House mice are the most common breed of mouse in the United States and can enter homes through holes as small as a dime. Once inside a house, they travel through small cracks, seeking food and leaving droppings that spread germs. House mice carry other pests such as fleas, lice, mites, and ticks.
Deer mice typically live outside in hollow logs or debris piles, but will also enter homes and stay in garages, attics, and small crawlspaces. They carry a dangerous disease called Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), which is spread through their carcasses or by inhaling urine droplets of said carcasses.
Norway rats typically live outdoors in woodpiles and fields found in farmland, but have adapted to more urban areas where they seek out sewers and areas with garbage. They enter homes by locating and gnawing or digging at entryways as small as a nickel. Once they have entered a home, they will damage property with their gnawing teeth and spread disease through their droppings as they seek out food.
Roof rats typically live in the upper levels of homes and businesses, but will also live under buildings. Despite having poor vision, they excel in hearing, touch, taste, and smell and will use these heightened senses to seek out any food they can find. They will eat anything they can find and will chew through whatever they can to reach food. Rats are commonly seen as spreaders of disease due to the Bubonic Plague, also known as the Black Death, which killed 25 million people, almost 1/3rd of Europe's population, during the 14th century. Roof rats are the species in question that spread the plague through the ticks on their bodies, and they still spread similar diseases today.

Caching Driver¶
CodeIgniter features wrappers around some of the most popular forms of fast and dynamic caching. All but file-based caching require specific server requirements, and a Fatal Exception will be thrown if server requirements are not met.
Example Usage¶
The following example shows a common usage pattern within your controllers.
if (! $foo = cache('foo'))
{
echo 'Saving to the cache!<br />';
$foo = 'foobarbaz!';
// Save into the cache for 5 minutes
cache()->save('foo', $foo, 300);
}
echo $foo;
You can grab an instance of the cache engine directly through the Services class:
$cache = \Config\Services::cache();
$foo = $cache->get('foo');
Configuring the Cache¶
All configuration for the cache engine is done in app/Config/Cache.php. In that file, the following items are available.
$handler
The is the name of the handler that should be used as the primary handler when starting up the engine. Available names are: dummy, file, memcached, redis, predis, wincache.
$backupHandler
In the case that the first choice $handler is not available, this is the next cache handler to load. This is commonly the file handler since the file system is always available, but may not fit more complex, multi-server setups.
$prefix
If you have more than one application using the same cache storage, you can add a custom prefix string here that is prepended to all key names.
$file
This is an array of settings specific to the File
handler to determine how it should save the cache files.
$memcached
This is an array of servers that will be used when using the Memcache(d)
handler.
$redis
The settings for the Redis server that you wish to use when using the Redis
and Predis
handler.
Class Reference¶
-
isSupported
()¶ Returns: true
if supported,false
if notReturn type: bool
-
get($key): mixed
Parameters: - $key (string) – Cache item name
Returns: Item value or
null
if not foundReturn type: mixed
This method will attempt to fetch an item from the cache store. If the item does not exist, the method will return NULL.
Example:
$foo = $cache->get('my_cached_item');
-
remember
(string $key, int $ttl, Closure $callback)¶ Parameters: - $key (string) – Cache item name
- $ttl (int) – Time to live in seconds
- $callback (Closure) – Callback to invoke when the cache item returns null
Returns: The value of the cache item
Return type: mixed
Gets an item from the cache. If
null
was returned, this will invoke the callback and save the result. Either way, this will return the value.
-
save
(string $key, $data[, int $ttl = 60[, $raw = false]])¶ Parameters: - $key (string) – Cache item name
- $data (mixed) – the data to save
- $ttl (int) – Time To Live, in seconds (default 60)
- $raw (bool) – Whether to store the raw value
Returns: true
on success,false
on failureReturn type: bool
This method will save an item to the cache store. If saving fails, the method will return
false
.Example:
$cache->save('cache_item_id', 'data_to_cache');
Note
The $raw
parameter is only utilized by Memcache,
in order to allow usage of increment()
and decrement()
.
-
delete($key): bool
Parameters: - $key (string) – name of cached item
Returns: true
on success,false
on failureReturn type: bool
This method will delete a specific item from the cache store. If item deletion fails, the method will return FALSE.
Example:
$cache->delete('cache_item_id');
-
increment($key[, $offset = 1]): mixed
Parameters: - $key (string) – Cache ID
- $offset (int) – Step/value to add
Returns: New value on success,
false
on failureReturn type: mixed
Performs atomic incrementation of a raw stored value.
Example:
// 'iterator' has a value of 2 $cache->increment('iterator'); // 'iterator' is now 3 $cache->increment('iterator', 3); // 'iterator' is now 6
-
decrement($key[, $offset = 1]): mixed
Parameters: - $key (string) – Cache ID
- $offset (int) – Step/value to reduce by
Returns: New value on success,
false
on failureReturn type: mixed
Performs atomic decrementation of a raw stored value.
Example:
// 'iterator' has a value of 6 $cache->decrement('iterator'); // 'iterator' is now 5 $cache->decrement('iterator', 2); // 'iterator' is now 3
-
clean
()¶ Returns: true
on success,false
on failureReturn type: bool This method will ‘clean’ the entire cache. If the deletion of the cache files fails, the method will return FALSE.
Example:
$cache->clean();
-
getCacheInfo
()¶ Returns: Information on the entire cache database Return type: mixed This method will return information on the entire cache.
Example:
var_dump($cache->getCacheInfo());
Note
The information returned and the structure of the data is dependent on which adapter is being used.
-
getMetadata
(string $key)¶ Parameters: - $key (string) – Cache item name
Returns: Metadata for the cached item
Return type: mixed
This method will return detailed information on a specific item in the cache.
Example:
var_dump($cache->getMetadata('my_cached_item'));
Note
The information returned and the structure of the data is dependent on which adapter is being used.
Drivers¶
File-based Caching¶
Unlike caching from the Output Class, the driver file-based caching allows for pieces of view files to be cached. Use this with care, and make sure to benchmark your application, as a point can come where disk I/O will negate positive gains by caching. This requires a cache directory to be really writable by the application.
Memcached Caching¶
Memcached servers can be specified in the cache configuration file. Available options are:
public $memcached = [
'host' => '<IP_ADDRESS>',
'port' => 11211,
'weight' => 1,
'raw' => false,
];
For more information on Memcached, please see https://www.php.net/memcached.
WinCache Caching¶
Under Windows, you can also utilize the WinCache driver.
For more information on WinCache, please see https://www.php.net/wincache.
Redis Caching¶
Redis is an in-memory key-value store which can operate in LRU cache mode. To use it, you need Redis server and phpredis PHP extension.
