Mazrim Taim. Before Rand, other men through the centuries had claimed to be the Dragon Reborn. The last few years before Rand had seen a plague of false Dragons, some of whom could actually channel. Mazrim Taim was one of those, raising an army and ravaging Saldaea before he was taken. Bashere’s face did not change, but he gripped his sword hilt white-knuckle hard, and Tumad was looking at him for orders. Taim’s escape, on the way to Tar Valon to be gentled, was the reason Bashere had come to Andor in the first place. That was how much Saldaea feared and hated Mazrim Taim; Queen Tenobia had sent Bashere with an army to pursue the man wherever he went, however long it took, to make sure Taim never troubled Saldaea again.
The Maidens merely stood calmly, but that name burst among the Andorans like a torch tossed in dry grass. Arymilla was just being helped to her feet, yet her eyes rolled up in her head again; she would have gone down in a heap once more if Karind had not eased her to the paving stones. Elegar staggered back among the columns and bent over, retching loudly. The rest were all gasps and panic, pressing handkerchiefs to mouths and clutching at sword hilts. Even stolid Karind licked her lips nervously.
Rand took his hand away from his coat pocket. “The amnesty,” he said, and both Saldaeans gave him a long flat look.
“What if he has not come for your amnesty?” Bashere said after a moment. “What if he still claims to be the Dragon Reborn?” Feet shuffled among the Andorans; no one wanted to be within miles of where the One Power might be used in a duel.
“If he thinks that,” Rand said firmly, “I will disabuse him.”  However strong Taim might be, he could not stand up to that. “But if he has come for the amnesty, it is his, the same as any other.” Whatever Taim had done in Saldaea, he could not afford to turn away a man who could channel, a man who would not have to be taught from the first steps. He needed such a man. He would turn away no one except one of the Forsaken, not unless he was forced to. Demandred and Sammael, Semirhage and Mesaana, Asmodean and . . . Rand forced Lews Therin down; he could not afford distractions now.
Again Bashere paused before speaking, but finally he nodded and let go of his sword. “Your amnesty holds, of course. But mark me, al’Thor. If Taim ever sets foot in Saldaea again, he will not live to leave. There are too many memories. No command I give—nor Tenobia herself—will stop it.”
“I will keep him out of Saldaea.” Either Taim had come here to submit to him, or else it was going to be necessary to kill him.  “Let’s have him in here.”
Tumad eyed Bashere, but Bashere’s short nod came so quickly that it seemed Tumad bowed in response to the spoken command. Irritation flashed in Rand, but he said nothing, and Tumad hurried away in that slightly rolling walk. Bashere folded his arms across his chest and stood with one knee bent, a portrait of a man at his ease. Those dark tilted eyes, fixed on the way Tumad had gone, made it a portrait of a man waiting to kill something.
The scuffling of feet started again among the Andorans, hesitant half-steps away then pulling back. Their breathing sounded as though they had run miles.
“You may leave,” Rand told them.
 “Go!”
They wanted to show him they were unafraid, even if they were ready to soil themselves; they wanted to run, abandoning what dignity they had not already tossed at his feet. It was a simple choice. He was the Dragon Reborn, and currying favor meant obedience, and obedience in this case meant doing what they truly wanted. A flurry of extravagant bows and deep skirt-spreading curtsies, hurried murmurs of “By your leave, my Lord Dragon” and “As you command, my Lord Dragon,” and they were . . . not exactly scurrying out, but walking as quickly as they could manage without appearing to scurry. In the opposite direction from that in which Tumad had gone; no doubt they did not want to risk a chance encounter with Mazrim Taim on his way in.
The waiting stretched out in the heat—it took time to bring a man through the sprawling corridors from the Palace gates—but once the Andorans were gone no one moved. Bashere kept his gaze steady on the place Taim would appear. The Maidens watched everywhere, but they always did, and if they looked ready to veil themselves again in an instant, they always did that too. Except for their eyes, they could have been statues.
Finally the sound of boots echoed into the courtyard. Rand almost reached out for saidin, then held back. The man would be able to tell he held the Power as soon as he entered the court; Rand could not afford to appear afraid of him.
