# Ukrainian National Association

The Ukrainian National Association (UNA) (Ukrainian: Український народний союз), known before 1914 as the Ruthenian National Union (Ukrainian: Руський Народний Союз), is a North American fraternal organization founded in Shamokin, Pennsylvania on February 22, 1894, when the first wave of immigrants from the territories of today's Western Ukraine came to the United States and Canada.

## History

Originally called the Ruthenian National Union (Ukrainian: Руський Народний Союз), it was partly established to counter the influence of the Hungarian-oriented Greek Catholic Union of the USA. The Union adopted the newspaper Svoboda (Liberty) as its organ and sought to develop a distinctly Ukrainian identity. It offered to provide for material needs, such as funeral expenses and care for destitute members while also promoting Ukrainian culture.
The Union later changed its name to the Ukrainian National Association in order to assert a specifically Ukrainian ethnocultural identity.
During the Cold War, the UNA advocated on behalf of Ukraine's independence. It also sponsored the creation of a Ukrainian Studies Center at Harvard University, the erection of the Taras Shevchenko Monument in Washington, D.C., and the publication of Ukraine: a concise encyclopedia.
UNA retains a close relationship with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA.

## Membership

Membership is open to those of Ukrainian descent or married to the same. People under sixteen must join the junior division.
In 1965 the UNA had 84,414 members. By 1979 this had declined to 81,000. There were 69,000 members in 1995. It now has more than 50,000 members in the United States and Canada, who own over $170 million in life insurance protection in the UNA.
In 1979 the UNA had 465 local units in the US and Canada in twenty-nine districts in 1979. Its headquarters were in Jersey City, New Jersey.

## Activities

In 1952, the organization founded the Soyuzivka Heritage Center in the Catskills for use as a cultural center by its members. The association founded the weekly English language newspaper, The Ukrainian Weekly and the Ukrainian language daily Svoboda and the monthly Veselka. It also sponsors summer school, folk dances, cultural events and charitable giving.

# Channa aurolineata

Channa aurolineata is a species of Asian snakehead in the family Channidae. It is found natively in most of Myanmar's waterways as well as the Mae Khlong drainage in Thailand. There is also an invasive population found in Southeast Florida, United States. This species was recently split from C. marulius, the bullseye snakehead, and confirmed as a separate species in 2018; and the Florida and Thailand populations were not discovered to be C. aurolineata until even more recently in 2019. Before this, the Thailand population's species was unknown and the Florida ones were assumed to be C. marulius. C. aurolineata was able to be separated as a new species and identified in other areas due to slight differences in color pattern, lateral line scale and fin ray morphology, and DNA structure from the other species in the marulius complex.
There is no record of what the average lifespan of C. aurolineata is. On March 18, 2024, Pata Zoo in Thailand announced to permanently stop exhibiting C. aurolineata that the zoo has raised named Pi-lim (Thai: พี่หลิม) because it is old, has cloudy eyes, and refuses to eat food. The zoo has raised him for 20 years.
