ArticleArticle with GIF file typeWhen television was young, there was a hugely popular show based on the still popular fictional character of Superman. The opening of that show had a familiar phrase that went, “Look. Up in the sky. It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s Superman!” How beloved Superman has become in our culture and the worldwide fascination with extraterrestrials and all things cosmic only emphasizes that there is a deep curiosity in all humans about nature and astronomy, even if many people would not know to call it astronomy. Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences of all time. When archeologists unearth ancient civilizations, even as far back as the cavemen, they invariably find art that shows mans unquenchable fascination with the stars. To this day, you can easily get an animated discussion at any gathering on the topic of “Is there intelligent life on other planets?” Many have tried to explain mankind’s seeming obsession with outer space as a result of an ancient memory or as part of mankind’s eternal nature. Whatever the cause, people of every age and every nation share this one deep interest, to know more about the universe that our tiny planet is just a part of.By: Anne miller New vijayalaxmi santosh mhetre maliWednesday, Sep 24, 2025AGRI-FOOD SYSTEMS+1

PostAgile methodology is a flexible, iterative project management approach that prioritizes continuous feedback, adaptability, and collaboration over rigid, linear plans. Originating in software development, it involves completing projects in small, fast-paced cycles, known as increments, with frequent releases of functional products. Guided by the values in the Agile Manifesto, whichemphasizes working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change, Agile serves as an umbrella term for various specific frameworks like Scrum and Kanban. Key Characteristics Iterative and Incremental: Work is broken into short development cycles (sprints), and usable parts of the product are delivered quickly and frequently. Customer-Centric: Strong focus on customer satisfaction and continuous collaboration with stakeholders to gather feedback. Flexibility and Adaptability: The ability to respond quickly to changing requirements and market conditions is a core benefit. Collaboration and Self-Organization: Cross-functional teams work closely together and are empowered to self-organize to complete tasks. Continuous Improvement: Teams regularly reflect on their processes and adapt their behavior to become more effective.https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/software-testing/what-is-agile-methodology/ https://asana.com/resources/agile-methodology https://www.wrike.com/project-management-guide/faq/what-is-agile-methodology-in-project-management/By: Anne miller New vijayalaxmi santosh mhetre maliMonday, Sep 22, 2025AGRI-FOOD SYSTEMS+3

OpportunityOpportunity: JAMH Call for Papers Journal of African Military HistoryJAMH Call for Papers Journal of African Military History - Special Issue: New Histories of the Southern African Liberation Struggles The intertwined wars to bring majority-rule to the Southern African states are rightfully understood in African history both as the triumphs of pan-African solidarity and complex events that interwove both local struggles for authority and global ideological competition. Initial nationalist histories traced the rise and political activities of the liberation fronts while more global views explored the cooperation of African actors with international patrons such as Russia, China, and Cuba in their attempts to leverage Cold War dynamics in an effort to attain their freedom. These often ultimately proved to be more official histories that played up the successes of the liberation struggles against the white redoubt countries as well as the international and Pan-African cooperation that allowed these successes However, the past decade has seen the continued expansion of historical inquiry into these conflicts. Both on the continent and abroad, critical archives have been opened and their documentation being woven into the historical narratives of the conflicts, such as the emergent work on the ALCORA exercises by Robert McNamara and Felipe Rebeiro de Meneses. Access to a plethora of previously unreachable or forgotten interview subjects has established new narratives of the struggles themselves, such as in the works of Joanne MacGregor, Joceylyn Alexander, Christian Williams, or Marc Thomas Howard. Topics that had not previous been studied in a systemicaaptest1@yahoo.com way, such as African participationAAP_test@outlook.com in the struggles against the liberation fronts or the logistics of sustaining the far-flung struggles, have been explored, establishing new bodies of knowledge about these complex conflicts. Simply put, while there have been published historical narratives and knowledge about these struggles since the days of their waging, newer work has both enhanced and expanded on these early publications and there remains more new scholarship emerging. The intent of this special issue is continuing these efforts and publishing new scholarly perspectives on the planning, waging, and inherited narratives of the struggles for the final liberation of Africa while at the same time uncovering varied aspects of these intertwined vijayalaxmi@facebook.com conflicts which have received little or no previous scholarly attention We are particularly interested in contributions exploring the following topics regarding either side of the conflict: - Internal alliances and military cooperation; - Operational planning and direct military engagements; - Recruitment, mobilization and manpower; - Veterans and demobilization; - Labor, industry and sustainment of the struggles; - Gender, masculinity, and the role of women; - Resistance, political activism and interment; - Propaganda, espionage and counterintelligence; - malivijaya975@gmail.com External connections and interactions; - Legacy, commemoration and historical memory; The special issue will consider articles submitted in English. If you are interested in proposing a paper on these or any other topics, please contact Dr Charles Thomas (charles.thomas.40@au.af.edu ) or Dr. Bafumiki Mocheregwa (bafumiki.mocheregwa@usm.edu ). Abstracts should be submitted by 30 November 2025, with completed essays due by 31 April 2026.
