Payback (R) * Starring Mel Gibson, Lucy Alexis Liu Directed by Brian Helgeland A Review by Frankie Paiva
There is only so much star power that you can handle. Several films base their success on their main star, thinking that they will be a big draw whether or not the film is any good. I think that this must have been what was on the minds of the people who created Payback, a new Mel Gibson thriller that doesn’t really thrill. The public seems to trust Mel when it comes to making good action movies, after this I wonder if anyone will. What starts out as an ultra-violent revenge movie ends as an ultra-violent revenge movie with not much difference in between.
Porter (Gibson, who’s right for the role but can’t pull it off) was betrayed by his partner and his wife when they all stole $135,000. They leave him for dead in a parking lot. But Porter is alive and (depending on your point of view) well, he plans to seek them out, retrieve his $70,000, and get some good old fashioned revenge.
Somehow, (I don’t really get this) they must plan the ultimate plan to get away from the two corrupt cops that are following them and escape from an evil guy (Kris Kristofferson) who’s son they kidnap. Will Mel Gibson die? Or will he overcome the bad guys? Seriously, does anyone not know the answer to those questions?
Payback is an example of what is wrong with out culture. The film is extremely violent, but the thing that bothered me is that plenty of that violence didn’t seem to be occurring for a reason. Another depressing factor of the film was that everything was shot when it was really cloudy or with no light, there isn’t one scene in the movie that has an lighting at all. Plus Lucy Liu’s character, a hooker that’s into S&M isn’t interesting even though there’s several moments where she could be. She’s basically the only woman in this that kills a lot of people. I also see no reason why the female characters were in this film at all because they didn’t bare their chests, which in this type of movie, seems like the only important thing they could do. The film played to me as kind of an old detective story, you can kind of sense Gibson doing a Humphrey Bogart thing as he narrates a lot of the story. But this film is way too much like Twilight, starring Paul Newman, to be any good. Female Gibson fans will be treated to only a brief glimpse of his chest in the shower, this is definitely a guy movie. So, if your looking to see a bunch of people get killed, punched, have their feet hit with hammers and whips, spanked, and shot, see Payback which gets * star.
The Young-Uns: Bloody and brutal violence and shooting accompany almost every scene. S&M sex scenes, heavy smoking, and language also occur. Good Age 17 & Up

Meaningful dialogue needed in Hong Kong
by New Zealand National Party18 November 2019
Growing tensions in Hong Kong amongst police and pro-democracy protestors are cause for increased alarm, National’s Foreign Affairs spokesperson Gerry Brownlee says.
“Small movements throughout history have led to eventual significant change. The current Government of Mainland China rose from such a protest movement and its achievements have been considerable.
“The demand for change in Hong Kong will need meaningful dialogue and a path to progress change if more bloodshed is to be avoided.
“Former British dependent territory Hong Kong has access to history and experience which may be helpful in reaching resolution to the current disruption which threatens the territory’s prosperity and until now, peaceful lifestyle.
“Hong Kong should reach out for that help and Beijing should be confident about its achievements and continue the measured restraint it has shown so far.” ends

The Al-Noor Annual Boat Race is an event which has been established by the Al-Noor Foundation in the Summer of 2018, at Fairlop Waters in the London Borough of Redbridge. The next event will take place on Saturday 21st August 2021. The event is open to all schools, faith groups, charities and corporate organisations. The event aims to unite the community whereby individuals, families and organisations have the opportunity to raise money for charitable causes which are close to their hearts, by simple registering for a boat and participating in the race.
Boat races are part of the great heritage of British culture and an amazing way to unite both competitors and communities together behind a common cause. Dragon Boat racing is something which is growing in popularity in the UK, originating from Southern China’s Guangdong Province.

Text description provided by the architects. Bela Vista House is the result of the intersections between apparently divergent housing types: a patio house laid out in a square plan; and superimposed linear blocks inserted in the topography by carefully located retaining walls. These differences are responsible not only for the insertion of the house in the landscape, which create a contrast between the topographic plinth and the transparent volume topping it, but also for splitting social and intimate functions.
The difference in level between these areas have created independent car accesses, which facilitate the parking management of visitors, residents, and service providers. The volumes that cap the hill, which redesign its perimeter overlooking the valley in a square shape, accommodate bedrooms and private living areas.
On top of it, the glass volume built around a patio houses all social spaces of the house: living, reception, dinning, among others. Its glass panes are protected by automatic translucent meshes for thermal and natural lighting regulation. Horizontal and vertical circulations all take place around the patio, which doubles in function as a rain garden. Its roof collects rainwater and direct it to the patio, where it is collected for reuse as greywater in the house.
The opposite volume, which is partially inserted in the terrain, gives support for pool and outdoor activities, with amenities such as: sauna, gym, barbeque pit, and others. The linear pool and deck that connect them leans over the landscape by creating and infinity edge on the plinth. The only part of the house disconnected from the plinth, but that remains inserted in the hill, is a private granite volume that contains guest rooms.


Search launched for missing man who vanished from home in Perth
Concerns are growing for Colin White who was last seen at the ASDA on Dunkeld Road around 4pm on Tuesday November 5.
by Nicholas Keyden, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/nicholas-keyden/A search has been launched for a missing man who vanished from his home in Perth .
Concerns are growing for Colin White who was last seen at the ASDA on Dunkeld Road around 4pm on Tuesday November 5.
The alarm was raised when the 35-year-old failed to show up to work despite saying that is where he was heading.
His car, a silver Ford Fiesta with the licence plate SW04KUF, was spotted on the A82 heading towards Invergarry around 4.15 am on Wednesday morning.
Police Scotland are appealing to anyone who may have information over his disappearance - it is the first time he has gone missing.
Colin, who is described as white, 6 ft in height, has short fair/blonde hair and blue eyes and was wearing a black jacket and blue jeans when last seen.
Constable Rory Miller, Perth Police Station, said: “Colin has never been missing before.
"It was when he didn’t turn up for work on Tuesday – after saying that was where he was heading – that the alarm was raised.
“Colin has worked all over the Highlands and Islands and we have been in touch with previous employers but unfortunately no one has heard from or seen him.
“He drives a silver Ford Fiesta SW04KUF and this car was on the A82 heading towards Invergarry around 4.15 am on Wednesday morning.
“We are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen Colin, or maybe knows where he is, to get in touch. His family are very concerned for him.
“We would also ask Colin to call us or his family to let everyone know he is ok.”
Information can be passed to officers at Perth Police Station via 101. Please quote reference number 2853 of 6 November 2019 when calling.

My name is Chris LeBailly. I am a life long learner and problem solver.
I began this journey as a student. At Grinnell College I double majored in mathematics and music, and was close to a third major in physics. After graduation I worked for two years in the Math Study Center at Evanston Township High School. I worked with students of varying abilities in mathematics, where I was able to explain the simple ideas of basic algebra to the more advanced underpinnings of Calculus. While I left this job to pursue graduate studies I have retained the ability to communicate scientific ideas to people who don't have a science background. After I finished my master in pure math, I decided to transition to data science. Part of my transition included studying bioinformatics (which helped sharpen my skill and confirm I was on the right path). I have now been working in data science since September 2014.
Outside of work I have many hobbies. I love all the outdoors in the San Francisco bay has to offer. I enjoy swimming, tennis, hiking, and beach volleyball. Inside I love exploring my creative side through improv classes and by playing piano. I have also been fascinated with aviation since childhood, and got my private pilot certificate in the summer of 2018. The picture above was taken on a trip with a friend from Chicago to Mackinac Island in a Cessna 172.
I want to make a positive difference in the world and enjoy working in a field which not only allows, but requires, me to continue to learn and grow.

