Science Friday: Titanoboa vs T-Rex | Rare Photo: Black Hole Devouring a Star | CSI Neolithic: Ötzi's Autopsy
Sorry, the video's a fantasy; they lived about 5 million years apart
How Titanoboa, the 40-Foot-Long Snake, Was Found
In Colombia, the fossil of a gargantuan snake has stunned scientists, forcing them to rethink the nature of prehistoric life
By Guy Gugliotta
- [...]
Fifty-eight million years ago, a few million years after the fall of the dinosaurs, Cerrejón was an immense, swampy jungle where everything was hotter, wetter and bigger than it is today.
The lord of this jungle was a truly spectacular creature—a snake more than 40 feet long and weighing more than a ton. This giant serpent looked something like a modern-day boa constrictor, but behaved more like today's water-dwelling anaconda. It was a swamp denizen and a fearsome predator, able to eat any animal that caught its eye. The thickest part of its body would be nearly as high as a man's waist. Scientists call it Titanoboa cerrejonensis.

Scientists catch black hole in a feeding frenzy
- When it comes to scary things in the universe, it's hard to get much scarier than supermassive black holes. These gigantic, invisible menaces lurk in the centers of galaxies, hungrily vacuuming up everything within reach – or so we think. But the truth is more benign. Supermassive black holes snack infrequently, making the recent discovery of a black hole in the act of feeding all the more exciting to astronomers.
"Black holes, like sharks, suffer from a popular misconception that they are perpetual killing machines," said Ryan Chornock of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "Actually, they're quiet for most of their lives. Occasionally a star wanders too close, and that's when a feeding frenzy begins."
Chornock and his colleagues, led by Suvi Gezari of Johns Hopkins University, reported their discovery of a feeding supermassive black hole in the May 3 issue of the journal Nature.
If a star passes too close to a black hole, tidal forces can rip it apart.
Its constituent gases then swirl in toward the black hole. Friction heats the gases and causes them to glow. By searching for newly glowing supermassive black holes, astronomers can spot them in the midst of a feast.
The team discovered just such a glow on May 31, 2010 using the Pan-STARRS1 telescope on Mount Haleakala in Hawaii. The flare brightened to a peak on July 12th before fading away over the course of a year.
'Iceman' Mummy Holds World's Oldest Blood Cells
Stephanie Pappas, LiveScience Senior Writer
- The oldest red blood cells ever identified have been found in the body of Ötzi the Iceman, a 5,300-year-old mummy found in the Alps in 1991.
The bloody find is a first for Ötzi's mummy, which has been under scientific scrutiny since a pair of hikers stumbled over the body frozen in ice on the Austrian-Italian border. And the new research, published today (May 1) in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, helps confirm the story of Ötzi's death.
The Iceman was so well preserved that scientists could estimate his age (about 45), his health, his last meals (they included red deer meat with herb bread) and even his probable cause of death, an arrow wound to the shoulder that sliced an artery. But no one had ever found blood cells in the ancient man's corpse.

What Are the Parts of a Portable Generator?
Although power outages are rare in the first world, their occurrence is not uncommon in times of severe weather conditions or other unforeseeable circumstances. Power outages can inundate your home, leaving it without heating, light, power for cooking, running computers and even medical equipment. That is, unless it is equipped with a portable generator.
A portable generator is a convenient and easily transportable device that is used to provide backup electrical power to run household and other appliances. Essentially, it produces and provides its own mechanical energy with the help of a motor, which in turn converts the energy produced into electricity. That can then be used to supply much needed electrical energy to operate essential equipment.
Main Parts of a Portable Generator
A portable generator is comprised of an engine, a cooling fan, a generator, an air guide plate and a muffler, all within a closed unit. The engine and the alternating current (AC) generator, the main parts of the portable generator, are mounted on a base. A shaft is connected from the engine to the generator, driving it directly.
The generator part of the portable generator consists of a rotor, stator (a stationary coil) and two rotating magnets. The stator is comprised of wires coiled around a central metal lamination core. These coils allow the conductor to generate electrical current. One end of the generator has a fan that runs by a centrally fitted rotor bolt. This fan cools other areas of the generator.
The engine of a portable generator is equipped with several regulators. Most standardized portable generator engines turn at 3600 rpm to ensure that a standard AC current of 60 hz is produced. The engine also consists of a "governor," a device that controls the engine's speed and revolutions. The voltage regulator portion of the engine keeps the voltage at a standard 120 volts.
Circuit Breaker Switch
A portable generator also contains a circuit breaker switch, which detects excessive current flow. It protects the device receiving the power by opening a circuit between the receptacles and the generator.

A married, middle-aged Russian woman living in rural Blighty considers throwing it all in for a hunky fellow countryman in "The Season of Mists." Sophomore feature by Russian-born, Canada-based helmer Anna Tchernakova sustains a pleasantly low-key, Chekhovian mood throughout, appropriate for a tale of suppressed passion, but lacks punch and surprises. A few more fest dates are forecast before pic heads for a foggy future of limited release in Russia and ancillary.
Once an aspiring writer, Marina (soulful newcomer Marina Blake) has settled for a quiet life as a hairdresser in the U.K.'s Midlands, where she lives with her daughter from a previous relationship, Dasha (Alexandra-Maria Bryars), and good-hearted but dull mechanic husband Gregory (Ifan Huw Dafydd). A chance encounter with a traveling troupe of Russian classical musicians leads to an affair with violinist Sergey (Javier Bardem lookalike Sergey Chonishvilli), prompting Marina to consider what's more important: love or stability. Script and thesping convince more in Russian than English (would-be "eccentric" Brit characters don't help), but the pace picks up when the action moves briefly to Moscow. Tech credits are sturdy but not outstanding, although Dmitry Ermakov's lensing enhances the mood.

