Roman temple ruins from the 2nd century A.D. have emerged from excavations at the ancient Jewish capital of the Galilee in Israel. The discovery shows that the city of Zippori housed a significant pagan population which built a temple in the city center during the Roman period.

Ugh, those selfish pilots can't be bothered to help their airlines return to profitability. No, instead they're whining to NASA that they're being forced to fly "uncomfortably low on fuel" and that "safety for passengers and crews could be compromised." These flight simulator jockeys want more fuel, but that isn't likely to happen anytime soon.
