Nations en perdition : toujours plus d’"#États_faillis" ?
C’est en 2005 que le magazine Foreign Policy et le think tank américain #Fund_for_Peace ont publié pour la première fois une liste des États faillis. L’expression « #Failed_State », qui peut aussi se traduire par État en déliquescence, désigne un territoire où le pouvoir en place ne parvient plus à assurer ses missions essentielles.

« Pourquoi, vous Français, donnez-vous constamment l’impression de ne pas croire en votre langue ? »
À l’occasion de la semaine de la langue française et de la Francophonie, la secrétaire d’Etat chargée du développement et de la francophonie, Annick Girardin, se prononce sur l’usage de l’anglais en milieu professionnel. A travers une lettre ouverte aux acteurs du monde du travail, elle pointe certaines absurdités linguistiques pour rappeler que la langue française est un atout pour la France et que chacun peut y contribuer à sa façon.

Happy New Year!

We’re back! After a pause over the festive period to recharge our batteries (hoping that Philae will soon do the same), the #Rosetta blog has now reopened for business. Welcome back to all of you!

#music of the Irregular Spheres
▻http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2014/12/19/music-of-the-irregular-spheres
This blog post is contributed by Mark McCaughrean, senior science advisor in the Directorate of Science and Robotic Exploration at ESA. The rather tortured title of this post is intended as a humorous reference to the decidedly non-spherical shape of #Comet_67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the target of our #Rosetta mission. It also refers to the philosophical concept of ‘musica universalis’ or ‘music of the spheres’, usually attributed to Pythagoras, Ptolemy, and other ancient philosophers and scientists. They suggested that the proportions of the distances of the celestial bodies in the Solar System thought to be orbiting the Earth could be assigned tones, much as the pitch of a note coming from a plucked string is related to the length of that string. This theory was later developed further by (...)

Behind the scenes of ‘The #singing_comet’
▻http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2014/12/19/behind-the-scenes-of-the-singing-comet
Last month, shortly before #Rosetta released Philae to land on #Comet_67P/C-G, we posted an article on this blog titled “The singing comet”. It presented an audio track based on data collected with one of the #Instruments from the #rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) on board the orbiter. Perhaps because it added a new layer to the Rosetta story, by engaging another of our human senses to the immersive experience of “being there” at the comet with the spacecraft, this ‘song’ became a worldwide sensation. By now, it has been listened to more than 5.6 million times on SoundCloud. But what does this ‘music’ mean, and how is it possible to ‘record’ sounds in space at all? Readers of this blog have asked a number of questions about “The singing comet”, so we’ve written this post to provide some more details (...)

Ils lancent une #initiative_parodique contre l’#UDC
L’initiative « pour le renvoi des criminels de sexe masculin » reprend le contenu de celle dite de « mise en oeuvre » sur le renvoi des criminels étrangers. Histoire de se moquer de l’UDC.
Mais surtout, la #parodie remplace « #étranger et étrangère » par « personne de sexe masculin ». Les membres du comité entendent ainsi répondre par l’absurde aux arguments de l’UDC qui stigmatise les étrangers en utilisant les #statistiques de la #criminalité. Dans les faits, 84% des infractions pénales et 93% des infractions violentes graves sont commises par des hommes.

Twin blasts kill 20 mourners near #Iraq #funeral
▻http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/twin-blasts-kill-20-mourners-near-iraq-funeral
Two bombs exploded near a funeral procession in the Iraqi city of Baquba on Tuesday, killing 20 people, police and a doctor said. The blasts in the capital of Diyala province, 60 kilometers (37 miles) north of Baghdad, also wounded 28 people, the sources said. Mourners were carrying the body of a teacher who was shot dead the previous night to a cemetery when the blasts occurred. Militants frequently attack events and places where crowds of people gather, including funerals, weddings, mosques, markets and cafes, in an attempt to cause maximum casualties. read more
« It’s three times cheaper to give housing to the homeless than to keep them on the streets [...]
The latest is a Central Florida Commission on Homelessness study indicating that the region spends $31,000 a year per homeless person on “the salaries of law-enforcement officers to arrest and transport homeless individuals — largely for nonviolent offenses such as trespassing, public intoxication or sleeping in parks — as well as the cost of jail stays, emergency-room visits and hospitalization for medical and psychiatric issues.”
“Between 2005 and 2012 the rate of homelessness in America declined 17 percent”
By contrast, getting each homeless person a house and a caseworker to supervise their needs would cost about $10,000 per person.»
