Girls and Women suffer in countries like Afghanistan!
Marriage in childhood and violence
Gulsoom was a 12 year old girl who was drowned in her childhood's dreams and games. She even did not know the meaning of marriage and shared life with a husband, however, she invited her friends to participate in her doll's wedding.
One day instead of her doll she becomes the bride herself and goes to her husband's home to Ghazni Province of Afghanistan. After six months of her marriage, her husband dies. She did not have anyone to live with them and did not have any other way, but to return to her parents' house. When she returned to her parents' house, her parents did not behave with her like six months before. She spends very hard days. Her mother is no more kind to her. She daily abused and insulted her. She was beating her saying she had a bad luck and why she came back to her house. Gulsoom lives this harsh and difficult life for one and a half year and then due to violence she no more can tolerate, so by the help of her sister-in-law she goes to Kabul, Afghanistan. From there she is helped by a woman to take her to (Women Office for Afghan Women) and they are trying to find a way to solve Gulsoom's problems so that she can live a normal life.
This is the real story of one child in Afghanistan, but there (not might be) but are millions of Gulsooms suffering in different parts of Afghanistan. They are helpless and must live even the worst life they are provided.
What can we do being women all over the world to help them in action?????????
keep up the good work
You are doing so much to help the tragic situation of girls in Afghanistan just by bringing Gulsoom's story to our attention. At the Gender Justice Dialogue going on right now Sister Joan Chittister said, "If you cry out, eventually the world will cry out with you." And Catherine MacKinnon believes "we will end gender violence as an ordinary everyday matter in our time." Keep working at it!
Be well,

Needs Assessment
Dearest Hawa,
Thank you for sharing the story of Gulsoom. It is so important for the International community to hear the stories of Afghan women to give the world a clear picture of the reality for women in your country and what the needs are to empower women and provide them with the tools to take an active role in rebuilding your nation.
I recently read a powerful report written by Women for Women International on women in Afghanistan.
The conclusion of their report and advice for the International community was this:
• Ensure that aid and development reach women e.g. via microcredit loans and other means of generating income, which benefits the whole community
• Implement UN Security Council Resolution 1325 for the protection and recognition of women in conflict zones – funding national institutions aimed at supporting women and their rights, especially at the local level
• Re-allocate military funding and resources from broad development initiatives to those that increase safety and security for civilians in villages, markets and other public spaces – so that local organisations, civil society and NGOs can mobilise Afghan people to re-knit the social fabric.
They also urged voluntary organisations, NGOs and others to take the lead in areas such as:
• Publicity to make women aware of their rights and the benefits to society. Options include radio programmes, public-service announcements, television dramas, billboards, giveaways like buttons and t-shirts, cartoons and illustrations of
civic and constitutional developments.
• Programmes to raise local awareness on domestic violence. It encourages male leaders from all sectors—religion,
police, military, government and business--to help change the attitudes and behaviours of other men.
• Denounce violence against women and bring perpetrators to justice. The Action Plan for Peace, Justice, and Reconciliation, adopted at the Bonn conference, should be modified for domestic violence and implemented locally.
• Provide local incentives for new livelihoods before enforced eradication of opium crops: unless the rural Afghans who rely upon the poppy industry have an alternative, they will face more hardship which in turn will lead to more forced marriages, prostitution and violence against women.
• Reject limits on women's political participation. One option would be to cultivate a national development corps of women ready to take on leadership and decision-making roles at community, provincial and national levels. The 2009 elections present an opportunity to launch new initiatives such as voter registration and education.
• Promote literacy, academic study and technical expertise. Although illiteracy is a major problem, those who can read need better access to locally-based higher education in science, IT, medicine, law, teacher training and alternative education. Universities from other countries could establish satellite campuses, exchange programmes and research partnerships.
• Increase public access to information. The national census must collect reliable data, broken down by gender, for policy and
budgeting. International organisations like the UN and its agencies, the World Bank and the World Health Organisation must ensure the results are transparent and publicly accessible.
• Explain the law. Efforts to extend justice across Afghanistan must reconcile new and future laws with pre-existing local legal structures. People must understand how they can incorporate new laws into their way of life.

Do you find this to be an accurate assessment and steps of action for the international community? What needs do you feel are not currently being met? Know that we are listening and interested to hear the needs of Afghan women directly from women on the ground, like yourself.
In friendship,

Globalization: Stiglitz's Case
The sharecropping system weakens incentives—where they share equally with the landowners, the effects are the same as a 50 percent tax on poor farmers. The IMF rails against high tax rates that are imposed against the rich, pointing out how they destroy incentives, but nary a word is spoken about these hidden taxes…. Land reform represents a fundamental change in the structure of society, one that those in the elite that populates the finance ministries, those with whom the international finance institutions interact, do not necessarily like.
Stiglitz considers, and rejects, the view that these and other choices are the result of a conspiracy between the IMF and powerful interests in the richer countries—a view that is increasingly popular among the anti-globalization protesters who now appear at the IMF's (and the World Bank's) meetings. Stiglitz's view is that in recent decades the IMF "was not participating in a conspiracy, but it was reflecting the interests and ideology of the Western financial community."
Finally, Stiglitz sees the IMF's systematic biases as a reflection of a deeper moral failing:
The lack of concern about the poor was not just a matter of views of markets and government, views that said that markets would take care of everything and government would only make matters worse; it was also a matter of values…. While misguidedly working to preserve what it saw as the sanctity of the credit contract, the IMF was willing to tear apart the even more important social contract.
Throughout the book, the sense of moral outrage is evident.
Do Stiglitz's criticisms hold up?
To begin, it is easy enough to accuse Stiglitz of selective memory. From reading Globalization and Its Discontents, one would never know that the IMF had ever done anything useful. Or that Stiglitz, and his colleagues first at the Council of Economic Advisers and then at the World Bank, had ever gotten anything wrong. Or that those against whom he often argued in the US government—especially at the Treasury, which he continually portrays as complicit in the IMF's misdeeds, but at the Federal Reserve System too—had ever gotten a question right. (In the book's sole mention of Alan Greenspan, Stiglitz accuses him of being excessively concerned with inflation to the exclusion of a vigorous expansion that could have otherwise taken place in the US during the Clinton years.)
