Garden Of Bones Torrent

Daenerys receives word from Kovarro that the nearby city of Qarth welcomes the "Mother of Dragons". Daenerys asked Ser Jorah what he knows of Qarth but he only knows that it is surrounded by a desert known as the "Garden of Bones" and that every time they shut the gates on a traveler, "the garden grows".

In the Red Waste, Daenerys Targaryen's rider Kovarro returns on a horse given to him in the city of Qarth. Ser Jorah Mormont warns Dany that the area outside the city's gates is known as the Garden of Bones - and if the gates don't open for her, their bodies will add to the garden. With little other choice, she takes her khalasar to Qarth, where the city's rulers, known as the Thirteen, meet the Dothraki outside the walls. The wealthy merchant leaders ask to see her dragons, but she does not reveal them. At that, the Thirteen turn their backs - except for one man, Xaro Xhoan Daxos. He opens his palm with a dagger, swearing to vouch for Dany and her people. The gates open.

Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish arrives at King Renly Baratheon's camp as a political envoy from King Joffrey Baratheon at King's Landing. He tries to gain Renly's trust by implying that if Renly does march on the capital, he will help take down the Lannisters from within (it is unclear if he is lying, but he is also ready to jump ship if the Lannisters lose, and Stannis is not an option, because Stannis despises Littlefinger); Renly is tempted by the notion, despite his dislike for Littlefinger. Littlefinger then has a conversation with Queen Margaery Tyrell in which he tries to intimidate her by hinting that her husband is homosexual. He does not anticipate that Margaery seems to already know and not to care. Margaery is not a naive ingenue like Sansa Stark but versed in court strategies: she honestly believes that Renly is the best candidate for king, and voluntarily entered into a paper marriage to secure the political alliance between Renly and House Tyrell. Baelish then meets with Catelyn Stark, who is still furious at his betrayal of her husband to his death. Baelish first tries to kindle a romance with her, saying that now they are both free, it may be that they can be together. Catelyn simply draws a dagger and demands that he stop speaking. Discouraged, he moves on to present Tyrion's offer that the Lannisters want to make a prisoner exchange with the Starks: if they release Jaime Lannister, Queen Cersei will release both Sansa Stark and Arya Stark (Baelish lies about the Lannisters having Arya). Catelyn insists that Robb would never allow the exchange, but Littlefinger tries to manipulate her love for her imprisoned daughters. As a show of good faith from Tyrion, Baelish brings forward a pair of Silent Sisters carrying a box containing the remains of Ned Stark. Deeply grieving, Catelyn tells Petyr to get out. She looks at the bones with pain, but then shuts the box with a look of resolve on her face.

The Garden of Bones is the desert surrounding the city of Qarth, lying between the port city and the Red Waste. It is called so because it is filled with the bones of travelers who have been denied entry to Qarth and have perished due to thirst and exposure.

Magnesium and zinc are just part of the picture. Bone meal increases phosphorous in soil for optimal spring gardening results. Essential in the development of strong root systems, this element is released into the soil for up to four months. Slow, steady delivery of nutrients helps you grow plenty of big, blooming flowers, fruits, and vegetables. Calcium is another important meal component. When plants get proper light and water, this essential mineral helps them form healthy cells.

Eco-morphological convergence, i.e., similar phenotypes evolved in ecologically convergent taxa, naturally reproduces a common-garden experiment since it allows researchers to keep ecological factors constant, studying intrinsic evolutionary drivers. The latter may result in differential evolvability that, among individual anatomical parts, causes mosaic evolution. Reconstructing the evolutionary morphology of the humerus and femur of slow arboreal mammals, we addressed mosaicism at different bone anatomical spatial scales. We compared convergence strength, using it as indicator of evolvability, between bone external shape and inner structure, with the former expected to be less evolvable and less involved in convergent evolution, due to anatomical constraints. We identify several convergent inner structural traits, while external shape only loosely follows this trend, and we find confirmation for our assumption in measures of convergence magnitude. We suggest that future macroevolutionary reconstructions based on bone morphology should include structural traits to better detect ecological effects on vertebrate diversification.