It's the halfway mark of the 2017 season and there has been so much drama both on and off the field. The Hawks and Swans dropping off and not winning a game between them until Round 5; only two games separating fourth and fourteenth on the ladder; the Dockers sitting inside the top eight with the fourteenth best percentage in the competition; safe to say this season has been and will continue to be an unpredictable one.
That word, 'unpredictability', is legitimate.
Still so much can go wrong for many teams and, with the ladder as tight as it's been for years, that's why the top eight is still as uncertain as ever.
So regardless of where your team is sitting – be it Adelaide on the top or Brisbane on the bottom – 2017 will be the year where a club will decide to qualify for finals out of nowhere.
So, which teams currently outside the top eight (excluding the Demons, Saints and Bombers as only percentage is separating them) still have the ability to play finals football?
North Melbourne – 4 wins, 6 losses – (96.70%)
Are the Kangaroos the definition of unlucky? A one-point thriller against the Cats, a three-point fade out against the Dogs and another loss by under a goal against the Dockers only kept sprinkling salt on the wounds that were already so damaged after a 0-5 start to the year.
If they win those three matches, North a sitting 7-3 and would be third on the ladder. How different the season could've been. But, it's the biggest case of should've, would've and could've.
If you're unable to close out a game when holding a comfortable lead then a position in the top eight probably isn't justified. Their percentage is currently in the 90's and it's where it should be.
To say that North Melbourne deserve to be in the top eight right now is wrong, however, they have played good enough football that will challenge many of the top sides, hence the 59-point victory over the Crows in Round 7.
It's not as if they're a certainty to challenge, but there is a case to be made for North. They've now won two matches in a row and have a chance to make that three when they host fifth-placed Richmond at Etihad Stadium, a side the Kangas have beaten 87.5 per cent of the time in their past 8 encounters.
Collingwood – 4 wins, 6 losses – (100.23%)
The Pies are in a similar position to the Roos. Not for the fact that they are statistically similar, but because they have been in winning positions in many games. The difference is they are losing matches in different circumstances.
It's Collingwood's inaccuracy in front of goal which has really hindered its top eight hopes.
The Pies are currently third in the competition for total inside 50s (566) and have an average of 56.6 per game. Not bad numbers for a side sitting outside of the top eight. However, its goal kicking accuracy is the second-worst in the competition, and only one other team has recorded more behinds than Collingwood.
The Pies are also in the top four teams in the competition for marks, disposals and clearances per game.
It isn't much to fix, but like the Kangas, they are sitting where they deserve to. They too have won their past two matches and will look to make it three in a row against Fremantle in Perth on Sunday.
Collingwood's season almost rests solely on this match, but if they can square the ledger to 6-6 come the Round 13 bye then it gives them a chance to reset and focus on the second half of the season. A fit Ben Reid and Travis Varcoe is also crucial.
Sydney – 3 wins, 7 losses – (100.11%)
I'm sure the 'how can you have Sydney in there and not Hawthorn' comments will come, but percentage has always been the better indicator of overall team quality.
The Hawks may sit just one game out of the top eight but their football isn't matching up. The Swans are fifteenth but have the tenth best percentage and, really, should be vying for a finals spot.
They still can, with tight losses against the Dogs and Pies, and a thrilling loss to the Hawks ruining their momentum after wins against the Lions, Kangas and Saints. They simply still have a good enough team to cause headaches for top sides.
Take Sydney's win-loss ratio for granted at your own peril, they are probably the hardest fifteenth-placed team to verse in history of the AFL. The bye in Round 11 doesn't help their finals bid as they could fall another four points away, but they will be looking for revenge in their next two matches.
The Swans play the Western Bulldogs at the SCG in Round 12 and will then need to back it up against the Tigers in Round 13 at the MCG. Sydney arguably should've beaten the Dogs and a Sam Lloyd kick after the final siren is a moment Swans fans would like to forget.
Three winnable games then await the Swans – Melbourne, Essendon and the Gold Coast Suns.
It's going to be tough with three wins from 10 games, but you still wouldn't want to play-off against the Swans in a match that could decide a team's finals chance.

The Flow Down adjustable RV drain-support system from Lippert Components keeps the sewer hose off the ground and adjusts to nearly any slope, preventing backups. The legs of each section can be adjusted by using the plastic knobs, or they can be inverted so the knobs can be used as sturdy platforms in loose soil or mud — no more carrying lumber, rocks or modified PVC pipe. If a bend in the hose is needed to get around an object, just eliminate one section of half pipe and set two double fittings end to end to make the desired angle. One kit extends to more than 10 feet, expandable to 20 feet by adding a second kit. Flow Down sets up quickly and stores in the included bag.

Hi ZR,
Let's start with a different challenge -- say I have a big table of 10GB data, and a lot of users. If I peek at all the queries by these users, I see they search by every single column! One day I see a column that's not the first column of any index, I know we have a real problem -- a search by this column is a full table scan. Even if this happens once a month, this is unacceptable, as it means one of the valid queries simply won't work.
My solution -- create indices for every column, but make this table readonly for 23 hours, and update it during the 1-hour window. Having so many indices will slow down insert/update/delete. Writers may lock some data and slow down queries.
Assumption -- if there are enough indices, then search will be fast enough. This is not true if an index has a very fat key and each index page contains just one key value, and the index tree is very very deep. Also, some searches can't run fast -- search by gender, search where age > 0, search for non-null names... Optimizer will be smart enough to ignore indices since FTS is best query plan. I think these are rare and obvious, so assumption is probably safe.
Now let's modify the challenge -- a big "worktable" after a join, not a big physical table. Say table A has columns a1 a2 a3 .., table B has b1, b2, b3 .. and they are joined.
My solution -- create indices on all search columns (in our case all columns). Experiment and keep the physical tables writable all day. Since table A is now much narrower than the big table earlier, writers may be faster. Writes to tables A and B can execute independently. This is similar to the java ConcurrentHashMap design.
From my experience, if table A has 10 columns, it's ok to create that many indices. If a big table has 200 columns, i am not sure.
Now, your question of sorting a large joined table by any field. I believe the last solution may work. Every sort column is covered by an index, so the driver table will be the host table of the sort column, using the index on the sort column. All rows will come out in the right sequence without further sorting.

Halloween Allergies
Halloween is a tricky time of year for families with children who have food allergies. About one percent of all children has a peanut allergy, so it's very likely you'll hand out candy to a child with a peanut allergy.
Allergist Dr. Joel Doctor says these families need to be prepared and have a plan. He suggests the child have a good meal before they head out to ensure the child does not eat any candy before an adult has checked it over. The parent should go through all candy as soon as the child returns home, and the child can trade any questionable candy with a sibling or friend. Also, these children need to be carrying an epinephrine auto injector, an Epipen or Allerject, with them at all times. They should also know when to use the injector. Ideally, this should be determined with your health care professional before Halloween, but the general guideline is if the child having an allergic reaction has any respiratory difficulty, the injector should be used without hesitation. Also, if it unclear whether the child is having trouble breathing during their reaction, it is safer to use the injector rather than withhold it. Epinephrine is very well tolerated in kids so it is not dangerous if given prematurely, and it will inevitably make the child feel better.
Children with a peanut allergy and asthma need to take extra precautions. And there are many of these children because these two conditions are genetically linked. Dr. Doctor says these kids should have their asthma well controlled before Halloween. Firstly, they don't want their asthma interfering when they're running around in the cold air, also if the child's asthma is not well controlled they're more likely to have a more severe allergic reaction.
Dr. Doctor is also encouraging all families to hand out nut free candy. He says keeping these kids safe is a community responsibility.

WASHINGTON — Barbra Streisand, Morgan Freeman, country crooner George Jones, choreographer Twyla Tharp and the Who's Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey will be feted at this year's Kennedy Center Honors.
The group will be celebrated at a Dec. 7 black-tie gala and variety show to be attended by President George Bush and first lady Laura Bush. George Stevens Jr. will again produce the event, which will air on CBS later in the month.
In announcing this year's recipients, Kennedy Center chairman Stephen A. Schwarzman said Streisand's "trailblazing career in music, theater, films and television is one of the most thrilling spectacles of our culture." He called Freeman "one of the most respected performers in American cinema" and Tharp "an American original whose work has indelibly enriched the vocabulary of modern dance, contemporary ballet and the Broadway musical."
Schwarzman said Jones has been "instrumental in making country music a vital force in American life" and praised Townshend and Daltrey for transforming the sights and sounds of rock 'n' roll.
This year's Kennedy Center Honors will include a Dec. 6 dinner at the State Dept. hosted by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and a pre-show reception at the White House.
The Kennedy Center kudos, now in their 31st year, are a fund-raiser for the performing arts center that attracts showbiz and political celebrities of every stripe.