One can also disagree with Stiglitz over the consequences of what the IMF plainly did, even including those policies it pursued that most people now agree proved counterproductive. By 2002 the Asian financial crisis of 1997–1998 is receding into the past. While some of the affected countries (most obviously Indonesia) still feel its effects, by now others have made solid recoveries. Stiglitz is right that they have not regained, and probably will not, the rates of growth they achieved before the crisis. But those rapid growth rates may well have been unsustainable in any case. Even in Russia, where per capita income remains well below what it was when the Soviet Union collapsed, and where the IMF pursued the policies toward which Stiglitz is the most scathing, the economic situation looks better today than it did when he was writing his book.
A more fundamental problem, as Stiglitz readily acknowledges, is that we cannot reliably know whether the consequences of the IMF's policies were worse than whatever the alternative would have been. Many longtime observers of the developing world will notice that Stiglitz rarely mentions economic policy mistakes that poor countries make on their own initiative. Nor does he pay much attention to the large-scale corruption that is endemic in many developing economies—except in the case of corruption in Russia, where he argues that the privatization program pushed by the IMF opened the way for corruption on a historically unprecedented scale. He also never points out that the typical developing country spends far more on its military forces (to fight whom?) than it receives in foreign aid; yet it would seem necessary to take account of such wasteful expenditures, along with graft in all its forms, if one is to give a clear picture of why the nondeveloping economies are not succeeding.
It is surprising too, in light of his emphasis on the absence of adequate regulation and supervision of financial institutions in the developing world, that Stiglitz does not make more of the mistakes made by private-sector businesses. For example, what made Korea vulnerable to the 1997–1998 Asian turmoil was that the country's business conglomerates (the "chaebols") had borrowed too heavily, and that the country's banks had financed these loans by borrowing in US dollars and relending in Korean won. True, banks abroad that were lending in dollars to the Korean banks may have become excessively confident that the IMF would bail them out if anything went wrong. But surely much of the fault lay with Korea's own businessmen and bankers. And once they had built their house of cards, how much damage would its inevitable collapse have caused if the IMF had simply stayed away?
Defenders of the IMF cannot claim that all went well after countries implemented the Fund's recommendations. But they would presumably argue that events would have turned out even worse on some alternative course. They would also presumably argue that of course they knew that information was imperfect, and markets incomplete, and institutions absent, in the countries that came to the IMF for assistance. The issue, to be argued on a case-by-case basis, is just what different set of actions might therefore have proved more beneficial.
Interestingly, there is also disagreement today over just how prevalent dire poverty is in the developing world—and, what is more important, whether poverty is increasing or decreasing. Stiglitz echoes the standard view that the number of people around the world living on less than $1 per day, or $2 per day, has been increasing in recent years. By contrast, his own colleague in the Columbia Economics Department, Xavier Sala-i-Martin, has recently published a study arguing just the opposite.3 Sala-i-Martin's point is that for purposes of assessing whether someone is economically well off or miserable, what matters is not how many US dollars the person's income could buy in the foreign exchange market but what standard of living that income can support in the place where he or she lives. Because the currency values established in foreign exchange markets (and also the values that governments set officially for currencies for which there is no market) often do not accurately reflect purchasing power, the difference between the two measures of income is sometimes large.
In India, for example, the average person's income in rupees in 2000 translated into just $460 per year at the prevailing market exchange rate of 44 rupees per dollar. But because food, clothing, housing, and other consumer necessities are so much cheaper in India than in the US, the same amount of rupees was equivalent to an American income of nearly $2,400. Similarly, the average Chinese income in 2000 was $840 at the official yuan–dollar market exchange rate, but more than $3,900 if measured on a purchasing power equivalent basis.4
Even if we allow for these differences in the cost of living, the number of people in the world who live on the equivalent of $1 per day, or $2 per day, is still depressingly large: according to Sala-i-Martin's estimate, nearly 300 million, and not quite 1 billion, respectively. But this is far below the 1.2 billion and 2.8 billion figures that have become familiar in public discussion and are used by Stiglitz. More important, Stiglitz follows the more familiar view in saying that these totals are increasing, but Sala-i-Martin estimates that they are declining despite the rapid growth in world population. As a result, he finds, the proportion of people living on what amounts to $1 per day has fallen from 20 percent of the world's population a quarter-century ago to just 5 percent today, while the $2-per-day poverty rate has fallen from 44 percent to 19 percent.
Much empirical research will have to be done and much analytical debate will have to take place before anyone can confidently decide which of these contrasting measurements is the more accurate. But it is worth pointing out that the major source of the decline in poverty over the last quarter-century, according to Sala-i-Martin's calculation, is the dramatic reduction in poverty in China, the world's most populous country—and Stiglitz, too, praises China's performance as one of the developing world's great recent economic success stories. (In keeping with his central theme, he argues that China succeeded in reforming its economy and reducing its poverty because it ignored the IMF's advice to liberalize and privatize abruptly, and instead followed the gradualist approach, adapted to its own situation, which he favors.) To be sure, the plight of many developing countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, remains dire, as Sala-i-Martin also points out, and it may well be deteriorating. But if attention is centered on people rather than countries, the great advances made in China, and to a lesser extent in India—which together account for nearly 38 percent of the world's population—necessarily represent a very significant improvement.
Stiglitz's attack on the IMF raises not just factual (and counterfactual) questions but substantive issues as well, particularly his argument that the IMF acts on behalf of banks and bondholders, and rich countries more generally, and therefore against the interests of the poor. To what extent is the IMF supposed to act as lending institutions ordinarily act? Stiglitz complains at length, and with many specific cases to cite, that the IMF violates countries' economic sovereignty when it requires them to carry out its policy recommendations as a condition for its granting credit. But don't responsible lenders normally impose such conditions on borrowers? Stiglitz never acknowledges that today the IMF faces serious criticism from many economists and politicians in the West on the ground that it makes loans with too few conditions, so that the borrowing countries often simply end up wasting the money.5
Or should the IMF think of itself not as a lending institution, acting as responsible lenders normally do, but instead as an institution charged solely with promoting the welfare of the borrowing countries, with waste of some credits to be expected? Some parts of Stiglitz's complaint are not so much about the IMF per se as about the absence of some form of international authority capable of imposing on citizens who are already relatively well off the burden of assisting their less fortunate fellow human beings elsewhere.
