Erebus Chalice
The Erebus Chalice is a silver and gilt chalice gifted to the National Science Foundation in 1987 for use in the Chapel of the Snows at McMurdo Station in Antarctica, where it is now kept on display during austral summers. At the time of its gifting, the Chalice was believed to have been carried aboard (and thus named after) HMS Erebus, which, alongside HMS Terror, was one of two ships of the Ross Expedition that mapped Antarctica in 1839–1843.

In 2006 the Canterbury Museum, Christchurch discovered that the chalice actually had been made in London circa 1910 and therefore could not have sailed aboard Erebus.

Tubal ligation
Tubal ligation (commonly known as having one's "tubes tied") is a surgical procedure for female sterilization in which the fallopian tubes are permanently blocked, clipped or removed. This prevents the fertilization of eggs by sperm and thus the implantation of a fertilized egg. Tubal ligation is considered a permanent method of sterilization and birth control by the FDA. Bilateral tubal ligation is not considered a sterilization method by the MHRA.

O'Heerin
O'Heerin (Irish: Ó hUidhrín) is an Irish surname meaning "grandson or descendant of Uidhrin" ("little grey"). The O'Heerin clan of Leinster originates in the ancient Kingdom of Uí Failghe corresponding to the modern County Offaly, the territory given by the second-century king Cathair Mór to his eldest son Ros Failgeach.

Uidhrin O'Maelmuire was an 11th-century Ui Neill chief ruling Cenél Fearadhaigh, now the barony of Clogher in County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. His son and grandson also ruled as chiefs, before Mac Cathmhaoil in the 12th century. It is unknown if these chiefs were related to the Leinster clan. The name next appears with the historian Giolla na Naomh Ó hUidhrín (O'Heerin) who died in 1420. His addition to Seán Mór Ó Dubhagáin (O'Dugan)'s "Triallam timcheall na Fodla" commences with "Tuilleadh feasa ar Éirinn óigh" (More Knowledge on Sacred Ireland).

Cathair Mór
Cathair Mór ("the great"), son of Feidhlimidh Fiorurghlas, a descendant of Conchobar Abradruad, was, according to Lebor Gabála Érenn, a High King of Ireland. He took power after the death of Fedlimid Rechtmar. Cathair ruled for three years, at the end of which he was killed by the Luaigne of Tara, led by Conn Cétchathach. The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (161–180). The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 113–116, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 119–122.

Henri Verneuil
Henri Verneuil (French: [ɑ̃ʁi vɛʁnœj]; born Ashot Malakian; 15 October 1920 – 11 January 2002) was a French-Armenian playwright and filmmaker, who made a successful career in France. He was nominated for Oscar and Palme d'Or awards, and won Locarno International Film Festival, Edgar Allan Poe Awards, French Legion of Honor, Golden Globe Award, French National Academy of Cinema and Honorary Cesar awards.

According to one obituary:

For exactly 40 years, the prolific Verneuil made movies as mainstream and commercial as any to be found in America or Britain. In his best period – the 1950s and 1960s – he delivered films in the "tradition of quality" so despised by the Nouvelle Vague. Many of them proved excellent vehicles for old-timers Jean Gabin and Fernandel, and newcomers such as Jean-Paul Belmondo and Alain Delon.
Nu Herculis
Nu Herculis, Latinized from ν Herculis, is a binary and variable star in the constellation of Hercules. With an apparent magnitude of about 4.4, it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos spacecraft put it at a distance of about 860 light years (260 parsecs).

This is a binary system with the two components separated by 0.446″.  The secondary is nearly three magnitudes fainter than the primary at magnitude 7.5, and is hotter than the primary with a spectral type of B9.5.

Nu Herculis's spectral type of F2 II means that it is an F-type bright giant, with a luminosity 799 times that of the Sun. Its effective temperature is 6,410 K, hotter than the Sun. Its mass is about 5.3 solar masses. It is a possible semiregular variable star with a range of about a tenth of a magnitude.  A period of 29 days has been derived.

Giant star
A giant star has a substantially larger radius and luminosity than a main-sequence (or dwarf) star of the same surface temperature. They lie above the main sequence (luminosity class V in the Yerkes spectral classification) on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram and correspond to luminosity classes II and III. The terms giant and dwarf were coined for stars of quite different luminosity despite similar temperature or spectral type (namely K and M) by Ejnar Hertzsprung in 1905 or 1906.

Giant stars have radii up to a few hundred times the Sun and luminosities over 10  times that of the Sun. Stars still more luminous than giants are referred to as supergiants and hypergiants.

A hot, luminous main-sequence star may also be referred to as a giant, but any main-sequence star is properly called a dwarf, regardless of how large and luminous it is.
