Alice Lardé de Venturino was a Salvadoran poet and writer. Internationally recognized for her lyric poems, Lardé published scientific works, she has been recognized by the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador and the government of Chile, both of whom have renamed public streets and offices in her name. Alice Lardé Arthés was born on 29 June 1895 in San Salvador, El Salvador to Amalia Arthés Echeverría and Jorge Lardé Bourdon, her father was of French heritage and was born in Baton Rouge, coming to El Salvador at the age of eleven in 1869. Her father was a chemical engineer and her mother was a teacher. Lardé was one of eight siblings: Jorge, Luis, Maria, Carlos and Zelie, who grew up on a farm near Lake Ilopango; the family was well-to-do and the children had a privileged education. Her brother Jorge would become a noted geologist and seismologist, her brother Enrique was a writer and editor, her sister Zélie would become a noted painter. Carlos became a surgeon and moved to the United States, where his daughter, Alicia became the spouse of Nobel Laureate, John Forbes Nash Jr. Lardé's first publications appeared in the Salvadoran magazine Espiral in 1919.

The journal was edited by Miguel Ángel Chacón and her brother and she collaborated with it through 1922. In 1921, she published her first volume of Pétalos del alma in San Salvador. On 16 July 1924, she married the Chilean sociologist, Agustín Venturino Poetry books followed, including Alma viril, Sangre del trópico which were both published in Santiago; the couple soon moved to Buenos Aires, where she continued to write and publish for the newspaper Patria.

Delgado compared Lardé's skill with words comparable to those of Gabriela Mistral or Alfonsina Storni. In 1939, Lardé was recognized in Chile when both a library and a public school were named in her honor. From the 1940s, many of her publications included scientific works including: La dinámica terrestre y sus fenómenos inherentes, ¿Es la electricidad el origen de la vida y de la muerte?, Mi América: Odisea de un Colegial Salvadoreño a través de Centro y Sudamérica, Fórmulas gráficas prácticas del vitaoculiscopio y oculivita, La Electricidad: Alma Mater Universal, Fenómenos Cosmológicos y Biopsicológicos, La frigidez sexual de la mujer, El Volumen Poético Antológico Grito al Sol.

The Bronx River 24 miles long, flows through southeast New York in the United States and drains an area of 38.4 square miles. It is named after colonial settler Jonas Bronck; the Bronx River is the only fresh water river in New York City. It rose in what is now the Kensico Reservoir, in Westchester County north of New York City. With the construction of the Kensico Dam in 1885, the river was cut off from its natural headwaters and today a small tributary stream serves as its source; the Bronx River flows south past White Plains south-southwest through the northern suburbs in New York, passing through Edgemont, Tuckahoe and Bronxville. It forms the border between the large cities of Yonkers and Mount Vernon, flows into the northern end of The Bronx, where it divides East Bronx from West Bronx, southward through Bronx Park, New York Botanical Garden, the Bronx Zoo and continues through neighborhoods of the South Bronx, it empties into the East River, a tidal strait connected to Long Island Sound, between the Soundview and Hunts Point neighborhoods.

In the 17th century, the river—called by the natives "Aquehung"—served as a boundary between loosely associated bands under sachems of the informal confederacy of the Wecquaesgeek, Europeanized as the Wappinger. The same line would be retained when manors were granted to the English; the Algonkian significance of the name is variously reported. The tract purchased by Jonas Bronck in 1639 lay between the Harlem River and the river that came to be called "Bronck's river". During the 19th and 20th centuries, the river became a natural sewer into which industrial waste was poured every day. An early mill on the industrialized river was the Lorillard Snuff Mill, preserved in the grounds of the New York Botanical Garden. With the decline of manufacturing in the area, the river continued to receive water pollution from the communities that lined its banks. In December 1948, flow of the Bronx River was changed to eliminate a curve in its course in Bronxville, to create land in the old riverbed on which to construct an addition to Lawrence Hospital.

