Breast reconstruction
What is breast reconstruction surgery
With advances in breast reconstruction surgery, about one-third of women undergoing breast removal have their breast(s) rebuilt. Even though medical, surgical and radiation therapy treatments for breast cancer have increased the number of breast-sparing procedures available, nearly one-third of breast cancer patients still require a mastectomy — removal of the breast(s). In addition, other women have their breast(s) removed due to other diseases.
Breast reconstruction surgery involves creating a breast mound that comes as close as possible to the form and appearance of the natural breast.
The goal of reconstructive surgery is to create a breast mound that matches the opposite breast and to achieve symmetry. If both breasts have been removed, the goal of breast reconstructive surgery is to create both breast mounds approximately the size of the patient's natural breasts.
What are the criteria for breast reconstruction surgery?
In general, all women undergoing a mastectomy are candidates for immediate or delayed breast reconstruction. However, there are criteria for selecting the best candidates for the procedure:\
- The size and location of the cancer — which determines the amount of skin and tissue to be removed in the mastectomy — are primary factors when making recommendations for reconstruction.
- Whether tissue has been damaged by radiation therapy or aging, and is not sufficiently healthy to withstand surgery.
- Other considerations include:
- Potential for complications.
- Patient's desires.
- The amount of tissue removed from the breast.
- The health of the tissue at the planned operation site.
- Whether radiation therapy is part of treatment.
- The patient's general health and physique.
- Past medical history.
- Co-existing illnesses.
- Other risk factors such as cardiac disease, diabetes mellitus, smoking and obesity.
When is breast reconstruction surgery performed?
The patient is usually educated and counseled in breast reconstructive possibilities prior to mastectomy, so that she can make the decision for or against reconstruction before going into surgery. Based on the personal medical history of each patient, a recommendation will be made for either:
- Immediate reconstruction – reconstructive surgery performed at the same time as mastectomy.
- Delayed reconstruction – a second operation (to reconstruct missing breast tissue) is performed after recovery from the mastectomy is complete. If chemotherapy is part of the treatment protocol, the surgeon may recommend delayed reconstruction.
What complications are commonly associated with breast reconstruction surgery?
Any type of surgery carries some risk. Patients differ in their anatomy and their ability to heal. Some complications from breast reconstruction may include:
- Bleeding
- Gluid collection
- Infection
- Excessive scar tissue
- Anesthesia problems
The most common complication of breast reconstruction surgery is capsular contracture, which occurs if the scar or capsule around the implant begins to tighten. Occasionally, this (and other) complications are severe enough to require a second operation.
What are the different types of breast reconstruction surgery?
The two most effective approaches available for both monolateral (one breast) and bilateral (both breasts) reconstruction are:
- Expander/implant reconstruction – the use of an expander to create a breast mound, followed by the placement with a permanent filled breast implant.
Expanders are empty silicone "envelopes" placed under the pectoralis muscle, located between the breast and the chest wall. To enable the skin and soft tissues of the breast to grow, the expander is gradually filled with saline solution over a period of several weeks. The saline is injected into the expander through a valve or port in the expander. Once the expander has been completely filled, it is left in for several more weeks to months, allowing for maximal skin and soft tissue growth.
Implants are envelopes filled with liquid that are implanted into the breast tissue, and are used to form the shape of the breast. Implants may be filled with saline or silicone gel. Each type of implant has advantages and disadvantages. Your physician will discuss the types of implants with you and seek your input about the type of implant to be used.
Although there have been questions raised about the safety of silicone gel implants, the Institute of Medicine has published a report that refuted most of the claims about silicone implant hazards. Silicone gel implants are available; however, women who receive them must be enrolled in an ongoing study sponsored by the manufacturers of the implants, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the institutional review board of the facility where the implant procedure is performed.
- Autologous tissue reconstruction – the use of the patient's own tissues to reconstruct a new breast mound. The common technique is the TRAM (transverse rectus abdominous muscle) flap. A TRAM flap involves removing an area of fat, skin, and muscle from the abdomen and stitching it in place to the mastectomy wound.

Bill McDermott, co-CEO of SAP, said that economic prospects, at least in the U.S., had improved.
As an amateur basketball coach, McDermott used a sporting analogy to explain how he viewed the U.S. economy at present.
"I think right now it is around half-time. We are in the locker room and we are saying to ourselves, we are really coming back, we are much better off than we were in the first quarter, and now we are ready to go into the second half with a good plan," McDermott told CNBC on Tuesday.
He added that companies should remain customer-focused, prioritize growth, and adopt new technologies to remain in touch with consumers.
"If we do that, and if we give it everything we have got, we are going to be just fine. Twenty years from now, people will look back at this as the greatest moment in the history of mankind, in terms of business opportunity. When you look at everything in milliseconds in real-time, it does not always come across that way," he said.

The Forum used to be the home arena of the Los Angeles Lakers, but last Saturday, it hosted a very different type of drama: 500 invited guests in a largely empty building got to see the dress rehearsal for Nine Inch Nails' "Lights in the Sky" tour debuting tonight at the Pemberton Festival in British Columbia, and having its full opening show tomorrow in Seattle at the Key Arena. (Rock Daily will be live at both shows, so stay tuned for coverage).
Before the show, Trent Reznor came out in a gray hooded sweatshirt and addressed the crowd, explaining that they were trying out various material, so some parts of the show might not ultimately make it on tour, and that there might be some technical glitches: "Lots of things are going to happen that aren't, let's say, intentional." He concluded, "I'm going to go backstage and throw up, and then I'll see you guys."
The two-hour show was astonishing, covering a wide range of Nine Inch Nails' material, from "Head Like a Hole" through new songs from The Slip and instrumental pieces from Ghosts, which Reznor had never planned to play live. About a third of the way through the concert, Reznor deployed some video screens, but not to enlarge his face for the cheap seats: sometimes the band played in front of a desert backdrop, sometimes the screens responded to the music with colored bubbles (like Guitar Hero in reverse), sometimes the musicians vanished behind a wall of static.
"On stage, it's very easy to tell when you lose people's attention," Reznor told RS later. "Generally at a rock show, the sound is not that great, and the guy next to me is an asshole and I have to pee and okay, that's what these guys look like and that's what's going to happen for the next couple of hours. The world has gotten pretty lazy. It's easy to go out and do a safe show that is all about guys just rocking. I say, 'Fuck all that.'"
Check out the set list from the July 19 rehearsal below, which will probably change. As Reznor put it, "I think too much about this shit."
Nine Inch Nails rehearsal setlist:
"Letting You"
"March of the Pigs"
"Head Down"
"The Frail/The Wretched"
"Gave Up"
"The Warning"
"The Great Destroyer"
"Ghosts 1″
"Ghosts 25″
"Ghosts 19″
"Terrible Lie"
"The Big Come Down"
"Ghosts 31″
"The Hand That Feeds"
"Head Like A Hole"
"The Beginning Of The End"
"The Good Soldier"
Y en PortAltenativo comentan
Al parecer, pasada la hora de concierto, el líder Trent Reznor sale al escenario a tocar un vibráfono junto al bajista Justin-Meldal-Johnsen, que toca un contrabajo, para interpretar varios temas del cuádruple álbum instrumental "Ghosts I - IV".
A ver cuando vienen a España

