Diphydontosaurus avonis

By Ripley Cook

Etymology: Reptile with two types of teeth

First Described By: Whiteside, 1986

Referred Species: D. avonis

Status: Extinct

Time and Place: 227 to 200 million years ago, from the Norian to Rhaetian of the Late Triassic

Diphydontosaurus is known from Southern England and Wales, and possibly also from Northern Italy.

Physical Description: Diphydontosaurus is an early-derived relative of the tuatara, one of the oldest in fact. Like the tuatara, it resembles a lizard in appearance, probably even more so than living tuataras. It was also very small too. Like, really small. 10 centimetres long from head-to-tail with a skull less than 15 millimetres long, small. The skull itself has massive eyes and a pretty short snout, so it was probably a rather cute looking little reptile. The most distinctive features of Diphydontosaurus are its jaws and teeth. Living tuataras have their teeth fused to the jaw bones (acrodont), which wear down and can’t be replaced. Diphyodontosaurus has these teeth at the back of its jaws, but the teeth in front were attached in sockets (pleurodont), like some lizards. These teeth were sharp and peg-like, perfect for puncturing the carapaces of insects, while the teeth at the back formed a shear for slicing through them. Diphydontosaurus also lacked the characteristic “beak” at the tip of the jaws found in later sphenodonts, and probably didn’t chew its food the way modern tuataras can (yes, tuataras can chew). Diphydontosaurus would also have had a typmanum, a.k.a. an eardrum, visible at the back of its head, again like most lizards but unlike the living tuatara.

Diet: Diphydontosaurus was insectivorous, as evidenced by its small size and teeth, although like some living insular lizards it may have eaten plants to supplement its diet.

Behavior: Diphydontosaurus was likely an active predator or insects and other small arthropods. Its large eyes and well developed ear openings indicate that it likely relied heavily on these senses for hunting and catching prey. They may have especially congregated around the abundant fissures and sinkholes in their habitat, where moist soils and plants would have attracted plenty of insects and other arthropods, and so too the Diphydontosaurus. Being small would have been handy for clambering over steep rock faces after prey, out of reach of other, larger reptiles.

Ecosystem: Diphydontosaurus was part of a diverse collection of island ecosystem in the latest Triassic of Europe, populating low-lying islands of limestone pockmarked with deep fissures and caves eroded into the karst. The species found on each island differed, but there was some broad similarities. The largest land animals on these islands were the possibly dwarfed prosauropod dinosaurs Thecodontosaurus and Pantydraco, as well as small theropods. Pseudosuchian archosaurs were here too, including the small predator Terrestrisuchus and the enigmatic Aenigmaspina, both extremely long-legged, agile animals well suited for navigating the karst-riddled landscape. There was also a drepanosaur around, as well as the gliding reptiles Kuehneosaurus and Kuehneosuchus whose affinities remain mysterious. They could be lepidosaurs like sphenodonts, or, they may belong to the strange allokotosaurs on the archosaur side of the tree! The jury is still out on them. Some of the islands also hosted small mammaliaforms, including Morganucodon and Eozostrodon.

Stem-tuataras like Diphydontosaurus were remarkably diverse, and it coexisted with numerous other genera such as Gephyrosaurus, Clevosaurus, and Planocephalosaurus, each with multiple species, and there are still more new types of sphenodont to be described! Such a high density of different sphenodonts on these islands implies they were all specialised for different ways of life. Diphydontosaurus was one of the most abundant of all sphenodonts on the islands of Late Triassic Europe, no doubt thanks to its small size and insectivorous diet. However, this small size left it vulnerable, and it may have been preyed upon by its larger, more predatory cousins like Clevosaurus.

Other: Diphydontosaurus is one of the oldest known, and is the earliest diverging, sphenodont, the group of animals that includes living tuataras but excludes the even earlier-diverging rhyncocephalians, the gephyrosaurids (the distinction isn’t huge, mostly that gephyrosaurids have completely pleurodont teeth). The anatomy of Diphydontosaurus was unexpected compared to modern tuataras, which are so often described as ‘living fossils’ unchanged since the Mesozoic. In fact, certain features of Diphydontosaurus and other early sphenodonts reveal that the modern tuatara is actually pretty derived compared to its ancestors, especially so in the skull, including the loss of its external ears, its shearing teeth and the ability to chew food. Diphydontosaurus really just goes to show you can’t judge a 200 million year old clade by its sole extant member, eh?

Week 20 in Rosedale is over, so let’s do the weekly recap!

