Information and Serious Leisure
From Jenna: My presentation for World Information Architecture Day at Ann Arbor is best captured in the form of the diagram, [featured on Jenna's website here: http://www.jennahartel.info/news.html as well as on @WIAD_AnnArbor's twitter & Facebook page]; it displays information architecture, happiness, and leisure in an interlocking framework. To start, I will celebrate the special work that information architects perform to envision and oversee the informational structures and patterns that reside underneath the surface of everyday life. Then, I will turn attention to one notably happy and cherished life experience – leisure! – and reveal the structures and patterns that exist therein, too. Finally, I will guide the audience to bridge and fuse these neighboring domains (information and leisure) in order to more mindfully design and manage products and services that generate happiness in leisure settings and beyond.

DUMB | Five Patterns from the Work of Richard Saul Wurman
Inspired by IA pioneer Richard Saul Wurman's call to practice information architecture as "an understanding business," Dan Klyn co-founded The Understanding Group with Bob Royce in 2011 and is on a mission to co-opt architectural thinking from the built environment and interpret it for use in the design of places made of information.
In addition to his duties as structural design practice lead at TUG, Klyn works as an editorial assistant to Mr. Wurman, teaches the IA course at the University of Michigan School of Information and has served as a board member of the Information Architecture Institute.

Architecting Lasting Happiness*
Kat King (http://katalogofchaos.com) is a graduate of The University of Michigan School of Information, where she first encountered Information Architecture by accident. Since then she has become obsessed with understanding how we attempt to control the arguments our information makes, and how these arguments control us. She is interested in language, meaning, and the ways we try to structure the chaos of existence. She lives in Ypsilanti, MI where she manages her own existential terror by reading, taking snapchats of her cats, and going to The Wurst Bar.

One of the challenges with creating a high-impact security awareness program is how do you reward good behavior? Obviously enforcement is important to any awareness program, but at some point we need to combine that with positive reinforcement. However this is not as simple as it seems, it turns out rewarding good behavior can have bad results. For example, lets say you want to promote the reporting of incidents. You educate your employees the indicators of compromise and how to report them to your security team. To promote this, you decide you will give a free lunch to anyone who detects an infected computer. While at first this sounds good, in two weeks you will most likely have every employee surfing dodgy websites and downloading free screensavers in the hopes of getting infected. Your reward changed behaviors, just not the ones you wanted. Another challenge is cost. Lets say one of your employees gets hit with a social engineering phone call and your employee does the right thing. They identify the attack for what it is and report the attacker to your security team. To reinforce this behavior you immediately reward the employee a $50 gift certificate. The problem is you have now set precedence. Anytime an employee spots a real attack they will expect to get paid a reward. You can quickly bankrupt your awareness budget. The trick to rewarding is making sure you motivate the right behaviors while keeping your budget in check. Here are some tricks.
Rewarding behavior does not require material goods, public recognition can go a long way. I know of several organizations that post an example of an employee doing the right thing with their monthly security awareness newsletters.
If you do want to hand out a reward, keep it small. One organization I know does nightly desktop checks at the office, making sure computer are locked and sensitive materials are securely stored. When they find violators they take note. However for those who are doing the right thing they leave a jelly bean at the table. The next morning employees come in and find their reward. Little gifts like this can really have an impact.
If you really want to pump up the volume, I really like how Cindy Daily and her team at Geisinger Health Systems reward people, its a combination of both methods we just discussed. Here is their process, in her own words. "If people are practicing good security habits we leave a slip for them to be entered into a drawing. If they are not we leave a pamphlet letting them know what they can do better to be secure or policy compliant. We post the winners on the Intranet as well as articles of our findings of what we as an organization can do better. Rewarding is tricky. Our first reaction is to reward people as much as possible, but be sure to think things through. You want to be sure you are promoting the right behaviors and you are not setting costly precedents.

It has an easy fit and is as comfortable to wear as your favorite T-shirt, but it brings a touch of elegance to every day with its shoulder yokes and pleats and its feminine shaping. Leave the sleeves uncuffed (View A) or stitch the cuffs in place to secure them (View B). The pattern comes with separate pieces for A/B, C, and D cup sizes to help you make a great fitting shirt.
Recommended fabrics: designed for lightweight cotton knit fabric with moderate stretch. This tee can also be sewn from drapey woven fabrics, but you may need to go up a size or two for a good fit.

Richelle Mead (author of the Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series) recently posted a new blog post on her blog... which revealed the title of the fourth book in the Bloodlines series!!
I absolutely love the Bloodlines books. So you have no idea how excited I was by this small amount of news. To others, it's small. But if you're someone like me, who gets hyper very easily, over the smallest of stuff - it's pretty huge.
Bloodlines #4 is called The Fiery Heart.
The Fiery Heart is going to be told from both Sydney and Adrian's points of view. That's right. If you've ever wanted to get inside the crazy world of Adrian Ivashkov's head, this is it. It'll still be in first person, but the POV will alternate chapters. I'm so excited about this, it's not even funny. Well, actually...since it's Adrian, it'll be hilarious. I think you guys'll love it, and for those who still haven't made the transition to the Bloodlines series, now's your chance! #1 and #2 are out, and it's not too late to catch up before February.
I don't normally like it when authors have their book in two perspectives - but this is Adrian. Why wouldn't I love it? The Fiery Heart! I can't wait. Seriously - and I haven't even read The Indigo Spell yet.
So, what do you think? I'd love to hear your opinion, so feel free to leave a comment.


