Morelia amethistina (also known as the amethystine python, scrub python or sanca permata) is a form of non-venomous python.
It can be found in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia.
The diet of the Amethystine python is mostly birds, bats, rats, possums, and other small mammals.
Some big Australian and Papuan varieties eat wallabies and cuscus.

The Casimir effect (predicted by Hendrik Casimir in 1948) is the attraction of two metal plates in a vacuum.
This effect occurs because of a side effect of the quantum uncertainty principle, where 'virtual' particles cause the plates to be slightly pushed towards each other.
Relationship to quantum uncertainty principle
The quantum uncertainty principle says that particles, fields, etc.
have two values, and that the more accurately you measure one, the less accurately you can measure the other.
Since 'empty' space (which is a field) would be completely empty, then we would know both the field's magnitude (which is zero) and its rate of change (also zero).
Therefore, there must be tiny fluctuations in 'empty' space, so that the uncertainty principle isn't violated.
These take the form of virtual particles, which we wouldn't be able to detect directly.
However, we can see the effects they have on real particles.
Some of these particles are virtual photons, which can also be considered as waves.
Now, between the reflective metal plates, there is a certain distance.
Certain virtual photons, specifically ones where the distance divided by the wavelength is a whole number, are the only ones that can fit in here; if it isn't a whole number, eventually the peaks and troughs of the waves will coincide, and cancel it out.
Negative spacetime
Since there are fewer virtual particles on the inside of the plates rather than the outside, there is a greater force on the outside of the plates.
This causes the plates to be pushed inwards.
Now, the energy density of the universe is zero.
This is because every particle has positive energy, but it also has gravity, which balances it out with negative gravitational energy.
Since there are fewer virtual particles within the plates, that means that the energy density of the spacetime between the plates must be less than the energy density of spacetime outside the plates.
However, since the energy density of the spacetime outside the plates is zero, that means that the energy density of the spacetime between the plates is less than zero, or negative.
Negative spacetime has odd properties, such as being saddle-shaped and allowing travel into the past.

The ancient legend of Orpheus and Eurydice concerns the fateful love of Orpheus of Thrace, son of Apollo and the muse Calliope, for the beautiful Eurydice (from Eurudike, "she whose justice extends widely").
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), is an analysis tool widely used in materials sciences, thermochemistry, drug purity  and food quality testing.
Its speed and ease of operation give instant information about the thermodynamic characteristics that play an important role in understanding complex processes during the formation of substances; for instance, polymer cross-linking, heat exchange due to folding and unfolding of proteins or formation mechanism of single or double stranded DNA.
The DSC was firstly invented in 1962 by E.S. Watson and M.J. O’Neil and made available to the market in 1963 at the Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy conference held in Pittsburgh.
The two most common types of differential scanning calorimeter, are heat flux DSC, which operates by keeping the heat supply to the system as constant and power-compensated DSC, which works by maintaining the power supplied to the calorimeter as constant.
In general, a DSC calculates heat changes by measuring the temperature difference between the sample and reference holder.
The typical design of the heat flux DSC can be seen from  Figure 1.
It contains the sample holder, where the material of interest is placed, and the reference holder, which is generally kept empty.
Both of these are placed on a support, which is in good contact with the walls of calorimeter.
The heating resistor is attached to the boundary walls that enables one to obtain a furnace generating and keeping the required heat amount inside the enclosure.
The thermocouple connected to both sample and reference holder is a measuring device that gives the temperature to be used in the analysis.
Heat supplied by the heating resistor flows further into the sample and the reference materials chambers.
The simplest theoretical approach to understand the working mechanism of DSC’s is called the simplified linear model and makes use of the following assumptions:
The heat flow rate is constant,
No interaction between the sample and reference,
Only heat capacities of sample and reference are considered,
The temperature being measured to be the current temperature of sample,
The system is isolated from surrounding, that is no heat exchange with outside.
The Fourier’s law of heat conduction, which is the fundamental law explaining how the heat is transferred through materials can be used to see the relationship between the temperature and the heat flow in the system.
This law states that the amount of heat energy passing through a small portion of an area (A) of a material, which is called heat flux density and denoted by  is equivalent to thermal conductivity (k) multiplied by the change in the temperature with respect to position, which can be denoted as  .
This relationship in an equation form can be written as,
Generally, in DSC a computer is used to supply heat at specific rate into both the reference and sample holders.
When the sample holder contains a substance while the reference kept empty leads to either increase or decrease in temperature of sample holder denoted by   depending on the following processes:
If the process is heat-consuming, that is external heat is needed for the event to take place, which is also called endothermic then the temperature in the sample holder decreases.
If the process is heat-releasing, that is extra heat is produced, which is also called exothermic then the temperature in the sample holder increases.
Hence, based on this simple model it turns out that there is a direct proportionality(K) between the heat flow and the temperature variations of the sample.
This proportionality constant is dependent on the distance from the wall to the sample shown as (Δx), the cross section area of the support (A) and the thermal conductivity (k).
Generally, the main results of the DSC experiment is an output signal of heat flow rate as a function of temperature, which are called DSC curves .
Analysis of these curves plays an important role in determination of heat of transformation, heat of reactions or any changes in heat capacity due to temperature variations, for instance, the enthalpy of exothermic and endothermic processes can be determined by finding the area under the DSC curve using a mathematical technique called integral calculus.
Thermal denaturation of proteins
One of the most important applications of DCS is related to the thermal unfolding of the proteins, a process called denaturation.
The DCS’s role in this process is used to determine the temperature range over which proteins exhibit structural changes.
In addition to that, when the protein solution is treated under constant heat rate and constant pressure, DSC can determine apparent heat capacities of the proteins.
In fact, the denatured proteins turn out to have higher heat capacities and proper detection of changes on them over time can help to find out the extent of unfolding.
Evaluation of lipids and fats
Food quality control is one of the most important issues for human health care and well-being.
There has been reported many unlawful practices with regard to food products, specifically adulteration of some highly priced vegetable oils and fats.
Adulteration is an action of mixing low quality and sometimes harmful ingredients with food products intended to be sold.
In this field, DSC is used to analyze the thermal behaviour of lipids mainly by two processes, the cooling process, which reports information about the crystallisation and the heating process, which gives information on the melting behaviour of the building blocks of lipids.
The adulteration in fats or oils changes the DSC cooling and heating curves.
For example, new peaks appear and existing peaks undergo changes.
Hence, analysis of DSC data can be used in estimation of adulteration process on nutrients.
Drug purity
DSC has gained quite a lot interest in drug purity investigation because it requires samples with low quantity (1–2 mg) and is considerably fast in terms of analysis time.
For instance, by monitoring the effects of foreign substances, it can be found to what extent a drug is pure.
It turns out that impurities decrease the melting temperature  of the drug.
In addition, melting temperature can also be used to estimate the thermal stability of drugs, because the higher the  the more stable is the protein.
Therefore, DSC allows instant monitoring of this temperature leading to much easier and faster way of controlling the drug quality.

