Coumatetralyl

Coumatetralyl is an anticoagulant of the 4-hydroxycoumarin vitamin K antagonist type used as a rodenticide.

Common applications
Coumatetralyl is commonly used with grains and other cereals as a rodent poison in conjunction with a tracking powder to monitor feeding activity in a particular area. Tracking powder also clings to fur, which allows more poison to be ingested from grooming. Concentrations of the chemical are usually 500 mg per 1 kg of bait.

Toxicity to humans
Symptoms of overexposure relate to failure of the blood clotting mechanism and include bleeding gums and failure of blood clotting after skin wounds. After one exposure the toxicity of coumatetralyl is relatively low; however, if overexposure continues for several days the product becomes more toxic. The product must therefore be constantly present in the bloodstream for more than one to two days in order to be highly toxic. A single exposure, even though relatively large, may not produce toxic symptoms as the compound is quite rapidly metabolized.

Chronic animal studies show no evidence of carcinogenic or teratogenic effects.

Treatment
Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is antidotal.

Billions and Billions

Billions and Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium is a 1997 book by the American astronomer and science popularizer Carl Sagan. The last book written by Sagan before his death in 1996, it was published by Random House.

Overview
The book is a collection of essays Sagan wrote covering diverse topics such as global warming, the population explosion, extraterrestrial life, morality, and the abortion debate. The last chapter is an account of his struggle with myelodysplasia, the disease which finally took his life in December 1996. Sagan's wife, Ann Druyan, wrote the epilogue of the book after his death.

"Billions and billions"
To help viewers of Cosmos distinguish between "millions" and "billions", Sagan stressed the "b". The public's association of Sagan with the phrase "billions and billions" came from a Tonight Show skit. Parodying Sagan's affect, Johnny Carson quipped "billions and billions". The phrase has, however, now become a humorous fictitious unit—the sagan. Aside from using the catchphrase as the title of the book, Sagan's introduction also discusses it.

Tancred, Prince of Bari

Tancred of Hauteville (born  1119, died 16 March between 1138 and 1140), the second son of King Roger II of Sicily and his first wife, Elvira of Castile, was the Prince of Bari and Taranto from 1132 to 1138.

He was named by his father to replace the rebellious Grimoald, Prince of Bari, in 1132. He was only about thirteen or fourteen years old at the time. When he grew to adulthood, he became, along with his brothers Roger, duke of Apulia, and Alfonso, prince of Capua, one of his father's chief men on the peninsula, while the king himself remained mostly in Sicily.

Tancred died young between 1138 and 1140. William, his other brother, inherited his estates and titles. An elegy for an unnamed "son of Roger the Frank, lord of Sicily" by the Sicilian poet Abū l-Ḍawʾ was likely about Tancred, since the son in question was a young man who had only just begun his martial career. It was possibly about his brother Alfonso.

The Arizona Daily Sun is a three day newspaper in Flagstaff, Arizona, United States. It is published on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. It publishes an entertainment supplement on Thursdays called "Flagstaff Live!". It also publishes a monthly magazine, Northern Arizona's Mountain Living Magazine.

History
Artemis E. Fay published the first issue of the weekly Peach Springs, Arizona Champion on September 15, 1883. On February 2, 1884, he relocated the paper to Flagstaff. In May 1891, the paper was renamed to The Coconino Sun. On August 5, 1946, the paper was again renamed to the current Arizona Daily Sun.

Napa Valley Register

The Napa Valley Register is a daily newspaper located in Napa, California.

History 
The paper began publication on August 10, 1863. By 1864, the newspaper had dropped “Valley” from its name, becoming simply the Napa Register, until returning to the original name over a century later. Covering a community more known for its wheat crop than wine grapes, the early Register would be unrecognizable to modern readers. A forum for gossip, tall-tales, opinion, moral instruction, aphorisms, propaganda, entertainment and, sporadically, hard news, the Register was one of the top two newspapers of early Napa.