To be sure, the world's rich countries could simply agree among themselves to devote a much greater share of their own incomes to foreign aid (a frequently suggested standard is 1 percent of GDP), either out of a sense of moral obligation or in recognition that raising the incomes of poor countries would create benefits spilling over to the industrialized world as well. But in fact there is no such agreement. The foreign aid that most rich countries give is shrinking compared to their GDP, and the efficacy of such aid is increasingly being challenged anyway.
Even within countries with firmly established democratic governments, there is always debate about how generous such assistance should be and what form it should take. But a large part of what troubles Stiglitz and many others who share his views of inequality among countries is that there is not only no such agreement but also no effective mechanism—what he calls "systems of global governance"—for even choosing a policy in this important area and then making it stick. The earnest desire in some quarters for a more formal approach to international burden-sharing, together with the equally sincere resistance to the idea among others, is nothing new. But it is worth recognizing explicitly that it is central to the question of inequality.
Moreover, the matter at issue is deeper than simply whether there should or should not be functioning institutions empowered to act, in effect, as a world government. What obligations the citizens of one country owe to citizens of another is a question that goes to the heart of what is involved in being a nation-state and in acting as a responsible human being. Is it morally legitimate for US citizens to pay taxes to provide fellow Americans with a minimum standard of health care under Medicaid, or a minimum standard of nutrition through food stamps, that is far above what the average Angolan receives—and not at the same time be willing to pay the costs of bringing Angola, and the rest of the world's low-income countries, up to that standard? Most Americans will readily answer yes. But as philosophers like John Rawls and Thomas Pogge have argued, wholly apart from the practical benefits that we might gain from alleviating human misery abroad, justifying in moral terms why we owe more to strangers who are close at hand than we owe to strangers who are far away turns out to be complicated and, in the end, extremely difficult.
Many of the more practical economic elements of Stiglitz's argument are also issues of long standing. He makes a strong case for policies that favor gradualism over "shock therapy"; that put the emphasis not on what developing countries have in common but on how each is different; that place the concerns of the poor above those of creditors; that give maintaining full employment a higher priority than reducing inflation (at least when inflation is less than 20 percent a year); and that fight poverty and promote economic growth directly, rather than merely establish conditions under which economies will be likely to grow, and poverty to decline, on their own. There is serious debate over each element in this program. Stiglitz provides a powerful logical case, together with much by way of both broad-based evidence and firsthand specifics, to support his side on each of these issues. But his objective is not to give a balanced assessment of the debate.
Stiglitz has presented, as effectively as it is possible to imagine anyone making it, his side of the argument, including the substantive case for the kind of economic development policies he favors as well as his more specific indictment of what the IMF has done and why. His book stands as a challenge. It is now important that someone else—if possible, someone who thinks and writes as clearly as Stiglitz does, and who understands the underlying economic theory as well as he does, and who has a firsthand command of the facts of recent experience comparable to his—take up this challenge by writing the best possible book laying out the other sides of the argument. What is needed is not just an attempt to answer Stiglitz's specific criticisms of the IMF but a book setting out the substantive case both for the specific policies and also for the general policy approach that the IMF has advocated.
Who might write such a book? The most obvious candidate is the former MIT economist Stanley Fischer, who throughout the years that Stiglitz's analysis covers was the IMF's first deputy managing director—that is, the Fund's second-highest ranking official, but for most observers, the person who, far more than anyone else, actually set the direction of the organization's policies. Another is my Harvard colleague (now president of the university) Lawrence Summers, who served as the US deputy treasury secretary, and then secretary, during these years. Supporters of the IMF in the academic world, like MIT's Rudiger Dornbusch, may lack the firsthand "who said what to whom" knowledge that comes from high-level public service, but they are clear-thinking economists and powerful advocates nonetheless. In the absence of such an answer, however, Stiglitz's book will surely claim a large place on the public stage. It certainly stands as the most forceful argument that has yet been made against the IMF and its policies.

Surprisingly, Stiglitz is not consistent in his own treatment of the question of what conditions are appropriate for loans. He repeatedly castigates the IMF for imposing its officials' views over those of government officials in debtor countries. But he boasts about how the World Bank, where he worked, forced Russia to accept stringent conditions in order to receive a loan.↩

- Fill a roomy saucepan with water, bring to the boil and tip in a heaped teaspoon of salt - the water will bubble furiously. Pour in the rice, stir once and return to the boil, then turn the heat down a little so that the water is boiling steadily, but not vigorously.
- Boil uncovered, without stirring (this makes for sticky rice) for 10 minutes. Lift some out with a slotted spoon and nibble a grain or two. If they're too crunchy, cook for another minute and taste again. They should be tender but with a little bite. Drain the rice into a large sieve and rinse by pouring over a kettle of very hot water.
- Meanwhile, chop the chestnut mushrooms into smallish chunks and fry in olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat for 4 minutes until golden. Stir in garlic and fry for 1 minute.
- Drain and rinse the rice and toss it into the mushrooms with the parsley, chives and lemon zest. Try a little and add salt if necessary. The zingy, fresh flavours go really well with grilled fish.

Listen to Janelle Monae Cover David Bowie's 'Heroes' [AUDIO]
Janelle Monae is putting her own unique spin on the David Bowie classic, 'Heroes,' with a new rendition as part of Pepsi's 2014 "Now Is What You Make It" campaign.
Janelle Monae is putting her own unique spin on the David Bowie classic, 'Heroes,' with a new rendition as part of Pepsi's 2014 "Now Is What You Make It" campaign.
Janelle Monae served as the musical guest on 'Saturday Night Live' last night (Oct. 26), bringing her black and white aesthetic to the show's stage for the first time in her career. The CoverGirl rep made it a memorable, two-song stint.