There are 22 civil districts in the diocese in an area of 222,236 square kilometers.
The Diocese of Jammu-Srinagar comprises the entire Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir. Jammu & Kashmir (J & K) state is known as the "crown of India" since it lies in the extreme north of the country. It is surrounded by the international boundaries of Pakistan, Afghanistan and China from west to east. The Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab are on its south.
Much drama surrounds Jammu & Kashmir's accession to Indian Union. Wars had been fought between India and Pakistan, India and China claiming for the territory of Kashmir. Pakistan has occupied 78,114 square kilometers of its territory. In 1959 Chinese troops occupied the Aksai Chin part of Ladakh. J & K has a special status within the Union government. It has its own constitution (adopted in 1956) that affirms its integrity within the Republic of India.
People speak Urdu, Dogri, Punjabi, Hindi and English.
Missionary endeavors began since 1868 in the areas of Kafiristan (now in Pakistan) and Kashmir. As a result, the Prefecture Apostolic of Kafiristan and Kashmir was erected on July 06, 1887, bifurcating from the diocese of Lahore, now in Pakistan, entrusting the region to the Mill Hill Missionaries (MHM).
After the national independence and bifurcation of Pakistan, the ecclesiastical territory was reorganized as Prefecture Apostolic of Kashmir and Jammu on Jan. 17, 1952. The ecclesiastical territory was renamed as the Prefecture Apostolic of Jammu and Kashmir on May 14, 1968. It comprised the districts of Kashmir and Ladakh, which were part of Rawalpindi diocese (now in Pakistan) and the districts of Jammu and Poonch, which belonged to Lahore diocese (now in Pakistan).
After the Mill Hill Missionaries left the Prefecture, it was entrusted to the Indian Capuchins of St. Joseph's province, Kerala, in 1978. Capuchin Msgr. Hippolytus Kunnunkal was appointed its first Indian Prefect Apostolic on Dec. 28, 1978. It was raised to a diocese on Sept. 7, 1986 and Msgr. Kunnunkal was ordained bishop of Jammu-Srinagar in the newly consecrated St. Mary's cathedral, Jammu. The diocesan curia, which functioned in Srinagar since 1952, was shifted to Jammu in Dec. 1986. The newly-built bishop's house in Jammu was blessed on Nov. 25, 1989. After the retirement of Bishop Kunnunkal, Capuchin Msgr. Peter Celestine was ordained its second bishop on Sept. 6, 1998.
Patroness of the diocese: Nativity (birth) of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Feast day: Sept. 8.
The state attracts a number of Indian and foreign tourists. Vaishno Devi shrine, Mansar Lake, Bahu Fort are some tourist centers in Jammu region. Dal Lake, Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonamarg, Amarnath are in Kashmir. And in Ladakh are the famous Buddhist monasteries, Jama Masjid, and Leh Palace.
The climate varies from tropical in the plains of Jammu to semi-arctic cold in Ladakh. Annual rainfall varies from 92.6 mm in Leh to 650.5 mm in Srinagar and 1115.9 mm in Jammu.
Wildlife in the state include leopard, Kashmir stag, bear, snakes, peacock.
Handicrafts production and export, mainly wood carvings, carpets, shawls, copper and silverware have been the traditional industries of the state.
Nearly 80 percent of the people depend on agriculture. Major crops include paddy, wheat, maize, pulses, cotton and barley. Large orchards in Kashmir produce apples, pears, peaches, walnuts, cherries, almonds, cherries, apricots strawberries and saffron.
It is the sixth largest state in India, including the area occupied by Pakistan and China. The mountainous state is blessed with lofty snow clad peaks, deep gorges, glaciers, lush green meadows and verdant valleys full of Chinar trees, beautiful silvery lakes, charming flora and fauna, making it a "Paradise on Earth." It has a very rich history and a distinct culture. It has some of the most sacred temples, mosques, monasteries and caves. Major rivers are: Indus, Chenab, Jhelum and Ravi.
Literacy rate is 54.46 percent. The diocese gives importance to education by running many English medium schools. Most of the Church personnel are from southern states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and tribals from the Chhota Nagpur region. The diocese focuses also on faith-formation of the Catholics, mostly migrants.
Sufiana Music is a rich tradition in Kashmir. Jabro and Alley Yate are popular dance forms in the Ladakh region. Ritual dance of Kud is performed in honour of local deities in the Jammu region.
Principal festivals of Jammu region are: Lohri, Baisakhi, and Bahu Mela. Id-ul-Zuha and Miraj Alam are celebrated in the Kashmir region and Mela Losar and Hemis festivals in the Ladakh region.

Amy Pruden, professor of civil and environmental engineering and associate dean and director of interdisciplinary graduate education in the Graduate School at Virginia Tech, is the 2014 recipient of the Paul L. Busch Award which includes a $100,000 research grant.
A well-recognized researcher in her field, Pruden is instrumental in developing a new way of thinking about controlling aquatic pathogens and expanding the use of recycled water. She has an international reputation in applied microbial ecology, environmental remediation, and environmental reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance.
Her accomplishments in these areas led to the 2014 Busch Award from the Water Environment Research Foundation's Endowment for Innovation in Applied Water Quality Research. The foundation cited her outstanding efforts that have contributed significantly to water quality research and its practical application in the environment. The grant with the award is given to support work that will bring new benefits to the water quality community and the water-using public they serve.
"The global future of water security will be focused on reuse. The issue of antibiotic resistance will not just go away. Science is needed and solutions will be forthcoming because of Dr. Pruden's work," said Joan B. Rose, Homer Nowlin Chair in Water Research at Michigan State University and a member of the selection committee.
"Expanding the use of recycled water such as treated wastewater is key to achieving water sustainability," Pruden said. However, public health concerns about the reuse of water must be addressed first.
"Wastewater is of special concern because it receives domestic, hospital, and other waste that can contain antibiotics, antibiotic resistant bacteria, and antibiotic resistance genes that can persist or even multiply through treatment and recycling of water," Pruden said. "Antibiotic resistance is a critical and worsening global health threat."
"We have new tools -- the next generation DNA sequencing tools, which have just come online in the last five or so years," Pruden said. "They are providing unprecedented information about microbes in all sorts of environments, including 'clean' drinking water. These tools have really surprised us by showing us the numbers and diversity of microbes. There can be thousands of different species of bacteria in a household water supply."
Pruden was already among a team of Virginia Tech researchers investigating the challenges presented by four often deadly pathogens that have been documented in household or hospital tap water. They proposed fighting or displacing these opportunistic pathogens with harmless microbes -- a probiotic approach for cleaning up plumbing.
Their findings were the subject of a journal article focusing on four opportunistic pathogens that are emerging as a public health concern.
Legionella is the infamous cause of deadly Legionnaires Disease and milder Pontiac Fever. Mycobacterium avium complex causes a pulmonary disease that is the most expensive waterborne disease in terms of individual hospital visits. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the leading cause of hospital-acquired infections. Pathogenic free-living amoebae are a group of microorganisms that enhance the growth of bacterial pathogens in water by hosting the pathogen, particularly Legionella and M. avium, protecting them and providing a place for them to multiply.
This research was published in the Aug. 20, 2013 online issue of the American Chemical Society journal, Environmental Science and Technology.
Virginia Tech's Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science is sponsoring this work.
In terms of her work with resistance genes, Pruden is among the first researchers who have identified antibiotic resistance developing through environmental sources.
For example, when an antibiotic is consumed, researchers have learned that up to 90 percent of the substance passes through the body without metabolizing. This means that the drug can leave the body almost intact through normal bodily functions.
So, in the case of agricultural areas, excreted antibiotics can then enter the stream and river environments through a variety of ways, including discharges from animal feeding operations, fish hatcheries, and nonpoint sources such as the flow from fields where manure or biosolids have been applied. Water filtered through wastewater treatment plants may also contain used antibiotics.
Consequently, these discharges become "potential sources of antibiotic resistance genes," said Pruden, a 2007 Presidential Early Career Award in Science and Engineering and a 2006 National Science Foundation CAREER Award recipient.

