Brestine
Brestine Canwyl'y (a.k.a. The Queen of Peace)
Brestine Canwyl'y is a name every Ivendarean knows, no matter if Nyr, Assadin, Aapha, or Kitu. Famous, respected, but not without being criticized, Brestine significantly, almost single-handedly contributed to the reunion of Ivendarea after Zerenda's Conquest. Even today she is still actively engaged in the nation's politics, even if "only" as a member of Iovana Panmorn's council.
Brestine was born the first and only child of Iovana Fannyel of Canwyl and his partner Ylla. The couple put great hopes into their child, reflected already by her name meaning "The Shining One". Brestine enjoyed a high-quality education from an early age on, showed a talent in music as well as in magic, has always been an avid reader and curious about the history of the world. Despite her upbringing in Canwyl's Emerald Palace among the upper class she always stayed modest and had an open ear for the struggles of the people. When she came of age, going through her Vath'eran, it was revealed that she was not a past Iovana or great artist or inventor reborn, as many had assumed. In fact Brestine learned that in past lives she had been, amongst other things, a farmer on the slopes of the western Skyreach Mountains, a deckhand who drowned in a storm while crossing the Amber Ocean, and a few more similarly simple or tragic lives and fates lay in her past. It was an explanation at least as for why the "simple" people were so dear to her heart, why she related to them so much, and also why she seemed to absorb any and all knowledge and information and opportunities given to her like a sponge. With her past revealed to her, Fannyel immediately offered her a position in his court's council, and Brestine accepted after a little bit of deliberation. The youngest member of the council of a Iovana several millennia this would have already been enough to secure Brestine a spot in the world's history books, as she dedicated her time to the funding of schools and education programs and significantly helped shape her father's politics to focus more than ever on the uplifting and support of the weakest members of the community - at the expense of funds invested into military, fortifications, and the expansion of Ivendarea's trade network across the seas.
Exile in Panthil
This proved to turn into a fatal weakness of the nation when Zerenda's fleets landed at Ivendarea's eastern shores one day. The city of Beldran fell prey to the invading forces quickly, and as a matter of prudence Fannyel ordered Ylla and Brestine to flee west. Both were reluctant to leave him back, but Fannyel was convinced to find a peaceful solution to the conflict - just in case things wouldn't go as planned, he wanted his partner and child in safety. Only a day prior to Zerenda's arrival in Canwyl, following Fannyel's invitation, Ylla and Brestine fled first to Darras, and when learning that he had been killed by Zerenda, entered a ship that would take them to Panthil as quickly as possible. Zerenda sent ships to go after them, but the dangerous waters and storms surrounding Maan Garth proved to be fatal to many of his men, so he abandoned the plan and let Ylla and Brestine go. Incredibly hard times followed for Brestine. Not only had she lost her home, her beloved father, her mother fell into a deep pit of despair and depression, her health quickly declining. Brestine didn't dare at first to seize the title "Iovana" for herself, despite her parents wishes that, should something happen to either of them, for her to lead the nation onwards. Helpless Brestine watched from afar how the Ivendarean Mainland was drawn into a bloody civil war over and over again, while at the same time she had to care for her dying mother. Decades passed with Brestine torn, but she kept speaking to the people of Maan Garth, refugees spilling onto the island and through Panthil's gates like water through a broken dam, following their Iovana into presumed safety from Zerenda's rule of violence. The Nyr are not known to be fighters, and many had lost their homes to the war. Then Ylla died, and Zerenda conquered Saratheas, committing the atrocious war-crime later known as the Cleansing of Saratheas. Infuriated and grieving at the same time Brestine finally found the strength to act, freeing herself from the paralysis she had been stuck in ever since being forced to leave Canwyl. Knowing that she had failed her people in Saratheas she almost resigned, but those who had fled and survived Sarahteas instead called for her help, still believing that she, the one who had always stood up for the poorest and weakest, would find a way to restore the Ivendarea of old.
Sacrifices made for Peace
She actively began to seek out Zerenda, initiating a regular correspondence via letter - the last thing she wanted was the outbreak of more violence. Saratheas had been basically on lock-down for many years, under military occupation, even the Royal Academy deserted. Brestine was the first Nyr to be allowed back into the city for the now famous peace talks, that led to the signing of a Peace Treaty Brestine had set up, establishing the conditions of a peaceful co-existence. While Zerenda had hoped for a political alliance, an engagement even between Brestine and his eldest son, the Iovana stayed strong and brave. In an act close to an insult she declined the proposal, resulting in effectively banning herself and her descendants from ever entering the Ivendarean Mainland again. In the name of peace though this was a sacrifice she was willing to make. Brestine returned to Panthil, now officially replacing the reigning Pallis there as the ruler of the island, but keeping her status of Iovana. While at peace again, it seemed that Ivendarea would remain torn, Maan Garth developing into its own little nation within the nation, almost entirely inhabited by the Nyr. Brestine did not like this development, would have rather seen Ivendarea whole again, but for the time being this seemed like a goal not to achieve.
Brestine never settled with a partner in Panthil, keeping her liaisons a well-guarded secret. The fact that she became pregnant was not planned, but she was excited about this new chapter in her life. Her daughter Rava was born 64 years after Zerenda's Conquest, decades after the invader had died, and Brestine hoped that one day Rava would succeed her and sit on a throne on the Ivendarean Mainland again. Rava never learned who her other parent was, but it did not bother her much, as Brestine was as dedicated as a mother as she was as the ruler of her people. Supporting her daughter's talents in the same way she had been supported from an early age on, Rava grew into a responsible woman with a great interest in politics and religion alike. When Rava announced that she had found a partner in Panmorn, one of those refugees that came to Panthil after surviving the Cleansing of Saratheas, Brestine felt that the time was coming to hand over the reigns to a younger generation. She had been Iovana for almost 400 years at this point, Ivendarea had stabilized again after the shock of the invasion, and while there was still room for improvement in many areas of life she felt that Rava was more capable to tackle the struggles of the generation that had to build a future in this new nation. The people were sad to see Brestine hand power over, almost out of nostalgia, her having been the last Iovana of the old Ivendarea, and the people simply being used to her making wise and informed decisions. A lot of hope and many expectations were put into Rava as well - and while she was able to fulfill many of them, Rava's story ended up becoming a tragic tale.
The Revolution War and its Aftermath
Becoming caught up in a political conspiracy with the rebel organization later known as the Omrai Omvalis, her trust abused by a former friend, Rava was dragged into a new civil war. Brestine stood by her daughter's side, offering advice and guidance as best as she could, but in the end Rava had to make her own decisions. Determined to end the war she had accidentally started by trusting the wrong people Rava met her tragic demise on the battlefield, leaving behind two young children, her devastated partner Panmorn, and Brestine, shaken to the core once more. The Peace Treaty she had worked on that had secured Ivendarea's peace for centuries was gone and broken, Maan Garth now physically separated from the mainland via a magical barrier, the nation in unrest. Brestine was urged to seize the throne again, but she decided against it. The loss of her only child had torn open many old scars, and seeing how much Panmorn suffered, reminded so much of her own mother and her suffering after Fannyel's violent death, Brestine decided to instead stand by his side and urged him to continue on with life. She couldn't stand the thought of her grandchildren losing both their parents as tragically as she had, and by giving Panmorn a purpose to fight for he managed to continue on as the new Iovana for the time being. Brestine, who had retreated from politics altogether over the course of the last few years, returned now into a familiar position. She joined Panmorn's council, aiding him from behind the scenes, and preparing his children to one day be ready to lead the nation into a prosperous future for the country - if it was not too late yet to save it.