Births: 20 Deaths: 10 Total households: 36

SOMERSET:

Due to the ROS roll, Nicholas had an affair with townie Nathalie Raven (who I initially thought he was going to marry...). However, during the affair he rolled a want to marry his boyfriend Costel.

Costel took some time off work to look after their daughter Sadie.

Sadie turned into a child! She then got into private school - as she should when her father’s the mayor.

Costel’s one-time fling Peaches Kat came over for a visit, but they didn’t get up to anything other than talking.

Nicholas got into gardening.

Nicholas turned into an elder!

Nicholas proposed to Costel and the two threw a wedding ceremony that very night.

EVANS:

Vesuvia spent a lot of time playing with their dog Jynx (that they got the week before).

Jynx tried to challenge Citrine the cat for her bed. It didn’t work.

Bellamy helped out his mother at the grocery store, and is going to be the one to inherit it once she dies.

Alan turned into an elder!

Bellamy started learning how to garden.

Bellamy turned into an adult!

Townie Tyra Barrett offered Bellamy a job in level 5 of the Athletic career! As this family is always poor, there was no way he’d pass this up!

Vesuvia got amazing grades at school!

Vesuvia turned into a teenager! She likes women in formal dresses who wear a lot of makeup. She doesn’t like it if they’re too fit however.

Bellamy brought cute townie Nellie Drava home from work, and they hit it off right away! She then moved in pretty much instantly.

Vesuvia rolled a want to go on a date, so she invited over townie Beth Leelaporn. They got along amazingly and look so cute together!

Citrine claimed the kitchen counter as her new sleeping spot.

RAY:

Leia got amazing grades at school and yelled about them to her mother who was on the phone talking about missiles...

Sara turned into an elder!

Vega turned into a child!

The family threw a joint birthday party for Leia and Joseph! All the surviving Villiers and Somerset Gen 3 children showed up.

Leia then turned into an adult and Joseph into an elder!

Aging up with Leia was her boyfriend Alec Beer. Good thing too as Leia immediately rolled a want to propose to him! He said yes, and because the party was still raging they got married then and there.

Leia rolled a want to turn into a werewolf, so her father kindly turned her into one in the bathroom. She then turned her husband into one too.

The week ended with the newly weds trying for a baby!

BIANCHI:

Week 20 saw the Couderc household be renamed to Bianchi as the last Couderc in the family, Kelly, died the week before.

Toby Mazza came over for a booty call with the newly married Davina, and then thought about marriage... Hopefully to his own girlfriend and mother of his children and not to Davina.

Socks gave birth to a litter of kittens next to the doughnut bed! Her babies are called Luna, Lola and Leaf!

Hera walked in on her father and step-mother woohooing on the sofa...

Hera became best friends with Aeryn Brewster!

Jason and Davina woohooed so much that they made a nooboo! They had a son named Trevor!

The kittens turned into adult cats!

Hera threw herself a birthday party and turned into an adult! She then took Leaf and moved out.

ARBON:

ROS dictated that Vivienne had to get someone pregnant, and as her current girlfriend is a robot and she’s a vampire, she needed to find a second one.

Vivienne first tried to romance local hobby leader Tosha Chin, but while they had a fun time, they didn’t really ‘click’ as during their date a random teen townie named Timothy McKeown walked by the lot and died?

Vivienne then called the matchmaker and she set up a date with townie Suzi Riley. Vivienne and Suzi ‘clicked’ a lot better and after a few dates, they fell in love and Suzi moved in.

Suzi quickly fell pregnant, and spent the next few days having morning sickness.

SWAFFORD:

Grimmy came for Ronica for the sixth time and this time, he won. Ronica still got the Hula Zombie treatment though.

Teenagers Teagan and Lane were then the only ones left in the household and managed to keep themselves afloat with the money they inherited from their mother.

As if their week couldn’t get any worse, local burglar Sabastian paid the twins a visit in the middle of the night. Thankfully policeman Cale managed to arrest him.

Lane entered a relationship with Andromeda Brewster!

The twins then turned into adults, and Teagan moved out.

COUDERC II:

Zenith had his date and first kiss with townie Mary Bendett!

Adela turned into an adult!

Grimmy and the Hula Zombies came twice in one night for Ethan and Nova!

BREWSTER:

Twins Andromeda and Saros turned into adults! Saros then went into aspiration failure at not going to university.

However his luck soon changed as he found himself a girlfriend named Jodie Hanlon!

Grimmy and the Hula Zombies came for Gwyneth, and later for Leland.

Andromeda continued seeing Lane Swafford and then rolled the very rare Romance sim want of getting engaged!