King of Kings has a number of characters, and some might be surprised to find Lady Eadgifu amongst them, but she was an incredibly important historical character, and I couldn't leave her out of the narrative set at the English court.
Lady Eadgifu was the third wife of Edward the Elder (r.899-924), king of the Anglo-Saxons. Edward the Elder was the father of King Athelstan, and a whole host of daughters, as well as five sons. Lady Eadgifu would, it seems, have been young when she married the aging Edward the Elder, and that meant that she long outlived him, and also, that her three children (possibly four, but I've opted for three) were young when their father died. And two of these children were sons, Edmund (born c.921) and Eadred (born c.923). Her daughter, Eadburh, is thought to have been the oldest of the three children, born c.919.
While Lady Eadgifu, from what's known (and it isn't much, as there are few surviving charters from the end of Edward's reign) perhaps had little role to play while her husband lived, other than wife and mother to the king's children, following his death, she became increasingly significant. She was the daughter of an ealdorman, who perhaps died just before her birth, and her family are said to have had connections with Kent. Indeed, it's often stated that she brought her husband Kent with their union. By that, what's often meant, is the loyalty of the Kentish people. Remember, at this time, we're still just before the creation of 'England' as we would now recognise it.
Sadly, very little is known about Lady Eadgifu (and she's not alone in this – many of the royal women 'disappear' at points in the historical record, and on occasion, are entirely lost.) We know about a land dispute she was involved in, and also much more information for after Athelstan's reign.
Indeed, it has been said that
'Nor is it surprising that Eadgifu, as the consort of the previous king, served little role in her stepson's court.[i]
[i] Firth, M. and Schilling, C. 'The Lonely Afterlives of Early English Queens', in Nephilologus September 2022, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11061-022-09739-4, p.7
However, Barbara Yorke believes that,
'the enhanced position [of Lady Eadgifu] may also have been developed specifically for the widowed Eadgifu as part of an alliance with her stepson Æthelstan [Athelstan] in which she supported his position and he recognised her sons as his heirs.'[i]
[i] Yorke, B. 'The Women in Edgar's Life,' in Edgar, King of the English, 959-975 Scragg, D. ed (The Boydell Press, 2008), p.146
And it is this option that I've decided to explore in King of Kings. Lady Eadgifu was wife to a king. She would have known her worth, even when faced with a stepson as the king of the English, and another stepson, and stepdaughters, who perhaps didn't share any love for their, potentially, younger stepmother. Will Lady Eadgifu work with or against Athelstan? Read on to find out.

Meet Lady Eadgifu.
King of Kings has a number of characters, and King Ealdred, or Lord Ealdred of Bamburgh is one of them. But who was he, and what was the independent kingdom of Bamburgh?
Now, I think we all 'think' we know about Bebbanburg (Bamburgh) thanks to Uhtred of Bebbanburg, Bernard Cornwell's creation. But events in Bamburgh are complex and not easy to understand, even for someone who might think they know the period quite well.
So what was Bamburgh? Bamburgh is traditionally associated with the kingdom of Bernicia – the far northern Saxon kingdom, which was particularly prominent during the seventh century, so three hundred years before the events of King of Kings, and which was joined to the kingdom of Deira to form Northumbria. Check out my Gods and Kings trilogy for the some of the events of this period.
The iconic castle that stands today is a later building, the oldest part, the keep, dating to the end of the Saxon period, while much of what we see today is the later work of Lord Armstrong (who built Cragside), when he significantly repaired the remains. Indeed, the family still own Bamburgh Castle, although not Cragside, which is a National Trust property. (I've written a 1930s mystery set at Cragside).
Bamburgh is slightly unusual in that there are old images of the castle before the 19th century work of Armstrong. I enjoy collecting these antique prints. We often find such buildings falling into ruin, not being ruined and the rebuilt.
Antique prints of Bamburgh Castle
And Bamburgh Castle and its environs are stuffed with archaeology. There were some very famous archaeological investigations undertaken in the 1960s, and there's now a dedicated team unearthing the treasures hidden beneath the current building. You can follow the teams work at Bamburgh Research Project's Blog. You might know about Bamburgh because of the seventh century bones discovered in the Bole Hole, and there's a great book about this, Warrior by Edoardo Albert and Paul Gething – available from all good book sellers. You can also learn about where these bones now lie by checking out Bamburgh Bones.
But, all this is before the events of the tenth-century (or after), as fascinating as it is. So, what was happening in the tenth-century? The easiest way I can describe this is that while York, and much of the Saxon kingdom of Northumbria was inundated with the Norse (Viking raiders if you will), Bamburgh was a bastion against this influx, wedged between the growing might of the kingdom of the Scots, ruled by Constantin, and the constantly changing affairs of York, and its string of Norse rulers, often associated with Dublin as well.
Ealdred's father, Eadwulf is somewhat better attested, with the Annals of Ulster naming him as 'king of the Saxons of the north.' He died in c.913 and then Ealdred seems to have had a difficult time of it, his gaze more likely to turn to the Scots kingdom than the known Saxon rulers based in Mercia and Wessex when he was threatened by the Norse Viking raiders.
However, he joined an alliance with Edward the Elder, king of the Anglo-Saxons, in 924.
'And then the king of Scots and all the nation of Scots chose him as father and lord; and [so also did] Reginald and Eadwulf's sons and all those who live in Northumbria, both English and Danish and Norweigans and others; and also the king of the Strathclyde Britons and all the Strathclyde Britons.'
(Swanton, M. trans and edit The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, (Orion Publishing Group, 2000 p.104 (A text )
While this can't be dated any more precisely than 924, it mustn't have been long before the death of Edward the Elder, which occurred in 924. And this then takes us to the beginning of King of Kings. Will Ealdred continue his alliance with the new king of the Anglo-Saxons, or will he look elsewhere, especially now that the Viking raider, Sihtric, is lord of York/Jorvik?
As to Uhtred himself, of The Last Kingdom fame, he's even more shadowy than Ealdred, and for that reason, doesn't feature at all in King of Kings, although there is an ealdorman Uhtred who will appear in subsequent books.

