Things You Need to Know About Eaten Alive

This is no ordinary man being eaten by an ordinary snake (as if that could ever be ordinary). Here's the low down on what you need to know about this "dangerous game" in the jungle: • The dude is Paul Rosolie. He is a snake researcher and conservationist who has dedicated his career to studying snakes, particularly the giant green anaconda. This summer, he went into the Amazonian jungle to track down one of these creatures and be "eaten alive" -- hence the title of the Discovery Channel special. • The giant green anaconda is the world's largest and most powerful snake, as well as the top predator in the Amazon. Anacondas can open their mouths to almost 180 degrees, with jaws attached by elastic ligaments, so it is actually possible for them to swallow a person; right after they crush their bones, of course. • Paul found the snake. He tracked down a 20ft-long green anaconda, and then donned a suit of specially manufactured armor covered in pigs' blood so that the snake would be attracted to him. He then crawled on all fours toward the snake, willing her to attack him so that he might journey through her intestines. • He didn't actually get eaten. Despite the title of the show, Paul only got part of his head into the snake's mouth before feeling his arm break under the snake's coil and shouting to his team to rescue him. So the world continues to not know what it's like to travel through the inside of a giant green anaconda. It's probably better that way.

Quick Tips: How to Get a Job

Whether you're looking for something temporary during the holiday season or a full-time career, it often seems impossible to get your hands on an elusive job. How do other people do it? Luckily for you, we've done our research, had our fair share of jobs and figured out some of the best tips for snagging the job of your dreams (well, at least a job). • Make a specific cover letter. Many people will not use a cover letter at all, and if they use one, it will be canned and generic. Make sure you stand out with a letter that shows you did your research on the company and are very interested in this specific position. • Call the hiring managers. It's so easy for us to rely on our computers to do everything digitally, which is why they'll be impressed by your drive and determination. It also shows them you're willing to go out of your comfort zone -- definitely an important skill. • Quantify your actions. Yeah, it's great that you "babysat kids" at your last job, but doesn't it sound better to say you "engaged and enhanced the learning environment for three children under the age of 6"? Use strong verbs and numbers to really tell what you did. • Use an appropriate email address. Maybe you've been using the same email since middle school; the fact that you still remember the password to that is impressive. However, employers will not be impressed by whatever nickname you chose -- just make a new one. • Send a thank you note. If there are any people who help you move along in the job process, no matter what kind of contribution they made, you should thank them. They went out of their way, and they'll appreciate it. Bonus points if you write them by hand.

Give Your Thanks

At this time of year, everyone focuses on how you should be thankful for the good things in your life. However, a lot of people stop at the thinking -- they don't actually go about giving thanks to the people who've earned it. So this Thanksgiving, why don't you go ahead and give your thanks to the following people: • Your teachers. The people who have shown you how to do something and improve yourself deserve some recognition. They have made you a better person by offering their time, effort and guidance. Make sure they know that you appreciate that. • Your family. They probably drive you nuts a lot of the time, but you make them a little crazy too. These people have been there for you your whole life, making sure you didn't do anything too too stupid. Give them thanks -- they've earned it. • Your friends. It's easy to take your friends for granted, but they really don't have to be there. They go out of their way to make sure you've got everything you need, whether that's a gallon of ice cream or a road trip the beach. • Your coaches. Nobody has pushed you harder and further, which is why you're the person you are today. They always knew you had it in you to be better, faster, stronger, so they helped you get there. Reward their faith with your thanks.

It's official: Matt Damon has said he'll be a part of the Bourne series again in 2016. These action/thriller films are based on a series of novels by Robert Ludlum, and then Eric Van Lustbader after Robert's death. In anticipation for the new movie, The Bourne Betrayal, here's what you need to know about the first four movies. 1. The Bourne Identity. A man is floating in the Mediterranean Sea with gunshot wounds and the number of a Swiss safety deposit box. When he lands on shore, he finds a passport and other papers, money and a gun for Jason Bourne. He tries to figure out his identity while avoiding CIA assassination attempts. Jason realizes that he is an assassin who failed his latest mission. He meets up with Marie, who helps him remember and break his connections with the CIA. 2. The Bourne Supremacy. Years later, Jason is framed for a crime related to his past work. In attempts to kill him, Marie dies. He strives to hunt her killers and his past. He finds out Ward, one of the men involved with the assassin training program, stole millions from the CIA; he was trying to blame Jason. Jason then exposes Ward to Pamela, the CIA officer in charge of finding Jason. The agent who killed Marie dies, so Jason goes into hiding. 3. The Bourne Ultimatum. While hiding, Jason learns a journalist is investigating him, so he contacts him for his source. He is then targeted by a the leader, Noah Vosen, of a new assassin training program. Jason steals classified documents proving Noah has targeted U.S. citizens; he has the help of Pamela and a former tech, Nicky Parsons (who may have liked him before the amnesia). He exposes the assassin training program leaders and goes underground. 4. The Bourne Legacy. Aaron Cross is part of a program which enhances abilities through pills referred to as "chems." Aaron is sent to Alaska to find an exiled operative. With the FBI researching those involved in the assassin training programs, Eric Byer decides to kill Aaron's team. Aaron narrowly escapes and seeks more chems from Dr. Shearing. She has no pills, so the two travel to a factory so he doesn't "viral out." They avoid being killed and escape.