HOUSTON – Rice All-American and reigning national pitcher of the week Ryan Berry tossed his second consecutive complete game, two-hit shutout to lead the Owls past Notre Dame, 9-0, in college baseball action from the 2009 Academy Sports + Outdoors Rice Classic. Rice improved to 8-3 on the season, while the Irish dropped to 4-4.
Berry, who came into the afternoon following a complete game, two-hit shutout of top-ranked Texas A&M last weekend, was outstanding again. The right-handed hurler limited Notre Dame to just a pair of singles and did not allow one Irish base runner into scoring position the entire game. Berry struck out eight and did walk a batter. In fact, Berry only worked to a three-ball count once the entire afternoon and it came in the eighth inning.
Berry improved to 2-0 with the victory. Over his last two outings, he has tossed 18.0 scoreless innings and surrendered just four hits. Berry has also fanned 20 without a single walk. He extended his overall scoreless streak to 20.0 innings.
Sophomore Brian Dupra (Rochester, N.Y.) picked up the loss. The righty matched Berry over the first two innings, but ran into all kinds of trouble in the third and fourth innings.
Rice batted around in both the third and fourth inning, totaling nine runs (five in the third and four more in the fourth) on eight hits.
Dupra was charged with seven earned runs on seven hits in 3.0+ innings. He struck out one, walked one and dropped to 1-2 on the year.
The nine-run cushion was more than enough for Berry. He retired 15 consecutive Notre Dame batters at one point and allowed just one over the minimum on the day.
Freshman Joe Spano (Verona, N.J.) replaced Dupra in the third inning and pitched quite effectively after some early trouble. The southpaw worked 4.0 innings and allowed two earned runs on two hits (kept Rice off the scoreboard over the final three innings). He fanned two and walked two. Fellow freshman Ryan Richter (South Bend, Ind.) made his Irish debut and tossed one scoreless inning of relief.
Diego Seastrunk, Rick Hague and Craig Manuel all added two hits for the Owls. Seastrunk drove in three, while both Hague and Manuel drove in two.
Senior Evan Sharpley and sophomore Cameron McConnell were the only two Irish players to collect hits.
Notre Dame returns to action tomorrow afternoon against Washington State. First pitch between the Irish and Cougars is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. CT. Junior Eric Maust (Alpharetta, Ga.) will take the mound for Notre Dame.

My skin is very important to me.. I try my best to look after my skin. Spots were honestly my worst enemy growing up (as I am sure they are for a lot of young girls and boys!!!)
But, spots are just spots. Everyone gets them, just some worse than others.. we should just accept that! I have always been quite lucky and have never suffered badly with acne but it was still a big deal for me growing up. I used to be extremely paranoid about my spots, but as I have got older, I realise there is a lot worse in life than some little spots on my face!!! Although, I was recently asked to review some "Help: Clear Skin" supplements.. so of course, I jumped at the chance. I'm not normally one to believe a sachet of powder actually helps spots, but honestly they are a blessing. I used them for 14 days straight and I really did notice a difference. The few spots I had on my face at the time disappeared quite rapidly and I had no more appear while I was taking these. This was amazing and it was like Christmas had come early!!! As soon as I ran out of sachets, spots started to appear again! You know, sometimes you wonder what the sachet's will taste like, you think they are probably gross and really hard to take. Well in this instance, not at all, the powder was tasteless, which makes life a whole lot easier and I added it to a glass of water everyday and the process was easy! So I was then drinking a glass of a water (to help reduce spots) and taking a sachet (which reduces spots!) It was great!
I can honestly recommend these supplements, it's so simple and quick. You can grab yourself some here: Works With Water.. Help: Clear Skin
You can choose from a sachet pack of 14 for £22.94 or a sachet pack of 28 for £39.95!
If you do suffer with acne or you are like I was "paranoid about my skin"..it is so worth trying!
I found that my skin looked much clearer, brighter and healthier.

NORTH LIBERTY- In 1986, actor Tom Cruise, portraying a Navy fighter pilot in the movie "Top Gun," declared "I feel the need, the need for speed!" While Cruise's line became a popular catch phrase, firefighters have historically felt the need for speed, with good reason.
TIFFIN- Clear Creek Amana (CCA) High School's girls track and field team hosted its annual Creek Classic Relays Friday, April 5, and welcomed a two-class field of 15 teams. CCA's WaMaC rival to the east, the Solon Lady Spartans, won the Class A meet with 210 team points while the Clippers' foe to the west, Williamsburg, was the runner-up with 136. The Creek Girls were sixth in the seven-team class with 67 points. Pekin won the Class B meet with 170 points, topping runner-up North Linn (120.5 points).
TIFFIN- Clear Creek Amana (CCA) High School's track and field team hosted its annual invitational meet Thursday, April 4, with Anamosa, Benton Community, Cedar Rapids Jefferson, Cedar Rapids Prairie, Des Moines North, Dike-New Hartford, Iowa City West, Linn-Mar, North Linn, Vinton-Shellsburg and Williamsburg participating.
Brandon Barker was the Clippers' sole individual winner after taking the 1,600-meter run in 4:49.90. Kaden McAreavy, Tom Johnson, Jack Sexton and Quentin Gisleson won the 4x800 relay in 8:51.23 for the Creek Boys' only winning relay.
NORTH LIBERTY– "It coulda gone either way," said Liberty High Head Coach Jeff Gordon after his varsity football team defeated Mid-Prairie, Wellman, 27-25, Friday, Sept. 14, at home on Liberty's first "Make a Difference" night for pediatric cancer.
IOWA CITY– Izaya Ono-Fullard punched the ball over the fence, and in so doing, punched Iowa City West High's ticket to the 2017 Class 4A State Baseball Tournament in Des Moines.
Fullard, a senior, drilled a grand slam in the bottom of the fifth inning Wednesday, July 19, at home, in the substate final against the Davenport West Falcons. The four-run homer gave the Trojans an 11-1 lead, ending the game under the mercy rule.
The Falcons threatened, in the top of the second inning, with two men on and one out, but a pair of strikeouts from Braden Houston stopped the threat.
North Liberty Leader
IOWA CITY– The West High Women of Troy ended the regular season with a 25-15 record boosted a bit by a sweep at home of the Dubuque Senior Rams on Thursday, July 6. The game was rescheduled from June 29 due to weather concerns and fit nicely into the schedule as both teams drew a first round bye in regional play. West took game one 7-5 and finished the night with a 10-7 win.

