Seaine strode the hallways of the Tower with a growing sense of being confounded at every turn. The White Tower was quite large, true, but she had been at this for hours. She very much wanted to be snug in her own rooms. Despite casements in place in every window, drafts drifted along the broad, tapestry-hung corridors and made the stand-lamps flicker. Cold drafts, and difficult to ignore when they slipped under her skirts. Her rooms were warm and comfortable, and safe.
Maids bobbed curtsies and manservants bowed in her wake, half-seen and completely ignored. Most sisters were in their own Ajahs’ quarters, and those few out and about moved with wary pride, often in pairs, always of the same Ajah, shawls spread along their arms and displayed like banners. She smiled and nodded pleasantly to Talene, but the statuesque, golden-haired Sitter returned a hard stare, beauty carved from ice, then stalked away twitching her green-fringed shawl.
Too late now to approach Talene about being part of the search, even had Pevara been agreeable. Pevara counseled caution, then more caution, and truth to tell, Seaine was more than willing to listen under the circumstances. It was just that Talene was a friend. Had been a friend.
Talene was not the worst. Several ordinary sisters sniffed at her openly. At a Sitter! None White, of course, but that should have made no difference. No matter what was going on in the Tower, proprieties should be observed. Juilaine Madome, a tall, attractive woman with short-cut black hair who had held a chair for the Brown less than a year, brushed past her without so much as a murmur of apology and went off with those mannish strides of hers. Saerin Asnobar, another Brown Sitter, gave Seaine a fierce scowl and fingered that curved knife she always carried behind her belt before disappearing down a side corridor. Saerin was Altaran, slight touches of white at her dark temples emphasizing a thin age-faded white scar across one olive cheek, and only a Warder could match her for scowling.
Perhaps these things were all to be expected. There had been several unfortunate incidents recently, and no sister would forget being bundled unceremoniously from the hallways around another Ajah’s quarters, much less what had sometimes gone with it. Rumor said a Sitter—a Sitter!—had had more than her dignity ruffled by the Reds, though not who. A great pity the Hall could not obstruct Elaida’s mad decree, but first one Ajah, then another, had leaped on the new prerogatives, few Sitters were willing to think of giving them up now they were in place, and the result was a Tower divided very nearly into armed camps. Once Seaine had thought the air in the Tower felt like a quivering hot jelly of suspicion and backbiting; now it was quivering hot jelly with an acid bite.
Clicking her tongue in vexation, she adjusted her own white-fringed shawl as Saerin vanished. It was illogical to flinch because an Altaran scowled—even Saerin would go no further; surely not—and more than illogical to worry over what she could not change when she had a task.
And then, after all of her search that morning, she took a single step and saw her long-sought quarry walking toward her. Zerah Dacan was a slim, black-haired girl with a prideful air, properly self-possessed, and by all outward evidence untouched by the heated currents flowing through the Tower these days. Well, not a girl precisely, but Seaine was sure she had not worn that white-fringed shawl fifty years yet. She was inexperienced. Relatively inexperienced. That might help.
Zerah made no move to avoid a Sitter of her own Ajah, bowing her head in respect as Seaine fell in beside her. Quite a lot of intricate golden embroidery climbed the sleeves of her snowy dress and made a wide band at the bottom of her skirt. It was an unusual degree of show for the White Ajah. “Sitter,” she murmured. Did her blue eyes hold a touch of worry?
“I need you for something,” Seaine said more calmly than she felt. Very likely she was transplanting her own feelings into Zerah’s big eyes. “Come with me.” There was nothing to fear, not in the heart of the White Tower, but keeping her hands folded at her waist, unclenched, required surprising effort.
As expected—as hoped—Zerah went along with only another murmur, this of acquiescence. She glided at Seaine’s side quite gracefully as they descended broad marble staircases and wide curving ramps, and gave only the slightest frown when Seaine opened a door on the ground floor, onto narrow stairs that spiraled down into darkness.
“After you, sister,” Seaine said, channeling a small ball of light. By protocol, she should have preceded the other woman, but she could not bring herself to do that.
Zerah did not hesitate in going down. Logically, she had nothing to fear from a Sitter, a White Sitter. Logically, Seaine would tell her what she wanted when the time was ripe, and it would be nothing she could not do. Illogically, Seaine’s stomach fluttered like a huge moth. Light, she held saidar and the other woman did not. Zerah was weaker in any case. There was nothing to fear. Which did nothing to quiet those fluttering wings in her middle.
Down they climbed and down, past doors letting onto basements and sub-basements, until they reached the very lowest level, below even where the Accepted were tested. The dark hallway was lit only by Seaine’s small light.  Plain wooden doors lined the smooth stone walls, many with great lumps of rust for hinges and locks.
“Sitter,” Zerah asked, finally showing doubt, “whatever can we be after down here? I don’t believe anyone has been this deep for years.”
Seaine was sure her own visit, a few days earlier, had been the first to this level in at least a century. That was one of the reasons she and Pevara had chosen it. “Just in here,” she said, swinging open a door that moved with only a little squealing. No amount of oil could loosen all the rust, and efforts to use the Power had been useless. Her abilities with Earth were better than Pevara’s, but that was not saying very much.
Zerah stepped in, and blinked in surprise. In an otherwise empty room, Pevara sat behind a sturdy if rather worn table with three small benches around it. Getting those few pieces down unseen had been difficult—especially when servants could not be trusted. Clearing out the dust had been much simpler if no more pleasant, and smoothing the dust in the hall outside, necessary after every visit, had been simply onerous.
“I was about to give up sitting here in the dark,” Pevara growled. The glow of saidar surrounded her as she lifted a lantern from beneath the table and channeled it alight, casting as much illumination as the rough-walled former storeroom deserved. Somewhat plump and normally pretty, the Red Sitter looked a bear with two sore teeth. “We want to ask you a few questions, Zerah.”
Zerah’s shadowed face remained utterly calm, but she swallowed audibly. “About what, Sitters?” There was the faintest tremor in the younger woman’s voice, as well. It could be simply the mood of the Tower, though.
“The Black Ajah,” Pevara replied curtly. “We want to know whether you’re a Darkfriend.”
Amazement and outrage shattered Zerah’s calm. Most would have taken that for sufficient denial without her snapped “I don’t have to take that from you! You Reds have been setting up false Dragons for years! If you ask me, there’s no need to look further than the Red quarters to find Black sisters!”
Pevara’s face darkened with fury. Her loyalty to her Ajah was strong, which went without saying, but worse, she had lost her entire family to Darkfriends. Seaine decided to step in before Pevara resorted to brute force. They had no proof. Not yet.
“Sit, Zerah,” she said with as much warmth as she could muster. “Sit down, sister.”
Zerah turned toward the door as though she might disobey an order from a Sitter—and of her own Ajah!—but at last she settled onto one of the benches, stiffly, sitting right at the edge.
Before Seaine had finished taking a seat that placed Zerah between them, Pevara laid the ivory-white Oath Rod on the battered tabletop. Seaine sighed. They were Sitters, with a perfect right to use any ter’angreal they wished, but she had been the one to filch it—she could not help thinking of it as filching when she had observed none of the proper procedures—and the whole time, in the back of her head, she had been sure she would turn to find long-dead Sereille Bagand standing here, ready to haul her off to the Mistress of Novices’ study by her ear. Irrational, but no less real.
“We want to make sure you tell the truth,” Pevara said, still sounding like an angry bear, “so you will swear an oath on this, and then I’ll ask again.”
“I should not be subjected to this,” Zerah said with an accusing look at Seaine, “but I will re-swear all of the Oaths, if that’s what it needs to satisfy you. And I will demand an apology from you both, afterward.” She hardly sounded like a women shielded and asked such a question. Almost contemptuously, she reached for the slim, foot-long rod. It shone in the dim light of the lantern.
“You’ll swear to obey the two of us absolutely,” Pevara told her, and that hand snatched back as if from a coiled viper. Pevara went right on, even sliding the Rod closer to the woman with two fingers. “That way, we can tell you to answer truthfully and know you will, and if you give the wrong answer, we can know you’ll be obedient and helpful in helping us hunt down your Black sisters. The Rod can be used to free you of the oath, if you give the right answer.”
“To free—?” Zerah exclaimed. “I’ve never heard of anyone being loosed from an oath on the Oath Rod.”
“That is why we are taking all these precautions,” Seaine told her. “Logically, a Black sister must be able to lie, which means she must have been freed of at least that Oath and likely all three. Pevara and I tested, and found the procedure much the same as taking an oath.” She did not mention how painful it had been, though, leaving the pair of them weeping. She also did not mention that Zerah would not be freed of her oath whatever her answer, not until the search for the Black Ajah came to a conclusion. For one thing, she could not be allowed to run off and complain about this questioning, which she most certainly would, with every right, if she was not of the Black. If.
Light, but Seaine wished they had found a sister from another Ajah who fit the criteria they had set. A Green or a Yellow would have done quite nicely. That lot were overweening at the best of times, and of late . . . ! No. She was not going to fall prey to the sickness spreading through the Tower. Yet she could not help the names that flashed through her head, a dozen Greens, twice as many Yellows, and every one long past due taking down a few rungs. Sniff at a Sitter?
“You freed yourselves from one of the Oaths?” Zerah sounded startled, disgusted, uneasy, all at the same time. Perfectly reasonable responses.
“And took it again,” Pevara muttered impatiently. Snatching up the slim rod, she channeled a little Spirit into one end while maintaining Zerah’s shield. “Under the Light, I vow to speak no word that is not true. Under the Light, I vow to make no weapon for one man to kill another. Under the Light, I vow not to use the One Power as a weapon except against Shadowspawn, or in the last defense of my life, the life of my Warder, or that of another sister.” She did not grimace over the part about Warders; new sisters bound for the Red often did. “I am not a Darkfriend. I hope that satisfies you.” She showed Zerah her teeth, but whether in smile or snarl was hard to say.
Seaine retook the Oaths in turn, each producing a slight momentary pressure everywhere from her scalp to the soles of her feet. In truth, the pressure was difficult to detect at all, with her skin still feeling too tight from retaking the Oath against speaking a lie. Claiming that Pevara had a beard or that the streets of Tar Valon were paved with cheese had been strangely exhilarating for a time—even Pevara had giggled—but hardly worth the discomfort now. Testing had not really seemed necessary, to her. Logically, it must be so. Saying that she was not of the Black twisted her tongue—a vile thing to be forced to deny—but she handed Zerah the Oath Rod with a decisive nod.
 The pale lantern light made her appear ill. She looked from one of them to the other, wide-eyed, then her hands tightened on the Rod, and she nodded.
“Exactly as I said,” Pevara growled, channeling Spirit to the Rod again, “or you’ll be swearing until you have it right.”