Dina Ali Lasloom (; born 29 March 1993) is a Saudi Arabian teacher who was kidnapped in the Philippines.
On April 11, 2017, she was traveling from Kuwait to Australia to ask for political asylum.
She was stopped in Manila airport.
She made a video with a cellphone.
IN the video, she said they took her passport and papers.
She said that her family would kill her.
She wanted to escape a forced marriage.
Dina borrowed a phone from a Canadian woman to make the video.
In the video, Dina said she was locked up for 13 hours.
Then two men came to the airport.
Dina said they were her uncles.
An airport security officer saw three men take Dina.
They put duct tape on her hands, feet, and mouth.
Then they put her in a wheelchair.
THey took her on a Saudia Airlines flight to Riyadh.
Other passengers said they heard her scream for help in the airplane.
The video went viral in Saudi Arabia.
People used the hashtag #SaveDinaAli.
Protesters were waiting for Dina at the Riyadh airport.
One Saudi woman, Alaa Anazi, was arrested at the airport.
Some women’s rights advocates in Saudi Arabia say Dina was taken to a women’s shelter.
Others said Alla Anazi was taken to the shelter.
Dina did not get off the airplane with the other passengers.
The heat of combustion, also called calorific value or energy value of a substance is the amount of energy that is released when burning a given amount of the substance.
This energy is released in the form of heat, when the substance is burned in standard conditions.
Heat of combustion (ΔH°c) is the measure of the amount of energy released in the form of heat (q) when one mole of a substance is burned (combustion).
The production of heat means the reaction is an exothermic process and gives off energy.
Heat of combustion is a specialized form of reaction enthalpy because it is measured at  standard conditions and is limited to one mole starting material.
The (°) symbol shows that the heat of combustion value is obtained at standard conditions: 25 degrees Celsius (298.15 Kelvin) and at a constant pressure.
The pressure is reported both at either one bar or at one atmosphere depending on the source.
Heat of combustion is also called the enthalpy of combustion because the energy evolved from the combustion reaction results from the change in the overall enthalpy of the starting substance as it reacts completely with oxygen.
The terms heat of combustion and enthalpy of combustion are used interchangeably due to the First law of thermodynamics and the relationships between heat at constant pressure (qP), the change in internal energy (ΔU), and the change in enthalpy (ΔH).
ΔU = qP - PΔV.
qP = ΔU + PΔV.
ΔH = ΔU + PΔV + VΔP.
The term VΔP cancels because there is no change in pressure so
ΔH = ΔU + PΔV.
Therefore, qP = ΔH.
Heat of combustion measurements are most common for the combustion of organic hydrocarbons, compounds composed of carbon and hydrogen, but can include other atoms found in organic compounds such as nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur and especially oxygen.
Heat of combustion values are most widely used for determining if a substance is an effective fuel source.
Many organic compounds can be found in Heat of Combustion Tables
The units for heat of combustion can be varied, but are always reported as a unit of energy per mole or per unit of mass or volume depending on the method used to report the values.
To evaluate the efficiency of a substance as a fuel, energy per unit of mass or volume is more convenient.
As with all combustions and many oxidation reactions, oxygen must be present in order for the substance to combust.
Combustion reactions are carried out with oxygen at constant pressure in a calorimeter.
A representative combustion reaction is that of methane (CH4) in the presence of oxygen
CH4(g) + O2(g) → CO2 + H2O(l)
The products of a combustion reaction are water and carbon dioxide gas as long as the reactants are oxygen and hydrocarbons.
The water product can be in the form of gas or liquid depending on the temperature post-combustion.
A true heat of combustion determination has liquid water at the end of the reaction due to the fact that the experiment is returned to the standard temperature of 25°C at which water condenses into liquid.

In baseball, a grand slam is a home run hit with runners on first, second, and third base ("bases loaded").
This scores four runs and is the most possible in one play.
According to The Dickson Baseball Dictionary, the term came from the card game of contract bridge.
A grand slam in contract bridge involves taking all the possible tricks.
The word slam, by itself, can mean a loud sound, such as a door being closed with a lot of force.
Slamming the door on one's opponent(s), is similar to the bat slamming the ball into a home run.
