House of the Dragon: Who is the Crabfeeder? - Dexerto

Image
A distant threat has washed ashore and put themselves on a collision course with the House of the Dragon – but who is the Crabfeeder? Game of Thrones had countless villains roaming the Known World: among its most titanic and nasty were the Night King, Ramsay Bolton, Cersei, Joffrey, and the High Sparrow; and there's the smaller players, like Karl Tanner, Viserys Targaryen, and Locke. House of the Dragon's scope – for now, at least – isn't as wide. Westeros is every bit as epic, but the rippling tensions are limited to the Red Keep and its royal residents; namely, House Targaryen and the Small Council. Episode 2 maintains this focus, but it begins and ends on scenes surrounding a mysterious "Crabfeeder" – who is he, and will he be a major threat in House of the Dragon? Spoilers for House of the Dragon Episode 2 to follow… House of the Dragon Episode 2 introduces the Crabfeeder Episode 2 opens on a beach. Not the snow-white, heavenly kind, but one where ...

The best waterfront restaurants in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach - Soul Grown

Image
(Cobalt the Restaurant/Facebook) If you don't have children in school, this may be the perfect time to hit Alabama's beaches. The weather is still warm, but not too hot. The water is still warm, but not too cold. And the size of the crowds at beachside amenities is just right. That means it's also easier to get a table offering a waterside view at restaurants in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores.  If you're like me, before leaving home for a vacation, you've researched dining options at your destination and picked out a few places. Maybe one is an indulgence. Maybe the noshes at another will pair well with happy hour drinks. Maybe one serves something you've never tried. I'm also a firm believer that, if I can see the water, my best meal will come out of that water. That's a good rule of thumb in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. Some seafood specialists along the coast make just about every must-try list. Places like Fisher's at Orange Beach...

Brown anole lizard helps solve breathing problems with ultimate simplicity - News-Medical.Net

Image
When it comes to studying lungs, humans take up all the air, but it turns out scientists have a lot to learn from lizards. A new study from Princeton University shows how the brown anole lizard solves one of nature's most complex problems -; breathing -; with ultimate simplicity. Whereas human lungs develop over months and years into baroque tree-like structures, the anole lung develops in just a few days into crude lobes covered with bulbous protuberances. These gourd-like structures, while far less refined, allow the lizard to exchange oxygen for waste gases just as human lungs do. And because they grow quickly by leveraging simple mechanical processes, anole lungs provide new inspiration for engineers designing advanced biotechnologies. Our group is really interested in understanding lung development for engineering purposes. If we understand how lungs build themselves, then perhaps we can take advantage of the mechanisms mother nature uses to regenerate or engineer ti...

Why do animals love to bask in the sun? (Hint: It's not just to stay warm.) - National Geographic

Image
Every summer, beaches around the world fill up with sprawled-out sunbathers, but humans aren't the only ones who make it a point to soak in the sun. Across the animal kingdom, creatures big and small meet biological needs by basking in the rays of Earth's closest star. This includes familiar sun-lovers like lizards and other reptiles, as well as countless species less well known for their sunbathing habits, from frogs to monarch butterflies to hippos. Even birds like a good sun session: Avians from at least 50 families periodically perch or fly to the ground, stretch out their wings, and bake themselves like beach bums working on a tan. ( These delightful pictures show how animals enjoy sunbathing .) Scientists continue to unravel clues about why animals actively lounge in the sun, a time-consuming practice that can leave some vulnerable to predation. Here's what's known about this intriguing behavior. Maintaining temperature Many creatures bask in the sun to control th...

Celebrating 10 years: FedEx Purple Eagle honorees then and now - St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

A fter he was found to have acute lymphoblastic leukemia at just 19 months old, Riley underwent two-and-a-half years of chemotherapy at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

"He is healthy and strong and growing constantly," said his grandmother, Kim. "He has so much energy...
