EndGame

The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power."

New geophysical technique applied to rock art

There is a need to record and document rock art images as they face deterioration from environmental, industrial and human impacts. A new pilot project by Jennifer Lynn Milani (Flinders University, Adelaide, South Australia ) trials the use of magnetic susceptibility (MS) meter to non-invasively detect and spatiallly resolve ochre rock art images.
Ochre is frequently used in rock art production and research has shown that it emits a MS signature due to its magnetic characteristics. These ochre images can be hidden behind silica or carbonate crusts or may deteriorate ove time limiting their visibility. The rock art images that lie behind such crusts are likely to be protected from weathering and are amenable to dating using such techniques as uranium mass spectometry (AMS).
The new Australian research demonstrates that, if present in sufficient abundance, red ochre can be imaged and spatially resolved with a MS meter when applied to a rock face in a variety of geological environments. The type of binder used, pre-application heating or the rocktype itself does not appear to have a significant effect on the viability of the technique. Imaging ochre beneath a proxy crust was also trialled without success; however this is attributed to poor survey design rather than a fundemental problem with the technique.
This pilot project demonstrates that more important to the success of a survey is the equipment setting, the spatial resolution of the survey and the use of a correction to control instrument drift. It also demonstrates the validity of continuing investigations in the emerging field of rock art geophysics ad highlights the importance of future trials on field sites.

Fire Mummies of the Philippines

Scientists believe these mummies were first created sometime by the Ibaloi tribe between 1200 and 1500 CE. What makes these mummies unique is the process by which they were made. Mummification began shortly before a person died, where they would ingest a very salty drink. After death, the body was washed and set over a fire in a seated position, thus drying the fluids. Tobacco smoke was blown into the mouth to dry the inside of the body and internal organs. Finally, herbs were rubbed on the body. It's estimated that the entire process could take weeks, sometimes months, to finish. They were then buried in the caves. The practice died out in the 1500s when Spain colonized the Philippines.