“I vow to obey the two of you absolutely,” Zerah said in a tight voice, then shuddered as the oath took hold. It was always tighter at the first. “Ask me about the Black Ajah,” she demanded. Her hands shook holding the Rod. “Ask me about the Black Ajah!” Her intensity told Seaine the answer even before Pevara released the flow of Spirit and asked the question, commanding utter truth. “No!” Zerah practically shouted. “No, I am not Black Ajah! Now take this oath from me! Free me!”
Seaine slumped dejectedly, resting her elbows on the table. She certainly had not wanted Zerah to answer yes, but she had been sure they had found the other woman out in a lie. One lie found, or so it had seemed, after weeks of searching. How many more weeks of searching lay ahead? And of looking over her shoulder from waking to sleeping? When she managed to sleep.
Pevara stabbed an accusing finger at the woman. “You told people that you came from the north.”
Zerah’s eyes went wide again. “I did,” she said slowly. “I rode down the bank of the Erinin to Jualdhe. Now free me of this oath!” She licked her lips.
Seaine frowned at her. “Goldenthorn seeds and a red cockle-burr were found on your saddlecloth, Zerah. Goldenthorn and red cockleburr can’t be found for a hundred miles south of Tar Valon.”
Zerah leaped to her feet, and Pevara snapped, “Sit down!”
The woman dropped onto the bench with a loud smack, but she did not even wince. She was trembling. No, shaking. Her mouth was clamped shut, otherwise Seaine was sure her teeth would have been chattering. Light, the question of north or south frightened her more than an accusation of being a Darkfriend.
“From where did you start out,” Seaine asked slowly, “and why—?” She meant to ask why the woman had gone roundabout—which plainly she had—just to hide which direction she came from, but answers burst from Zerah’s mouth.
“From Salidar,” she squealed. There was no other word for it. Still clutching the Oath Rod, she writhed on her bench. Tears spilled from her eyes, eyes as wide as they would go and fixed on Pevara. Words poured out, though her teeth truly did chatter now. “I c-came to m-make sure all the sisters here know about the R-Reds and Logain, so they’ll d-depose Elaida and the T-Tower can be whole again.” With a wail she collapsed into openmouthed bawling as she stared at the Red Sitter.
“Well,” Pevara said. Then again, more grimly, “Well!” Her face was all composure, but the glitter in her dark eyes was far from the mischief Seaine remembered as novice and Accepted. “So you are the source of that . . . rumor.  Admit the lie, girl!”
If Zerah’s eyes had been wide before, they bulged now. The Rod dropped from her hands to roll across the tabletop, and she clutched her throat. A choking sound came from her suddenly gaping mouth. Pevara stared at her in shock, but suddenly Seaine understood.
“Light’s mercy,” she breathed. “You do not have to lie, Zerah.” Zerah’s legs thrashed beneath the table as if she were trying to rise and could not get her feet under her. “Tell her, Pevara. She believes it’s true! You’ve commanded her to speak the truth and to lie. Don’t look at me that way! She believes!” A bluish tinge appeared on Zerah’s lips. Her eyelids fluttered. Seaine gathered calm with both hands. “Pevara, you gave the order so apparently you must release her, or she will suffocate right in front of us.”
“She’s a rebel.” Pevara’s mutter invested that word with all the scorn it could hold. But then she sighed. “She hasn’t been tried, yet.  Zerah toppled forward and lay with her cheek pressed against the tabletop, gulping air between whimpers.
Seaine shook her head in wonder. They had not considered the possibility of conflicting oaths. What if the Black Ajah did not merely remove the Oath against lying, but replaced it with one of their own? What if they replaced all Three with their own oaths? She and Pevara would need to go very carefully if they did find a Black sister, or they might have her fall dead before they knew what the conflict was. Perhaps first a renunciation of all oaths—no way to go about it more carefully without knowing what Black sisters swore—followed by retaking the Three? Light, the pain of being loosed from everything at once would be little short of being put to the question. Maybe not short of it at all. But certainly a Darkfriend deserved that and more. If they ever found one.
Pevara glared down at the gasping woman without the slightest touch of pity on her face. “When she stands trial for rebellion, I intend to sit on her court.”
“When she is tried, Pevara,” Seaine said thoughtfully. “A pity to lose the assistance of one we know isn’t a Darkfriend. And since she is a rebel, we need not be overly concerned about using her.” There had been a number of discussions, none to a conclusion, about the second reason for leaving the new oath in place. A sister sworn to obey could be compelled—Seaine shifted uneasily; that sounded entirely too close to the forbidden vileness of Compulsion—she could be induced to help in the hunt, so long as you did not mind forcing her to accept the danger, whether she wished to or not. “I cannot think they would send only one,” she went on. “Zerah, how many of you came to spread this tale?”
“Ten,” the woman mumbled against the tabletop, then jerked erect, glaring in defiance. “I will not betray my sisters! I won’t—!” Abruptly she cut off, lips twisting bitterly as she realized she had done just that.
“Names!” Pevara barked. “Give me their names, or I will have your hide here and now!”
Names spilled from Zerah’s unwilling lips. At the command, certainly, more than the threat. Looking at Pevara’s grim face, though, Seaine was sure she needed little provocation to stripe Zerah like a novice caught stealing. Strangely, she herself did not feel the same animosity. Revulsion, yes, but clearly not as strong. The woman was a rebel who had helped break the White Tower when a sister must accept anything to keep the Tower whole, and yet . . . Very strange.
“You agree, Pevara?” she said when the list concluded. The stubborn woman gave her only a fierce nod for agreement. “Very well. Zerah, you will bring Bernaile to my rooms this afternoon.” There were two from each Ajah excepting the Blue and the Red, it seemed, but best to begin with the other White. “You will say only that I wish to speak to her on a private matter. You will give her no warning by word, deed, or omission. Then you will stand quietly and let Pevara and me do what is necessary. You are being recruited into a worthier cause than your misguided rebellion, Zerah.” Of course it was misguided. No matter how mad with power Elaida had become. “You are going to help us hunt down the Black Ajah.”
Zerah’s head jerked unwilling nods at each injunction, her face pained, but at mention of a hunt for the Black Ajah, she gasped. Light, her wits must have been totally unhinged by her experiences not to see that!
“And you will stop spreading these . . . stories,” Pevara put in sternly. “From this moment, you’ll not mention the Red Ajah and false Dragons together. Am I understood?”
Zerah’s face donned a mask of sullen stubbornness. Zerah’s mouth said, “I understand, Sitter.” She looked ready to begin weeping again from sheer frustration.
 “And compose yourself!  That last was directed at the back of the woman already darting from the table. Zerah had to pull her hands away from her hair to open the door. As the door squeaked shut behind her, Pevara snorted.  “But who will we warn if we scowl right and left at these women? At the very least, we will attract notice.”
“The way matters are, Seaine, we wouldn’t attract notice kicking them across the Tower grounds.”  “They are rebels, and I intend to hold them so hard they squeak if one of them so much as has a wrong thought!”
They went round and round about that. Seaine insisted that care in the orders they gave, leaving no loopholes, would be sufficient. Pevara pointed out that they were letting ten rebels—ten!—walk the Tower’s halls unpunished. Seaine said they would face punishment eventually, and Pevara growled that eventually was not soon enough. Seaine had always admired the other woman’s strength of will, but really, sometimes it was pure stubbornness.
A faint creak from a hinge was all the warning Seaine had to snatch the Oath Rod into her lap, hiding it in folds of her skirt as the door opened wide. She and Pevara embraced the Source almost as one.
Saerin walked into the room calmly, holding a lantern, and stood aside for Talene, who was followed by tiny Yukiri, with a second light, and boyishly slim Doesine, tall for a Cairhienin, who closed the door quite firmly and settled her back against it as if to keep anyone from leaving. Four Sitters, representing all the remaining Ajahs in the Tower. They seemed to ignore the fact that Seaine and Pevara held saidar. Suddenly, to Seaine, the room felt rather crowded. Imagination, and irrational, but . . .
“Strange to see the pair of you together,” Saerin said. Her face might be serene, but she slid fingers along the hilt of that curved knife behind her belt. She had held her chair forty years, longer than anyone else in the Hall, and everyone had learned to be careful of her temper.
“We might say the same of you,” Pevara replied dryly. Saerin’s temper never upset her. “Or did you come down here to help Doesine try to get some of her own back?” A sudden flush made the Yellow’s face look even more that of a pretty boy despite her elegant bearing, and told Seaine which Sitter had strayed too near the Red quarters with unfortunate results. “I wouldn’t have thought that would bring you together, though. Greens at Yellows’ throats, Browns at Grays’. Or did you just bring them down for a quiet duel, Saerin?”
Frantically, Seaine cast around for what reason would have these four this deep into the bedrock of Tar Valon. What could tie them together? Their Ajahs—all of the Ajahs—truly were at one another’s throats. All four had been handed penances by Elaida. No Sitter could enjoy Labor, especially when everyone knew exactly why she was scrubbing floors or pots, yet that was hardly a bond. What else? None were nobly born. Saerin and Yukiri were the daughters of innkeepers, Talene of farmers, while Doesine’s father had been a cutler. Saerin had been trained first by the Daughters of Silence, the only one of that lot to reach the shawl. Absolutely useless drivel. Suddenly, something did strike her, and dried her throat. Saerin with her temper often barely in rein. Doesine, who had actually run away three times as a novice, though she had only once made it as far as the bridges. Talene, who might have earned more punishments than any other novice in the history of the Tower. Yukiri, always the last Gray to join her sisters’ consensus when she wanted to go another way, the last to join the Hall’s, for that matter. All four were considered rebels, in a way, and Elaida had humiliated every one. Could they be thinking they had made a mistake, standing to depose Siuan and raise Elaida? Could they have found about Zerah and the others? And if so, what did they intend to do?
Mentally, Seaine prepared herself to weave saidar, though without much hope that she could escape. Pevara matched Saerin and Yukiri in strength, but she herself was weaker than any here save Doesine. She prepared herself, and Talene stepped forward and burst all of her logical deductions to flinders.
“Yukiri noticed you two sneaking about together, and we want to know why.” Her surprisingly deep voice held heat despite the ice that seemed to coat her face. “Did the heads of your Ajahs set you a secret task? In public, the Ajahs’ heads snarl at one another worse than anyone else, but they’ve been sneaking off into corners to talk, it seems. Whatever they’re scheming, the Hall has a right to know.”
“Oh, do give over, Talene.” Yukiri’s voice was always an even bigger surprise than Talene’s. The woman looked a miniature queen, in dark silver silk with ivory lace, but she sounded a comfortable country woman. She claimed the contrast helped in negotiations. She smiled at Seaine and Pevara, a monarch perhaps unsure how gracious she should be. “I saw the pair of you sniffing about like ferrets at the hencoop,” she said, “but I held my tongue—you might be pillow friends, for all I know, and whose business is that but yours?—I held my tongue till Talene here started yelping about who’s been huddling in corners.  Sometimes six and six make a dozen, and sometimes they make a mess. Tell us if you can, now. The Hall does have a right.”
“We are not leaving until you do tell,” Talene put in even more heatedly than before.
Pevara snorted and folded her arms. “If the head of my Ajah spoke two words to me, I’d see no reason to tell you what they were. As it happens, what Seaine and I were discussing has nothing to do with the Red or the White. Snoop elsewhere.” But she did not release saidar. Neither did Seaine.