"I'm getting great results following Tom's clear instructions on how to build a robust expert industry business using his suite of digital business platforms. For example, at a live speaking event, I captured the name, email addresses and phone numbers of almost 50% of women in the room, who signed-up instantly for my free ebook using the text-messaging sign-up method and opt-in page that Tom set up for me. Most recently, in my first webinar campaign that we collaborated on, I brought in new client for my high-end coaching program before I even held the webinar itself!"
"I worked with Tom for 3 years to design and build a large NASA IT system from the ground up, which requires extraordinary patience, skill, and experience. Tom's vision for extensibility and a love for clean, robust architectures makes him one of the best system designers/architects in the business. Tom has the innate ability to translate the "tech speak" of software engineers into requirements documents, architecture designs, customer presentations, and any other imaginable medium. Along these lines, Tom is an excellent writer and has a way of getting ideas on paper so that they simply make sense. As a manager, Tom understands both the task-oriented and relationship-oriented aspects of management, and can apply both effectively as-needed. Tom's vast experience on many different types of projects allows him to offer unique viewpoints and lessons learned from having actually "done it before."
"Tom is a digital business consulting GENIUS! I used to be overwhelmed to the point of tears by my sense of defeat with how confused and disorganized I was. I felt stressed out daily because I didn't know where to even begin and I didn't know what I was doing. I even got to the point of quitting because it felt nearly impossible for me to make my own income off of the internet. Not only did he take time to listen to my worries, he took time to break down everything I needed to learn and then taught me how to do it in an organized fashion. He created a personalized road map and business plan for me that took all the stress and time out for me, and now I work towards specific goals with hope, ease and purpose. He integrates many different concepts into a structured approach that makes it easy for entrepreneurs to get started with their online presence, and helps them learn strategic ways to run an online business. I now know what to do when it comes to creating various products to sell online, how to market to my audience, and how to make income" without fear and doubt! His work for me has made an impact on my productivity and my success!"
"Tom has been a fantastic resource for our FB group (H.E.A.L. Holistic Entrepreneurs and Lightworkers), both for individual members and for the group itself. His knowledge of information systems and digital technology, along with his professionalism and great personality, will go a long way in moving your business up a level in online presence."

