DR MICHAEL MOSLEY: Could statins help beat long-Covid?
DR MICHAEL MOSLEY: Could statins help beat long-Covid? It's just one of the new treatments, along with a very low-calorie diet, being tested for a condition that affects 2million Britons
There are some things you never fully appreciate until they are gone, such as your sense of smell and being able to walk upstairs without gasping for breath.
And that's what millions are facing as a result of long Covid.
Thanks to the vaccines, there are signs we are finally getting on top of the virus. But we face another challenge in long Covid, with symptoms such as loss of sense of smell, breathlessness, extreme tiredness and brain fog, which in some people will last for months, possibly years.
I know quite a few people who either have or had long Covid, including one of my sons, Daniel, who spent nearly six months unable to smell anything; and a friend, Sarah, who is in her 50s and a year after getting Covid can still barely walk upstairs without pausing for breath.
Another friend, Louise, who is in her late 50s, lost her sense of smell and found that foods she normally enjoys tasted absolutely revolting.
As many as two million people in the UK could be affected, according to a recent study by Imperial College London.
Surprisingly, this also revealed that while men from ethnic minority groups are most at risk of dying from Covid if they catch it, women, particularly middle-aged white women, such as Sarah and Louise, are most likely to get long Covid.
Researchers at Cambridge University are looking at whether giving statins or a blood-thinning drug to patients when discharged from hospital helps long-term outcomes
What causes long Covid is still something of a mystery, although we know the virus can attack almost every organ, from your lungs to your heart, kidneys and brain.
One recent study found that people with long Covid reported more than 200 different symptoms, covering ten of the body's major organs.
With the loss of smell, the most likely explanation is that the virus attacks nerve cells in your nose.
The prolonged fatigue and breathlessness is probably also the result of an attack on nerve cells, in particular nerve cells that form part of the autonomic nervous system, which regulates gut function, heart rate and breathing, among other things.
Evidence for this comes from a surprising source: fitness trackers.
Many, like me, use these to monitor our heart rate, physical activity and sleep.
The companies that sell these devices also store this data and now some smart researchers from the Scripps Research Institute in California have realised this kind of data, anonymised, could be used to compare what happens in the long term to people who have had Covid with those who have had other respiratory diseases, such as flu.
The researchers recruited 37,000 people who shared the data from their fitness trackers, as well as providing their symptoms and Covid test results via an app.
Using the details from 875 people, the researchers found that after several months, those who'd had Covid were sicker for longer, with a prolonged and striking rise in their heart rates (which remained elevated, on average, for over two months) and increased fatigue and breathlessness.
If you are one of the many people affected by long Covid, what can you do about it?
There are lots of trials testing different treatments — at Glasgow University, for example, they are recruiting people who are overweight or obese and have long Covid for an 850-calorie a day, rapid weight-loss trial.
As well as reducing cholesterol, statins are powerful anti- inflammatory agents, while blood-thinning drugs should prevent clots, a common complication of long Covid that can lead to strokes and heart damage
Previous research has shown that carrying a lot of excess fat raises the risk of dying if you get Covid, and makes long-term complications more likely.
Losing weight has been shown to reduce post-Covid fatigue, breathlessness and inflammation.
Meanwhile, researchers at Cambridge University are looking at whether giving statins or a blood-thinning drug to patients when discharged from hospital helps long-term outcomes.