During the excavations a large sand bar was uncovered where sand had accumulated at the bend over hundreds of years and made a sandy beach. In the 21st century, environmental groups including the Bronx River Alliance proposed to return the river to its original state as a clean waterway; the river became a favorite project of U. S. Representative José Serrano, who secured US$14.6 million in federal funding to support the rehabilitation of the waterway, into which some Westchester towns continued to discharge raw sewage intermittently, as sanitary sewer overflows, as late as 2006. Under a November 28, 2006 agreement, the municipalities of Scarsdale, White Plains, Mount Vernon and Greenburgh agreed to stop dumping sewage in the Bronx River by May 1, 2007. Urban runoff pollution continues to be a serious problem for the river; the Bronx River Watershed Coalition, a partnership of local and state agencies, citizen groups and non-profit organizations, have developed watershed management plans to reduce stormwater pollution and improve water quality.

Local alewife, taken from a coastal tributary in nearby Connecticut, were released in the river in March 2006. The alewife were expected to spawn in the river's headwaters, their offspring would spend the summer in the river, migrate out to sea in the fall, in three to five years return, like all anadromous fishes, to their spawning grounds. Stocking was intended to be repeated annually for the following five years, to build up the new resident population; the fishes, among a group called "river herring," feed low on the food-chain and help reduce eutrophication. And in fact, several adult alewife were found below the first dam on the river on April 7, 2009; as an analysis revealed they were 3 years old, the assumption of scientists is that these were in fact descendants of the alewife released 3 years before in March 2006. The next step will be to erect fish ladders over the 3 dams lowest on the river, allowing the alewife access to a portion of the river with more suitable spawning habitat.

In February 2007 biologists with the Wildlife Conservation Society, which operates the Zoo, spotted a beaver in the river. "There has not been a sighting of a beaver in New York City for over 200 years. It sounds fantastic, but one of the messages that comes out of this is if you give wildlife a chance it will come back," said John Calvelli, a spokesman for the Society; the beaver is named Jose Serrano, after the Congressman, was sighted below the East Tremont bridge at Drew Gardens as as June, 2009. Beaver had not lived in New York City since the early 19th century when trappers extirpated them from the state. In the summer of 2010 a second beaver joined Jose. Beaver were once important to the city's economy and pair of beaver appear on the city's official seal and flag. Along much of its length in Westchester County and the northern Bronx the river is paralleled by the Bronx River Parkway and its associated bicycle path from Bronxville to the Kensico Dam plaza. A project, the Bronx River Greenway, proposes a unified management plan for the narrow ribbon of riverside green spaces in the 8 miles stretch of river that passes through Westchester County and the Bronx, as part of the East Coast Greenway.

It includes Concrete Plant Park on the right bank, below Westchester Avenue and Starlight Park above there. Construction on the Bronx R

St John Fisher Catholic High School known as St. John Fisher RC Comprehensive School, is situated in the city of Peterborough, is the only Catholic school in Cambridgeshire; the school moved back onto the Park Lane site and was reopened on Wednesday 25 February 2009. The school has a strong Sixth Form with half of Year 11 staying on each year to complete A level courses. Students are required to have obtained at least 5 GCSE grades from A* to C in order to take up any A level course at the school's dedicated sixth form. Many A Level subjects are offered at St. John Fisher Catholic High School, some of which are taught at The King's School through a collaborative arrangement; the school is led by a headteacher, deputy headteacher and four assistant headteachers, plus a Business Manager. Each year House and School Councils, Head Boy/Girl, Deputy Head Boy/Girl are elected by the students. Many other opportunities for students to lead are provided annually. Examination results have improved at both GCSE and A level.

Progress measures are strong and the changes to performance tables for 2016 emphasize this. Ofsted have visited the school many times in recent years following a dip in performance that saw the school placed in special measures from 2008–2010. Steady and continual improvement since has seen the school judged Good in October 2013; the corresponding Diocesan Inspection judged the school to be an outstanding Catholic school. When the school was given over fourteen million pounds to modernize their buildings and facilities it was felt that the school itself needed to be modernized also; the school name changed to'St. John Fisher Catholic High School', the school time table changed from six lessons a day to four seventy-five-minute lessons, a new uniform and a new school logo; the school opened on Wednesday 25 February 2009 in their old site with new facilities, buildings and a new look. Executive head teacher, Sean Hayes was appointed as permanent head teacher