Config options to connect to redis server stored in the cache configuration file. Available options are:
public $redis = [
'host' => '<IP_ADDRESS>',
'password' => null,
'port' => 6379,
'timeout' => 0,
'database' => 0,
];
For more information on Redis, please see https://redis.io.
Predis Caching¶
Predis is a flexible and feature-complete PHP client library for the Redis key-value store. To use it, from the command line inside your project root:
composer require predis/predis
For more information on Redis, please see https://github.com/nrk/predis.
Dummy Cache¶
This is a caching backend that will always ‘miss.’ It stores no data, but lets you keep your caching code in place in environments that don’t support your chosen cache.

Robot Arm User Interface
In my Robotics Engineering course, I learned a lot of skills of writing web servers with Python, Node.js, and mqtt, etc. I wrote lots of web programs such as monopoly, controlling LED on Raspberry Pi extension board using web servers. Then, I deployed thn onto the cloud using Firebase. Combining these skills, I was able to build a MATLAB App user interface that allow anybody in the world to control a simulated robot arm online. Given joint angle degrees using either the slide bar or text field and then click Go, the 3D model of the robot arm will move to the correct position. Similarly, given a 3-dimensional coordinate, the system can use inverse kinematics to calculate the correct joint angles to achieve such pose and move the simulated arm to the correct position.
Controlling the Actual Tank
The robot tank shown in the picture is completely assembled by myself one piece at a time. The robot was controlled by a Raspberry Pi 4 inside the tank body. By using MQTT server, I was able to achieve mutual communications between the tank and my MATLAB user interface. Therefore, my robot arm simulation can control the actual tank. Notice the five buttons on the top left corner of the UI? They can control the motion of the tank! The coolest part is that we can achieve all the functions that mentioned in the simulation section, but this time, the actual robot moves together with the 3D model!

| 058:003 Khan | : |
And those who make unlawful to them (their wives) (by Az-Zihar ) and wish to free themselves from what they uttered, (the penalty) in that case (is) the freeing of a slave before they touch each other. That is an admonition to you (so that you may not return to such an ill thing). And Allah is All-Aware of what you do. |
| 058:003 Maulana | : |
And those who put away their wives by calling them their mothers, then go back on that which they said, must free a captive before they touch one another. To this you are exhorted; and Allah is Aware of what you do. |
| 058:003 Pickthal | : |
Those who put away their wives (by saying they are as their mothers) and afterward would go back on that which they have said, (the penalty) in that case (is) the freeing of a slave before they touch one another.  This is to enlighten you. GOD is Cognizant of everything you do. |
| 058:003 Sarwar | : |
Those who renounce their wives by calling them mothers and then change their minds about what they have said will have to set free a slave as a ransom and only then will their carnal relations be lawful. This is what you have been commanded.  This is what you are admonished with. And ALLAH is Well-Aware of what you do. |
| 058:003 Yusufali | : |
But those who divorce their wives by Zihar, then wish to go back on the words they uttered,- (It is ordained that such a one) should free a slave before they touch each other: Thus are ye admonished to perform: and Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do. |

I have a related problem, I`ve installed the last version of gecode in 2
different machines and tried to use it in a project that I`ve been
developing on gecode 2.0 some months ago. In the first machine it works
fine, in the second one I get a lot of "undefined references" trying to use
element, and post. It happens either installing it in /usr/ or just using
the compiled libs, either with gcc 4.1 or gcc 4.3, either with gist or
without gist. (your examples works fine, but I never tried to compile them
by myself ).
could it be a problem of my O.S?
Cheers.

After my expression why Apple products is not my cup of tea, let’s talk more about my favorite OS, the almighty Android.
Million thanks to the friend that introduced me my first pure Android device, the Nexus 4. Guess that was part of the reason I’m so into open-source idea in everything.
Ultimate customization
It’s cool for the manufacturer to guess my preference and design the system for me. Really convenient and thoughtful way to delivering a product. But they can’t always be right in everything. That’s why the room of customization is so important here. You are welcome to offer your best designed system to me and it would be great if I can tweak it a little more the way I like. In Android, you own your phone almost 100% top to bottom.
Change that battery icon, show internet speed at top bar, decide multiple gesture effect on the screen, customize every single buttons on the phone and a lot more. Genuinely adapting a phone to the master himself.
What? Who got the time to waste on stuffs like that? Well, iPhone design for people who don’t value customization that much. In fact, swapping a wallpaper is considered a customization too.
Lots of community support.
Amazing power of community project can already been witnessed from various aspects. For example, innovative ideas could be realised through crowdfund ing platform like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, open-source project repositry site Github has been the best birth bed for cool freewares.
Android being one of the largest open-source projects and having probably the most active community, it is capable of generating countless ideas on the improvement and new features for for this mobile operating system.
The ability of gathering community intellegence and effort also bring much edgy functions like the split screen and off screen gesture to real application while no other OS capable of doing so.
Huge community= Rapid development, more support, great ideas, best execution.
至今仍然很感谢带我进入安卓世界的那位朋友，让我也发现原来自己是那么深爱具有开源特性的项目。继上次讨论过为什么不喜欢苹果的专制化之后，来吹一波安卓的伟大吧！
客制化就是唯一核心
大量的客制化选项是安卓最大的特色之一，从改变电池显示图形到每个物理按钮的实际作用，几乎没有一样东西是不能根据个人喜好而改变的。
当然这不是说用安卓就一定要费尽心思去改制一切，原生出产的设置也可以是很棒的，完全不用改变一草一木也可很好的使用。只是在绝佳的原厂设置之下，再容许用户加上个人调整，最适合自己的绝佳手机不就诞生了吗？
强大的社区
任何开源项目背后都有社区团队在支撑，而安卓身为可能是全球最受欢迎最多人参与的开源项目之一，所产生的力量更是不容小觑的。
安卓通过把集思广益最大化的效应实现了一个又一个站在业界前端技术，从早期的黑屏手势功能到后期的同屏双视窗，具有开创性的点子更是不断的被同行们所借鉴。
强大的社区意味着更高频率的开发，更多技术支持，更完善的执行能力。
当然还有很多场外因素巩固我对安卓的支持，比如众多的竞争产生出来的亲民价格。愿这么棒的操作系统继续蓬勃发展下去！

published in the Mountain Astrologer Magazine
When we see a rosebud, we know that contained within it is the promise of an emergent flower. Encased in the bud, this future blossom is not fully formed; it is still needing development and growth, awaiting the moment when it will burst into the light.
As the bud slowly swells with the developing flower, we anticipate the bloom and the expression of beauty that has been concealed from sight. When the bud reaches maturity, it opens; the hidden flower expands into full view, its petals stretching to the outside air.
We know that nature provides the perfect timing for the bud to blossom. With the right conditions of nourishment, temperature, and sunlight, the flowering plant can’t help but respond. We observe, in this characteristic ritual, the outward expression of what was contained within the bud, and we’re invited to appreciate the public stage of development in the natural growth cycle.