The Register moved to daily publication in 1872 and George M. Francis became sole owner of the Register in 1878, upon the death of his business partner. Francis was succeeded in ownership by his son George H. Francis in 1932.

The paper remained with Francis and various partners until 1958, when it was sold to Scripps League Newspapers, a small family chain.

Scripps was acquired by Pulitzer in 1996, and Pulitzer was acquired by Lee Enterprises in 2005.

The paper's editor as of 2022 is Dan Evans.  The Napa Valley Register is published by Napa Valley Publishing, which also publishes the St. Helena Star, The Weekly Calistogan, and American Canyon Eagle, and operates the website Inside Napa Valley. Evans unveiled a newly reconstituted editorial board in October 2022. The board is made up of three members of the newspaper's staff and seven community members. It will assist in driving the official opinion of the paper. 

In April 2023, the paper laid off two employees.

Starting July 18, 2023, the print edition of the newspaper will be reduced to three days a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Also, the newspaper will transition from being delivered by a traditional newspaper delivery carrier to mail delivery by the U.S. Postal Service.

Vitamin E deficiency

Vitamin E deficiency in humans is a very rare condition, occurring as a consequence of abnormalities in dietary fat absorption or metabolism rather than from a diet low in vitamin E. Collectively the EARs, RDAs, AIs and ULs for vitamin E and other essential nutrients are referred to as Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). Vitamin E deficiency can cause nerve problems due to poor conduction of electrical impulses along nerves due to changes in nerve membrane structure and function.

Signs and symptoms
Signs of vitamin E deficiency include the following:
 Neuromuscular problems – such as spinocerebellar ataxia and myopathies.
 Neurological problems – may include dysarthria, absence of deep tendon reflexes, loss of the ability to sense vibration and detect where body parts are in three dimensional space, and positive Babinski sign.
 Hemolytic anemia – due to oxidative damage to red blood cells
 Retinopathy
 Impairment of the immune response

Causes
Vitamin E deficiency is rare. There are no records of it from simple lack of vitamin E in a person's diet, but it can arise from physiological abnormalities. It occurs in the people in the following situations:
 Premature, very low birth weight infants – birth weights less than 1500 grams (3.3 pounds).
 Rare disorders of fat metabolism – There is a rare genetic condition termed isolated vitamin E deficiency or 'ataxia with isolated with vitamin E deficiency', caused by mutations in the gene for the tocopherol transfer protein. These individuals have an extremely poor capacity to absorb vitamin E and develop neurological complications that are reversed by high doses of vitamin E.
 Fat malabsorption – Some dietary fat is needed for the absorption of vitamin E from the gastrointestinal tract. Anyone diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, individuals who have had part or all of their stomach removed or who have had a gastric bypass, and individuals with malabsorptive problems such as Crohn's disease, liver disease or exocrine pancreatic insufficiency may not absorb fat (people who cannot absorb fat often pass greasy stools or have chronic diarrhea and bloating). Abetalipoproteinemia is a rare inherited disorder of fat metabolism that results in poor absorption of dietary fat and vitamin E. The vitamin E deficiency associated with this disease causes problems such as poor transmission of nerve impulses and muscle weakness.

Diagnosis
The U.S. Institute of Medicine defines deficiency as a serum concentration of less than 12 μmol/L. The symptoms can be enough for a diagnosis to be formed.

Treatment
Treatment is oral vitamin E supplementation.

Klynveld Kraayenhof & Co.

Klynveld Kraayenhof & Co. (KKC) was a Dutch accountancy firm founded in 1917 by Piet Klijnveld and Jaap Kraayenhof, who was one of Klynveld's former employees at another firm. The firm specialized in banking and exporting and kept its independence by serving Dutch clients who were expanding throughout Europe and South America.  In 1979, KKC merged with Deutsche Treuhand-Gesellschaft (DTG) and McLintock Main Lafrentz to form Klynveld Main Goerdeler (KMG).  In 1987 KMG joined forces with Peat Marwick International (PMI) in the first mega-merger of large accounting firms and formed what is now known today as KPMG LLP.

