Halil (musical instrument)
A halil is an ancient Jewish reed instrument. It is similar to the Greek aulos. The instrument is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament in 1 Samuel 10:5, 1 Kings 1: 40, Isaiah 5:12,  Isaiah 30:29, and Jeremiah 48:36. . Modern English-language editions of the Bible usually translate it as flute or pipe. However, the text of the Septuagint, Vulgate, and Talmud all indicate that the instrument was likely a double (a modern equivalent would be an oboe) or single reed instrument (a modern equivalent would be a clarinet). Most musicologists accept this interpretation. However, some scholars believe the term halil was a word that was used collectively for all wind instruments based on text from the Jerusalem Talmud. The halil is also referred to in the Mishnah.

Aulos
An aulos (plural auloi; Ancient Greek: αὐλός : aulós, plural αὐλοί : auloí) or Latin: tibia was a wind instrument in  ancient Greece, often depicted in art and also attested by archaeology.

Though the word aulos is often translated as "flute" or as "double flute", the instrument was usually double-reeded, and its sound—described as "penetrating, insisting and exciting"—was more akin to that of modern woodwind instruments such as oboes or bagpipes with a chanter and (modulated) drone.

An aulete (αὐλητής : aulētḗs) was the musician who performed on an aulos. The ancient Roman equivalent was the tibicen (plural tibicines), from the Latin tibia ("pipe", aulos). The neologism aulode is sometimes used by analogy with rhapsode and citharode (citharede) to refer to an aulos-player, who may also be called an aulist; however, aulode more commonly refers to a singer who sang the accompaniment to a piece played on the aulos.

Sō clan
Sō clan (宗氏, Sō-shi) was a Japanese clan claiming descent from Taira no Tomomori. The clan governed and held Tsushima Island from the 13th through the late 19th century, from the Kamakura period until the end of the Edo period and the Meiji Restoration.

In 1587, Toyotomi Hideyoshi confirmed the clan's possession of Tsushima. In the struggles which followed Hideyoshi's death, the clan sided with the Tokugawa; however, they did not participate in the decisive battles which preceded the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate. The descendants of tozama Sō Yoshitoshi (1568–1615) remained at Tsushima-Fuchū Domain (100,000 koku) in Tsushima Province until the abolition of the han system. The head of this clan line was ennobled as count in 1884.

Tozama daimyō were discriminated against by the Tokugawa and opposed to the fudai daimyō, who were allies or vassals of Tokugawa before Sekigahara.

En droppe regn
"En droppe regn" is a song written by Ingela "Pling" Forsman, Bobby Ljunggren and Henrik Wikström, and performed by Niclas Wahlgren at Melodifestivalen 2006, where it went further to Andra chansen before getting knocked out.

The song received a Svensktoppen test on 14 May 2006, but failed to chart.

Svensktoppen
Svensktoppen (Swedish: [ˈsvɛ̂nːskˌtɔpːɛn]) is a weekly record chart airing on Sveriges Radio. Until January 2003, the songs had to be in the Swedish language. Svensktoppen has aired since 1962, except for the years 1982–1985. In the years leading up to the January 2003 change, the programme was strongly dominated by dansband music.

The first number-one hit song was "Midnattstango" performed by Swedish crooner Lars Lönndahl.

New rules on 17 January 2016 restricted the maximum length for a song to chart to one year.
Classiculomycetes
The Classiculomycetes are a class of fungi in the Pucciniomycotina subdivision of the Basidiomycota. The class contains a single order, the Classiculales, which in turn contains the single family Classiculaceae. The family contains two monotypic genera.

They belong to a morpholigical group called "aquatic hyphomycetes" which are fungi that grow on submerged decaying plant matter, but they are also found as mycoparasites and endophytes.  This is only an informal descriptive group which is divided phylogenetically between asco types (the great majority) and basidio types (a small percentage of hyphomycetes).  The Classiculomycetes belong to the basidiomycete minority.

Aquatic hyphomycetes
Aquatic hyphomycetes (also known as Ingoldian fungi) are anamorphic (asexual) fungi that live in aquatic habitats. This group of fungi is mostly classified based on their morphology. Most aquatic hyphomycetes are ascomycetes, but members from other groups are found as well, such as mitosporic basidiomycetes. Aquatic hyphomycetes belong to an asexual stage of a fungus life cycle, and most of these species have not had their teleomorph (sexual) stage identified, if one exists.

There are over 600 described species of aquatic hyphomycetes.
William Nicholson (poet)
William Nicholson (1782–1849) was a Scottish poet, born in the village of Borgue in Kirkcudbrightshire. He was also known variously as "The Bard of Galloway", the itinerant singer and "pedlar-poet", or "Wandering Wull". His best writing makes distinctive use of his native Scots language and many of his works are in the form of song.

He was encouraged by James Hogg and Dr. Alexander Murray. Nicholson's published collections include Tales, in Verse, and Miscellaneous Poems: Descriptive of Rural Life and Manners (1814), a work which contains some 60 original poems, including "The Ghost of Crazy Jane", "The Fairy Dance", and "A Tale of Terror", a number of which have been anthologised. One common anthology piece sometimes associated with his name is also "The Aiken Drum".

He is best remembered today for "The Brownie of Blednoch" (1828), a favourite of the poet Marion Angus (1865–1946), and "The Braes of Galloway".

Venezuela is a diverse and multilingual country, home to a melting pot of people of distinct origins. As a result, many Venezuelans do not regard their nationality with ethnicity, but with citizenship or allegiance. From the 1820s to 1930s Venezuela received 2.1 million European immigrants, the third most in Latin America, behind Argentina and Brazil.

Telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide
Telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide, sold under the brand name Micardis HCT among others, is a fixed-dose combination medication used to treat high blood pressure. It is a combination of telmisartan an angiotensin II receptor antagonist with hydrochlorothiazide a diuretic. It may be used if telmisartan by itself is not sufficient. It is taken by mouth.

Common side effects include dizziness, upper respiratory tract infections, nausea, diarrhea, and tiredness. Severe side effects may include kidney problems, electrolyte problems, and allergic reactions. Use during pregnancy may harm the baby. Telmisartan works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II while hydrochlorothiazide works by decreasing the kidneys' ability to retain water.

The combination was approved for medical use in the United States in November 2000, and in the European Union in April 2002. The combination is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. It is available as a generic medication.

Diuretic
A diuretic (/ˌdaɪjʊˈrɛtɪk/ ⓘ) is any substance that promotes diuresis, the increased production of urine. This includes forced diuresis. A diuretic tablet is sometimes colloquially called a water tablet. There are several categories of diuretics. All diuretics increase the excretion of water from the body, through the kidneys. There exist several classes of diuretic, and each works in a distinct way. Alternatively, an antidiuretic, such as vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone), is an agent or drug which reduces the excretion of water in urine.