My new book, King of Kings, is a multi-viewpoint novel telling the story of events in Britain from 925-934. I thought it would be good to share details of the historical people my main characters are based on.
My portrayal of Hywel, better known as Hywel Dda (which autocorrect is determined should say Dad), and which means 'good' (a unique epithet in Wales), is of course, fictional, but who was the historical Hywel? Firstly, it should be noted that this epithet is a later invention, not assigned to Hywel until at least the twelfth century, and perhaps, as Dr. Kari Maund has commented in The Welsh Kings: Warriors, Warlords and Princes, a reflection of border events at that period rather than the earlier tenth century. (Dr Maund was one of my university lecturers, so she knows her stuff).

Hywel has no date of birth recorded, and indeed, like Constantin of the Scots, he seems to have ruled for a long time providing much-needed consistency. Hywel ap Cadell was the grandson of the famous Rhodri Mawr, who'd united the kingdoms of the Welsh during his rule. But, this unity fragmented on Rhodri's death.
To begin with, Hywel ruled Dehuebarth, probably with his brother, Clydog, (who may have been the younger brother) after the death of their father in c.911. He, his brother, and his cousin, Idwal of Gwynedd, submitted to the English king, Edward the Elder in the late 910s.
'and the kings of Wales: Hywel and Clydog and Idwal and all the race of the Welsh, sought him as their lord [Edward]'. ASC A 922 corrected to 918 (Swanton, M. trans and edit The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, (Orion Publishing Group, 2000)p.103-4)
Not long after, Clydog died, leaving Hywel as ruler of Dehuebarth. Hywel had also married Elen, the daughter of Llywarch and niece of Rhydderch, the last king of Dyfed, and he was able to use this alliance to eventually claim Dyfed as well.
Hywel's believed to have been highly educated, and some historians suggest he was particularly fascinated with King Alfred, and all he'd achieved and was therefore keen to emulate many of his actions. This could also be why his name came to be associated with the codification of laws in later traditions. What fascinates me most about Hywel is his decision to ally closely with King Athelstan which will be explored in King of Kings. Certainly, he is a intriguing figure in early tenth-century Britain, and not just because we know he made a pilgrimage to Rome in 928, and still managed to return back to his kingdom and continue ruling it.

My new book, King of Kings, has a number of main characters. Meet Constantin, the king of the Scots.
My new book, King of Kings, is a multi-viewpoint novel telling the story of events in Britain from 925-934. I thought it would be good to share details of the historical people my character are based on.
My portrayal of Constantin, the king of the Scots, is of course fictional in King of Kings, but he is based on a historical individual, Constantin (e) II, so who exactly was he?
Constantin is a fascinating character. Again, and as with Athelstan, his exact date of birth is unknown, but it must have been, at the latest, by 877/8, when his short-reigned father died.
By 900, Constantin was the king of the Scots (we think – there is some confusion about this). This wasn't yet quite Scotland, but it was getting there. The ancient kingdoms of Cait, Fortriu, Atholl and Dal Riata, were ruled by one king, Constantin. But, he hadn't succeeded his father, Aed, but rather a man named Domnall II, his cousin. At this time there were two rival dynasties and they strictly alternated the kingship.
Affairs in the kingdom of the Scots often intermingled with those of the independent kingdom of Bamburgh, Strathclyde, and of course, the Norse, or Viking raiders, if you will. Indeed, the entry recording Constantin's death in the Annals of Ulster, reads as though there was often strife.
'Constantinus son of Ed held the kingdom for xl years in whose third year the Northmen plundered Dunkeld and all Albania. In the following year the Northmen were slain in Strath Erenn…And the battle of Tinemore happened in his xviii year between Constantin and Ragnall and the Scotti had the victory. And the battle of Dun Brunde in his xxxiiii year.' (Alex Woolf, From Pictland to Scotland, 789-1070,p.126)
Constantin, ruling for decades, and I mean decades, seems to have brought much needed stability to the kingdom, as affairs there very much mirrored the emerging 'England' to the south.
'Constantin's reign has increasingly come to be see as one of the most significant in the history of Scotland. Not only was it very long, at least forty years, but it was also the period during which conflict and diplomatic relations between a kingdom recognisably ancestral to Scotland and one recognisably ancestral to England first occurred.' (Alex Woolf, From Pictland to Scotland, 789-1070, p.128)
Constantin allied with the rulers of Bamburgh, and York, and also, on occasion, both Æthelflæd of Mercia and Edward the Elder, after her death. But, he seems to have been quite flexible in his thinking, and was prepared to pick and choice as he saw fit.
By the beginning of King of Kings, Constantin would have been in his mid-forties, and he was still to rule for many years to come, and he was certainly a more than adequate counterpart to Athelstan, king of the English, no doubt helped by his sons and grandsons, as his reign continued.