As well as reducing cholesterol, statins are powerful anti- inflammatory agents, while blood-thinning drugs should prevent clots, a common complication of long Covid that can lead to strokes and heart damage.
If you suffer from fatigue, the advice is to remain as active as you can. The secret is to pace yourself, with lots of short rests, and slowly add more gentle exercise, such as a short walk, into your life.
And if, like my friend Louise, you've lost your sense of smell, you could try smell training — twice a day, you take a good long sniff from things that produce a distinctive, familiar smell, such as oranges, mint, garlic or coffee.
Studies suggest that if you do this for several weeks there's a good chance your nose will spring back into action.
A coffee a day can help keep dementia at bay
Coffee is rich in healthy antioxidants and other anti-inflammatory compounds
These days, I have a fairly fixed morning ritual: after staggering out of bed at 7am and doing resistance exercises (press-ups, squats and the dreaded plank) I have a cup of black tea and take our dog for a walk, then have a cold shower, breakfast and the first of several cups of coffee.
So I was dismayed to read about a study, published in the journal Nutritional Neuroscience, linking high coffee drinking with a higher risk of dementia.
But when I looked at the details of the research, I was relieved to see the link was only true if you were drinking more than six cups a day.
Even better, it turned out that light drinkers (one to two cups a day) not only had bigger brains and 53 per cent less chance of developing dementia than heavy coffee drinkers, but they also had bigger and healthier brains than those who didn't drink the beverage at all, or who drank only decaf.
This may be because as well as being a stimulant, coffee is rich in healthy antioxidants and other anti-inflammatory compounds.
This could also explain the findings of a review of 200 studies, published in the BMJ in 2017, showing that moderate coffee drinking was associated with a lower risk of heart disease and cancer, and a lower rate of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
You might also want to avoid gulping down your coffee first thing.
Early in the morning, levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, start to rise, perking you up for the day ahead.
They peak around 30 minutes after you wake, then start to fall.
If you top up with caffeine while cortisol levels are high, it just replaces the boost you'd ordinarily get, rather than adding to it.
It takes around 20 minutes for the caffeine to really hit your brain — so if you wait at least 40 minutes for your first coffee, you should start to feel the effects around an hour after waking, just as the cortisol is beginning to wear off.
Delaying that first delicious sip also gives you something to look forward to!
I love Australia, not least as it's home to some of my closest friends. It's also home to some of the most poisonous creatures, including the Fraser Island funnel web spider.
But though deadly, this creature could save lives — its venom contains a protein, Hi1a, which Australian researchers have shown has the potential to protect against damage caused by stroke or heart attack.
Both of these deprive cells of oxygen, which in turn kills lots of other, nearby, cells.
This protein blocks this process and in lab studies reduced damage to the brain even when given up to eight hours after the stroke occurred.
Clinical trials are needed but the researchers think it could become a life-saving part of a paramedic's kit.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about my terrible posture that's making me look years older.
Since then, I've started yoga — and invested in a posture brace (I bought the most popular version from the internet).
It seems to be working. Even when I am not wearing it, I'm standing better and a friend who I haven't seen for several months, said: 'Wow, you're looking great! Have you been working out?'
All very encouraging.

