A defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US Navy would expand its presence in the Mediterranean to four destroyers from three. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, en route to Asia, said Obama had asked the Pentagon for options on Syria, where an apparent chemical weapons attack that killed as many as 1,000 civilians has upped pressure on Washington to respond. “The Defense Department has responsibility to provide the president with options for all contingencies,” Hagel said. “And that requires posi- tioning our forces, positioning our assets, to be able to carry out different options - whatever options the presi- dent might choose.” He did not elaborate. The defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said the USS Mahan, a destroyer armed with cruise missiles, had finished its deployment and was due to head back to its home base in Norfolk, Virginia.

  • Genetic Structure in a Dynamic Baboon Hybrid Zone Corroborates Behavioural Observations in a Hybrid Population

In hybrid zones, the behaviour of the hybridizing taxa can also impact the incidence and outcome of hybridization events. Hybridization between yellow baboons and anubis baboons has been well documented in the Amboseli basin of Kenya, where more anubis-like individuals tend to experience maturational and reproductive advantages. However, it is unknown whether these advantages are reflected in the genetic structure of populations surrounding this area.

  • Apes and Elephants: in Search of Sensation in the Tropical Imaginary
    etropic 12.2 (2013): Tropics of the Imagination 2013 Proceedings | 156 Apes and Elephants: In Search of Sensation in the Tropical Imaginary Barbara Creed University of Melbourne This paper will explore the tropical exotic in relation to the widespread European fascination with tropical animals exhibited in zoos throughout the long nineteenth century. Zoos became places where human animals could experience the chill of a backbone shiver as they came face to face with the animal/other. It will examine the establishment of the first zoos in relation to Harriet Ritvo’s argument that their major imperative was one of classification and control. On the one hand, the zoo fulfilled the public’s desire for wild, exotic creatures while, on the other hand, the zoo reassured the public that its major purpose was control of the natural world encapsulated by the stereotype of tropical excess. I will argue that these various places of exhibition created an uncanny zone in which the European subject was able to encounter its animal self while reaffirming an anthropocentric world view. hroughout the long nineteenth century colonial dignitaries, administrators, and businessmen T captured large numbers of animals from tropical zones and shipped them back to populate European zoos, travelling menageries and fairgrounds. Expansive and well-stocked zoos signified Europe’s imperial might and its ability to impose order on the natural world. In the popular imagination, the tropics constituted an uncanny zone, which represented everything that was antithetical to the European world’s new obsession with order, classification and control. In a Foucauldian sense the zoo became a place, an apparatus, designed to establish a system of power relations between human and animal in which the wild animal body was to be disciplined until rendered docile.

  • FOCUS on VOCABULARY and LANGUAGE . . . to Unlock the Atom
    FOCUS ON VOCABULARY AND LANGUAGE . to unlock the atom and crack the genetic code . Humans have created many wonderful and amazing devices. We have also investigated and solved numerous questions about the physical world, such as the nature of the atom (we have unlocked the atom) and the structure of genes (we have cracked the genetic code). These examples illustrate how our shared intelligence (collective genius) has been utilized for innovative and creative endeavors. our species is kin to . Myers notes that we are biological creatures related to (kin to) other species of animals, and we are influenced by the same principles that produce learning in rats and pigeons. We have exceptional abilities for innovation, learning, memory, and rational thinking; yet, at the same time, we are prone to making mistakes and thinking and acting irrationally (we are not-so-wise humans). Thinking Concepts For most of us, the robin is the birdier bird . We develop our ideas of how things go together (our concepts) from definitions or by using prototypes. The best example (prototype) of a bird is a robin (it’s the birdier bird) rather than a penguin (or a kiwi, or an ostrich). Problem Solving: Strategies and Obstacles Thomas Edison tried thousands of light bulb filaments before stumbling upon one that worked. Thomas Edison was a famous inventor and he used trial and error to develop the metal filament that makes a light bulb glow brightly. Using trial and error, he came upon the solution by chance (he stumbled upon one that worked). Myers contrasts this method with following an algorithm (a step- by-step method that always ends with a solution and is typical of computer programs).