The Big Idea: Jennifer Brody
Posted on	May 18, 2020 Posted by	John Scalzi	4 Comments
People have dreams — and then they have the dreams that come after that first set of dreams came true. For Jennifer Brody, who created Spectre Deep 6 with Jules Rivera, her new graphic novel is about the latter.
JENNIFER BRODY:
I always wanted to work in Hollywood. Growing up in a small town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, movies were my escape. Well, movies and books and TV. Anything that allowed me to travel to different places and worlds and see how other people lived, even if they were fictional characters. My imagination always ran big and wild, especially because I spent a lot of time bored in school. But Hollywood seemed so exotic and far away—so impossible. An acceptance to Harvard got me out of Virginia, and an internship landed me at Disney.
Disney. Pinch me.
Upon graduating, I knew that I was moving to LA one-way without much money or even a job lined up. It was like that back then. You packed up your car and hit the road. You had to have blind faith. You chased after your dream. You lived on ramen. You had a roommate. You got paid $500 bucks a week. You ran errands and answered phones and started at the bottom. My first job was at Michael Bay's new company Platinum Dunes. The first film we made was a remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We were the first to do the remake thing. Everyone thought we were crazy. My parents wondered if my tuition money had gone to waste.
The film was a hit, earning over $80 million at the domestic box office. Within a year of moving West, I landed my dream job working for the executive producer of The Lord of the Rings. Did I mention that I'm a giant nerd? I'd read Tolkien's classics cover to cover numerous times. A run of book-to-film properties followed on our slate, including The Golden Compass, Love in the Time of Cholera, and Inkheart. Working in Hollywood was a dream come true, albeit a complicated one with its share of workplace toxicity (which has now become quite public).
Despite loving my job, I had an itch that started to grow stronger. It needed scratching. After working on so many wonderful authors' books and helping bring their worlds to life on the big screen, I found myself wanting to write my own big sci-fi trilogy. It took years and tons of work, but eventually I found the courage to do so. The result was my debut novel The 13th Continuum, the first in what would become the Continuum Trilogy. You never forget certain the things. The first time you hold a galley of your first book in your hands—your words printed on real paper. The first time you read in public. For actual people. The first time you sign a book for a fan.
I love writing and building worlds more than anything. But something was still missing. One of the things I most enjoyed about my old job was working with a team to make a film, especially the director. In cinema, the director is the one who really brings the story to life in a visual medium. I've always been driven by collaboration. I love how different creative talents can come together to make something better than the sum of its individual parts. Even just working with a great book editor elevates your work. I was already starting to put my books and stories together for film and TV, but that is a process that takes years and years.
I wanted something that would combine both my love of books and my love of visuals—and that's when it hit me. I needed to write graphic novels. The medium of comics had exploded since I was a kid fueled by the Marvel and DC Comics media empires, and expanded to include more experimental and diverse storytelling. I realized that I could work with an artist to bring my vision to life, and I didn't need millions of dollars to shoot the film or TV show (that could come later, right?). This was the perfect middle ground between books and cinema.
I had stories aplenty—I needed an artist. But they don't just fall out of the sky, or do they?
One fine Saturday, I moderated a panel at AnaCon and a plucky, fiery artist named Jules Rivera. caught my attention. She had green hair (we both had fun hair). She wrote a sci-fi indie comic called Valkyrie Squadron and a feisty web comic called Love Joolz. She had a background in engineering. I hit her up soon after over a sci-fi short story I'd written and published called 200, and then another crazy idea followed about soldiers that died in the line of duty, only to be reanimated by military scientists and brought back as ghosts—actual spectres—to continue to carry out missions for our government in exchange for day passes to haunt their old lives and fix their unfinished business. Spectre Deep 6 was born on an afternoon brainstorming in a hotel lobby in downtown LA (though it could more aptly be named The Secret Lives of Ghosts).
The comics industry can be tough to break into, especially for women. I cautioned her. I thought we'd be lucky to sell one of our proposals. But then my amazing publisher stepped up and offered us a six book deal. Yup, you read that right. Six books! Both series would be built into trilogies. Working in graphic novel proved to be a beautiful middle place between writing prose novels (and trust me, I'm still doing those—my new series Disney Chills publishes in July) and making films. As the artist, Jules takes my words and punches them up and translates them into visuals. It reminds me of working with a director, one who gets your vision.
Jules makes my work better. We work closely together on every aspect of the scripting, character and world designs, visuals, and more. These books—Spectre Deep 6 and 200—are better for our shared imaginations and a touch of insanity. That's how it should be for any creative work, right? I also know that Jules will be my partner in crime for many more projects.

Foreign Minister Leaves Tribunal Out of UN Remarks
Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong addressed the UN General Assembly Monday, offering Cambodia's assistance in landmine removal to other countries, a modest solution on Iraq and a nod of thanks to the importance of climate change recognition.
He did not include mention of the UN-sponsored, $56 million Khmer Rouge tribunal.
Cambodia has had a lot of post-war experience to share with countries that suffer under landmines, he told the nations of the world, and would be willing to provide soldiers for removal of the devices similar to a recent mission to Sudan.
He also called on greenhouse gas producing countries to slowly limit their emissions.
Low-lying Cambodia and its Southeast Asian neighbors are susceptible to the rising sea levels and monsoon shifts that experts warn climate change could bring.
Cambodia's wartime experience demonstrated that a negotiated solution for Iraq's Muslim factions will pave the road to reconciliation, he said.
"Based on our own experience, the only option to bring peace and stability to Iraq, I believe, is national reconciliation with a win-win policy among the Shiites and Sunnies," he said.
Hor Namhong also talked about the war on terror, the dangers of weapons of mass destruction, the UN's Millennium Development Goals and the need to reform the UN. However the foreign minister neither mentioned the tribunal nor the situation in Burma.
Speaking to VOA by telephone from Phnom Penh, opposition leader Sam Rainsy said the minister should have used this important occasion to brief the world body on the tribunal's shortcomings.
"The Cambodian Foreign Minister should have reported to the UN the problems Cambodia is facing in the tribunals," Sam Rainsy said.
On Burma, the opposition leader said Cambodia should have reaffirmed its position against the junta.
Last week in New York, the Asean foreign ministers met with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and afterwards issued a strong statement condemning the Burmese government for its bloody crackdown on monks and pro-democracy demonstrators.
In an interview with VOA Khmer Monday morning, Hor Namhong did address the Burma crackdown and the Khmer Rouge tribunal.
Prime Minister Hun Sen was prepared to help Burma resolve its situation, he said, without elaborating.
The tribunal was "proceeding nicely," he said, adding that he expected more cadre to be arrested now that the chief ideologue of the regime, Nuon Chea, was detained.
"After Nuon Chea, there will be other Khmer Rouge leaders who will be summoned for questioning," he said.
The health of Nuon Chea and the other tribunal defendant, Duch, was a concern, he said.
"I think about it too," he said. "I hope that when they detain them, there will be maximum health observance, paying maximum attention to their health so that those people will remain as witnesses or as being responsible for the most brutal genocide in mankind's history."

