River Gele
River Gele near Towyn. Looking east from the road bridge. The River Gele (''Welsh:'' Afon Gele) is a river in the North Wales and a tributary of the River Clwyd. The town of Abergele takes its name from the river. The spelling is a dialectal spelling of the Welsh word ' (spear or blade). The river gives its name to an electoral ward, called Gele, which includes the southern half of Abergele town. The river used to empty into the sea direct through the town of Abergele, but the Rhuddlan Marsh embankment act of 1794, diverted the river from the south of the town in an eastwards direction across the south of Rhuddlan Marsh and into the River Clwyd at Towyn. A short distance of the rivermouth is tidal. In 2010 and 2011 there were pollution scares on the river near its meeting point with the River Clwyd at Kinmel Bay Kinmel Bay ( cy, Bae Cinmel) is a seaside village in Conwy County Borough, north-east Wales.

Head Tie
A head tie also known as a headwrap is a women's cloth head scarf that is commonly worn in many parts of West Africa and Southern Africa. The head tie is used as an ornamental head covering or fashion accessory, or for functionality in different settings. Its use or meaning can vary depending on the country and/or religion of those who wear it. Among Jewish women, the Biblical source for covering hair comes from the Torah in the book of Bamidbar Parshas Nasso which contains the source for the obligation of a married woman to cover her hair. An ''eesha sotah'' is a woman whose husband suspects her of having acted immorally. The Torah commands the Kohein to take various steps to demonstrate that the ''sotah'' has deviated from the modest and loyal path of most married Jewish women (Rashi 5:15-27). Among the procedures, the ''pasuk'' clearly states: ''“ufora es rosh haisha…”'' ''and he shall uncover the hair of the head of the woman'' (5:18). One can only uncover something that ...

Prosopis Africana
''Prosopis africana'' is a flowering plant species in the genus Fabaceae. It is found in Africa. Its common names include African mesquite, iron tree, ''gele'' (Malinke) (traditional djembe wood) or ''somb'' tree. In the Serer creation myth, it is one of the sacred trees that grew not just first, but also within the primordial swamp on Earth. Seeds of ''P. africana'' are used in Nigeria to prepare daddawa, kpaye or okpeye, fermented products used as food condiments. Several species of bacteria especially ''Bacillus subtilis'', ''Bacillus licheniformis'', ''Bacillus megaterium'', '' Staphylococcus epidermidis'' and ''Micrococcus'' spp. were found to be the most actively involved organisms in the production of okpiye. Sequencing of 16S rRNA genes of selected strains representative of the major clusters revealed that the ''Bacillus'' strains associated with okpehe fermentation were ''B. subtilis'', '' B. amyloliquefaciens'', '' B. cereus'' and ''B. licheniformis'' (in decreas ...