Seaine would have stood to leave if she had not feared her knees would betray her. Pevara did stand, and raised an impatient eyebrow at the women between her and the door.
Saerin fingered her knife hilt and eyed them quizzically, not shifting a step. “A puzzle,” she murmured. Suddenly she glided forward, her free hand dipping into Seaine’s lap so quickly that Seaine gasped. She tried to keep the Oath Road hidden, but the only result was that she ended with Saerin holding the Rod waist high with one hand while she held the other end and a fistful of her skirts. “I enjoy puzzles,” Saerin said.
Seaine let go and adjusted her dress; there seemed nothing else to do.
The appearance of the Rod produced a momentary babble as nearly everyone spoke at once.
“Blood and fire,” Doesine growled.  “Whatever they’re up to, it’s their own business.”
Atop both, Talene barked, “Why else are they sneaking about—together!—if it isn’t to do with the Ajah heads?”
Saerin waved a hand, and after a moment gained quiet. All present were Sitters, but she had the right to speak first in the Hall, and her forty years counted for something, too. “This is the key to the puzzle, I think,” she said, stroking the Rod with her thumb. “Why this, after all?” Abruptly the glow of saidar surrounded her, too, and she channeled Spirit to the Rod. “Under the Light, I will speak no word that is not true. I am not a Darkfriend.”
In the silence that followed, a mouse sneezing would have sounded loud.
“Am I right?” Saerin said, releasing the Power. She held the Rod out toward Seaine.
For the third time, Seaine retook the Oath against lying, and for the second time repeated that she was not of the Black. Pevara did the same with frozen dignity. And eyes sharp as an eagle’s.
“This is ridiculous,” Talene said. “There is no Black Ajah.”
Yukiri took the Rod from Pevara and channeled. “Under the Light, I will speak no word that is not true. I am not Black Ajah.” The light of saidar around her winked out, and she handed the Rod to Doesine.
Talene frowned in disgust. “Stand aside, Doesine. I for one will not put up with this filthy suggestion.”
“Under the Light, I will speak no word that is not true,” Doesine said almost reverently, the glow around her like a halo. “I am not of the Black Ajah.” When matters were serious, her tongue was as clean as any Mistress of Novices could have wished. She extended the Rod to Talene.
The golden-haired woman started back as from a poisonous snake. “Even to ask this is a slander. Worse than slander!” Something feral moved in her eyes. An irrational thought, perhaps, but that was what Seaine saw. “Now move out of my way,” Talene demanded with all the authority of a Sitter in her voice. “I am leaving!”
“I think not,” Pevara said quietly, and Yukiri nodded slowly in agreement. Saerin did not stroke her knife hilt; she gripped it till her knuckles went white.
Riding through the deep snows of Andor, floundering through them, Toveine Gazal cursed the day she was born. Short and slightly plump, with smooth copper skin and long glossy dark hair, she had seemed pretty to many over the years, but none had ever called her beautiful. Certainly none would now. The dark eyes that had once been direct now bored into whatever she looked at. That was when she was not angry. She was angry today. When Toveine was angry, serpents fled.
Four other Reds rode—floundered—at her back, and behind them twenty of the Tower Guard in dark coats and cloaks. None of the men liked it that their armor was stowed away on the packhorses, and they watched the forest lining both sides of the road as though expecting attack any moment. How they thought to cross three hundred miles of Andor unnoticed, wearing coats and cloaks with the Flame of Tar Valon shining bright on them, Toveine could not imagine. The journey was almost done, though. In another day, perhaps two with roads knee-deep in snow on the horses, she would join with nine other parties exactly like hers. Not all of the sisters in them were Red, unfortunately, but that did not trouble her overmuch. Toveine Gazal, once a Sitter for the Red, would go into the histories as the woman who destroyed this Black Tower.
She was sure Elaida thought her grateful for the chance, called back from exile and disgrace, given the opportunity for redemption. She sneered, and if a wolf had been looking into the deep hood of her cloak, it might have quailed.  It had been necessary and right, but Toveine Gazal had been driven from her chair in the Hall, and forced to howl for mercy under the birch, with the assembled sisters watching, and even novices and Accepted witnessing that Sitters, too, lay beneath the law, though they were not told what law. And then she had been sent to work these last twenty years on the isolated Black Hills farm of Mistress Jara Doweel, a woman who considered an Aes Sedai serving penance in exile no different from any other hand laboring in sun and snow. Toveine’s hands shifted on her reins; she could feel the calluses. Mistress Doweel—even now, she could not think of the woman without the honorific she had demanded—Mistress Doweel believed in hard work. And discipline as tight as any novice faced!  That had been Toveine’s life these past twenty years. And Elaida had slipped through the cracks uncaught, danced her way to the Amyrlin Seat that Toveine had once dreamed of for herself. No, she was not grateful. But she had learned to wait her chance.
 “There’s no point struggling,” he announced firmly, raising a gloved hand. “Surrender peacefully, and no one will be hurt.”
It was neither his appearance nor his words that made Toveine rein up short, letting the other sisters gather beside her. “Take him,” she said calmly. “You had better link. He has me shielded.” It seemed one of these Asha’man had come to her. How convenient of him.
Abruptly she realized that nothing was happening and took her eyes from the fellow to frown at Jenare. The woman’s pale, square face seemed absolutely bloodless. “Toveine,” she said unsteadily, “I also am shielded.”
“I am shielded, too,” Lemai breathed in disbelief, and the others chimed in, increasingly frantic. All shielded.
More men in black coats appeared from among the trees, their horses stepping slowly, all around. Toveine stopped counting at fifteen. The Guards muttered angrily, waiting on a sister’s command. They knew nothing yet except that a band of rogues had waylaided them. Toveine clicked her tongue in irritation. These men could not all channel, of course, but apparently every Asha’man who could do so had come against her. She did not panic. Unlike some of the sisters with her, these were not the first men who channeled that she had confronted. The tall man began riding toward her, smiling, apparently thinking they had obeyed his ridiculous order.
“At my command,” she said quietly, “we will break in every direction. As soon as you are far enough away that the man loses the shield,” men always thought they had to be able to see to hold their weaves, which meant that they did have to, “turn back and help the Guards. Ready yourselves.” She raised her voice to a shout. “Guardsmen, fight them!”
Roaring, the Guardsmen surged forward, waving their swords and no doubt thinking to surround and protect the sisters. Pulling her mare around to the right, Toveine dug in her heels and crouched low over Sparrow’s neck, dodging between startled Guardsmen, then between two very young men in black coats who gaped at her in astonishment. Then she was into the trees, urging more speed, snow spraying wildly, careless of whether the mare broke a leg. She liked the animal, but more than a horse would die today. Behind her, shouts. And one voice, roaring through all the cacophony. The tall man’s voice.
“Take them alive, by order of the Dragon Reborn! Harm an Aes Sedai, and you’ll answer to me!”
By order of the Dragon Reborn. For the first time, Toveine felt fear, an icicle worming into her middle. The Dragon Reborn. She thrashed Sparrow’s neck with the reins. The shield was still on her! Surely there were enough trees between them already to block the cursed men’s sight of her! Oh, Light, the Dragon Reborn!
She grunted as something struck her across the middle, a branch where there was no branch, snatching her out of the saddle. She hung there watching Sparrow plow off at as much of a gallop as the snow allowed. She hung there. In the middle of the air, arms trapped at her sides, feet dangling a pace or more above the ground. She swallowed. Hard.  She had never been touched by saidin before. She could feel the thick band of nothing snug around her middle. She thought she could feel the Dark One’s taint. She quivered, fighting down screams.
 He did not seem particularly interested in the Aes Sedai he had captured, though. “Hardlin!” he shouted. “Norley! Kajima!
He was very tall, with shoulders an axe-handle wide. That was how Mistress Doweel would have put it. Just short of his middle years, handsome in a brooding, rugged fashion. Not at all like the pretty boys Toveine liked, eager and grateful and so easily controlled. A silver sword decorated the tall collar of his black wool coat on one side, with a peculiar creature in gold and red enamel on the other. He was a man who could channel. And he had her shielded and a prisoner.
The shriek that burst from her throat startled even her. She would have held it back if she could, but another leaped out behind it, higher still, and another even higher, another and another. Kicking wildly, she flung herself from side to side. Useless against the Power. She knew that, but only in a tiny corner of her mind. The rest of her howled at the top of her lungs, howled wordless pleas for rescue from the Shadow. Screaming, she struggled like a mad beast.
Dimly she was aware of his horse plunging and dancing as her heels drummed its shoulder. Dimly she heard the man talking. “Easy, you lump-eared sack of coal! Calm down, sister. I’m not going to—Easy, you spavined mule! Light! My apologies, sister, but this is how we learn to do it.” And then he kissed her.
She had only a heartbeat to realize his lips were touching hers, then sight vanished, and warmth flooded through her. More than warmth. She was melted honey inside, bubbling honey, rushing toward the boil. She was a harpstring, vibrating faster and faster, vibrating to invisibility and faster still. She was a thin crystal vase, quivering on the brink of shattering. The harpstring broke; the vase shattered.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
At first, she did not realize that sound had come from her gaping mouth. For a moment, she could not think coherently. Panting, she stared up at the male face above her, wondering who it belonged to. Yes. The tall man. The man who could—
“I could have done without the extra bit,” he sighed, patting the horse’s neck; the animal snorted, but it no longer leaped about, “yet I suppose it is necessary. You’re hardly a wife. Be calm.  Now, what’s your name?”
Unless he gave permission? The effrontery of the man! “Toveine Gazal,” she said, and blinked. Now, why had she answered him?
“There you are,” another black-coated man said, splashing his horse through the snow to them. This one would be much more to her liking—if he could not actually channel, at least. She doubted this pink-cheeked lad shaved more than twice in the week. “Light, Logain!” the pretty boy exclaimed. “Did you take a second one? The M’Hael won’t like that! I don’t think he likes us taking any! Maybe it won’t matter, though, you two being so close and all.”
“Close, Vinchova?” Logain said wryly. “If the M’Hael had his way, I’d be hoeing turnips with the new boys. Or buried under the field,” he added in a mutter she did not think he meant to be heard.
However much he heard, the pretty boy laughed with incredulous disbelief. Toveine barely heard him. She was gazing up at the man looming over her. Logain. The false Dragon. But he was dead! Stilled and dead! And holding her before his saddle with a casual hand. Why was she not screaming, or striking at him? Even her belt knife would do, this near. Yet she had no desire at all to reach for the ivory haft. She could, she realized. That band around her middle was gone. She could at least slip down off the horse and try to—She had no desire to do that, either.
“What did you do to me?” she demanded. Calmly. At least she had managed to hold on to that!
Turning his horse to ride back to the road, Logain told her what he had done, and she put her head against that wide chest, not caring at all how big he was, and wept. She was going to make Elaida pay for this, she vowed. If Logain ever let her, she would. That last was an especially bitter thought.