Janelle Monae hit the 2013 iTunes Festival stage yesterday (Sept. 14), and, as usual, the 'Electric Lady' songstress delivered.
Last night (June 30) at the 2013 BET Awards, ladies like Nicki Minaj, Jordin Sparks, Naya Rivera, Brandy and many more stunned as they walked the red carpet in Los Angeles.
Janelle Monae is an innovator and a wildly creative artist, so if anyone were to work with Prince, it'd be her. But that's still no small feat -- it's Prince!
In her video for 'Q.U.E.E.N.,' Janelle Monae is the notorious leader of Wonderland who launched Project Q.U.E.E.N., a 21st century musical weapons program.
Petite powerhouse Janelle Monae will release her new album 'The Electric Lady' soon, but in the here and now, she's shared 'Q.U.E.E.N.,' a new track featuring Erykah Badu.
It's time once again to load up on sunscreen and bottled water and head out to the desert for the three days of musical madness known as the Coachella Music and Arts Festival. For the second year in a row, Coachella will be held on consecutive weekends with the same lineups each time. The 2013 edition of the festival takes place on April 12-14 and April 19-21 in its usual location of Indio, Calif.
First Pink. Now Janelle Monae. The pint-sized singer is the newest face of CoverGirl. Just weeks after Pink was confirmed as a rep for the brand, Monae is also getting in on the cosmetic fun and will be an easy, breezy, beautiful CoverGirl.
The 2012 MTV Movie Awards might be all about film stars, but there are always a few singers/crossover entertainers who make their way to the red carpet every summer for the event. Singers like Victoria Justice, Kat Graham, Ciara and Janelle Monae all hit the red carpet at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards (along with rapper Wiz Khalifa and party rockers LMFAO), and we want to know: Who do you think was the best dressed out of these four ladies?

- "I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs to make the minstrels weep. You may have heard of me."
- ―Kvothe to Chronicler[src]
|Kvothe, son of Arliden
Hair color
Maedre, Dulator, Shadicar,
Kvothe is the main character in the Kingkiller Chronicle. He is known by many names and titles, including Kote, Reshi, Maedre, Dulator, Shadicar, Lightfinger, Sixstring, Kvothe the Bloodless, Kvothe the Arcane, and Kvothe Kingkiller.
His name is pronounced "nearly the same as quothe," with one syllable.
Early LifeEdit
- "If this story is to be something resembling my book of deeds, we must begin at the beginning. At the heart of who I truly am. To do this, you must remember that before I was anything else, I was one of the Edema Ruh"
- ―Kvothe to Chronicler[src]
On Kvothe's first day in Tarbean his father's lute was broken while he was robbed, and beaten by street urchins, specifically one named Pike, who Kvothe later harbors a grudge against. Kvothe, afterward, intends to go home with Seth, but instead becomes lost in the city. By the time he gets back to where the Seth's wagon was, he is gone. This leads to Kvothe's three years of begging, stealing, and simply trying to survive on the streets of Tarbean.
While in Tarbean, Kvothe struggles to find food but does eventually find a well hidden shelter where three roofs meet together above Tarbean's candleworks. The hovel also has the top of the candleworks chimney running through it, providing Kvothe with warmth throughout his stay in the city. Once Kvothe sees another child being beaten and robbed from his hiding place, but does nothing to stop it as he is afraid and does not want to give away his secret place. Later as Kote, Kvothe expresses his remorse at his inaction and describes this moment as an important point in his life that lead to the man they know today.
Kvothe learns the in's and out's of being a street urchin, in most cases by hard lessons. Once, he gets the idea to go begging in the Hillside, the upperscale neighborhood of Tarbean, where he might earn better money. Instead, he is caught by a guardsmen and beaten so severely he nearly dies. He is found laying in the snow by a man dressed as the demon Encanis. The man and his partner assist Kvothe, but must leave him to engage in further festival activities. It is shortly after this that Kvothe becomes terribly ill and seeks out the help of Trapis, a man who has taken it upon himself to care for the discarded children of the city. It is from Trapis that Kvothe (and the audience) hears the story of Tehlu and Encanis. After Kvothe is well again, he becomes very fond of Trapis, often visiting to assist him and work for food.
Later in his times in Tarbean, Kvothe locates Pike, the boy that destroyed his fathers lute, and stalks him back to where he has made his home in an alley full of crates. Kvothe observes the young man and finds that he has personal belongings he seems to cherish. When the boy leaves his shelter, Kvothe steals down into it and destroys everything. He is caught by Pike, but escapes. Afterward, Kvothe knows they will be enemies, so does his best to avoid places they might meet each other, this includes the Docksides of Tarbean.
After Kvothe's encounter with Pike, he hears of the storyteller Skarpi, who tells stories in The Half Mast, a bar in Dockside. It is rumored Skarpi has an open wager to any person who can request a story he does not know. Kvothe wishes to hear the story of Lanre, but is also wary of going to Dockside. He finally decides to go and requests the story of Lanre. After Skarpi tells the story, Kvothe has a short meeting with him where he agrees to return the following night. Kvothe arrives late to the meeting and comes in during the story of Myr Tariniel. Shortly thereafter Skarpi is arrested for blasphemy, however during his arrest Skarpi calls the name of Kvothe, and tells him to run. After this occurance Kvothe decides to leave Tarbean, and we do not hear from Skarpi again in the story. It does, however, seem Skarpi will play a role later, as he was somehow instrumental in the meeting of Chronicler and Kote in the frame story.
Later, Kvothe sells all his possesions, including his book Rhetoric and Logic, which was a gift from Abenthy. He does, however, get a reciept for the book so he might purchase it back someday. After this, he bids farewell to Trapis and secures himself a place on a caravan lead by Roent. While traveling in the caravan he met Denna for the first time, but must leave her behind when they reach the University.
The University Edit
- "The University! I had come to think of it in the same way most children think of the Fae court, a mythical place reserved for dreaming about. A school the size of a small town. Ten times ten thousand books. People who would know all the answers to any question I ever asked."
