pik Lenin, however, he succeeded to become the first to ascent a mountain he subsequently named, Pik Yoko (4,048 m). In April 2014, he became the youngest solo climber of Ama Dablam not using supplemental oxygen. Kobusch became famous when he filmed the partial destruction of the Mount Everest base camp by an avalanche on April 25, 2015 that had been triggered by the April 2015 Nepal earthquake. On May 1, 2016, Kobusch reached the top of Annapurna (8,091 m) without oxygen support. In 2017, Kobusch was the first to reach the top of Nangpai Gosum II (7,296 m); he was solo and did not use supplemental oxygen. For this ascent, he was nominated by Piolet d'Or for its annual "Significant Ascents" award. In the winter of 2019/2020 Kobusch attempted his first solo Mount Everest ascent without supplemental oxygen but had to give up at 7,360 m. His second attempt to ascent Mount Everest solo and without supplemental oxygen started in the winter of 2021/2022. Kobusch chose a route over the West Ridge avoiding the Khumbu Icefall. According to Krzysztof Wielicki who did the first winter ascent of Mount Everest using the standard route, his chances of success are 50-50.

Death in the Tunnel is a 1936 detective novel by the British writer Cecil Street, writing under the pen name of Miles Burton. It is the thirteenth in a series of books featuring the amateur detective Desmond Merrion and Inspector Arnold of Scotland Yard. It was published in the United States by Doubleday the same year under the alternative title Dark is the Tunnel. Originally published by Collins Crime Club, it was reissued in 2016 by the British Library Publishing as part of a group of crime novels from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. It is part of a subgenre of novels where murders take place on railway lines including the same author's Tragedy on the Line and Dead on the Track Synopsis Noted city businessman Sir Wilfred Saxonby catches his usual train from Cannon Street for Stourford. As the train enters the long Blackdown Tunnel, the driver catches sight of a red light signalling danger in the tunnel and slows the train, before it stops the light turns to green and the train picks up speed again. It is then the guard discovers that Saxonby is dead, alone in his compartment. When they reach the next stop, the stationmaster deduces that he has been shot by a pistol. Scotland Yard is called in. Arnold at first concurs with the local force that is a case of suicide, but several things intrigue him. Sir Wilfred's behaviour that day had been unusual but not suicidal, his ticket cannot be found anywhere and there were no scheduled railway workers supposed to be the tunnel to stop the train with the light. Calling in Merrion's assistance, they conclude that this was a case of murder. A journey on foot through the long and dark tunnel draws their attention to a ventilation shaft half way down which seems to have played a vital role in the escape of the murderer after the had jumped off the train when it slowed down as well as providing the ghostly light the driver saw. Their hunt for clues takes them in pursuit of a breakdown truck and a duplicate wallet to Sir Wilfred's, a search that leads them as far afield as Plymouth and Manchester until they are at last able to build up a picture of the elaborate scheme planned by the killers.

"Redrum" (stylized as "redruM"; palindrome for "Murder") is a song by Romanian singer and songwriter Sorana and French disc jockey David Guetta, released for digital download and streaming on 20 January 2022 by Atlantic Records. It was written by Jeffrey Bhasker, Mikkel Cox, Thomas Eriksen, Tobias Frederiksen, Guetta, Malik Jones, Mr Hudson, Julia Karlsson, Scott Mescudi, Benjamin McIldowie, Sorana, Anton Rundberg, Rollo Spreckley, Giorgio Tuinfort, Kanye West and Ernest Wilson, while the production was handled by Toby Green, Guetta and Mike Hawkins. A dance-pop track about a love triangle and one's resulting heartbreak from it, "Redrum" interpolates the refrain of West's 2008 song "Heartless". Music critics gave positive reviews of "Redrum" upon its release, praising its catchiness, Sorana's vocal delivery and the production. An accompanying music video was uploaded to Guetta's YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release. Directed by Andra Marta, Alexandru Mureșan and Cristina Poszet, it portrays Sorana being chased by a clone of herself through the hallways of a hotel. Observers likened the visual and the singer's outfit to the 1980 psychological horror film The Shining and fictional superheroine Sailor Moon, respectively. Commercially, "Redrum" peaked at number 26 in Croatia. Background and composition Sorana, a Romanian singer and songwriter, has left her native country to pursue a