My new book, King of Kings, has a number of main characters. Meet Athelstan, the King of the English.
Athelstan is one of the main characters in my new book, King of Kings, a multiple point of view story, recounting affairs in Britain from 925-934.
Based on a historical person, my portrayal of him, is of course, fictitious, but there are many details known about him. However, we don't know for sure who his mother was, it's believed she might have been called Ecgwynn, and we don't know, for certain, the name of his sister, but it's believed she might have been named Edith. What is known is that his father was Edward, the son of King Alfred, and known to us today as Edward the Elder. Athelstan is also rare in that he is one of only two Saxon kings for who a contemporary image is available. (The other is Edgar, who would have been his step-nephew)
Edward the Elder

It must be supposed that Athelstan was born sometime in the late 890s. And according to a later source, that written by William of Malmesbury in the 1100s (so over two hundred years later), Athelstan was raised at the court of his aunt, Æthelflæd of Mercia. David Dumville has questioned the truth of this, but to many, this has simply become accepted as fact.
'he [Alfred] arranged for the boy's education at the court of his daughter, Æthelflæd and Æthelred his son in law, where he was brought up with great care by his aunt and the eminent ealdorman for the throne that seemed to await him.'[i]

Why then might this have happened? Edward became king on the death of his father, Alfred, and either remarried at that time, or just before. Edward's second wife (if indeed, he was actually married to Athelstan's mother, which again, some doubt), Lady Ælfflæd is believed to have been the daughter of an ealdorman and produced a hefty number of children for Edward. Perhaps then, Athelstan and his unnamed sister, were an unwelcome reminder of the king's first wife, or perhaps, as has been suggested, Alfred intended for Athelstan to succeed in Mercia after the death of Æthelflæd, and her husband, Æthelred, for that union produced one child, a daughter named Ælfwynn.
There is an acknowledged dearth of information surrounding King Edward the Elder's rule of Wessex. He's acknowledged as the king of the Anglo-Saxons. His father had been the king of Wessex. Historians normally use the surviving charters to unpick the political machinations of the Saxon kings, but for Edward, there's a twenty year gap between the beginning and end of his reign, where almost no known genuine charters have survived. What isn't known for sure, is how much control, if any, he had in Mercia. Was Mercia subservient to Wessex or was it ruled independently? It's impossible to tell. And this makes it difficult to determine what Athelstan might have been doing, and also what his father's intentions were towards him.

What is known is that following the death of King Edward in 924, Athelstan was acknowledged as the king of Mercia; his stepbrother, Ælfweard was proclaimed king in Wessex. As with all events at this time, it shouldn't be assumed that just because this is what happened, this is what was always intended.
'Here King Edward died at Farndon in Mercia; and very soon, 16 days after, his son Ælfweard died at Oxford; and their bodies lie at Winchester. And Athelstan was chosen as king by the Mercians and consecrated at Kingston.'[i]
[i] Swanton, M. trans and edit The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, (Orion Publishing Group, 2000), D text p.105
But, if Athelstan was raised in Mercia, it's highly likely he was a warrior from a young age, helping the Mercians defeat the Viking raiders who still had control of the Danish Five Boroughs of Lincoln, Nottingham, Derby, Nottingham and Leicester.
And the events of 924 are where King of Kings begins, and so I will leave him there. By now, he would have been perhaps thirty years old, give or take a few years. What sort of man was he? What sort of king might he be? Do please read King of Kings to find out. And, if this intrigues you, then do please have a look at Sarah Foot's wonderful monograph on him, Athelstan, from Yale Publishing.

Here it is. The new cover for A Conspiracy of Kings, the sequel to The Lady of Mercia's Daughter. And not only does it have a shiny new cover, it's had a thorough new edit as well ( as had The Lady of Mercia's Daughter).
Here's the blurb
Mercia, 918.
Lady Ælfwynn has taken her mother's place as the Lady of Mercia, to the displeasure of her uncle in Wessex, and against his efforts to subvert it.
King Edward, casts his eye longingly over Mercia, and finds a willing accomplice where none should exist. This time, the threat to Lady Ælfwynn is not as easy to defeat.
This is the continuing story of Lady Ælfwynn, the granddaughter of King Alfred, begun in The Lady of Mercia's Daughter.
It is intended that The Lady of Mercia's Daughter should be read before A Conspiracy of Kings.

2022 – A Writing Year in Review
2022 has been a busy writing year. Routine has been important, as has setting firm deadlines and also having some well-deserved time off. I've also distracted myself from my constant need to write by taking a few weeks away from the keyboard to work my very part-time job. People think I'm nuts, but the only way to dampen down my mind is to fill it with something else! It helps that I can trust myself to get things done and knuckle down when I need to. I'm adopting the same approach to 2023. I've already got the first six months mapped out writing-wise.
So, what have I been writing/editing in 2022?
In January, I re-edited Pagan Warrior and finished writing Wolf of Mercia.
In February, I edited Cragside and started work simultaneously on Warrior of Mercia and The Last Seven while also editing Pagan King. I worked myself hard because I knew what was coming later in the year.
I continued to work on Warrior of Mercia and The Last Seven throughout March, and finished my first draft of Warrior of Mercia in April. This allowed me to start work on my first non-fiction book, due out sometime in 2024 with Pen and Sword books.
During May and June, I had a bit of a hiatus as I was on a wonderful holiday in Orkney and also working my part-time job. But I did complete an edit on Warrior of Mercia during the late May half-term, so I did a bit of writing:)
When I finally got back to my writing in July, I was back to working on The Last Seven, having completed my copyedits for Warrior of Mercia.
Throughout August, I worked on what is now King of Kings, and also devoted the month to my non-fiction project.
During September, I wrote a lot more for King of Kings, having decided to play around with the original book, and began work on Icel 4, which I finished the first draft of in October. I also worked on a short story that precedes the events in King of Kings.
And then, I spent November working on the next book in the Earls of Mercia series, The King's Brother, while during December, I returned to my non-fiction project, did some editing on Icel 4, now entitled Eagle of Mercia, and worked on my non-fiction book. I also completed an edit on The Lady of Mercia's Daughter to go with the fabulous new cover.
For all my careful planning, December was a very full-on month, and I worked right up until 6pm on 23rd December because I needed to get some editing done. Next year, I need to be a bit more wary of just how short December can feel.
In terms of words written this year, I don't keep a strict record, but I would place it at about 500,000. I don't think it's my biggest tally to date, but it's still been very busy. For anyone curious about my writing routine, I'll be presenting on it for The History Quill masterclass in April 2023. You can find the details on the link. I think a good daily routine is so important for writers, and so I'm going to be talking about how I do what I do:)
I also took the time to attend several conventions, virtually (The History Quill Convention, The HNSNA one-day convention, and the IMC in Leeds – which feeds my non-fiction needs) as well as in-person (The HNS Conference in Durham, and one on the Bamburgh Bones). I tried my hand at Saxon-era embroidery and of course, spent more time making mugs at the local pottery. I might have shared photos of my slightly wonky attempts.
I can't see that I did a post on my writing throughout 2021, but I have found my 2020 post about my writing during Lockdown.
If you want to see what I was reading during 2022, then check it out here.