This value is provided so the reasons for why a current limit (either Charge Current Limit or Discharge Current Limit are being reduced by the BMS from the maximum allowable current.
These reasons include:
DCL Reduced Due To Low SOC (Bit #0)
DCL Reduced Due To High Cell Resistance (Bit #1)
DCL Reduced Due To Temperature (Bit #2)
DCL Reduced Due To Low Cell Voltage (Bit #3)
DCL Reduced Due To Low Pack Voltage (Bit #4)
DCL and CCL Reduced Due To Voltage Failsafe (Bit #6)
DCL and CCL Reduced Due To Communication Failsafe (Bit #7): This only applies if there are multiple BMS units connected together in series over CANBUS.
CCL Reduced Due To High SOC (Bit #9)
CCL Reduced Due To High Cell Resistance (Bit #10)
CCL Reduced Due To Temperature (Bit #11)
CCL Reduced Due To High Cell Voltage (Bit #12)
CCL Reduced Due To High Pack Voltage (Bit #13)
CCL Reduced Due To Charger Latch (Bit #14): This means the CCL is likely 0A because the charger has been turned off. This latch is removed when the Charge Power signal is removed and re-applied (ie: unplugging the car and plugging it back in).
CCL Reduced Due To Alternate Current Limit [MPI] (Bit #15)
Note: Having one or more of these limiting reasons active is common and does not indicate that there is a problem with the battery pack or BMS.