| Attribute | Managed Packages | Unmanaged Packages |
|---|---|---|
| Customization | You can’t view or change the offering’s code or metadata. | You can customize code and metadata, if desired. |
| Upgrades | The provider can automatically upgrade the offering. | To receive an upgrade, you must uninstall the package from your org and then reinstall a new version from AppExchange. |

- List key questions to ask before installing a package.
- Install a package in your org.
- Describe how to connect with other superheroes and AppExchange.
Platform Development Basics
Meet the tools and technologies that power development on the Salesforce platform.
Get Started with the Salesforce Platform
-
Define the Salesforce platform.
- The Salesforce platform is a group of technologies that supports the development of other technologies on top of it
-
Describe the kinds of apps you can build with the platform.
- Core platform lets you develop custom data models and applications for desktop and mobile
- Heroku gives developers the power to build highly scalable web apps and back-end services using Python, Ruby, Go, and more
- The Mobile SDK is a suite of technologies that lets you build native, HTML5, and hybrid apps that have the same reliability and security as the Salesforce app
Develop Without Code
-
Describe the benefits of the metadata-driven development model.
- This metadata-driven development model is one of the key differences between developing on the platform and developing outside of Salesforce. Because the platform is metadata-aware, it can auto-generate a significant part of your user experience for you. Things like dialogs, record lists, detail views, and forms that you’d normally have to develop by yourself come for free. You even get all the functionality to create, read, update, and delete (affectionately referred to as CRUD) custom object records in the database.
- All this prebuilt functionality frees up your development time to work on more sophisticated custom features. Let’s take a look at how the metadata-driven development approach works in action.
-
Define and give examples of the no-code and low-code development approaches.
- Salesforce platform encourages you to minimize code because the platform’s metadata-driven architecture lets you complete most basic development tasks without ever writing a line
- Salesforce offers a host of tools for point-and-click—or declarative—development.
Quiz
-
What’s the relationship between objects, fields, and records and Salesforce’s relational database?
- They’re a direct representation of the underlying table structure
- Custom objects are stored in an object-oriented model while standard objects are stored in a relational model
- They’re an abstraction of the underlying table structure
- They give you the ability to understand the table structure, but you don’t work with them much in Salesforce
-
How does the metadata-driven architecture support declarative development?
- It allows the platform to auto-generate basic components for your org’s customizations, like dialogs and forms
- It inherently simplifies your org’s data model
- It gives your users access to more data than they’d have under a different architecture
- It entirely removes the need for programmatic development in Salesforce
Code with Salesforce Languages
There are three core programmatic technologies to learn about as a Salesforce developer.
- Lightning Component Framework: A UI development framework for desktop and mobile similar to AngularJS or React.
- Apex: Salesforce’s proprietary programming language with Java-like syntax.
- Visualforce: A markup language that lets you create custom Salesforce pages with code that looks a lot like HTML, and optionally can use a powerful combination of Apex and JavaScript.
Describe how Visualforce is used in Lightning Experience.
- With Lightning components, you’re developing components that can be pieced together to create pages. With Visualforce, you’re developing entire pages at once
Outline the ways Apex is used to support Lightning components and Visualforce.
-
Lightning components use JavaScript on the client-side and Apex on the server-side. Visualforce pages can also use server-side Apex controllers, and most complex pages use quite a bit
Quiz
-
What types of elements do you see in the XML markup for Lightning components?
- Static HTML tags
- JavaScript
- Lightning component tags
- A and C
-
What’s one situation where it’s better to use Lightning Components instead of Visualforce?
- You’re building something with a JavaScript framework like AngularJS
- Your project will run primarily on mobile devices
- You’re developing a single-page application
- It’s always better to use Lightning components
-
What’s true about Apex controllers?
- Lightning components use client-side Apex controllers
- Visualforce pages don’t use Apex controllers
- Lightning components use server-side Apex controllers
- There is no place for Apex controllers in modern society
Extend the Salesforce Platform
List the Salesforce APIs.
| API | What you can do with it |
|---|---|
| SOAP API | Integrate your org’s data with other applications using standard SOAP protocols. |
| REST API | Access objects in your org using standard REST protocols. |
| Metadata API | Manage customizations in your org and build tools that manage your metadata model. |
| Tooling API | Build custom development tools for platform applications. |
| Marketing Cloud API | Expose Marketing Cloud capabilities with the REST API and get comprehensive access to most email functionality with the SOAP API. |
| Bulk API | Load, delete, and perform asynchronous queries on large data sets. |
| Streaming API | Send and receive notifications securely and efficiently. Notifications can reflect data changes in your org, or custom events. |
| Chatter REST API | Build UI for Chatter, Communities, Recommendations, Files, Topics, and more. |
| Mobile SDK | While it’s technically a software development kit, it’s worth including here. Integrate Native or Hybrid mobile apps directly with Salesforce. |
Explain how Heroku and Salesforce are related.
- Heroku Connect unifies your Salesforce data with your Heroku Postgres data so you don’t have to manage moving information across platforms
Identify ways Salesforce interacts with IoT and bots.
Quiz
-
For sending secure notifications, which API is your best bet?
- MobileSDK
- REST API
- Chatter REST API
- Streaming API
-
Which Heroku service allows you to unify your Salesforce data with Postgres data?
- Heroku Unify
- Heroku Connect
- Heroku Data Lab
- Heroku1
-
Aside from Trailhead, where is the best place to learn more about Salesforce development?

- There is only Trailhead


Swifternalization
This is the main class of Swifternalization library. It exposes methods that can be used to get localized keys with or without expressions from Localizable.strings files.
It also uses Expressions.strings files to manage shared expressions that can have theirs identifiers placed in many versions of the Localizable.strings file.
Internal classes of the Swifternalization contains logic that is responsible for detecting which value should be used for the given key and value.
It is able to work with genstrings command-line tool like NSLocalizedString() macro does.
It looks for content in the NSBundle you can provide and try to find:
- Localizable.strings (Base),
- Localizable.strings of preferred language, e.g. Localizable.strings (en)
- Expressions.strings (Base),
- Expressions.strings of preferred language, e.g. Expressions.strings (en)
-

-
Swifternalization takes NSBundle when Localizable.strings file is located. This method return instance of the class but you don’t need it because shared instance is set automatically.
It get Localizable.strings file version based on the first language from the prefferedLocalizations property of NSBundle. If Localizable.strings for preferred language isn’t exist then Base is used instead.
Declaration
Swift
public init(bundle: NSBundle)
Parameters
bundle
bundle when .strings files are located.

In sprint-2 I was stuck trying to organise my site in a way that I liked. I wanted to set up boxes on top of eachother with an image on the left-side and a text ox on the right but since I was very inexperienced with CSS and was not using a frame work this was proving difficult.
I started by trying to place all the boxes one by one by manipulating their borders. It was a nightmare and I was creating not dry or 'wet' (is that a thing) code.
I spent a long time placing all the images in their boxes and resizing them but it still didn't have a nice clean look. I took time off and thought about it for a while, after that I realized that I could generalize my divs more, simplifying the code and greatly improving the look becuase of the uniformity it produced.
 It taught me about how to generalize my css and html better and made me feel more confident about re-working my code even if something already kinda works
I have read quite a bit of pseudocode during my learning of JS and as a way to illustrate the DOM. I find it a useful tool.
I am very confident when it comes to trying new things, I am happy with my ability to retain my skills so it makes me feel good about learning more.
I actually completely forgot about this method before it was brought up here but I want to try it as it's hilarious and I bet it's helpful. I do a similar technique by simply reading out the complicated text outloud in order to make sure I'm understanding each word.
I've only just started reading them with more understanding, especially in iTerm I find I can troubleshoot my problem by reading the messages when dealing with git errors.
I use console.log a lot but I've recently discovered debugging which I think will take over becuase of it's amazing functionality.
I almost always use google as my first means of troubleshooting. It is extremely useful and I usually opt for a youtube video for my simple questions.
I usually opt for asking the Phase_0 chat for help if the block persists and I find it very comfortable and helpful, Guy is especially helpful.
Harrsion has been helpful and I feel absolutely comfortable asking him any questions I may have.
I have been making a very large effort to manage my time better and this has been largely a result of my reflection. I have bought a daily planner and set goals for the next day every night.
When you change an array you can use the .map() function to save the adapted array as a seperate data set.
When a function is placed under a true or false if statement this function will make a new array with the values that returned true.
.reduce() takes a array and adds all values into one value.