I had a number of things on my "to do" list for this break. Go to IKEA, go see a movie, buy a book and read it through, play World of Warcrack, etc. But one thing that was nowhere near my list was "go purchase a new car."
Back in January of 1994, I was teaching in my first year of teaching and felt I could afford to buy my first car. I'd been driving mom and dad's old 1984 (IIRC) Dodge Omni, but I wanted my own car. It had 3 criteria - had to be manual transmission, had to be green, had to have air conditioning. Everything else was extra. Well, I found a lovely green Dodge Shadow that was manual and had A/C (and not much else in the perks biz. They did put in an aftermarket tape player for me - it was cheaper than getting one already in).
So for the last 20 years, I've been driving the Shadow, which I named Miriam after Lovejoy's car. (I'd called the Omni Bessie after the Doctor's car). It's been a wonderful car and despite a few issues (A/C crapped out at the end of last summer, trunk doesn't stay open, rusting on top, starting to leak, more things shake than should, etc) I had intended to use it for several more years to come.
Spring Break begins and my parental units ask me what sort of plans I have for the break. I tell them stuff from above and some more ideas and they ask "and are you going to go looking for a new car?" Wait, what? It turns out they've been a little concerned about Miriam getting me to and from places, despite the fact that she's a very reliable vehicle. Well, she's a very OLD and reliable vehicle. That has survived my "benign neglect" style of management. So the seed was sewn... Would it grow?
Alas, it grew. So I gathered up the list of "non-negotiables" and "negotiables" and "don't really care" for my "dream" car and we went out car shopping. Here were my non-negotiables: Great mileage, 4-door and mom and dad had to be able to get into and out of it easily, air conditioning, bluetooth audio system (or installation of aftermarket), ability to put a bike rack on it. My negotiables (if I *had* to change them): manual tranmission (though I knew automatic was more prevalent and might be easier to get), green or purple paint job (which I figured would be hard to get), and cruise control. I knew I'd buy the vehicle. After all, I bought my first car all those years ago.
We started out by going to Ron Irwin's Crysler/Dodge/Jeep where I'd originally purchased my Shadow. Thankfully Ron wasn't in himself (he's a very good salesman). I tried out a manual transmission Dodge Dart and it was fine, but didn't really have much in perks. So our next stop was Honda.
The salesman at Honda, Wally, was very nice and knew a lot about their product. The car with the best mileage (that was in my price range - so hybrids were out) was the Honda Civic. I test drove one and liked it. They didn't have green, but the red was a very pretty maroon/burgundy. When we looked at purchasing options, Wally also suggested leasing. When he brought back the numbers, they were... impressive to say the least. For $187/mo for 35 months, I could lease the car (if I got the automatic). No money down. I returned home to research the Civic and the bluetooth sound system. I also checked through my budget to see if I could afford to buy (was pretty sure I could lease it with my budget).
The next day, the folks took me to Kia to check out their options. I was surprised to discover that the Rio actually had worse mileage than the Civic. They also didn't have a green car and manuals were rare. And their prices were nowhere near what I was offered from Honda. So then we checked out the Toyota place. Finally, a green car. Not manual, but still, green. And a (slightly) better mileage than the Civic. However, it was more expensive. And when they brought the numbers to me, for purchase and for lease, neither were as good as Honda's offerings (though the 0% finiancing was a perk). Basically if I'd wanted the Toyota, I'd be putting money down. And since car buying had been nowhere in my immediate plans, I had other plans for my current crop of savings.
Although the Toyota Corolla was very tempting (and would still be an automatic), I had made my decision before we left the dealership that we'd go to Honda to sign that lease. Sadly, Wally was off on vacation at that point (well, not sadly for HIM, heh) but he had left clear instructions for his supervisor and they took good care of me. No issues with credit (my score was over 800 - whee!) and we scheduled the pick up for the next day (today) at noon. I was unable to sleep last night.
This morning, I got up early and got Linus off to the vet for his first teeth cleaning. He wasn't too happy with me since he didn't even get any breakfast. Then I headed off to the folks. Mom and I shopped at Kohl's (got a few shirts) and then off to the book store (bought Neil Gaiman's Fortunately the Milk) and then we got dad and headed off to Honda for my car. Took about an hour with paperwork signing and the showing off of the car's systems. They even helped me with syncing my phone to the car. Then I got to drive her home!
So now I have a Honda Civic LX that is a burgundy red, an automatic, and I'm leasing her. Soooooo not what I had pictured. But dang, is it all lovely. I think I'm still giddy. I named her Lillian. (See, I've decided my cars are female and should be named after famous cars. But there's not a lot of female famous cars out there. I decided on "my mother the car" and rather than name her Linda after my mom, I named her Lillian, after the name on my mom's birth certificate. (Short version: Grandpa apparently didn't read the birth certificate for detail.))
May I present to you all, my new car, Lillian:

Promoting Mental Wellness
Overall physical wellness promotes learning and growth, so it is easy to see that a child having an asthma attack, suffering from a high fever, or having an allergic reaction would experience significant barriers to learning.
The same is true for mental wellness. A child experiencing anxiety, depression, substance abuse or other forms of mental distress, will also experience significant barriers to learning.
Symptoms of mental illnesses in children can include disruptive behaviour, lack of effort and truancy, but mental illness may also manifest as the quiet child in the back of the class who never makes waves.
And while we tend to think of mental illnesses as rare extremes, they are as common as asthma, fevers and allergies in children. In fact, one in five people, children and adults alike, may be experiencing mental illness at any given time. And like all illnesses, if left unchecked, symptoms can become more severe and treatment more difficult.
Childhood and adolescence are vulnerable times of both mental and physical growth, but the good news is that many forms of mental illness are preventable, by building safe and caring environments for children, teaching them and having them practice mental wellness strategies, and identifying problems early, so specialized or community supports can be provided where needed.

State Horse of North Carolina: Colonial Spanish Mustang
by Karen McCalpin
Reprinted from the Tar Heel Junior Historian, Fall 2008.
Tar Heel Junior Historian Association, NC Museum of History