Tumad emerged into the sunlight first, then a black-haired man of slightly above average height whose dark face and tilted eyes, hooked nose and high cheekbones, marked him another Saldaean, though he was clean-shaven and garbed like a once prosperous Andoran merchant lately fallen on hard times. His dark blue coat had been of fine wool trimmed in darker velvet, but wear had made the cuffs ragged, his breeches bagged at the knee, and dust coated his cracked boots. Still, he walked proudly, no mean feat with four more of Bashere’s men behind him, those almost straight, slightly serpentine blades bare and the points inches from his ribs. The heat hardly seemed to touch him. The Maidens’ eyes followed his progress.
Rand studied Taim as the man and his escort crossed the courtyard. At least fifteen years older than himself; thirty-five, then, or a few years more at most. Little was known and less written of men who could channel—it was a subject most decent people avoided—but Rand had learned what he could. Relatively few men actually sought it out; that was one of Rand’s problems. Since the Breaking, most men who channeled had the ability born in them, ready to spring out as they grew into manhood. Some managed to keep madness at bay for years before Aes Sedai found and gentled them; others were already hopelessly mad when found, at times less than a year after first touching saidin. Rand had clung to sanity for close to two years, so far.  That alone was worth something.
They halted a few paces before him at a gesture from Tumad. Rand opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Lews Therin rose up in a frenzy in his head. Sammael and Demandred hated me, whatever honors I gave them. The more honors, the worse the hate, until they sold their souls and went over. Demandred especially. I should have killed him! I should have killed them all! Scorched the earth to kill them all! Scorch the earth!
Face frozen, Rand fought for his own mind. I am Rand al’Thor. Rand al’Thor! I never knew Sammael or Demandred or any of them! The Light burn me, I am Rand al’Thor! Like a faint echo, one more thought came from elsewhere. The Light burn me. It sounded like a plea. Then Lews Therin was gone, driven back into whatever shadows he lived in.
Bashere took advantage of the silence. “You say you’re Mazrim Taim?” He sounded doubtful, and Rand looked at him in confusion. Was this Taim or not? Only a madman would claim that name if it was not his.
The prisoner’s mouth quirked in what might have been the beginning of a smile, and he rubbed his chin. “I shaved, Bashere.” His voice held more than a hint of mockery. “It is hot this far south, or had you not noticed? Hotter than it should be, even here. Do you want proof of me? Shall I channel for you?” His dark eyes flickered to Rand, then back to Bashere, whose face was growing darker by the minute. “Perhaps not that, not now. I remember you. I had you beat at Irinjavar, until those visions appeared in the sky. But everyone knows that. What does everyone not know, that you and Mazrim Taim will?” Focused on Bashere, he seemed unaware of his guards, or their swords still hovering near his ribs. “I hear you hid what happened to Musar and Hachari and their wives.” The mockery was gone; he was just relating what had happened, now. “They shouldn’t have tried to kill me under a parley flag. I trust you found them good places as servants? All they’ll really want to do now is serve and obey; they won’t be happy otherwise. I could have killed them. They all four drew daggers.”
“Taim,” Bashere growled, hand darting for his hilt, “you . . . !”
Rand stepped in front of him, seizing his wrist with the blade half-drawn. The guards’ blades, Tumad’s as well, were touching Taim now, very likely touching flesh the way they were shoved against his coat, but he did not flinch. “Did you come to see me,” Rand demanded, “or to taunt Lord Bashere?
Taim studied Rand a moment before speaking. Despite the heat, the fellow barely sweated. “To see you. You were the one in the vision in the sky. They say it was the Dark One himself you fought.”
“Not the Dark One,” Rand said. Bashere was not fighting him exactly, but he could feel the tension in the man’s arm. If he let go, that blade would be out and through Taim in a heartbeat. Unless he used the Power. Or Taim did. That had to be avoided, if it could be. He kept his grip on Bashere’s wrist. “He called himself Ba’alzamon, but I think he was Ishamael. I killed him later, in the Stone of Tear.”
“I hear you’ve killed a number of the Forsaken.  I have heard this lot use the title. Do you mean to kill all the Forsaken?”
“Do you know any other way to deal with them?” Rand asked. “They die, or the world does. Unless you think they can be talked into abandoning the Shadow the way they abandoned the Light.” This was becoming ridiculous. Here he was, carrying on a conversation with a man who certainly had five sword points drawing blood beneath his coat while he himself held on to another man who wanted to add a sixth and draw more than a trickle. At least Bashere’s men were too disciplined to do more without their general’s word.  Admiring Taim’s coolness, Rand went on as quickly as he could without seeming to be hurried.