Saros went on another date with Jodie, and then proposed! Not wasting any more time, they got married then and there in the living room. And naturally, chimes were heard on the very first woohoo.

The quadruplets turned into adults! Iriel then went into aspiration failure because she didn’t go to university.

Iriel, as a Family sim, wanted to get married so she found herself a boyfriend in hobby leader Jett Fearon. As they’re both Family sims, she proposed almost immediately and he said yes, and then they got married in the bedroom.

On Monday morning, there was a mass exodus from the Brewster household as Jett and Iriel, Andromeda, Saros and Jodie, and Garrus all moved out, leaving Aeyrn and Kira living together in the family home.

MAZZA:

ROS dictated that Emmett was to quit his job, so that’s the first thing that happened on Monday morning.

He then rolled a want to go on a date, so he invited over his girlfriend Jessica Ingham. He then got sprayed by a skunk...

A few days later, Emmett invited Jessica to move in and she brought a whopping §18,000 with her!

Naturally they woohooed and chimes occured!

Grimmy and the Hula Zombies came for Bailey! Even though she didn’t know her very well, Jessica was still really upset by it.

Jessica gave birth to a baby girl named Auri!

Emmett went on an outing to @simper-fi‘s The Hive, leaving Jessica to deal with their newborn...

Danica invited over the headmaster and Roman got into private school!

Roman then turned into a teenager! He likes women with red hair and glasses! He doesn’t like brown hair though...

Considering how long it’s been since Roman was born, I thought he was going to be their only child. However, Danica fell pregnant out of the blue. She gave birth to a daughter named Alecia later in the week!

Lyndsay woohooed with local servo Claire Arbon.

Roman became instant best friends with Zenith Couderc as they have a lot in common (they’re both straight male Romance sims).

Grimmy and the Hula Zombies came for Lyndsay!

Roman got rejected for a date with townie Sue Ryan...

Seconds before she was due to give birth, Danica set herself on fire while cooking! Thankfully firefighter Prissy Condon saved the day!

Natasha turned into a toddler and got started on her toddler skills!

And, once again, Alexis got herself pregnant! There’s going to be a couple of new children in the Dirge household come week 21...

GREEN:

Rose’s ex-girlfriend Lirit came and kicked over the rubbish bin.

After semi-rekindling their flame during Grace’s round, Rose invited her over for a date! Rose then rolled a want to get married to Grace, so she popped the question in the living room!

Singapore Sling – Ly Cooktail Nổi Danh Đến Từ Đảo Quốc Sư Tử

Singapore Sling là ly cocktail nổi tiếng của đất nước Singapore. Qua bài viết này Hoàng Việt Travel sẽ chia sẻ những điều thú vị về ly cooktail này.

Singapore Sling là những ly cocktails nổi tiếng nhất ở Singapore. Những ly cocktails này được phục vụ ở Raffles Long Bar. Khi đến du lịch Singapore bạn không nên bỏ lỡ địa điểm này, nếu bỏ qua thì sẽ thật đáng tiếc. Quán bar này lúc nào cũng thu hút một lượng khách đông đảo vào buổi tối và quán bar này cũng rất dễ tìm.

1. Lịch sử của Singapore Sling

1.1 Quá trình tạo ra thức uống nổi tiếng Singapore Sling

Loại nước này xuất hiện lần đầu tiên vào năm 1915 tại Long Bar của khách sạn Raffles. Ngiam Tong Boon là một bartender đến từ đảo Hải Nam. Đây là người sáng chế ra loại nước uống nổi tiếng này. Tại thời điểm đó khách sạn Raffles có nhiều khách hàng nổi tiếng. Đó là Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor và hai nhà văn lừng danh nước Anh Somerset Maugham. Hai nhà văn này đã đề cao loại cocktail này trong những câu chuyện của chính họ là The Letter.

Ly cocktail nổi tiếng và là biểu tượng của Singapore

Những vị khách đặc biệt này chắc hẳn đã mê mẩn và nhiều lần đến đây để thưởng thức một ly Singapore Sling. Có thể không chỉ một ly là còn nhiều loại nước uống hấp dẫn khác tại Long Bar. Nơi này cũng rất tuyệt để thữ giãn, trò chuyện với bạn bè.

1.2 Cách hình thành tên gọi Raffles Hotel

Có thể nói Rafles Hotel là nơi sáng chế ra loại cocktail nổi tiếng – Singapore Sling và mang tính biểu tượng nhất thế giới. Khách sạn này lấy tên theo Stamford Raffles. Đây là người sáng lập Singapore hiện đại như ngày hôm này. Khách sạn này mở cửa lần đầu vào năm 1887, qua 61 năm sau ông qua đời.