- ―Kvothe to Chronicler[src]
Kvothe was accepted into the University, and entered the Arcanum within three days. In his time at the University, he made friends with Wilem, Simmon, Fela, and Manet in particular. He was banned from the Archives and feuded with a young noble named Ambrose. He was reunited with Denna, he visited Trebon in search of the Chandrian, was raised to Re'lar, and was brought up against the iron law.
First Term (Spring Term)Edit
Kvothe famously gains admission to the University under virtually unheard-of circumstances, at an extremely young age (fifteen years old) and with the University paying him to attend, rather than having to pay tuition as per usual. He meets Simmon , Wilem, Manet, and Sovoy immediately, and gets a bunk in Mews. He then heads to the Archives, where he has his first run-in with Ambrose Jakis, who will not allow him admission to the Archives because he has not yet had his name entered in "the book."
Kvothe's first class is Principles of Sympathy with Master Hemme, a course far below the knowledge he already possesses as a result of his studies with Abenthy. At the end of the class, he tells Hemme as much, and is summarily dismissed. Afterwards he returns to the Archives, meets Fela, is admitted to Tomes, and discovers that even the University Archives does not have much information readily available on the Chandrian or the Amyr. The following day, Hemme attempts to embarass Kvothe by having him teach the class for the day. Kvothe elects to lecture about the three basic laws of sympathy, and turns the embarassment back upon Hemme, as well as giving him a "sympathetic hot foot" without knowing that what he was doing could be considered malfeasance. That evening, he is called on the horns to face charges of unauthorized use of sympathy and malfeasance. He quickly has them replaced with reckless use of sympathy, of which he is found guilty and sentenced to three lashes. In addition, however, he is admitted to the Arcanum, having proven that he had mastered the basic principles of sympathy. Hereafter he is considered E'lir Kvothe. After the hearing, Master Kilvin instructs him to bypass the basic Artificing class in which he had enrolled and instead report directly to him in his workshop.
Ever the showman, Kvothe takes nahlrout before his whipping the next day, which helps dull his pain, keep him alert, and stops him from bleeding under the lash. He also removes his shirt, though that is really done to save a shirt he cannot afford to replace as much as it is to show off. He does not cry out or collapse, and leaves the courtyard under his own power to head to the Medica. Master Arwyl realizes after a few minutes that Kvothe has taken nahlrout, and discovers that Kvothe has some basic physiker skills. Mola arrives to stitch him up, and she and Kvothe meet for the first time. Arwyl invites him to study at the Medica.
Kvothe goes to the Archives again, now able to access the Stacks as a member of the Arcanum. However, Ambrose tricks him into taking a candle in, which gets him banned from the Archives by Master Lorren.
Later, Kvothe hears some of Master Elodin's history, and seeks him out to ask about studying Naming. Elodin toys with him a bit, then takes him to Haven to show him what the hazards of studying Naming can be. Here Elodin instructs Kvothe to jump off the roof, which he does, thinking Elodin will stop him from falling by calling the wind. Elodin does not, and instead tells Kvothe that he is too impulsive and rash to study Naming. Kvothe decides to focus on Artificing.
Kvothe begins to spreading rumors about himself to augment those already being told, and his reputation begins to spread. His feud with Ambrose develops into an ongoing enmity. He finishes the term by focusing on studying in the Medica and the Fishery most aggressively.
Second Term (Summer term)Edit
In order to pay tuition for his second term, Kvothe seeks out a gaelet and is directed to Devi, who gives him the first of several loans he will eventually take from her. She uses her clients' blood as collateral if they have nothing of value to put up, which Kvothe resists at first but eventually agrees to. He purchases his first lute since his father's was broken in Tarbean.
Kvothe is allowed to study sygaldry under Kilvin's giller Cammar, which takes him seven days rather than the month or even whole term that most students spend. He achieves this largely by setting all one hundred ninety seven runes to a song, which he is able to reference mentally with ease. He is then apprenticed to Manet.
In addition to Artificing, his studies include the Medica, Mathematics, and advanced sympathy with Elxa Dal. His schedule eventually begins to wear on him and around the fifth span he begins to burn out. He remains undefeated in sympathetic dueling, but Wilem and Simmon speak to Kilvin and have him banned from working extra hours in the shop due to his exhaustion.
With a spot of extra time in his schedule, Kvothe decides to look into playing at the Eolian. While practicing in a quiet secluded courtyard, he gradually befriends a timid young girl who lives beneath the University in a network of tunnels and caverns she calls "the Underthing." Kvothe names her Auri and generally keeps their relationship and meetings secret. Willem and Simmon accompany Kvothe to the Eolian when he decides to try for his talent pipes. He plays "The Lay of Sir Savien Traliard", a very difficult song which requires a female accompaniment. He hopes that amongst the talented performers in the Eolian, one will step up and sing the harmony when the time comes. One does after a tense moment of hesitation, and the song goes wonderfully, despite (or partly because of) the fact that a string breaks on his lute during the performance. He wins his talent pipes, figures out that Ambrose used sympathy to break his lute string (giving himself binder's chills in the process and leaving as soon as the performance was over), and discovers after much searching that Denna was the woman to step in and sing the Aloine harmony in the song. She is at the Eolian with Sovoy, going by the name of Dianne.
During admissions week, he makes an arrangement to be a house musician at the Horse and Four. Here, Kvothe and Count Threpe write "Jackass, Jackass" and perform it at the Eolian. Kvothe buys back his copy of Rhetoric and Logic from Master Lorren, and tries unsuccessfully to get his ban from the Archives rescinded. Ambrose charges Kvothe with Conduct Unbecoming a Member of the Arcanum because of the song, however the Masters replace the charge with Undignified Mischief. Three days later, the Hourse and Four is sold to a new owner who tells Kvothe that he is no longer needed. It seems that Ambrose has arranged for the purchase, and also vaguely threatened all of the reputable inns saying hiring Kvothe would cause a lot of trouble. Anker, partly because he needs a musician and partly just to thumb his nose at Ambrose, takes Kvothe in, giving him a small room and access to meals when he is around in exchange for playing four nights a span.