--- layout: post title: Access the GoPro videos without the app date: 2022-06-03 category: Software-Development tags: Media-Server img: /notebooks/imgs/gopro/post_img.jpg file: /notebooks/gopro.py excerpt_separator:
This post will guide you step by step on how to access your video files over LAN wifi without the official app, from your GoPro directly to your computer.
GoPro is a well known action camera founded by Woodman Labs. As many of big manufacturers, they like to build their own eco-system to keep their clients inside it (so client won't easilly switch product because they are used to the frontend). This is a pure marketing technic that personally I hate, and make simple things as copying files from one device to another a living hell (hi Apple!).
In this case, we have videos captured from a GoPro, and we want to transfer them to our computer. The easiest way is to download the GoPro software or app, and download from there. If you are like me and don't like to install too useless softwares on your computer to keep it clean (so it is not a garbage), follow this guide!
Before you start make sure you have a stable wifi, and enable it on your desktop. Since we will use wifi to connect to the GoPro devide, if you are not using ethernet you will lose your internet connection. Optionnally, if you want to automatically scrap all the content on your desktop, you will need to install wget.
sudo apt install wget
If you have the app installed, they ask you to put your GoPro ready in application mode. What happens is that your GoPro is actually creating a local web server, then the app access this server and let you download the files. Instead, we will bypass the app and access the GoPro server directly!
settings/connection/remote connections/yes
settings/connections/connect a peripheral/gopro application
Warning
Pluging your GoPro is important because when the device is put into application mode, it won't put itself on sleep. Be also carefull that the camera (and mostly the lens!) doesn't get too hot.
Now we want to access the server to be able to download files. Place the GoPro near your desktop, then:
GPXXXXXXXX
(with 8 digits).settings/connections/camera info
.When you are connected, you should be able to access locally your file at http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/videos/DCIM/100GOPRO/. Voila! You have access to your files and you can play them on your browser, or manually download them.
Note
The actual important video files are the*.MP4
, the other files*.LRV
are a specific GoPro format used by their app for previews.
Of course, downloading the files one by one is a time consuming process. Ideally you would like to get all the videos directly inside a folder:
cd my/folder
wget -A .MP4 -r --no-parent http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/videos/DCIM/100GOPRO/
Note
Normally it should download at relatively high speed (>5MB/s), but it depends of the speed of your LAN network.
There is a high chance that you will not be able to play the media on your browser. This is because GoPro uses HEVC format (which is the update from h264) by default, and most browser does not support this format. If you need more information about the HEVC format, check this amazing post from mozilla, but to summarize, it allows a more efficient compression compare to its previous version.
To disable HEVC, you can do that under the GoPro seetings in general/video compression/h.264 and HEVC
.
If you have you files already in HEVC, you can still transcode it to h.264 using ffmpeg.
As an example if you have already compiled ffmpeg with nvidia:
ffmpeg -vsync 0 -hwaccel cuda -hwaccel_output_format cuda -i GXxxxxxx.MP4 -map 0:a:0 -c:a copy -map 0:v:0 -c:v:0 h264_nvenc -preset slow -b:v 36M GXxxxxxx_h264.mp4
To guide you on which options to use for compression, check the ffmpeg wiki.
Because the GoPro acts as a server, there is nothing stopping you accessing the media on another device than your desktop. For example you could view the videos on your tv with a kodi device, remotely and without buying the hdmi cable.

Review the following:


Svd
| input | (Tensor) the input tensor of size \((*, m, n)\) where |
|---|---|
| some | (bool, optional) controls the shape of returned |
| compute_uv | (bool, optional) option whether to compute |
| out | (tuple, optional) the output tuple of tensors |
The singular values are returned in descending order. If input
is a batch of matrices,
then the singular values of each matrix in the batch is returned in descending order.
The implementation of SVD on CPU uses the LAPACK routine ?gesdd
(a divide-and-conquer
algorithm) instead of ?gesvd
for speed. Analogously, the SVD on GPU uses the MAGMA routine
gesdd
as well.
Irrespective of the original strides, the returned matrix U
will be transposed, i.e. with strides U.contiguous().transpose(-2, -1).stride()
Extra care needs to be taken when backward through U
and V
outputs. Such operation is really only stable when input
is
full rank with all distinct singular values. Otherwise, NaN
can
appear as the gradients are not properly defined. Also, notice that
double backward will usually do an additional backward through U
and
V
even if the original backward is only on S
.
When some
= False
, the gradients on U[..., :, min(m, n):]
and V[..., :, min(m, n):]
will be ignored in backward as those vectors
can be arbitrary bases of the subspaces.
When compute_uv
= False
, backward cannot be performed since U
and V
from the forward pass is required for the backward operation.
This function returns a namedtuple (U, S, V)
which is the singular value
decomposition of a input real matrix or batches of real matrices input
such that
\(input = U \times diag(S) \times V^T\).
If some
is True
(default), the method returns the reduced singular value decomposition
i.e., if the last two dimensions of input
are m
and n
, then the returned
U
and V
matrices will contain only \(min(n, m)\) orthonormal columns.
If compute_uv
is False
, the returned U
and V
matrices will be zero matrices
of shape \((m \times m)\) and \((n \times n)\) respectively. some
will be ignored here.

Harduin
Blue
Harduin is wedding his childhood friend Blue early next year. We hope that the guests would bless us with their esteemed presence.
The ceremony would be held in a traditional Naga ceremony with pundits joining us from as far as Antarctica. The penguins themselves
would be responsible for the ring bearing ceremony and polar bears will be acting as our waiters. Don't worry, they will be paid minimum
wage.
- The story
- Harduin and Blue met at a preschool when they were just 2 years old. Little did they know that they would be getting
married 22 years later. Harduin grew up to be a Navy Seal that loved Halloween and Blue turned out to be a waitress with
a heart of gold. Both of them realised as they grew up that they were more than just best friends and Harduin proposed near
a yard sale. Disgusted by the stench of the nearby garbage, Blue rejected Harduin who then proceeded to abduct Blue and locked her
in a tower. Then Blue got afflicted by Stockholm syndrome and promised to marry him. What a cute couple!
- Where and When?
-
Date and Time
The ceremony is planned for 4th of January 2021 at 4:30 pm.
Anyone who doesnt come on time will be beheaded.
Location
The ceremony would be held at the Bran Castle. Please be noted that there will be guests of other races such as Jedis, Borgs, etc. Vampires might seem commonplace.

We understand that vacationing with Disney takes a lot of time, effort, and money to plan out and for those families with small children, a stroller is a necessity that, for whatever reason, can be difficult to obtain. It's with that in mind that our team here at Disney Parents provided a service that caters to your needs. No longer do you have to go through the hassel of finding, renting, and returning a stroller at the venues at our parks. We make it so that you are able to coordinate with other families (make requests, meet-ups, and exchanges) so everyone can make the most of their vacation.

