Alex Demetris got in touch recently. He’s working on a comic about Lewy Body Dementia. It looks very interesting and I can’t wait to see more (there is a printed copy in the post to me!). This is what Alex has to say about his project: ‘Having produced numerous cartoons and short comic strips over the past six years, last autumn I decided to enrol on an MA in Illustration at Camberwell College of the Arts in order to explore fully my interest in producing a longer narrative comic.  In 2007 my father had been diagnosed with Lewy body dementia,...

This is not your typical reference book. It doesn't cover all of AWS or all its quirks. Instead, we want to help you realize which AWS features you’d be foolish not to use. Features for which you almost never need to consider alternatives. Features that have passed the test of time by being at the backbone of most things on the internet.Making technical choices can be overwhelming. As developers, we have to make many choices from what seems like unlimited options. We have to choose a programming language, an application framework, a database, a cloud vendor, software dependencies, and many other things. AWS alone offers about 150 services, all with their own set of options and features, sometimes even overlapping with each other. In this book, we will reveal a technique we use ourselves to help make reliable technical choices without getting paralyzed in the face of so many options. This technique will be presented in the context of AWS, but it can be generalized to any other technical decision.This is a book by Daniel Vassallo and Josh Pschorr. Between us, we have worked with AWS for 15 years, including 11 years working inside AWS. We have worked on all sorts of web applications, from small projects to massive web services running on thousands of servers. We have been using AWS since it was just three services without a web console, and we even got to help build a small part of AWS itself.This is an opinionated book. We only cover topics we have significant first-hand experience with. You won't find most of the knowledge we share here in the AWS docs.Book SampleHere's a sample from the book.

The first part is very high level. It's our opinionated perspective of the most important AWS products and how we think about them (which is not exactly how Amazon describes them). The second part is more technical, and written for developers who want to set up an AWS environment from scratch and understand what’s going on.What's the refund policy?If what you see is not what you expected, just reply to the download email within 30 days, and you'll get a full refund.

The AWS guidance is excellent too. Recommended!"— Brian Scanlan (@brian_scanlan)"Really enjoyed reading "The Good Parts of AWS" by @dvassallo - I had quite a few 'aha' moments despite having been working at Amazon for 4 years (last two in AWS!) Nice job!"— Nicola Apicella (@napicellatwit)"OK this book is fantastic - this is by far the clearest explanation I've seen of DynamoDB and I'm only on page 9"— Simon Willison (@simonw)"I'm only halfway through this book and it is already worth well more than I paid for it."— Jonathan Taylor (@log4code)"Just finished part 1.. exceptionally useful guide to AWS! It's concise, easy to understand & provides a great, practical framework to navigate the AWS core offerings for beginners & experts alike."— Justin Berman (@justinberman95)"I've started following @dvassallo since he left AWS and not only his story is worthwhile, but also this book.

Love the straight to the point approach. Every line is 'highlightable'"— Chibuzor "Odai" Obiora (@nbyodai)"I don't buy books because I never read them. Sad truth. I bought this one because it is an important topic to me. Read a few pages and it is really worth it. Thanks!"— Iuri de Silvio (@iurisilvio)"Picked up 'The Good Parts of AWS' by @dvassallo and @josh_pschorr. Excellent, very practical, advice based in a pragmatic approach to technology choices. There’s value here both for newcomers as well as those who have been using AWS for a while."— Axel Larsson (@WindexCowboy)"This is a great read. I highly recommend if you are building applications for #aws"— Michael Russo (@russomidev)"I've been avoiding buying it, but finally decided to pull the trigger. About a third of the way through, and it's been really thought provoking so far. Considering some changes I can make to apps I've built. Thank you!"— Dennis Beatty (@dnsbty)"I treated myself to this goodie for the holidays. Starts with a lot of truth. "Making technical choices can be overwhelming. As developers, we have to make many choices from what seems like unlimited options. [...] Searching for the optimal option is almost always expensive.""— Matt (@digitalbreed)"This is a really good book and you will learn a lot even if you have been using AWS for a while!"— Pawan Chopra (@minifiedpc)"I’m really enjoying your style of writing, I usually skip big chunks of tech books for irrelevance. I would have finished your book in a day if it weren’t for a cold I caught."— Mohamed Said (@themsaid)"I bought and read this AWS guide written by two former AWS employees. Highly recommended."— Steve McLeod (@steveofmcleod)"Bought "The Good Parts of AWS" from @dvassallo!!! Although i don't have enough experience with AWS, it seems to be clear and precise!!! Going to dig in!"— Demetris Mina (@MinaDemetris)"Really enjoying “The Good Parts of AWS” - nicely written @dvassallo"— Aidan Keane (@aidankeane74)"Just finished reading this book. I highly recommend it to everyone who is interested in or is already working with AWS. You will probably learn a thing or two (or a million things if you are a beginner like me with AWS)"— Davor Minchorov (@davorminchorov)"Comparing each service in AWS to a data structure is a great way to explain them, props to @dvassallo who did this in his excellent The Good Parts of AWS."— Francesco Di Lorenzo (@frankdilo)"Btw, I really love “The Good Parts of AWS” by @dvassallo & @josh_pschorr. Almost half-way!"— Prosper Otemuyiwa (@unicodeveloper)

