Podcasts about Draco

Chapter 17 - A Sluggish Memory, covered by Sarah!We're visiting Tom Jr and his fun little visits to family members via Pensieve. And Harry is obsessed with Draco (aren't we all a little?), but Dumbledore wants the obsession on Slughorn.⚡️

Thanks to Jaxon for suggesting this week's topic, Coelurosauravus! Further reading: Coelurosauravus New Research Reveals Secrets of First-Ever Gliding Reptile The modern Draco lizard glides on "wings" made from extended rib bones: Coelurosauravus glided on wings that were completely different from any other wings known [art from the first link above]: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to learn about an extinct animal suggested by Jaxon. It's called Coelurosauravus and it lived around 255 million years ago in what is now Madagascar. Coelurosauravus was a member of the Weigeltisauridae family, reptiles whose fossils have been found not just in Madagascar but in parts of Europe, and maybe even North America (although we're not sure yet). They were gliding reptiles that probably lived in trees and ate insects and other small animals, sort of like modern gliding lizards. But while most gliding lizards are very small, Coelurosauravus grew over a foot long, or around 40 cm, and that's nowhere near the weirdest thing about it. To explain why Coelurosauravus was so very peculiar, we have to learn a little about other gliding reptiles. Back in episode 255 we learned about kuehneosaurids, and that's a good place to start. Kuehneosaurids lived around 225 million years ago in what is now England. This wasn't all that long after Coelurosauravus lived and not that far away from where some of its relations lived, but the two weren't related. Kuehneosaurus looked like a big lizard although this was before modern lizards evolved, but it was a reptile and it was even larger than Coelurosauravus. Kuehneosaurus grew about two feet long, or 70 cm, including a long tail, and probably lived in trees and ate insects. Kuehneosaurus glided on sail-like structures on its sides that were made from extended ribs with skin stretched over them. Its wings weren't all that big, although they were big enough that they could act as a parachute if the animal fell or jumped from a branch. Another gliding reptile, Kuehneosuchus, had wings that were much longer. In a study published in 2008, a team of scientists built models of kuehneosuchus and tested them in a wind tunnel used for aerospace engineering. It turned out to be quite stable in the air and could probably glide very well. We don't know a whole lot about the kuehneosaurids because we haven't found very many fossils. We're not even sure if the two species are closely related or not. We're not even sure they're not the same species. Individuals of both were uncovered in caves near Bristol in the 1950s, and some researchers speculate they were males and females of the same species. Despite the difference in wings, otherwise they're extremely similar in a lot of ways. Generally, researchers compare the kuehneosaurids to modern draco lizards, which we talked about in episode 237, even though they're not related. Draco lizards are much smaller, only about 8 inches long including the tail, or 20 cm, and live throughout much of southeastern Asia. Many gliding animals, like the flying squirrel, have gliding membranes called patagia that stretch from the front legs to the back legs, but the draco lizard is different. It has greatly elongated ribs that it can extend like wings, and the skin between the ribs acts as a patagium. This skin is usually yellow or brown so that the lizard looks like a falling leaf when it's gliding. Draco lizards can fold their wings down and extend them, which isn't something the kuehneosaurids appear to have been able to do. But now let's return to Coelurosauravus. It too had wing-like structures on its sides that consisted of skin stretched over bony struts. But in this case, the bones weren't elongated ribs. Coelurosauravus had about 30 pairs of long, flexible bones that extended from the sides of its belly, and it could open and close its wings like draco lizar...