As nature exhibits in the rosebud’s unfolding, so does astrology provide the perfect timing for our personal inner potential to bloom. But instead of temperature and sunlight combining to create the right conditions, we find the planets moving by solar arc to a special “bloom zone” in the zodiac.
The symbol of the rosebud’s opening — the blossoming and public expression of the flower — can suggest what happens when a planet or angle in the horoscope moves to the Aries Point (AP) by solar arc. The opening, the blooming, the development and revelation of the potential within, are all words and phrases that convey what happens during an AP solar arc.
The Aries Point
There is an extremely sensitive and powerful zone in the zodiac located at the 0° point of the four cardinal signs — a special area that relates to high public visibility. Actually, we could say that the Aries Point has an orb that starts at 29° mutable and ends at 1° cardinal. Planets or angles at the Aries Point in our natal chart have the potential for high visibility in life. Sometimes this can suggest fame or notoriety. The AP indicates the presence of energy insistence that pushes a planet or angle into public view.
For example, if the Ascendant in the natal chart is at the Aries Point, there is extra potential for one’s outer personality to be projected into the public arena. It may be easier for the AP Ascendant person to be visible and to get noticed. This can naturally assist the individual in moving to high levels of public recognition. Because of this, the person is often perceived as having a “big” personality. Astrologer Noel Tyl has an AP Ascendant at exactly 0° Cancer. Tyl has a large and powerfully emotive personality that is easily projected publicly. When he walks into a room, everyone feels it.
When we see Mercury at the AP in the natal chart, we know that communication skills (including writing ability) may well be recognized. There is also high public visibility suggested in areas related to the natal houses that Mercury rules or the house it occupies. Author J.R.R. Tolkien had natal Mercury at the AP in Capricorn in the super-creative 5th house in his generally accepted chart. Tolkien also had natal Saturn at 0° Libra. And isn’t it interesting that his Lord of the Rings trilogy was built upon the story’s detailed historical context and deeply defined character lineage? We see his AP Saturn and Mercury shining though the rich language he created in his powerful fantasy series.
The Aries Point offers the clear potential of enhanced visibility, both natally and during the periods when planets and angles move to the 0° cardinal zone by solar arc.
Many athletes have planets at the AP in their natal chart, including hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky (Mars), along with NFL quarterbacks Brett Favre (Mercury), Tom Brady (Venus), and Terry Bradshaw (Uranus). Bradshaw’s AP Uranus makes sense, highlighting the spontaneity, the urge for adventure, and the quick thinking needed to be a great pro quarterback. Tom Brady’s AP Venus has certainly helped him with his public appeal; he’s been named as one of the sexiest male athletes on more than one occasion. Brett Favre, whose AP Mercury at 0° Libra is conjunct Uranus (5° Libra), is noted for being a smart, intuitive signal caller.
You would naturally think that a famous athlete might have an AP Mars. But the Mars influence is not limited to highly visible athletic performance. I have a client who is a decorated Navy SEAL, and he has the natal Moon at 0° Aries. Here, we see the Mars energy working through the extremely competitive AP Moon in Aries.
Motivational speaker Tony Robbins has Jupiter at 29°57’ Sagittarius, just a few minutes from being exactly at 0° Capricorn. The AP Jupiter in late Sagittarius makes so much sense for the type of work Robbins does. You can’t help but see and feel his bold enthusiasm and positivity when he lectures.
The Aries Point offers the clear potential of enhanced visibility. This naturally applies to our natal chart through our lifetime — and it is also true during the periods when planets and angles move to the 0° cardinal zone by solar arc.
Solar Arcs
When we use solar arcs in analysis, we know that, generally, planets and angles are moved forward 1 degree per year of life.  After age 30, we need to consider the month of birth and make appropriate corrections to the timing.
For anyone who is born in March through September, the 1 year = 1 degree of solar arc timing will start to break down after 30 years, because the arc moves a bit slower. Solar arcs are based on the speed of the Sun, and the daily motion of the Sun is slower from March through September.1 With these horoscopes, we need to add one more year to make the calculation work. In other words, for a planet to move 30 degrees of solar arc, it will take 31 years. However, for someone born in October through February, arcing the natal planets forward 30 degrees will equal 30 years of life.
This is important to understand because, for prediction purposes, we like to see when the solar arc measurement is exact. Each month, there is 5 minutes of movement (5 minutes x 12 months = 60 minutes, or 1 degree). This may sound very technical, but when you use just your eyes (instead of the computer) to move the planets forward by solar arc, you will need to know this. By 62 years of life, March– September births will have accumulated only 60 degrees of movement forward by solar arc, or 62 years of life = 60 degrees of arc (it takes an extra 2 years — 1 year per every 30). Whereas the October–February births remain an even arc of 60 years of life = 60 degrees of arc.
Looking for the AP Arc
When a point in our horoscope hits the AP by solar arc, the energy of the planet or angle moving to that point blooms and is projected into public view. If we use the flower analogy — and link it to astrological timing with solar arcs — we could say that the “bud” begins to develop at 28° of the mutable signs, it swells with growth at 29° mutable, opens completely and peaks in beauty or impact at 0° cardinal, and maintains the bloom through the 1° degree cardinal point.
To calculate the age at which a planet solar arced to the AP, simply count how many degrees it would take from its natal position to reach 0° cardinal (the AP includes all four cardinal signs). If it is less than 30 degrees, there’s no need to make a correction. If it is more than 30 degrees, add an extra year if the birthday is in March through September.
Here’s an example, using just my eyes. My natal Sun is at 29° Scorpio. I know that if I add 30 degrees of arc to 29° Scorpio, my Sun would be at 29° Sagittarius. So, at 30 years of age, my Sun had reached the beginning place of the AP (29° mutable). If I add one more degree, the Sun was at 0° Capricorn, exactly on the AP when I was 31 years old.
The same holds true for any one of the angles in your chart. Example: A Midheaven of 2° Virgo would move by solar arc to the AP at age 28, because if you add 28 degrees to 2° Virgo, you get 0° Libra.
The Bloom
I was introduced to the power of solar arcs to the Aries Point through my studies with Noel Tyl. He pioneered the powerful idea that when a planet solar arcs to the AP, the potential of that planet comes forward and is projected into public view. When I heard this, I instantly went to my own chart to check it out. Using just my eyes, I moved each planet to the AP and noted my age. I was astounded! Every single time a planet hit the AP by solar arc, I had something significant happen in my life — something very prominent, very “public.”
When looking at Aries Point arcs, we obviously must also look at the whole picture in the horoscope.
As I said … astounding!