In June 2010 the North Carolina General Assembly adopted the Colonial Spanish Mustang as the Official Horse of the State of North Carolina in Session Law 2010-6. Every individual horse is different, however the Colonial Spanish breed has been characterized by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy as "renown for their even temperament and gentle dispositions."
The request to designate the Colonial Spanish Mustang as the Official State Horse was submitted by numerous students from Shawboro Elementary School in Currituck County in conjunction with the Corolla Wild Horse Fund.
The wild horses of North Carolina's Currituck Outer Banks have survived more than four centuries of hurricanes, fierce winter nor'easters, and swarms of biting insects. Graced with a strong, inner sense of self-preservation, the horses enjoy a rich and distinguished history.
The Outer Banks consist of a series of barrier islands made entirely of sand. They stretch 175 miles south from the Virginia border to Cape Lookout National Seashore. Once a hideout for pirates, the area now attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists. What has been good for the economy has taken a toll on the wild horses. Expensive vacation homes have replaced secondary dunes once covered by sea oats. Vast stretches of open land from the town of Duck to Corolla have disappeared. According to National Geographic, five to six thousand wild horses lived up and down the state's coast as recently as 1926. Now, only about 220 remain. A herd of one hundred wild horses lives on the north beaches of Corolla, in Currituck County. The others live on Shackleford Banks—part of the Cape Lookout National Seashore—in Carteret County.
These horses descended from the fine horses of Spanish conquistadors—Colonial Spanish Mustangs brought to the New World from Spain, as well as from breeding farms in the West Indies and South America. Because Spanish exploration was approved and funded by the country's king and queen, only the finest stallions and mares went along on those journeys. By 1500 large breeding ranches had been established to produce the best horses of that time—the horses of rulers and nobility—with a mixture of Spanish Barb, Arabian, and Andalusian blood.
Three main theories exist as to how the horses ended up in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. One states that as ships wrecked and sunk, the strongest horses aboard may have swum to the barrier islands. Another is that as some ships hit dangerous sandbars, they could no longer float. Excess weight had to be pushed overboard, including animals. The third is that they were left behind when a colony was abandoned due to disputes with American Indians or devastating illnesses.
Regardless of how the wild horses of the Outer Banks arrived, they have become an icon and part of both North Carolina's and America's heritage. The Shackleford and Corolla herds are registered Colonial Spanish Mustangs. Their small numbers have placed them on the critical breed list of the American Livestock Breed Conservancy and the Equus Survival Trust. Both national groups work to save endangered breeds of livestock. The next category is extinction.
The Shackleford horses enjoy federal protection from the Shackleford Act written in 1997 by U.S. congressman Walter B. Jones. The herd must be maintained at a size of no less than 120 to 130 horses to keep it genetically healthy.

Shopping has long been a favorite past time of Hong Kongers, which is apparent in the massive shopping malls, as well as the countless markets. There's no doubt that Hong Kong is an excellent high-end shopping city. Multiple outlets of Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Cartier dot the streets like Starbucks in New York City. But if your idea of traveling doesn't involve seeing the inside of a mall, then Hong Kong's diverse markets are for you.
My time in Hong Kong was cut short due to Typhoon Haiyan, so I was even more grateful that I was touring the city with my favorite private guided company, Kensington Tours. Since it was my first time in Hong Kong, I wanted to see the highlights of the city. Of course, that included shopping in the markets. With a driver and the advice from my guide and lifelong Hong Konger, Katie, I moved efficiently from one place to the next. Though, even with an expert in tow, I still wasn't able to see all of the city's markets, but here's the rundown of the ones I did visit.
Temple Street Night Market
Located near the center of Kowloon, Temple Street Night Market started as a make shift market with hawkers selling food and small items. In the 1920s, it became a more organized market, and now is one of Hong Kong's most popular tourist destinations.
Although Temple Street becomes pedestrian-only at 2:00 pm, most vendors don't set up until later in the day. But once the sun goes down, the market is a bustling place filled with locals and visitors alike.
The hawker stalls contain a variety of goods including small electronics, jewelry, shoes, clothes, art, purses, traditional Chinese crafts, luggage, and t-shirts. The quality of these items varies, but Temple Street is a great place to grab some inexpensive souvenirs, but don't take the initial price—bargain. As expected, there are some knock-offs in the stalls, though "designer" purses are not prominently displayed. Instead, men holding photos of the copies are stationed along the walkway, inviting market goers to check out their inventory.
Temple Street is also a popular spot for dining. From street food to cafes to restaurants, there are multiple delicious options for a snack or full dinner. Seafood, soup, noodles, and dumplings are among the most popular offerings.
In addition to the bargains, food, and people watching, Temple Street Night Market is also a traditional area for fortunetellers. Not actually in the market, the fortunetellers are located near the temple gardens. Look for signs indicating English speakers if interested in a reading.
Stanley Market
Once a fishing village on the island of Hong Kong, the Stanley Market was also where the British surrendered to the Japanese during World War II. Now, it's a place for tourists to score good deals and dine near the waterfront.
Things are a bit more laid back in the Stanley Market. For the most part, vendors aren't too pushy or persistent. Instead, the market feels more like a series of regular stores. Although there are plenty of low-quality knick-knacks, the Stanley Market is best for embroidered table and bed linens, silk clothes, and cashmere. In order to avoid the crowds, morning is the best time to visit.
Flower Market
On the island of Kowloon, over fifty storefronts line Flower Market Road selling fresh cut flowers and potted plants. Once a place for florists to buy merchandise for their shops, the Flower Market has grown into a tourist destination and a place for people from Hong Kong to buy small plants and fresh flowers for their apartments.
Brought in from Mainland China, the shops are filled with brightly colored blooms, stunning {and inexpensive} orchids, and bamboo plants, which are said to bring financial fortune. Sadly, none of the beautiful blooms can be taken out of Hong Kong, but the Flower Market is still worth a visit.
Yuen Po Street Bird Garden
Around the corner from the Flower Market is the Bird Garden. Interesting enough, the Bird Garden emerged from Hong Kongers bringing their caged birds to a nearby dim sum restaurant in order to enjoy their music. Noticing this trend, vendors then began selling bird feed nearby. Once the restaurant was torn down, the large number of hawkers moved to Hong Lok Street, later renamed to Bird Street. In the late '90s, the market was again moved.
Now, Yuen Po Street Bird Garden is home to more than 70 stalls selling birds, bamboo cages, porcelain water dishes, and live grasshoppers for the birds to eat. Even more culturally interesting is watching the elderly gentlemen who proudly show off their birds in the garden. Having the most beautiful bird with the loveliest song is a huge source of pride and also a bit competitive amongst the men.
Jade Market
Believed to bring good health and ward off evil, jade is prized by the Chinese. The highest quality pieces of jade can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and are passed down from generation to generation. Visitors won't see those kinds of pieces at the Jade Market. Instead, various trinkets, bracelets, pendants, beads, and earrings of low-grade or fake jade are found.
Located in a non-descript building on Kowloon, the Jade Market is a one-stop shop for those looking to take a piece of Hong Kong tradition home. Fifty or so vendors proudly display their stock to would-be buyers. In order to not over pay, take a look around the market, and remember that most of the jade is either lower quality or made from glass or soapstone that's been dyed.
Although jade is the primary product in the market, there are also antique-looking Chinese trinkets and other tchotchkes. The Jade Market is a good place for inexpensive mementos from Hong Kong, but don't count on them becoming family heirlooms.
Options abound in Hong Kong, and it seems as if there is a market for everything. Other popular shopping spots include the Ladies' Market, Goldfish Market, Cat Street for antiques, and Apliu Street Flea Market for electronics. When shopping the markets of Hong Kong, bring plenty of cash, keep an eye on your wallet, and get ready to bargain.
I was a guest of Kensington Tours. In no way was I swayed to write a positive review based on the luxurious chauffeured Mercedes, my accommodating and friendly guide, or the treasure trove of goodies I brought home. As always, opinions are mine.