The aim behind EHEVF 2018, being organized under the EU Public Diplomacy in India through Policy and Outreach Partnerships Project (EUPOP India), is to promote the EU as a destination for higher education and research for Indian students and researchers and to support the EU Member States and EU-based Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in their efforts towards internationalization of higher education.
The Virtual Fair, which will be held from Thursday 25th October to Sunday 28th October 2018, will provide an online platform to EU HEIs to reach out to future students in India through digital marketing including social media, web presence and webinars.
The Virtual Fair comprises of four main elements:
1. A dedicated website hosting information about the participating EU HEIs which will be promoted amongst the Indian students. Each participating HEI and EUMS will get one webpage/ micro-site on the EHEVF website: www.study-europe.net
2. A series of webinars will be arranged during the Virtual Fair to enable the HEIs to directly reach out to prospective students in India on higher education opportunities in the EU. Each participating HEI will get one or more speaking slots during the Virtual Fair.
3. A dedicated digital marketing campaign will be run from August – October to attract the attention of Indian students on social media channels to which participating HEIs and EUMS will be invited to cross-link and collaborate.
4. A partnership campaign will be run with select Indian universities/ HEIs in key cities across the country who will be approached to publicize EHEVF amongst their students and to host EHEVF 2018 webinar screenings in their premises. It is expected that EU HEIs will have access to large number of Indian students and academic community through this direct channel as well.
We invite you to participate in the EHEVF 2018 by expressing your institution's interest by responding to this email. There is no participation fee for EU HEIs - they should be officially registered/ recognized in one of the EU Member States. At this juncture we would need the following information from you:
Name of the HEI:
Website address of the HEI:
Contact Person name(s), designation, email and phone number:
Please fill in the details by clicking on below link
https://www.study-europe.net/virtualfair2018/form
More than 5000 Indian students participated in the Virtual Fair held in 2016 which comprised of two phases: In July, 45 webinar sessions were held over 4 days with participation of 26 EU HEIs, and in September 80 webinar sessions were held over 4 days with 8 country sessions, 12 thematic sessions and the rest were taken by 22 HEIs from the EU. In 2015, more than 3200 Indian students participated in the Virtual Fair webinars.
The Virtual Fair offers you an unmatched opportunity to reach out to and engage with potential students from India from the comfort of your home or office, free of cost.
We look forward to having your expression of interest as soon as possible, preferably within a week from the date of this letter.

The Montréal festival expands its line-up for 2015.
Mutek has announced the line-up for the A/Visions events at this year's Montreal festival, which focus on "the multisensorial intersections between technology and art".
Heading up the programme is ex-Battles member Tyondai Braxton presenting the Canadian premiere of his Hive show, which features five musicians playing on top of specially designed hexagonal pedestals wired for light and sound.
Also appearing is Montréal artist Martin Messier, who presents the world premiere of Field, a performance created in collaboration with Thomas Payette that "lays bare invisible and inaudible power flows" using a framework of luminous cables that face the audience. Messier will be modulating the field with his body while he mixes sound, light and shadow effects.
Dance and choreographer Hiroaki Umeda will also be present to perform Holistic Strata and Split Flow, two pieces that combine motion mapping, light design and synchronous soundtracking with dance, while Maotik & Metametric will perform their Omnis show. Inspired by the concept of ubiquity, Omnis is an A/V performance that sees the duo use a generative visual system and optical illusions.
The A/Visions programme takes place on the evening of May 29 and May 30, during the main Mutek festival which runs from May 27-31. The A/Visions programme join the already announced James Holden, Andy Stott, Sherwood & Pinch and more – full details and tickets can be found at the Mutek website.

Dabang Delhi K.C. to battle Bengaluru Bulls for a place in Vivo Pro Kabaddi Season 7 final
ISN Admin
After a thrilling victory over U.P. Yoddha in Eliminator 1, Bengaluru Bulls will take on the league's table-toppers Dabang Delhi K.C. in Semi-final 1 at the EKA Arena by TransStadia in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.
The first meeting between the two sides this season finished in a narrow 33-31 victory for Dabang Delhi K.C. while the second ended in a thrilling 39-39 tie, where Amit Sheoran's tackle on Naveen Kumar in the buzzer raid salvaged three points for Bengaluru Bulls.
Bengaluru Bulls
Season Record (W-L-T): 12-10-1
The reigning champions fought a mighty battle against a spirited U.P. Yoddha team andprevailed by a scoreline of 48-45 in Eliminator 1 to make it to the Semi-finals. The match had initially finished 36-36and neededextra-time to decide a winner. Two massive raids from Pawan Kumar Sehrawat in the first-ever extra-time in vivo Pro Kabaddi history ensured victory for Bengaluru Bulls, setting up a showdown against Dabang Delhi K.C.
Best Raider – Pawan Kumar Sehrawat
The 'Hi-Flyer' was on song for Bengaluru Bulls against U.P. Yoddha and eventually proved to be the difference between the two sides. The reigning MVP finished the match with 20 raid points, nine more than the next best raider, in what was another incredible performance from the league's leading raid point scorer.
When Sehrawat struggled to get going in the first half and the early parts of the second, it was raider Sumit Singh who kept the scoreboard ticking for Bengaluru Bulls and reviving the 'Hi-Flyer'. Sumit scored seven raid points and was tackled just twice. His performance shouldgive a sense of security to Sehrawat going forward, who will be able to raid knowing that the youngster can pick up points and revive him if need be.
Best Defender – Mahender Singh
Bengaluru Bulls' defence had a rather quiet outing, as they scored just nine tackle points against U.P. Yoddha. Stand-out Cover Mahender Singh was yet again the pick of the bunch, finishing with four tackle points.
Bengaluru Bulls' defence was the fourth-lowest scoring defensive unit during the league stage and, in the Eliminator, their total of nine tackle points was fewer than what U.P. Yoddha's Corner duo Nitesh Kumar and Sumit managed on their own. With Dabang Delhi K.C. boasting of a three-pronged raiding attack, Bengaluru Bulls' defensive unit will need to step up and perform better against Naveen Kumar and co.
Dabang Delhi K.C.
Season record (W-L-T): 15-4-3
Best Raider – Naveen Kumar
With 19 consecutive Super 10s and, a league record, 20 in total this season, Naveen Kumar has had a campaign to remember. The youngster has broken numerous records in his 21 appearances so far this season and has led Dabang Delhi K.C. to their maiden Semi-final appearance in vivo Pro Kabaddi.
While Naveen has undoubtedly been Dabang Delhi K.C.'s lead raider, his teammates Chandran Ranjit and Vijay have also been quite impactful in attack, scoring 110 and 43 raid points respectively. Their attack also boasts of the experienced Meraj Sheykh, who has come in handy over the course of the season. With a raiding unit as stacked as theirs, it comes as no surprise that Dabang Delhi K.C. lead the league with an average of 21.91 raid points per game.
Best Defender – Ravinder Pahal
Veteran Ravinder Pahal has enjoyed another outstanding campaign for Dabang Delhi K.C., finishing the league campaign as the team's leading tackle point scorer with 59 in 21 appearances. The Right Corner has been well-supported by his partner on the opposite flank, team captain Joginder Singh Narwal, who has 46 tackle points this season.
Sturdy Cover defenders Vishal Mane and Amit Kumar have also been reliable, scoring 26 and 33 tackle points respectively. Dabang Delhi K.C.'s decision to retain their experienced defensive trio of Pahal, Joginder and Mane coupled with the addition of Amit Kumar has worked out just as well as they would have hoped. The defence has looked formidable throughout the season and they would be aiming to continue that run through the playoffs as well.