Assam Himalaya

Assam Himalaya is a traditional designation for the portion of the Himalaya range between the eastern border of Bhutan, on the west, and the Great Bend of the Tsangpo River, on the east. The highest peak of this range is Namcha Barwa. Other high peaks include Gyala Peri, sister peak to Namcha Barwa; Kangto, and Nyegyi Kansang. The area is still poorly surveyed in general, and little visited by outsiders.
It is located in the eastern side.
The name "Assam Himalaya" is misleading, as some parts of this range are in southeastern Tibet, while other parts are in Bhutan and the Indian regions and states of northern Assam, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh.

Running for about  in a general east–west direction, connecting rural portions of Shelby, Rush, and Franklin counties. SR 244 was originally introduced in 1932 routed between SR 29 and U.S. Route 52. The road was paved in the late 1960s

Route description
SR 244 begins at an intersection with Michigan Road, formerly U.S. Route 421 (US 421), southeast of Shelbyville. The road heads east having an interchange with Interstate 74/US 421 at Exit 119 in Shelby County.  It proceeds east entering Rush County and passing through an intersection with SR 3. East of SR 3, SR 244 enters the census-designated place of Milroy, Indiana. While in Milroy SR 244 is also known as Main Street. The highway continues east passing through rural Rush County, before entering Franklin County. Soon after entering Franklin County SR 244 enters the community of Andersonville. On the east side of Andersonville SR 244 ends at a three-way intersection with US 52.

In 2015 the highest traffic count is at the just east of SR 3, where 2,757 vehicles travel the highway on average each day. The lowest traffic count is east of Milroy, where 782 vehicles travel the highway on average each day.

History
SR 244 was first designated in 1931. The original routing started at SR 29, now Michigan Road, and ran east through rural Shelby and Rush Counties to US 52 much as it does today. The highway had an interchange with I-74 added between 1960 and 1961. SR 244 served as a temporary eastern end of I-74 between 1960 and 1962.

Indiana State Road 249

State Road 249 (SR 249) is a part of the Indiana State Road that runs between Portage and Burns Harbor in the US state of Indiana.  The  of SR 249 that lie within Indiana serve as an access to the Port of Indiana. None of the highway is listed on the National Highway System. Most of the road is an urban four-lane divided highway, passing through farmland, residential and industrial properties.

Route description 
SR  249 heads north from the southern terminus at a traffic light with US 20.  The highway is a four-lane divided highway, passing through commercial areas.  The road has an interchange with I-94,  north of US 20.  After I–94, the route passes through residential properties and takes a sharp turn heading due east.  During the curve, highway has a traffic light at Midwest Steel Access Road, with access to US 12. The road passes through farmland with a few industrial properties and begins to curves northeast.  During the curve is an interchange with US 12.  North of US 12 the road continues with SR 249, as George Nelson Drive and is only for traffic to and from the Port of Indiana.  After George Nelson Drive passes over a set of railroad tracks is a permission gate.

No segment of State Road 249 in Indiana that is included in the National Highway System (NHS).  The NHS is a network of highways that are identified as being most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the nation.  The highway is maintained by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) like all other state roads in the state. The department tracks the traffic volumes along all state roads as a part of its maintenance responsibilities using a metric called average annual daily traffic (AADT). This measurement is a calculation of the traffic level along a segment of roadway for any average day of the year. In 2010, INDOT figured that lowest traffic levels were 10,366 vehicles and 398 commercial vehicles used the highway daily north of Midwest Steel Highway. The peak traffic volumes were 21,253 vehicles and 817 commercial vehicles AADT along the section of SR 249 between US 20 and I–94.