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From May, 2024. Today's 2 topics: - Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks comes near the Sun once every 71 years.  It was discovered in 1812 by Jean Louis Pons at Marseilles, France and then rediscovered by American Astronomer William Robert Brooks in 1883. Electronic cameras reveal this comet's nucleus has jets of gas that produce a spiral structure not unlike water jets from a lawn sprinkler. - On the 3rd of March 2024 while asteroid hunting with our 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon , Arizona my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Kacper Wierzchoś discovered a comet moving through the constellation of Draco.Since we don't know Kacper's comet's chemical composition it is impossible to accurately predict how. bright it will be as it crosses the  Earth's orbit December 12, 2025, rounds the sun January 20, 2026, and crosses our orbit again February 27, 2026.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

On March 3, 2024 my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Kacper Wierzchos was asteroid hunting with our 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon, Arizona when he spotted a fuzzy object in the constellation of Draco.  After Kacper reported his discovery to the Minor Planet Center, observers in Arizona, New Mexico, and Tenerife confirmed it to be a comet and it was given the name C/2024 E1 (Wierzchos).  Kacper's discovery has a hyperbolic orbit indicating that after coming slightly closer to the Sun than the planet  Venus on January 21, 2026 it will be ejected from the solar system never to return.

Quem acompanha a escrita contemporânea sabe que a literatura latino-americana vive um grande momento. Quem está à frente dessa ótima fase junto aos leitores são, especialmente, as mulheres. E há uma marca em comum entre diversas autoras que vem sendo bastante lidas: o flerte ou a entrega ao horror. A equatoriana Mónica Ojeda, a boliviana Giovana Rivero e a argentina Mariana Enriquez são alguns exemplos dessa tendência. Mariana, aliás, é tratada como estrela pop em diversos cantos do mundo. Para compreender o que é exatamente esse horror e como ele se manifesta hoje nessa literatura que tanto me interessa que convidei Oscar Nestarez para o papo que vocês ouvirão a seguir. Oscar é doutor em Estudos Comparados de Literaturas de Língua Portuguesa pela USP e centra suas pesquisas nas diversas facetas do que costumamos chamar de literatura insólita. Ao lado de Júlio França, Oscar organizou a antologia “Tênebra – Narrativas Brasileiras de Horror”, cuja edição já publicada pela Fósforo olha para o terror brasileiro produzido entre 1839 e 1899. Oscar também é tradutor e escritor. Dentre suas obras estão o volume de contos “O Breu Povoado” e o romance “Bile Negra”, publicados pela Avec, e a novela Claroscuro”, que saiu pela Draco. A recepção da literatura de terror e a forma como ela circula por leitores de diferentes meios também foi assunto da nossa conversa. * Aqui o caminho para a newsletter da Página Cinco: https://paginacinco.substack.com/ ** A arte do episódio usa a pintura A Alma da Montanha, de Remedios Varo

Season 6 kicks off with a jam-packed conversation featuring Angie, Kimberly, and Danny. Angie shares her powerful experience attending the Uber/Lyft protest that took place on White Cane Day 2024, touching on the impact it had and the meaningful connections she made with blind creators on TikTok. The trio dives deep into the world of guide dogs—from the emotional bond between handler and dog to the tough decisions around whether or not to get one. They explore common hesitations, the responsibilities of maintaining a guide dog's training and hygiene, and the reality of facing ride-share denials. The conversation also tackles how handlers navigate cultural misconceptions about dogs, and the ongoing work of educating the public and drivers alike. Expect personal stories about Angie's guide dog Draco and Danny's former guide Teeva, a breakdown of guide dog schools versus privately trained dogs, and a real look at the challenges and triumphs of life with a working dog. If you've ever wanted the full picture of what it takes to own, trust, and advocate for a guide dog, this episode covers it all.

Send us a textKatie and Bridget be upstanders in the Dark Ages while they re-watch Katie's favorite movie from when she was 10: DragonHeart! It's a movie all about good vs. evil, medieval times, and possibly an interspecies romance between a dragon slayer and the last dragon... Or at least that's our fan theory for this movie! Come along as we meet Bowen, a knight of the old code turned dragon slayer, who's just trying to get by while his former student - Einon - literally ravages the land and destroys the kingdom after being given a second chance at life. When Bowen meets Draco, the last dragon left alive, the two team up for an America's Funniest Home Video style heist to get money and find companionship. With the help of some peasants, hijinks, and a possible King Arthur ghost, they decide to fight back against Einon and reclaim the land and their freedom! Spoiler alert: there may be some really sad dragon-related deaths in this movie so bring your tissues!!! Released in 1996, it stars Dennis Quaid, Sean Connery, Dina Meyer, Pete Postlethwaite, David Thewlis, and Jason Isaacs.

