Main may refer to:
"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either passively, openly or via sabotage.
As a phrase meaning "the boss" it dates from at least 1918.
In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
The use of this term was expanded to counterculture groups and their battles against authority, such as the Yippies, which, according to a May 19, 1969 article in U.S. News and World Report, had the "avowed aim ... to destroy 'The Man', their term for the present system of government". The term eventually found its way into humorous usage, such as in a December 1979 motorcycle ad from the magazine Easyriders which featured the tagline, "California residents: Add 6% sales tax for The Man."
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague.
Rivers are part of the hydrological cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs, and the release of stored water in natural ice and snowpacks (e.g. from glaciers). Potamology is the scientific study of rivers while limnology is the study of inland waters in general.
The River may refer to:
The Snowy River is a major river in south-eastern Australia. It originates on the slopes of Mount Kosciuszko, Australia's highest mainland peak, draining the eastern slopes of the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales, before flowing through the Alpine National Park and the Snowy River National Park in Victoria and emptying into Bass Strait.
While the river’s course and surroundings have remained almost entirely unchanged, the majority of it being protected by the Snowy River National Park, its flow was drastically reduced in the mid 20th century, to less than 1% (as measured at Jindabyne), after the construction of four large dams (Guthega, Island Bend, Eucumbene, and Jindabyne) and many smaller diversion structures in its headwaters in New South Wales, as part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme.
The river has been immortalised in cultural folklore through the poem The Man from Snowy River, written by 'Banjo' Paterson in 1890, which formed the basis of many subsequent works in film, TV and music theatre.
The Main River: April 27, 2014 The Main flows through the German states of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg (forming the border with Bavaria for some distance) and Hesse. Its basin competes with the Danube for water; as a result, many of its boundaries are identical with those of the European Watershed. The Main river begins near Kulmbach in the Franconia region of Germany, at the joining of its two head-streams, the Red Main (Roter Main) and the White Main (Weißer Main). The Red Main rises in the Franconian Jura mountain range, 50 km (31 mi) in length, and runs through Creussen and Bayreuth. The White Main rises in the mountains of the Fichtelgebirge; it is 41 km (25 mi) long. In its upper and middle section runs in valleys of the German Highlands. In its lower section it crosses the Lower Ma...

Join me as I try out a new Minelab CTX 3030 metal detector for the very first time. Though I did not have the detector set up properly as it was my first hunt, I still manage to find some Civil War relics. Plus I see and swim with a large school of catfish with a few bass and pickerel mixed in. Many thanks to Minelab for letting me check out the detector.

Back to the Robin Hood vs King John legends just in case you still do not understand how the elite bloodlines launch JESUS and replace the GODs in the heavens. The bad Guy King John is the ancestor of George W Bush, QE2 and the Bourbons of Versaille, FDR et al. Robin of Loxley is a myth and Bishop Longchamps from Cambridge/ELY looks after Britannia while king Richard the Lionheart fights in the 3rd crusade then gets kidnapped by his Austrian cousin Leopold Vth. The Leo name is the PISO bloodline joke about Arrrius CalPURRnius PISO who wrote the Bible Fraud in Naples. Leopold demanded 35thousand kg of silver/gold. The Babenhousen region for Mayer Rothschild is profiled next. Just an ordinary Bavarian town to the Se of Frankfurt. Bear, Bayer Beyer are the earlier names for Rothschild...

The South Luangwa Park in Zambia is one of Africa's top wildlife watching locations. By late September the river is the main source of water and the means of life. The animals come from far and wide to drink and to look for food. The variety is staggering and this video, part 1 of the story, located near Kaingo camp on the west bank of the river, tells the story of life and death in this most beautiful place.

Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today and fallen leaves
Said she hadn't heard the news
Hadn't had the time to choose
A way to lose but she believes
Gonna see the river man
Gonna tell him all I can
About the plan for lilac time
If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
And all night shows in summertime
Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay she wasn't sure
For when she thought of summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain and stayed for more
Gonna see the river man
Gonna tell him all I can
About the ban on feeling free
If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
I don't suppose it's meant for me
Oh, how they come and go