“Whatever your crimes are, Taim, they pale beside the Forsaken’s. Have you ever tortured an entire city, made thousands of people assist in breaking each other slowly, in breaking their own loved ones? Semirhage did that, for no more reason than that she could, to prove she could, for the pleasure of it. Have you murdered children? Graendal did. She called it kindness, so they would not suffer after she enslaved their parents and carried them away.” He just hoped the other Saldaeans were listening half as closely as Taim; the man had actually leaned forward slightly in interest. He hoped they did not ask too many questions about where all this came from. “Have you given people to Trollocs to eat? All the Forsaken did—prisoners who would not turn always went to the Trollocs, if they weren’t murdered out of hand—but Demandred captured two cities just because he thought the people there had slighted him before he went over to the Shadow, and every man, woman and child went into Trolloc bellies. Mesaana set up schools in the territory she controlled, schools where children and young people were taught the glories of the Dark One, taught to kill their friends who didn’t learn well enough or fast enough. I could go on. I could start from the beginning of the list and go through all thirteen names, adding a hundred crimes as bad to every name. Whatever you’ve done, it doesn’t rank with that. And now you’ve come to accept my pardon, to walk in the Light and submit to me, to battle the Dark One as hard as you ever battled anyone. The Forsaken are reeling; I mean to hunt them all down, eradicate them. And you will help me. For that, you’ve earned your pardon.
At last he felt Bashere’s arm relax, felt the man’s sword sliding back into its scabbard. Rand barely stopped himself from exhaling in relief. “I don’t see any reason to guard him so closely now. Put up your swords.”
Slowly, Tumad and the others began sheathing their blades. Slowly, but they were doing it. Then Taim spoke.
“Submit? I had thought more of a compact between us.” The other Saldaeans tensed; Bashere was still behind Rand, but Rand could feel him stiffening. The Maidens did not move a muscle, except that Jalani’s hand twitched toward her veil. Taim tilted his head, unaware. “I would be the lesser partner, of course, yet I have had years more than you to study the Power. There is much I could teach you.”
Rage rose up in Rand till his vision filmed red. He had spoken of things he should have no knowledge of, had probably birthed a dozen rumors about himself and the Forsaken, all to make this fellow’s deeds seem less dark, and the man had the audacity to speak of compacts? Lews Therin raved in his head. Kill him! Kill him now! Kill him! For once Rand did not bother to quell the voice. “No compact!” he growled. “No partners! I am the Dragon Reborn, Taim! Me! If you have knowledge I can make use of, I will, but you will go where I say, do as I say, when I say.”
Without a pause Taim slipped to one knee. “I submit to the Dragon Reborn. I will serve and obey.” The corners of his mouth quivered again in that almost smile as he rose. Tumad gaped at him.
“That fast?” Rand said softly. The rage was not gone; it was white hot. If he gave way, he was not sure what he would do. Lews Therin still babbled in the shadows of his head. Kill him!  Rand pushed Lews Therin away, to a barely audible murmur. Perhaps he should not be surprised at this; strange things happened around ta’veren, especially one as strong as himself. That a man might change his mind in a moment, even if his course had been carved in stone, should be no great surprise. But the anger had him, and a strong streak of suspicion. “You named yourself the Dragon Reborn, fought battles all over Saldaea, were only captured because you were knocked unconscious, and you give up this quickly? Why?”
Taim shrugged. “What are my choices? To wander the world alone, friendless, hunted, while you rise to glory?  Even if they don’t, the Aes Sedai will corner me sooner or later; I doubt the Tower means to forget Mazrim Taim. Or I can follow you, and part of that glory will be mine.” For the first time he looked around, at his guards, at the Maidens, and shook his head as if he could not believe it. “I might have been the one. How could I be sure otherwise? I can channel; I’m strong. What said I was not the Dragon Reborn? All I had to do was fulfill just one of the Prophecies.”
“Like managing to be born on the slopes of Dragonmount?” Rand said coldly. “That was the first Prophecy to be met.”