Leah, you've got such a way with words. Absolutely adore that disclaimer. And you're quite handy with a camera too.
I have to say that the bird garden, while initially kinda cool with the uniqueness of it all, started to bother me the longer I stayed. All those beautiful birds in cages, rather than be free in the world. After some time looking at all the people and all their pet birds (and yeah, all those cricket/bug jars), I had to leave. But I really liked the idea of finding different kinds of markets in Kowloon!
Great article ! Hong Kong is really beautiful and one of my favourite destination to explore. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful information about its markets.
These markets looks amazing! And those orchids at the flower market are just beautiful – I absolutely adore orchids. I must admit I was pretty disappointed with the markets we visited in Bangkok, but it looks like I need to head to Hong Kong.
I do love markets, Leah! They really say a lot about a culture. Glad you enjoyed these tours!
I am not much of a shopper whether it is a mall or market. I do enjoy walking around and people watching and then finding some food and a beer. I am sure I could find that in Hong Kong.
Based on your descriptions, I think I'd like Stanley Market best. I have no patience for pushy vendors.
Ace post Leah! I'm very curious though – Did you buy absolutely loads of goodies? Or were you just very stealthy with the camera? Because I saw so many signs saying "NO PHOTO", particularly in Temple Street market.
Great to read about the ones I didn't manage to get round to too. Although I deliberately missed out the bird one – I would not have liked being near that many birds haha!
Shopping is a major part of our travels, although it usually means my wife shops while I walk around with my son who despises the idea of it. We would enjoy these markets. Walking markets is something he actually enjoys. I've been interested in Hong Kong since I was in the second grade. I was gullible enough to believe a classmate when he said he and a friend along with our music teacher visited Hong Kong the previous night. Because of the time change and a super-fast jet they were able to visit Hong Kong that night and still make it back in time for school. I hate to admit that.
I bought a lot of neat stuff at Stanley Market!
Great photos! I love markets in Asia, so many interesting finds. I definitely hope to do a tour like this when I eventually get to Hong Kong.
oooo i like the jade market A LOT! so fun
Hong Kong is in my wish list of places to visit in 2014. I hope I would be there in Oct 2014.

I _think_ systemtap is locking up the target task.
I am probing both .call and .return on a target user task e.g.
probe process("mytaskname").function("*").call
I am keeping count of how frequently various functions are being called.
I have a timer every 2 seconds generating a report, and an end function generating a final report when I ctrl-c out
But ... sometimes the target task appears to get hung up. Hung so badly that a kill -9 won't even kill it. And it appears that a probe task is stuck as well:
# ps -aef | grep stap
root 25435 1 0 Dec21 ? 00:00:24 /usr/libexec/systemtap/stapio -u/tmp/stapbqH2rI/uprobes/uprobes.ko -R stap_f31ebf1dac687ed521b27e27b05f7a6a_1_25435 -F3
So ... is it possible that the ctrl-c is sometimes not being handled properly, and stap leaves the probe stuck in as it were, hanging the target process so badly that it can't even respond to a kill -9 ?
Has anybody run across a similar problem with systemtap before
Systemtap hangs target task?

Skiathos during Greek Independence War
During all these years the feeling of Freedom was strong although the fact that the island was away from the centre of activities and constituted an easy goal for Turkish fleet it soon opted for the Greek Revolution. The small commercial boats were transformed into militant and the citizens hosted proudly the flag of Revolution under the signal Freedom or Death.
So in 1770 Skiathos participated in the victorious sea fight of Cesme on the side of Russian admiral Alexei Orlov thus later offers men and ships to legendary Greek admiral Lambros Katsonis who combated against Turks by invasions to coastal Turkish places and attacks against Turkish ships.
An event of historic importance for the whole Hellenism was the creation of first official Greek Flag by the heroes of Greek Revolution. The flag (blue background and white cross) was designed, blessed and hosted on September 1807 at the monastery of Evangelistria at Skiathos made by the blue inside part of cassock and the white fustanella of one co-warrior. Under it Nephon adjured the chieftains Theodoros Kolokotronis, Andreas Miaoulis, Papathymios Vlachavas, Giannis Stathas, Nikotsaras the teacher of nation Epifanios-Stefanos Dimitriadis, Lazaioi, Karatasos, Liolios, Tsamis and every warrior who were concentrated in Monastery in order to plan the following moves for Revolution.
Skiathos, at this period disposed a large number of equipped ships with crew that had experience thanks to previous maritime conflicts of "Chieftains of Olympus" in which Skiathos participated until 1816. So the ships of Skiathos contributed a lot to the Combat for Nation's Freedom.
Soon after the outburst of Greek Revolution (on 25th March of 1821) many refugees of nearby regions who were obliged to leave their homes found a refuge at Skiathos when the revolutionary movements were suppressed. The refugees that found a shelter at North Sporades are counted up to 30.000 and theirs origins were mostly from the villages of Pillion, Olympus, Euboea and Epirus. Nevertheless the concentration of such a huge number of persons in such small place caused problems of housing and alimentation and as many of them were armed anarchy was dominated. As a consequence, Skiathos was suffering for years actions of violence and depredation. Liapides were the most violent and they remained in the island even after the majority of refugees returned to their countries or were installed in other places.
In 1823 Turks made a hasty and desperate effort to occupy the island but the result was the decimation of their forces.
In 1829 after the signature of London Protocol that provided for the establishing of Greek State, tributary to Turks people of Skiathos abandoned Kastro and they were installed again in the port where the ancient city of Skiathos was. On 9th October 1831 the first governor of Greece Ioannis Kapodistrias was murdered and Great Powers sent the 17 years old Othon to be the governor of Greece. On 18-30 August 1832 Othon started the negotiations with Turks by discussing the fourth and last London Protocol and one of the conditions posed by Turks were the exclusion of North Sporades from the Greek State, a condition that was not accepted by Othon despite the fact that he was young and had no experience concerning diplomacy.
People of Skiathos abandoned Kastro and they returned to their old city which was built again. Then right after the 4th Crimean War (1853-1856) was started the gold period for Skiathos's navigation and ship building. Shipbuilding, agriculture and commerce were developed and traders and seamen from Skiathos travel all over the world by their sailboats. Soon after the beginning of 20th century, steamboats appeared and the traditional shipbuilding entered at second place. The local society of Skiathos and other islands are unable to follow the evolutions with sore consequences for the economy of island.