Baby #3 is due any day now (or at least sometime in the next 2 weeks at the latest) and I have to say I'm pretty excited to try out some new/new-to-us products since it's been years since we have had bitty baby. We already have a few favorites that we will be returning to but I'd thought I would share a few that we will be testing out this time around.
We have co-slept with both of our older children so it's no surprise that we plan to co-sleep with baby #3 as well. That being said DockATot has been on my radar since I found out we were expecting and I can't wait to use it with our babe. The DockATot is not only a co-sleeper but a playtime lounger and safe place for me to set baby down without worry. It is made in Europe, designed in Sweden of a 100% natural fabric and it is breathable which makes it the perfect micro-climate for babies and tots. You can save $10 on your DockATot via this link*.
What items are on your must have list or what have you been dying to try out?
*These items were gifted to us to try. All statements and opinions are my own. Affiliate links are included in this post.
These look like great products! I remember LOVING the tummy time pad we had for our kids when they were babies. This one looks cute too!
congratulations on baby #3! I am a mama to just one and we went really minimal with purchases so I never used any of these products mentioned but I made-do with a few similar products like the baby wrap I have, which is similar to the Nuroo pocket jacket and we did tummy time on her gym and the nursing pillow (the boppy) but the boppy pad sounds like way more fun!


Goodreads description--Caregiving is a demanding task that takes a huge toll on the person providing care mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Not much of a description there, is it?
I originally requested this book because at the time a friend of mine had recently taken on the role of taking care of her father who was diagnosed with dementia and quickly progressed into the stages of Alzheimer's. When I saw the title, I thought it might be a nice book to recommend to her for this difficult time period. And so I requested the book from NetGalley.
Because this wasn't something that I was personally struggling with, I put off reading the book. It's a short read and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. Having never dealt with being a true caregiver in my life (I don't even have children yet), the struggles that one might go through facing these types of situations were completely lost on me. And I have to say that having read The Struggles of Caregiving, I have a new found appreciation for the daily struggles that anyone having to be a full-time caregiver must face.
I liked that the book was fast and to the point. Nell E. Noonan addresses some of the darker issues that caregivers face, and I have to applaud her for being so honest and real. I think that for anyone facing a care-giving situation, if nothing else, it would be a tremendous comfort to know that they are not alone. I haven't done a search on the subject, but I can't imagine that there are too many books out there that address this subject (I could be completely wrong about that, I've just never noticed any others). It's kind of like parents of abusive children--there's like hardly any "help" out there in the form of books.
While Nell E Noonan makes her religious affiliation (Methodist) clear throughout the book, I think there are principles that can be gathered from the book whether you're associated with the Methodist doctrine or not. That being said, my standard disclaimer is always to go to the Source (the Bible, the Word of God) for any questions and for Truth on any issue.
At this point in my life (because I've established that circumstances and experiences do play into my ratings), I can only give The Struggles of Caregiving 3 Stars. Were I going through a full-time care-giving situation that rating may be completely different--higher or lower.
