An ansible is a kind of fictional device or technology.
Ansibles can communicate faster than light.
It can send and receive messages to and from a corresponding device over any distance or obstacle whatsoever with no delay, even between star systems.
As a name for such a device, the word "ansible" first appeared in a 1966 novel Rocannon's World by Ursula K. Le Guin The word shortened from "answerable."
It allowed users to receive answers to their messages quickly, even over interstellar distances.
In Le Guin's works
The Dispossessed, Le Guin's 1974 novel in the Hainish Cycle, tells about the invention of the ansible.
In The Word for World Is Forest, Le Guin explains for two ansibles to communicate, at least one "must be on a large-mass body" but the other can be anywhere.
In The Left Hand of Darkness, Le Guin wrote that the ansible does not use radio but is similar to gravity.
Any ansible may be used to communicate through any other, by setting its coordinates to those of the receiving ansible.
They have a limited bandwidth which only allows for at most a few hundred characters of text to be communicated in any transaction of a dialog session, and are attached to a keyboard and small display to perform text messaging.
Many other writers have ansibles in their fiction.
Neal Asher, in his Polity series of novels including Gridlinked (2001), in which the runcible, named in homage to the ansible, is an interstellar wormhole generator/teleporter

Parks and Recreation is a television sitcom.
It was on TV from April 9, 2009 to February 24, 2015, with a special reunion episode airing on April 30, 2020.
During this time, it showed 126 episodes over seven seasons.
It ran on the channel NBC.
It was created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur.
The show is about a group of people who live in a fictional town called Pawnee in the state of Indiana.
They work in the government of Pawnee, in the Department of Parks and Recreation.
The main character of the show is Leslie Knope.
She is an optimistic person who loves her job and the city of Pawnee.
The actress who plays her is Amy Poehler.
There are many other characters in the show.
They are: Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones), Mark Brendanawicz (Paul Schneider), Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari), Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman), April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza), Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt), Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott), Chris Traeger (Rob Lowe), Jerry Gergich (Jim O'Heir), Donna Meagle (Retta), and Craig Middlebrooks (Billy Eichner).
The series changed as time went on.
The writers wanted to make the show like real life.
To do this, they learned about how governments of cities really worked.
They also talked about current political issues in episodes of the show.
For example, one episode has the government of Pawnee shut down.
This means that there is not enough money for the government to work correctly, so it stops doing everything that is not very important.
The writers put this in the show because of a real government shutdown.
The real shutdown happened because of a financial crisis in 2007-2008, and this was the same time that the episode was being written.
Sometimes, real politicians also acted on the show.
Joe Biden, John McCain, and Michelle Obama were some of the politicians who did this.
The characters in the show also changed.
Some people watched the first season and thought that Leslie Knope was too ditzy—that is, unintelligent and unable to do her job correctly.
So the writers changed the way they showed Leslie.
They wanted viewers to know she really was smart.
During the show, many of the characters have changing romantic relationships and get different jobs.
They changed just like people change in real life.
The first season only had six episodes.
People thought some things about it were good, and some things about it were bad.
Many people thought it was too much like The Office.
Like Parks and Recreation, The Office was another sitcom that Daniels created.
But after the first season, it got positive reviews.
Many people thought it was good, and it won many awards.
It was nominated for an Emmy Award 14 times.
It was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series—Musical or Comedy.
It won a Golden Globe Award for the good job Poehler

The Drosophilidae is a huge, widespread  (cosmopolitan) family of flies, which includes the famous fruit flies.
The family has over 4000 species in 75 genera.
A recent publication lists the species:
There is another unrelated family of flies, the Tephritidae, which includes species also known as "fruit flies".
The best known species of the Drosophilidae is Drosophila melanogaster.
This species and its relatives are often used for studies on  genetics, development, physiology, and behaviour.
D. melanogaster is not so much studied in the field as in the laboratory.
The best-known studies of Drosophila in a natural environment was done by Dobzhansky and colleagues on Drosophila pseudoobscura from the early 1930s to  1970.
Reprints and discussions are in Lewontin et al 2003, and theoretical discussions in Dobzhansky, 1970.
The cells of fruit flies usually do not divide after the imago is hatched.
The fruit fly is mostly composed of post-mitotic cells, has a very short lifespan, and shows gradual ageing.
They live longer in colder weather.
Several genes can be manipulated to extend the lifespan of these insects.

The Steganinae is the smaller of two subfamilies in the fruit fly family Drosophilidae.
The other subfamily is the Drosophilinae.
The Drosophilinae are the largest subfamily in the Drosophilidae.
The other subfamily is the Steganinae.
The genus Drosophila is paraphyletic because several genera (with many species), such as Zaprionus, Scaptomyza and Lordiphosa, are within the genus.
What this means is that they have evolved from more standard Drosophila over time.
This is pretty well supported by the evidence of their genome.
Genus Drosophila could be raised to a supergenus, or the related offshoot genera could be demoted to subgenera.

Sugarcane juice is the liquid extracted from pressed sugarcane.
Especially, in places where sugarcane is grown commercially, it is a popular drink.
Today, most sugarcane comes from Southeast Asia, India, Northern Africa, and Latin America.
In Spanish-speaking countries, sugarcane juice is usually called Guarapo, or guarapa.
In Portugese, it is called garapa.
These names can also refer to palm syrup.
In the United States where processed sugarcane syrup is used as a sweetener in food and beverage manufacturing,  the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers "evaporated cane juice" to be a misleading term for "sugar" on product labels.
The FDA regards "juice" as a liquid derived from fruits or vegetables, so the preferred term is "cane sugar".

On 7 February 2006, Barrow told 7 News that he will resign if the UDP losses the upcoming Municipal elections.
Contreras was at that time one of the two choices who would succeed Barrow as Leader of the UDP, if he were to resign then.
The other choice was Shadow Minister of Police and the Army, Michael Finnegan.
After the UDP won the 2006 municipal election, Barrow kept his promise and remained as UDP Leader.

Public support for Contreras indicated that he was going to win his Constituency with a Landslide victory.
However that all changed on Election Day.
It was found that Contreras had allegedly handed out leases to over four hundred lots on Election Day and this constituted Bribery under the Election laws.

As a result, many of his constituents were able to afford them.
In 2000, he officially opened a Sewing shop in Benque Viejo del Carmen.
Soon the 2003 general election came, and it was time for Contreras to secure another term in Cayo West.
He was endorsed unopposed as Standard-Bareer for the Constituency In 2002.

Approximately at the same time, other rebels formed the Donetsk People's Republic in Donetsk Oblast.
In both parts, there are many ethnic Russians.
There was a claim that Russia helped start these unrecognized states.
The country is loyal to Russia.
Prior 2022, the Luhansk People's Republic was not recognised by any UN member state, until in 2022 when Russia officially recognised the state along with the Donetsk People's Republic.
