New Delhi: Blood-feeding leeches have a suite of anticoagulant compounds they secrete from their salivary glands that prevent clotting. The knowledge about their anticoagulants can possibly be explored further for uses in modern medicine, according to a recent study.
In the study published in the current issue of the Journal of Parasitology, researchers collected leeches from natural and aquarium settings in the United States and Canada. They examined the physical characteristics of each leech to determine their species, dissected its salivary glands, extracted the RNA and sequenced the genomic material. Next, they identified the salivary gland components by comparing their sequences with those of other leeches and various animals.
The researchers identified the collected leeches as nine species from the Piscicolidae and Ozobranchidae families, which are composed of saltwater species that feed on fish and turtles, respectively. Despite the fact that these leeches have different host preferences, no differences were found in the diversity of anticoagulants.
They found that there was on an average 43 anticoagulants in each species and identified several anticoagulants that didn't match any sequences and others that had never before been linked to leeches. For example, they found sequences that matched ohanin, which is a protein found in king cobra venom.
These results suggest that there is a possible connection between anticoagulants in leeches and snake venom and should be explored further, the researchers said.'Our results highlight that looking at individual species is not a great proxy for family-level anticoagulant diversity and that studies need to take a broader look to fully understand what is going on,' said Michael Tessler, one of the authors of the article, adding that sampling many species and comparing sequences to a broad array of organisms could help uncover new information.

Sustained Breating / Strained Soul: A soliloquy on the nature of seclusion and the volatility of existence; seen through the eyes of an abstract myth.
The work intertwines thoughts of death and identity with mythical beings and curious worlds found in Swedish stories and folklore. Featuring throughout the soundwork is an old reed organ that was once used by my great grandparents, dusty and weathered from years of neglect. The organ becomes a new entity by merging itself with the abstract myth risen from ancient times, from a place that lies deep beneath and deep within.
"She is death, the inevitable change, life's impermanence and the end of all things. She is wonderful, and terrifying."
Work commissioned by Miasma & Look Again (Terra Incognita) as part of the Wonderland Festival, Thursday 8 – Sunday 11 September 2022, Aberdeen.

The stories of soil, rotting wood, blood and bone is uncomfortable, it crawls beneath us and within us, oozing out of soil and skin. The subterranean landscape is in this narrative a place of grief, anger, and fear caused by the uncertainties of our era, but it is also a place of comfort and refuge. This piece is a mix of found, recorded, and created noise and ambience, layered and merged into a speculative journey through underground caverns, a narrative set outside time.
Aired on RADIOPHRENIA 2022(radiophrenia.scot), submitted as part of their Open Call.

Q: Flutter extent scroll I have a list of images that I want to distribute into two columns of an avatar circle, with one column taking half of the images and the other column taking the rest of the images.
I put a simple example of code how can I apply that to it? Also how to handle the length of the list?
I don't want to duplicate the images, just divide them while keeping the same UI shape

A: You need to provide childCount half of list length,
childCount: profiles.length ~/ 2 + profiles.length % 2,

While presenting right item, you need to check if it exists on list,
CircleAvatar(
  key: ValueKey(profiles[index]),
  radius: 50,
  backgroundImage: NetworkImage(profiles[2*index]),
),
if (2 * index + 1 < profiles.length)
  CircleAvatar(
    key: ValueKey(profiles[index + 1]),
    radius: 50,
    backgroundImage:
        NetworkImage(profiles[2 * index + 1]),
  ),

And those are network image.

Go and help wash up at the sink! Don left as soon as he could. It was long before he knew it. I can understand your reluctance. I don't think that's what I need. Do you understand what I'm saying? I'm sure Don appreciates all your help. We balloted for the resolution. I want to make a collect call to Japan. Are you having any difficulty swallowing?
Why do you think that was? There is an answer key in the back of the book. Jeannette got in his car and started the engine. Emily wanted to learn how to read. I almost slapped Mitch. Your daughter passed the examination, I hear. Donnie kicked the soccer ball. I feel like playing golf on such a lovely day. You're psychic. I run, run, and run.
I don't even like fish. I'd like to play a game of ping-pong. It seems I have misplaced your last mail. The party won't be much fun without Corey. Gregory is busy with his research. I know what we can do. I'd like to have smaller bills mixed in. Give it all to me. She's vital to the mission. What's the minimum salary in Congo?
It's a very decorative plant. How does he teach his kids manners? I used to know a guy that grew up in Boston. How many times a day should you feed a dog? I feel like Rajesh is using me. Have the courage to use your own understanding. Look under the skin of a civilized man and you will find a barbarian. My wife was mad. Have you ever watered your backyard? You better not have eaten that pie!
Do you know what Kimberly did? I didn't think you'd tell me. The poet is the one who is inspired much more than he is the one who inspires. Who really knows? You don't really trust us, do you? My new car enables me to go anywhere, anytime. Everyone applauded as Nou walked out onto the stage. I don't have a choice. I have to do it. Tait told me he was planning to go to Boston. Why didn't you just pay Barrio?
Are you asking me for help? Do I need X-rays? My mother died when I was a kid. I waited for her for a really long time. You're much faster than I am. I wasn't allowed to see him. He was always trying to provoke an argument. Never press this button. How did she get into that class? Even though she was very busy, she came to see me off all the same.
I thought Eduardo was lying, too. Cyrus married a Canadian girl. I could go on and on about it, but I won't. Dewey asked Briggs what she had bought at the jewelry store. Their job is to fry the potatoes. You have missed an important clue. Pantelis couldn't believe it. One of these days I will. Gentleness and cheerfulness, these come before all morality; they are the perfect duties. His relatives were convinced of his innocence.
I've been looking forward to hearing from you for weeks. They don't want to get out of bed. I made an appointment with destiny and then forgot it. I wonder if he's waiting for me? Kristen is a real hard worker. I'm trying to do you a favour. It seems good to a scientific person, but I prefer to consult you in practical matters. There are a few good hotels in town. I didn't really want to do that. I know what I'll do. The school yard is shaded.
I'm younger than her. It was lucky you found me. You should stay back. Something tells me I should say no. It's time to establish the religion of love. One good sentence is better than two bad. The boy is jumping. I was angry about missing that film at the cinema. Mahmoud never wears a hat. I don't know the reason for this.
Carol didn't know what to expect. She doesn't like being alone, but I prefer it like that. I should be there in an hour. I like to go to a local jazz club where I can enjoy live music. Did she kiss well? Where did you lose your umbrella? My fingers left marks on the glass. Conrad left his coat downstairs. I want the address. Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