Kvothe finishes the term "not quite sixteen" years old.
Third Term (Fall Term)Edit
Kvothe limits himself to three fields of study, choosing Advanced Sympathy, a shift in the Medica, and his apprenticeship under Manet.
Denna returns to town, and finds Kvothe at Anker's. They go for a six-hour walk, and the next day she vanishes again, leaving her bill unpaid at the Oaken Oar, where she had been using the name Dinnah.
Kvothe graduates his apprenticeship with Manet by making his customized bulls-eye sympathy lamp, and gets Manet to accidentally reveal that there is a secret way into the Archives.
Denna returns, and meets Simmon and Wilem at the Eolian. They spend the evening in one another's company, and make plans to meet the following day.
The next morning, Kvothe saves Fela from a bone-tar fire in the Fishery and misses his appointment with Denna. He is so poor he cannot even afford to replace the clothes damaged in the fire until some of his work at the Fishery sells, and then he can only buy some used boots. He sees Fela at the Eolian and she gives him a fine new cloak as partial thanks for saving her from the fire. She also declares herself indebted to him. He briefly spots Denna leaving, and worries that she will think he spurned her for Fela, but doesn't chase her.
Two thugs armed with a "finder" (a sympathetic compass made from a hair and used to find the person the hair came from) hunt Kvothe down in an alley on the 28th day of the month (presumably the fifth month of the year) in Imre and attempt to kill him. He manages to use sympathy to blind and stun them long enough to escape, adding to his reputation (they believe he called down fire and lighting upon them). Later, crawling into his rooms through the window, he finds a note Denna left for him wedged into the window several days prior. In it she hints at having met someone interesting about whom she wishes to speak to Kvothe. He takes steps to confound the "finder" in case someone else comes after him and takes a room in an inn near the docks.
The following day, he hears about a wedding near Trebon where it sounds as though the Chandrian appeared and killed everyone. He borrows more money from Devi, buys a horse, and rides sixty miles in half a day to reach the town, where he comes across a tinker to whom he trades away the horse for a loden-stone and various sundry items. At the local inn, he inquires about the wedding, hoping to hear some concrete information about the Chandrian, and discovers that there was one survivor, slightly injured, who turns out to be Denna.
The two of them leave the inn and head towards the Mauthen Farm to see if Denna can find any of her things from before she was knocked unconscious. She tells him about her eccentric potential patron, and Kvothe nicknames him Master Ash. They look around the farm, and Denna tells Kvothe that she saw blue flame during the chaos. What wood remains is rottted, and the iron pump-handle is rusted through. Kvothe tells Denna that he thinks the Chandrian were there. She agrees after some consideration. Denna wants to go looking for Master Ash, so they head into the woods to explore. Eventually they run across Skoivan Schiemmelpfenneg (Schiem), a swineherd with whom they share dinner and hear about a local legend describing something odd that creates blue flame in the bluffs to the north. They head that direction and camp at the top of another hill with a good view of the bluffs, littered with a handful of greystones. Kvothe theorizes that Mauthen dug up an artifact of some kind when building his house, and that seeing it is what got the wedding party killed. They see the blue flame to the north before bedding down for the night.
A draccus wakes them in the middle of the night, as it comes to the hilltop attracted by their fire. It destroys the fire and then eventually leaves in the early morning. Kvothe and Denna make it to the place in the bluffs where they saw a small plume of smoke rising, and find a small (and very strange) encampment. The draccus shows up and they flee into a small cave, where Kvothe figures out that it is a grove of denner trees being cultivated to make ophalum, but not before Denna chews a large amount of it, thinking it to be maple candy. Kvothe tries to help treat her for the drug's effects, but hasn't much to work with. They collect all the ophalum they can find, hoping to sell it back in Imre or the University. In the meantime, he realizes that the draccus is addicted to the resin of the Denner trees and has become dangerous. They decide to try to overdose it with some of the resin. They ball up two thirds of the resin they found and bait the draccus with a fire, then hide to wait for it to arrive. It does so, takes the bait, and starts to fall asleep, but fires from Trebon's harvest festival attract its attention and it races maniacally towards the town. Kvothe leaves Denna, who has passed out from the ophalum by now, and races after it, managing to save part of the town from fire with some slapdash sygaldry and sympathy, and kills the draccus by collapsing the iron wheel from a church onto it in the same manner. However this also uses up the last of the ophalum. Afterward, he is knocked unconscious.
When Kvothe awakens, the townsfolk hold him in some awe, not understanding at all what has happened. They tell him that they have "disposed of the demon" in the proper manner, and Kvothe plays on their awe to try to gather further information about what happened at the wedding. Only one person in town, Nina, has anything useful to say, telling him that she saw the artifact the Mauthens dug up, and that it was a vase or urn with drawings on it. When she describes what she remembered, Kvothe realizes the drawings were of the Chandrian. She is terrified, and Kvothe gives her a bauble that he claims he has charmed to protect her. He then leaves to return to the University, never having found Denna since the night the Draccus died.
Upon his return, Ambrose steals Kvothe's lute out of its case while he isn't looking. While toying with it to tease Kvothe, he carelessly breaks it. Kvothe inadvertently calls the Name of the wind and buffets Ambrose with it, possibly breaking his arm. Kvothe then falls into a largely insensible state. Elodin eventually finds him and whispers something that helps him start to mend psychologically.
Ambrose and Kvothe are both brought on the horns. Ambrose is found guilty of stealing and destroying Kvothe's lute and required to pay for its replacement. Kvothe is found guilty of malfeasance and sentenced to six lashes and expulsion, but his expulsion is repealed at Elodin's objection. Kvothe is also raised to Re'lar with Elodin as his sponsor on the fifth of Fallow.
It's during this time that Auri begins to show Kvothe around the Underthing.
Kvothe's lashing proceeds in much the same way as his first and he purchases a new lute and some other small things with Ambrose's money.
Auri eventually leads Kvothe to a passage that he discovers will allow him to sneak into the Archives. He then convinces Fela to show him around a bit in secret.
