Just as he was the (extremely high) parasite selection “Number 1” in SPECTRE (SPecial pressure on honey bees. Let the “weak” die Executive for Counter-intelligence, out so that only the “strong” will survive and Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion), Blofeld leave us with resistant bees. quite obviously represents public enemy #1 to beekeepers, which of course is the varroa There have been several studies that have mite: ubiquitous, insidious, and devastating. used this approach in an effort to breed bees tolerant or even outright resistant to varroa. To take the analogy just a little bit further, These studies have shown that it is possible Blofeld’s character was summarily for bees to be able to co-exist with mites dispatched in the opening scene of Roger without the need of beekeeper intervention Moore’s debut Live and Let Die (and hence (particularly with chemical controls). In the demise of SPECTRE from the film doing so, there is a raging debate as to the franchise). Some beekeepers and apiculture means by which this new harmonious scientists have argued that the same approach balance is reached: by fostering resistance is the best answer to finally defeating varroa among the bees, or by avirulence among the mites. mites. The “live and let die” approach to varroa The answer? Both. Evidence on the control is based on the premise to allow (continued on page 10, see “resistance”) Bond villains, from http://www.adamtglass.com. 9 (“resistance”, continued from page 9) He then raised new queens from one of the “resistance” side, a research team in Europe captured feral colonies, let them mate in the let an isolated population in Sweden of honey forest, transferred them back to his research bees go unmanaged for 7 years. They called station, and placed them along side an equal it the “Bond Project”, since they were letting number of hives headed by commercially them Live and Let Die (and no, I’m not produced queens. He then measured each of making that up). This population survived the six pairs of ‘Arnot Forest’ hives and varroa-mite parasitism without chemical ‘New Carniolan’ hives for mite levels every treatment, letting those that succumbed die month, again using sticky boards. He showed and those that lived reproduce. that mite levels increased over the course of the summer, and they did so similarly in both The researchers then produced queens from types of colonies in each pair. These results these ‘Bond colonies’, placed them into suggest that the feral bees were not resistant standard commercial hives, and compared to the mites in some way, but rather that the them with those headed by queens from mites are more virulent in a managed setting Control colonies (main-land hives regularly compared to a feral setting. treated for varroa using standard chemical applications). Not only were the mite levels So these studies show that it is indeed lower in the Bond colonies compared to possible to reach a new balance with varroa controls, subsequent genomic studies showed mites by letting bees “live and let die”. that there were indeed genetic differences However, such an approach will ONLY work between the two bee populations, showing under certain conditions. that selection really did change the host bees First, the honey bee population needs to be towards being more tolerant of mites. isolated. Selection only works in closed populations so that the favorable alleles have For evidence on the “avirulence” side, Tom a chance to increase in frequency. So if you Seeley at Cornell University discovered a take a live-and-let-die approach but then buy population of feral honey bees, all infested new packages from out-of-state to replenish with varroa mites, living in an isolated nature your colonies every year, you will never preserve in upstate New York. He measured make any progress and your bees (and mites) mite levels in the hives using sticky boards will never be selected for resistance (and over the course of the summer and showed avirulence). that the number of mites remained relatively low over time (maximum mite drop of 21 Second, a closed population has to be mites in 24 hours, well below the suggested sufficiently large to start out with sufficient threshold for being a problem for the bees). (Continued on page 12, see genetic) 10 (genetic, continued from page 10) collapse,” particularly among beekeepers genetic diversity and allow genetic change who “live and let die” but do not account for while avoiding inbreeding. Population a closed population or routine mite genetic studies have shown that this requires monitoring. at least 50 colonies or more to make this If the Bond villains teach us anything, it is possible. that the criminal mind comes in many forms. Third, survival is a very general trait; that is, But unlike Bond’s ability to eventually many other factors influence whether or not a overcome the seemingly impossible odds, colony dies (e.g., nutrition, other diseases, there is no simple or magical solution. So if etc…). Thus the rate of selection for varroa you do subscribe to a live-and-let-die tolerance is much increased by measuring the approach to beekeeping, this inherently trait in question (varroa mites). So you will assumes that you keep your population never make a lot of progress by letting bees closed and isolated, have a sufficiently large live and let die if you don’t routinely measure number of colonies (>50 hives), and the mite levels in your colonies. routinely monitor your mite levels.

Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL May 2019 Copyright 2019 by Grant C. Hester ii MALE BONDING: A QUEER ANALYSIS OF THE JAMES BOND CANON by Grant C. Hester This dissertation was prepared under the direction of the candidate's dissertation advisor, Dr. Jane Caputi, Center for Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Communication, and Multimedia and has been approved by the members of his supervisory committee. It was submitted to the faculty of the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters and was accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Khaled Sobhan, Ph.D. Interim Dean, Graduate College iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jane Caputi for guiding me through this process. She was truly there from this paper’s incubation as it was in her Sex, Violence, and Hollywood class where the idea that James Bond could be repressing his homosexuality first revealed itself to me. She encouraged the exploration and was an unbelievable sounding board every step to fruition. Stephen Charbonneau has also been an invaluable resource. Frankly, he changed the way I look at film. His door has always been open and he has given honest feedback and good advice. Oliver Buckton possesses a knowledge of James Bond that is unparalleled. I marvel at how he retains such information.

    FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE -IAN FLEMING Roshni Subba Assistant Professor Department of English University of Calcutta Presentation created for the students of the Department of English,University of Calcutta by Roshni Subba ABOUT IAN FLEMING • Ian Lancaster Fleming was born on born on 28 May 1908, in Mayfair district of London. • He first worked at Reuters News Agency as a journalist, then as a stockbroker briefly, before becoming a Naval intelligence officer. • But most importantly, he is an English author, known for his James Bond series of novels, based on the character of the English spy called James Bond. • He wrote twelve Bond novels, two works of non-fictions, short stories and, also a children’s classic called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. • Casino Royale was his first among the Bond series, published in 1953. • His wartime experiences as a member of Naval Intelligence Division and the people he met during the war shaped his writings. Presentation created for the students of the Department of English,University of Calcutta by Roshni Subba Casino Royale (1953) • One day, on his way to U.S , where he had to go often to settle security collaborations between the two Allies, he stopped at Portugal. He spent an evening at Casino Estoril with Rear Admiral John Godfrey and that is when he was creative enough to think about an idea for his first novel. • As he was leaving the casino he tells Godfrey, that it would have been so much fun if they had won the money from the German agents. And this sets the idea for the plot of Casino Royale, where James Bond’s mission is to take over the SMERSH agent Le Chiffre at the gaming table.