Taproot is ' publishing software, written in PHP 5.4 and driving most of waterpigs.co.uk. It is not currently released to the public. However, various parts of it have been extracted into libraries:
- php-mf2 for parsing microformats2 data
- also php-mf2-shim for getting mf2 data out of silos
- taproot/authentication library concisely implementing indieauth client app + resource server logic
- taproot/subscriptions for easily subscribing+crawling any web content
- taproot/archive your personal opinionated indieweb/microformats-oriented HTML archiver
- original-post-discovery] for determining the canonical URL from POSSE copies
- mf-cleaner for handling microformats2 array structures better
- diaspora-export for exporting public posts from Diaspora
- php-abc for parsing headers out of ABC notation
php-helpers: static helper functions, some utility classes and POSSE stuff including the truncenator. Slowly having the useful parts extracted into smaller packages.
librarianfor DB indexing of flat files, no longer used/maintained
php-activitystreamsactivitystreams implementation, no longer used/maintained
Most of the Taproot design artifacts are up on github too in taproot/design.
All content-creation UIs in taproot are publicly viewable — take a peek!
Design Principles
In addition to the indiewebcamp principles, these are some principles I have discovered through building taproot.
- Build software which feels safe, all other concerns (privacy, security, technically exciting) are secondary [1] — this is based on personal experience through selfdogfooding taproot
- Easy things should be easy, remove friction so hard things are only has hard as they need to be [2]
- Use event listener patterns to build upon the same data in intelligent ways [3]
- Build reusable, framework-agnostic components and release them to the public, not monolithic products.
Taproot was named on .
IndieWeb Support
Taproot supports the following:
- All content is marked up using microformats2 so parse at your leisure.
- Supports posting of notes, articles and music — other post types are faked with HTML inside notes
- Sends pingbacks and webmentions to all the links on every post
- Receives webmentions and pingacks and displays them as comments, likes, reposts or mentions
- Hooked up to Bridgy to display silo interactions in the same place
- reply notes parse the URL they're in-reply-to and display a reply-context if microformats are present
- Notes have webactions with twitter intent fallback if POSSEd to twitter
- ATOM fallback is provided for all feeds
- Notes and articles are POSSEd to twitter automatically and manually/indirectly to facebook
- Logging in using indieauth and distributed-indieauth
- New post UI is publicly viewable and can be used to create new posts on other people's micropub-enabled sites
Currently working on:
- Using Taproot every day to post content
- Shrewdness
Next up, in approximate order of priority:
- Publishing events and RSVPs, handling incoming RSVPs, figuring out invitations
- Publishing recipes
- Particularly I'm interested in presenting them in a way optimised for use in the kitchen from a laptop or tablet
- Audio posts, potentially with POSSE to Soundcloud
- Publishing likes and reposts
- DOM templating for all templates
- Extract more of the code behind my listeners and services into reusable open-source libraries
Done (latest first):
- Implemented anti-DDOS measures (tried client validation, ditched and went with expiring webmention endpoints)
- Publishing venues with reviews, inspired by Tom Morris
- Implemented a basic micropub endpoint, capable of creating notes
- Made it easier to edit note and article published datetimes and lists of syndication URLs
- Timezones now included in all datetimes in feeds and posts
- Showing mentions+mention counts on articles as well as notes, made templates and logic more reusable
- Composite feed on homepage instead of just notes
- Implemented distributed Indieauth and micropub, allowing people to use my new-note UI to create posts on their own site
- Integrated with Bridgy instead of manually shimming backfeed
- Added file upload control to note uploading UI
- Improved new note location UI with interactive map preview for manual adjustments
- Removed dedicated ATOM endpoints, replaced with generic mf2 to ATOM conversion endpoint
- Basic phone UI on homepage
- works nicely on desktop, needs improvement and Tropo involvement for good mobile UX
- Mobile-oriented homepage design as per previous brainstorming
- Allowed notes to have names, which display as a small title at the top of the note. For shorter named articles which don't quite fit into /articles, which is styled for long-form "serious" essays
- Improved check in/location note UI, location now shown on interactive Leaflet map before posting, can be corrected by dragging on map
- Added last-seen location+map, last 3 articles to homepage
- Added a homepage feed after feed reader research demonstrated need for URL -> latest posts
- Deploying new rewritten version
- Rewriting the whole thing to remove frameworkey nonsense code
- using silex as app library
- no DB — faking it with CSV indexes like the idiot I am (it's actually surprisingly effective)
- Accepting webmentions as well as pingbacks
- Federated comments
- Post-by-email
- Major migration away from DB storage, toward flat files, with lots of codebase cleanup in the process
- Import of old posts from Diaspora see them here
- Frontend js using Backbone and requirejs
I got sick of all the complicated frameworkey nonsense which was accumulating in taproot. Symptoms:
- not immediately knowing where to look to change any one particular bit of functionality
- having to change things in different packages+deploy+update to do simple functionality changes
- too many layers of abstraction+indirection — specifically, mixing abstraction layers
- no longer fun to work on, simple additions take too much time
And as such I am rewriting taproot to be smaller and flatter and saner.
Documentation of the aforementioned frameworkey nonsense is retained for posterity at the bottom of the page.
Mentions are stored separately from the content they refer to, for ease of editing and moderation. They're stored with a flattened h-entry-like representation of them which can be easily used in various contexts.
The HTML and HTTP headers from cachable (i.e. public) URLs which are fetched (e.g. webmentioned or webmentioners) are stored in an archive, which also acts as a cache.
Incoming webmentions are processed by a mentions module, which does the following things:
- fetches and archives (using taproot/archive) the webmention source URL
- resolves the target URL and gets it's path
- parses microformats on the page, looks for the first h-entry. if found, it's flattened, normalised and purified to avoid XSS attacks
- from rel values/u-* values in the h-entry, determine the primary mention relationship type, which is one of reply, rsvp, like, repost or mention — mention is used as a fallback if no more specific one is given
- gives the mention an ID based on the source URI, target URI and current datetime
- stores the mention in a file containing the source, target, resolved target path and normalised h-entry
- indexes that file for querying later
Then, when looking for mentions of a particular URL (e.g. http://waterpigs.co.uk/notes/1000/), the following steps are taken:
- Query the index for rows where the resolved path matches the path of the URL we're looking for
- use the rows given to either determine mention type counts for the URL, or fetch the associated files and parse to get the h-entry data for displaying
Modules all store their data in flat files (usually YAML) which I index in CSV file indexes, read/written using PHP's
fgetcsv and
fputcsv functions, which are surprisingly speedy.
For content which has an intrinsic name (like pieces of music, contacts or blog posts) I tend to use an ASCII-fied slug of the name for the ID, generated using Helpers::toAscii. Otherwise (for notes) I create a <= six-character ID from the newbase60 representation of epoch days + number of seconds into that day.
The data is all stored in a microformats-2 JSON variant structure which is substantially flatter than mf2 JSON — all properties are properties of the parent object, not a properties key, there is no "children" key and only plural properties map to arrays. I keep most of the semantics the same except on the occasions where I prefer a different term (tag over category) or want to aggregate the properties from what would be multiple different mf properties into one (e.g. combining geo, adr and venue into "location").
- Originally I intended on using the activitystreams schema to store and represent all my content, the idea being that it would allow me to make listeners which could work seamlessly on all sorts of content types. In actuality, I have nowhere near as many content types as I anticipated, and want to treat each one very differently. In addition to this, I found some of the semantics within activitystreams irritating (e.g. displayName vs title, both horrible names) and the activity ~= object ambiguity confusing. Coupled with the fact that there is no activitystreams client, I decided to drop activitystreams as the basis for representing my data. --Waterpigs.co.uk 12:33, 14 June 2013 (PDT)
Previous, abandoned structure
Taproot has a highly modular structure. It is made up of an Application class, which handles event dispatching, simple dependency injection, routing and module loading. There are two types of modules — full modules, which expose URLs, and listeners, which listen to events dispatched within taproot.
Currently there are modules for Index, Notes, Articles, Contacts, Tunes, Tags and Mentions.
There are a large number of listeners which handle everything from authentication to POSSE and content transformation. Typically if I want to add a new piece of functionality I'll do it in a listener, if I want to add a new content type I'll create a new module.
(out of date as of 2013-12)
The Notes module is the mainstay of my Taproot usage. It handles the creation and display of short notes — kinda like tweets, but with a potentially much larger scope through the excessive use of tagging.
As in most of Taproot, the notes module handles basic CRUDL of data, and various listeners do everything else, including converting markdown, interpreting hashtags, autolinking @names, syndication of content.
Posting a note looks like this:

My team lead asked me to assist a junior developer with their compile problems. The team lead tried to help previously. But our software would not build on one developer's new machine.
I took a look at some of the errors. There were calls to bitmap functions, passing in literals like OBM_CHECKBOXES. I searched around and found these were defined in "winuser.h". That file should be getting included I thought.
So I went and traced how "winuser.h" gets included. I found that it all starts with "stdafx.h", and eventually get included from "windows.h". Then I saw that these header files were present and included on the new machine. They were.
Upon closer inspection of "winuser.h", the literals are only defined if you have already defined OEMRESOURCES. I went through the exercise again finding how OEMRESOURCES gets defined on my machine. It is part of the project. Turns out the new machine had a project file which failed to define OEMRESOURCES for the debug build. Getting a correct project file solved this problem.
The details of the debugging are not important. The process is important. I did most of the investigation along side our junior developer. Hopefully some of this is rubbing off. Next step is to debug why another project fails to build on the machine due to missing DLL dependencies. Fun stuff.

When it comes to content marketing, the most important goal is facilitating interactions that create loyalty. If you get content marketing right, people will be excited to engage with your brand over and over. You'll be more than a brand; you will be seen as a source of useful information and leadership. You will also be able to associate your brand with things that people consider meaningful and important. Keep reading to find out how to create and promote customer loyalty through content marketing.
Get to know your target audience
If you want to increase your customer loyalty, you need to learn what makes them tick. Create a profile of what you consider your ideal customer to be. You can include information about things like their occupation, hobbies, and worldview. The more specific the profile is, the better. Think about how your customer experiences their average day. What do they do for work? What is their transportation situation? What do they do with their leisure time? Try and get an understanding of where the pain points are in your customer's average day.
"You'll start to notice some trends and common problems your customers are dealing with. The more you sympathize with your audience's struggles in your content, the more loyal they will be," advises James Smith, writer at Essayroo.
Demonstrate your core values
Creating a unique identity is important, and a big part of that is having some core values. People are more likely to feel loyalty towards a brand that has established and consistent core values. What are your core values? Why do you do what you do? What is your company's vision? Do you have an origin story that motivates you? Balance your motivations with what your customers are looking for. Is there a cause that you feel strongly about that you could associate with your company? If you can combine a cause that resonates with your customers and a brand that also meets their needs, that is powerful combination. Use your content marketing to communicate your message to the customer. Try and create an association between your brand and a cause that your customers already consider important. Effectively communicating your brand's message will require solid writing skills. StateofWriting, ViaWriting, and My Writing Way can help you hone your grammar skills. Boomessays, Academized (read Academized review), and UKWritings can help write and proofread quality marketing material.
Stand out and be different
"If you've got a good understanding of what your audience is like, then there's no reason to be afraid of making a bold statement. People value authenticity, and a bold statement goes a long way toward positioning yourself as an honest and authentic brand," recommends Nicole Mallory, writer at AustralianHelp.
Authenticity attracts loyalty. Just be sure to put lots of thought into your bold statements; tact is key when you're making these kinds of impressions. You don't need to be constantly coming out with these kinds of impact statements. The majority of your content should be useful, relevant, and interesting material that your customers can enjoy and benefit from.
Creating your content
There are many kinds of content you can create. Your best bet is to choose a content type that plays to your strengths. Share some of your expertise in the form of a blog post or article. If your brand is visual, create some video content. It is the most effective way to engage with your users. Use infographics to share some information with your customers about your service and how to get the most out of it. Social media content is a great way to stay connected with your audience and keep them up to date on new developments with your service.
Don't forget to create post-purchase content
Once someone has signed up for your service, it's important that there is content available to help them get up to speed on how to get the most out of it. You can build up loyalty by providing content that educates your new user and answers the kinds of questions they are likely to have about your service. When you can anticipate your user's questions, you really go a long way towards easing their mind and concerns. People appreciate when there is content specifically designed to make sure they are able to enjoy their new service, and they really appreciate not having to go searching for it.
Content marketing has the ability to connect you with your users. Use these interactions to increase your credibility, as well as improving your SEO rankings, and your leads. But remember that customer loyalty is the most important thing; loyalty earns you a user for life. Customer loyalty doesn't just happen, it is created and the fostered by a content strategy that is relevant and valuable to the customer.