Fourth TermEdit
Kvothe is given a letter from the Maer allowing his tuition to be paid by him, His Arrowcatch has been renamed the Bloodless by Master Elodin. Since he created the schema Kvothe gets a royalty payment on each Bloodless sold. In the time he was away with the Maer, he accumulated a large sum of money. He also makes a deal with the bursor's office in the university to split tuition fees exceeding 10 talents. No longer in need of working hard for his money he takes a large number of classes, and fails some of them.
Maer AlveronEdit
After being arrested and tried for his unintentional attack against Ambrose and calling the name of the wind, Kvothe's friends suggest that he skip the next term or be faced with an astronomically high tuition. Fortuitously, Count Threpe finds that the Maer Alveron, the second most powerful noble in Vintas after the King of Vintas, seeks a discrete musician to help him with an unnamed task. Kvothe goes to Vintas, and presents himself to the Maer Alveron after significant (and largely undescribed) troubles.
The Maer puts Kvothe in private rooms, both to keep an eye on him and to take time to judge him. It is during this time that Kvothe meets Bredon and they play tak together, while Bredon teaches Kvothe the finer points of Vintas court etiquette. During one of the meetings with the Maer, Kvothe is tasked to fetch the Maer's medicine from the court arcanist, Caudicus. The arcanist, not knowing that Kvothe is from the University, prepares the medicine in front of Kvothe, who deduces that the arcanist is poisoning the Maer with lead. Kvothe informs the Maer and helps the Maer recover from the poison, but Caudicus escapes.
Kvothe finds that Denna is in Severen with her patron, Master Ash. They spend time together and the Maer reveals to Kvothe the reason he asked Count Threpe for help: the Maer needs a wife, and the only suitable one is Meluan Lackless, a beautiful noblewoman of a very old Vintas family. Kvothe, spending time with Denna, uses his experiences to write songs and letters to Lackless as if he was writing to Denna. The Maer is successful at beginning his courtship with Lackless, just when Denna presents the song she had been writing with Master Ash to Kvothe. The song is very much like the one Arliden wrote about Lanre, and trying to dissuade her from continuing the song, Kvothe and Denna have a heated argument.
The Maer, sending for Kvothe, asks him to lead a small band of mercenaries to ambush and destroy a group of bandits plaguing the Eld, an old forest in Vintas, who had been attacking tax collectors. Kvothe suspects that the Maer's real reason for sending him away was to put distance between Kvothe and the rest of the court. On the trip, Kvothe becomes friends with one of the mercenaries, Tempi, an Adem mercenary, and begins to learn the Adem's languages, customs, and fighting philosophy.
Kvothe and his team discover the enemy encampment during a fierce thunderstorm, made up of dozens of bandits. Marten, Tempi, and Kvothe elect for a fighting retreat when accidentally Dedan alerts the enemy camp to their presence. During the fight, Kvothe uses sympathy, using a dead bandit's body as a link, to kill several bandits. When their leader, an armored man, appears immune to Marten's arrows, Kvothe uses a nearby tree to establish a link with a tree in the center of the enemy camp and turn it into a lightning rod. With the majority of the bandits killed or escaped and the leader nowhere to be found, Kvothe and his team find the missing tax money and begin their trek back to Severen.
The Faen RealmEdit
On the way back from the enemy camp, his group come upon the Felurian, a fatally seductive fae creature. Her ability entrances Dedan, but he is stopped from chasing her by Hespe. Kvothe willingly follows her all the way into fae, leaving his companions behind. Catching her, Kvothe has his first sexual experience. Singing to her afterwards, he realizes the danger he is in and, in a burst of clarity, sings her name as well as the name of the wind. Intentionally using his newly-lost virginity and intentionally understating the Felurian's sexual prowess during a song (explaining it as a lack of relative comparative experience), they come to an agreement that if she frees him, he will write songs about her beauty and sexual prowess. They also agree that Kvothe will eventually have to return and be Felurian's lover until he dies.
She teaches Kvothe many things, including information about the Creation War, the moon, and the shaper who stole it. The Felurian desires to create Kvothe a cloak called a Shaed, which helps him hide better. She allows him to follow her into the fae and collect the darkness she must weave together, however, when it comes to the actual creation of the cloak, she sends Kvothe away. During this time Kvothe explores some of the areas of the fae surrounding Felurian's twilight glade. There he encounters the Cthaeh. His meeting with the Cthaeh is strange, and he learns that the leader of the bandits he recently fought was actually Cinder, of the Chandrian. He also learns that Denna often thinks of him while in distress, and the Cthaeh, chides Kvothe for his relationship with Felurian, whilst his real love interest is being harmed at the hands of her patron in the Four Corners.
After this meeting, Felurian suspects he met the creature and tries to console him. Shortly afterward he leaves the Fae and meets up again with his comrades who say he has been missing for three days.
On their return to Severen, Tempi is confronted by other Adem soldiers and is told that he faces potential disciplinary measures for having taught his Ketan to Kvothe, a barbarian.
Kvothe elects to journey with Tempi to Haert, a city in Ademre. Upon arriving there, he learns that Shehyn, the leader of the Latantha school, has decided to test whether Kvothe is "of the Lethani."
Kvothe is assigned Vashet, an experienced Adem warrior, as an instructor. Kvothe learns that to fail in his test would mean, at the very least, mutilation by the Adem to ensure the secracy of the Ketan. Eventually, Kvothe is tested by having to retrieve an item from a tree hung with swords; he calls the name of the wind to calm the blades and returns having cut his palm, showing stillness, silence, and a willingness to bleed for the school. He is given the name Maedre, and the ancient sword, Saicere, which Kvothe calls Caesura. Eventually, Kvothe is accepted as being capable of learning and is considered a student of the Latantha school, and is thus free to stay and study or to go. Having unfulfilled business with Maer Alveron, he elects to leave.
The Present Edit
Kvothe goes by the name Kote in the village of Newarre, some years later. He is apparently hiding his true identity and living as the inkeeper of the Waystone Inn with his companion Bast, a fae creature who he is seemingly mentoring.