Taim’s mouth quirked again. It really was not a smile; it never touched his eyes. “Victors write history. Had I taken the Stone of Tear, history would have shown I was born on Dragonmount, of a woman never touched by a man, and the heavens opened up in radiance to herald my coming. The sort of thing they say about you, now. But you took the Stone with your Aiel, and the world hails you as the Dragon Reborn. I know better than to stand against that; you are the one. Well, since the whole loaf won’t be mine, I will settle for whatever slices fall my way.”
“You may find honors, Taim, and you may not. If you begin to fret over them, think what happened to the others who’ve done what you did. Logain, captured and gentled; rumor says he died in the Tower. A nameless fellow beheaded in Haddon Mirk by the Tairens. Another burned by the Murandians. Burned alive, Taim! That’s what the Illianers did to Gorin Rogad four years ago, as well.”
“Not a fate I would embrace,” Taim said levelly.
“Then forget honors and remember the Last Battle. Everything I do is aimed at Tarmon Gai’don. Everything I tell you to do will be aimed at it. You will aim at it!”
“Of course.” Taim spread his hands. “You are the Dragon Reborn. I don’t doubt that; I acknowledge it publicly. We march toward Tarmon Gai’don. Which the Prophecies say you will win. And the histories will say that Mazrim Taim stood at your right hand.”
“Perhaps,” Rand told him curtly. He had lived too many prophecies to believe any of them meant exactly what they said. Or even that they insured anything. In his opinion, prophecy set the conditions that had to be met for a thing to happen; only, meeting them did not mean the thing would happen, just that it could. Some of the conditions set in the Prophecies of the Dragon more than implied that he had to die for any chance at victory. Thinking of that did nothing for his temper. “The Light send your chance doesn’t come too soon. Now. What knowledge do you have that I need? Can you teach men to channel? Can you test a man to know whether he can be taught?” Unlike women, one man who could channel could not simply sense the ability in another. There was as much different between men and women with the One Power as there was between men and women; sometimes it was a matter of hair-fine degree, sometimes stone versus silk.
“Your amnesty? Some fools have actually shown up to learn how to be like you and me?”
Bashere only stared at Taim contemptuously, arms folded and boots spread apart, but Tumad and the guards shifted uneasily. The Maidens did not. Rand had no idea how the Maidens felt about the score of men who had answered his call; they never gave any sign. With the memory of Taim as a false Dragon strong in their heads, few of the Saldaeans could hide their ill ease.
“Just answer me, Taim. If you can do what I want, say so. If not . . . ” That was the anger talking. He could not send the man away, not if every day was a struggle with him. Taim seemed to think he would, though.
“I can do both,” he said quickly. “I have found five over the years—not that I was really looking—but only one had the courage to go beyond the testing.” He hesitated, then added, “He went mad after two years.
Two years. “You’ve held it off a deal longer than that. How?”
“Worried?” Taim asked softly, then shrugged. “I can’t help you. I don’t know how; I just did. I’m sane as . . . ” His eyes flickered toward Bashere, ignoring the other man’s flat stare. “ . . . as Lord Bashere.”
But Rand wondered, suddenly. Half the Maidens had returned to watching the rest of the courtyard; they were not likely to focus so deeply on one possible threat that they ignored others. The possible threat was Taim, and the second half of the Maidens still had their eyes fixed on him and Rand for any sign the threat was real. Any man would have to be aware of them, sudden death in their eyes, their hands. Rand was, and they wanted to protect him. And Tumad and the other guards still gripped their sword hilts, ready to draw again. If Bashere’s men and the Aiel decided to kill Taim, the man would have a hard time escaping that courtyard however he channeled, unless Rand helped him. Yet Taim paid the soldiers and the Maidens no more outward attention than he did the colonnades’ columns or the paving stones beneath his boots. Bravery, real or feigned, or something else? A kind of madness?
After a moment of silence, Taim spoke again. “You don’t trust me yet. No reason you should. Yet. In time you will. In token of that future trust, I brought you a present.” From under his worn coat he pulled a rag-wrapped bundle a little larger than a man’s two fists together.
Frowning, Rand took it, and his breath caught when he felt the hard shape inside. Hastily he pulled away multicolored rags, revealing a disc the size of his palm, a disc like that on the scarlet banner above the palace, half white and half black, the ancient symbol of Aes Sedai, before the Breaking of the World. He ran his fingers across the mated teardrops.
