UFO fans in Indonesia on why extraterrestrial life should be taken seriously in a country wedded to the occult Members report mysterious sightings in the night sky and discuss extraterrestrial-related topics, such as foo fighters (not the rock band, but a second world war term for mysterious aerial phenomena) and plans by the American space agency Nasa and its associates, including the Artemis programme’s aim to send 13 astronauts to Mars. Beta-UFO members believe it is time to take the possibility of extraterrestrial life seriously. “We live in a time where many countries, such as China and India, are focused on exploration, including the possibility of life out there,” says Michael, who thinks Indonesia needs to play a part too.

3D en educación: Del cine al aula tic El mundo de la animación ha avanzado de forma muy rápida dentro del campo de la educación en los últimos años, especialmente en EEUU y Reino Unido. Muchas empresas llevan años mostrando proyectores que permiten visualizar imágenes en tres dimensiones con la ayuda de unas gafas especiales. Pero el contenido académico había sido hasta ahora muy limitado para aprovechar esta cara tecnología en clase. Sin embargo, en BETT 2012, la feria más importante de tecnología aplicada a la educación, se presentaron interesantes aplicaciones de software con contenido académico en 3D, aunque mayoritariamente en inglés. Según los centros educativos que llevan tiempo utilizando estas herramientas, esta tecnología facilita especialmente el aprendizaje de conceptos complejos y abstractos de forma especialmente cautivadora al ser muy visual. “La clase será como un planetario.

The case for shutting down almost everything, and restarting when coronavirus is gone | John Daley Nobody likes talking about the Covid-19 endgame, but we need to choose one. The appropriate interventions – public health, government spending, and freedom of movement – all depend on the endgame we choose. The differences between endgames amount to tens of thousands of avoidable deaths, hundreds of thousands of avoidable hospital admissions, and deep and systemic impacts on Australia’s economy and society. Many discussions are underestimating the likely political reactions when death counts rise. They are also underestimating the economic and social consequences of an open-ended epidemic that will have enormous real-world impacts on small and medium businesses, as well as many not-for-profit organisations in every sector of the economy and society. We are not facing up to the social consequences if many close, and credit markets collapse. We see three possible endgames. None are attractive, but one is better than the others. Endgame A: flatten the curve It’s not really plausible.

Achille Mbembe: Necropolitics Key Concept The economic and political management of human populations through their exposure to death has become a global phenomenon. Wars, genocides, refugee “crisis”, ecocide and contemporary processes of pauperization and precarization reveal how increasing masses of individuals are now governed through their direct and indirect exposure to death. In order to unpack those processes, Achille Mbembe came up with the notion of necropolitics, first in 2003 with an essay bearing the same name, and then in 2016, with the book Politiques de l’inimitié, translated and published in English in 2019, as Necropolitics. With this latter notion, Mbembe explores and radicalizes Foucault’s concept of biopolitics. In the last lecture of “Society must be Defended” and in the last chapter of The History of Sexuality (Vol.1), Foucault noticed how biopolitics, that is, the positive power over life can become a deadly form of power. The subjugation of life to the power of death Less human than human