A soothing dish for an easy supper, all this needs is a crisp green salad.
For the rice, preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
Heat an ovenproof sauté pan until hot, add half the butter and the onion and cook gently for a few minutes until softened but not coloured.
Add the rice and stir well then fry gently for another minute, again without colouring, and add the hot stock, seasoning and bay leaf.
Bring to the boil, stirring with a wooden spoon, then cover with buttered greaseproof paper and a lid and place in the oven. Cook for 15 minutes until the rice is cooked but still firm.
Remove the bay leaf, add the last of the butter and separate the grains of rice with a fork. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper then transfer to a clean warmed serving dish and keep covered with a clean piece of greaseproof paper until ready to serve.
Meanwhile, make the stroganoff. Sprinkle the beef strips with the paprika and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat a large frying pan with the vegetable oil. Quickly flash-fry the beef strips, making sure you keep them as rare as possible, then tip the meat into a colander, reserving any juices that drain off.
Using the same pan, add the butter, shallots and sliced mushrooms and cook for one minute.
Add the tomato purée and cook for few more minutes, stirring the ingredients together. Add the white wine vinegar and cook until completely evaporated.
Add the white wine and cook until reduced by half then pour in the double cream, bring to a boil, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Add the seared beef and the reserved juice and gently warm through, taking care not to boil or you will overcook the beef.
To serve, pour the stroganoff into a large warmed serving dish and sprinkle with dill pickle. Drizzle the sour cream over the top then sprinkle with chopped parsley and dust with paprika. Serve with the rice along side.

Getting the Sitters to their mounts proved no bother; they were as eager to be away as Egwene, especially Romanda and Lelaine, both cold as the wind and with eyes like thunderclouds. The rest were the very image of cool-eyed Aes Sedai serenity, giving off composure like a heavy scent, yet they glided to their horses so quickly that the nobles were left gaping and the brightly clad servants scrambled in loading the packhorses to catch up as best they could.
Egwene had Daishar set a hard pace in the snow, and with no more than a look and a nod from her Lord Bryne made sure the armored escorts moved as fast. Siuan on Bela and Sheriam on Wing rushed to join her. For long stretches they churned through fetlock-deep cover, the horses stepping high at near to a trot, the Flame of Tar Valon rippling in the icy breeze, and even when it was necessary to slow, when the horses were sinking knee-deep through the snow crust, they kept to a fast walk.
The Sitters had no choice except to keep up, and their speed cut down their opportunity to talk on the way. At that tiring pace, a lack of attention to your horse could bring a broken leg for the animal and a broken neck for you. Even so, Romanda and Lelaine each managed to gather her coterie around her, and those two knots floundered through the snow surrounded by wards against eavesdropping. The pair seemed to be delivering tirades. Egwene could imagine the topic. For that matter, other Sitters managed to ride together for a time, exchanging a few words quietly and casting cool glances sometimes at her and sometimes at the sisters wrapped around by saidar. Only Delana never joined one of those brief conversations. She stayed close beside Halima, who at last admitted that she was cold. Face tight, the country woman held her cloak close around her, but she still tried to comfort Delana, whispering to her almost constantly. Delana seemed to need comforting; her brows were drawn down, putting a crease in her forehead that actually made her seem aged.
She was not the only one worried. The others masked the feeling rigidly, radiating absolute poise, but the Warders rode like men expecting the worst to leap out of the snow at the next step, eyes shifting in an unceasing watch, disquieting cloaks streaming in the wind to leave hands free. When an Aes Sedai worried, her Warder worried, and the Sitters were too absorbed to think of calming the men. Egwene was just as glad to see it. If the Sitters were troubled, they had not yet made up their minds.
When Bryne rode out to confer with Uno, she took the opportunity to ask what the two women had learned about Aes Sedai and Tower Guards in Andor.
“Not much,” Siuan replied in a tight voice. Shaggy Bela did not seem to be having any difficulty with the pace, but Siuan did, gripping her reins tightly in one hand and the pommel of her saddle with the other. “As near as I can make out, there are fifty rumors and no facts. It’s a likely sort of tale to spring up, but it might still be true.” Bela lurched, her front hooves sinking deep, and Siuan gasped. “The Light burn all horses!”
Sheriam had learned no more. She shook her head, and sighed irritably. “It sounds all feathers and nonsense to me, Mother. There are always rumors of sisters sneaking about. Didn’t you ever learn to ride, Siuan?’ she added, her voice suddenly dripping derision. “By tonight, you’ll be too sore to walk!” Sheriam’s nerves must have been ragged for her to burst out so openly. From the way she kept shifting in her saddle, she had already achieved her prediction for Siuan.