He [Ibrahim (Abraham)] said: "Yes (I believe), but to be stronger in Faith."

Oregon is seeing an increase in incidents of discrimination and harassment related to the COVID-19 virus. It is important that all people, businesses, and other organizations act on facts, not bias or xenophobia. Health officials confirm there are no links between COVID-19 infection and a person’s race, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, ability, or national origin. COVID-19 can infect anyone who is exposed to it, and anyone can spread COVID-19.

In consideration of staffing challenges and health concerns due to COVID-19, Governor Kate Brown announced a statewide closure of Oregon K-12 schools from Monday, March 16 through Tuesday, April 28.
OHA knows we are asking a lot of Oregonians in order to protect those who are particularly vulnerable to this virus, and there is a lot of fear and anxiety in our communities. Educators are the heart of our schools, which in turn are the heart of our communities. In the wake of COVID-19’s arrival in Oregon, our schools are facing operational and business challenges.
We stand with the governor and our education partners as they make difficult decisions in response to these operational challenges in their school communities.
In partnership with OHA, the Early Learning Division (ELD) has created new tools for addressing concerns in child care around COVID-19.

ORDINARY PEOPLE A film review by Walter Frith Copyright 1997 Walter Frith
Comments on this review may also be sent to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>In the motion picture industry it's not easy to win an Academy Award for your first effort on screen, especially if you hapen to be the film's director but that's exactly what happened to Robert Redford as his emotional and psychological drama 'Ordinary People' walked away with additional Oscars for Best Supporting Actor (Timothy Hutton), Best Screenplay Adaptation (Alvin Sargent based on Judith Guest's novel) and the most distinguished prize, Best Picture of 1980.
The film starts off simple, almost non-effective and tells the story of an upper class family whose struggle to stay together is constantly tested after the eldest son dies at sea in a boating accident. Donald Sutherland and Mary Tyler Moore portray the parents and Timothy Hutton is their only remaining son who was on the boat with his elder brother who died. Hutton's character develops a mind bending trauma based on self created guilt and a confusion of conscience and seeks help from a psychiatrist (Judd Hirsch) for his problems.
As 'Ordinary People' progresses there is a steady deterioration of the relationship between Moore and Hutton as their mother and son relationship takes a turn for the worst every time they are forced to be close together as one example points out when the family is visiting other relatives for a gathering and Hutton stands with his arms folded in front of his body when near his mother as she feels uncomfortable about having a picture taken with her son because deep down, there is unjust resentment towards him for the accident previously mentioned.
'Ordinary People' becomes a fascinating and grand character study each minute more its on screen and concludes with what is a debatable ending of whether or not the characters involved can truly get on with their lives in an 'ordinary' fashion. One of the truly stunning and deeply moving films of the 1980's.