When looking at AP arcs, we obviously must also look at the whole picture in the horoscope. We should always check for strong transits or other solar arcs that can assist us in our analysis. There are numerous transits and solar arcs that will help with success — and in many cases, high achievement and visibility will occur without an AP arc.
We have lots of measurements in our astrological toolbox — adding the AP arc is very helpful. Whether this cycle produces a period of high publicity, or simply a strong emotional bloom and an embrace of special empowerment, there is undeniable development and personal growth when a planet moves to the Aries Point by solar arc.
Using the AP Arc with Clients
When I work with clients, I consistently check to see when planets will move to the AP by solar arc. I know that if I can open a client’s mind to the potential of an Aries Point “bloom” — and the ensuing potential for exposure offered by this cycle — that person is then able to create practical strategies that enhance the incredible growth opportunity. If we know that a planet will hit the 0° cardinal point — say, in three or four years — we are able to set up better conditions for success, because we are prepared to cooperate with the astrology.
I often specifically mention to clients that the “pre-bloom” time frame (planets or angles at 28° and 29° mutable by solar arc) signals the “bud phase” of a growth cycle. There is enormous background activity and inner development going on in the last few degrees of the mutable signs, much of it happening behind the scenes and hidden from view. During the bud phase, there exists an inner process whereby we gradually gather the resources necessary to build the inner strength that we need in order to feel comfortable blossoming and risking our vulnerabilities by going public.
The power and energy of the planet or angle blooms and becomes more visible when the AP “emergence point” at 0° cardinal is reached. This is an explosion of potential that has been held within — a time when our talents or drive can more easily come into public view. It’s like stepping out from the shadows and into a spotlight.
We can use this bloom cycle strategically by calculating when the AP will be activated in the horoscope by solar arc. Just as we know that the flower will bloom in springtime due to the molecular changes triggered during warmer weather and longer days, we can start to feel secure in our anticipation that the solar arc to the Aries Point activates a time of emergence in our life.
Blooming in Accord with Our Life Path
For people whose life plan corresponds with high public visibility, this emergence cycle is welcomed and easily embraced — it resonates.  With clients who are extroverted and are comfortable in high visibility public positions, I know I can suggest that they should utilize the AP solar arc strategically to launch something new, or actively start a strong marketing campaign or push for publicity. The typical, driven, “Type A” personality will certainly have more potential for grand exposure during an Aries Point arc, because these individuals will more readily engage the energy that this cycle offers. For some, the AP bloom can help them to step into a new level of public success, sometimes even fame. An outward (measurable) level of achievement frequently results. Here are some examples of “big blooms” in the lives of the famous.
The horoscope for the late superstar singer Whitney Houston offers a great illustration of a spectacular Aries Point bloom. Houston had a cluster of points that moved by solar arc to the AP in a three-year period.
Writer J. K. Rowling has a classic “rags to riches” story, triggered by an AP arc. The author’s first book in the Harry Potter fantasy series was published in 1997, when Rowling had solar arc Mercury exactly at 0° Libra. At the same time, transiting Uranus was opposite her Sun, and just a few months earlier, so was transiting Jupiter. What a fantastic recipe — a “magic potion” — for sudden success, reward, and visibility in publishing! Here, we see an amazing and beautiful synchronicity with astrological symbolism.
Imagine being her astrologer, doing a consultation with her several years prior to her big break, and spotting Mercury moving toward the Aries Point.
This would have presented a logical opportunity to suggest that there could be a decided bloom period in her writing in 1997. Surely this would be the time for her astrologer to encourage her to continue writing, to stay on track with her aspirations. She had been writing fantasy stories since she was a child, and success in pursuing this passion was one of her dreams. Interestingly, she came up with the idea for the story of a young boy attending a school of wizardry in 1990, when her natal Venus had solar arced to 0° Libra!
Rowling’s spectacular fame and high public visibility is a classic example of a bloom that had been in development for many years, with much hard work and perseverance leading to success. She is now a billionaire and is the United Kingdom’s best-selling author since records have been kept.
Vatican City and the Papal Transition
Another interesting example of the solar arc Aries Point energy — and one with incredibly interwoven threads of AP influence — is drawn from important current events. On February 11, 2013 came a shocking announcement, catching many Catholics off guard, that Pope Benedict XVI was resigning, abruptly, because of health concerns. He became the first Pontiff in 600 years to quit the office. When we look at his horoscope, we see Uranus oriental at the Aries Point! (See Chart 1) Benedict has the natal signature of strong individualism and being in the spotlight due to sudden unexpected change.
What’s fascinating about this situation is that, if we consider the horoscope for Vatican City (not shown), we find that, on the very day the announcement shocked the world, solar arc (SA) Uranus was at 0°50’ Cancer — sitting right at the Aries Point. The startling disruption in Catholic tradition needed to come forward into the public eye at this time. Also, we must notice that the Vatican City SA Uranus was squaring Pope Benedict’s natal Uranus in Aries, exactly to the minute! The suggestion here is that the Vatican City SA Uranus acted as a trigger to spark Benedict’s natal Uranus, and we had a public surprise that produced a powerful shock wave for Catholic tradition around the world.
This story wouldn’t be complete without mentioning that, just hours after the announcement of Benedict’s resignation, lightning (a common Uranus symbol) struck St. Peter’s dome at the Vatican.
When Pope Benedict announced his resignation, the Vatican City solar arc Uranus at 0° Cancer was squaring his natal Uranus in Aries, exactly to the minute!
The signal from SA Uranus at the Aries Point in the Vatican City horoscope reflects that the time is ripe for a pope — and a papal transition — that may not conform to long-held rules of tradition, or will bring fresh, new ideas and patterns to the Church. Immediately we saw this manifest with the election of Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina as the new Pontiff on March 13, 2013. He is the first pope from the Americas and the first from the Southern Hemisphere.first to choose the name Francis, in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. Pope Francis has pioneered a new way of doing things — some might even say a “revolutionary” way. He prefers to live in simple quarters in the Vatican instead of moving into the regal papal apartments; he refused to sit in a chair on a pedestal while he received the cardinals’ pledges of obedience after his election (he chose instead to stand at their same level); and he washed the feet of two girls during a Holy Thursday ritual. If you do a Web search of “Pope Francis breaking tradition,” you will find many such examples.
He is also the first Jesuit pope and the first to choose the name Francis, in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. Pope Francis has pioneered a new way of doing things — some might even say a “revolutionary” way. He prefers to live in simple quarters in the Vatican instead of moving into the regal papal apartments; he refused to sit in a chair on a pedestal while he received the cardinals’ pledges of obedience after his election (he chose instead to stand at their same level); and he washed the feet of two girls during a Holy Thursday ritual. If you do a Web search of “Pope Francis breaking tradition,” you will find many such examples.
