It is a member of the molosser breed group. The American Staffordshire Terrier and The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) by breed are from the same lineage; Staffordshires was the name given by AKC, and American Pit Bull Terriers by UKC. The real difference between the two breeds is 6–8" in height and 25–35 lb in weight; the American Staffordshire Terrier being the larger of the two. The dog was bred first to bait bulls and bears. The American Pit Bull is medium-sized, and has a short coat and smooth well-defined muscle structure. Twelve countries in Europe, as well as Australia, Canada, Ecuador, Malaysia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Singapore, and Venezuela have enacted some form of breed-specific legislation on pit bull-type dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers, ranging from outright bans to restrictions and conditions on ownership.

(via Weird Universe, Daily Record, The Sun) Your morning adorable: Baby Francois' langur monkey makes his debut at Australia's Taronga Zoo At the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, a great deal of excitement surrounds the latest addition to the resident family of Francois' langur monkeys. A male Francois' langur named Keo-co was born Jan. 30 and ventured into an outdoor enclosure for the first time on Wednesday. Keo-co's older sister, Elke, was born in 2009 and was the first offspring for mother Saigon. Unfortunately, Saigon didn't immediately take to motherhood and zoo staff elected to raise Elke themselves in order to ensure that she was healthy and well cared for. (Elke is now fully grown and still lives at Taronga, but she occupies a different enclosure than Saigon.) This time around, Saigon seems to have gotten the hang of parenting and the zoo reports that Keo-co is extremely bonded to her. Francois' langur monkeys are native to parts of Vietnam and China. See more photos and a video of Keo-co after the jump! -- Lindsay Barnett

That is to say, there is no 'logic' in our normal undertanding of logic. This understanding is based on passive surface information systems. At the same time, the juxtaposition is a logic of action. JUXTAPOSITIONAs many readers will know, the random juxtaposition is one of the many tools of lateral thinking. • What has smell to do with a copier? Smell is a sensation. • What could smell be used for? When copiers run out of paper or toner, there is usually a light signal - perhaps a red light. SMELL SIGNALWhat about a 'smell signal'? There could be different smells for different things. MOVEMENTThe above example illustrates the process of 'movement', which can be practised until a skill is built up in this operation. For example, one way of getting movement is 'to extract a concept, principle or feature from the provocation' and to work with that. There is no point in using so obvious a connection.

Dormouse blissfully unaware he was saved from the jaws of death By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 15:51 GMT, 16 March 2010 A hibernating dormouse curls up in the palm of a hand, blissfully unaware he has just been rescued from almost certain death in sub-zero temperatures. The tiny animal can only be held for just a few seconds because its carer's warming touch would wake it prematurely. Dormouse expert Dave Williams saved the three-inch creature from a back garden where he was left exposed to frost, wind and rain. Nap time: The hibernating dormouse curls up in the palm of a hand after being rescued from sub-zero temperatures in a back garden A gardener accidently raked its woven grass nest from under a box hedge he had trimmed near Leatherhead, Surrey. It may have died if left exposed to freezing temperatures or struggled to find the seeds, nuts and berries it eats if woken early. Mr Williams, from Surrey Wildlife Trust, examined the nest and found the mouse was healthy and sleeping inside. It is nocturnal and a protected species.