Only seven like this had been made, of cuendillar. Seals on the Dark One’s prison, seals that held the Dark One away from the world. He had two more, hidden away very carefully. Protected very carefully. Nothing could break cuendillar, not even the One Power—the lip of a delicate cup made of heartstone could scratch steel, or diamond—but three of the seven had been broken. He had seen them, shattered. And he had watched Moiraine carve a thin sliver from the edge of one. The seals were weakening, the Light alone knew why or how. The disc in his hands had the hard slickness of cuendillar, like a blend of the finest porcelain and polished steel—but he was sure it would break if he let it fall to the stones under his feet.
Three broken. Three in his possession. Where was the seventh? Only four seals stood between humankind and the Dark One. Four, if the last was still whole. Only four, standing between humankind and the Last Battle. How well did they still hold, weakened as they were?
Lews Therin’s voice came up like thunder. Break it break them all must break them must must must break them all break them and strike must strike quickly must strike now break it break it break it . . .
Rand shook with the effort of fighting that voice down, forcing away a mist that clung like spiderwebs. His muscles ached as if he wrestled with a man of flesh, a giant. Handful by handful he stuffed the fog that was Lews Therin into the deepest crannies, the deepest shadows, he could find in his mind.
Abruptly he heard the words he was muttering hoarsely. “Must break it now break them all break it break it break it.” Abruptly he realized he had his hands over his head, holding the seal, ready to smash it to the white pavement. The only thing stopping him was Bashere, up on his toes, hands raised to grip Rand’s arms.
“I don’t know what that is,” Bashere said quietly, “but I think maybe you should wait before deciding to break it. Eh?” Tumad and the others were no longer watching Taim; they gaped wide-eyed at Rand.  Sulin took a half step toward the men, and Jalani’s hand was outstretched toward Rand as if she did not realize it.
“No.” Rand swallowed; his throat hurt. “I don’t think I should.” Bashere stepped back slowly, and Rand brought the seal down just as slowly. If Rand had thought Taim unflappable, he had proof to the contrary now. Shock painted the man’s face. “Do you know what this is, Taim?” Rand demanded. “You must, or you wouldn’t have brought it to me. Where did you find it? Do you have another? Do you know where another is?”
“No,” Taim said, voice unsteady. Not with fear, precisely; more like a man who had felt a cliff unexpectedly crumbling under him and had somehow found himself back on solid ground. “That is the only one I . . . I’ve heard all sorts of rumors since I escaped the Aes Sedai. Monsters leaping out of thin air. Strange beasts. Men talking to animals, and the animals talking back. Aes Sedai going mad like we’re supposed to. Whole villages going mad, killing each other. Some could be true. Half what I know to be true is no less insane. I heard some of the seals have been broken. A hammer could break that one.”
Bashere frowned, stared at the seal in Rand’s hands, then gasped. He understood.
“Where did you find it?” Rand repeated. If he could find the last . . . then what? Lews Therin stirred, but he refused to listen.
“In the last place you would expect,” Taim replied, “which I suppose is the first place to look for the others.  I stopped for water, and the farmer gave it to me. He was old, with no children or grandchildren to pass it on to, and he thought I was the Dragon Reborn. He claimed his family had guarded it more than two thousand years. Claimed they were kings and queens during the Trolloc Wars, and nobles under Artur Hawkwing. His tale could have been true. No more unlikely than finding that in a hut only a few days ride from the Blightborder.”
Rand nodded, then stooped to gather up the rags. He was used to the unlikely happening around him; it had to happen elsewhere, sometimes. Hurriedly rewrapping the seal, he handed it to Bashere. “Guard this carefully.” Break it! He squashed the voice hard. “Nothing must happen to it.”
Bashere took the bundle reverently in both hands. Rand was unsure whether the man’s bow was for him or the seal. “For ten hours or ten years, it will be safe until you require it.”
For a moment Rand studied him. “Everybody’s waiting for me to go mad, afraid of it, but not you.