Colton Cruz...how is my boy 2 years old already???
*water soothes him...baths or even "doing dishes"
This little princess is 6 months old and is pure perfection!! I truly have never known a happier baby. Her smiles and giggles are infectious and have this ability to warm the soul! She is a total momma's girl and I LOVE it!!!! She is sitting, eating food, refusing bottles, rolling all over the place. Colette loves sucking on her first and middle finer, also loves tags, pulling hair, and is extremely ticklish! Her thighs are deliciously full of rolls and she has stolen the hearts of us all!

Anyway, I've been checking out library books and reading and knitting a bunch of stuff.
I'm down to the smocking section on the Anni sweater. I don't think I'll be able to read while knitting this section, but reading definitely got me through the last couple of inches of the top part, and it'll be great for the sleeves, too. I have several more inches to go, but it's so gratifying to see this progress.
I've finished my sockhead hat. The top part of it is 9 inches of plain stockinette. A perfect reading project.
Me in my slouchy, blue sockhead hat!
I finished two blocks for the Knitterati afghan, blocks 10 and 11.
And here's a look at all my blocks together so far.
Block 10 was fun and a new experience. I've done color work before, but it's always been in the round. I've never done colorwork flat and I had a really hard time wrapping my head around trying to purl in color work and catch the floats every other stitch. I ended up teaching myself to knit backwards (also known as mirror knitting) so that I didn't have to purl anything. Yes, I do realize that I taught myself a new skill while trying to avoid learning a new skill, but I am happy with the result!
Block 11 was very quick. I think it took me a little more than a day to complete. That's a good thing, because I think I'm going to have to reknit it. I used needles that were bigger than what the pattern called for, in order to keep a consistent gauge, but the block is bigger than all the others. The block right above it is smaller than the others, so both may have to be redone.
Block 13 is another colorwork block. I'm trying to decide which colors to use in mine.
Since I've taken so long to publish this post, Block 14 is out as well.
I've also been working on a CrochetAlong of a doily pattern from Grace Fearon. This doily is named Evelyn and it's fun! There are lots of new-to-me techniques in this one, and at first they seem a little daunting. (Such as FP-4TC tog and FP-DTR.) But, like with most things, once you learn how it's done, it really isn't that difficult, just different. I love all the texture in this one! My finished doily is 16 inches from point to point.
Of course there are lots of other things on the needles, as well. There's a little baby blanket in the works. Jellybean's morning teacher at daycare is due with a babe in September. His afternoon teacher just had a baby, too. I'm excited for them both. There's a sweater for a family friend. I'll share that with you when I get to a point where it looks like something. I went ahead and started another doily. This one is Francisco, another of Grace Fearon's patterns.
Finally, I don't know if you remember the Evenstar shawl that I started WAY back in August. I've been working on that a little bit lately. I've made good progress, but it's run into a… well, we'll just call it a snag and that shawl is sitting in time out. That story is for another blog post, though!
Have a great week and keep knitting on!
Hello, blog. I miss you and I do love you, I've just been very busy the last few weeks and, well, you've fallen to the wayside.
I'm back to my routine, now, so I'll be back next week with an update for you, ok?