History 
In the 1930s the western section of SR 252 was to end at SR 29, now U.S. Route 421, but the section from I-65 to SR 29 was never built. The western section ended at Flat Rock until a new part of the road was built to SR 9 in the winter of 2005-2006. Originally SR 252 went along Hospital Road and through what is now Camp Atterbury and Atterbury Fish and Wildlife Area. It was moved north to its current location after Camp Atterbury was built. As of January 19, 2020, SR 252 no longer heads east towards SR 9, per INDOT.

Indiana State Road 262

State Road 262 (SR 262) is a state road in the south-eastern section of the state of Indiana. Running for roughly  in a general northwest-southeast direction, it connects the towns of Dillsboro and Rising Sun. SR 262 was originally introduced in the early-1930s routed between along its modern routing. The road was paved in the mid to late 1960s. The road serves as the eastern terminus of its primary route, Indiana 62 just east of Dillsboro.

Route description

SR 262 begins at US 50 near Dillsboro in Dearborn County.  Going south, it crosses SR 62 after only a few hundred feet, then runs southeast.  After a few miles, it descends into the Laughery Creek Valley, crossing the creek into Ohio County. After turning eastward and passing through the unincorporated community of Milton, it ascends out of the valley. Both the approach and departure of the valley are fairly hazardous, with sharp curves and steep dropoffs. At about 7 miles, it reaches the top of the ridge, where the road straightens out for a distance of a mile. The western end of this stretch is marked by a four-way intersection in the unincorporated community of Pate, with Hartford Pike headed north, while Cass-Union Road heading south to SR 56 in Aberdeen. SR 262 then passes through a four-way stop in Cofield Corner with Salem Ridge Road headed north east, and Palmer Road headed south. The road then descends into the Arnold Creek Valley, which is also a curvy stretch of road, but lacks the steep dropoffs of the Laughery Creek section.  The road enters the town of Rising Sun following Main Street, passing through a residential area of town. SR 262 terminates at an intersection between Main Street and High Street (SR 56) in the town. SR 56 turns onto Main Street for one block, before turning south and continuing towards Vevay and Madison. Indiana Department of Transportation surveys in 2015 showed that the highest traffic levels along SR 262 were the 3,352 vehicles daily in the Rising Sun; the lowest count was 514 vehicles per day in the area of Hartford Pike.

History 
The Indiana State Highway Commission designated SR 262 in 1932. The original routing started at US 50 in Dillsboro and ran southeast to SR 56 in Rising Sun much as it does today. The entire route of SR 262 was paved between 1966 and 1967. The last major change to SR 262 happen between 1969 and 1970 and it was a short addition north to the new four-lane US 50 in Dillsboro. The routing has remained unchanged since

Superachromat

The superachromat or superachromatic lens was first conceived and developed by Maximilian Herzberger as the ultimate well-corrected lens. The color shift curve of a superachromat is a quartic, meaning that in theory four separate colors can be brought to focus in the same plane, while simultaneously correcting spherical aberration and field aberrations. This near-perfect correction of chromatic aberration is highly beneficial in film and digital multi-spectral photography, as a superachromat can focus near-infrared energy in the 0.7 to 1.0 micrometer wavelength band in the same focal plane as visible light, eliminating the need for refocusing.  Unfortunately, due to the limited selection of optical glasses and partial dispersion properties, superachromats must be manufactured with costly fluorite glasses and to very tight tolerances.

Langesundsfjord

Langesundsfjord (), also known as the Breviksfjord (), is a stretch of fjord in Telemark county, Norway. The  long fjord flows from the Skagerrak, between the islands of Sandøya, Bjørkøya, and Siktesøya in Porsgrunn Municipality and the mainland of Bamble Municipality.

Location
The fjord stretches from the Langesund strait near the town of Brevik, where it separates into the Frierfjord and the Eidangerfjord. In the medieval period, the fjord was named Grenmar, after the grener people who lived here and mar which was Old Norse for sea. Later, well into the 1700s, the entire stretch from Langesund gap and up to Skien was referred to as Langesundsfjord.