The Lady of Mercia's Daughter has a fabulous new cover
I'm really excited to share the new cover for The Lady of Mercia's Daughter with my readers. (The text has also had a thorough refresh as well).
The Lady of Mercia's Daughter is the story of Lady Ælfwynn, daughter of Lady Æthelflæd of Mercia (yes, Mercia again:)).
Following the death of her mother in June 918, Lady Ælfwynn is the first known woman to have succeeded her mother as the ruler of one of the Saxon kingdoms. Yet depressingly little is known about her. And that was all the excuse I needed to craft a narrative of her time as Mercia's leader.
Rereading the book, which is one I credit with helping me create the wonderful King Coelwulf, I was surprised by how many kernels I recognised from The Last King. Indeed, Coelwulf even gets a very brief mention.
Betrayal is a family affair.
12th June AD918.
Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians and daughter of Alfred the Great, is dead.
Ælfwynn, the niece of Edward, King of Wessex, has been bequeathed her mother's power and status by the men of the Mercian witan. But she knows Mercia is vulnerable to the north, exposed to the retreating world of the Viking raiders from her mother's generation.
With her cousin Athelstan, Ealdorman Æthelfrith and his sons, Archbishop Plegmund and her band of trusted warriors, Ælfwynn must act decisively to subvert the threat from the Norse. Led by Lord Rognavaldr, the grandson of the infamous Viking raider, Ivarr of Dublin, they've turned their gaze toward the desolate lands of northern Saxon England and the jewel of York.
Inexplicably she's also exposed to the south, where her detested cousin, Ælfweard, and uncle, King Edward, eye her position covetously, their ambitions clear to see.
This is the unknown story of Ælfwynn, the daughter of the Lady of the Mercians and the startling events of late 918 when family loyalty and betrayal marched hand in hand across lands only recently reclaimed by the Mercians. Kingdoms could be won or lost through treachery and fidelity, and there was little love and even less honesty. And the words of a sword were heard far more loudly than those of a king or churchman, noble lady's daughter or Viking raider.

Welcome to History Writers Day 2022
Welcome to History Writers Day (weekend) 2022, organised by the fabulous @Book2Cover on Twitter. Started last year, this is a weekend of History Writers sharing their books, special offers, and just an opportunity to celebrate all things history and historical fiction. That it just about coincides with the first-year book birthday for The Automobile Assassination is excellent.
So, first, a little bit about myself. I mainly write stories set in Saxon England in the years before the events of 1066. Whereas some authors might write a series in a few different periods, I've opted to tell as many stories from the 600 years of Saxon England as possible. Starting in the seventh century, and running up to about the 1040s (at the moment – the series will run up to 1066 when it's finished), there is so much material to work with. I tend to write about the 'lost' characters, and events, and I love battles and politics, and sometimes, a bit of a love story as well. But mainly fighting, and politics. I enjoy a war of words just as much as a war of swords:) And my characters are likely to be a bit 'fresh' with their language (The Ninth Century series – I'm looking at you).
And, when I'm after a bit of light relief, I write the odd 20th-century mystery because sometimes I just want my characters to be able to get into a car and not worry about their horse.
For History Writers Day, I have paperbacks for sale on the blog, (which I hope will work), and I'm also running a competition to win a signed copy of The Automobile Assassination and Warrior of Mercia (2 separate prizes). Just sign up for my newsletter, and receive a free short story set after the events of the Gods and Kings trilogy, and I will pick two lucky winners. I will post worldwide! I will close the competition on 1st December 2022, but you will still get the free short story if you sign up after that date.
If the book you're after isn't available, please drop me a line at mjporterauthor@gmail.com. I do have other books in stock, but there's just too many to pop them all on the blog.
Not in writing order, but rather, in chronological order, here are the books I've written. The majority are indie published, but I am also working with the wonderful Boldwood Books to bring my Saxon stories to a wider audience. An increasing number of titles are available in audio format and hardback, as well as ebook and paperback. I'm not adding lots of links other than ones for the series on my blog, but you can find my author page on Amazon here. Select titles are also available widely, including The Eagle of Mercia Chronicles, the Gods and Kings Trilogy and Cragside, a 1930s mystery.

MISSING QUILTS!
Read here about Marti Michell's stolen quilt, "Where's Elvis" : http://www.frommarti.com/marti_stolen_quilts.shtml "Where's Elvis?" WAS STOLEN while on exhibit at a European hobby show several years ago ~ now it can only be seen on that TV show and in Marti's book or slide shows. We think the quilt now resides somewhere in the southwestern United States, based on a conversation between Marti and a show visitor prior to the quilt's kidnapping....i`f you know anything about this...please contact : Patti Bachelder patti@frommarti.com or call the business at: 770-458-6500
Close-up of front:
Showing duotone photos of Elvis in the cornerstones.The pink fabric has a small regular dot pattern.
Back View:
The skewed center square features Elvis playing guitar
and in black and white photos. The pink, white and black print in the border features Elvis singing into a mike and the word ELVIS.
Kim Zebrowski hopes the quilting community can help locate this quilt, called Quilting with the Stars. This was the guild's raffle quilt for the 2015-2016 year. It is now missing and presumed stolen. The Capital Quilter's Guild of Raleigh, North Carolina had raised about $900 of the expected $4,000 so far. They realized it was missing at the November guild meeting on November 19, 2015. The disappearance is a great loss to the guild.
This queen size quilt was made with four shades of blue and many yellows. The quilt has appliqued oak leaves in an oval in the center with a cardinal. There are pieced stars and appliqued cardinals around the center. The quilt is labeled with a list of guild members who made the blocks. Kim's name is also signed on the back of the quilt under the label. The label is appliqued to the bottom right corner.
This quilt is truly a "Guild" quilt as it was designed by a guild member, blocks were made by guild members, a bee put all the blocks together. The hand appliqued leaves and cardinals were done by Kim Zebrowski and the custom quilting was done by Cathy Kirk.
If you find this quilt, please contact Kim at kimthez@aol.com.