All is well until his harebrained colleague, the ever-dim Liam Rutherford, brings the cursed skull of Saint Valentine into the mix.[[Featuring Professors Dramione, nosy students and portraits, and Draco's quest to Live Attractively While Pink.]]Originally posted on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/62989351Special thank you you all the podficcers who lent their voices to the characters: mangotart_reads, Paper Crane Audiobooks, iggygiraffe, AMP Audiobooks, Pensieve Podfics, M+G Readings, meems_toandend, FanFixation, NoxTails, kitkat2kith, Panda Patronus, trillbyskinner, shizade, and lispodfics.

En esta edición del Saga Podcast el Necro nos habla del comic de Daredevil

The North Star is one of the most important beacons in the sky. It serves as a compass, pointing the way due north. And it also serves as the hub of the sky – all the other stars appear to circle around it as Earth turns on its axis. More than 4,000 years ago, the architects of Egypt used the North Star to align the pyramids of Giza. And more than four decades ago, Apollo astronauts used it to help guide them to the Moon. But the two groups were aided by different north stars. The Egyptians used a star called Thuban, in Draco, the dragon. The astronauts used Polaris, at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper. Thuban didn’t explode or fade away – it’s still in plain sight. Instead, Earth’s axis turned away from the star – an effect called precession. It’s caused by the gravitational tug of the Sun and Moon, which cause our planet to wobble like a spinning top. As it wobbles, the axis points toward different stars. Four thousand years ago, it aimed at Thuban. Today, it aims at Polaris. Over the next century, the pole will take slightly better aim at Polaris. Right now, the star is about two-thirds of a degree from where the axis is pointing. Around the year 2100, it’ll be less than half a degree from that spot. After that, though, the pole will move away from Polaris. By around the year 4100, it’ll take aim at a star that’s one constellation over, in Cepheus – a North Star to guide future generations.

The walls of freedom are closing in around Harry and his friends. Once again the hosts reflect on how the chapter, and Umbridge, applies to modern day US politics. Since Hermione has revealed that she jinxed the DA sign-up sheet, do we now think her actions were untoward? Do we feel bad for Marietta? Laura asks: Were we ever part of a student group that got disbanded? Umbridge unfairly allows Slytherin to continue playing Quidditch, while keeping Gryffindor in review. Is this in effort to control Harry? Hedwig's injury causes a stir, and McGonagall tries again to warn Harry what is happening at Hogwarts. Should magical animals be able to better communicate with humans? Is there a spell for that? Neville snaps. Is he justified in going after Draco? Will Draco ever learn? Umbridge v. Snape leaves us short of needing a mop or shovel. What did we learn from their encounter in Potions? Sirius delivers Molly's message. Is it fair for her to ask Ron not to participate in the DA? Is she living in the same world as everyone else? Odds and Ends covers Fred and George's latest (successful) attempt to obey school rules, and Crookshanks' love for Sirius.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 3, 2025 is: draconian • dray-KOH-nee-un • adjective Draconian describes something (often a law, policy, restriction, etc.) that is very severe or cruel. // The editorial criticizes the draconian measures being taken by city hall to rein in spending. See the entry > Examples: “The auras that surround the Sharks and the Hawks are wildly distinct, even if the teams' records are close to the same. To put it in Chicago terms, one team has the vibe of a Ferris Bueller (plays hooky, joins random parades, chicks dig him)—and the other is, I'm sorry to say, increasingly Principal Rooney–esque (grim faced, tightly wound, represents a draconian institution).” — Katie Baker, The Ringer, 15 Jan. 2025 Did you know? Draconian comes from Drakōn, the name (later Latinized as Draco) of a 7th-century B.C. Athenian legislator who created a written code of law. Drakōn's code was intended to clarify existing laws, but its severity is what made it really memorable. According to the code, even minor offenses were punishable by death, and failure to pay one's debts could result in slavery. Draconian, as a result, is used especially for authoritarian actions that are viewed as cruel or harsh.