When we look at the horoscope for Pope Francis, we see that SA Mercury was at 29° Pisces at the time he was elected! (See Chart 2) Mercury rules his 3rd and 12th houses — and isn’t it interesting that his papal message revolves around humility and compassion for the poor? The full bloom (Mercury reaching 0° Aries by solar arc) will happen in January 2014, so watch for an even more profound papal repositioning. This new pope has something important to communicate, a message that will continue to draw public attention as his SA Mercury blooms. This is the magnificent bloom of SA Uranus at the AP in Vatican City’s horoscope — interwoven with both the outgoing and incoming popes’ charts — in full view for all the world to see and for astrologers to appreciate.
Less Visible Blooms
So often in our culture, we focus our assessment and approval primarily on fame or measurable success (accumulation of wealth, awards, popularity, etc.). High outward achievement can be a wonderful thing, something to be proud of. But how does the AP bloom manifest for an individual whose life purpose involves being humble, quiet, and behind the scenes? What can we anticipate, for instance, if one is in the middle of motherhood, giving total attention and energy to being of service to the family? Or how do we view an executive assistant who does all the important administrative work “off stage” so that a CEO can shine? How does this cycle manifest for the more easygoing, introverted, or serviceoriented personalities?
This is critical to consider when working with clients, especially in how you present the potential offered during a powerful solar arc cycle. For greatest accuracy and benefit in consultations, we need to adjust our expectations of how the planet moving to the AP will manifest, according to the life path, circumstances, and practical reality of the client.
Sometimes the bloom that is experienced during the solar arc to the AP isn’t particularly happy or harmonious. In other words, the process of “opening” can be difficult, dramatic, occasionally even painful. If our life path is out of balance or off track, and we need to make adjustments in our direction in order to have more personal fulfillment, this little gem of a measurement can provide the push in the right direction. Following are a few examples.
One of my clients, “Ann” (all client names are pseudonyms), had been very unhappy in her marriage for four years, and we had many consultations where this issue was discussed. She wanted to leave her husband and start a new life, but her long-held pattern of guilt restrained her. There were many transits and solar arcs that suggested the divorce (the fresh start) during the four years when she was intensely wrestling with her feelings — some of these transits and solar arcs were, in fact, very forceful. With every occurrence, I wondered whether these cycles would provide the signal for her to break free. Even though her frustration increased and her dissatisfaction grew with each tense aspect, Ann still couldn’t bring herself to take action.
Ultimately, when her Sun (ruling the 4th house) moved by solar arc to 29°30’ Virgo, Ann came in for a consultation and announced that she was finally ready to make a decisive move. Everything was suddenly crystal clear. Her plan was to get her finances and records in order so that she could leave her husband and start a new life within six months. She had instinctively connected with the rhythm of her Sun moving toward the 0° Libra point by solar arc! The inner confidence that she needed to start a new life was in the process of coming forward — in public view — to an irresistible action point. All the powerful transits in her chart for the previous four years had prompted and accelerated the process, but it took the arrival of the AP bloom cycle for her to act.
We need to adjust our expectations of how the planet moving to the AP will manifest, according to the life path, circumstances, and practical reality of the client.
Another client (“Nancy”) had a cluster of AP solar arcs between the ages of 31 and 35. During that time, she was in a pattern of self-sabotage and underachievement due to alcohol addiction and substance abuse. When I was doing research for this article, I asked Nancy how she experienced the first AP arc at age 31 (Jupiter = 0° Capricorn and Mars = 0° Cancer). She instantly said that it was a period of much inner growth and that she had felt as though she were in touch with a “huge ball of motivating energy” at that time. She didn’t break through her addictions then, but she did start to yearn for a new life.
One year later, when Nancy was 32, she had Uranus = AP (0° Libra). The powerful freedom urges from Uranus bloomed, and she was compelled to file for divorce to leave a very unhealthy marriage. She also started and, with great intensity, pursued the process for ending and healing her addiction patterns. When she was 33 with Ascendant = AP (0° Libra), Nancy said that she was offered an incredible business opportunity, but she felt intimidated and not quite ready to trust herself to follow through for success.
Now at age 53, she has Neptune = AP (0° Capricorn), and the growth that began when she was 31 has been integrated: She has developed a strong foundation of healthy habits and is ready, even eager, to be visible and successful. She started writing songs when SA Neptune was in the bud phase (29° Sagittarius), and she’s now in the process of releasing her first CD as a singer/ songwriter. The creative energies of Neptune have blossomed in a beautiful and fulfilling manifestation.
Many of my female clients attest that they were able to end a long-term pattern related to a fear of confrontation when Mars moved by solar arc to the AP. Often I hear them say that this cycle helped them to speak up and draw appropriate boundaries so that they didn’t feel victimized anymore. The courageous energy of Mars “came forward” and was finally projected out into their lives.
I have countless examples of clients who felt a tremendous surge of personal confidence when their Sun solar arced to the AP. It’s easy to develop a keyword system to help understand the natural thrust of the energy. For instance, if a woman is in her childbearing years and is seeking to become pregnant, Venus = AP is a common signature. Uranus = AP often carries a powerful desire to break free, to stir things up, and sometimes even rebel! Neptune = AP can produce a beautiful creative or spiritual bloom.
One of my clients (“Cynthia”) has a natal conjunction of Uranus, Pluto, and the Moon in Virgo sitting right on her Midheaven. (See Chart 3, inner wheel) She had a very controlling and critical mother who maintained that being a “good, normal, and classy” girl was the most important thing in life. Cynthia was heavily programmed to dress smartly but conservatively. She was trained to always be nice and try to be perfect in every way. This was her childhood mantra.
Cynthia admitted to me that she had always wanted to have greater flair in how she dressed. She had yearned her whole life to break free of her mother’s restrictions and to dress — to express herself — the way she wanted. There was an inner desire to be wild and free, for once! She needed to accept her Uranus–Pluto conjunction and powerfully radiate her uniqueness.
When Cynthia first came in for a consultation in 2005, I noticed that her Ascendant would move by solar arc to the AP in four years (Chart 3, outer wheel). I could see that, in 2008 (one year before her Ascendant = AP), she would have transiting Saturn crossing her Virgo planets, with transiting Uranus in opposition. I knew that her identity could go through a growth period and that the strong Uranus–Pluto statement in her horoscope would be triggered. I suspected that the transits would start the process, but the Ascendant = AP would trigger the outer change in her image and help her to express her individuality.
Sure enough, she came in for another session in late 2009, wearing quirky cowboy boots and a mini dress with a big floppy sun hat! She was smiling and genuinely happy that she finally had the courage to project her originality. Her Ascendant was shining and enjoying a beautiful bloom.