The Brevik Bridge is a bridge over the mouth of the Frierfjord that connects the municipalities of Bamble and Porsgrunn. On the west side of Bamble lies the town of Stathelle. On the east side lies the town of Brevik in Porsgrunn. The Brevik tunnel (Brevikstunnelen) on Highway 354 (old E18) goes through the hill in Brevik and connects the Brevik bridge with the rest of the way north.

Geology
The Langesundsfjord is especially noted for the discovery of fluorescent minerals. Many of the minerals found here are relatively rare. Commercial quarrying for decorative stone started in the late 1880s. In 1881, Diderik Cappelen (1856-1935), first found Cappelenite in Langesundsfjorden. Cappelenite, which he discovered in small veins within Nepheline syenite pegmatite, is a rare yttrium-barium  borosilicate. It is found in the form of greenish-brown hexagonal crystals.

Nu Flavor

Nu Flavor is an R&B quartet from Long Beach, California consisting of Jacob Ceniceros (baritone), Anthony DaCosta (tenor), Rigo Luna (alto), and Frank Pangelinan, Jr. (tenor/lead).

History
Nu Flavor formed in 1994. Under their manager's direction, they created a cover of the Journey hit "Open Arms", and eventually the recording found its way to Reprise Records president Howie Klein. After singing a cappella in his office, he signed the group on the spot. Shortly thereafter, Los Angeles KIBB radio night guy, Rick Hummer, was given the group's "Open Arms" demo and began spinning it during his dedication show. The group started calling into KIBB's "Afterhours with Chaka Khan and Rick Hummer" and sang for them, who immediately invited the group into the station for their first on-air performance and interview. This gave them a solid launching pad and fan base in Los Angeles.

The group's first album, Nu Flavor, debuted in 1997, launching two gold-certified singles: "Heaven", their biggest hit, peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 and "Sweet Sexy Thing", at No. 62. Their second album It's On! appeared two years later, which yielded the hit singles "Sprung", "3 Little Words" and "Most Beautiful Girl". The single "Baby Be There" from Nu Flavor was released in 1999 and peaked at No. 83 on the Hot 100.

The group has toured and performed numerous shows in places such as Amarillo and Amigoland Mall, Texas, and also held a free concert at Ypao Beach, Guam.
 
Pangelinan, a former native of Guam, said he had always wanted to go back home; he finally did in October 2001. His father, Frank Pangelinan, Sr., is also a well known recording artist in Guam.

In January 2000, Nu Flavor appeared in the 14th episode of Season 10 of the teen drama Beverly Hills, 90210, "I'm Using You 'Cause I Like You".

Three Miss Kentucky USA titleholders have also held the Miss Kentucky Teen USA title and competed at Miss Teen USA, including Conner. Two Miss Kentucky USA titleholders have also competed at Miss America, with one representing Wyoming.

Lizzy Neutz of Louisville was crowned Miss Kentucky USA 2022 on March 26, 2022, at The Center for Rural Development in Somerset. She represented Kentucky for the title of Miss USA 2022.

Media coverage
In 2006, it was reported that Miss Kentucky USA 2002, Elizabeth Arnold was in a relationship with celebrity Nick Lachey.  That same year Tara Conner became the first Kentucky delegate to win the Miss USA title, putting Kentucky in the top five for the second consecutive year, after Kristen Johnson placed 2nd runner-up in 2005.  She later came under intense scrutiny when it was revealed that she had been drinking underage, tested positive for the use of cocaine, and kissed Miss Teen USA Katie Blair, among other things.  Conner was allowed to keep her title, but was ordered into rehab for one month.  After her rehab session, she resumed her reign until her year was completed.

In 2008, Miss Kentucky USA Alysha Harris was involved in an incident involving photos in which she was photographed dancing with New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss in a manner some saw as sexually suggestive.