FOUND!... But Whose is it?
"...On Sunday, June 21st, one of my neighbors found a quilt on the westbound lane of Hwy 64 near Tarboro, NC. She says the quilt was wrapped in one of those plastic blanket packages. The quilt appears to be newly made, in wonderful condition. She says it is hand and machine quilting. There is no label attached and she cannot find a signature. She wants to return it to its owner, as she is a needle worker, and says she would be sick if she lost one of her works.
Please pass this email around and if anyone knows anything, contact

This is a quilt I made for my nephew and his wife for their wedding in February, 2008. It had a label on the back saying something like "Congratulations, Love Auntie Jeanne 2008" Below is part of the story from Channel 3, Springfield, Massachusetts news:
"Marine Robert Lamica was getting ready for his second deployment to Iraq on Monday. So his parents drove to North Carolina to bring his wife and the couple's belongings back to Massachusetts. During the trip home to Florence, the family stayed at a motel in Delaware.
While they slept, a security camera recorded their car and Uhaul being driven away, stolen in the middle of the night. Along with everything Robert and his wife owned.
Lamica says, "Everything they own is on that truck and in the trailer, all of his Iraq medals all of his Iraq pictures, their wedding pictures, their furniture, their clothes, everything they own is on that truck."
Please contact Jeanne if you have any possible info about this quilt!

Marcia, this quilt was entered in the Arizona State Fair, 2006. We have an "outreach" program which allows us to drop off out quilts, and a volunteer collects and delivers them to the fair, also picking them up after the fair. This quilt was not recovered.? It is an Irish Celtic Design, about 40x55 inches, lime green background with appliqued Celtic knots and hand quilted.
If anyone has knowledge of this quilt, contact Denise Adams @: denise.adams@dcranch.com
Marcia, The quilt that I made for my first granddaughter, Logan, is missing. It was in a box with another quilt I made for her, and came up missing during a move.
Logan's tesselated fish is about 36" X 42-46". I didn't have quite enough of the yellow background sea-life fabric for the first border, and there are small areas of yellow-gold fabric to fill the gap. Logan's name is embroidered or written on one of them. The quilt is machine pieced and hand quilted. The fish are blue, gold, purple and green. The first border is a multi-colored sea-life fabric, and the next border is aqua. It has a dark binding. My name, Linda Hynick, is on the label on the back.
Another quilt was also in the box. It is probably 36" X 45" and is a flannel rag style quilt. It has pastel and baby print flannel fabrics on the ragged side, and darker, winter fabrics on the back side. I do not have a photo of this quilt.
The box was missing after a move on 11/21/06 from Phoenix to ElMirage, AZ. The moving company is Starving Students, and they deny having or having seen the box.
Anyone finding the quilts can contact me at lhynick@hotmail.com . Please put lost quilt in the subject line!

Royal Athlete is a new venture from Berlin's Hot Pony party, a well-loved excuse to play camp Italo, boogie and '80s electro from former Bristol residents Vexkiddy and Antoni Maiovvi. Both offer up tracks on this debut 12″, with Vexkiddy's bouncy synth funk throw-down "Robotic Understanding" – all squidgy melodies and darting rhythms – just edging out Maovvi's italo-revivalism in the highlight stakes. Elsewhere, UK Italo royalty Bill Ambrose and Marika Gauchi join forces as The Dreamers' for the deliciously camp "He's My Man", before Berlin newcomer Dimitri SoEmotional delivers "Unconditionally", a chunk of deep modern boogie.

Spring means fence, and birds.
We just went out today and drove 12 big fence posts before lunch. We marked the locations for these big posts with a few little step-in posts last fall when the marking crew came out just before the ground froze. Now we can drive the big guys in without worrying if we're gonna hit any buried utility lines.
The frost has left the ground (at least the top 3 feet) and the previous week of rain softened things up nicely. It's time to get the overly-large "front yard" fenced in so the cows can do all the mowing. Less gasoline and more beef, that's the plan.
While we were out driving posts I saw the first tree swallow of the year. Luckily it was checking out one of the 4 new Swallow Houses that I just put up along the road. Our neighbors pond just across the road is always a huge draw for the swallows, so they ought to like having some convenient housing nearby.
I have come up with a better way of mounting the bird houses to our fence posts. I fasten the bird house to a 2′ length of 2×2 and then use a small wedge (2×2 ripped diagonally, about 8″ long) to wedge it in the top of the fence post. So far this seems to be much more secure than the old method of using a single larger wedge.
The cows and pigs are all chomping at the proverbial bit to get out onto pasture. They're confined to a few "sacrifice paddocks" until the grass gets high enough to let them out to graze.
You begin to see where the term sacrifice paddock comes from. Bored cows and pigs can wreck havoc on newly-thawed ground. The trick is to keep the havoc contained to a few small areas so the rest of the grass gets a good head-start.
A few more weeks of hay, and then they get the good stuff.