Q: Order_By does not seem to work on queryset I have my models set up as:
class F(models.Model):
    name=models.CharField(max_length=100)
    min=models.IntegerField()
    max=models.IntegerField()
    duration=models.IntegerField() #in minutes

class RF(models.Model):
    f=models.ForeignKey(F)
    rid=models.CharField(max_length=100)

Now I am trying to get a list of all "F" which is associated with a given RF object in desc order of max value. So I have in my view as :
flist=RF.objects.all().order_by('-f__max')

However this gives the list in default order rather than the "max" value.
How to get this working?
Thanks

I'm sure the smart advice from seasoned bloggers after a match like that is to wait before you put your thoughts out there for all to see but I'm new to this. The other thing is my thoughts won't be radical and full of blood lust but those of a fan who can see what's wrong and hopes it can be fixed. Stop me if I state the bleedin' obvious!
It is hard to judge this team as it's not our first team. Having said that, any team 2-0 up with less than 10 minutes to go have to fall to quite low depths of crapness to even draw let alone lose. If ever there was a better example of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory I'm not sure i know when it happened.
I hate using injuries as an excuse but it's all we've got. One area where we don't have injuries is in the goalkeeper department. Unfortunately they have been struck down with a bad dose of crapitis. Today our first choice, who should be our second choice, was dropped for our third choice with some people shouting for our forth choice to be our first. If anything positive comes out of today it will be a shiny new goalie full of confidence who can catch a ball. I'm so depressed by our goalkeepers anyone with a working set of gloves will do for me.
Almunia clearly had been dropped today to see what Flapianski could do and he fluffed his lines big time and proved to us all his nickname is well deserved.
I think the boy on loan who's name I'm not even going to try should be moved to reserve with an new man coming in. Manuel Faulty and Flapianski should be thanked, given a voucher for the club shop and moved on. Enough is enough.
I don't have the energy after that to talk about the rest of the team although I thought Eastmont did OK for such a young man and my Twitter about giving Silvestre another 3 years after his goal was a JOKE!
We now need to get to the end of the season the best we can. Man City and Blackburn won't be easy while I'm starting to hope Fulham get to the UEFA cup final so they go easy on us.
Chins up Gooners. The first date of Silvestre's farewell tour was off key but progress has been made, we can't see injuries this bad again (can we?) and there is money in the kitty. August can't come quickly enough!!
The disappointment over the loss - and the manner of the loss - still tears me apart. Worst part is that - as I tweeted just after the final whistle - mathematically we can actually trop out of the top four this season. And judging on the performances of our boys, and that of the 2 contenders below us - it is more than a mathematical possibility.
In the span of just a few games we've gone from fighting for the title, to fighting for a Champions League place - or even the right to try and qualify for a Champions League place.
We can blame Fabianski (and in several matches, Almunia).
But while I am not to any degree suggesting that Arsene must go - absoluetly not! - he must take the major blame for today's travesty.
By replacing Rosicky and Walcott with Merida (!) and Eboue, and by obviuosly not planning on using RVP at all, he signalled to his players that Arsenal - for the first time in modern history - actually was going to attempt to defend the lead through defending, not through attacking, which is the Arsenal way, and which is the only way Arsenal can defend.
PS: "Slivester" is not a lame attempt at giving the Manure cast-away a new, and in any way funny nickname. It is simply a double typo.
Totally agree with you. The team looked tired and needed something to get us through the last 10 minutes and the subs Arsene made didn't do it. RVP would've scared Wigan. It feels like the whole place has run out of steam and can't wait for the summer but your concerns about finishing 3rd (or heaven forbid 4th) are feeling quite real.