From June 29 to July 31 this year excavations were again conducted on the rocky islet of Vryokastraki, opposite Vryokastro (i.e. the ancient city of Kythnos). It was a collaborative excavation of the Department of Archaeology of the University of Thessaly’s Department of History, Archaeology and Social Anthropology with the Cyclades Antiquities Ephorate of the Ministry of Culture and Sports.  Fig. 1.

In the centre of the photo is the three-aisled  Early Byzantine basilica; Below is Building Complex 2; Top left is the Sanctuary dating from the Geometric and Classical periods and beneath it is the Altar [Credit: Kostas Xenikakis] Vryokastraki has been inhabited continuously from the 12th century BC to the 7th century AD, while there are now clear indications of the presence of a Cycladic settlement from the 3rd millennium BC (figs. 1-2). The works focused on the three areas investigated since 2018: the monumental sanctuary of Geometric-Classical times, the elongated Building 2 of Late Antiquity and the three-aisled early Byzantine basilica. The results were particularly significant this year as well. The Ancient Sanctuary Research in the ancient sanctuary (figs. 3-4) located in 2019, was limited to the excavation of undisturbed layers so as to date the construction of the monumental terrace and also to acquire a better understanding of the nature of the cult. Like last year, Geometric and Archaic ceramics of exceptional quality were collected (fig. 5). The shapes are mostly small and closed, such as hydriai, oinochoe and prochoi, while  miniatures have also been found. The finds include a few, mainly female, clay figurines and some bronze votive offerings, such as miniature buckles and other jewellery (fig. 6). Fig. 3.