“Be still, both of you!” Egwene snapped. She took a deep, calming breath. She was a bit ragged herself. Whatever Arathelle believed, any force Elaida sent to interfere with them would be too large for sneaking. That left the Black Tower, a disaster in the making.  Especially when the tree was in another country and there might not even be another chicken.
Still, she bit off her words in giving Sheriam instructions for once they reached the camp. She was the Amyrlin Seat, and that meant all Aes Sedai were her responsibility, even those following Elaida. Her voice was rock steady, though. It was too late to be frightened once you grabbed the wolf by the ears.
Sheriam’s tilted eyes went wide at the orders. “Mother, if I may ask, why . . . ?” She trailed off under Egwene’s level gaze, and swallowed. “It will be as you say, Mother,” she said slowly. “Strange. I remember the day you and Nynaeve came to the Tower, two girls who couldn’t decide whether to be excited or frightened. So much has changed since then. Everything.”
“Nothing stays the same forever,” Egwene told her. She gave Siuan a significant look, but Siuan refused to see. She appeared to be sulking. Sheriam looked sick.
Lord Bryne returned then, and he must have sensed the mood among them. Aside from saying that they were making good time, he kept his mouth shut. A wise man.
Making good time or not, the sun was sitting almost on the treetops when they finally rode through the army’s sprawling camp. Wagons and tents cast long shadows across the snow, and a number of men were hard at work building yet more low shelters out of brush. There were not nearly enough tents, even for all the soldiers, and the camp held almost as many harness-makers and laundresses and fletchers and the like, all those who inevitably followed any army. The ringing of anvils spoke of farriers and armorers and blacksmiths still at their labors. Cook fires were burning everywhere, and the cavalry peeled away, eager for warmth and hot food as soon as their wearily plodding animals were cared for. Surprisingly, Bryne rode on at Egwene’s side after she dismissed him.
“If you will allow, Mother,” he said, “I thought I might accompany you a while longer.” Sheriam actually twisted in her saddle to stare in astonishment. Siuan stared, too, straight ahead, as if not daring to turn her suddenly wide eyes toward him.
What did he think he could do? Act as her bodyguard? Against sisters? That fellow with the drippy nose would do as well. Reveal just how completely he was on her side? Tomorrow was time enough for that, if all went well tonight; that revelation now might easily stampede the Hall in directions she hardly dared contemplate.
“Tonight is for Aes Sedai business,” she told him firmly. But, silly as the suggestion was, he had offered to put himself at risk for her. There was no telling his reasons—who knew why a man did anything?—yet she owed him for that. Among other things. “Unless I send Siuan to you tonight, Lord Bryne, you should leave before morning. If blame for today attaches itself to me, it might reflect on you, too. Staying could prove dangerous. Even fatal. I don’t think they would need much excuse.” No need to name who “they” were.
“I gave my word,” he replied quietly, patting Traveler’s neck. “To Tar Valon.” Pausing, he glanced toward Siuan. It was less a hesitation than a consideration. “Whatever tonight’s business is,” he said finally, “remember that you have thirty thousand men and Gareth Bryne behind you. That should count for something, even among Aes Sedai. Until tomorrow, Mother.” Reining his big-nosed bay around, he called over his shoulder, “I expect to see you tomorrow, too, Siuan. Nothing changes that.” Siuan stared at his back as he rode away.
Egwene could not help staring, too. He had never been so open before, not nearly. Why now, of all times?
Crossing the forty or fifty paces that separated the army’s camp from the Aes Sedai’s, she nodded to Sheriam, who drew rein at the first tents. She and Siuan rode on. Behind them, Sheriam’s voice rose, surprisingly clear and steady. “The Amyrlin Seat calls the Hall to sit this day in formal session. Let preparations be made with all speed.” Egwene did not look back.
At her tent, a bony groom kicking her layered woolen skirts came running to take Daishar and Bela. Her face was pinched, and she barely ducked her head before hurrying away with the horses as quickly as she had come. The warmth of the glowing braziers inside was like a fist closing down. Egwene had not realized how cold it was outside until then. Or how cold she was.
Chesa took her cloak, and exclaimed when she felt her hands. “Why, you’re ice to the bone, Mother.” Chattering away, she bustled around folding Egwene’s cloak and Siuan’s, smoothing the neatly turned-down blankets on Egwene’s cot, touching a tray set on one of the chests that had been pulled down from the stack. “I’d jump right into bed, with hot bricks all around, if I was that chilled. As soon as I’d eaten, anyway. Warm outside does only so much good without warm inside. I’ll fetch a few extra bricks to tuck under your feet while you sup. And for Siuan Sedai, of course. Oh, if I was as hungry as you must be, I know I’d be tempted to gulp my food, but that always gives me pains in the stomach.” Pausing by the tray, she eyed Egwene, and nodded with satisfaction when she said that she would not eat too fast.
Making a sober answer was not easy. Chesa was always refreshing, but after today, Egwene almost laughed with pleasure. There were no complications to Chesa. Two white bowls of lentil stew stood on the tray, along with a tall pitcher of spiced wine, two silver cups, and two large rolls. Somehow, the woman had known Siuan would be eating with her. Steam rose from the bowls and pitcher. How often had Chesa had to change that tray to make sure warm food greeted Egwene straight away? Simple and uncomplicated. And as caring as a mother. Or a friend.
“I must forgo bed for now, Chesa. I’ve work yet tonight. Would you leave us?”
 “Are you sure she hasn’t been in your service since you were a babe?” she muttered.
Taking one of the bowls, a roll, and a spoon, Egwene settled into her chair with a sigh. She also embraced the Source and warded the tent against listeners. Unfortunately, saidar made her all that much more aware of half-frozen hands and feet. The bits in between were not much warmer. The bowl seemed almost too warm to handle, and the roll, as well. Oh, how she would have loved to have those hot bricks.
“Is there anything more we can do?” she asked, and promptly gulped down a spoonful of stew. She was ravenous, and no wonder, with nothing since breakfast and that early. Lentils and woody carrots tasted like her mother’s finest cooking. “I can’t think of anything, but can you?”
“What can be done, has been. There isn’t anything else, short of the Creator putting a hand in.” Siuan took the other bowl and dropped onto the low stool, but then she sat staring into her stew and stirring it with her spoon. “You wouldn’t really tell him, would you?” she said finally. “I couldn’t bear if he knew.”
“Why on earth not?”
“He’d take advantage,” Siuan said darkly. “Oh, not that. I don’t think that.” She was quite prudish in some areas. “But the man would make my life the Pit of Doom!” And washing his smallclothes and polishing his boots and his saddle every day was not?
Egwene sighed. How could such a sensible, intelligent, capable woman turn into a scatterbrain over this one subject? Like a hissing viper, an image rose in her head.  In a tavern! She shoved it away, hard. “Siuan, I need your experience. I need your brain. I can’t afford to have you half-witted because of Lord Bryne. If you can’t pull yourself together, I’ll pay him what you owe, and forbid you to see him. I will.”
“I said I’d work off the debt,” Siuan said stubbornly.  As much and more! He keeps his word, and I keep mine! Besides, Min told me I have to stay close to him or we’ll both die. Or something like that.” A pinkness in her cheeks gave her away, though. Her honor and Min’s viewing notwithstanding, she was simply willing to put up with anything to be near the man!
“Very well. You’re besotted, and if I tell you to stay away from him, you’ll either disobey or mope and wrap the rest of your brains in a cloud. What are you going to do about him?”
 He would have enjoyed none of it. Some, he might not have survived.
“Siuan,” Egwene said warningly. “You deny one more time what’s plain as your nose, and I’ll tell him and give him the money.”
Siuan pouted sullenly. She pouted! Sullenly! Siuan! “I don’t have time to be in love. I barely have time to think, between working for you and him. And even if everything goes right tonight, I’ll have twice as much to do. Besides . . . ” Her face fell, and she shifted on the stool. “What if he doesn’t . . . return my feelings?” she muttered. “He’s never even tried to kiss me. All he cares about is whether his shirts are clean.”
Egwene scraped her spoon through her bowl, and was surprised when it came up empty. Nothing remained of the roll but a few crumbs on her dress. Light, her middle still felt hollow. She eyed Siuan’s bowl hopefully; the woman seemed to have little interest in anything but drawing circles in the lentils.
A sudden thought occurred to her. Why had Lord Bryne insisted that Siuan work off her debt even after learning who she was? Just because she had said she would? It was a preposterous arrangement. Except that it did keep her close to him when nothing else would have. For that matter, she herself had often wondered why Bryne had agreed to build the army. He had to have known there was a very good chance he was laying his head on the chopping block. And why he had offered that army to her, a girl Amyrlin with no real authority and not a friend among the sisters except Siuan, as far as he knew? Could the answer to all of those questions be as simple as . . . he loved Siuan? No; most men were frivolous and flighty, but that was truly preposterous! Still, she offered the suggestion, if only to amuse Siuan. It might cheer her a little.
Siuan snorted in disbelief. It sounded odd, coming from that pretty face, but no one could put quite so much expression into a snort as she did. “He’s not a total idiot,” she said dryly. “In fact, he has a good head on his shoulders. He thinks like a woman, most of the time.”
“I still haven’t heard you say you’ll straighten up, Siuan,” Egwene persisted. “You have to, one way or another.”
“Well, of course I will. I don’t know what’s been the matter with me. It isn’t as if I never kissed a man before.” Her eyes narrowed suddenly, as if she expected Egwene to challenge her on that. “I haven’t spent my whole life in the Tower. This is ridiculous! Chattering about men, tonight of all nights!” Peering into her bowl, she seemed to realize for the first time that it held food. She filled her spoon, gesturing with it at Egwene. “You have to be careful of your timing, more now than ever. If Romanda or Lelaine grabs the tiller, you’ll never get your hands on it.”
Ridiculous or not, something certainly had restored Siuan’s appetite. She went through her stew faster than Egwene had hers, and not a crumb of the roll escaped her. Egwene found that she had drawn her fingers through her own empty bowl.
Discussing what was to happen tonight served no real point. They had honed and refined what Egwene was to say, and when, so many times that she was surprised she had not dreamed of it. She certainly could have done her part in her sleep. Siuan insisted anyway, skirting very near the point where Egwene would have to call her down, going over it again and again, bringing up possibilities they had discussed before a hundred times. Strangely, Siuan had found herself a very good mood. She even essayed a little humor, unusual for her of late, though some was on the gallows side.
“You know Romanda wanted to be Amyrlin herself once,” she said at one point. “I’ve heard it was Tamra getting the stole and staff that made her stalk off into retirement like a gull with her tail feathers clipped.
And later. “I wish I could be there to hear them howl. Somebody’s going to before much longer, and I’d rather it was them than us. I never had the voice for singing.” She actually sang a little snatch about staring across the river at a boy and having no boat. She was right; her voice was pleasant in its fashion, but she could not carry a tune in a bucket.
And later still. “A good thing I have such a sweet face now. If this goes badly, they’ll dress the pair of us for dolls and sit us on a shelf to admire. Of course, we might have ‘accidents’ instead. Dolls do get broken. Gareth Bryne will have to find someone else to bully.” She really laughed at that.
Egwene felt considerable relief when the tentflap bulged inward briefly, announcing someone who knew enough not to enter where there was a ward. She really did not want to hear where Siuan’s humor went from there!
As soon as she released the ward, Sheriam stepped inside, accompanied by a rush of air that seemed ten times as cold as earlier. “It’s time, Mother. Everything is ready.” Her tilted eyes were wide, and she licked her lips with the tip of her tongue.
Siuan bounded to her feet and seized her cloak from Egwene’s cot, but she paused in the act of draping it on her shoulders. “I have sailed the Fingers of the Dragon in the dark, you know,” she said seriously. “And netted a lionfish once, with my father. It can be done.”
Sheriam frowned as Siuan darted out, letting in more cold. “Sometimes, I think,” she began, but whatever she sometimes thought, she did not share. “Why are you doing this, Mother?” she asked instead. “All of it, today at the lake, calling the Hall tonight. Why did you have us spend all day yesterday talking about Logain to everybody we met? I’d think you might share it with me. I am your Keeper. I did swear fealty.”
“I tell you what you need to know,” Egwene said, swinging her cloak around her shoulders. There was no need to say that she trusted a forced oath only so far, even a sister’s. And Sheriam might find a reason to let a word slip into the wrong ear despite that oath. After all, Aes Sedai were noted for finding loopholes in what they had said. She did not really believe that would happen, but just as with Lord Bryne, she could not take even small chances unless she had to.
“I have to tell you,” Sheriam said bitterly, “I think tomorrow Romanda or Lelaine will be your Keeper of the Chronicles, and I’ll be serving a penance for not warning the Hall. And I think you might envy me.”
Egwene nodded. All too possible. “Shall we go?”
The sun made a red dome on the treetops to the west, and a lurid light shone off the snow. Servants marked Egwene’s passage along the deep paths with silent bows and curtsies. Their faces were troubled or else blank; servants could pick up the moods of those they served almost as quickly as Warders.
Not a sister was to be seen, at first, and then they all were, in a great gathering three deep around a pavilion set up in the only open space in the camp large enough, the area used by sisters Skimming to the dovecotes in Salidar and Traveling back with reports from the eyes-and-ears. A large much-mended piece of heavy canvas, not a patch on the splendor of the canopy at the lake, it had been a great deal of effort to set up. Most often in the past two months, the Hall had convened much as they had yesterday morning, or perhaps squeezed into one of the larger tents. The pavilion had been erected only twice since leaving Salidar. Both times for a trial.
Noticing Egwene and Sheriam’s approach, sisters in the back murmured to those ahead, and a gap opened to let them through. Expressionless eyes watched the pair of them, giving not a clue to whether the watching sisters knew or even suspected what was happening. Not a clue to what they thought. Butterflies stirred in Egwene’s stomach. A rosebud. Calm.
She stepped onto the layered carpets, woven in bright flowers and a dozen different patterns, and moved through the ring of braziers set up around the canopy’s rim, and Sheriam began. “She comes; she comes . . .