And here is one more rather classic but painful example of how the AP solar arc triggers visibility when your life is not on track. Actor Charlie Sheen is known for his high-profile problems with addiction. He had Neptune = AP exactly (0° Capricorn) in early 2009. In late 2009, Sheen was arrested for assaulting his wife and was charged with felony menacing, as well as third-degree assault. His troubles were highly publicized, and his unhealthy behavior was on display for all to see.
Over the next two years, with Neptune still in orb of the Aries Point, Sheen’s drug use and bizarre tirades became much more prominent and, in January 2011, led to his dismissal from his hit TV show, Two and a Half Men.
Sheen’s negative behavior and emotional meltdowns were extensively covered by the media and sensationalized for many months. However, it’s significant to note that, while he manifested the behavioral confusion and ego wipeout often associated with the shadow side of Neptune, there appears to be a positive result from the exposure. The highly visible, acutely public crisis has apparently helped Sheen to begin new patterns and get his life, including his acting career, back on track.
Astrological Rhythms that Signal Growth
Solar arcs to the AP present a special time for enhanced exposure and projection of our inner potential and talents. Our circumstances and life path will suggest how this may manifest. Remember, this is not always an indicator of fame or notoriety; it may just as well be a signal of quiet but important personal realization or emotional breakthrough. The result of these converging influences is nevertheless a distinct and determinative bloom.
We can plan for the growth that’s scheduled to occur in our life by simply looking for the Aries Point solar arc and understanding that conditions will be right for some part of our nature to emerge and become more visible.
Informing our clients of the timing for solar arcs to the AP can be most helpful — this shines a light of awareness that provides specific nourishment for a spectacular bloom. Clients are grateful for this guidance, because they can then choose to cooperate with the cycle in the way that’s right and “natural” for them.
When we flow with the timing of the cycles in our horoscope, we enjoy more success on all levels. We give permission for significant personal development. We acknowledge and honor the astrological “rosebuds” in our lives — the exquisite promise of expansive growth that is within us all.

Proposal 1.0 May 16th 2021
1. The match day pools will be created randomly by executing the smart contract that will also publish them on the DApp before the season starts. All the data will be collected via decentralized oracles that will determine the score of each team’s game according to the performance of the team’s mirror clubs on their national league on that date.
2. The team with the most goals between the two members of that match day pool will win. If the confrontation ends in a tie, the contract will close the match day pool without a winner and it will return the funds to the participants minus the 5% transaction fee.
3. If there is a winner team, that team will keep its initial contribution to the pool. The losing team’s participation share of the pool will be distributed among the winning participants in direct proportion of their participation on their team’s share of the pool.
4. There will be 12 oracles (one per team/mirror team) and they will be ones updating the mirror teams results to the blockchain and automatically interact with the smart contracts of each match day pool to determine the winning team and calculate the portion corresponding to each participante from the wining team.

2 Chronicles 3:2
And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.


Slipping the haft of his axe through the loop on his belt opposite his quiver, Perrin took his unstrung longbow from the corner, slung his saddlebags over his shoulder and left the rooms he had shared with Faile without a backward look. They had been happy there—most of the time. He did not think he would ever be back. Sometimes he wondered whether being happy somewhere with Faile meant he would never return there. He hoped not.
The servants he saw in the palace corridors wore unrelieved black livery; perhaps Rand had ordered it, and perhaps the servants themselves had simply adopted it. They had been uneasy without livery, as though they did not know where they belonged, and black seemed safe as Rand’s color because of the Asha’man. Those who saw Perrin scampered away as fast as they could, not waiting for any bows or curtsies. Fear scent drifted behind them.
For once his yellow eyes had nothing to do with anyone being afraid. It might not be safe to loiter near a man at whom the Dragon Reborn had unleashed his rage so publicly this very morning. Perrin eased the shoulder under his saddlebags. A long while had passed since anyone had been able to pick him up and throw him. Of course, no one had ever used the Power to try, before. One moment in particular stuck with him.
He pushed himself up holding his shoulder, sliding his back up the square column that had stopped his flight. He thought a few ribs might have cracked. Around the Grand Hall of the Sun, a scattering of nobles who had come to appeal one thing or another to Rand tried to look anywhere else, tried to pretend they were anywhere else. Only Dobraine watched, shaking his gray head, as Rand stalked across the throne room.
“I will deal with the Aes Sedai as I choose!” Rand shouted. “Do you hear me, Perrin? As I choose!”
“You’ve just handed them over to the Wise Ones,” he growled back, shoving away from the column. “You don’t know whether they’re sleeping on silk or had their throats cut! You are not the Creator!”
With a snarl of rage, Rand threw his head back. “I am the Dragon Reborn!” he cried. “I don’t care how they’re treated! They deserve a dungeon!” Perrin’s hackles stirred as Rand’s eyes lowered from the vaulted ceiling. Blue ice would have been warm and soft beside them, the more so because they stared from a face twisted with pain. “Get out of my sight, Perrin. Do you hear me? Get out of Cairhien! Today! Now! I never want to see you again!” Pivoting on his heel, he strode away with nobles all but throwing themselves to the floor as he passed.
Perrin thumbed a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth. For one moment there, he had been sure Rand was going to kill him.
Shaking his head to rid himself of the thought, he rounded a corner and nearly ran into Loial.  The capacious pockets of his coat bulged with the shapes of books.
Loial’s tufted ears perked up at the sight of him, then suddenly drooped. His whole face drooped, eyebrows hanging on his cheeks. “I heard, Perrin,” he boomed sadly. “Rand should not have done that. Quick words make long troubles. I know he’ll reconsider. Tomorrow, maybe.”
“It’s all right,” Perrin told him.  I’m a blacksmith, not a courtier. By tomorrow, I’ll be a long way gone.”
“You and Faile could come with me. Karldin and I are going to visit the stedding, Perrin. All of them, about the Waygates.” A narrow-faced, pale-haired young fellow standing behind Loial stopped frowning at Perrin to frown at the Ogier. He had a scrip and a bundle, too, and a sword on his hip. Despite the blue coat, Perrin recognized one of the Asha’man. Karldin did not look pleased to recognize Perrin; besides, his smell was cold and angry. Loial peered down the hallway behind Perrin. “Where is Faile?”
“She’s . . . meeting me in the stables. We had words.” That was simple truth; Faile seemed to like shouting, sometimes. He lowered his voice. “Loial, I wouldn’t talk about that where anyone could hear. The Waygates, I mean.”
Loial snorted hard enough to make a bull jump, but he did drop his tone. “I don’t see anyone but us,” he rumbled. No one more than two or three paces beyond Karldin could have heard clearly.  “Everyone’s afraid to be seen near you. After all you’ve done for Rand.”
Karldin tugged at Loial’s sleeve. “We have to go,” he said, glaring at Perrin. Anyone the Dragon Reborn shouted at was outside the gates so far as he was concerned. Perrin wondered whether he was holding the Power right then.