Bashere shrugged, grinning behind his gray-streaked mustaches. “When I first slept in a saddle, Muad Cheade was Marshal-General. The man was as mad as a hare in spring thaw. Twice every day he searched his bodyservant for poison, and he drank nothing but vinegar and water, which he claimed was sovereign against the poison the fellow fed him, but he ate everything the man prepared for as long as I knew him. Once he had a grove of oaks chopped down because they were looking at him. And then insisted they be given decent funerals; he gave the oration. Do you have any idea how long it takes to dig graves for twenty-three oak trees?”
“Why didn’t somebody do something? His family?”
“Those not mad as he was, or madder, were afraid to look at him sideways. Tenobia’s father wouldn’t have let anyone touch Cheade anyway. He might have been insane, but he could out-general anyone I ever saw. He never lost a battle. He never even came close to losing.”
Rand laughed.  “The world must follow you, or those who survive will wish themselves dead.”
Slowly Rand nodded. The Prophecies said he would break nations and bind them together. Not that he wanted to, but the Prophecies were his only guide to how to fight the Last Battle, how to win it. Even without them, he thought the binding together was necessary. The Last Battle would not be just him against the Dark One. He could not believe that; if he was going mad, he was not yet mad enough to believe he was more than a man. It would be mankind against Trollocs and Myrddraal, too, and every sort of Shadowspawn the Blight could vomit out, and Darkfriends rising out of their hiding places. There would be other dangers on that road to Tarmon Gai’don, and if the world was not united . . . You do what must be done. He was not sure whether that was himself or Lews Therin, but it was the truth, as far as he could see.
Walking quickly to the nearest colonnade, he spoke over his shoulder to Bashere. “I am taking Taim to the farm. Do you want to come along?”
“The farm?” Taim said.
Bashere shook his head. “Thank you, no,” he said dryly. He might not allow any nerves to show, but Rand and Taim together were probably as much as he could take; he certainly avoided the farm. “My men are growing soft policing the streets for you. I mean to put some of them back into their saddles properly for a few hours. You were going to inspect them this afternoon. Has that changed?”
“What farm?” Taim said.
Rand sighed, suddenly weary. “No, that hasn’t changed. I will be there if I can.” It was too important to change, though none but Bashere and Mat knew; he could not let anyone else think it more than a casual matter, a useless ceremony for a man growing taken with the pomp of his position, the Dragon Reborn going out to be cheered by his soldiers. He had another visit to make today, too, one that everyone would think he was trying to keep secret. It might even stay secret, from most, but he had no doubt that those he wanted to learn of it, would.
Taking up his sword from where it stood against one of the narrow columns, he buckled it on over his undone coat. The belt was unadorned dark boar-hide, just like the scabbard and the long hilt; the buckle was ornate, a finely worked dragon of etched steel inlaid with gold. He should get rid of that buckle, find something plain. He could not bring himself to do it, though. It had been a gift from Aviendha. Which was the reason he should rid himself of it. He could never think his way out of that circle.
Something else waited there for him, too, a two-foot length of spear with a green-and-white tassel below the sharp head. He hefted it as he turned back to the courtyard. One of the Maidens had carved the short shaft with Dragons. Some people were already calling it the Dragon Scepter, especially Elenia and that lot. Rand kept the thing close to remind himself that he might have more enemies than those he could see.
“What farm are you talking about?” Taim’s voice grew harder. “Where is it you mean to take me?”
For a long moment Rand studied the man. He did not like Taim. Something in the fellow’s manner would not allow it. Or maybe something in himself. For so long he had been the only man who could even think of channeling without looking over his shoulder in a sweat for Aes Sedai. Well, it seemed a long time, and at least the Aes Sedai would not try to gentle him, not now that they knew who he was. Could it be as simple as that? Jealousy that he was no longer unique? He did not think so. Apart from everything else, he would welcome more men who could channel walking the earth unmolested.  No, it would not go that far, not this side of Tarmon Gai’don. He was unique; he was the Dragon Reborn. Whatever his reasons, he just did not like the man.
Kill him! Lews Therin shrieked. Kill them all! Rand pushed the voice back down. He did not have to like Taim, only to use him. And trust him. That was the hard part.
“I’m taking you where you can serve me,” he said coldly. Taim did not flinch or frown; he merely watched and waited, the corners of his mouth twitching for one moment in that almost smile.