My name is Barrie Callender and I originally wrote the Workpattern rubygem to learn Ruby and then how to write Ruby properly. I’m still working on that second part.
Workpattern is a rubygem that performs calculations using dates and durations down to a minute. It can be used to setup working and resting periods down to a minute. It can then calculate a date by adding or subtracting a duration from it, or calculate a duration by subtracting one date from another. Most busines day calculation library only allow for one week, but Workpattern allows you to set up a basic working weeks and then change individual days or weeks to show a two week holiday, a public holday or working a weekend.
The original Workpattern v0.0.1 was released on July 25, 2009. I am writing this on 21st February 2021 and the most recent 0.5.0 version was released on Octoner 19, 2016. However, I am about to release version 0.6.0 which has had a big rewrite to begin to untangle the mess it was in. It is faster and the code is now easier to read than it was. It still needs to improve before I begin to add features.
I hope to use this site to provide some examples of how one could use this rubygem, and along the way I hope to become better at programming Ruby. I also hope to learn more about Jekyll which this site runs on.
I’m also interested in learning the Elixir programming language and maybe develop the Workpattern library for it.
We’ll see.

Leicester back in third after 2-0 win at Palace
Leicester City underlined their Premier League top-four credentials as goals by Caglar Soyuncu and Jamie Vardy sealed a clinical 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
LONDON: Leicester City underlined their Premier League top-four credentials as goals by Caglar Soyuncu and Jamie Vardy sealed a clinical 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Soyuncu, who has replaced centre back Harry Maguire this season, broke the deadlock when he headed in James Maddison's 57th-minute corner for his first Leicester goal.
Leicester never looked like relinquishing their lead and Vardy added some late gloss with his 10th goal of the season.
As impressive as last week's 9-0 win at 10-man Southampton was, Sunday's display was perhaps more meaningful in terms of Leicester's ambitions this season.
Palace could have gone fifth with a win but Leicester were in control throughout and thoroughly deserved a third successive league victory to put them back above Chelsea into third place on goal difference with 23 points from 11 games.
They are only two points behind champions Manchester City, who are in second place, and six above fifth-placed Arsenal.
While Leicester's slick attack has made the headlines in the past week, they have conceded only eight goals in the league this season and keeper Kasper Schmeichel had a quiet day.
What is more, in terms of Premier League wins since Brendan Rodgers took over after the sacking of Claude Puel eight months ago, only Liverpool and Man City have won more league games.
"The creativity and attacking talent we have is incredible," Vardy, who leads the Premier League scoring charts, said. "We have so many options and it can only benefit us."
After an even first half of few chances, Leicester looked the more likely side to score after the break, especially from the set piece deliveries of Maddison.
From one Maddison corner Jonny Evans forced a fine save by Vicente Guaita and from the next, the ball flashed across the area where Soyuncu stooped to score.
Leicester's second in the 88th minute was a great team effort that oozed class.
The outstanding Youri Tielemans found Vardy who then played a one-two with Demarai Gray before peeling off and slotting a left-foot shot past Guaita.
Leicester could have made it 3-0 in stoppage time when Ben Chilwell hit the post from a tight angle.
Palace boss Roy Hodgson said he had seen enough to suggest Leicester can sustain their challenge.
"They carry a very clear goal threat and that's a major difference," he said. "The service (Vardy) is getting now and the ability of the midfield to keep the ball is elevating them to a team in the top four.
"They are in the top four on merit. That's how well they're playing."

Install PixieGateway¶
Local Install¶
If you want to demo PixieApp publishing locally, follow these instructions. If you’d rather deploy your application to the cloud, see the section below on using Kubernetes on Bluemix.
To start, install the pixiegateway package from PyPi. On the command line, run the following: (Note: PixieGateway supports both Python 2.7 and 3.x)
pip install pixiegateway
Then you can start the PixieGateway with a simple command:
jupyter pixiegateway --port <portnumber>
Example output:
dtaieb$ jupyter pixiegateway --port 8899
[PixieGatewayApp] Kernel started: b5be0b3b-a018–4ace-95d1-d94b556a0bfe
kernel client initialized
[PixieGatewayApp] Jupyter Kernel Gateway at http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8899
Now, go to http://localhost:<portnumber>/pixieapps
to review and use your apps.
[optional] Running PixieGateway in Kubernetes on IBM Bluemix¶
If you’re new to Kubernetes on the IBM Bluemix container service, read this intro article that explains the basics of using the service with the bx
and kubectl
command-line tools.
Here are the steps to install PixieGateway using Kubernetes on Bluemix:
- Download the Kubernetes CLI and the Bluemix CLI.
bx login [-sso] -a https://api.ng.bluemix.net
bx target -o <YOUR_ORG> -s <YOUR_SPACE>
bx plugin install container-service -r Bluemix
bx cs init
- If not already done, create a cluster:
bx cs cluster-create --name my-cluster
- Verify that the cluster is correctly created (this may take a few minutes):
bx cs clusters
- Download the cluster config:
bx cs cluster-config my-cluster
- Run the export command returned by the command above, e.g.,
export KUBECONFIG=/Users/dtaieb/.bluemix/plugins/container-service/clusters/davidcluster/kube-config-hou02-davidcluster.yml
- Create the deployment:
kubectl create -f https://github.com/ibm-watson-data-lab/pixiegateway/raw/master/etc/deployment.yml
- Create the service:
kubectl create -f https://github.com/ibm-watson-data-lab/pixiegateway/raw/master/etc/service.yml
- Verify the pods:
kubectl get pods
- Verify the nodes:
kubectl get nodes
- Verify the services:
kubectl get services
- Finally, you can get the public ip address of the server:
bx cs workers my-cluster
- To check that the install worked, enter the following URL in your browser:
http://<publicIP>:32222/pixieapps
. You’ll be able to interact with your PixieApp-published web apps from there.
- Optional: In the future, if you need to update the PixieGateway version, you do not have to retrace the previous steps. Instead, simply delete the Kubernetes pod, which will cause Docker to restart and automatically pull down a new version of PixieDust, like so:
kubectl delete pod <name>
. Here,<name>
is the pod’s name obtained with the command:kubectl get pods
.
Note
The deployed PixieApps are not stored in a persisted volume, so deleting the pod will also delete them, and you’ll have to re-publish.


SpriteSheet extends Sprite and has, besides the texture,
even a viewport and acts as a Texture Atlas.
With slideViewport the viewport slides over the current row of the texture atlas.