Raffles Hotel

Vào năm 1819, Rafle đang trong hành trình tìm kiếm một điểm trung chuyển hàng hóa đến Trung Quốc. Ông đã hạ neo tại đảo St.John và thăm Singapore. Ông đã quyết định đây là địa điểm tốt để phát triển bến cảnh trung chuyển tự do. Lúc bấy giờ đảo quốc này vẫn còn thuộc quản lý của Quốc vương của Johor. Rất tiếc ông đã qua đời lúc 45 tuổi. Ông đã dành 12 tháng sống ở Singapore. Nhưng tên tuổi của ông vẫn lưu giữ tại quốc đảo này.

2. Công thức pha chế Gin Sling

Công thức pha chế của cocktail Singapore Sling bao gồm các thành phần như sau:

Rượu anh đào (15 ml).

Gen (30 ml).

Rượu “Quantro” và “Benedictine” (7,5 ml).

Anh đào cocktail.

Giáo hoàng.

Nước ép dẻ (120 ml).

Nước chanh (15 ml).

Grenadine (10 ml).

Rượu cam (7,5 ml)

Công thức pha chế Gin Sling

Các thành phần này tuy mỗi loại có hương vị khác nhau. Nhưng khi được hòa quyện với nhau lại rất hòa hợp và nó tạo ra cảm giác rất đặc biệt mà các loại cocktail thông thường khác khó mà có. Chắc vì thế nên cocktail của Long Bar rất nổi tiếng và trở thành một biểu tượng của Singapore.

Một ly Singapore Sling tầm khoảng 30 $SGD. Tuy cái giá này khá đắt nhưng nó là một trải nghiệm tuyệt vời mà bạn nên thử một lần trong đời. Ngoài ra bầu không khí nhộn nhịp vui vẻ của quán bar cũng khiến bạn cảm thấy thoải mái và tuyệt vời. Ở đây cũng bán những món ăn ngon, bạn có thể thưởng thức một ly cocktail chung với vài món ăn nào đó.

3. Thưởng thức Singapore Sling ở đâu?

Ngiam Tong Boon đã sáng chế ra một loại cocktail nổi tiếng vào năm 1913. Công thức ban đầu chỉ là rượu gin, rượu brandy vị đào, benadictine và nước ép dứa tươi. Khi mà trộn những thành trên vào nhau và lắc mạnh. Nó sẽ xuất hiện một lớp bọt xốp mền phía trên ly cocktail. Để có những trải nghiệm tuyệt vời tại Long Bar, bạn không nên đơn giản chỉ nhận một ly cocktail đã được làm sẵn. Bạn có thể yêu cầu những nhân viên pha chế biểu diễn một màn trình diễn pha chế đặc sắc.

The Long Bar Singapore

Vị của thức uống này sẽ hơi ngọt và có một màu hồng đáng yêu xinh xắn. Có lẽ sẽ rất phù hợp với những bạn nữ yêu thích nước uống có màu hồng. Nếu bạn là người thích vị ngọt thì có nhiều loại cocktail khác mà có thể lựa chọn. Nhưng đa số những du khách đến The Long Bar của khách sạn Raffles đều mong muốn thưởng thức nước uống nổi tiếng này.

The next day, Ardelle booty calls Miri, but leaves her standing to go clean the dog house.

Miri: Hey, Babe, I hope the dirty things you mentioned on the phone weren't just related to your dogs. Ardelle: Sorry, no of course not. I just got distracted by all those flies.

I think it's funny how Colby heads for Jude and Em's bed and Ardelle always heads for Jonah's bed. It's as if they avoid their respective parents' beds...

St Sever Cemetery, Rouen

During the First World War, Commonwealth camps and hospitals were stationed on the southern outskirts of Rouen. A base supply depot and the 3rd Echelon of General Headquarters were also established in the city. Almost all of the hospitals at Rouen remained there for practically the whole of the war. They included eight general, five stationary, one British Red Cross, one labour hospital, and No. 2 Convalescent Depot. A number of the dead from these hospitals were buried in other cemeteries, but the great majority were taken to the city cemetery of St. Sever. In September 1916, it was found necessary to begin an extension. St. Sever Cemetery contains 3,083 Commonwealth burials of the First World War.

St Sever: Brig-Gen F.J. De Gex

St Sever: Dame Lucy Branfoot

St Sever: Edith Pearton YMCA

St Sever: Louisa Riggall

St Sever: F.B. Leighton

The Commonwealth plots were designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield.