The polished benches and cloth-covered boxes from the lake were in use again. They made a much more formal sight than the mismatched gaggle of chairs that had been used previously, two slanting lines of nine, grouped by threes; Green, Gray and Yellow to one side, White, Brown and Blue to the other. At the wide end, farthest from Egwene, stood the striped box and bench for the Amyrlin Seat. Sitting there, she would be the focus of every eye, very much aware that she was one facing eighteen. As well she had not changed her clothes; every Sitter still wore her finery from the lake, only adding her shawl. A rosebud. Calm.
One of the benches was empty, though only for a moment longer. Delana came running in just as Sheriam finished her litany. Looking breathless and flustered, the Gray Sitter scrambled up to her seat, between Varilin and Kwamesa, with little of her usual grace. She wore a sickly grin, and toyed nervously with the firedrops around her neck. Anyone might have thought she was the one on trial. Calm. No one was on trial. Yet.
Egwene started slowly across the carpets, between the two rows, with Sheriam close behind, and Kwamesa stood. The light of saidar suddenly shone around the dark slender woman, youngest of the Sitters. Tonight there would be no skimping of the formalities. “What is brought before the Hall of the Tower is for the Hall alone to consider,” Kwamesa announced. “Whosoever intrudes unbidden, woman or man, initiate or outsider, whether they come in peace or in anger, I will bind according to the law, to face the law. Know that what I speak is true; it will and shall be done.”
That formula was older than the oath against speaking untruth, from a time when almost as many Amyrlins died by assassination as by all other causes put together. Egwene continued her measured tread. It was an effort not to touch her stole, for a reminder. She tried to concentrate on the bench ahead.
Kwamesa resumed her seat, still shining with the Power, and among the Whites, Aledrin rose, the glow surrounding her as well. With her dark golden hair and big pale brown eyes, she was quite lovely when she smiled, but tonight a stone had more expression than she. “There are those within earshot who are not of the Hall,” she said in a cool voice strong with the accents of Tarabon. “What is spoken in the Hall of the Tower is for the Hall alone to hear, until and unless the Hall decides otherwise. I will make us private. I will seal our words to our ears only.” Weaving a ward that walled the entire pavilion, she sat. There was a stir among the sisters outside, who now must watch the Hall move in utter silence.
Strange, that so much among Sitters depended on age, when distinction by age was next to anathema among the rest of Aes Sedai. Could Siuan have seen a pattern in the Sitters’ ages? No. Focus. Calm, and focus.
Gripping the edges of her cloak, Egwene stepped up onto the brightly striped box and turned. Lelaine was already on her feet, blue-fringed shawl looped across her arms, and Romanda was rising, without even waiting for Egwene to sit. She dared not let either seize the tiller. “I call a question before the Hall,” she said in a loud, firm voice. “Who will stand to declare war against the usurper Elaida do Avriny a’Roihan?”
And then she sat, throwing off her cloak and letting it fall across the bench. Standing beside her on the carpets, Sheriam appeared quite cool and collected, but she made a small sound, almost a whimper. Egwene did not think anyone else had heard. She hoped not.
There was a brief moment of shock, women frozen on their seats, staring at her in amazement. Perhaps as much because she had asked at all as what she had asked. No one put a question before the Hall before sounding out the Sitters; it just was not done, for practical reasons as much as tradition.
At last Lelaine spoke. “We do not declare war on individuals,” she said in a dry voice. “Not even on traitors like Elaida. In any case, I call to shelve your question while we deal with more immediate matters.” She had had time to gather herself since the ride back; her face was merely hard now, not thunderous. Brushing blue-slashed skirts as if brushing away Elaida—or perhaps Egwene—she turned her attention to the other Sitters. “What brings us to sit tonight is . . . I was about to say simple, but it isn’t. Open the novice book? We would have grandmothers clamoring to be tested. Remain here a month? I hardly need list the difficulties, beginning with spending half our gold without coming a foot nearer Tar Valon. And as for not crossing into Andor—”
“My sister Lelaine, in her anxiety, has forgotten who has the right to speak first,” Romanda cut in smoothly. Her smile managed to make Lelaine appear merry.  “I have two questions to call before the Hall, and in the second I will address Lelaine’s concerns. Unfortunately for her, my first question concerns Lelaine’s own fitness to continue in the Hall.” Her smile widened without growing the slightest bit warmer. Lelaine sat slowly, her scowl quite open.
“A question of war cannot be shelved,” Egwene said in a carrying tone. “It must be answered before any question called after it. That is the law.”
Quick, questioning glances passed between Sitters.
“Is that so?” Janya said finally. Squinting thoughtfully, she twisted on her bench to address the woman next to her. “Takima, you remember everything you read, and I’m sure I remember you saying you had read the Law of War. Is that what it says?”
Egwene held her breath. The White Tower had sent soldiers to any number of wars over the last thousand years, but always in response to a plea for help from at least two thrones, and it always had been their war, not the Tower’s. The last time the Tower itself actually declared war had been against Artur Hawkwing. Siuan said that now only a few librarians knew much more than that there was a Law of War.
Short, with long dark hair to her waist and skin the color of aged ivory, Takima often reminded people of a bird, tilting her head in thought. Now she looked like a bird that wanted to take flight, shifting on her seat, adjusting her shawl, unnecessarily straightening her cap of pearls and sapphires. “It is,” she said finally, and clamped her mouth shut.
Egwene quietly started breathing again.
“It seems,” Romanda said in a clipped tone, “that Siuan Sanche has been teaching you well. Mother. How speak you in support of declaring war? On a woman.” She sounded as if she were trying to push something disagreeable out of her way, and she dropped onto her seat waiting for it to depart.
Egwene nodded graciously anyway, and rose. She met the Sitters’ gazes one by one, levelly, firmly. Takima avoided her eyes. Light, the woman knew! But she had not said anything. Would she hold silent long enough? It was too late to change plans.
“Today we find ourselves confronted by an army, led by people who doubt us. That army would not be there otherwise.” Egwene wanted to put passion into her voice, to let it burst out, but Siuan had advised utter coolness, and finally she had agreed. They needed to see a woman in control of herself, not a girl being ridden by her heart. The words came from her heart, though. “You heard Arathelle say she did not want to become entangled in Aes Sedai affairs. Yet they were willing to bring an army into Murandy and stand in our way. Because they are not certain who we are, or what we are about. Did any of you feel that they truly believe you are Sitters?” Malind, round-faced and fierce-eyed, shifted on her bench among the Greens, and so did Salita, twitching her yellow-fringed shawl, though her dark face managed to hide any expression. Berana, another Sitter chosen in Salidar, frowned thoughtfully. Egwene did not mention the reaction to her as Amyrlin; if that thought was not already in their heads, she did not want to plant it.
“We’ve listed Elaida’s crimes to countless nobles,” she went on. “We’ve told them we intend to remove her. But they doubt. They think that maybe—maybe—we are what we say. And maybe there’s a trick in our words. Perhaps we are only Elaida’s hand, weaving some elaborate scheme. Doubt leaves people floundering. Doubt gave Pelivar and Arathelle the nerve to stand before Aes Sedai and say, ‘You cannot go further.’ Who else will stand in our way, or interfere, because they aren’t certain, and uncertainty leads them to act in a cloud of confusion? There’s only one way for us to dispel their confusion. We have already done everything else. Once we declare ourselves at war with Elaida, there can be no doubts. I don’t say that Arathelle and Pelivar and Aemlyn will march away as soon as we do so, but they and everyone else will know who we are. No one will dare again to show doubt so openly when you say you are the Hall of the Tower. No one will dare stand in our way, meddling in the affairs of the Tower through uncertainty and ignorance. We have walked to the door and put our hands on the latch. If you are afraid to walk through, then you all but ask the world to believe that you are nothing but Elaida’s puppets.”
She sat, surprised at how calm she felt. Beyond the two rows of Sitters, sisters outside stirred, putting their heads together. She could imagine the excited murmurs that Aledrin’s ward blocked off.
Romanda grunted impatiently, and stood only long enough to say, “Who stands for declaring war against Elaida?” Her gaze returned to Lelaine, and her cold, smug smile returned. It was clear what she considered important, once this nonsense was done with.
Janya rose immediately, the long brown fringe on her shawl swaying. “We might as well,” she said. She was not supposed to speak, but her set jaw and sharp gaze dared anyone to call her down. She was not normally so forceful, but as usual, her words nearly tripped over one another.  Well? Well? I don’t see the point of waiting.” On the other side of Takima, Escaralde nodded and stood.
Moria all but bounded to her feet, frowning down at Lyrelle, who gathered her skirts as if to rise, then hesitated and looked at Lelaine questioningly. Lelaine was too busy frowning across the carpets at Romanda to notice.
 A stocky, copper-skinned Domani, Faiselle was not a woman startled by much, but she looked startled now, her square face swinging wide-eyed from Samalin to Malind and back.
Salita rose, carefully adjusting the yellow fringe of her shawl and just as carefully avoiding Romanda’s sudden frown. Kwamesa stood, and then Aledrin, drawing Berana up by her sleeve. Delana twisted completely around on her bench, peering at the sisters outside. Even in silence the spectators’ excitement communicated itself in constant shifting, heads going together, eyes darting toward the Sitters.  Takima grimaced and stared at her hands on her knees. Saroiya studied the other two White Sitters, tugging at her ear the way she did when deep in thought. But no one else moved to stand.
Egwene felt bile rising in her own throat. Ten. Just ten. She had been so sure. Siuan had been so sure. Logain alone should have been enough, given their ignorance of the law involved. Pelivar’s army and Arathelle refusing to admit that they were Sitters should have primed them like a pump.
“For the love of the Light!” Moria burst out. Rounding on Lyrelle and Lelaine, she planted her fists on her hips. If Janya’s speaking had gone against custom, this tied it in a knot. Displays of anger were strictly forbidden in the Hall, but Moria’s eyes blazed, and her Illianer accent was thick with it. “Why do you wait? Elaida did steal the stole and the staff! Elaida’s Ajah did make Logain a false Dragon, and only the Light knows how many other men! No woman in the history of the Tower did ever deserve this declaration more! Stand, or hold silent from now about your resolve to remove her!”
Lelaine did not quite stare, but by her expression you might have thought she had found herself attacked by a sparrow. “This is hardly worth a vote, Moria,” she said in a tight voice. “We will speak later about decorum, you and I. Still, if you need a demonstration of resolve . . .  Lelaine seemed surprised that it did not pull up Faiselle and Takima, too.
Far from standing, Takima grunted as if struck.  And then did it again. Takima, who remembered everything the first time.
Egwene breathed deep in relief. It was done. She could hardly believe. After a moment, she cleared her throat, and Sheriam actually jumped.
Green eyes as big as teacups, the Keeper cleared her throat, too. “The lesser consensus standing, war is declared against Elaida do Avriny a’Roihan.” Her voice was none too steady, but it sufficed. “In the interest of unity, I ask for the greater consensus to stand.”
Faiselle half-moved, then clenched her hands in her lap. Saroiya opened her mouth, then closed it without speaking, her face troubled. No one else stirred.
“You won’t get it,” Romanda said flatly. The sneer she directed across the pavilion at Lelaine was as good as a statement of why she, at least, would not stand.  Romanda was left with her mouth hanging open.
Takima’s lips writhed. The diminutive Brown looked more than ever a bird wishing to take flight. “The Law . . . ” she began, then took a deep breath and sat up straight. “The Law of War states, ‘As one set of hands must guide a sword, so the Amyrlin Seat shall direct and prosecute the war by decree. She shall seek the advice of the Hall of the Tower, but the Hall shall carry out her decrees with all possible speed, and for the sake of unity, they shall . . . ’ ” She faltered, and had to visibly force herself to go on. “ ‘ . . . they shall and must approve any decree of the Amyrlin Seat regarding prosecution of the war with the greater consensus.’ ”
A long silence stretched. Every eye seemed to be goggling. Turning abruptly, Delana vomited onto the carpets behind her bench. Kwamesa and Salita both climbed down and started toward her, but she waved them off, plucking a scarf from her sleeve to wipe her mouth. Magla and Saroiya and several others still seated looked as though they might follow her example. No others who had been chosen in Salidar, though. Romanda appeared ready to bite through a nail.
“Very clever,” Lelaine said at last in clipped tones, and after a deliberate pause, added, “Mother. Will you tell us what the great wisdom of your vast experience tells you to do? About the war, I mean. I want to make myself clear.”
“Let me make myself clear, too,” Egwene said coldly. Leaning forward, she fixed the Blue Sitter sternly. “A certain degree of respect is required toward the Amyrlin Seat, and from now on, I will have it, daughter. This is no time for me to have to unchair you and name a penance.” Lelaine’s eyes crept wider and wider with shock. Had the woman really believed everything would continue as before? Or after so long not daring to show more than the tiniest backbone, had Lelaine simply believed she had none? Egwene really did not want to unchair her; the Blues would almost certainly return the woman, and she still had to deal with the Hall on matters that could not be convincingly disguised as part of the war against Elaida.
From the corner of her eye, she saw a smile pass across Romanda’s lips at seeing Lelaine set down. Small profit if all she did was raise Romanda’s stock with the others. “That holds for everyone, Romanda,” she said. “If need be, Tiana can find two birches as easily as one.” Romanda’s smile vanished abruptly.
“If I may speak, Mother,” Takima said, rising slowly. She attempted a smile, but she still looked decidedly ill. “I myself think you have begun well. There may be benefits to stopping here a month. Or longer.” Romanda’s head jerked around to stare at her, but for once, Takima did not appear to notice. “Wintering here, we can avoid worse weather further north, and also plan carefully—”
“There’s an end to delays, daughter,” Egwene cut in. “No more dragging our feet.” Would she be another Gerra, or another Shein? Either was still possible. “In one month, we will Travel from here.” No; she was Egwene al’Vere, and whatever the secret histories would say of her faults and virtues, the Light only knew, but they would be hers, not copies of some other woman’s. “In one month, we will begin the siege of Tar Valon.”
This time, the silence was broken only by the sound of Takima weeping.

