Ancient mosaic featuring 'cheerful' skeleton found in Turkey

Turkey’s state-run news agency says archaeologists have unearthed an ancient mosaic featuring a reclining skeleton holding a drink with the inscription in Greek: “Be cheerful, enjoy life.”

Anadolu Agency said Friday the mosaic was discovered during excavations in the Syrian border province of Hatay—ancient Antioch—which boasts Turkey’s largest collection of ancient mosaics.

Anadolu said the floor mosaic, dating from the third century B.C., is believed to have decorated the dining area of a home. The skeleton, featured on a black background, is surrounded by bread and an amphora.

Anadolu quoted archaeologist Demet Kara as saying the mosaic is unique in Turkey but a similar one has been found in Italy. (source)

Everyone at the JAL desk loved the bird, there was a lot of gathering around her carrier door and people calling coworkers over to admire her fluffiness. They were so excited to see her hop on my shoulder while the TSA inspector looked in her cage, then they took her back and bowed copiously telling me thank you for letting them spend time with her.

Yep, that sounds like the Japanese.

Which appears to be precisely where they took the layout design for the Sevastopol’s ‘bridge’ from for Alien: Isolation.

Agreed, I was thinking the same thing.

Stress City

Man, I am stressed 8 ways from Sunday. Pretty much been a constant stream of low-level anxiety for the last few weeks. I can feel it in my toes; it's like an electric current running through my body, scrambling my nerve functions, effectively paralyzing me. It's actually seriously affecting my work performance, which I suppose is the hallmark of an "actual problem," or it may simply be an indication that I'm not suited for this job at all, which is an even more terrifying proposition, given that at this point, I have no idea what else I could do that would net me a living wage.

Hence a sensation of containment builds around the stress, reflecting and enhancing it like the rays of a microwave. My job is good, but stressful, and requires a whole host of self-motivated and self-assured skills of which I have always lacked. I struggle, especially now that my territory's been extended. I am overwhelmed by minor responsibilities, such as contacting an account to set up an appointment to visit with samples. The implication (to my immediate mind at least) is that I am not fit for the position. Yet what job, of any quality, would be void of such stresses? A simpler, more conventional office job would replace the stress of free-form responsibility with the stress of interminable boredom. And any job that pays well requires heightened responsibilities and enhanced levels of self-motivation. Thus there seems to be no alternative for me other than to stick it out with my amazing, nerve jangling job. Yet I fear that my difficulties will scuttle that position, and I will be thrown back into the roiling sea of modern employment opportunity, grasping at planks, doomed to a watery grave of perpetual retail employment with my nose bobbing just above minimum wage.

So the only option is to stick it out, and do whatever I can to mitigate these crippling anxieties. It is extremely likely that this is another one of my "phases," just as I went through a phase of extreme happiness and contentment from January to March (the longest, unbroken period of happiness in my life). I suppose I must hold on until then, but the ultimate concern is that I am simply unsuited to life, and that my delicate and easily corroded sense of worth, coupled with my complete aversion to actual work and effort, combine to make me an effectively useless, albeit charming, human being. That I am somewhat charming and give off the impression of a certain significance, or at the very least some kind of "true" individuality, makes my condition even more depressing. I could very well be a unique snow flake but I feel myself melting long before making landfall in the mittened paw of some wondrous and observant child. I feel like an evolutionary aberration, bearing a handful of miraculous adaptations, but ultimately doomed by fitness-sapping mutations to the tried-and-true biological necessities: lungs, muscles, a heart, beating the pulse of its own determination, not this quivering sack that strains at the very thought of its own purpose.