IT pros have a decision to make when delivering and managing Windows 10. They can use a DaaS provider, manage the desktops with cloud-based tools or keep everything on premises.
There are a few different ways IT can manage and deploy Windows 10 desktops, but the best approach is up for debate.
To get a clear picture of the future of Windows 10 desktops, three experts squared off last month in a debate-style webinar titled "Three Experts Duke it out for the Best Way to Deploy Windows" from the Citrix User Group Community.
Theresa Miller, founder of 24x7 IT Connection, backed deploying Windows 10 desktops using the desktop as a service (DaaS) model. Aaron Parker, a solutions architect at Insentra, an IT services company in Australia, championed cloud-based management for on-premises Windows 10 desktops. Steve Greenberg, president and principal architect at Thin Client Computing, explained why some IT pros would choose to manage on-premises Windows 10 desktops with traditional management tools.
IT pros can deliver virtualized Windows 10 desktops using VDI, but this approach still requires them to manage all the back-end infrastructure and take the lead on security.
Many people see the cloud as the future, so it's not surprising that turning to DaaS for Windows 10 desktops is something organizations might consider. There are more DaaS options now than ever, including Microsoft's own offering, Windows Virtual Desktop.
With DaaS, users can access Windows 10 desktops anywhere, from any device. The way they access their desktops in the office is the same as if they were at home. If a disaster occurs, the desktops are housed safely in the provider's data center rather than on premises, so users can still get work done.
"It doesn't matter which device I have, I can always get at my desktop," Miller said in the webinar. "[In case of a] hurricane or fire, if your workstations are in the cloud, there's business continuity. You're empowering the user to do their job no matter what's going on in the world around them."
DaaS also delivers benefits by taking back-end infrastructure management and security off of in-house IT professionals' plates. They can instead focus on more value-driving tasks.
"There may be some learning curve, but it does eliminate some of that stuff that keeps us working nights and weekends," Miller said.
Even if an organization isn't ready to deploy Windows 10 desktops with a DaaS provider, IT can still use cloud-based tools such as Microsoft Intune or Citrix Cloud to manage Windows 10 desktops.
Public cloud architecture is a deep and customized platform.
The main benefit of cloud-based management tools is that they allow IT to provision users' devices over the air, Parker said. All IT has to do is send the device from the OEM to the user, who can take it out of the box and enroll it.
"The user can just boot the PC and they've got their email address or their user name on the device; they just have to enter a password," Parker said.
IT pros can also deliver apps more simply by making them available for users to download from an app store such as the Microsoft Store for Business. In addition, once users' desktops are up and running, IT can deliver updates to them through a cloud-based management platform without handling the actual device. And IT can do all of this regardless of where the devices are; they do not need to be connected to the company network.
This approach allows IT to shift its focus from devices to users. Instead of worrying about whether every device a user works with is compliant, which can be a headache and limit device choice, IT can simply make sure the person using the device is truly who he says he is.
The cloud may sound like it's all sunshine and rainbows, but the reality is, moving Windows 10 desktops or management to the cloud is not the simple lift-and-shift operation many vendors claim it is. In reality, public cloud architecture is a deep and customized platform, and each provider's offering is different, Greenberg said.
"It's like being given a blank data center," he said. "You have to configure networks and security, all the connections ... have to be considered and in place before you deploy."
Cloud cost savings are not always what an organization expects, either.
If IT chooses to deploy Windows 10 on premises, the data, apps and users are all in one spot, which leads to optimal performance. In addition, many organizations have line-of-business (LOB) apps with customized code and databases. These apps have been in place so long that sometimes nobody in the organization currently knows exactly how they work. If IT separates older LOB apps from the data, it could cause problems.
Keeping Windows 10 desktops and management on premises also means IT retains control over the deployment.
"You can check your network, you can debug it, you can add CPUs at will, you can buy new servers when and how you need to," Greenberg said.
What do you think is the future of delivering Windows 10 to users?

News – The Association of Pediatric Hematology Oncology Educational Specialists (APHOES) has endorsed the Standards for Psychosocial Care for Children with Cancer and Their Families published in the 2015 December special issue of Pediatric Blood & Cancer. The 15 Standards of Care developed by pediatric oncology psychosocial professionals provide critical justification for comprehensive psychosocial care, including dedicated educational support for pediatric patient populations. The evidence-based standards align with the APHOES mission to standardize methods, provide support, and encourage research for the purpose of improving educational outcomes for children with cancer. Broadly, the Standards of Care establish a valuable framework for providing psychosocial support along the continuum of care beginning with diagnosis through survivorship or end of life.
Mary Kay Irwin, EdD, Chair of APHOES and Megan Elam, EdD, Chair of the APHOES Legislative Committee represented the educational expertise in this important project. Irwin and Elam were both invited authors and collaborated with other multidisciplinary psychosocial experts in the development of the Academic Continuity and School Reentry Support Standard of Care.
APHOES commends the work and commitment of the Mattie Miracle Cancer Foundation as the driving force behind the conceptualization and development of the Standards or Care. In collaboration with the team of pediatric oncology psychosocial experts, Mattie Miracle intends to encourage the rapid adoption of the Standards in clinical sites across the country. APHOES is proud to officially endorse the Standards for Psychosocial Care for Children with Cancer and Their Families.

Q: In Windows 7, if I play a full screen game, then all apps become "full screen" as well In Windows 7, when I play a full screen game, then quit the game, all windows, such as those belonging to Firefox or Windows Explorer, become full screen as well. This means that they will expand to the full screen, as if the taskbar did not exist.
Anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT (2011/12/01 @2PM EST): Some responses to the comments for this post:

*

*When an app is in full screen made, the taskbar is still visible, so hitting the Windows key does indeed still bring up the Start Menu.

*These "full screen" windows are really resized to the full screen sized; they are not merely maximized. The taskbar covers the bottom part of the window, so for Firefox for instance, the status bar is covered by the taskbar at the bottom.

*The games I am playing are running as the same resolution as the screen (1920x1080). The games are also in that resolution, which is the native one.

*This happens for all full screen games, ranging from Frozen Synapse to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and everything in between.

I should also note that I have two LCD monitors side-by-side. The main window is on the right, which has the taskbar. This full screen problem doesn't exist on the left monitor since that monitor doesn't even have a taskbar, so windows are always full screen on that monitor. I now realize that having a second monitor might be related, or perhaps even the cause.
I'm also running Windows 7 in Boot Camp on a Mac, although I don't know if that's causing any problems. This also only started happening fairly recently, I think since the release of the latest OS X version, Mac OS X Lion, which was released in July 20, 2011. A new version of Boot Camp was released along with that, which just appears to drop support for old Windows OSes, but perhaps it installed new Mac drivers that are causing problems?