Information Document
Insurance Product Information Document (IPID)
Why would a deductible or contribution from my part actually be more useful for me?
If there are deductibles the premium is lower. The main benefit of having a deductible amount in your policy is that the annual premium is cheaper; moreover the annual adjustment of premium will also be smaller.
Please consider that the simultaneous use of other insurance providers, may minimize the payment of deductibles by the policy holder, or even nullify it.
How can I combine my hospital care insurance program with state health insurance? What are the benefits?
You can use your health insurance program and state health insurance simultaneously. In this way, you will benefit from not having to pay a deductible amount. You will also receive a "good use" bonus and, in the long term, there will be a lower adjustment rate to your premium.
What papers will I need to provide Generali with, in case of hospitalization at a non-contracted hospital?
You will need to provide the following:
- Declaration of accident or illness.
- Original invoices and receipts for services and special materials used for the operation.
- Receipts and medicine stamps, included in the hospital invoice.
- Discharge Slip.
Additional papers may be required, depending on the incident:
- Doctor's Note (state hospitals).
- Formal translations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (hospitals outside Greece).
- Medical history of the hospitalization and treatment.
- Original Health Record Book.
What do I have to do if I need to be hospitalized?
You have to inform the Health Care Call Center (18112 or 210 8096100) about the hospitalization and whether it is a scheduled operation, so you can be informed about the contracted hospitals. If you chose a hospital other than the contracted hospitals, there will be a difference in the method of payment (contracted institutions are paid directly by Generali). In case of an emergency hospitalization the call center can offer you information about your nearest contracted hospital. In all cases, do not forget to have your Generali Insurance Card with you.
How can I book an appointment for a medical examination?
You can call the Generali Health Care Call Center (18112 or 210 8096100), in order to book an appointment with an associate doctor of the appropriate specialization. Please do not forget to quote the number printed on your insurance card.
What do I have to do if I need to have diagnostic tests done?
You will have to call the Generali Medical Call Center (18112 or 210 8096100), in order to book an appointment at a contracted diagnostic center. Please do not forget to quote the number printed on your insurance card..
How do I receive my compensation in case of hospitalization?
In case of hospitalization at a contracted hospital, you will not need to pay anything, except the deductible amount of your policy. If you are hospitalized at non contracted hospital you will have to pay the full amount and file a claim at Generali, with the required papers.
What's the difference between a Hospital and Out of Hospital Insurance Program?
Besides primary health care needs, the Hospital Insurance program covers more health needs that include hospitalization, as well as whole process – from tests to rehabilitation. Some examples are:
- Anaesthesiologist's fee.
- Surgeon's fee.
- Room expenses.
- Pre-surgical and post-surgical expenses.
For more information you can visit the Health Insurance section, under Personal Insurance.
What does a Generali Out of Hospital insurance program cover, in general?
In short, Out of Hospital programs cover a variety of health needs that do not require hospitalization / hospital stay, such as:
- Medical Visits.
- Medical procedures.
- Diagnostic Tests.
- General Preventive Tests.
- Specialized Preventive Tests.
For more information you can visit the Health Insurance section, under Personal Insurance.
Are medical examinations mandatory for a health policy?
Not necessarily. Depending on the profile of the candidate policy holder, as well as the selected insurance program, the company may ask for pre-insurance health examinations.
I am married with / without children. Why is it better for me to choose a Family Insurance program?
The Family series is a truly smart solution, since it provides you with health insurance for all the members of the family, in one single contract, with clear terms and conditions and one premium. In this way, it helps you manage your family budget and save on health insurance.
What solutions does Generali offer for Health Insurance?
The basic insurance Generali offers is separated into:
- Primary care insurance (Health Keeper) and secondary care insurance (Medical Safety, Medical Prime).
- Family insurance packages.

The Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling are one of the most popular series of all time which means that they have a lot of fans from all over the world. Many of these fans will either end up in London at some point or another in their lives or maybe even go there simply because that is where Harry Potter was written and takes place. Although a great deal of it takes place in Scotland as that is where Hogwarts is located, there are still plenty of Harry Potter related sights to see in London as well. Here are some of the best ones for a Harry Potter fan.
King's Cross Station
King's Cross is one of the busiest tube stations in London and also happens to be where Harry and his friends start their journey to Hogwarts. While you can't actually enter platform 9 ¾ by walking through the walls between platforms 9 and 10, the city has set up a trolley that appears to be going through the wall leading to platform 9 ¾. Keep in mind, however, that this trolley is not actually located exactly where the platform would be so true fans may want to take a picture with it and then another between platforms 9 and 10. Because it is one of the largest train stations in London, King's Cross station is on several tube lines, including Victoria (light blue), Piccadilly (dark blue), Northern (black), Hammersmith and City (pink), Circle (yellow) and Metropolitan (purple) meaning that the station is easily accessible from any point in London.
King's Cross station is one of the most used stations in the city by everyone, not just HP fans, but it is almost an every day thing that at least some fans will be there taking a picture. If you see them taking a picture of platform 9 ¾ make sure o say hi or wave your wand.
Charing Cross Road
Everyone knows that Diagon Alley is one of the most important places in wizarding London and that one of the easiest (and most popular) ways to get there is through the Leaky Cauldron. Although we muggles can't actually see the Leaky Cauldron, we can visit the street it is on: Charing Cross Road. In the book, the Leaky Cauldron is between a record store and a book shop so if you happen to see those two shops next to each other, look carefully to see if you can find any wizards walking by. You will be able to recognize the wizards because in some cases they just do not know how to wear muggle clothes.
Tottenham Court Road
You may remember in the 7th book when the Death Eaters interrupt Bill and Fleur's wedding. Tottenham Court Road is where Hermione takes Harry and Ron when they attack and they hide out in a muggle café. Although you won't be able to find anything specifically Harry Potter related here, some fans simply want to see the road they escaped to.
Piccadilly Circus
If you are a movie fan, you will notice that in the 7th movie instead of heading to Tottenham Court Road, the trio can be found in Piccadilly Circus (which also happens to be one of the main places to visit in London). That means that this is another great place to visit, but only if you are a movie fan. If you are a tourist, then you will probably want to go there anyway so might as well enjoy the site with an extra incentive that it is a Potter related place.
London Zoo
Another must see for Harry Potter fans in London is the London Zoo, specifically the reptile house. This is where Harry first discovers his ability to speak Parseltongue by speaking to a snake who wants to see Brazil. Although die-hard Harry Potter fans will note that this could not have taken place in London Zoo as Harry grew up in Surrey, the film was shot here so fans of the movies should stop by.
St. Pancras International
If you are a fan of the movies, you will recognize St. Pancras International Station (conveniently located right next to King's Cross) from the Chamber of Secrets. That is because when Harry and Ron can't get onto platform 9 ¾, this is where they get into Mr. Weasley's Ford Anglia and start their journey towards Hogwarts in the flying car.
Westminster Tube Station
Another place for movie fans to visit is Westminster tube station, which is on the Circle (yellow), District (green) and Jubilee (gray) line. This tube station is found in Order of the Phoenix when Mr. Weasley takes Harry to the Ministry of Magic for his hearing. Interestingly enough, they not only change lines at this station, but they also exit here, a fact that only Londoners would notice. The Westminster station is one of the most visited by all types of tourists because it is the one that you have to go when you want to visit Parliament, Big Ben and other major attractions in London.
Millennium Bridge
Movie fans will remember the opening scene of Half Blood Prince where the Death Eaters wreak havoc on Millennium Bridge, destroying it and injuring countless muggles. That makes this a site that fans may want to visit. Just keep in mind that the 6th book occurs in 1996 and 1997 so this bridge wasn't even built yet when the story actually takes place.
Australia House
Harry Potter fans are of course interested in Gringotts Wizarding Bank and if you want to see where the scenes taking place in it were shot (in Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone), simply head to Australia House on the Strand.
Studio Tour
For die-hard fans of the Harry Potter movies, taking a tour of the Warner Brothers studio in London where many scenes were shot is a must. This includes seeing sets, props and costumes, making it a one of a kind experience.

There was once a group of gentleman that preferred their coffee unusually dark-roasted – to the point that it was seen as burnt by most. These same gentlemen thought to themselves, "Well if we like it that way, there's sure to be others that'll like it!" And with that, they opened their first coffee shop. The rest of the coffee industry laughed at them, "There's no way you'll ever sell those burned beans; no one likes coffee like that."Turns out people did like those coffee beans. In fact, the coffee obsession hit America hard, and soon we were all craving expensive lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos in demi, short, tall, grande, venti and trenta. Yes, that small coffee place was Starbucks, and has since revolutionized coffee as we know it today.
It may just be coffee, but we love it – morning, noon and night. Here are the perfect coffee shop supplies for your business.