musical career and relocated to London and then Los Angeles. Her portfolio as a songwriter includes the commercially successful singles "Takeaway" (2019) by the Chainsmokers, Illenium and Lennon Stella, "OMG What's Happening" (2020) by Ava Max, and "Heartbreak Anthem" (2021) by Galantis, David Guetta and Little Mix. Furthermore, Sorana has also collaborated with artists such as Alan Walker on "Lost Control" (2018). "Redrum", her debut single under Atlantic Records, was released for digital download and streaming on 20 January 2022, in collaboration with fellow lead artist Guetta. It was written by Jeffrey Bhasker, Mikkel Cox, Thomas Eriksen, Tobias Frederiksen, Guetta, Malik Jones, Mr Hudson, Julia Karlsson, Scott Mescudi, Benjamin McIldowie, Sorana Păcurar (Sorana), Anton Rundberg, Rollo Spreckley, Giorgio Tuinfort, Kanye West and Ernest Wilson, while the production was handled by Toby Green, Guetta and Mike Hawkins. West personally approved an interpolation of the refrain of his 2008 song "Heartless" in "Redrum", for which he, Jones, Mescudi and Wilson received credits. "Redrum", the song's title, is a palindrome for "Murder" that originates from a scene in the 1980 psychological horror film The Shining. Musically, "Redrum" is a dance-pop track backed by "Guetta's signature driving bass lines and huge synths". Regarding its meaning, Sorana stated: On 4 February 2022, a MistaJam remix of "Redrum" was released. Nicole Pepe of We Rave You thought that it "breathes a new life into the original by adding more hypnotic and spacey synths, and an edgy faster tempo"; she further noticed "a darker underlying tone" and "early 2000's EDM vibes". Robin Schulz also issued a remix on 16 February 2022, with Dancing Astronaut's Rachel Narozniak labelling it as a "beat-driven take on [the] original [that] maintains the easy-listening appeal present [...] but picks up the pace just slightly". Critical reception Upon release, "Redrum" received positive reviews from music critics. While Michael Major of BroadwayWorld called it an "inescapably catchy bop", We Rave You's Ellie Mullins thought that "the heartbreak [in the song's lyrics] is perfectly conveyed through the passion of [Sorana's] stunning vocals. Completing the track and putting the cherry on top, Guetta creates a passionate and intricate soundscape that allows for [her] talents to shine to their fullest ability". Nassim Aziki, writing for Fun Radio, noticed a "powerful chorus" and a "terribly beautiful voice" that resembled that of Sia. Another editor from the same publication highlighted similarities between "Redrum" and "Dangerous" (2014) and "Flames" (2018) from Guetta's catalogue. CelebMix commended the song, writing that it "beautifully showcases Sorana's knack for catchy hooks and artful storytelling as well as [...] Guetta's ability to craft sleek productions. This one's made to be played over and over again and will get stuck in your head for a while". Music video An accompanying music video was uploaded to Guetta's YouTube channel on 20 January 2022. It was directed by Andra Marta, Alexandru Mureșan and Cristina Poszet, while Mureșan was also hired as the director of photography and Nicoleta Darabană as Sorana's double. The clip opens with a fuzzy television screen displaying the song's title. Sorana is seen lying next to it on the floor of a room with pulsating lights and pop art of Guetta; as she nears the television, she is being grabbed into it by her mouth by a clone of herself. Sorana subsequently finds herself in a hallway of a 1980s-styled hotel along with her clone, who wears a white outfit, neon blue braids and long nails, and who carries a knife in her hands that are covered by a pink liquid. The clone proceeds into chasing Sorana through the hallway which displays further portraits of Guetta. Although Sorana runs away and hides, they eventually meet and fight on top of each other. The singer is then portrayed in a bathtub with pink liquid wherein she drowns, before the video ends with a shot of Sorana in the room shown at the beginning; her hands and outfit are covered with the pink liquid. Observers likened the hotel shown during the clip to The Shining and Sorana's appearance to that of the fictional superheroine Sailor Moon. While Major called the video "dark and twisted", Aziki thought the singer's outfit was "very extravagant". Rachel Kupfer, writing for EDM.com, opined that the clone was the "murderous new girlfriend" of Sorana's ex, and further stated that the "cotton candy-colored" visual had "futuristic, alien-like fashion and [...] dramatics [that] are off the charts". An editor of CelebMix spoke highly of the clip, naming it "probably one of the most aesthetically-pleasing music videos we have seen over the last couple of months".