Have you read The Struggles of Caregiving? What did you think? Let me know!

The orthodox position on "justification," a watershed between the Roman and Reformed churches, has recently been much debated in theological circles as new perspectives are advanced to break down the traditional barriers on this key salvation doctrine.
Westminster Theological Seminary holds a respected place in the Reformed world as a trainer of future ministers and influencers in the church. Members of the faculty here contribute the results of their investigations into the basis of the doctrine by looking at scripture, church history, apologetics and pastoral outworkings. This comprehensive study of the doctrine will enable you to look with clear eyes on the issues at stake in this key discussion for the future of the church. A Bibliography is also provided for further study of the subject.
Westminster Theological Seminary was founded in 1929 as a seminary dedicated to education in the Reformed tradition. It grew out of Princeton Seminary with a conviction that the Bible is the only infallible rule of Christian faith and practice. Westminster was created specifically to carry on old Princeton's tradition of heart piety and solid learning. The faculty subscribes to the Westminster Confession of Faith.
Includes an extensive introduction by Sinclair Ferguson.
Contributors include J. Stafford Carson, William Edgar, Alexander S. Finlayson, Richard B. Gaffin, Jr., Jeffrey K. Jue, Peter A. Lillback, John Murray, K. Scott Oliphint, Lane G. Tipton, and Carl R. Trueman, and a special reprint of John Murray's classic "The Imputaion of Adam's Sin".

Hiroko, a JMGA mountain guide, takes you on a 1-day packrafting adventure for beginners in Minakami, in the northern Gunma Prefecture.
Come with me for an exciting adventure in Minakami, riding the rapids of Tonegawa river in a pack raft!
Packrafting consists on using a single inflatable raft that can easily fit inside your backpack. Unlike rafting, it doesn't involve big cars to transport kayaks or rafts. Besides, you can choose your own starting point on the river.
This is a fun activity that allows you a great amount of freedom, as you can have full mobility and flexibility: you can go as far as you want and then take a train back home!
I propose to take you on a 1-day trip in Minakami, a town in the Gunma region, surrounded by beautiful mountains. It's an ideal opportunity for beginners, as you will learn how to control and operate the rafts as well as actually rafting down a river.
We'll be rafting on Tonegawa river or one of its small branches. Here, you can find sections with different difficulty levels. However, we'll be traversing parts with a Class 2 or so difficulty, because the main objective is for you to learn how to control the rafts.
Ready to enjoy a packrafting adventure in Japan? Please get in touch with me! We can organize an individual trip or you can come with a group of friends.
If you want to know more about this activity, don't miss the story of three happy clients that joined me on a packrafting trip in Minakami.
I can arrange a basic self catered dormitory style accommodation (an option for private rooms available) and/or pick you up / drop you off from nearby onsen towns (Takaragawa Onsen or Houshi Onsen).
Must have: swimming wear, towel.
Nice to have: rain jacket, goggles for people with glasses or contact lenses.
Please be aware that this trip may be affected by changes in unforeseeable weather conditions. Moreover, depending on the client's health conditions, the guide may determine that the customer is not fit for the trip and may refuse customer participation. All participants must be insured in case of accidents. Please ensure you are insured with appropriate policy in particular that covers mountain rescue operations.