“Yes, yes,” Loial murmured, waving a ham-sized hand, but he leaned on his axe, frowning pensively. “I don’t like this, Perrin. Rand chases you away. He sends me off. How I’m to finish my book . . . ” His ears twitched, and he coughed. “Well, that’s neither here nor there. But you, me, and the Light only knows where Mat is. He’ll send Min away next. He hid from her, this morning. He sent me out to tell her he wasn’t there. I think she knew I was lying. He’ll be alone, then, Perrin. ‘It’s terrible to be alone.’ That’s what he said to me. He is planning to send all of his friends away.”
“The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills,” Perrin said. Loial blinked at that echo of Moiraine. Perrin had been thinking of her a lot recently; she had been a restraining influence on Rand. “Farewell, Loial. Keep safe, and don’t trust anyone you don’t have to.” He did not quite look at Karldin.
“You don’t mean that, Perrin.” Loial sounded shocked; he seemed to trust everyone. “You cannot. Come with me, you and Faile.”
“We’ll meet again, one day,” Perrin told him gently, and hurried past before he had to say more. He did not like lying, especially not to a friend.
In the north stable things were much the same as inside the palace. Grooms saw him walk in, and dropped dung forks and curry combs, crowding out through small doors at the back. Rustles in the loft high above that might have escaped another’s ears told of folk hiding there; he could hear anxious, fearful breaths. He brought Stepper out of a green-streaked marble stall, slipped on his bridle and tied the dun stallion to a gilded hitching ring. He went to fetch blanket and saddle from a marble tack room where half the saddles were mounted with silver or gold. The stable fit very well in a palace, with tall square marble columns and a marble floor, even under the straw in the stalls. He rode out glad to see the back of grandeur.
North of the city he followed the road he had come down so desperately with Rand just a few days before, rode until folds in the land hid Cairhien. Then he turned off to the east, where a fair patch of forest remained, running down one tall hill and over the next, taller one. Just inside the trees, Faile booted Swallow to meet him, Aram heeling her like a hound on his own horse. Aram’s face brightened at the sight of him, though that was not saying much; he merely divided his faithful hound looks between him and Faile.
“Husband,” she said. Not too coolly, but razor-sharp anger and spiky jealousy still threaded through the clean scent of her and her herbal soap. She was garbed for travel, with a thin dust-cloak hanging down her back and red gloves that matched the boots peeking out beneath the dark narrow riding skirts she favored. No fewer than four sheathed daggers were tucked behind her belt.
Movement behind her turned into Bain and Chiad. And Sulin, with a dozen more Maidens. Perrin’s eyebrows rose. He wondered what Gaul thought of that; the Aielman had said he was looking forward to getting Bain and Chiad alone. Even more surprising were Faile’s other companions.
“What are they doing here?” He nodded toward a small cluster who held their horses back. He recognized Selande and Camaille and the tall Tairen woman, all still in men’s clothes and wearing swords. The blocky fellow in a fat-sleeved coat who had kept his beard oiled and trimmed to a point despite wearing his hair tied back with a ribbon also looked familiar. The other two men, both Cairhienin, he did not know, but he could guess, by their youth and the ribbon tying their hair if nothing else, that they were part of Selande’s “society.”
“I took Selande and a few of her friends into my service.” Faile spoke lightly, but suddenly she gave off foggy waves of caution. “They would have gotten themselves into trouble in the city, sooner or later. They need someone to give them direction. Think of them as charity. I won’t let them get under your feet.”
Perrin sighed and scratched his beard.  Especially when that wife was Faile; she was going to be as formidable as her mother. If she was not already. Under his feet? How many of these . . . puppies . . . had she taken on? “Is everything ready?  I’d like to be gone before that.” Aram growled in his throat.
“No one is going to take your head, husband.” Faile showed white teeth, and went on in a whisper she knew he would catch. “Except perhaps me.” In a normal voice, she said, “All is ready.”
In a clear, fairly flat hollow beyond the trees, the Two Rivers men stood beside their horses, a column of twos that wound out of sight around the side of the hill. Perrin sighed again. The red wolfhead banner and the Red Eagle of Manetheren stirred slightly in a hot breeze at the head of the column. Maybe another dozen Maidens squatted on their heels near the banners; on the other side, Gaul wore as close to a sullen expression as Perrin had ever seen on an Aiel.
As he dismounted, two black-coated men came to him, saluting with fist pressed to heart. “Lord Perrin,” Jur Grady said. “We’ve been here since last night. We are ready.”
Grady’s weathered farmer’s face made Perrin almost comfortable with him, but Fager Neald was another matter. Maybe ten years younger than Grady, he might have been a farmer too for all Perrin knew, but he affected airs and graces, and wore his pitiful mustache waxed to a semblance of points. Where Grady was one of the Dedicated, he was a Soldier, without the silver sword pinned to his collar, but that did not hold him back from speaking. “Lord Perrin, is it really necessary to take those women with us? They’ll be nothing but trouble, they will, the whole lot of them, and you know it well.”
Some of the women he was talking about stood not far from the Two Rivers men, shawls looped over their arms. Edarra appeared the eldest of the six Wise Ones impassively watching the two women Neald had nodded to. In truth, that pair worried Perrin as well. Seonid Traighan, all coolness and reserve in green silk, had been haughtily trying to ignore the Aiel women—most Cairhienin who were not pretending to be Aiel despised them—but when she saw Perrin, she shifted her bay’s reins to the other hand and gave Masuri Sokawa a nudge in the ribs. Masuri started—Browns seemed to go off in daydreams fairly often—stared at the Green sister blankly, then directed her stare at Perrin. This one was more the sort she might have given some peculiar and perhaps dangerous animal, one she intended to be sure of before she was done. They had sworn to obey Rand al’Thor, but how would they do obeying Perrin Aybara? Giving orders to Aes Sedai seemed unnatural. But better than the other way around, at least.
“Everybody comes,” Perrin said. “Let’s be gone before we are seen.” Faile sniffed.
Grady and Neald saluted again and strode out to the middle of the treeless area. Perrin had no idea which of them did what was necessary, but suddenly the now-familiar silvery vertical flash in the air rotated into a gateway not quite tall enough to ride through. Trees showed beyond the opening, not that much different from those on the surrounding hills. Grady strode through immediately, but even so he was nearly knocked down by Sulin and a small horde of veiled Maidens. They seemed to have taken the honor of being first through a gateway for themselves, and were not about to let anyone usurp it.
Foreseeing a hundred problems he had not thought of, Perrin led Stepper through into a land not so hilly. There was no clearing, but it was not so thickly treed as the hollow back in Cairhien, either. The scattered trees were taller, but just as sere, even the pines. He did not recognize much else except for oak and leatherleaf. The air seemed a little hotter.