Booker T Washington High School (BTW), originally known as Jonesboro Industrial High School (IHS) was the first high school for African-Americans in Northeast Arkansas. It provided education for African-American children over a wide swath of Northeastern Arkansas, as sundown towns such as Paragould, Arkansas and other surrounding cities and counties contracted with Jonesboro to educate their Black children. History The Colored School Improvement Association successfully lobbied the city Council to donate bricks from a collapsed city-owned auditorium, and raised money for a site for a school to be built. The original lot at the intersection of Bridge and Hope streets was purchased for $2,600. While the bricks were transported to the site and cleaned, several attempts to build the high school were thwarted. After D.W. Hughes signed on as principal of the Cherry Street School that served students through grade 8, he garnered support for building the high school at a new lot at Logan and Patrick Street. Using the bricks from the demolished auditorium, Hughes designed a new building, and IHS finally opened in 1924. In 1933, the Jonesboro School Board divested the school in the middle of the school year, forcing students to pay tuition. Around half of the students dropped out. In 1935 the school was renamed after Black author and educator Booker T. Washington. After World War II, the school initiated sports program and took Eskimoes as their nickname. In 1951 the school was relocated to a site at Houghton St and Matthews Avenue. In 1954 the old building was torn down. In order to offset the cost of education, the school board contracted with surrounding school boards to educate Black students at BTW. These included Bay, Lake City, Paragould, Biggers, Pocahantas, Walnut Ridge, Black Rock, Imboden, Weiner, Trumann, and various others. In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas declared laws maintaining separate public schools for Black and White children to be unconstitutional. Lawyer Wiley Branton challenged the arrangement Jonesboro had with other school districts, threatening to file suit against the Jonesboro School District and all contracting districts unless they provided education for Black children nearer their homes. Jonesboro cancelled all the contracts at the end of the 1957-1958 school year. At this time, the school board adopted a Freedom of Choice plan that allowed children to choose to attend schools regardless of their race. As a result of the changes, BTW's enrollment dropped dramatically. The school board closed the school in 1966. The building was demolished in 2001. The site is now occuppied by the E. Boone Watson Community Center and African American Cultural Center, which preserves black culture in Jonesboro. Notable people Frederick C.

Vera Kingeekuk Metcalf is educator and advocate known for her work in the preservation of traditions and language of Alaska Native people. in 2019 she was elected to the Alaska Women's Hall of Fame. Early life and education Metcalf was born in Sivungaq (Savoonga) on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska. During her schooling on the island she served as a teacher's aide, and translated lessons into Yupik to share with the students in the class. In 1991, Metcalf earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Career While working for the Bering Straits Foundation, Metcalf worked on the repatriation of remains held by the Fairbanks Museum and Smithsonian Institution. Through her work almost 1000 remains were returned to St. Lawrence Island under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. In 2002, Metcalf was named as the head of the Eskimo Walrus Commission, and in that role she works to maintain rights of subsistence hunting of walrus and carving of walrus ivory by members of the Alaskan Native community. She also shares knowledge on how modes of transportation can harm walrus, including airplanes and ship traffic. Metcalf tracks the magnitude of the walrus harvest, which is important as changes in sea ice alters the ability to hunt and results in decreased harvesting of walruses needed for food. In a 2021 interview she described the challenges of harvesting walrus, and noted that she speaks for the community around in her work, and not about herself. Metcalf is also a member of the United States' Arctic Research Commission, having been appointed by President George W. Bush in 2006. In 2015, Metcalf worked with the United States Department of State to establish visa-free travel across the Bering Strait to allow people in the region to more easily visit family members in the region. Metcalf shares her indigenous knowledge of the ocean, and uses public events to emphasize the need for local partners in understanding environmental impacts of climate change. She is a member of the Innuit Circumpolar Council, and is working to increase knowledge on indigenous languages such as the Yupik language she speaks. She is part of a research project funded in 2021 by the United States' National Science Foundation which will examine how changes in sea ice impact marine mammals and subsistence hunting. Selected publications Awards and honors In 2003, the Before Columbus Foundation awarded an American Book Award to Metcalf and co-authors for their book Akuzilleput igaqullghet = Our words put to paper. In 2008, Metcalf received the Sea Award, a Women of Discovery Award. In 2019, Metcalf was elected to the Alaska Women's Hall of Fame based on a nomination from Alice Green.