Votive offerings from the sanctuary (copper buckles, head of a female clay figurine) [Credit: Kostas Xenikakis] Fig. 7.Early Christian clay oil lamp [Credit: Kostas Xenikakis] These findings are probably related to some female deity. Moreover, one can conclude that the terrace was constructed in classical times so as to build a temple on it, of which only some carvings survive on the bedrock as an early Christian settlement developed in the region (an intact North African oil lamp of the second half of the 6th century, (fig. 7) belongs to the last phase of the site’s use). To the east there was a monumental altar carved in the natural rock, very eroded today. Building Complex 2 In the second section, the extensive unearthing of the Early Byzantine building complex 2 was completed (fig. 3 in the foreground). It is made up of a fortified linear enclosure, with a total length of 76 meters. The wall, with an average width of 1.20-1.50 meters, blocks the only access to the islet facing the ancient port. On its inner side it contains 15 successive rectangular rooms (Β-ΙΣΤ), each with an entrance to the islet’s interior. Fig. 8. Area Η. Upper section of a storage jar in situ [Credit: Kostas Xenikakis] Fig. 9. Area B. Moment of finding of the inscription referring to the pirate Glauketis [Credit: Kostas Xenikakis] The initial phase of the fortification and the sites seems to date back to the Archaic period at least, but an in-depth research to clarify the phases of the building complex could not be carried out this year. Approximately in the middle of the length of the complex (Room H) an entrance gate was discovered, accessible through an outwork. Inside, next to the entrance, a small room was found with storage jar in situ and next to it a place for food preparation (fig. 8). Nearby, inside the walled area, a pear shaped tank / cistern was discovered, similar to those of Vryokastro, partially filled with rubble. Fig. 10. Calf of male statue embedded in wall of Area Γ in Building 2 [Credit: Kostas Xenikakis] Fig. 11. Calf of male statue in destruction layer of Area ΙΓ in Building 2 [Credit: Kostas Xenikakis] The strongly constructed northernmost room of the complex (Room B), built above the cliff (fig. 2 right), must have functioned primarily as a fortification. Found among the fallen stones of this room’s superstructure was an interesting honorary inscription concerning a Kleainetos from Aetolia and related to a well-known incident testified by inscriptions found earlier in Athens (IG II² 682 and 549), which mention the pirate Glauketis who had occupied Kythnos at the end of the 4th century BC (fig. 9). The inscription refers to Glauketis, commonly considered as a pirate by scholars, however based on this decree it turns out that he was a nesiarchos (ruler of the islands), a status that the Athenians seem to have hidden. On the wall adjoining room C, a calf from the marble statue of a man (fig. 10) was found embedded in the wall. A pair of similar calves of another marble male statue (fig. 11), as well as two inscribed stones (figs. 12, 13), were found in the ruins of another room (IG), apparently all of secondary use. Fig. 12. Unearthing of inscription in Doric dialect in destruction layer of Area ΙΓ in Building 2 [Credit: Kostas Xenikakis] Fig. 13.

Marble pedestal of statue embedded in Early Christian fortification wall (seen here during stabilizing work on the monument by conservator Lefteris Kosmides) [Credit: Kostas Xenikakis] The inscriptions are very important. One, in Doric dialect (fig. 12), is a resolution passed by the Municipality of Kythnia on some building restrictions as well as the fine to be collected by the theoroi (ambassadors) in case of illegal conduct. The other lengthy inscription refers to the important honors bestowed by the Municipality and the Boule of the people of Kythnos on a person whose name unfortunately has not survived (fig. 13). It is interesting that in a secondary use of the fortification of the Early Byzantine complex (standing as high as Room D), a statue’s marble pedestal was unearthed which retains niches in a circular arrangement on its front side, apparently for attaching two wreaths (fig. 14). Three-aisled basilica Lastly, the excavation outside and around the three-aisled Early Byzantine basilica aimed at further enhancing the monument, as well as investigating the presence of any additional buildings (fig. 15). The limits of the church’s arch were marked out and externally, at the meeting point of the northern aisle with the arch of the inner sanctuary, an upright marble Ionic column drum was discovered (fig. 16). A wall tangent at right angles to the west side of the narthex was also found.  Fig. 15. Aerial photograph of three aisled Early Christian Basilica [Credit: Kostas Xenikakis] Fig. 16. Drum of marble column outside the church [Credit: Kostas Xenikakis] More walls appeared on the south side of the church: a narrow passage runs parallel to its south wall and leads to the south entrance of the narthex, but also to a small horseshoe-shaped area directly to the west. Walls appeared still further west outside the southwest corner of the narthex. Marble members had been used as spolia in the building. For security reasons, some of them, such as the fragments of a table support ending in leopard feet (fig. 17), were detached from the wall and taken to the Archaeological Collection of the Chora.

Two fragments of a marble table support ending in leopard feet in secondary use in the church’s north aisle [Credit: Kostas Xenikakis] The excavation programme is conducted by Professor of Classical Archaeology Alexandros Mazarakis Ainian and Ephor of Antiquities of the Cyclades Dr. Demetris Athanasoulis. Due to circumstances, a small number of postgraduate students and graduates of archaeology from the Universities of Thessaly, Athens, Thessaloniki, Ioannina and Paris 4 participated in the excavation. This year the research was financially supported by the University of Thessaly, the Secretary General of the Aegean and Island Policy and mainly by the generous sponsor Thanasis Martinos. Likewise, the Municipality of Kythnos granted the use of Chora’s Primary School for the programme’s needs. The Captain of the “Marmari Express” provided free ferry tickets to the members of the research team. Source: Greek Ministry of Culture [trsl.