Professor Valdovinos establishes a Sante Fe Institute Working Group - gathering together a brain trust of early career scientists who share the same passion.
Dr. Valdovinos had participated in SFI working groups previously and realized that their discussion could be the basis of a new group. "A working group offers a platform for increasing the collective influence of early-career researchers in ecology, and a venue for exploring the application of networks to decision-making, policy, education, and outreach."
With Dr. Jennifer Dunne, SFI's on-site collaborator, the working group proposal was put together and subsequently accepted and the group was established. The first meeting "Next-Generation Ecological Network Theory and Application" took place 5-7 November 2018 at the Santa Fe Institute. Valdovinos noted that the meeting was very productive and resulted in a specific action to put together a book entitled "Reckless Ideas in Ecological Networks" to be published under the SFI press.
The second of three planned meetings for the group, called "Reckless Ideas in Ecological Networks" after the book, will take place at the University of Michigan 9-10 May 2019. This meeting will continue the longstanding collaboration between SFI and CSCS and the tradition of organizing a Symposium featuring speakers from UM and SFI in Ann Arbor annually.
Dr. Valdovinos also established a multi-disciplinary 'NETWORKS' group at the University of Michigan, where faculty and researchers from across campus whose work involves networks meet monthly to utilize their collective wisdom to further their research projects and network analysis skill sets.
Congratulations to Dr. Valdovinos on these accomplishments during her first year at the University of Michigan!

Printing papers are a matter of personal choice. They are an aesthetic decisions, much as how to crop or whether to convert a colour image to monochrome. Some folks like it one way, some another.
My taste in papers tends toward the simple, even classic types. I prefer papers that use Photo Black ink, because of the greater dMax (blacker blacks), and I like smooth but not too glossy surfaces. The traditional air dried F surface, in other words. For the past two years eitherIlford Gold Fiber Silk, or the very similarCanson Baryta Photographiquehave been my mainstays, and more recently, for portfolio presentation,Canson Infinity Platine.
On July 18, 2011 a new paper was announced by theMoabdivision ofLegion Paper, and a few days later a sample box crossed my desk. Slickrock Metallic Pearl 260is its proper name – simplySlickrockfrom now on, and it really is something special.
Slickrock isn't the type of paper that would normally attract me. I prefer rag papers, preferably without OBA's. Slickrock is resin coated paper (plastic, in other words) and most definitely has OBAs. Guess what? It doesn't matter. This paper is lovely. I went through a 50 sheet box in a weekend, exploring its characteristics with various types of images.
The surface has an ultra-smooth pearlescent finish with a metallic sheen. It's of medium weight (260 gsm) and is acid free. It is claimed to work well with both dye and pigment inks, though the use of pigments is recommended.
The so-called "Pearl" finish means that the paper has a semi-gloss – a sheen but without hard reflections. It seems to have a very tough surface and doesn't show scuffs or fingerprints the way some papers do. This is an ideal paper where heavy handling is likely. It is claimed to be waterproof.
Of course Slickrock isn't the only metallic surface paper available. In the wet darkroom days we had (and still have) Kodak Endura Metallic, while LexJet, Mitsibishi and Red River all have metallic surface papers. Given that there are only a few paper mills in the world, it could even be that all of these papers come from the same mill, with only moderate difference in coating and paper thickness. But, that doesn't detract from the fact that Moab'sSlickrockis very appealing.
If you ever printed Cibachrome (or had them printed for you) you'll probably like Slickrock. It has a similar sheen, but without Cibachrome's contrast problems.
Above is a comparison gamut plot against my current favourite paper,Canson Baryta Photographique. As can be seen Slickrock has a somewhat smaller gamut in the lighter tonalities and colours, but because of the paper's high brightness this is not readily apparent in prints.
In summary, this is a a unique paper that will not be everyone's cup of tea, and likely won't become most people's everyday fine-art paper. But, it has a unique and very appealing "look", especially with B&W images.Slickrockis available in all popular cut sheet and roll sizes.
At this time Moab only has a limited number of printer profiles for Slickrock available on its web site. I did my testing on an Epson 3880, for which there was a profile available for downloading.
I urge you to try a sample pack and discover whether this fascinating new paper deserves a place in your own paper line-up. It has in mine.