Ardicio de Rivoltela (died c. 1186) was a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He was a native of Piadena (Platina), in the diocese of Cremona in Lombardy. The appellation "de Rivoltela" is mentioned only once, and its significance is unclear. Life Under Pope Eugenius III (1145–1153), Ardicio is found as a subdeacon of the Holy Roman Church, where he is examining the case between the Bishop of Bologna and the Abbot of Padua over the decima tax, and charges of calumny. Ardicio was named a cardinal by Pope Hadrian IV on 21 December 1156. His earliest signature as a cardinal on a papal document took place on 4 January 1157. He subscribed again, at the Lateran, on 5 April 1157, 13 May 1157, 18 May 1157, 21 May 1157, and 3 June 1157. He subscribed at Anagni on 11 September 1157. In 1158, he subscribed at St. Peter's on 10 January. In 1158, Cardinal Ardicio and Cardinal Odo of Brescia were sent as papal legates to Lombardy, to attempt to arrange a peace between the cities of Milan and Lodi. The former was an opponent of the emperor, the latter a partisan. They failed. Cardinal Ardicio subscribed a bull for Pope Adrian on 24 June 1159 at Palestrina (?), and on 28 June at Anagni. Schism Pope Adrian died at Anagni on 1 September 1159. Before he died, however, he held a meeting with the cardinals who supported King William I of Sicily, in opposition to Frederick Barbarossa. In the papal presence, the cardinals swore under oath that they would hold Frederick under the ban of excommunication and that. from that time forward, even to death, they would oppose him; when it should happen that the pope died, they swore to elect no successor except from among those who had sworn the oath. After the pope died, while the cardinals were still in Anagni, they apparently made a pact not to finalize an election without a general consensus. When the electoral process began in St. Peter's Basilica on Saturday, 5 September 1159, three cardinal bishops named Rolando, two named Ottaviano, and one supported neither. The fourteen cardinals who had taken the oath, including Ardicio supported Cardinal Rolando Bandinelli of S. Marco, who had been Pope Adrian's Chancellor. Nine cardinals, less than one-third, stood with Cardinal Ottaviano de' Monticelli of S. Cecilia, the friend of the Emperor Frederick and the imperial candidate. The other seven supported neither. There was a stalemate, which lasted through three days of intense discussion. During these discussions a number of cardinals decided to change their votes: some of the seven cardinals who were in neither the imperial faction nor the chancellor's faction, but who had been supporting Bernard, the cardinal bishop of Porto, went over to Rolando. With a majority, and no hope of a consensus, the cardinals enthroned Rolando as Pope Alexander III, which induced the imperial faction, with military support, to uncanonically proclaim Ottaviano as Victor IV. The resulting schism lasted two decades. Reign of Alexander III In October 1159, following the beginning of the schism of Victor IV (Octavianus de' Monticelli), Cardinal Ardicio was one of the signatories of a letter of the cardinals to the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, supporting Pope Alexander III and denouncing Octavian as a schismatic. On 15 October, Ardicio subscribed a bull of Alexander III in favor of the church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. At the beginning of spring 1160, he was sent, along with Bishop Otho of Tivoli, to Constantinople to explain the circumstances of the papal election to Manuel I Komnenos, and to seek imperial support for Pope Alexander. At the end of August 1162, Pope Alexander, who was staying at the Cluniac priory of Souvigny between Bourges and Clermont, held a face-to-face meeting with King Louis VII of France, but they were unable to agree on the holding of a conference between them. Alexander, moreover, was afraid of trickery on the part of the emperor and Henry II of England. Alexander then sent a delegation to the king, composed of Bishop Bernard of Porto, Cardinal Hubaldus of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, Cardinal Joannes of S. Anastasia, Cardinal Jacinthus of S. Maria in Cosmedin, and Cardinal Ardicio of S. Teodoro. There mission was to explain to the king that the election of Alexander III was the canonical one. Instead, the king had a meeting with the antipope and the emperor at Dijon. Ardicio and his associates were back with the pope at Dol on 20 September; they then travelled to Clermont, and were at Tours on 5 November 1162. In 1165, Cardinal Ardicio made a second voyage to Constantinople to ensure that the Emperor Manuel would support Pope Alexander. He subscribed a bull at Montpellier on 21 July 1165, and another on 27 July. Ardicio and the papal court were back in Rome on 23 November 1165, and Ardicio subscribed a bull at the Lateran in Rome on 18 March 1166. For a time, between 1169 and 1173, he was papal legate, with Cardinal Manfred of Lavagna, and is attested at Como. Ardicio and nine other