Maha Oya
The Maha Oya (Sinhala: මහ ඔය, lit. 'Great River') is a major watercourse in the Sabaragamuwa Province of Sri Lanka. It measures approximately 134 km (83 mi) in length. It runs across four provinces and five districts. The Maha Oya has 14 water supply networks to serve the need of water and more than 1 million people live by the river.

Its catchment area receives approximately 3,644 million cubic metres of rain per year, and approximately 34 percent of the water reaches the sea. It has a catchment area of 1,510 square kilometres.

The 1949/1950 News of the World Snooker Tournament was a professional snooker tournament sponsored by the News of the World. The tournament was won by Joe Davis with Sidney Smith finishing in second place. It was the first News of the World Tournament, a tournament that ran until 1959.

Horace Lindrum
Horace Lindrum (born Horace Norman William Morrell, 15 January 1912 – 20 June 1974) was an Australian professional player of snooker and English billiards. Lindrum won the 1952 World Snooker Championship defeating New Zealander Clark McConachy. The tournament is disputed, as it had only two participants, and other players boycotted the event to play in the 1952 World Professional Match-play Championship. Lindrum won the Australian Professional Billiards Championship on multiple occasions, first winning the event in 1934.

Lindrum lived in Britain for long periods and played in the major British tournaments. From his arrival in Britain in 1935, he was regarded as the second-best player in the world, behind Joe Davis. Lindrum contested three World Snooker Championship finals against Davis, in 1936, 1937 and 1946, losing all three to Davis but coming close to beating him on several occasions.
Keiler
Keiler is a river icebreaker commissioned in December 2011 to serve as the flagship of Lauenburg's
Water and Shipping Authority fleet of ten icebreakers, on the Elbe River.
The vessel is 33.21 metres (109.0 ft) long and 8.45 metres (27.7 ft) wide.
She has a crew of four, and has sleeping and dining accommodation for operations that take longer than a single shift.

She is the first icebreaker built for the water authority in 24 years.

In February 2012 the upper reaches of the Elbe were beset by the worst ice jams since 1987.
The jams were 20 kilometers long, and upstream communities faced flooding as water built up behind the ice dams.  The Keiler and sister ships Büffel, Widder, and Wisent were dispatched from their normal stations to attack the ice jam.  They had to be careful blocks of ice they freed did not form jams downstream. This crisis represents the first time the water authorities icebreakers were used at night.

Ice jam
Ice jams occur when the ice that is drifting down-current in a river comes to a stop, for instance, at a river bend, when it contacts the river bed in a shallow area, or against bridge piers. Doing so increases the resistance to flow, thereby inducing an increase in water level upstream of the jam (referred to as backwater). Ice jams are thus a main cause for flooding during the winter. In addition, when the jam is released, depending on the conditions under which this happens, the amount of water that was retained behind the jam can also lead to flooding downstream of where the jam occurred. Ice jam floods are generally less predictable and can also be faster than open-water floods.

Assessment of kidney function
Assessment of kidney function occurs in different ways, using the presence of symptoms and signs, as well as measurements using urine tests, blood tests, and medical imaging.

Functions of a healthy kidney include maintaining a person's  fluid balance, maintaining an acid-base balance; regulating sodium and other electrolytes; clearing toxins; regulating blood pressure; and regulating hormones, such as erythropoietin; and activation of vitamin D. The kidney is also involved in maintaining blood pH balance.

Los Piojos
Los Piojos (Spanish: The Lice) is an  Argentine rock band. Extremely popular, it became one of the seminal bands of the 1990s Argentine music scene.

Unlike most suburban outfits, however, their style evolved significantly with each successive album, not only developing a unique style for the band but also incorporating elements of murga, candombe, and tango to an electric guitar base. This plus frontman Ciro's songwriting has made them one of the most popular bands in modern Argentine rock, with a strong following across Latin America and Europe, unusual for a band in their subgenre of Argentine rock.

Sometimes guitars and a clarinet join the ensemble. Tango may be purely instrumental or may include a vocalist. Tango music and dance have become popular throughout the world.
HD 10550
HD 10550 is a single star in the equatorial constellation of Cetus. It is a faint star but visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.98. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 2.9564 mas, it is located around 1,100 light years from the Sun. The star is moving closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −33 km/s. It has a high peculiar velocity of 72.7+5.7−4.3 km/s and may be a runaway star.

The stellar classification of this star is K2/3 III CN II, showing the spectrum of an evolved K-type giant star with an overabundance of CN in the atmosphere. The measured angular diameter of this star, after correction for limb darkening, is 2.11±0.04 mas. At the estimated distance of this star, this yields a physical size of about 77 times the radius of the Sun. The star is radiating around 2,537 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,110 K.

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.
Hopkinton Green Historic District
Hopkinton Green Historic District is a national historic district located at Hopkinton, St. Lawrence County, New York.  The district encompasses two contributing buildings and one contributing site in the town of Hopkinton.  The district is centered on the village green and include representative examples of Italianate and Shingle Style architecture.  Contributing resources are the Hopkinton Green (1808), Town Hall (1870), and Congregational Church (1892).

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

Shingle style architecture
The shingle style is an American architectural style made popular by the rise of the New England school of architecture, which eschewed the highly ornamented patterns of the Eastlake style in Queen Anne architecture. In the shingle style, English influence was combined with the renewed interest in Colonial American architecture which followed the 1876 celebration of the Centennial. The plain, shingled surfaces of colonial buildings were adopted, and their massing emulated.

Aside from being a style of design, the style also conveyed a sense of the house as continuous volume. This effect—of the building as an envelope of space, rather than a great mass, was enhanced by the visual tautness of the flat shingled surfaces, the horizontal shape of many shingle style houses, and the emphasis on horizontal continuity, both in exterior details and in the flow of spaces within the houses.
Albert Smith (New South Wales politician)
Albert Frank Smith (23 October 1885 – 15 October 1975) was an Australian politician.

He joined the Australian Imperial Force in 1914 and was severely wounded at Gallipoli, being invalided home. He returned to active service in 1916 but was wounded again in 1917, becoming an instructor of the Signal Engineers' School and aide-de-camp to General Gustave Ramaciotti. After the war he was closely involved with the Returned Serviceman's League and other veterans' groups. In 1920 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as a Nationalist member for Balmain, but he was defeated in 1922. He died in 1975 in Normanhurst.