The cycling gods have deemed you worthy of a contribution to your funds of £1000, which must be spent on cycling kit rather than a 60-inch 4K television.
We recently asked Cycling Weekly readers what they would do with an injection of cash into their biking coffers, and here are a selection of their answers.
>> Subscribe to Cycling Weekly this Autumn and save 35%. Enjoy the luxury of home delivery and never miss an issue <<
What would you do with £1000? Let us know in the comment box below.
I'd give it all to anyone that could invent a pair of waterproof over-shoes that actually keep your feet dry.
Phil Monteith
Rapha Shadow top, because it looks cool. I like my Ellesse cycling shorts, they're only £20 so I'd buy a couple of those. I think then I'd buy a decent pair of shades (mine cost £4 on eBay), a Garmin 25 because that looks good enough for me, and a subscription to Cycling Weekly for a year, of course. I would probably have some change, so that would go on a sportive!
Terry Hudson
Two sets of budget cycling kits costing £300 maximum in total, leaving the rest to spend on the purchase and refurbishment of an old steel frame. It's no good having kit without a decent bike to ride.
Jeremy Scott
Some stronger wheels to cope with all of these bloomin' potholes!
Adam Coatham
With wages as they are right now, I'd buy the controlling share of a women's pro team for three years.
Thomas Willingham
As much Assos gear as I could get. Always wanted some but couldn't afford it.
David Taylor
>>> The best deals on groupsets available right now
Nothing, I've already got all the kit I need (well, maybe a pair of winter gloves that actually keep your hands warm as claimed). I'd be more inclined to get in touch with the local juniors setup or similar programme that gets kids started in cycling, and see if they need any kit. That's surely more beneficial than a couple of expensive tops and bib shorts that'll sit in the cupboard for all except the one or two perfect cycling days of the year.
Steven Saunders
Loads of Spokey Dokeys.
James Baggott
A power meter. Nothing else is going to help me go quicker.
Steve Hislop
Two Charge Plug One singlespeeds. One for dry rides and one for wet, which I would never, ever clean! Who am I kidding. I'd be all over it with my Fairy and my Muc-Off every time I used it.
Dave Rowe
Watch: How to puncture-proof your tyres
A cycling holiday.
Dominic Chatfield
Custom-made, proper fitting bib shorts for girls with fat bums and thighs. I can currently buy men's stuff (long in the leg), eBay specials (with fingers crossed) or the FLAB pedal pushers (not bibs).
Liz Johns
I'd get a Movistar team kit, and then a Garmin and that new car detector thing (that could be very helpful). I'd have some money left over.

Melbourne [Australia], Jun 12 (ANI): The fifth edition of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) will be a standalone tournament for the first time in its history.
WBBL, which will be followed by the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2020 Australia, will commence under lights at North Sydney Oval on October 18 and end with the Grand Final on December 8.
India batters Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur have competed in the tournament. Last year Mandhana donned Hobart Hurricanes' kit while Harmanpreet sported Sydney Thunders' jersey.
Each team will play 14 matches with the finals festival weekend hosted by the top-ranked team, featuring the top four playing off in semi-finals before the finals. 23 of the 59 matches will be broadcast, with the remaining available on cricket.com.au.
"This is monumental for the women's game. The players showed that last year with more totals of over 150 than the first previous three seasons of the rebel WBBL combined, all culminating into an incredible standalone finals festival weekend," Cricket Australia Executive General Manager fan engagement, Anthony Everard said in a statement.
"Moving the entire tournament to its own standalone period is the first step towards achieving that ultimate goal of being the best women's league in the world, giving the world's best female cricketers from across the globe the platform to show fans what they are capable of," he added.
The tournament will build on the momentum from the fourth edition which showcased some incredible cricket, including two semi-finals that were on a knife's edge by the last ball of the match.
The final attracted a record-breaking television audience of 479,000, in addition to a sold-out crowd at Drummoyne Oval in Sydney where Beth Mooney inspired the Brisbane Heat to their inaugural WBBL crown.
"It's something we've been building towards and last year's final series has proved that the WBBL is ready to stand on its own two feet. Festival weekends will also give families the best chance to come and experience the game all around the country," Everard said.
There will be seven festival weekends, with the remaining matches played across the country. Sydney festival weekend will run from October 18 to 20 at North Sydney Oval, AB Field will host Brisbane festival weekend from October 26 to 27, and WACA will see Perth festival weekend from November 1 to 3.
Adelaide festival weekend will be hosted at Karen Rolton Oval from November 9 to 10, Drummoyne Oval will host Sydney Festival Weekend from November 15 to 17, Hobart festival weekend Blundstone Arena from November 22 to 24 and Junction Oval will see Melbourne festival weekend from November 30 to December 1.

About a week ago, I was stretching by my parked car before a run on my favorite local path when I saw a young girl, maybe nine or ten years old, get out of a car with her dad. I overheard their conversation as she was stretching while her dad unloaded his bike.
She looked at him and said, "I hope you can bike fast because I am a really fast runner."
Her confidence was beaming and she started running down the trail ahead of her dad, calling for him to catch up.
I started my run about five minutes later and saw her about a half mile down the trail. I made eye contact with her dad and I couldn't stop smiling — her innocence and youthful love of running seems so rare for girls her age, and you could tell that he was so proud of his little girl.
I go to that path at least once a week and this was the first time I saw a young girl exercising. Why is that?
By the age of 14, girls drop out of sports twice as often as boys. According to the Women's Sports Foundation, "factors such as social stigma, lack of access, safety and transportation issues, costs and lack of positive role models, can all contribute to the reasons why girls drop out of sports in their adolescent years."
As a female runner myself and a coach of female runners, I am saddened that so many girls quit or never take up sports. It kills me that so many young girls are worried sports aren't feminine, or are so self-conscious or even hate their bodies before they are even 10 years old.
Over 80 percent of 10-year-old girls are afraid of being fat. By middle school, 40 to 70 percent of girls are dissatisfied with two or more parts of their body, and body satisfaction hits rock bottom between the ages of 12 and 15.
Low self-esteem and confidence typically leads to a high likelihood of physical inactivity and dropping out of sports at a young age. Since their confidence levels and belief in their abilities is low, often girls and young women are afraid of failure in sports so many don't even try sports in the first place.
Only 4% of television sports coverage is dedicated to women's sports and that percentage is trending down.
There is a lack of positive female sports role models in the media and most communities. Girls often do not see confident, strong, powerful and athletic women on television, in print, or out in the real world. Instead, media and often language and behavior at home and in the community reinforces the idea that physical appearance is the most valuable characteristic in women.
Listen to girls talk about themselves and each other. Often you'll hear girls criticizing other girls who are confident, strong, or athletically competitive, or minimizing those characteristics in themselves. Meanwhile, these characteristics are praised in boys.
Young girls need strong and athletic role models in their lives to encourage participation and normalize athletics and competition in female lives. Telling girls sports are great is one thing, but tween and teen girls don't always listen to their parents. Therefore, having adult women participating in sports serving as role models for girls is crucial.
When you run on the public roads or out at the park, that's exactly what you're doing. But we can do more. I'm already kicking myself for not taking 10 minutes out of my run last week to talk with the girl I saw out on the path. We can volunteer with programs like Girls on the Run, or at elementary schools. We can encourage nieces, cousins, and siblings to participate in sports.
We can coach. Right now there are schools and sports clubs that are in desperate need of coaches in your area. Some of the positions even pay. We can coach sports other than running even, especially at the youngest youth levels where the focus is on participation rather than competition and skill mastery.
Most women and girls believe being beautiful is something to aspire to. Rather than slamming that belief, we can go with it and work to redefine what beautiful is. We need to encourage girls that being beautiful is more than stereotypical photo-shopped Barbie-like images they see in the media, that being beautiful does not necessitate obsessing about weight or size, or micromanaging what one eats.
"Since sportswomen must have an athletic body in order to meet the demands required by their sport while simultaneously trying to maintain society's ideal feminine body-image standards, it is not uncommon for them to feel forced to face a lose-lose situation."
Uniforms are something that seem innocuous, but often can discourage girls from participating in sports or, if they do, can often lead to disordered eating and body image. So many girls feel insecure by revealing uniforms. The fear of looking "fat" or "too big" or the tendency for a girl to compare her body to the bodies of the athletes around her can lead to dieting, eating disorders, or dropping out of sports all together.
We adult athletes need to rock our running outfits with our imperfect bodies — without fixating on them. Just run or jump or kick with your cellulite, your arm flab, your chub rubbing. It's normal, so act like it. Calling attention to it, covering it all up, calling others brave who dare venture out in public or post photos of their body imperfections is only reinforcing the idea that a woman's appearance is the most important thing about her. Think about a girl running a race while worried about her butt jiggling. Do you want that? Of course not. If you want girls to run free, we adults need to too.
We need to quit with the social stigmas. Despite massive steps towards freeing people from the confines of gender roles, harmfully narrow ideas of what it means to be female persist. Just because a girl or woman is athletic, doesn't mean she is gay, ugly, or masculine and even if she is any of those things, so what? There is no right way to be female and we adults can help here by checking the way we talk about gender roles ourselves.
"As female athletes continue to persevere and work through various gender constraints, they also begin to redefine what it means to be a sportswoman in Western culture, which is an initial step towards redefining femininity."
Next time you go out on a run, think about a girl looking out a car window watching you. What do you want her to know?

