"Star clusters are among the most visually alluring and astrophysically
fascinating objects in the sky. One of the most spectacular nestles deep in
the southern skies near the Southern Cross in the constellation of Crux.
The Kappa Crucis Cluster, also known as NGC 4755 or simply the "Jewel Box"
is just bright enough to be seen with the unaided eye. It was given its
nickname by the English astronomer John Herschel in the 1830s because the
striking color contrasts of its pale blue and orange stars seen through a
telescope reminded Herschel of a piece of exotic jewelry.

Orichalcum Recovered from 2,600-year-old Shipwreck?

It may or may not be Orichalcum, but it is a clear window into ancient
metallurgy and is in ingot form for further reworking. I am more inclined
to think that orichalcum was a pretty clean copper gold alloy that could be
used even as a veneer on a bronze casting or its like. Once the veneer had
been applied, it is a matter of gentle rubbing with an organic acid to
slowly dissolve away copper while spreading out the gold itself until the
entire surface was covered in gold.
Additional polishing would maintain the gold coat during the lifetime of
the object.

Our NHS is short of £5bn a year. But rival countries' public/private mix costs them even more
Hari at Ripped-off Britons - 6 hours ago
We're told we'd need to find an extra £5bn every year
to be able to afford an NHS that maintains standards, free at the point of
delivery.
We're told it's only
possible if we allow the private sector to take on more of our healthcare
delivery.
We're told that other
countries, including the progressive lefty ones, use a mix of public and
private to be able to afford modern healthcare.
Paul Craig Roberts (slightly edited for this over view): “The new principle in Europe that the IMF has relentlessly applied to Latin American and Third World debtors, is that when foreign lenders make mistakes and over-lend to foreign governments, loading them up with debt, the bankers’ mistakes are rectified by robbing the poor populations. Pensions, social services, and public employment are cut, valuable resources are sold off to foreigners for pennies on the dollar, and the government is forced to support US foreign policy. The EU and the euro were deception and trickery. Countries lost their sovereignty. So much for Western 'self-rule,' 'freedom,' and 'democracy.' In the entire West there is nothing but the looting of people by the One Percent who control the governments. In America, the looting does not rely on indebtedness because the US dollar is the reserve currency and the US can print all the money needed in order to pay its bills and redeem its debt. In America the looting of labor has been through jobs offshoring.”

Okay, we get it. New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick really, really
doesn't care for the NFL front office. He thinks they don't like him, and
try their darnedest to make his job harder, whlie they're screwing up stuff
they're supposed to be doing. Also, he wishes this whole confounded
Deflate-gate thing would go away, and since he gets that he can't ignore it

Power to Hoi Polloi
Karen Garcia at Sardonicky - 14 hours ago
The people of Greece finally had enough of the Troika extermination plot.
"Austerity" being simply a euphemism for Social Darwinism, the Polloi threw
caution to the wind and voted in the SYRIZA party over the weekend. The
name is an acronym for the Coalition of the Radical Left. But when even Paul
Krugman* says the winners aren't nearly radical enough to bring Greece out
of its Great Depression, you begin to wonder if this victory is just more
of the same Hope and Change rhetoric that we jaded Americans fell for, once
upon a time.
It doesn't bode well that SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipr... more »

1,200 Casualties In Iraq 2nd Week Of January 2015
Joel Wing at MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 15 hours ago
Violence has been picking up in Iraq after a slight lull during the end of
2014. For the second week of January 2015 there were roughly the same
number of attacks as the previous week resulting in just over 1,200
casualties. The Islamic State (IS) continued with its offensive operations
in Anbar and Salahaddin, but also carried out attacks upon Diyala, Kirkuk,
and Ninewa. The Iraqi Security Forces and militias on the other hand were
concentrating upon rural Anbar and southern Salahaddin. Overall, fighting
remains at a rough stalemate throughout the country.

Why Has There Been A Dramatic Drop In Car Bombs In Iraq?
Joel Wing at MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 15 hours ago
Car bombs (Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Devices – VBIEDs) have been
one means to track the growth and operational strength of the Islamic State
(IS). VBIEDs require supply systems to provide explosives and cars,
intelligence gathering to find targets, and means to plant the bombs. In
2012 there was a dramatic increase in the use of car bombs marking IS’s
return from its nadir in 2011. At the end of 2014 leading into the new year
there has been just as sharp a drop in the number of VBIEDs deployed. This
could point to a major disruption of the Islamic Sate’s networks.

Iraq’s Oil Exports See Dramatic Increase In Dec 2014, But Falling Revenues
Joel Wing at MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 15 hours ago
Iraq witnessed the highest level oil exports in December 2014 in decades.
At the same time, its increased oil production is only adding to the glut
on the international market, which has seen a dramatic drop in prices. The
result is that the country can expect lower revenues into the near future.
December was a landmark date for Iraq’s post-2003 oil industry. The country
exported an average of 2.94 million barrels a day, up from 2.51the previous
month. That was the most seen since 1980 according to an Oil Ministry

“Sooner or later, fate puts us together with all the people, one by one,
who show us what we could, and shouldn’t, let ourselves become. Sooner or
later we meet the drunkard, the waster, the betrayer, the ruthless mind,
and the hate-filled heart. But fate loads the dice, of course, because we
usually find ourselves loving or pitying almost all of those people. And
it’s impossible to despise someone you honestly pity, and to shun someone
you truly love.”
- Gregory David Roberts, “Shantaram”

activism have been advised to avoid a habitual retreat to comfort zones…to

1. Begin by making small changes or break up large-scale changes into more

in general.

"Does a leaf, when it falls from the tree in winter, feel defeated by the
cold? The tree says to the leaf: ‘That’s the cycle of life. You may think
you’re going to die, but you live on in me. It’s thanks to you that I’m
alive, because I can breathe. It’s also thanks to you that I have felt
loved, because I was able to give shade to the weary traveller. Your sap is

More Evidence in Ukraine

Is he American or British? Is this a US military or Blackwater mercenary
posing as a Ukrainian soldier in their uniform? How many of these
'trainers' are there now from NATO inside Ukraine? The evidence is
mounting that the US-NATO are expanding their active military role in the
Ukraine war along Russia's border.
Do the American people, and the people of Europe, want and support a
US-NATO war with Russia?

successful by -- like the others I just mentioned -- *being himself*. He
was proudly unscripted. His everyman qualities, eccentricities and all,
endeared him to those who tuned in, and they tuned in for over 40 years

Peter Koenig is an economist and geopolitical analyst with 30 years of World Bank experience around the globe who knows a false-flag attack when he sees one (e.g., the Boston Marathon bombing). He also knows that such attacks, when blamed on people of specific nationality or creed (and the alleged perps are killed before they can be interrogated), can inflame an entire populace, resulting in their demanding that all persons of such nationality or religious belief be destroyed. Here Koenig shows how the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris fits perfectly into this mold, and he urges all citizens of Mother Earth to beware of government propaganda and wake up to what your eyes and ears tell you (i.e., that your evil government is tricking you into endorsing its war on the entire planet, profiting the super-rich at the expense of the already poor).

Greece: Exit Polls Indicate Big Win for Syriza

Because we can't forget about Greece!

The polls indicate that Syriza took between 36% and 38% of the total vote,
with the ruling New Democracy party a distant second with 26%-28%.
It is unclear whether Syriza has enough votes to govern the country alone.
Syriza's Alexis Tsipras has pledged to renegotiate Greece's debt
arrangement with international creditors.
He has also vowed to reverse many of the austerity measures adopted by
Greece since a series of bailouts began in 2010.
