Professor Richard Crowther's comments come as a group of space experts called for a co-ordinated science-led response to the asteroid threat. The Association of Space Explorers (ASE) says missions to intercept asteroids will need global approval. The UN will meet in February to discuss the issue. In the ASE report, the group of scientists and former astronauts point to the historical record to highlight the dangers of asteroids; an impact 65 million years ago may have wiped out the dinosaurs, and the Tunguska impact in 1908 produced a 2,000 sq km fire in Siberia, big enough to engulf a city the size of New York. They say the next major threatening event could occur in less than 20 years. Asteroid Apophis is due to pass close to the Earth and analyses suggest a one in 45,000 chance of a collision. An impact by Apophis would generate the equivalent of a 500 megatonne blast, at least 100 times more powerful than the Siberian event. Professor Crowther of Britain's Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), is the chair of the UN Working Group on Near Earth Objects. He says the threat needs to be taken seriously. 3 Infoteca’s E-Journal No. 51 December 2008 Sistema de Infotecas Centrales Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila "The issue is it's a single event, potentially causing a large number of casualties," be told BBC News. The UN broadly agrees that action is necessary, though what form this should take is still under discussion. Collision course Professor Crowther welcomed the ASE report and said it would be discussed by the UN action team tasked with coming up with a plan, when they meet next February. "A lot of what's in the report is consistent with what we're suggesting anyway, there needs to be effective scientific co-ordination, enough observatory time, and people looking in the right place at the right time." The document says most asteroids entering the Earth's atmosphere are small and burn up before reaching the surface. But it is the larger ones - perhaps 200m or more across - that would need to be deflected away from a collision course with the Earth. The researchers propose several ways of doing this, the most extreme methods being to crash a spacecraft into the asteroid to knock it off course, or to set off a nuclear explosion. They say the earlier the threat is dealt with, the less drastic the course of action need be. Professor Crowther says the natural forces of gravity can be used to deflect asteroids in many situations. "We can use the natural attraction of a probe to one of the bodies, to slowly pull the object away." He says if done at sufficient distance from the Earth, the orbit of an asteroid can be changed slightly to take it away from a collision path. ASE propose combining scientific monitoring and research with a global political strategy. Professor Crowther says the scientific consensus is already broadly in place, but political consensus may take longer. "We have to decide on a political framework, who's going to act and under what authority. That's clearly a role for the UN within the next two to three years. The key is to get it done before it's needed, when people are much more reasonable, rational and objective."

By: Tom Jacobs | December 01, 2008 | 11:48 AM (PST) That winking emoticon may be more revealing than we realize, ; ) . A new study suggests people are more likely to lie using e-mail than other forms of written communication. In the latest in an ongoing series of studies of how our behavior changes when we interact via e-mail, researchers Terri Kurtzberg of the Rutgers University Business School, Charles Naquin of DePaul University and Liuba Belkin of Lehigh University report many people feel free to fib using the popular form of high-tech communication. Their paper, which has yet to be published, strongly suggests the "e" in e-mail does not stand for "ethics." "In previous studies, we found there was less trust, less cooperation in e-mail communications," Kurtzberg said in a telephone interview.

"The result is both an exhilarating and emotive Festival in which traditional mythologies are suspended, discoveries are made, and creative storytelling is embraced." "Audiences may be surprised by how much emotion this year's films evoke," said John Cooper, Director of Programming, Sundance Film Festival. "We are seeing the next evolution of the independent film movement where films focus on storytelling with a sense of connection and purpose." For the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, 118 feature-length films were selected including 88 world premieres, 18 North American premieres, and 4 U.S. premieres representing 21 countries with 42 first-time filmmakers, including 28 in competition.

  • Marketing at the Museum
    FRANCE Marketing at the Museum BY ZOÉ COSSON To celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the Louvre Pyramid by (recently deceased) archi- tect Ieoh Ming Pei, the museum joined forces with Airbnb for a kind of sweepstake. To- gether they offer a winning couple the chance to drink an aperitif alongside the Mona Lisa and dine before the Venus de Milo before curling up in bed in one of the museum rooms. It’s all part of a new era in experiential marketing. It is nothing new, or rare, to privatize the galleries of the Musée du Louvre, hundreds of movies are shot there each year. However skepticism, even criticism of the Louvre is moun- ting, for instance by other international museums, in a collective questioning of conservation ethics, notably when it comes to the spiritual protection of artworks. Indeed, conservation implies protecting pieces from physical alterations but also from moral ones. In this light, it is valid to analyze the relationships nurtured by public cultural institutions with corporations or private interests. After granting permission for the controversial video shoot Apeshit by Beyoncé and JAY-Z, where the singer can be seen dancing in front of masterpieces, the Louvre also opened its doors to the French televised game show Questions pour un champion in August 2018. The show attracted 1,5 million French viewers, whereas the Apeshit video had over 160 million views. For the biggest museum in the world, it’s an easy calculation: use media to increase visibility, update its image and diversify clientele. Essentially, the former residence of French kings seems ready today to do anything that will draw numbers, abandoning the arts in support of the tourism and cultural industries.