It's true. Amid a cacophony of "brand evangelists" preaching about "brand love" and "brand purpose," here's the dirty little truth: Research* shows brand loyalty has been way oversold. While many brands love to trumpet the stories of customers who buy only their products, it's a rare occurrence. Most consumers will buy multiple brands within a category.
Paradoxically, this is the exact reason you should pay even closer attention to your brand. Consumers only see very incremental differences between two similar products. So a brand meticulously built the Hirons way – with a distinctive look, tone and voice built on research and strategy – puts you at the front of the line when the fickle consumer looks left, then right, and finally says, "I want that one."

Life Under the Surface
London's freshwater ponds are home to a surprising number of different plants, insects and other animals. From well-known critters like frogs, pond snails, and water boatmen, to the unexpected like water stick insects and water scorpions. There is a lot of hidden life under the surface! In fact, ponds are such an important habitat for some of our native amphibian and reptile species that we decided to make this the starting point for our educational craft workshop.
'Life Under the Surface' allows children to explore life in a pond from frog's point of view, and celebrates the diversity of wildlife living in London ponds. Over the course of the workshops children learn about the importance of pond biodiversity through fun filled talks, quizzes, games and videos. Then they put what they have learnt into action creating an amazing giant underwater themed exhibition, displaying their crafts.
The 'Life under the Surface' exhibition forms the centrepiece of the workshops. It becomes larger and more informative as successive school and family groups contribute their work to the display. By the end of the workshops the exhibition becomes a space which visitors can explore to discover more about the animals living in ponds.
To allow as many children to take part as possible, Dragon Finder run two different 'Life Under the Surface' workshops. One suitable for primary school groups and the other for families with young children.
School workshops:
School workshops typically last between 1 to 2 hours. Over the course of the session children learn about the importance of pond biodiversity through talks, quizzes, games and videos. Then they get crafty creating tadpoles, pond insects, a giant newt or even a grass snake out of craft materials! The models and drawings are used to create an amazing underwater themed exhibition to help people to learn more about the weird and wonderful animals living in British ponds. Suitable for key stages 1 and 2.
Check out our most recent session at Countryside Live!
Family workshops:
Dragon Finder also run Life under the Surface workshops for family groups. These last up to half an hour and focus on just one or two of the weird and wonderful animals found in ponds. Suitable for ages 3 and up.
Where do we run the sessions?
We run the workshops in partnership with larger host organisations.
During 2015 we worked with:
- Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park
- Islington Ecology Centre
- Countryside Live at Lee Valley Regional Park, Leyton
In 2014 we worked with:
- Ray Park, Woodford Green
- Vauxhall City Farm, Lambeth
- Lee Valley Regional Park, Leyton
In 2013 we worked with:
- Befords Park, Havering
- London Wetland Centre, Barnes
- Sutton Ecology Centre, Sutton
- Horniman Museum, Forest Hill

SiS has launched a Rambus-based chipset aimed at Pentium processors running over an 800MHz effective bit rate frontside bus.
The SiS659 will feature the next generation of SiS' HyperStreaming technology, the Advanced HyperStreaming Engine. AHSE accelerates the movement of bulk data, whether that's information streamed from the Internet or between storage devices, such as video content, through the PC. It targets single streams of data and multiple, parallel streams through a mix of latency reduction, pipelining, real-time access, prioritisation and channel arbitration.
AHSE adds an Intel Performance Acceleration Technology (PAT) style system, "and integrates hardware management and system resource allocation, including the CPU, front side bus, south-bridge chipset, memory controller, graphics interface, and peripheral I/O", says SiS.
The chipset provides a quad-channel memory bus designed to take 1.2GHz RDRAM for 9.6GBps of memory bandwidth. Up to 16GB of memory is supported.
SiSR659 samples will be available in the fourth quarter, the company said. ®

