"Game of Thrones" leading lady Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) is no longer just a fictional creation. A newly discovered sea slug was named after the Khaleesi in a recently published paper.
Felipe de Vasconcelos Silva, Victor Manuel De Azevedoa and Helena Matthews-Cascona named the slug Tritonia khaleesi in a paper published to "The Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom." The researchers tell website Papelpop that the slug's pale plumes were reminiscent of Dany's blonde braided hair, particularly in "the last episode of the first season of the show."
Here's the official research article of the Tritonia khaleesi from the Cambridge University Press:
"A new species of the family Tritoniidae is described from the tropical South Atlantic Ocean. The animal was found off north-east Brazil. Tritonia khaleesi sp. nov. is up to 12 mm long, with a slender white body, of which the notum is covered with one...

Court rules that suspension of Presunto Culpable, which explores flaws in justice system, violated freedom of information
An appeals court has overturned a judge's order to halt screenings of an acclaimed documentary that investigates the flaws in Mexico's secretive justice system.
The court in Mexico City ruled that suspending the film violated freedom of information. The decision came a day after the Cinépolis theatre chain pulled Presunto Culpable [Presumed Guilty] to comply with a judge's earlier order to suspend screenings.
Cinépolis, which had appealed against the documentary ban, said it would resume screenings as soon as it was officially notified of the latest ruling.
The film centres on Antonio Zuniga, 26, who was convicted of a 2005 murder based on scant evidence. The process was documented by his lawyers, who filmed the hearings with the permission of the trial judge.
Last week, a judge ordered authorities to halt showings, pending hearings on a complaint...

The Obama administration has been hinting at a possible thaw in the half-century standoff with Cuba, and on Sunday, Colombian pop star Juanes did his best to further the cause by headlining a massive concert for peace in Havana's famed Plaza de la Revolución.
Playing in front of several hundred thousand fans at the Peace Without Borders concert, Juanes bucked the authoritarian regime led by the Castro brothers by chanting, "Cuba libre! Cuba libre!" ("Free Cuba!") before segueing into a call for "One Cuban family! One Cuban family!" He was appealing to the many Cuban exiles who, according to The Miami Herald, had criticized the show because they feared it would appear to lend support to the authoritarian communist Castro regime. In an ominous and telling sign,...
