State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce has sparked condemnation
after a reporter unearthed an interview in which she said
the U.S. is the best country on Earth
“next to Israel,”
in yet another show of U.S. leaders’ capitulation to Israel
under a president who ran on the slogan “America First.”

Rubio Spokesperson Says US Is “Greatest Country on Earth Next to Israel”
The official said it’s her responsibility to ensure “every person on this planet” recognizes the importance of Israel.

Čech cohomology of infinite projective spaces, flag manifolds, and related spaces
We compute the Čech cohomology ring of a countable product of infinite projective spaces, and that of an infinite flag manifold. The method of our first result in fact computes the cohomology ring (with integer coefficients) of a countably infinite product of paracompact Hausdorff spaces, under some mild assumptions.

foodweb_little_rock: Little Rock Lake food web (1991)
A food web among the species found in Little Rock Lake in Wisconsin. Nodes are taxa (like species), either autotrophs, herbivores, carnivores or decomposers. Edges represent feeding (nutrient transfer) of one taxon on another.
This network has 183 nodes and 2494 edges.

DNA study shows feral cats killing more reintroduced native species than estimated
Research tracking released bilbies and bettongs in remote SA has found feral cats are their biggest killer.

foodweb_baywet: Florida cypress wetlands food web (1998)
Networks of carbon exchanges among species in the cypress wetlands of South Florida. One network covers the wet and the other the dry season. Each node represents a taxon (similar to a species), and a directed edge indicates that one taxon uses another as food.
This network has 128 nodes and 2106 edges.

Matrix Invariants as Homotopy Invariants in Finite $T_0$-spaces

Matrix Invariants as Homotopy Invariants in Finite $T_0$-spaces
We establish a bijection between the set of finite topological $T_0$-spaces (or partially ordered sets) and classes of square matrices. The absolute value of the determinant or the rank of these matrices are simple homotopy invariants for the corresponding topological spaces, and consequently, for finite simplicial complexes. We calculate these invariants for various families of topological spaces and explore other relationships and problems posed for finite posets within the context of these m…

US proposes adding seven pangolin species to Endangered Species Act
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has recently proposed listing seven species of pangolins, the most trafficked mammals on the planet, under the Endangered Species Act. If finalized, an ESA listing would prohibit the import and sale of pangolins and their parts in the U.S., except for scientific or conservation purposes. It would also open […]