The long-standing issue of understanding how phenotypic diversity has evolved1,2,3 involves disentangling extrinsic (i.e., ecological) and intrinsic (e.g., phylogenetic, genetic, developmental) effects. The latter determines the evolvability. This biological emerging property is the propensity to evolve in response to opportunity4 and has become a major topic in evolutionary studies4,5. Studying evolutionary patterns associated with similar ecological conditions (i.e., opportunity), we are able to factor out extrinsic drivers4. The widespread eco-morphological convergence, i.e., independently evolved morphological similarity associated with convergent ecologies, reproduces this experimental design and was compared to a common-garden experiment by Jablonski4. Accordingly, differences in morphological convergence strength, often arising from the study of ecologically convergent lineages on phylomorphospaces, potentially reveal gradients of evolvability.

In accordance with our expectations, the common-garden experiment here addressed reveals the stronger evolvability of bone structure compared to shape. Indeed, humeral and femoral structural traits discriminate slow arboreal mammals from their non-slow arboreal close relatives. Moreover, structural features reflect stronger convergence and explain major convergence patterns of slow arboreal mammals. These findings may contribute to redirect vertebrate evolution reconstructions considering that, thus far, they mostly relied on bone external shape information.

In the last decades, convergence became apparent as a rampant and ubiquitous evolutionary process, in fact overturning the traditional view that saw it as marginal or occasional49. This renewed attention has been reflected by a plethora of studies addressing diverse aspects of convergence8,50,51 including its contribution to elucidate broader issues in biology, e.g., how evolvability varies in nature4. Eco-morphological convergence mirrors a macroevolutionary common-garden experiment4 and enables us to use convergence patterns as indicators of evolvability to detect mosaic evolution.

Summarising, we here detected patterns of differential convergence among bone features at different spatial scales and interpreted this outcome as differences in evolvability among the studied anatomical levels. We achieved this aim by leveraging (i) the natural experiment provided by eco-morphological convergence, i.e., comparable to a common-garden experiment sensu Jablonski, (ii) the study system of the humerus and the femur and (iii) the case study of convergently evolved slow arboreal mammals. We highlight that the convergence magnitude of bone internal structure exceeds that of bone external shape, hence leading us to propose that the former is characterised by a stronger tendency to evolve. This pattern fully mirrors our expectation, i.e., a weaker convergence and evolvability of bone shape in comparison to internal structure, explained by stronger anatomical constraints and likely associated with phylogenetic conservatism. Our findings generalise previous observations made in more restricted phylogenetic contexts, which led us to propose that this pattern might be a common tendency broadly applicable to the phenotypic evolution of the skeletal system. Further investigations may contribute to elucidate the nature of the mechanisms behind the more conserved evolution of shape compared to structure, potentially following several perspectives, e.g., studies of ontogeny, modularity and integration.

Want to give your garden a boost with bone meal, but concerned about where your bone meal comes from? It's SO easy to make at home! This post will tell you all you need to make your own organic bone meal right at home!

Meat is eaten. Pelts are cured and used. Even some of the feathers get used. But...after we've eaten a roast or a chicken, and used the remnants to make broth, there's still that leftover pile of bones that just get sent to the compost heap.

And while that compost does get used on the garden and doesn't go to waste, I have felt that I'm missing an opportunity by not making better use of the wonderful phosphorous and other nutrients left in the bones, in a more targeted way.

So I decided to start making my own bone meal with my leftover bones, to use as an organic phosphorus supplement for houseplants, and also to apply directly around garden plants. Phosphorous is especially important for growing robust, healthy root systems.

My first step in the bone meal making process is always to make broth from the bones. The benefit of this is that you get two batches of wonderful broth out of the bones, and then make your bone meal. I do this in one of two ways:

Instant Pot Method: Cover bones with water to the 2/3 mark. Add a splash of vinegar and a couple teaspoons of salt. Lock lid, and make sure steam valve is in the closed position. Cook on the "Soup" setting for two hours. Drain broth and repeat for a second batch.

Crock Pot Method: Cover bones with water, add splash of vinegar and a teaspoon or two of salt. Cover and cook on low for about 12 hours. Pour off the broth, and repeat for a second batch. be457b7860
