# Mount Balfour

Mount Balfour is a mountain located on the Continental Divide, part of the border between British Columbia and Alberta, in the Waputik Range in the Park Ranges of the Canadian Rockies. It is the 71st highest peak in Alberta and the 113th highest in British Columbia; it is also the 52nd most prominent in Alberta.
The mountain was named by James Hector in 1859 after Professor John Hutton Balfour, a Scottish botanist and instructor at the University of Edinburgh where Hector had studied.

## Climbing History

Early attempts to climb the mountain were made from Niles Pass via Sherbrooke Lake. The first ascent was made on August 18, 1898, by C.L. Noyes, C.S. Thompson, G.M. Weed; members of the Appalachian Mountain Club. The party started their ascent from Hector Lake which they had reached by crossing Dolomite Pass to Bow Lake and then continuing south. C.E. Fay had also attempted the mountain in 1898 via the Sherbrooke Lake/Niles Pass approach but were eventually turned back by poor weather and inexperience. Parties from the ACC completed ascents of Balfour in 1909 via Sherbrooke Lake, Niles Pass, Daly Glacier and then summitting via the SE arête.

## Geology

Mount Balfour is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods. Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.

## Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Balfour is located in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. Temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C.

# André Raponda Walker

André Raponda Walker (1871–1968) was a Gabonese author, ethnographer, Catholic priest, and missionary. Walker wrote extensively about Gabonese language and culture.

## Biography

Raponda-Walker was born to a Mpongwe mother, Princesse Agnorogoulè Ikoutou, niece of King Anguilè Louis Dowé, and Robert Bruce Napoleon Walker, a British merchant in Gabon, and member of the Anthropological Society.
The young boy spent a year in England around his fourth birthday but returned to Gabon in 1876 and started at the school of Sainte-Marie in 1877.
He was ordained on 23 July 1899 and his first assignment was at Notre-Dame-des-Trois-Épis in Ngounié in southern Gabon.
He was the first person from Gabon to be ordained as a Catholic priest. He served at several locations in Gabon where he learnt a number of local languages and created dictionaries and lexicographies. These works are still used today.
From about 1930, Monsignor Walker was one of the few missionaries still studying and documenting Gabonese anthropology, as many foreign researchers had returned to their countries of origin. Walker used interviews to gather the oral traditions of his country using his knowledge of about twelve Gabonese languages. He gathered histories of the Gabonese estuary, the N'Gounie River valley and coastal areas.
Raponda-Walker retired in 1947 at Libreville. He had been stationed at a number of locations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, including Sindara, Libreville, Boutika (Guinée Equatoriale), Donguila, Lambaréné, Saint-Martin (near Mouila) et au Fernan Vaz.
Andre lived to see his country independent. Most of Raponda-Walker's work was published in the last few years of his life, after editing by Marcel Soret, a French ethnologist. The work contributed to a systematic project to record Gabonese culture led by Hubert Deschamps.

## Legacy

Walker is well regarded in his country. His image appeared on one of the nation's postage stamps in 1981 and the Collège et Lycée Raponda Walker was named in his honour.

# Ciriaco Cuesta

Ciriaco Cuesta Sanz (16 March 1907), also known by his nickname Cuestita, was a Spanish footballer who played as a forward for Atlético Madrid. He is considered by some as the most important Segovian player in history.
He later worked as a manager.

## Playing career

Ciriaco Cuesta was born in Sanchonuño, Segovia, on 16 March 1907, and he began his football career at Deportivo de La Coruña in 1928, at the age of 21. While there, he stood out as a great striker, so he was signed by Atlético Madrid in 1929, for whom he played in the inaugural La Liga season in 1929. In its December 1929 issue, the illustrated magazine Gran Vida dedicated its cover to the "football star" from Segovia, and defined him as an "admirable player, a master of possessing devilish mobility". Since his emergence into the first division, everything has been praise for Cuesta "despite his doll-like figure", and the press of the time in general agreed in warning that with his presence, Atlético's game had "more life, "more union, more danger for the enemy." Cuesta was also described as a player "with easy and quick dribbling in his actions and the ability to score goals".
At the end of the 1929–30 season, however, the club's permanence in the First Division was in serious danger, since they needed a win in the final matchday to avoid relegation against the already crowned league champions Athletic Bilbao, and although Cuesta netted twice in the first half, they ultimately lost 4–3 and were relegated to the Segunda División. He remained at Atlético for seven years until the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, playing a total of 62 competitive matches, including 47 in the league and 15 in the Copa del Rey. By this alone, Cuesta is considered by some as the most important Segovian player in history.
After his professional journey, Cuesta returned to Segovia to receive a tribute on 31 May 1936, in a match between Gimnástico FC and Atlético in front of a large audience in the stands, which ended with a comfortable victory to Atlético (4–7) minimized in a second half because several red and white players change teams to balance the clash.

## Managerial career

After the Spanish Civil War ended in 1939, Cuesta played one season for Imperio CF, where he retired in 1940 and then made his debut as a coach later that same year. He also managed Gimnástica Segoviana CF between 1947 and 1949.