China says Zimbabwe aid almost 40 times higher than govt figure
China on Tuesday refuted a claim by Zimbabwe´s government that it only received $3.6 million in aid from Beijing this year, saying the actual figure was almost 40 times higher.
by Zimbabwe´s government that it only received $3.6 million in aid from Beijing this year, saying the actual figure was almost 40 times higher.The Chinese remarks came after Zimbabwe’s Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube listed bilateral aid figures while presenting Zimbabwe’s 2020 budget last week.
Ncube said China’s contribution was significantly lower than amounts Zimbabwe received from other international donors.
The Chinese embassy in Zimbabwe responded by saying the $3.6 million (3.2 million euros) figure was “very different” from reality on the ground.

“According to our record, from January to September 2019, the actual bilateral support provided to Zimbabwe by China is $136.8 million,” an embassy statement said on Tuesday.
It asked the Zimbabwean government to “make comprehensive assessments on the statistics of bilateral supports” and “reflect its actual situation” when making budget statements.
China is Africa’s largest trading partner.
Beijing promised $60 billion in loans and aid to the continent at a major summit with African leaders last year — a pledge that came of top of another $60 billion made at a similar event in 2015.
The country has maintained strong diplomatic ties with Zimbabwe since its independence from Britain in 1980.
Under former president Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe adopted a “Look East” policy after a fallout with the US and the EU over rights abuses and controversial land reforms.
Zimbabwe’s government said it had “noted the query” raised by the Chinese embassy.
“Necessary consultations are underway to establish a common accounting position,” tweeted the information ministry.
Ncube’s $3.6 million figure was pale compared to the $50 million he said Zimbabwe received from both Britain and the United States, the $41 million donated by the European Union and the $28 million received from Sweden.
Zimbabwe’s economy has been crippled by decades of mismanagement under Mugabe.
Galloping hyperinflation has wiped out savings and sent the cost of living soaring.
Unemployment is estimated at around 90 percent and even basic goods such as bread and fuel are hard to come by.
Ncube said the economy was expected to contract by 6.5% in 2019, with prospects of up to 3% recovery in 2020 — spurred by a better farming season and a marginal reduction in value-added tax.
China has been a major partner in most of Zimbabwe’s projects, including the building of a new parliament and a school of intelligence. AFP