VPN is the abbreviation for Virtual Private Network. It is a technology that allows you to create an encrypted tunnel between the user's device and the network, so that it can secure transmitted data and protect your privacy. By using VPN, the user connects to the Internet through a special proxy server. In this text we will explain exactly what a VPN is, how VPN works, what applications it has and what it can be used for.
What is VPN?
VPN is a service that is increasingly used not only by people from the IT industry and employees of large corporations, but also by ordinary Internet users. People who are looking for information on the security of the network and ways to protect privacy sooner or later go to the concept of VPN appearing in various places.
VPN literally means Virtual Private Network, virtuality in this concept refers to the fact that it is a network that does not exist physically. It functions only as a contractual linking of two objects that communicate with each other via a public network. Private – because only certain people who have been authenticated have access to it, and external entities are not able to access it.
The content of data exchanged through a VPN is protected from third-party access. If you want to answer the question of what is a VPN, you can enter the simplest definition of VPN – it is an encrypted tunnel that connects two points in the network. Thanks to these VPN properties, we get the ability to transfer data in such a way that devices connected via VPN are also physically connected with the help of an ordinary network.
How does VPN work? What is a VPN server?
In connection with the Internet via a VPN, a special proxy server is involved, which is defined as a VPN server and is necessary for the operation of such a network. It is between this server and the user device that an encrypted tunnel is created, to which data is safely transmitted. This VPN property, which allows you to create a secure, encrypted tunnel coming out of our computer and connecting us with a special proxy server, secures our communication in the network against access by third parties. Only the outgoing connection from the VPN server is decrypted. In this way, the VPN server protects its users from theft of data by cybercriminals, eavesdropping or analysis of traffic from third parties, and allows to hide the location and IP in the network – but more on this later in this text.
Connection to VPN can be configured not only on the computer, but also on the Android phone, iPhone, tablet or router. The latter option is particularly useful, because it allows you to secure the entire home network – all connections will go through the VPN server before they reach the Internet.
By connecting to the Internet using VPN, our real IP address is hidden. We are visible in the network by means of a new IP address, which is assigned to us by the VPN server with which we are currently connected. All websites on the Internet will identify us based on its IP address and physical location – online forums, social networks or VOD services. Explaining this more vividly – if we connect to the German VPN server, we will obtain a German IP address, and all services on the Internet will think that we are physically in Germany. Our real IP address will be invisible and inaccessible.
The VPN server is a specially configured server in the network that deals with the service of connections and operates based on a dedicated server or VPS. The user logs on to the server using the appropriate login and password and after authentication can connect through it to the network. If we do not want to purchase a VPN service from a commercial vendor, we can choose to configure it yourself, but a ready-made VPN is in many cases a much better solution.
Configuration and operation of a VPN server can be based on several different VPN protocols. They differ in speed, the degree of encryption, the level of security provided and the technical solutions used. The most commonly used and popular VPN protocols include:
- L2TP/IPSec
- IKEv2
- OpenVPN
- SoftEther
Currently, the open source OpenVPN protocol is considered the best protocol in terms of security and privacy.
The role of the VPN server is to decrypt data sent through the tunnel by the user and then forward them to the global network. The same applies to data coming from the Internet. The server encrypts them and then sends them to the user.
Proven VPN providers
Knowing what a VPN is, we come to the moment of answering the question – where to get such a service? There are many commercial providers of paid VPN services on the market. Here you can find a list of the best VPN networks available on the market.
Network security
Using VPN increases our security while using the network. By connecting to the Internet via VPN, we encrypt and thus hide all our online activity from outsiders. Thanks to this, cybercriminals are not able to capture our data, passwords or confidential information that we send. The Internet or service provider will not be able to eavesdrop on, analyze and monitor what content we view or what we do on the web. People who would like to get to know our activity in the network will only see a string of encrypted, meaningless data, which with the current computing capabilities can not be broken.
Our network activity, websites visited and data sent will be protected. No one will be able to monitor what we do, write and what we are interested in. We should think seriously about using VPN when using public WiFi networks – when using them, what we do on the network can be easily overheard and captured – encryption provided by VPN protects against this. Without encryption, all our activity, passwords, message content or files sent may fall into the hands of unauthorized persons and be used for malicious purposes. While if we use WiFi at home or work, where only authorized people have access to the network, we can feel quite safe (unless someone breaks into our network) in the case of public networks, everyone with the appropriate knowledge and tools, can capture content sent by other users.
VPN also has its application in business. Small and medium-sized companies and large corporations commonly use it to provide their employees with secure access to corporate network resources from anywhere in the world where they will work. Thanks to this, remote work from home, during a delegation to another country or directly from the customer's seat can be done without any obstacles. All you need is an Internet connection, thanks to which you can establish a secure connection with the company's network via the VPN server.
Privacy protection using VPN
From the point of view of protecting the privacy of the network, the use of VPN allows you to hide the IP address. Thanks to the intermediary server, our real IP address remains hidden from the network services that we use at the moment. In the network, we are only visible using the IP address assigned to the VPN server, with which we can connect at a given moment. Thanks to this, we can preserve privacy and not reveal our real location – for example on internet forums, on social networks or when using P2P and torrents. If someone wants to track us, it only reaches the VPN server, which is used by hundreds of other users in addition to us.
Change the location of an IP address thanks to VPN
VPN is also a simple and convenient way to change the IP address. In this situation, the services we can buy from the supplier have a huge advantage, as opposed to the independent configuration of the VPN server. Companies offering this type of services have in their offer a very large number of servers located in different countries. Thanks to this, we can freely change the country through which we will connect (eg to the USA, Great Britain, France, Russia). The best providers usually offer more than 50 available countries in which they have more than 2,000 servers.
In the case of the VPN configuration itself, obtaining a large range of IP addresses that we can use is more problematic and expensive, because the price does not spread to a large number of users who use a given server.