Set the current loop count.
This specif how often the whole Animation is played.
A value of < 0 means: infinite playing.
final pure nothrow void setTickOffset(ushort offset);
Set the current tick offset.
This is the offset between each animation / slide.
Default is 0.
final bool execute(Grid grid = Grid.Both);
Execute the animation N times where N is the number of the current loop count.
If N is < 0, the animation runs infinite.
Returns if the loop is still running.
See:
Grid
final void slideTextureRect(Grid grid = Grid.Both);
Slide/move the current Viewport of the Texture.
So the next area of the Texture atlas will be drawn.
With grid you can decide if both, x and y, or only one of them are updated.
Default both are updated.

java MyClass.class
to start an
application, must implement the main method. The main method has
the following signature public static void main(String[]
args)
. If you wish your model to be executable then you need
to implement this method in your code. The method itself will look
something like:
public static void main(String[] args) {
SimInit init = new SimInit();
HeatBugsModel model = new HeatBugsModel();
init.loadModel(model, null, false);
}
This code creates an instance of the SimInit class (the same class
with which you can load your models on the command line), and
instance of the model itself. It then uses SimInit to load the
model via the loadModel method. The second and third parameters of
the loadModel method specify a parameter file and whether or not
the model is a batch model. You can either pass values to these
parameters via the args array or if you know that this model is a
batch model, you can specify the method parameters directly. The
following is an example of the later.
public static void main(String[] args) {
SimInit init = new SimInit();
EnnBatchModel model = new EnnBatchModel();
init.loadModel(model, "./EnnParams.txt", true);
}
This code snippet is from EnnBatchModel.java in the enn demo (see
repast/demo/enn). Here we create an instance of SimInit and the
model as above. We then pass a parameter file path and a value of
true to the second and third arguments of the loadModel method.
With these parameters SimInit would load EnnBatchModel in batch
mode, and read the parameters from the EnnParams.txt file.
If you wish to parse the arguments in the args parameter of the main method and pass them to the loadModel, the following shoudl help. For a command line of:
java -cp c:\repast\lib\repast.jar;. MyModel param.pf true
args[0] = param.pf and args[1] = true. And knowing this it should
not be hard to parse args[] and extract the appropriate values to
pass to the loadModel method.
Main-Class: uchicago.src.sim.heatBugs.HeatBugsModel
Class-Path: ../../lib/repast.jar ../../lib/trove.jar ../../lib/colt.jar
../../lib/jgl3.1.0.jar ../../lib/excelaccessor_Runtime.jar ../../lib/jmf.jar
../../lib/jcchart.jar ../../lib/junit.jar ../../lib/plot.jar
../../lib/xerces.jar
The Class-Path:
entries should all be one line. Here
the main class is uchicago.src.sim.heatBugs.HeatBugsModel and it
requires the specified classpath in order to execute correctly. The
class path is space delimited here, and the paths of the jar files
are defined relative to the bugs.jar file. In this case two
directories above the repast/demo/bugs directory in the repast/lib
directory. With this manifest file in the bugs.jar archive, we
execute the heatbugs simulation with java -jar
bugs.jar
. This has the added benefit of making the jar file
executable when double click under windows. Given the above
manifest file, this is directly equivalent to:
java -cp ./bugs.jar;../../lib/repast.jar;../../lib/trove.jar;
../../lib/colt.jar; ../../lib/jgl3.1.0.jar;
../../lib/excelaccessor_Runtime.jar;../../lib/jmf.jar;
../../lib/jcchart.jar;../../lib/junit.jar;../../lib/plot.jar;
../../lib/xerces.jar uchicago.src.sim.heatBugs.HeatBugsModel
(Note that as of Repast v.1.3, you no longer start models this way.
repast.jar itself contains a manifest file that specifies a
classpath containing all the other required jar files. So instead
of the above, you can do java -cp
./bugs.jar;../../lib/repast.jar
uchicago.src.sim.heatBugs.HeatBugsModel
.)
Once you've written your manifest file, you need to include it in your jar. If you haven't yet created your jar file, you can do this all in one step with the 'jar' utility that comes with the java development kit.
jar cfvm my_model.jar mymanifest my_model_dir
where my_model.jar is the name of the jar file you are creating,
mymanifest is the manifest file you've created and my_model_dir
is the directory for your actual model. So for heatbugs this looks
like:
jar cfvm bugs.jar bugs_manifest uchicago/src/sim/heatBugs
If your model is in a package (as it should be) its important to
jar it from the directory above the first package directory. In the
heatbugs case I would run the jar command from the directory in
which the uchicago directory resided.
If you already have your classes in a jar file and just want to add the manifest file, replace the 'c' in the above command with a 'u'.
You can inspect the contents of your jar file with jar -tf
name_of_jar_file
. Your manifest won't be included in
the jar itself as its contents are actually copied into the
MANIFEST.MF file.
For more information run the jar utility with no arguments and see Sun's jar tutorial
public void
stop()
and public void pause
. You can call these
methods from within the model to stop or pause it. Like any other
public method, this methods are schedulable so you can schedule
your model to pause (or stop) at particular intervals or at
specified ticks. For example,
int pauseTick = -1;
...
private void buildSchedule() {
schedule.scheduleActionAt(pauseTick, this, "pause", Schedule.LAST);
...
}
public void setPauseTick(int val) {
pauseTick = val;
schedule.scheduleActionAt(pauseTick, this, "pause", Schedule.LAST);
}
public int getPauseTick() {
return pauseTick;
}
will allow you to schedule pauses through the gui.
CustomProbeable
interface
only those parameters whose names are returned in the String[] from
CustomProbeable.getProbedProperties()
will be
displayed. For example,
public class MyAgent implements CustomProbeable {
private int age;
...
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public void setAge(int val) {
age = val;
}
public String[] getProbedProperties() {
return new String[] {"Age"};
}
}
When probed MyAgent classes will now only display the
"Age" parameter.
public void setup() {
...
Controller c = (Controller)this.getController();
c.addButton("Help", new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
showHelp();
}
});
}
Controller has three new methods for adding custom buttons to the
toolbar. Using the addButton methods you can add a JButton
directly, specify a label and an ActionListener, or specify the
path to an Icon and an ActionListener. The above code snippet will
add new a JButton with the label "Help" to the toolbar
and call the showHelp method whenever it is clicked. You must add
new buttons in your model's setup() method otherwise they will
not appear in the toolbar.
If you don't understand how to work with JButtons, and ActionListeners, you should learn a bit about the Java's Swing gui toolkit before adding custom buttons to the toolbar.
Controller c = (Controller)this.getController();
c.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent evt) {
if (evt.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_K) {
System.out.println("k key typed");
}
}
});
will print "k key typed" to the console whenever the
toolbar (i.e. the Controller) has focus and the "k" key
is pressed. To perform the same action when a DisplaySurface has
focus, you'd replace the reference to the Controller with one
to your DisplaySurface. So,
myDisplaySurface.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent evt) {
if (evt.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_K) {
System.out.println("k key typed");
}
}
});
Typically you place this sort code to the setup() method in your
model. This ensures that you can listener for key events before
your simluation begins to run. Note that KeyAdapter and KeyEvent
are in the java.awt.event package, so you'll have to import
them into your model. Adding KeyListeners in this way is standard
Java and any Java book can provide more details.
Controller c = (Controller)this.getController();
c.addStartListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
System.out.println("start");
}
});
This code listens for start button clicks and prints
"start" to the console whenever a start button click
occurs. Each button has its own add listener method so
addStopListener will add code for execution on stop button clicks,
addPauseListener for pause button clicks and so on. If you wish to
know which button has been clicked (assuming you've got the
same listener listening to more than one button), the button's
actionCommand reports the buttons name. For example, the code
Controller c = (Controller)this.getController();
c.addStartListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
javax.swing.JButton b = (javax.swing.JButton)evt.getSource();
System.out.println(b.getActionCommand());
}
});
will print "start", the Start button's action
command, to the console. The exit button's action command is
"exit", pause is "pause" and so on. Adding
listeners to buttons in this way is standard Java and any good book
on Java can tell you more.
You can update an Object's probe panel using ProbeUtilities.updateProbePanel(Object object) method. The object here is the object whose probe panel you wish to update. So, for example, we could implement the above scenario where a change to parameter X, changed the value of parameter y and we want the parameter (probe) window to display the new value of y, as follows:
public void setX(int val) {
x = val;
setY(val / 2);
ProbeUtilities.updateProbePanel(this);
}
public void setY(int val) {
y = val;
}
...
This is also useful for turning various exclusive boolean switches
on and off in response to others being set on.
See the API documentation for the ProbeUtilities class for more.
Controller.UPDATE_PROBES = true;
This will update all probes except for that on the model. To update
the model probe, you'll have to call
ProbeUtilities.updateModelProbePanel. Updating the
model's probe is computationally expensive.
Note that updating probes will slow down your model although considerably less in java 1.4 vs. previous version of java.
System.out
) and stderr
(errors written to System.err
) can be redirected to
The Repast Console. The Repast Console can be turned on or off via
the GUI and in code. To turn it on/off via the GUI, switch to the
Repast actions tab panel and click on "Stdout to Console"
or "Stderr to Console" to either one on or off. Note that
if they are both off then the Repast Console will not appear. To do
this in code, you need to set the flags
AbstractGUIController.CONSOLE_OUT and
AbstractGUIController.CONSOLE_ERR. For example,
AbstractGUIController.CONSOLE_ERR = false;
AbstractGUIController.CONSOLE_OUT = false;
You can do this in the constructor of your model.