A fortnight ago I accepted, a prize from the most ancient encierros, 'bull-runs', in all of Spain, those of the town of Cuéllar in Old Castille.
Earlier that same day I nearly died while running with those bulls. The bull in the photo-detail below was suelto – 'loose', alone – and had come to halt facing away from me. So I seized what I thought was a chance and tried to pass it in the narrow street.
At the exact same moment another runner tried the same thing, coming from the opposite direction. When we collided, both of us with eyes only for the bull, he was bounced clear to safety while I lost my footing on the slippery street at the very instant the bull caught sight of our movement in its peripheral vision and charged across the street. It ground to a halt on its hooves as I struggled to get upright, my back against the fence that protects the spectators on the pavement.
In this moment – which lasted as infinitely long as all the novelists, journalists and diarists of near-death say it does – I stood so still as to render myself invisible to the bull whose horn points were paused either side of my chest.
Literally either side that is, not metaphorically, or almost either side, or either side in the exaggerated sense an angler might say his catch was as large as a whale. I was within the goring arc of those horns, mounted with adamantine surety in their bone bracket on that dense bovine skull, the great extendable neck behind them, the vast goring muscles of the shoulders behind that – the morillo, the defining feature of the breed.
My back was fixed and framed by that steel fence, held in place for the horns to go in either side in the classic double punch of the toro bravo, and the hospital was an inevitably fatal 45 minutes away in Valladolid. There was no 'move' I could make: no tricks or quips in my taurine armoury to fall back on. Quite the reverse in fact, any movement would have invoked that death-strike: to even attempt to reach up and grab the horns for safety would have the end.
I looked into his black eyes and he, unseeing, looked out from behind them. Then he moved, and I moved, and he tried to catch me, but it was too late, Thank God.
As I walked away, not one, but three local runners of great experience said to me the same thing: "get out", "leave", "your luck is done today."
After I accepted the award, a sculpture by Dyango Velasco of a bull's head earily similar to the the one that had faced me an hour earlier, and sleepwalked through my interview for Castile y León TV, I took a siesta and had the disconcerting sensation when I woke up that I was actually dead, that I had been killed and that everything that had happened, and was happening, subsequent to that instant of horror was a fiction, a dying moment dream. It was the strangest feeling I have ever been in the grip of and took the rest of the day to shake off. (The sense of it even made it into the light-hearted interview for the newspaper ABC de Madrid I did over dinner that evening.)
I would say that the experience changed me, but nothing really does that. So, my frivolity has returned and I can smile to find myself invited back my old school, Eton College in Berkshire, to talk the Hispanic Society about "The World Of The Spanish Bullfight (the subtitle of my William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2011 shortlisted Into The Arena, most recently described by my former 'bullfighting pupil', Evgeny Lebedev in his newspaper The Independent as "the definitive guide on the state of modern-day bullfighting.") The poster advertising my talk around the school is simply hilarious.
Having come from a school which produced 37 winners of the highest decoration for gallantry, the Victoria Cross (three of them distant relations of mine), I think the epithet "most badass OE ever" might be overdoing more than a little. Indeed, having just been filming interviews and narration segments for 'Ultimate Survivors' which will be aired next year on the Discovery Channel and hosted by another ex-army OE, Bear Grylls, I can think of plenty of other candidates. The only superlative that truthfully applies to me in relation to that school is that I was sent to headmaster more times than anyone in its almost six century history – 68 times – and they still didn't manage to expel me. I must admit to being quite proud of that.
As I sit down to write my speech I'll leave you with English version of my thank you letter to Cuéllar, published last week in the regional newspaper, El Norte de Castilla. (The original Spanish is here.) This is the second time I've thanked that town in their press – the first time is in Spanish here.
(Post-Script: since I decided in the end to do the entire talk off the cuff, I cannot reprint what I said here. All I can say is that it went down very well. I was also amused to see it commented on – and this blog quoted – in the Daily Mail the following day.)
(P.P.S. It has been suggested to me that I am committing some sort of heresy by allowing the word 'matador' to be associated with my name. The quick answer to that is that I am not. As I commented only last week about wearing the matador's 'suit of lights' to the Daily Telegraph, "I don't have the right to wear one and I am a torero, a bullfighter, and an espada, which means that I have killed with un espada, or a sword, but I am not a matador de toros, which is a professional qualification." However, to preface every puff-piece I cite, quote or link to with scholarly caveats is to take them, and myself, far too seriously – a joke is a joke, and someone who hedges it with footnotes will fail even to raise a wry smile. And as for the claim of blasphemy: I point to the message I received about the article scanned above from not only a great matador de toros, but scion of an entire dynasty of them who knows all to well the price paid to earn that title, Cayetano Rivera Ordóñez.)
I should also add that, having missed the Feria Goyesca de Pedro Romero de Ronda this year, I've decided to head with family and friends to Seville for the Feria de San Miguel once again this year. It is the final weekend in September, and the bullfighting cartels are excellent, particularly with El Juli and Morante de la Puebla both performing on the Sunday with the bulls of Juan Pedro Domecq.
If anyone else wants to come, there are still some of the beautiful apartments available from Joaquín de Haro y de Fernandez de Córdoba at his elegant building, No. 11, calle Almansa in El Arenal. It is 150 yards from the plaza de toros in one direction and about 300 yards from the supermarket of the Corte Inglés in the other. At €90 a night, it is astonishingly good value for the only apartments recommended by the Wallpaper* magazine City Guide book to Seville, and in feria too. His staff will even arrange your bullfight tickets at cost price directly from the bullring itself. (His website is here. A good ticket for anyone to request is tendido sombra, at €89.)
And once again, thank you Cuéllar, from London
"If this could have been enough of a book it would have had everything in it." This is how Ernest Hemingway, my maestro and mentor influence in the mundo taurino – 'taurine world' – began his final chapter in his often masterful introduction to los toros, Death In The Afternoon. In it, he goes onto to describe – in phrases as short in temporal duration but long in emotional after-effect as a trincherazo of Morante – the things he had seen in Spain during the 1920s.
It was the things which I saw in Cuéllar that made me write a 'thank-you letter' to the town from London last year, which was printed in this newspaper ('Gracias, Cuéllar, desde Londres') It was written as though from a guest to a house to which he had been invited, which is what it felt like, even though I had been sent there by the Financial Times ('The real, old stuff'). This year, writing again, I only wish this could be enough of a letter. But I know it will not.
Last year I arrived in Cuéllar and met Dyango Velasco, proud citizen and great sculptor of that town, who literally gave us the keys to the city. This year I came back with a dozen friends and every door was opened to us again – this time even wider. The staff at the hotel we stayed at, once again, but this time filled to overflowing. We jostled for space with toreros and forcadores at Ruben Salamanca's Mesón San Francisco, and it still serves the best suckling lamb in town. It was our refuge, and the tree-shaded pale stone benches of its gardens were our haven.
And once again old Luis Quevedo and his beautiful wife Soco and their son Alberto looked after us with solomillo and toro bravo, while the local wine, Ribera del Duero, flowed a rich chill into us as we stood in the cool stone rooms of La Carchena where we ended every day and talked late into the night in Cuéllar's medieval Castilian heart.
And once again José María Yuste and his wife Aurora and their charming friends gave us lunch in their house where the famous exiled poet José de Espronceda lived and wrote.
And once again my taurine Godfather in Cuéllar, Dr Larry Belcher, the only man who ever moved from riding the rodeo bulls in Texas to being a professor at a university in Spain – your neighbour Valladolid – brought wisdom to the streets as did his lovely wife Dr Ana Cerón from the hospital of that city also.
However, this is not just a letter of repeat. I must thank the Godfather of all us foreign runners, Joe Distler, who watched over us from the comfort of the back row of the andanada sol in Almería, where only a toro as wise as he would know there is a querencia – a lair – of both shade and cool breezes, a wisdom born of almost half a century running every single encierro of San Fermín.
And this time the veteran EPA photographer Jim Hollander came to Cuéllar for the first time after more than fifty years of Pamplona, as well as the torn places and war zones of the world. In your forest, he stood among the pine trees as the bulls thundered past, involuntarily returning to the encierros he gave up running long ago, having begun before even Joe. (He publishing the fruits of those moments in The Wall Street Journal – and Los Angeles Times.)
Also we had Anthony Fane, Earl of Westmorland, who as a young man was chauffeur for the great Ordóñez who christened him Antonio II, and whose profound love of bulls, horses and the wild places of the world were combined into a fierce joy at seeing the hundreds of horsemen who draw into their command the bulls when they explode from the corrals in the woods in a moment of dust, madness and glory which defines your encierro.
Me & 'Burghie' Westmorland at the plaza de toros (Photo courtesy of Hostal Mesón San Francisco)
No longer on his horse, we had the light-footed jockey, Richard Dunwoody, champion of all of the most important horse races my country has, even the legendary Grand National so often competed in by your own former Duke of Alberquerque, with the difference that Richard won. Twice. In your race he ran with neither fear nor dishonour and ended smiling. And I must not forget 'The Scottish Rocket' Angus Ritchie in his yellow 'Partick Thistle' football shirt.
More important than the host of foreigners are the people of Cuellár, from your pastores, like Enrique Tantano whose sideburns remind me of my old friend Juan José Padilla, and who rules the sueltos with a deft hand, to those maestros of running with bulls, like the local Josechu Lopéz, or those from further away like Jokin Zuasti. Running with the bulls, especially in Cuéllar, is not just about personal glory when "on the horns", but also about brotherhood and sacrifice, respect and risking your life for others when it is required.
However, when my own ignorance led me into my own confrontation with Death, the horns of a bull of El Canario either side of my chest, my back on the fence, and the hospital far, far away, it was the bull himself who spared me. So I thank the bulls themselves as well, without whom there would be nothing. And the Virgin of the Rosary whose feria it is and who held the bull's left horn as Saint Fermín, who was embroidered on my pañuelo – neckerchief -, held back his right. (I had given my Cuéllar pañuelo to Nicolás Osorio – eldest son of the present Duke of Alburquereque whose famous magnificent castle dominates your town.)