The music business, like the newspaper industry, is in a state of flux (that's putting it mildly). More and more, artists are taking the recording process into their own hands. Shore-based singer-songwriter April Smith has an amazing voice and some really great songs.
Now she's trying to get the cash to make an independent album from an unusual source — her fans. Smith is using a new website called "Kickstarter" that provides a funding platform for artists' projects. Pledges to fund the projects are processed through Amazon.com. The pledged money is not collected unless the project reaches its donation goal. In Smith's case, she is seeking $10,000 to make her album. If she doesn't reach that goal by the deadline (11:59 p.m. Sept. 8), then the money is not collected.
Kickstarter says that they charge no fee for providing the platform for artists. So far, Smith has raised more than $5,400, or over half of her goal. What's interesting about the process is that it allows artists to offer incentives for those who contribute. For example, if you pledge $5 or more to Smith, you get a free song download and video updates on the album project; at the other end of the spectrum, if you pledge $5,000 or more you get a free house concert.
For more information about Kickstarter, go to www.kickstarter.com, where you can check out some of the other projects seeking funding. To check out the April Smith Kickstarter site, go to http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/aprilsmithmusic/keep-music-indie-april-smith-makes-a-record.

Advisory Board members Amy and Neal Carter-James won the prestigious 'Tourism For Tomorrow' award in May for their work at the Guludo Beach Lodge in Mozambique.
Guludo's co-founder, Amy, says,
"Our dream was to demonstrate the profound potential tourism has to relieve poverty and address world issues. Receiving this esteemed, international award is not just a deep honour but helps to realise this dream and inspire the rest of the industry."
The announcement was made during a special welcome dinner that took place at the opening ceremony of the Global Travel & Tourism Summit in Las Vegas on 17 May, organised by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC).
Costas Christ, Chairman of Judges, WTTC Tourism for Tomorrow Awards, commented:
"We are entering a new era where sustainable tourism principles and practices are no longer represented by a handful of well-meaning companies. Instead, sustainability itself has emerged as an indicator of tourism quality, alongside traditional quality standards such as excellent guest services. Sustainable tourism is here to stay, and it continues to demonstrate new levels of accomplishment each year."
Among previous achievements, Amy recently co-founded a CR hospitality consultancy, Thin Cats Thinking (thincats.org), which assists hotels and resorts around the world to work more efficiently with local communities and maximise their positive impact in a commercially viable way. She was named Young Social Entrepreneur of the Year, Women in Ethical Business and International Hotel Investment Forum's Young Leader.

Becoming Marie Antoinette: A Novel by Juliet Grey
This consuming confection of a novel follows the intriguing transformation of the young and cosseted Austrian Archduchess into the audacious, compelling and stylish queen of France, Marie Antoinette. This is the first in a series of three by Juliet Grey that begins with the upbringing of the well-known Marie Antoinette. Before the Archduchess could become the now famous Queen of France and wife to the Dauphin and future King, Louis Auguste XVI, she had to transform into a lady fit to rule. The novel takes you through the transformation with lots of splendid and rich detail. I absolutely adored reading about her upbringing and what her childhood was like in Austria. Prior to reading this engaging novel, I was mostly knowledgeable of her life after she became the Dauphine of France. Reading and learning about the majestic Schönbrunn Palace. where Marie spent many of her childhood days was quite interesting! It would please me greatly to visit the Schönbrunn Palace in Austria, I can't wait for that day to come.
I distinctly remember my first view of the Palace of Versaille (also known as Château de Versailles) when I was on a family vacation in fifth grade. I was young but Versaille truly made a lasting impression on my blossoming ten year old mind. The immaculate gardens, glorious fountains, lusciously elegant bedrooms and grandness of it all will never be forgotten. Marie Antoinette's bedroom was the one of the two highlights of the opulent palace. Ornate, glittering, luxurious, gorgeous and grandiose are the best words that I can use to describe the palatial bedroom. The second was walking down the decadent, golden Hall of Mirrors. I have a photograph of me standing in the hall that I will have to find and put it up on my blog soon! Ever since the wondrous day that I walked around the fanciful Palace, I have had a fondness for European history and culture. I have read and watched many historical biographies on the royals of Europe throughout the different centuries. However, I enjoyed reading this elegant novel because it is written as a story from Marie Antoinette's point of view, instead of an outsider commenting on historical facts about the powerful and exquisite Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna Von Habsburg (Marie Antoinette). This is a must read for any Sugared Lemon. It is eloquent and sweet, just the way I like things to be!
I will be honest, just writing this post made me yearn for something fancy. So I just had to stop by La Bonne Ville which is located at the beautiful Grand America Hotel and bought a variety of macarons and pastries that I think would even make Marie herself a little jealous! Quite possibly Queen B Blair Waldorf might be envious 😉
Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous and fancy Monday Ladies and Gents!!

There was a recommendation here before for an Acupuncturist for facial rejuvenation. I can't find it anymore. I would like to try it before going to Botox. Please let me know your experience with it, how it worked for you. Thank you Almost 40
For acupuncture, including Facial Rejuvenation I recommend Andy Seplow. He has an office in Berkeley and also works out of the Claremont Spa. His number at his office is 510 604-5518 and at the Claremont 510 843-3000 - Spa reservations. He is wonderful! A big fan of acupuncture
March 2005
Have anyone tryed Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture? If so how did you like it? Do you have any recomentation of a good acupuncturist in the eastbay? Thank you afraid of botox
Sara Rankin, LAC in Oakland does facial rejuvenation accupuncture. 3382 Piedmont Ave, 510 593-7514. She does demonstrations of her work at the Elephant Pharmacy - that would be a way to check it out. I've only gone to her for regular acupuncture (which has been great), so I can't comment on the rejuvenation treatments. Good luck. Melanie

Our Pull-Down One Layer Niqab is made of our ultra-soft, premium quality chiffon that is comfortable and extremely breathable. Like our regular One Layer Niqab, the niqab ties around the head but has elastics at the sides which attach the face-covering piece to the headband. The elastics make the eye-opening fully adjustable to as narrow or wide as needed. They also make it possible to pull the bottom part of the niqab fully under your chin which is convenient for places like the masjid where you can expose your face but might not want to take off your niqab completely.

The CEO of New America and former State Department official on her new book about how networks are upending statecraft
You write in The Chessboard and the Web that national security today requires the use of networks, not just traditional rivalries and alliances, which you call "the chessboard." How does that square with the rise of nationalism?
If Hillary Clinton had been elected, my book would have been aligned with government policy. Instead, the chessboard is resurgent. Donald Trump's Inaugural Address was a classic statement of chessboard politics.
You write, "The starting point here is not competition between states but the well-being of citizens globally," which seems like the opposite of "America first." Yet President Trump, with his millions of Twitter followers, seems to understand the power of networks.
I think he deeply understands--or intuitively feels--the power of direct connections with voters. But like Barack Obama, he is finding there is a big difference between connecting with voters and creating actual networks that effectively let you get things done.
How is Syria an example?
When you have crimes against humanity targeted at a village or tribe or a particular faith, that problem will spread. The survivors have connections in other countries, and they will move. Or they end up in refugee camps, which become nodes of dangerous connections. What happens to human beings is not unconnected to what happens to states.
Perhaps nationalism is a wish for a less complicated world?
When you hear "Make America great again," that nostalgia is not just for a time when America was more homogenous in terms of jobs, race and gender roles. It may also be a longing for the clear lines of the Cold War — dangerous, but clear.
But surely you're not saying nations no longer matter?
I don't think states are going to be less important. But we are going to have to learn to "see in stereo," as I call it. The world of the chessboard is still there in our relations with Russia, China, Iran — places where we are still playing a straight power game. But we also need to be able to see how we can manage networks strategically for our national security. We have no choice. People are already exploiting networks to threaten us: terrorists, drug cartels, cybercriminals.
The chessboard seeks power over other nations. The web seeks power with other people, right?
Interestingly, among the people who really get the networked world are the military out in the field. They are used to messy stuff. But we need to elevate that to the level of strategy. We have a manual for the strategy of conflict; my book is a manual for the strategy of connection — and not just in foreign policy. Webcraft is for everyone.
Who else gets it?
At the State Department, the women and the young people get it, while the older men might look confused. Women because they never had "power over," so they had to learn to develop networks; young people because it's the world they've grown up in.
For years you were dean of the Wilson School at Princeton, where you were known for attracting an intellectually diverse faculty. Are you alarmed at the intolerance we're seeing on campuses like Middlebury and Berkeley?
I was appalled by the Middlebury experience [where protesters attacked a faculty member]. The woman who was injured is a close friend. All of us have to stand up for the belief that we can have civil discourse. Look around at the rest of the world. Try living in a country where they stop talking and start shooting.

