The Agly is a very irregular small river. Its flow was observed over a period of 42 years (1967-2008) in Estagel about twenty kilometers from its mouth and after receiving the waters of its tributary Verdouble.
The discharge of the river at this location is 6.31 m per second.
The Agly shows typical seasonal fluctuations like other small rivers in southern France. The highest levels of the river are in winter and spring, from December to May inclusive, with the highest level in February. They are followed by a rapid fall in the flow during the low water period that goes from late June to early October.
The Angly has 19 tributaries; the main ones are:

Helen Thomas
Helen Thomas (August 4, 1920 – July 20, 2013) was an American author and news service reporter. She was a member of the White House press corps and opinion columnist. Thomas was the first female White House press correspondent.

In 1993, Thomas won the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism.
In 1995 she received the Courage in Journalism Award.
In April 2012, Thomas received an award from the Palestine Liberation Organization. The award was presented by Hanan Ashrawi to "recognize Thomas' long career in the field of journalism, during which she defended the Palestinian position every step of the way."
Thomas was born on August 4, 1920 in Winchester, Kentucky. She is of Lebanese descent. Thomas was raised in Detroit, Michigan. She studied at Wayne University. Thomas was married to Douglas B.

National library
A national library is a library that is established to serve a country or a nation. Sometimes national libraries are dedicated to one subject and sometimes they are divided into several buildings.
Listed according to the alphabetical order of the countries, the national libraries are located in:
Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure
The Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure or DGSE is the French intelligence agency. It is a military organisation. Its headquarters is in Paris, on the Boulevard Mortier.
Templer architecture
Templer architecture was a style of architecture that was designed by the German Templers. The Templers were a group of religious believers that was a sect of the German Protestant church. They built communities in Palestine in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Header file
In computer programming, a header file can be thought of as a dictionary a compiler uses if it comes across a word it does not understand. Mainly programming languages like C and C++ use this.
As you may know, a computer is really powerful. But it lacks the power to think and learn. As a result, a computer has to be fed each and every instruction for a task you may want done. But it is not practical to type in each and every instruction again and again for a task, especially if you tend to use it a lot. As a solution to this, header files are used. For example, consider the word "cout" which is used by C++ to display outputs on the screen. The computer, however, does not know what "cout" is. So, it checks if "cout" exists in a dictionary file (i.e. the header file) that has been mentioned by the programmer. If it finds what to do when someone says "cout", the program will be compiled properly. Otherwise, it will simply result in an error that so-and-so word has not been understood by the compiler.
A HEADER FILE IN C++ CONTAINS:
Embraer Emb-314 Super Tucano
The Embraer Emb-314 Super Tucano is a modernized variant of the Emb-312 Tucano. It's used by US Air Force as Embraer A-29 as a light attack aircraft.
Embraer Emb-312 Tucano
The Embraer Emb-312 Tucano is a Brazilian single-turboprop military aircraft. Its cockpit has two seats. The Royal Air Force use Tucano built under licence by Shorts. More than 600 examples were built. Its main competitor is the Swiss Pilatus PC-9.
Neiva T-25 Universal
The Neiva T-25 Universal is a Brazilian training military aircraft. It is a single-engine, twin-seat aircraft. Its first flight was in 1966, and 189 examples were built. It was flown in Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, and Paraguay.
Vaginal bleeding
Vaginal bleeding is any bleeding through the human vagina. That includes bleeding from either the vaginal wall itself or, more commonly, other areas of the female reproductive system. Vaginal bleeding may happen at any age, although it always needs investigation if encountered in girls or women after menopause. If the condition happens in pregnancy, that could indicate a medical need which should be addressed.

Modularity theorem
In mathematics, the modularity theorem (which used to be called the Taniyama–Shimura–Weil conjecture and several related names) says that elliptic curves over the field of rational numbers are similar to modular forms.
