# Carfentrazone

Carfentrazone is an aryl triazoline herbicide, used for pre-crop-establishment control of broadleaf weeds, including marshmallow, annual nettles, and volunteer cotton, and frequently in tank mixtures with knock-down herbicides, such as glyphosate. Under the system of HRAC classification it is a Group 14 (numeric), E (global) or G (Australian), since it acts by membrane disruption, through the inhibition of protoporphyrinogen oxidase. Carfentrazone is used on crops, fallows, forest plantations, industrial, horticultural and commercial areas.
Carfentrazone is used in Australia, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United States and India. It was introduced in 1997.

## Mechanism and effects

Affected weeds rapidly absorb carfentrazone through foliage, and show symptoms within hours, of desiccation, necrosis and death. It is often applied at 75 mL/ha in Australia, or less if part of a knockdown mixture with glyphosate, due to carfentrazone's prevention of weeds' metabolism, which reduces the translocation and effectiveness of glyphosate. Effectiveness is best when applied with much water, and reduced by high temperatures, sunlight and muddy or saline mix-water.

## Safety

Carfentrazone is toxic to aquatic life, both in acute and chronic toxicities. In mammals, carfentrazone has a low toxicity, with an LD$_{50}$ of over 5000 mg/kg, tested orally in rats. For birds, carfentrazone is also of low toxicity.
# Grammy Award for Best Música Urbana Album

The Grammy Award for Best Música Urbana Album is an honor presented to recording artists for quality vocal or instrumental Latin urban albums at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards. Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the Recording Academy of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position". Bad Bunny was the inaugural winner of this category thanks to his 2020 album El Último Tour Del Mundo.

## History

The award for Best Música Urbana Album, reserved for Latin performers exhibiting "Latin urban styles", was first presented at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards in April 2022. The award category is an addition to the Latin Music field, which also includes Best Regional Mexican Music Album (including Tejano), Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album, Best Tropical Latin Album, and Best Latin Pop Album.

# Museums of the Bethel Historical Society

The Museums of the Bethel Historical Society is a regional historical society and historical museum located in Bethel, Maine. The museum occupies two buildings in Bethel's Broad Street Historic District, the 1821 O'Neil Robinson House and the 1813 Dr. Moses Mason House. The museum focuses on preserving and interpreting the history of western Maine and the White Mountain region of Maine and New Hampshire.

## History

The society was founded as the Bethel Historical Society on May 31, 1966 at a meeting at the Bethel Library Association. Eighteen individuals gathered for that first meeting, including Eva Bean, the author of East Bethel Road, who became the secretary and is considered by the society to be its founder. One of the earliest presidents of the society was Margaret Joy Tibbetts, the United States Ambassador to Norway from 1964 to 1969. Early financial support for the society was provided by the William Bingham II Trust for Charity, which funded the restoration of the Dr. Moses Mason House and awarded it to the society in 1974. With support from the Bingham Trustees and others, the society was able to hire its first paid staff member, curator Dr. Stanley R. Howe Phd. Continued support over the years have enabled the society's gradual transition from a small, single-town historical society to a regionally-focused history museum.

## Collections

As a regional historical museum, the Museums of the Bethel Historical Society collect for the broader Bethel area, including all of western Maine and the White Mountain region of Maine and New Hampshire. In addition to the museum's artifact collections, the society maintains a research library collection featuring books, pamphlets, diaries, letters, photographs, maps, atlases, gazetteers, scrapbooks, periodicals, audio/video recordings, microforms, and ephemera. Since 2014, the Society has also been responsible for the preservation and care of the archives of nearby Gould Academy. A large grant received in 2015 allowed the society to undertake a major expansion to its research library and collection storage space, and in the same year the society hired its first librarian and archivist.

## Programs and exhibitions

The museum hosts a wide variety of programs for all ages and interests. Past exhibitions have documented the life of Molly Ockett, a local Native American woman; the history of the Grange in Maine; and Maine's skiing heritage. The museum frequently features exhibitions of White Mountain art, which have included works by prominent masters of the school including Benjamin Champney, Aaron Draper Shattuck, and others, as well as the works of contemporary artists. Among the most popular programs is the annual community picnic and concert, a free concert by the Portland Brass quartet held outside on the society's lawn every Fourth of July.

# Butterfly theorem

The butterfly theorem is a classical result in Euclidean geometry, which can be stated as follows:$^{:p.78}$
Let M be the midpoint of a chord PQ of a circle, through which two other chords AB and CD are drawn; AD and BC intersect chord PQ at X and Y correspondingly. Then M is the midpoint of XY.

## Proof

A formal proof of the theorem is as follows: Let the perpendiculars XX′ and XX″ be dropped from the point X on the straight lines AM and DM respectively. Similarly, let YY′ and YY″ be dropped from the point Y perpendicular to the straight lines BM and CM respectively.
Since
       $\triangle MXX'\sim \triangle MYY',$
    ${MX \over MY}={XX' \over YY'},$
       $\triangle MXX''\sim \triangle MYY'',$
    ${MX \over MY}={XX'' \over YY''},$
       $\triangle AXX'\sim \triangle CYY'',$
    ${XX' \over YY''}={AX \over CY},$
       $\triangle DXX''\sim \triangle BYY',$
    ${XX'' \over YY'}={DX \over BY}.$
From the preceding equations and the intersecting chords theorem, it can be seen that
    $\left({MX \over MY}\right)^{2}={XX' \over YY'}{XX'' \over YY''},$
    $={AX\cdot DX \over CY\cdot BY},$
    $={PX\cdot QX \over PY\cdot QY},$
    $={(PM-XM)\cdot (MQ+XM) \over (PM+MY)\cdot (QM-MY)},$
    $={(PM)^{2}-(MX)^{2} \over (PM)^{2}-(MY)^{2}},$
since PM = MQ.
So,
    ${(MX)^{2} \over (MY)^{2}}={(PM)^{2}-(MX)^{2} \over (PM)^{2}-(MY)^{2}}.$
Cross-multiplying in the latter equation,
    ${(MX)^{2}\cdot (PM)^{2}-(MX)^{2}\cdot (MY)^{2}}={(MY)^{2}\cdot (PM)^{2}-(MX)^{2}\cdot (MY)^{2}}.$
Cancelling the common term
    ${-(MX)^{2}\cdot (MY)^{2}}$
from both sides of the equation yields
    ${(MX)^{2}\cdot (PM)^{2}}={(MY)^{2}\cdot (PM)^{2}},$
hence MX = MY, since MX, MY, and PM are all positive, real numbers.
Thus, M is the midpoint of XY.
Other proofs exist, including one using projective geometry.

## History

Proving the butterfly theorem was posed as a problem by William Wallace in The Gentleman's Mathematical Companion (1803). Three solutions were published in 1804, and in 1805 Sir William Herschel posed the question again in a letter to Wallace. Reverend Thomas Scurr asked the same question again in 1814 in the Gentleman's Diary or Mathematical Repository.