It is Bast who slipped the rumor that Kote was Kvothe and ultimately drew the attention of Chronicler who is now writing the life story of Kvothe. Kote is a man different from Kvothe, as he seemingly cannot use sympathy as he once did. He also does not seem to posses his Adem blade, and instead only has a mounted blade named Folly, for which Bast shows great distaste. He also has yet to be observed with his shaed in the frame story. Kote does however show some fighting ability, when he slays a group of Scrael that have invaded the surrounding areas of Newarre.
Kote also is the owner of a thrice locked chest, the contents of which are unknown. He once asks Bast how he would open it if he had to, and his student cannot think of an answer.
Before Chronicler arrived to scribe the story of Kvothe, Kote had attempted to write an autobiography, but he ultimately became frustrated with project and put it aside. Bast is wary of broaching this subject with Kote as he is afraid to set him back and his ultimate desire seems to be to return Kote to his normal self.
Kote is currently on the second day of this three day biography.
The word kote is inferred to be Siaru for disaster. In Ch.67, of Name of the Wind, Kilvin says 'Chan Vaen edan Kote', to which Kvothe says '"Seven years... I don't know Kote." Kilvin then tells him that it means 'Expect disaster every seven years'.
Magwyn names Kvothe 'Maedre' which may be an anagram for Ademre and have a larger significance than originally thought. This would explain the shock of Vashet during the naming. This may also simply be a change Kvothe made as a place holder for the name given him. Just as he avoids the names of the Chandrian in his storytelling, he may also be giving an obvious anagram as this placeholder.
It is possible that Kvothe is the nephew of Meluan Lackless. Meluan has an intense hatred towards the Edema Ruh because her sister ran off with one. In the Name of the Wind we learn that Kvothe's mother was a noble who ran away with his father. Further evidence to suggest this would be that Kvothe is struck by the resemblance of Meluan to someone he knows. However, Kvothe cannot put his finger on who he is so reminded of.
Poem of the Rings Kvothe has or wears at some point or another:
On his first hand he wore rings of stone,
Iron, amber, wood and bone.
There were rings unseen on his second hand.
One was blood in a flowing band.
One of air all whisper thin,
And the ring of ice had a flaw within.
Full faintly shone the ring of flame,
and the final ring was without name.
The ring of amber is known to be a storytelling invention. The ring of wood may be either the ring Auri gives him, or the ring Meluan Lackless sends to him. The ring of bone is most likely Stapes' blood-debt ring. The rings on the second hand suggest that Kvothe learns and masters the names of blood, wind, ice(perhaps more likely water), and fire. Furthermore, the ring without a name is suspected to be copper, a substance which cannot be named.
Personality Edit
Kvothe is exceptionally intelligent, even as a very young boy. He is quick-witted, sharp-tongued and clever, and a talented musician. From a myriad teachers he learns the skills of singing, acting, playing the lute, woodcraft, law, Sympathy, begging, thieving, and seduction. He is very curious and often gets himself into trouble. He also has a knack for learning languages, highlighting Adem which he became proficient in less than 3 months. He is also shown to be quite adept at guessing the true names of things.
Relationships Edit
Denna Edit
- "She was unlike anyone I have ever met"
- ―Kvothe[src]
Denna is the primary romantic interest for Kvothe in the Chronicle. They first meet in Roent's caravan, and are later reunited in the Eolian, where Denna joins Kvothe as the Aloine to his Savien during the song The Lay of Sir Savien. Kvothe is smitten with Denna – everything from her face to her voice –and his mad quest to keep close to her without clinging too tightly is a recurring theme throughout the books.
Fela Edit
Fela, a scriv, among other things, is one of Kvothe's first female friends at the University. Kvothe saved Fela from a fire in the Fishery and Fela developed romantic feelings for Kvothe, which Kvothe did not reciprocate. Fela gives him a fine cloak as a form of thanks for his saving her, and often does favors for Kvothe when he needs more assistance than Willem and Simmon can provide. During Kvothe's absence from the University, Fela enters into a romantic relationship with Sim.
Mola Edit
Mola is an 'the El'the working underneath Master Arwyl. She treats Kvothe after his first whipping, and they eventually become friends. Kvothe grows trusting of Mola, and eventually asks her to accompany him to inspect Auri after the fire in the Fishery. She agrees and apparently keeps his secret.
Devi Edit
At first, Devi is merely Kvothe's gaelet, but the two eventually form a friendship of sorts, albeit a tempestuous one. She often forces Kvothe to borrow more money than he needs so as to keep him her debtor, though they are known to often trade books and information back and forth. She once offered Kvothe sexual favors in return for him telling her the secret way into the archives, but he refused, mostly because he does not wish to expose Auri to anyone. Kvothe also suspects Devi trades his blood to Ambrose when he is being magically attacked during the story. They have a duel of sympathy which Kvothe loses, much to his surprise. However, he ultimately discovers she did not betray him. This causes somewhat of a rift in their relationship and it seems as though they will never be close again, though they are brought back together later on.
Bast is Kvothe's apprentice and one of the Fae. While Chronicler records Kvothe's story, Bast urges Chronicler to get his master to remember himself and become his old self again. It is unclear for what reasons Bast truly desires this, but he proves himself to be an adversary of anyone who might not work toward his desires.
A Fae creature whose power lies in seduction, Felurian is responsible for teaching Kvothe the arts of the lover as well as taking his virginity. Felurian made Kvothe's Shaed and he is in agreement with her to eventually return to the Fae and be her lover.
One of his two best friends at the University, Simmon is a loyal friend with a love for Alchemy. Kvothe often thinks fondly of Sim and his character has shown to be very honest.
Wilem is another of Kvothe's best friends at the University. They often spend time playing corners and drinking together.

Skin grafting can be an effective treatment for a large, difficult-to-heal venous skin ulcer. A skin graft stimulates healing by triggering skin cell growth in the wound site. Various types of tissue are used for skin grafting, including:
If you have a long-standing venous skin ulcer, discuss skin grafting with your doctor. Depending on your condition, you may be a candidate for this type of treatment. But there are no guarantees that skin grafting will work for you.