Ubuntu and Fedora/RHEL/CentOS/SL releases are signed by their own keys that are verified by the package managers when installing.
The platforms currently supported by Julia are outlined below. They are divided into a tier system which ranks them based on the what users can expect for each.
| Operating System | OS Version | Architecture | Support Tier | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| macOS | 10.8+ | x86-64 (64-bit) | Tier 1 | |
| Windows | 7+ | x86-64 (64-bit) | Tier 1 | |
| i686 (32-bit) | Tier 1 | |||
| FreeBSD | 11.0+ | x86-64 (64-bit) | Tier 1 | |
| i686 (32-bit) | Tier 3 | |||
| Linux | 2.6.18+ | x86-64 (64-bit) | Tier 1 | |
| i686 (32-bit) | Tier 1 | |||
| ARMv7 (32-bit) | Tier 3 | |||
| ARMv8 (64-bit) | Tier 3 | |||
| x86-64 musl libc | Tier 3 | |||
| PowerPC (64-bit) | Tier 4 |

Getting Started
Installation
(2.1)
- Download AnkhSVN from one of the above download
links.
- Run the AnkhSVN installer package (It automatically
updates any previous versions)
Start using AnkhSVN from Visual
Studio
Using an existing solution
with AnkhSVN 2.1
- Open your solution
- If you are the first AnkhSVN 2.1 user of this
solution
-
- If glyphs do not appear automatically choose
Tools -> Options -> Source Control and
make sure AnkhSVN is the active source control
provider.
- Verify if the solution is connected to AnkhSVN
-
- Right click the solution file. If you have an
option that says 'Add to Subversion', your Solution
is not connected yet
- Click Add to Subversion and confirm adding the
binding
- If your project is not in an
existing workingcopy you are now asked where to
store your project
- If some of the projects do not show glyphs
-
- Check if the projects are connected in File ->
Subversion -> Change Source Control
- Make sure that at least the Solution and the
projects missing glyphs are connected
(Many project types do not require explicit
binding)
Check out a Solution from
Subversion
Using Open from
Subversion
- Select File -> Open -> Subversion Project
- Choose a Url from the dropdown or click the globe
icon to add a url
- Browse to the solution of your choice
- Click OK
- In the next dialog select a local folder to store the
project
- Click OK and the solution will open
automatically
Via the Repository
Explorer
- Select View -> Repository Explorer.
- When the tool window appears, choose the Plus-Folder
icon to add your repository path and click OK.
- Browse to the solution you would like to check out,
right-click and choose Checkout Folder.
- Browse to the location where you keep your working
copy and press OK (you may need to create a directory
first).
- Open the solution inside Visual Studio. You will be
asked whether to enable AnkhSVN for this solution, choose
Yes.
Starting a new
repository
- Create a Subversion repository either by using the
SVN command line tools or TortoiseSVN. The command line
syntax is:
- svnadmin create C:\myrepos
- Open the solution you wish to check-in.
- Choose View -> Solution Explorer from the Visual
Studio menu.
- From the right click menu select Ankh -> Add
solution to Subversion repository.
- Add the URL to your Subversion repository, in this
example it is "file:///c:/myrepos." Note that you may
want to check the box to create a new directory if you
want to "import" something directly into an existing
directory (specified by the URL) or a new
subdirectory.
- Once complete, you should now see green check-marks
alongside items in the Solution Explorer window.