Florida State looks to 2012 after sneaking past Notre Dame
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Sometimes, if you press your ear to the press box window, you can almost hear thousands of fans across the country scream "Noooooooooooooooo!" as a ball flies through the air. One of those moments took place Thursday evening.
As the ball chucked by Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees buried itself in the hands of Florida State safety Terrence Brooks with 2:48 remaining, those same thousands -- undoubtedly inspired by the A Christmas Story marathon this past weekend -- probably screamed "Fuuuuuuuuuuudddddggggge!"
Only they didn't say "fudge."
Because, with apologies to Ralphie, this was THE interception. The big one. The queen-mother of all interceptions. Coach Brian Kelly wanted Rees to hit the receiver running dig route if the safety doubled the receiver running the post route. Brooks doubled the post. Rees threw to the post. In the process, he encapsulated a season of missed opportunities for the Fighting Irish and helped seal an 18-14 Florida State win that should give the Seminoles -- who started four true freshmen on the offensive line Thursday -- renewed confidence heading into the offseason.
FSU and Notre Dame are about as far apart as a one-possession game would suggest. But bowl games are funny like that. For the Irish, this loss will be the albatross that can't be shed until September. For the Seminoles, this win will serve as the proof that 2012 -- even though we say it every year -- is the year FSU finally re-establishes itself among the nation's elite.
What should stick in the craw of the Irish is the realization that this could have been a much bigger year. The 2011 season effectively ended with a crippling interception in the end zone, and that perfectly bookended the crippling red-zone fumble returned for a touchdown that helped cost Notre Dame its season opener against South Florida. Then came the fourth-quarter collapse against Sugar Bowl-bound Michigan. Then came this calamity, for which there are no appropriate words, against USC. But for a few plays, the Irish could have entered their bowl game at 11-1 or 10-2.
"The turnovers were, again, the large reason for us not being able to win this football game," Kelly said. "It's been the case all year. It started against South Florida, and it continued to show itself throughout the entire year."
Changing quarterbacks didn't fix the problem. Dayne Crist, who has already decided to transfer to Kansas, gave way to Rees. Rees then occasionally gave way to Andrew Hendrix down the stretch. Thursday, Rees and the more mobile Hendrix split time. Rees threw an interception to Lamarcus Joyner in the end zone in the first quarter and threw directly to Brooks in the fourth with the Irish facing first-and-20 from the FSU 28. Hendrix, meanwhile, threw the fourth-quarter interception to Nigel Bradham that set up the E.J. Manuel-to-Rashad Greene laser beam that gave FSU its first lead at 15-14.
"We cannot win football games at the highest level if we continue to turn the ball over," Kelly said. "So the coaches have to get better. The players have to get better. We have to solve this issue if we're going to be an elite football team."
Indeed, but that solution won't come without more hand-wringing over the identity of the quarterback. In the spring, Rees and Hendrix will compete with freshman Everett Golson, who sat out this season. If one of those players can grab the job and hold on tight, the Irish may know their offensive identity going into the season. That is the dream scenario, but it's equally as likely that the competition could drag into August or September. Still, the Irish bring back linebacker Manti Te'o and a host of promising young defenders such as nose guard Louis Nix and defensive end Aaron Lynch, who FSU quarterback Manuel said will be "all-world." It may seem dark now, but a one-possession loss -- as crushing as it was -- shouldn't ruin an entire offseason.
The mood will be much brighter in Tallahassee, though the Seminoles have their own issues to resolve. In 2011, FSU had plenty of excuses for its failure to live up to preseason expectations. Manuel missed games and played hurt. Leading receiver Greene missed four games due to injury. (The fact that Greene still led the team in receiving yards in spite of that absence suggests he and Manuel need some serious help from FSU's other pass-catchers.) Five offensive linemen were lost for the season to injury, forcing senior left tackle Zebrie Sanders to preside over a Romper Room line Thursday that included 17-year-old right tackle Bobby Hart.
In the first half, FSU's young linemen played like overwhelmed freshmen. The Irish sacked Manuel four times, and it seemed the junior wouldn't survive the game intact, much less lead the Seminoles to a win. Someone asked FSU coach Jimbo Fisher if he contemplated making changes on the line at halftime. Fisher smiled and conceded that there were no changes he could make. Besides, he said, most of the busted plays usually involved only one missed assignment. If the Seminoles could only string together a few plays in which all five completed their assignments, FSU had a chance. Manuel tried to stay positive even as he dodged Irish defenders play after play. "The biggest thing was giving them confidence," Manuel said.
In the third quarter, something miraculous happened. The sieve didn't exactly turn into a wall, but it did give Manuel a few more fractions of a second to throw. "The guys up front," Fisher said, "finally realized they could play."
The quarter began with a Notre Dame drive that appeared to portend a blowout. FSU cornerback Xavier Rhodes went out with a knee injury, and the Irish attacked FSU's other defensive backs. The drive ended with a pass that would have been intercepted by Seminole Greg Reid had it not been thrown to 6-foot-3, 224-pound future millionaire Michael Floyd. Floyd jumped and snatched the ball away from Reid for a touchdown that put Notre Dame up 14-0. The play would cost both teams. Floyd suffered what Kelly called "an upper-body injury," while Reid landed on his head and missed the rest of the game because of concussion-like symptoms.
Down 14-3 late in the third, FSU faced third-and-five from its own 21. The Seminoles had yet to convert a third down. Hope for a comeback remained minimal. Manuel lofted a pass down the left sideline. Greene seemed to have no chance to reach the ball, but he dove and wound up cradling the ball at the Notre Dame 46. This didn't surprise anyone on the Florida State sideline. The Seminoles have seen Greene perform such feats all season in practice. Greene's former teammates at Fort Lauderdale's St. Thomas Aquinas High probably weren't surprised, either. After all, they saw him do this. Greene would make another circus catch along the right sideline in the fourth quarter -- which may or may not have been a catch; the replay official said it was -- to help set up the field goal that forced Notre Dame to play for a touchdown.
Greene is one of a number of freshmen and sophomores on the FSU depth chart that should have everyone in garnet and gold counting the days until September. All those offensive linemen will be back, along with several of the starters lost to injury this season. Defensive end Bjoern Werner and linebackers Christian Jones and Telvin Smith are only sophomores. Ditto for Joyner and Rhodes. The future seems bright after FSU stole a win Thursday, but Fisher knows the emotional bump from the victory can only take the Seminoles so far.
"Just because you win this game, does it give you momentum? Yes, it does. But it doesn't mean you're going to win next year," Fisher said. "We have to put in the work now. This team's new life just now starts. A team has a life expectancy of one year. We've got a new team now."
Those who dwell in South Bend, despite how awful they feel now, would be wise to remember that.

"Grey's Anatomy" star Giacomo Gianniotti is ready for the next chapter in his life!
On Sunday, Giacomo announced that he popped the question to his girlfriend Nichole Gustafson over the Thanksgiving weekend and "she said yes."
Along with a kissing photo, he wrote on Instagram, "I am truly one lucky guy, and I wouldn't rather be walking down this crazy road of life with anyone else. I love you. Thank you."
Nichole, a makeup artist, posted the same photo, writing, "Yesterday my best friend asked me to marry him in the most romantic way, a day reliving our love. We are thrilled. I wouldn't want to do this life with anyone else. I love you baby and can't wait to be your wife 💍 This man has showed me what true love is. What a dream come true, pinch me."
Nichole also shared a photo of her engagement ring.
Over the summer, Nichole gushed about her man on Instagram, raving, "he's perfect. I told him today that he's the best human I've ever known. And he is."

Black Onyx Heart Chinese Coin Necklace
Black Onyx Heart Chinese Coin Necklace
This gorgeous Black Onyx Heart Chinese Coin necklace is uniquely different as it combines the healing properties of the gemstone crystal and utilises the art of Feng Shui wtih the use of the Chinese coin. The gemstone hangs from an adjustable brown cord finished off with a wooden bead.
Black Onyx is believed to open the base chakra which helps our "grounding" to the earth and is associated with all our survival instincts and self-preservation. Black Onyx is a soothing stone said to help alleviate fears and worries and to help you to feel comfortable within yourself and in your surroundings. It is also believed to promote stamina and vigour and to encourage the making of wise decisions. Black Onyx is said to promote self-control helping the wearer to keep excessive emotions and passions under control and is a good stone to have around during times of mental or physical stress or bereavement, as it provides strength and support during difficult circumstances.
Onyx has also been used to treat disorders of the bones, bone marrow and blood as well as being beneficial for teeth and the feet.
Chinese Coins
Chinese coins are essential ingredients in the practice of Feng Shui.The coins are rounded shape with a square hole in the center and in Feng Shui, are the most potent symbol of wealth. The coin circle represents heaven while the square represents earth and the two sides of the coin represents Yin and Yang. The Yang side should always be used facing up as Feng Shui masters believe these Chinese coins are powerful emblems of wealth, endless fortune and prosperity.


text: Ja !!! meer info over X-Com Alliance. Dit vijfde deel in de serie zal een fps worden met "Veel extra's" vooral de diepgang van alle X-Com delen en waarschijnlijk ook van dit deel zal veel mensen aanspreken.X-COM fast-forwards to the year 2062, just after X-COM Terror from the Deep, with the alien invaders returning for another fight. You take control of your entire squad as you work to erase the alien threat completely. The game, from Hasbro, allows you to control your entire party's inventory and you can keep tabs on each one of them through small video screens at the top of your interface. For this outing Hasbro has moved away from turn-based, squad-level combat and gone for full-on action. The latest in the X-COM franchise is using Epic's Unreal engine. You lead a salvage squad on a mission to recover supplies from the conclusive battle of the first X-COM. Along the way, your ship is sucked into a wormhole, and into the middle of a battle between two alien species. You must investigate the alien vessels, recover and research artefacts, and lead small groups of soldiers into the alien structures as you search for a means of returning home. However, this is far more than AVP or Unreal Tournament. Being squad based, there is a strong strategic element, and the choices you make - from the type of weapons used to which team members you take the missions, will affect the outcome. The ability to command other soldiers makes this title stand out from the traditional run-and-gun shooters. Deze titel zullen wij (en vooral ik ) nauwlettend in de gaten houden hier is nog een screenie voor jullie.