Amplifying Divestment
Some of Australia's best loved musicians are helping to amplify the fossil fuel divestment movement which is taking the world by storm!
Some of Australia's best loved musicians are helping to amplify the fossil fuel divestment movement!
Ash Grunwald Amplifying Divestment
Amplify Divestment focuses the cultural power of musicians on the fastest growing effort to tackle global warming – fossil fuel divestment.
Green Music Australia is partnering with 350.org and Market Forces to bring together musicians who have pledged to take their money out of banks and superannuation funds that are funding the expansion of the fossil fuel industry when the science tells us we have to stop. These musicians are joining a movement with huge momentum, a movement of universities, churches, investment funds and thousands of people saying "it is wrong to wreck the climate and we want no part of that." And as musicians, they are amplifying that message, singing it for the world to hear.
Amplify Divestment is helping musicians with the practical process of divesting and with communicating it to their fans. So far, some of Australia's best loved and respected musicians, such as Ash Grunwald, Missy Higgins, Rob Hirst, Nigel Westlake and Felix Riebl, are taking part.
Divestment is simply the opposite of investment.
It involves removing money from financial institutions that invest in goods or activities that you do not support – in this case mining coal, oil and gas. But it's about much more than the money itself – it's about saying "This is wrong and I don't want any part in it."
Felix Riebl Amplifying Divestment
There's a long and successful history of divestment campaigns targeting tobacco, weapons manufacturing and the South African apartheid regime. The fossil fuel divestment movement calls on citizens concerned about global warming to align their money with their values, and move their money out of banks and superannuation funds that are financially supporting the fossil fuel industry. This is arguably one of the most powerful actions an individual can take. And it has already been taken by thousands of people and major institutions such as the Australian National University, the Uniting Church of Australia, Stanford University, the British Medical Association and many more.
Musicians are hugely culturally influential people, influencing the clothes we wear and the food we eat, literally putting words in our mouths. Amplify Divestment recognises the important role musicians can play and is working to help musicians use their influence to spread the fossil fuel divestment movement.
Musicians who are featured on the Amplify Divestment website have pledged to move their money out of banks and/or superannuation funds that are financially supporting the fossil fuel industry. They have also committed to promoting the campaign to their fans and encouraging them to get their money out of fossil fuels.
There has never been a more important time to get involved.
Even though the world's scientific community recognises that the world needs to leave the vast majority of fossil fuels in the ground if runaway climate change is to be avoided, the big Australian banks and superannuation funds continue to invest billions of dollars into the fossil fuel industry. Between 2008 and 2013, ANZ, Commonwealth, NAB and Westpac have loaned almost $20 billion to fossil fuel projects in Australia, with many of these projects being in ecologically sensitive areas such as the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. The majority of superannuation funds in Australia are significant shareholders in fossil fuel companies and affiliated companies such as BHP Billiton, Woodside Petroleum and AGL.

Q: I am not able to intersect arrays. POST, PHP, How to intersect the POST array? 1) I am not able to intersect arrays:
2) I am not able to get values of associative POST array using a key
$adbcols=Array ( [tcid] => tcid .... array containing database column names

$aformval=Array ( ['tcbcheck'] => on ['tcprice'] => 100 ['tctitf'] => 01

.. array containing POST data
function amatchfnc($a, $b) {
    if ($a==$b){  return 0; }
    return ($a>$b) ? 1:-1;
    } // function amatchfnc($a, $b)

foreach ($_POST as $apie=>$aformval  ) {

       $aresf=array_intersect_ukey($aformval,$adbcols,"amatchfnc");
} }

MORE FULL CODE:
foreach ($_POST as $apie=>$aformval  ) {
echo "

 apie:"; print_r($apie);
echo "

 aformval:";  print_r($aformval);  //prints, also  aformval[tcbcheck]
echo "

 aformval[tcbcheck]".$aformval['tcbcheck']; //gives empy line

if(isset($_SESSION['vcurprcode'])) { $aformval['tcfkcode']=$_SESSION['vcurprcode'];}
                               $aresf=array_intersect_ukey($aformval,$adbcols,"amatchfnc");

echo "

                                            insertvalues($aresf,$adbcols, $conn, $vdbname, $tprice);
} //foreach ($_POST as $apie )

$aresf should contain all $aformal values.
I make intersection just to check if column names of aref coincides with column names of the database.  $adbcols i am getting from database schema.
THE HTML FILE which i POST contains the following paragraphs:
<input type= "text" name="mon01['tcprice']"  value="<?php echo $mon01['tcprice']; ?>"  " >

<input type="range" name="mon01[range]" min="0" max="1000" >

<input type="hidden" class="mon" name="mon01['tctitf']"  value="01"; " size="1" >

<input type="hidden" class="mon" name="mon01['tcdatefromto']"
value="priceFrom20140101To20140131"; " size="1" >

<input type="hidden" class="mon" name="mon01['tcbset']"  value="3"; " size="1" >

<input type="hidden" class="mon" name="mon01['tcbsettit']"  value="month"; " >

<textarea  cols="50" rows="3" name="mon01['tcdesc']"
value="<?php echo $mon01['tcdesc'];  ?>" > </textarea>

GENERALLY array intersection works. The example below is with some arrays:
<?php
$af=array( "a"=>"a","c"=>"c", "e"=>"e" );
$ad=array( "a"=>"a","b"=>"b","c"=>"c","d"=>"d", "e"=>"e" );

$af=array_intersect_ukey($af,$ad,"amatchfnc");
    echo "
 print_r(af)="; print_r($aresf);
?>

gives : print_r(aresf)=Array ( [a] => a [c] => c [e] => e )
But if i try to intersect with POST array $aformval, i am getting strange results. How to intersect the POST array?

A: I am not completely sure about your requirement, but i think this what you want. You can try array_merge(). Merges the elements of one or more arrays together so that the values of one are appended to the end of the previous one. Since you have same key in both array the key=> value of second array will be in the resultant array(in this case $aformval)
$adbcols = array('tcid'=>'tcid','tcbcheck'=>'tcbcheck');
$aformval = array('tcprice'=>'100','tcbcheck'=>'on','tctitf'=>0,'tcid'=>1);
$arr = array_merge($adbcols,$aformval);
print_r($arr);

Result:
Array
(
    [tcid] => 1
    [tcbcheck] => on
    [tcprice] => 100
    [tctitf] => 0
)

If you need to check whether all $aformaval keys are present in $adbcols then try
$arr =array_diff(array_keys($aformval),array_keys($adbcols));

if count($arr) > 0 then you have keys in $aformval that are not present in $adbcols. You can see the difference by print_r($arr);

A: Use array_merge http://in1.php.net/array_merge
$result = array_merge($array1, $array2);

A: The reason was that  i was intersecting $aformval["'key'"] with $dbcols["key"]
OR i have to make html form without quates:
<input type= "text" name="mon01[tcprice]" value="<?php echo $mon01[tcprice]; ?>"   >

OR i have to add quates to adbcols keys, i.e. use $adbcols["'tcprice'"].
 <input type= "text" name="mon01['tcprice']" value="<?php echo $mon01['tcprice']; ?>"   >
