# Trimeresurus macrops

Trimeresurus macrops is a venomous pit viper species endemic to Southeast Asia. No subspecies are currently recognized. Common names include large-eyed pitviper, green pit viper, and Kramer's pit viper.

## Description

It can be distinguished from other green pit vipers by the relatively large size of its eyes, which is especially noticeable in adult specimens, and to which the specific name, macrops, refers.

## Breeding

According to Strine, Green pit vipers mate during the end of the rainy season, between September and October. Female vipers will pull male vipers up the tree and begin mating.

## Geographic range

It is found in Southeast Asia in northern Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and southern Vietnam. The type locality given is "Bangkok, Thailand".

## Venom

T. macrops belongs to the genus Trimeresurus, a group of Asian vipers with primarily hemotoxic venom — a type of venom that can destroy blood cells, disrupt blood clotting, and damage organ function. A bite from this viper's better-studied cousin, the white-lipped pit viper, is said to cause effects ranging from mild envenomation to death. The broader viper family, Viperidae, includes some of the deadliest snakes in the world, responsible for more human fatalities than any other type of snake.

# Fox Next

Fox:Next was a television channel operated by Fox International Channels in Portugal. Its programming was focused on television series and movies, with its core target being viewers of the 25-44 demographic, covering a variety of genres.

## History

The channel was launched in Portugal on April 14, 2008, as part of the MEO package line-up. It was also available on ZON TVCabo, Cabovisão, Vodafone Casa TV and Optimus Clix TV from 2010.
At launch, Fox Next held four exclusive American premieres: Mad Men, 30 Rock, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Big Shots. Primetime slots on the channel were arranged with a series at 9:30pm followed by a movie at 10:15pm. On weeknights, the show and the movie formed a theme night. Mondays were dedicated to drama, Tuesdays to romance, Wednesdays to lust, Thursdays to action and Fridays to comedy. The channel was launched as a MEO exclusive following the launch of Sony Entertainment Television and Animax the week before. Some of the shows on the channel were already broadcast before on other Fox channels or on terrestrial television, such as The O.C., Battlestar Galactica and Everybody Hates Chris. The channel was the eleventh overall launched by Fox International Channels, causing Portugal to become the second country with the most channels from the company in Europe, behind Italy.
For the premiere of the second season of Mad Men, the channel held a two-day (October 13 and 14, 2008) promotional campaign in Lisbon where criars promoted a promotional publication (Mad Men News) depicting topics from the 1960s (decade where the series was set) and the new season. The first season was to be repeated on October 11 and 12.
In October 2009, it was announced that Fox Next was going to start broadcasts on ZON in January 2010. At the time, it was the only Fox channel not on the platform.
On July 1, 2011, coinciding with the first broadcasts of the Fox SD channels in widescreen, the channel was replaced by Fox Movies.

# Separatist (band)

Separatist was a technical death metal band that formed in 2003 in Australia and is now a one-man project.

## History

Separatist began in 2003 in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia as a full band consisting of Sam "Disho" Dishington on vocals, James Brady and Dave Gilbert on guitars, Luke Ranson on bass and Matt Carter on drums. The band released a full-length album in 2008, titled The Motionless Apocalypse. In April 2011, the band split up. Dave Gilbert left the band, and James Brady was later removed, following personal disagreements with Disho. The band subsequently lost what would have been their second album to a computer malfunction and disbanded. Disho left the band and the band broke up shortly afterwards.
In 2014, Disho took up the mantle of Separatist but as a solo project, with him recording all vocals, bass, and guitar and programming all the drums. After Disho took control of the project, he released a double album, under the titles Closure and Motionless. The albums' profits were donated to the A21 Campaign, a campaign to support the war against human trafficking. The songs were all original compositions from their original second album. Disho is currently working on a band called Departe, with a former member of the band, which is now signed to Season of Mist.

# Ravenala

Ravenala is a genus of monocotyledonous flowering plants. Classically, the genus was considered to include a single species, Ravenala madagascariensis from Madagascar.

## Taxonomy

Species of the genus Ravenala are not true palms (family Arecaceae) but members of the family Strelitziaceae. The genus is closely related to the southern African genus Strelitzia and the South American genus Phenakospermum. Some older classifications include these genera in the banana family (Musaceae).

### Etymology

The scientific name Ravenala comes from Malagasy ravinala or ravina ala meaning "forest leaves".

### Species

Although formerly considered to be monotypic, four different forms have been distinguished. Five new species were described in 2021, all from Madagascar. The following species are currently recognised in the genus Ravenala:
* Ravenala agatheae Haev. & Razanats.
* Ravenala blancii Haev., Jeannoda & Hladik
* Ravenala grandis Haev., Razanats., Hladik & P.Blanc
* Ravenala hladikorum Haev., Razanats., Jeannoda & P.Blanc
* Ravenala madagascariensis Sonn.