I must also thank your mayor for his generosity and helpfulness, Jesús García Pastor – a good surname for such a man – and the finally the actual masters of the Fiesta, who give it bravura, the matadors. The austere and elegant El Cid whose awe-inspiring templar cut two ears from an impossible encaste Núñez. He began my aficion in Seville in 2007 and not for nothing did he start his career with those Victorinos before moving to smoother taurine canvases on which he could paint with more art. Meanwhile Javier Herrero displayed the courage and honour and generosity of the town with three ears and a Puerta Grande in the place of his birth.

In the end, though, it is the intangible things that move you most in memory, a mood, a colour of light in the morning as the sweat cools after the run and the heart slows among dear friends joking with a shaking hand gripping a cool beer, while passers by shout out "chaqueta" at my blazer. Or the sight of the young novilleros unable to answer 'suerte' with 'gracias', their mouths are so dry as you share the lift down to the lobby, something I remember from my time dancing with and then dealing death to a three year old Saltillo. Or the little dog with his own pañuelo, and all the peñas with theirs handed to us along with drinks. This is what will bring people to Cuéllar, will change them, and bring them back with more.
Hemingway, with whom I began my aficion as I did this article, brought too many people to Pamplona, and many are the wrong ones. So it is ironic that I was pulled by his grandson John from a small pile-up of them in calle Estafeta on July 10th this year. I can only hope that we will bring to Cuéllar the right ones. And even if we don't, we tried.
Thank you Cuéllar.