-I am, primarily, a Family and Small Business Photographer. I reside in the Minneapolis area. I adore what I do and am beyond passionate about it. (I'll tell you ALL about my passion anytime you want to listen. I tend to ramble. 🙂 )
-I love to hike. I love to spend time outside in anyway that I can. I also love the simple crafts that nature inspires–sometimes my kids love them too, sometimes, they just think I'm crazy.
-I taught art at the elementary, and middle school, level for years. I also taught preschool for quite a long time. I find my zen in a room full of kids, paint, and excitement.
-I love MN, and I love our weather. I love each season separately for all that it, uniquely, is. (Including, and most definitely, winter. 🙂 )
-I have four kids and I love it when they're all home, and their friends are over, and it's total chaos. I love a full house.
-I adore good black coffee, vodka, most wines, several whiskeys and a few beers.
-I work for a florist, and a candy shop. I have been with them for five years now. I do it all–from website, to social media, to blogs, to customer service; and, definitely, all of their photography.
-I love cakes and cookies, more than gummies, and chocolates.
-I, often times, wear a fanny pack and have zero shame in doing so. (Even when my teenager rolls her eyes at me.)
-I belong to the most amazing church out there. (Or, so I believe. 😉 ) Anoka UCC is where it's at. I do a lot around there–from serving on committee's, to teaching Sunday school, to helping plan events, to managing their social media; and, the obvious one, taking photos.
-I am a huge nerd when it comes to television and movies. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts, Golden Girls, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, Sherlock and Grace and Frankie…they're all the best. I have not seen a rom-com since I accidentally watched one a few years ago, and I hate anything with too much violence. (With GoT as the exception to that one.)

Enter Cambridge and you cross a threshold into a unique world. Cambridge is a place where you can find both style and substance. Creativity blends with innovation and history. Diversity reigns. Art — with a capital A — imbues every neighborhood and walk of life.
Day and night, the arts are seen and heard everywhere in Cambridge. Public Artwork mirrors the city's urban rhythms. Street Performers enliven parks, sidewalks and plazas. While theater-goers wrap around street corners awaiting the next show, jazz, rock, hip-hop and classical music reverberate from cafes, restaurants and nightclubs. Each city square — Central, Harvard, Inman, Kendall, Porter and Trolley — conjures its own soundtrack, colors and flavors.
This winter, try something new in Cambridge! Jose Mateo Ballet Theatre's "The Nutcracker" is the most up-close and vivid version of the beloved holiday story you will ever experience. Sparklefest in Harvard Square offers nonstop events throughout the season — beginning with Folk Music Month and moving on to latkes, tree lighting and artisanal craft markets.
For family fun, visit East Cambridge on Dec. 17 for Kendall Square Holiday on Ice, featuring professional figure skating performances, hot chocolate, pizza and open skating — all free!
Next, can you imagine six human deer dancing? Instead of turtle doves this holiday season, let me suggest a new twist: Winter Solstice Night at the Museum. On Dec. 21 at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, celebrate the start to winter with a performance of the traditional Abbots Bromley Horn Dance by the Christmas Revels' Pinewoods Morris Men, and take in the museum's horns and antlers exhibition.
Eager to flex your musical chops? Check out the many classes and community programs for all ages at Longy School of Music. For powerhouse musical muscle that will warm your heart and soul, you will not want to miss the Multicultural Arts Center's 25th Annual Joyful Noise Gospel Concert with the Harlem Gospel Choir, honoring Martin Luther King Jr., on Jan. 14 in Harvard's Sanders Theatre.
If you think you know Cambridge, get ready for a variety of arts encounters that paint a new picture of this one-of-a-kind city. I invite you to join us this holiday season, and take a walk on the Cambridge side of life!

- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work

Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Realize Your Lab Sustainability Initiatives with no Compromise in Ultra-Low Cooling Performance
When considering the overall environmental impact of an ultra-low temperature freezer, our system provides the most environmentally sustainable solution in the industry–with no compromise in system reliability and performance. The Stirling Ultracold SU780XLE upright freezer provides new levels of lab sustainability by:
- Using less than one third the electrical energy of standard, compressor-based ULT freezer technology, which use as much power as the average U.S. household.
- Offering the first ULT cooling system in the U.S. to use EPA-approved 100% natural refrigerants
- Using an environmentally-friendly foam insulation blowing agent and less raw materials in our freezers
The Stirling engine uses helium as the working fluid, about 10 grams, and a thermosiphon containing about 90 grams of ethane, which connects the engine to the interior of the freezer. Both helium and ethane are natural refrigerants and ethane is also a hydrocarbon refrigerant. Stirling Ultracold was the first manufacturer to have this EPA SNAP approval to use a hydrocarbon refrigerant. This combination of helium and ethane has less than 1/10,000 the global warming potential of the refrigerants used in conventional ULT freezers.
Lowest Energy Use. Best Lab Sustainability
According to the EPA ENERGY STAR®-certified Final Test Method results, our upright SU780XLE is the most energy-efficient ULT freezer, making it the best for lab sustainability. By using the lowest energy per cubic foot of storage (.29 kW/day/cu-ft) in the industry, we are reducing the overall carbon footprint needed to power a laboratory. Every time a facility replaces their old, inefficient standard compressor-based freezers with our SU780XLE freezers, they will see an average 70-75% reduction in their energy consumption.
Zero Waste-Certified Facility
Our Stirling engines are made in a Zero Waste-certified facility where we minimize waste, and recycle or compost to divert essentially all waste from landfill or incineration. All of our employees are trained in Zero Waste principle and practices. This is part of our commitment to the greater good of the environment and the long-term sustainability of our planet.
Real Sustainability Benefits that Support Climate Action Initiatives
The combined effects of energy savings and natural refrigerants have far less overall climate impact than cascade-compressor based freezers. During a typical ten-year lifespan, our freezers will produce about 30% of the CO2 during operation compared to legacy ULT freezers.
Achieving environmental sustainability and energy savings with Stirling freezers also reduces the cost of ownership, bringing financial savings over the operating life of the freezer.