Every educational course begins with goals that can be broken down into concise statements about what students will understand or be able to do when they complete the course. These statements are known as Learning Objectives. Well formulated learning objectives not only help communicate to students what to expect from a lesson, but also aid the teacher in preparing lecture and assignment materials and facilitate construction of in-class and out-of-class activities, and aid in designing course assessments and rubrics.
Learning objectives should define observable behavior that can be measured. Although “learning” and “understanding” are worthy instructional goals, they are not observable or measurable. However, a student’s ability to “organize”, “label”, or “explain” is measurable.
Well-written learning objectives typically include three main elements:
“Given a diagram of the water cycle, student will identify at least three sources of ground water recharge with a definition of each source and description of how it functions in the larger water cycle”

Public: Handles parsing AsciiDoc attribute lists into a Hash of key/value pairs. By default, attributes must each be separated by a comma and quotes may be used around the value. If a key is not detected, the value is assigned to a 1-based positional key, The positional attributes can be “rekeyed” when given a posattrs array either during parsing or after the fact.
Examples

Loads a hardware generated random value and store it in the destination register. The size of the random value is determined by the destination register size and operating mode. The Carry Flag indicates whether a random value is available at the time the instruction is executed. CF=1 indicates that the data in the destination is valid. Other-wise CF=0 and the data in the destination operand will be returned as zeros for the specified width. All other flags are forced to 0 in either situation. Software must check the state of CF=1 for determining if a valid random value has been returned, otherwise it is expected to loop and retry execution of RDRAND (see Intel® 64 and IA-32 Archi-tectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 1, Section 7.3.17, “Random Number Generator Instructions”).
This instruction is available at all privilege levels.
In 64-bit mode, the instruction's default operation size is 32 bits. Using a REX prefix in the form of REX.B permits access to additional registers (R8-R15). Using a REX prefix in the form of REX.W promotes operation to 64 bit oper-ands. See the summary chart at the beginning of this section for encoding data and limits.

Setting for the vise.yaml¶
In vise
, users can control various types of parameters using vise.yaml
file.
For example, we provide the default POTCAR
set regularly we use, but users can adopt their favorite POTCAR
set,
by setting potcar_set
key as follows
potcar_set: Mg_pv O_h
Then, the Mg_pv and O_h POTCAR
files are used instead of the normal Mg and O POTCAR
files in vise.
Note that vise try to find the vise.yaml
file from the current working directory to the parent directly up to the home or root directory.
And once it is found only the file is read and others locating in the parent directories are ignored.
Therefore, when vise.yaml
is located only at the top directory of the project, the parameters are always used.
The keys for vise.yaml
are
| name | type | explanation |
|---|---|---|
| vasp_cmd | str/list | Vasp commands |
| symprec | float | Distance precision in angstrom used for symmetry analysis. |
| angle_tolerance | float | Angle tolerance in angstrom used for symmetry analysis. |
| xc | str | Exchange-correlation functional. Supported functions are seen in the help of vasp_set . |
| kpt_density | float | K-point density in inverse of angstrom. |
| initial_kpt_density | float | Initial k-point density in inverse of angstrom used for k-point convergence calculations. |
| vise_opts | dict | Options used for the ViseInputSet in vise. See docstrings of ViseInputSet for detailed options. |
| user_incar_setting | dict | User-specific INCAR settings. |
| ldauu | dict | LDAUU values in INCAR for each elements. |
| ldaul | dict | LDAUL values in INCAR for each elements. |
| outcar | str | OUTCAR file name, which should be OUTCAR.finish when using vasp_run or kpt_conv . |
| contcar | str | CONTCAR file name, which should be CONTCAR.finish when using vasp_run or kpt_conv . |
| vasprun | str | vasprun.xml file name, which should be vasprun.xml.finish when using vasp_run or kpt_conv . |
| procar | str | PROCAR file name, which should be PROCAR.finish when using vasp_run or kpt_conv . |
| potcar_set | dict | POTCAR names such as O_h and Mg_pv for each elements. |
| potcar_set_name | str | Default POTCAR set name. Supported sets are found in the help of vasp_set . |
| max_relax_num | int | Max relaxation number for vasp_run or kpt_conv (see help of vasp_run ). |
| removed_files | list | Removed files for vasp_run or kpt_conv (see help of vasp_run ).. |
| left_files | list | Left files at the calculation directory for vasp_run or kpt_conv (see help of vasp_run ).. |
| timeout | int | Timeout for vasp_run or kpt_conv (see help of vasp_run ).. |
For example, one can write in vise.yaml
as
xc: hse
user_incar_setting:
ENCUT: 550

@remarks To calculate the exact array size required by GetCharsEx to store the resulting characters, the application uses GetCharCount. To calculate the maximum array size, the application should use GetMaxCharCount. The GetCharCount method generally allows allocation of less memory, while the GetMaxCharCount method generally executes faster.
With error detection, an invalid sequence causes this method to throw a ArgumentException. Without error detection, invalid sequences are ignored, and no exception is thrown.
Data to be converted, such as data read from a stream, might be available only in sequential blocks. In this case, or if the amount of data is so large that it needs to be divided into smaller blocks, the application uses the Decoder or the Encoder provided by the GetDecoder method or the GetEncoder method, respectively.
@exceptions| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | Bytes is uninitialized. -or- Chars is uninitailized. |
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | ByteIndex is less than the lower-bound of Bytes. -or- CharIndex is less than the lower-bound of Chars. -or- ByteCount is less than zero. -or- ByteIndex and ByteCount do not denote a valid range in Bytes. -or- CharIndex is not a valid index in Chars. |
| ArgumentException |
Error detection is enabled, and Bytes contains an invalid sequence of bytes. -or- Chars does not have enough capacity from CharIndex to the end of the array to accommodate the resulting characters. |
| DecoderFallbackException | A fallback occurred -and- DecoderFallback is set to DecoderExceptionFallback. |