Q: Orthogonal basis of complete Euclidean space friends! I read that any complete Euclidean, complex or real, space $R$ has a (normalized) orthogonal basis. By orthogonal basis an orthogonal system of vectors such that the smallest closed subspace containing them is $R$.
In the assumptions there isn't the separability of the space, which would permit to apply the Gram-Schmidt process to any everywhere dense system after removing its linearly dependent elements, so I have no idea how to give myself a proof of the statement.
Thank you all!!!

A: One uses Zorn's lemma to have the existence of a maximal orthonormal set $\mathscr{B}$ in $R$.
It remains to see that $\mathscr{B}$ is an orthonormal basis (not a basis in the algebraic sense, unless $R$ is finite-dimensional), i.e. $S := \overline{\operatorname{span} \mathscr{B}}$ is the whole space $R$.
Clearly, the maximality of $\mathscr{B}$ implies that $S^\perp = \{0\}$, since otherwise we could extend $\mathscr{B}$ by any unit vector in $S^\perp$ to an orthonormal system properly containing $\mathscr{B}$ in contradiction to its maximality.
Since (see below) we have $R = S \oplus S^\perp$, the triviality of $S^\perp$ implies $S = R$, as desired.
The decomposition $R = S \oplus S^\perp$ is a consequence of the
Projection lemma: Let $E$ be an inner product space, and $C\subset E$ be a nonempty complete convex set. Then there is a (continuous) projection $P_C \colon E \to C$ mapping each point $x\in E$ to the unique point $y\in C$ with
$$\lVert x-y\rVert = \operatorname{dist}(x,C) := \inf \{ \lVert x-c\rVert : c\in C\}.$$
Proof: We first show the existence of an $y\in C$ with $\lVert x-y\rVert = \operatorname{dist}(x,C)$. By definition of the infimum, there is a sequence $(y_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ in $C$ with $\lVert x-y_n\rVert \to d := \operatorname{dist}(x,C)$. By the parallelogram identity, we have
$$\lVert y_n - y_m\rVert^2 + \lVert (x-y_n) + (x-y_m)\rVert^2 = 2\lVert x-y_n\rVert^2 + 2\lVert x-y_m\rVert^2$$
for all $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$. Given $\varepsilon > 0$, there is an $N(\varepsilon)$ such that $\lVert x-y_k\rVert^2 < d^2 + \frac{\varepsilon^2}{4}$ for $k \geqslant N(\varepsilon)$, and since $\frac{1}{2}(y_n+y_m)\in C$ for all $m,n$ by convexity, we have
$$\begin{align}
\lVert y_n-y_m\rVert^2 &= 2\lVert x-y_n\rVert^2 + 2\lVert x-y_m\rVert^2 - 4 \left\lVert x - \tfrac{1}{2}(y_n+y_m)\right\rVert^2\\
&\leqslant 4d^2 +\varepsilon^2 - 4 \left\lVert x - \tfrac{1}{2}(y_n+y_m)\right\rVert^2\tag{1}\\
&\leqslant \varepsilon^2
\end{align}$$
for all $m,n\geqslant N(\varepsilon)$. So $(y_n)$ is a Cauchy sequence, and since $C$ is complete, there is an $y\in C$ with $y_n \to y$. By the continuity of the norm, we have $\lVert x-y\rVert = d$. The argument also implies the uniqueness of $y\in C$ realising the distance: If $y_1,y_2\in C$ with $\lVert x-y_1\rVert = \lVert x-y_2\rVert = d$, then setting $m = 1,\,n = 2$ in $(1)$ shows $\lVert y_1 - y_2\rVert^2 \leqslant 0$.
We omit the proof of the continuity of $P_C$, since we don't need that for the orthogonal decomposition $R = S \oplus S^\perp$, but we note that $P_C(x)$ is characterised by the condition
$$\bigl(\forall y \in C\bigr)\bigl(\operatorname{Re} \langle x-P_C(x), y-P_C(x)\rangle \leqslant 0\bigr).$$
For, given any $y\in C$, the point $y_t := (1-t)\cdot P_C(x) + t\cdot y$ belongs to $C$ for all $t\in [0,1]$ by convexity, and
$$\begin{align}
\lVert x- y_t\rVert^2 &= \lVert (x-P_C(x)) - t(y-P_C(x))\rVert^2\\
&= \lVert x-P_C(x)\rVert^2 - 2t\operatorname{Re} \langle x-P_C(x),y-P_C(x)\rangle + t^2 \lVert y-P_C(x)\rVert^2.
\end{align}$$
Since $P_C(x)$ minimises the distance to $x$ in $C$ it follows that the derivative of $\lVert x- y_t\rVert^2$ in $0$ is non-negative, and that derivative is $-2\operatorname{Re} \langle x-P_C(x),y-P_C(x)\rangle$.
Conversely, if $P_C(x)\in C$ is a point with $\operatorname{Re}\langle x-P_C(x),y-P_C(x)\rangle \leqslant 0$ for all $y\in C$, it follows that $\lVert x-y\rVert = \lVert x-y_1\rVert \geqslant \lVert x-P_C(x)\rVert$ for all $y\in C$, and so $P_C(x)$ minimises the distance to $x$ in $C$.
Now, if $C$ is a complete linear subspace of $E$, then $\{ y- P_C(x) : y \in C\} = C$, so
$$\operatorname{Re} \langle x-P_C(x),y\rangle \leqslant 0$$
for all $y\in C$, and since $-y\in C$ (and $\pm i y\in C$ if the scalar field is $\mathbb{C}$) for $y\in C$, it follows that $x-P_C(x) \in C^\perp$.
So we have the decomposition $E = C \oplus C^\perp$ for every complete subspace $C$ of an inner product space $E$.
In our setting, $S$ is a closed subspace of the complete space $R$, hence complete, and the decomposition $R = S \oplus S^\perp$ follows.

