Jupiter orbiter delivers unprecedented close up images of highly volcanic Jovian moon Io
Saturday’s flyby provided NASA with many raw images, which it released to citizen scientists for post-processing. Juno’s close pass allowed for outstanding high-resolution photos (above and below) of the highly volcanic satellite, including twin plumes from two vests from one “giant” volcano (or two close together) that spewed molten lava…
Highly anticipated indie Sims 4 rival Paralives sets early access release window for 2025
Paralives, the independently-developed life simulation game suspected to be coming for The Sims 4‘s crown, has received a long-awaited news update on when we might really get to play it. The development team led by Alex Massé released a seven-minute gameplay video and accompanying blog post last night, which also addressed their plans for DLC (the elephant in the simulated living room), and ended with the announcement that an early access release is planned for an as-yet-unspecified date in 2025.
Paralives was announced back in 2019 and currently pulls in £27.5K/$33K monthly via Massé’s Patreon, which is amazing when you consider that these seven minutes are the most footage we’ve ever seen in one go of the game’s all-important Live Mode; to say nothing of the fact that this is the first time the team have let slip a hint of a release window for the game. Clearly there’s plenty of appetite among players for a serious challenger to go toe-to-toe with EA’s behemoth Sims franchise.
In case there was any doubt remaining, Paralives is clearly squaring up to The Sims with yesterday’s announcement that all updates and expansions will be free, including those released after the game’s eventual V1.0 launch out of early access, and that the game will never branch out into paid DLC. (Quick reminder that a full complement of The Sims 4’s DLC would currently set you back over a grand, with no signs of new content releases slowing down; while collecting every little add-on available for The Sims 3 honest-to-goodness costs as much as outright purchasing a family home in some parts of Wales.)

Bizarre UTI side effect could turn your urine PURPLE due to highly rare condition, medics find
DOCTORS have found a rare condition which could turn your urine purple – if you have a UTI.
Medics in Kentucky examined an elderly lady whose bladder infection complications turned her urine a deep shade of purple.

The 76-year-old patient was hospitalized and hooked up to a catheter to drain away her urine after suffering from health issues.
She also had a history of kidney disease and bladder cancer and came to hospital with shortness of breath from congestive heart failure.
Upon further investigation, it was revealed she had an acute kidney injury and other health complications.
Based upon the patient’s history and the microbiology results, a diagnosis of PUBS was made.
Purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) is a rare side effect in a patient with urinary tract infection where urine in the catheter bags and tubing turn purple, the medics explained.
A UTI caused a biochemical reaction which resulted in the oddly-coloured urine.
Doctors issued the rare diagnosis of purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS).
It occurs in as many as 42 per cent of patients who have been hooked up to catheters for prolonged periods of time.
A chemical reaction in the liver produces an indigo pigment and indirubin, a red pigment. They are then combined and oxidized to turn purple.
Doctors from the University of Pikeville in Kentucky shared the case in the Oxford Medical Case Reports.
In the report, they said: “PUBS can be associated with many different types of bacteria in the urinary tract.
“The urine in PUBS gets its color from the combination of two pigments, indirubin and indigo, which are breakdown products of tryptophan.”
PUBS was first described clinically in 1978, the Daily Mail reported.
The condition is not usually dangerous, but it can be alarming to patients and their loved ones.
WHAT IS PURPLE URINARY BAG SYNDROME?
According to Urology News, PUBS is an uncommon phenomenon where the tubing and urinary catheter bag turns a purple colour.
This has been linked with urinary tract infections (UTI), chronic debilitated states and prolonged catheterisation.
Medics say the purple tinge of urine is prompted by a series of chemical reactions in the body.
Doctors at the King George’s Medical University in Lucknow, India, wrote in the British Medical Journal Case Reports last year: “The combination of indigo and indirubin gives a purple hue to the urine collection bag.”
It is usually benign though – but doctors may be interested in finding the root causes of PUBS.
Primary risk factors may include age, gender, and in kidney failure, having alkaline urine and constipation.
