Dimethyl dicarbonate (DMDC) is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor at high concentration at room temperature. It is primarily used as a beverage preservative, processing aid, or sterilant (INS No. 242) being highly active against typical beverage spoiling microorganisms like yeast, bacteria, or mould.
In Norse mythology, Móði (Old Norse: [ˈmoːðe]; anglicized Módi or Mothi) and Magni ([ˈmɑɣne]) are the sons of Thor. Their names translate as "Wrath" and "Strength", respectively. Rudolf Simek states that, along with Thor's daughter Þrúðr ("Power"), they embody their father's features.
Móði and Magni's children from Thor is attested by the kennings "Móði's father" (faðir Móða, in Hymiskviða, 34) and "Magni's father" (faðir Magna, in Þórsdrápa and Hárbarðsljóð, 53). Snorri Sturluson confirms it (Gylfaginning, 53, Skáldskaparmál, 4). According to Skáldskaparmál (17) Magni is the son of Thor and the jötunn Járnsaxa and Móði is the son of Thor and an unnamed female jötunn (possibly Járnsaxa).

Elizabeth (Eliza) Rachel Jean Stack (née Jones; 19 February 1829 – 2 December 1919) was a New Zealand settler, author and botanist.
Stack was born in Anglesey, Wales in 1829. She was the daughter of Humphrey Jones, the Controller of Customs at Holyhead. The youngest of nine, Stack was fourteen when she was orphaned, and went to live with relatives, variously in Edinburgh, Stockwell, and Barnstable. In 1856 Stack's brother Humphrey Jones, an Assistant Commissary-General, returned to England from the Crimean War. He was then ordered to New Zealand, and having recently been widowed, invited his sister to join him.
Jones and Stack travelled with a maid to New Zealand in 1857 aboard the Dinapore, a journey Stack describes as "long and tedious and not marked by any striking incidents". Stack enjoyed the musical talents of Andrew Buchanan's daughters, which helped to while away the four-month journey.
The Ford Maverick is a four-door, compact pickup truck manufactured and marketed by the Ford Motor Company. Ford unveiled the Maverick on June 8, 2021, as its smallest truck, below the mid-size Ford Ranger.
Using a front-wheel drive-based unibody platform shared with the Ford Escape and Bronco Sport, the pickup's power train offerings include a gasoline hybrid engine or a turbocharged gasoline engine, both available in all-wheel drive (starting with the 2025 model year). The truck is exclusively offered in a 4-door crew cab configuration with a short bed.
The Maverick went on sale in late 2021 for the 2022 model year. The truck saw strong demand from consumers, with Ford unable to fulfill all orders it received for the 2022 model year, and only accepting orders for the 2023 model year for one week. The truck has been successful in attracting new customers, with Ford reporting that nearly 60% of Maverick buyers are new to the brand.
Demand remains strong through mid 2025, with 48,041 trucks sold during the second quarter alone, an increase of 26.3% year over year. In contrast, sales of its primary competitor, the Hyundai Santa Cruz, dropped by 21%.

A heliometer (from Greek ἥλιος 'sun' and 'measure') is an instrument originally developed from the mid-eighteenth to early nineteenth centuries for measuring the variation of the Sun's diameter at different seasons of the year, but the modern version of the instrument is capable of much wider use.
The basic concept is to introduce a split element into a telescope's optical path so as to produce a double image. If one element is moved using a screw micrometer, precise angle measurements can be made. The simplest arrangement is to split the object lens in half, with one half fixed and the other attached to the micrometer screw and slid along the cut diameter. To measure the diameter of the Sun, for example, the micrometer is first adjusted so that the two images of the solar disk coincide (the "zero" position where the split elements form essentially a single element). The micrometer is then adjusted so that diametrically opposite sides of the two images of the solar disk just touch each other. The difference in the two micrometer readings so obtained is the (angular) diameter of the Sun. Similarly, a precise measurement of the apparent separation between two nearby stars, A and B, is made by first superimposing the two images of the stars and then adjusting the double image so that star A in one image coincides with star B in the other. The difference in the two micrometer readings so obtained is the apparent separation or angular distance between the two stars.
The Großer Eyberg is a 513-metre-high (1,683 ft) hill in the southern Palatine Forest in Germany. It lies in the county of Südwestpfalz in the borough of Dahn in an area known as the Dahner Felsenland, a part of the Wasgau. This region which comprises the southern part of the Palatine Forest and the northern part of the Vosges Mountains. It is the highest hill in the western Wasgau.
At the summit of the Eyberg is an 18-metre-high, observation tower, of steel lattice construction, built between 1945 and 1949 by the French Army. The tower can only be accessed over unmetalled hiking trails.
Heeria is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Anacardiaceae. The only species is Heeria argentea.
It is native to the Cape Provinces of South Africa. The genus name of Heeria is in honour of Oswald Heer (1809–1883), a Swiss geologist and naturalist. The Latin specific epithet of argentea refers to silvery.
Fruits of Heeria argentea are dispersed by Micaelamys namaquensis, the Namaqua rock rat, to rock outcrops where the seeds germinate and enjoy relative protection from fire.
Hydroxytyrosol is an organic compound with the formula (HO)2C6H3CH2CH2OH. It is a phenylethanoid, i.e. a relative of phenethyl alcohol. Its derivatives are found in a variety of natural sources, notably olive oils and wines. Hydroxytyrosol is a colorless solid, although samples often turn beige during storage. It is a derivative, formally speaking, of catechol.