cardinals were in Benevento on 24 July 1169, when they signed the bull which regulated the government of Benevento and addressed its shortcomings. In 1171, Ardicio was Rector of Benevento. On 2 January 1179, Cardinal Ardicio was in Tusculum, where he signed a bull in favor of the monastery of Ss. Flora and Lucilla in Arezzo. He was in Rome in March 1179, and attended the Third Lateran Council of Pope Alexander III, which held its first plenary session on 5 March, its second on 7 March, and its third on 19 March. At the Lateran, he subscribed a papal bull on 6 March 1179, another on 20 March, and a third on 26 March. On 22 March 1179, Cardinal Ardicio presided over the case between the bishop of Cremona and the abbot of the monastery of S. Genesio Brixilense in Parma, and defined the boundaries of three disputed churches. He was at the Lateran again on 7 April 1179, to sign a bull in favor of the monastery of S. Nazario in Lorscheim. Reign of Lucius III Pope Alexander died on 30 August 1181, and the meeting to elect his successor took place on 1 September. Hubertus Allucingoli, bishop of Ostia and Velletri, was elected Pope Lucius III. Cardinal Ardicio was probably present, though there is no positive evidence to the fact. In October 1182, Cardinal Ardicio is mentioned in a letter of Pope Lucius as holding a "prelacy" over the clerics of the church of Platina (Piadena), in consideration of his having built the church out of his own funds and established the clergy there. In 1184 Pope Lucius III was expelled from Rome, after he took sides in the ongoing wars between the Roman commune and Tusculum. Having lost to the Romans, Lucius fled to the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, who was at Verona, hoping to enlist his assistance. Some of the cardinals followed Pope Lucius to Verona; others, however, whose followers had perpetrated outrages at Tusculum and in the Roman campagna, remained in the city. Ten cardinals who were with the pope in his journey north participated in the consecration of the cathedral of Modena on 14 July 1184. They were: Theodinus of Porto, Tebaldus of Ostia; Joannes of S. Marco, Laborans of S. Maria Transtiberim, Pandulfus of Ss. Apostolorum, Ubertus of S. Lorenzo in Damaso; Ardicio of S. Teodoro, Graziano of Ss. Cosma e Damiano, Goffredfus of S. Maria in Via Lata, and Albinus of S. Maria Nuova. Ardicio was one of eighteen cardinals who subscribed a papal bull in Verona on 11 November 1185, two weeks before the pope's death. Pope Lucius died on 25 November 1185. The meeting to elect his successor, given the threat posed by the emperor's siege, met on the same day and elected Hubertus of Milan, the cardinal-priest of San Lorenzo in Damaso as Pope Urban III. Cardinal Ardicio was probably present, though there is no positive evidence. Reign of Urban III Ardicio last subscribed a papal document on 13 March 1186. The papal court was still in Verona, trapped by the siege of Frederick Barbarossa, and did not escape until the last week of September 1187. Ardicio's successor at S. Teodoro, Johannes Malabranca, first subscribes on 16 March 1188, after a new pope, Clement III had returned to Rome. References Sources Brixius, Johannes Matthias (1912).

"After Awhile" is an album by country music singer-songwriter Jimmie Dale Gilmore. It was released in 1991 as his debut album for Elektra Nonesuch Records. Critical reception In The Village Voices annual Pazz & Jop critics' poll for the year's best albums, "After Awhile" placed at number 13. The Chicago Tribune'''s music critic Greg Kot hailed it as one of the year's best albums and wrote in Trouser Press that "it wasn’t until "After Awhile" that Gilmore’s unique style became fully apparent. For the first time, the breadth of his writing is on display...For all the high-minded aspirations in the music, Gilmore never turns into a cosmic cowboy; not for nothing is he fond of quoting Ezra Pound's maxim that 'The poem fails when it strays too far from the song and the song fails when it strays too far from the dance.' The music on "After Awhile" embodies that synergy between heart, intellect and groove."The New Rolling Stone Album Guide praised "After Awhile"'' for "vaulting [Gilmore] into the ranks of some of the Lone Star state's finest troubadours" while observing that the album "finds Gilmore liberated from the strictures of a dancehall stage, free to serve song over form in the spirit of a folk artist rather than an entertainer." Mark Deming from AllMusic gave the record a 4.5-star rating, calling it "a subtle, unforced masterpiece that captures Gilmore at the subtle peak of his abilities."

Tributaries Its main tributaries are the long Kengeede, the long Kyuyonelekeen (Кюёнэлэкээн) and the long Kukusunda from the left, as well as the long Kyuyonelikeen (Кюёнэликээн) from the right. Flora and fauna The river flows north of the Arctic circle across a lightly-wooded taiga zone. The most common trees are larches. Taimen, lenok, whitefish, grayling and pike are the main fish species found in the waters of the Arga-Sala.