Q: set associated property in initializer I have this protocol:
protocol TypeProtocol {

    associatedtype myType

}

And a class conforming to the protocol:
class MyClass: TypeProtocol {

    typealias myType = Any

    init() {
        //some logic here to find out what class to use

        myType = String

    }
}

But myType is immutable, so I can't change it to String since I already set it to Any. I don't see how to use the myType as an optional and I don't have access to the type until I initialize.
How would I get around this?

A: Here is an example on how you do it using generics so that the type isn't defined until the class is initialised
protocol TypeProtocol {
    associatedtype myType
}

class MyClass<T>: TypeProtocol {

    typealias myType = T

    let data: T
    init(_ data: T) {
        self.data = data
    }
}

Example
let my = MyClass("abc")
print(type(of: my.data))

A: This seems to be the way to go:
class MyClass<T>: TypeProtocol {

    typealias myType = T

}

and then
MyClass<Int>()

News: Excavations
Excavations continued this year at ancient Alasarna
By the University of Athens
by Archaeology Newsroom
The excavation conducted this season by the University of Athens at ancient Alasarna (today's Kardamaina) on Kos is into its 35th year. It is the longest, continuous, systematic archaeological research on the island, as well as one of the most long term university excavations in Greece. Hundreds of Greek and foreign archaeologists have trained there since 1985 to the present, many of whom now are employed at the Archaeological service or teach at Universities in Greece, Cyprus, Poland, Australia and elsewhere.
Ancient Alasarna's advantageous position by the sea, opposite Nisyros and the Knidos peninsula, had attracted inhabitants since antiquity and was associated with the most ancient cult of the Koans, that of their forefather Apollo Pythaius or Pythaeus. For this reason, magnificent buildings in his honour were erected in Hellenistic times, and numerous inscriptions and statues and other offerings were established. After the repeated catastrophic earthquakes that hit the island and the prevailing of Christianity, the sanctuary area was taken over by part of a flourishing early Byzantine settlement that grew in the area, while the excellent quality clay and location of the settlement on the wheat sea route from Egypt in Constantinople led to a new flowering, until the settlement was finally abandoned in the 7th century AD due to raids by the Arabs.
This year's excavation team worked for one month. It was headed by Emeritus women Professors G. Kokkorou- Alevra, S. Kalopisi-Verti and M. Panagiotidou-Kesisoglou and was made up of 45 people; PhD holders, postgraduate and graduate students. The unearthing continued of the monumental enclosure (Building E) which appears to have surrounded a magnificent Hellenistic temple (Building C), possibly that of Apollo as testified by inscriptions, issues were looked into related to the construction and chronology of the Roman temple (Building D) located outside the enclosure and lastly, selected areas were excavated for a fuller understanding of the early Byzantine settlement that had occupied the sanctuary district since 400 AD and perhaps even earlier. The unearthing of one more Roman building to the west of the Roman temple (Building D) is of particular interest, testifying to a greater flowering of the sanctuary in Roman times than what excavations had shown to date.
The most distinguished of this year's finds are a clay Cupid figurine, a Hellenistic skyphos vase with relief decoration, oil lamps, a coin from the times of Augustus, architectural members, fragments of frescoed plaster, early Byzantine amphorae with graffiti and more.
At the same time, movable and immovable finds from the excavation are being studied, as the volumes that make up the Alasarna series (Thales European Programme of Excellence) continue to be published. To date, this places the University excavation of Kardamaina among the few systematic Greek excavations that provides a series of publications, as is usually the case with excavations conducted by foreign archaeological schools in Greece.
The excavation is supervised by the Ephorate of Antiquities of the Dodecanese and is funded annually by the General Secretariat of the Aegean and Island Policy while receiving increasingly warm support from local authorities, the Kardamaina community and educational and cultural institutions of Kos. The ultimate goal is to promote the site and hand it over to the inhabitants and visitors of the island.

Our clinic is pleased to offer puppy preschool classes; these are a must for anyone wanting to promote development of their puppy into becoming a happy, well balanced and obedient dog. The classes are designed for puppies at a starting age of between 8 to16 weeks old.
Puppy preschool is crucial for puppies to become well adjusted adult dogs. Each year dogs are euthanased due to issues which could have been prevented had they been taught appropriate behaviour and training. Puppy preschool is a starting point in creating a happy dog but unfortunately, due to vaccination regimes, it is often hard to do this safely. Our aim is to help you to do this in a safe and controlled environment. Our classes are kept small enough so that each owner and puppy gets the individual attention that they require to succeed.
The course runs for a total of four weeks on a Monday or Tuesday evening from 6.30pm – 7.30pm, commencing the first week of the month. We use positive reinforcement in our classes and cover areas such as socialization, obedience, basic commands and behavioural issues. The topics we cover include dentistry, parasites, life after puppy preschool and more. The main aim is to ensure that the needs of the puppy in regards to socialization are met plus it's also a fun way to get together and share ideas. We are more than happy to help our students outside of puppy preschool hours with any problems and are also able to do a bit of one on one with any stubborn puppies if necessary -bookings are essential.
- Current vaccination certificate if your puppy was not vaccinated here.
- Your puppy with an appropriate fitting collar and lead.
- Please do NOT feed your puppy before classes.
A fee of $80 is payable on or before the first puppy preschool class by CASH only.
Please contact the clinic on (07) 5447 6733 during business hours for bookings and enquiries.