Faile followed him, but when he turned to the left, she took Swallow right. Aram’s head swung worriedly between them until Perrin nodded toward his wife. The onetime Tinker hauled his gelding after her, but quick as he was, he was not before Bain and Chiad, still veiled, and, for all Perrin’s orders that the Two Rivers men were to be next, Selande and a good two dozen young Cairhienin and Tairens poured out of the gateway drawing their horses along. Two dozen! Shaking his head, Perrin stopped beside Grady, who turned this way and that, studying the sparse woodland.
Gaul came stalking up as Dannil finally began leading the Two Rivers men out at a run, pulling their horses.  The man ought to shave those fool mustaches.
“Women are beyond any belief,” Gaul muttered.
Perrin opened his mouth to defend Faile before he realized it must be Bain and Chiad the man was glaring at. To cover, he said, “Do you have a wife, Grady?”
“Sora,” Grady answered absently, his attention still on the surrounding trees. Perrin would have wagered he held the Power now, for sure. Anyone could see a long way in this, compared to any woods back home, but someone could still sneak up on you. “She’s missing me,” Grady went on, almost to himself. “You learn to recognize that one right off. I wish I knew why her knee hurts, though.”
“Her knee hurts,” Perrin said flatly. “Right this minute, it hurts.”
Grady seemed to realize he was staring, and Gaul was too. He blinked, but went right back to his study. “Forgive me, Lord Perrin. I need to keep a watch.” For a long moment he said nothing, then began slowly, “It’s something a fellow named Canler worked out. The M’Hael doesn’t like us trying to figure out things on our own, but once it was done . . . ” His slight grimace said perhaps Taim had not been all that easy about it even then. “We think maybe it’s something like the bond between Warders and Aes Sedai. Maybe one in three of us is married; anyway, that’s how many wives stayed instead of running off when they learned what their husbands were. This way, when you’re apart from her, you know she’s all right, and she knows you are. A man likes to know his wife’s safe.”
“That he does,” Perrin said. What was Faile up to with those fools? She was mounted on Swallow now, and they were all standing close around, looking up at her. He would not put it past her to leap into this ji’e’toh nonsense herself.
Seonid and Masuri glided behind the last of the Two Rivers men with the three Warders they had between them, and the Wise Ones right behind them, which was no surprise. They were along to keep an eye on the Aes Sedai. Seonid gathered her reins as if to mount, but Edarra said something in a low voice, pointing to a fat lopsided oak, and the two Aes Sedai looked at her, heads swiveling as one, then exchanged glances and led their horses to the tree. Matters would go a deal smoother if that pair was always so meek—well, not meek exactly; Seonid’s neck was stiff as a rod.
After that came the remounts, a herd of spare horses tied ten to a lead, under the watchful eyes of folk from Dobraine’s estates who supposedly knew what they were about. Perrin automatically picked out Stayer, on a lead by himself; the woman taking care of him better know what she was doing. A great many high-wheeled supply carts came through, drivers tugging the horses and shouting as if they feared the gateway might close on them—a great many because carts could not carry as much as wagons, and carts because a wagon and team would not fit through the gateway. It seemed neither Neald nor Grady could make one as big as Rand could, or Dashiva.
When the last cart finally trundled out on a squealing axle, Perrin considered ordering the gateway closed right then, but Neald was the man holding the thing open, and him on the other side of it back in Cairhien. A moment later, it was too late.
Berelain strode through leading a mare as white as Swallow was black, and he offered up small thanks that her gray riding dress had a neck right to her chin. On the other hand, from the waist up, it fit as snugly as any Taraboner dress. Perrin groaned. With her came Nurelle and Bertain Gallenne, the Lord Captain of her Winged Guards, a gray-haired fellow who wore his black eyepatch as another man might a plume in his hat, and then the red-armored Winged Guards themselves, more than nine hundred of them. Nurelle and the rest who had been at Dumai’s Wells wore a yellow cord tied high on the left arm.
Climbing onto her mare, Berelain rode off to one side with Gallenne while Nurelle formed the Winged Guards among the trees. There must have been fifty paces between her and Faile, and dozens of trees, but she placed herself where they could stare at each other. Stare with so little expression that Perrin’s skin crawled. Putting Berelain at the rear, as far from Faile as he could manage, had seemed a good notion, but he was going to face this every bloody evening. Burn Rand!
Now Neald popped out of the gateway, stroking his ridiculous mustache and preening for anyone who might be watching as the opening vanished. No one was, and he climbed onto his horse with a disgruntled expression.
Mounting Stepper, Perrin rode to a slight rise. Not everyone could see him because of the trees, but it was enough they could hear. A stir ran through the assemblage as he reined in, people shifting for a better look.
“As far as anyone’s eyes-and-ears back in Cairhien know,” he said loudly, “I’ve been banished, the First of Mayene is on her way back home, and the rest of you have just disappeared like fog in the sun.”
To his surprise, they laughed. A cry of “Perrin Goldeneyes” went up, and not just from the Two Rivers folk. He waited for it to quiet; that took a while. Faile neither laughed nor shouted, nor did Berelain. Each woman shook her head; neither believed he should tell as much as he intended to. Then they saw each other, and those shaking heads froze as if trapped in amber. They did not like agreeing. It was no surprise when their eyes swung to him with identical expressions. There was an old saying in the Two Rivers, though how you said it and what you meant depended on circumstance and who you were. “It’s always a man’s fault.” One thing, he had learned, women were better at than anything else: teaching a man to sigh.
“Some of you may be wondering where we are, and why,” he went on when silence fell at last. A smaller ripple of laughter. “This is Ghealdan.” Murmurs of awe, and maybe disbelief, at having crossed fifteen hundred miles or more in a step. “The first thing we have to do is convince Queen Alliandre we aren’t here to invade.” Berelain was supposed to talk to Alliandre, and Faile was going to give him fits for it. “Then we’re going to find a fellow who calls himself the Prophet of the Lord Dragon.” That would not be much pleasure, either; Masema had been no joy before he tipped over the edge. “This Prophet has been causing some problems, but we’re going to let him know Rand al’Thor doesn’t want anybody frightened into following him, and we’ll take him and any of his people who want to come back to the Lord Dragon.” And we’ll frighten the breeches off Masema to do it if need be, he though wryly.
They cheered. They whooped and shouted that they would march this Prophet back to Cairhien for the Lord Dragon till Perrin hoped this spot was even farther from any village than it was supposed to be. Even the cart drivers and horse handlers joined in. More than that, he prayed that everything went smoothly, and quickly. The sooner he could put as much distance as possible between Berelain and himself and Faile, the better. No surprises, that was what he wanted once they rode south. It was about time his being ta’veren showed itself good for something.