This project is interactive virtual reality experience that is based around the concept of procrastination. The player is placed in a dark room lit by a single spotlight with a table in front of them. Upon the table, there is a stack of paper and an flashing alarm clock with the word “WORK” plastered where there would normally be time. When the player turns the alarm off, the screen fades to black. Moments later the player is greeted with a similar scene to before; however this time, the alarm is larger, louder, and more stacks of paper surround the player. If the process is repeated, the scene progressively becomes more and more unbearable until eventually, the stacks of paper close in on the player consuming them.
“Procrastination” was built using the Unity game engine and the virtual reality components derived from the VRTK Virtual Reality Too. The alarm clock itself was created through the use of photogrammetry and done with the software Photoscan. Due to non-optimal photogrammetry conditions, the final alarm clock result was distorted; however with a little touch up of the 3D model in Blender and the texture in Photoshop, the warped clock was fitting for the dream-like experience that this project was going for.

In this example, Zoltan_Initialize is called using the argc and argv arguments to the main program. Then a pointer to a Zoltan structure is returned by the call to Zoltan_Create. In this example, all processors will be used by Zoltan, as MPI_COMM_WORLD is passed to Zoltan_Create as the communicator.
Several application query functions are then registered with Zoltan through calls to Zoltan_Set_Fn. Parameters are set through calls to Zoltan_Set_Param. The application then performs in computations, including making calls to Zoltan functions and utilities.
Before its execution ends, the application frees memory used by Zoltan by
calling
Zoltan_Destroy.
| /* Initialize the Zoltan library
*/
struct Zoltan_Struct *zz; float version; ... Zoltan_Initialize(argc, argv, &version); zz = Zoltan_Create(MPI_COMM_WORLD); /* Register query functions. */

General Manager's Message
As a solution to the global crisis, which erupted in 2008, the central banks of developed countries applied expansionary monetary policies, setting the stage for an environment of excess liquidity and low interest rates, which has been the main feature of the last 5 years.
With the recovery in developed countries, the global economy is on course to normalize again. The first step in this process was taken by the Fed, to taper the volume of its bond-buying program and gradually wind down this process. Although the decision did not start to be implemented until December, it started to give rise to volatility in risk perceptions worldwide from the second half of the year. In the coming period, the question of when the low-interest rate environment will end - as well as the pace of the tapering - will remain under the spotlight in the global economy.
Along with the USA, developments in Europe, Japan and emerging markets will be closely watched. Even though liquidity is being cut from the US, there are no similar expectations from the monetary policies in the Euro-zone or Japan. Volatility in the sphere of global development in 2014 is bound to affect Turkey, as a result of our country’s global integration, in common with the process seen in other emerging markets. As our economy started to perform better in 2013 when compared to the previous year, Turkey was affected by the volatility in risk appetite and short-term capital flows, along with other emerging market countries. Despite the depreciation of the TL, the increase in interest rates and downside revisions to growth projections, there are no expectations of a deterioration in the national macroeconomic performance in the new economic era, in which assets are in search of new valuations.
As one of the most important corporations in the country and in the banking sector, Ziraat Bank aims to increase the value-added to the country and sustain efficient and profitable growth on the back of the assets-liability management strategies which have been applied since 2011 and the “value-adding transformation” project, aimed building a customer oriented infrastructure, thus enabling greater competitiveness in this area.
In this framework, Ziraat Bank completed its organizational, operational, human resources and loan policy infrastructure quickly and completely through by internal resources. Aiming to attain a customer oriented balance sheet in 2013, thanks to loan weighted growth model assets increased by 27%. With a strategy concentrated on supporting the real sector, cash loans surged by 55% while non-cash loans increased by almost 100%. While supporting and helping the development of the agricultural sector, which is our main mission, we have also sought to increase our focus on industrial agriculture. In 2013, our profit increased by 26% to reach TL 3.3 billion. We deem our stable growth -backed by profitability and efficiency- and our strategy of maintaining a sound balance sheet structure as factors which help us reflect our profitability into equity.
Ziraat Bank, aiming to attain a customer oriented balance sheet in 2013, increased its assets by 27% thanks to loan weighted growth model.
Deposits represent our main source of financing. In order to support the savings balance of the country, we strive to introduce various deposit products for the use of the customers. In seeking longer term financing and low-cost opportunities, however, we also work on expanding non-depository financing resources. Significant increases in the volume of resources obtained from international corporations and banks, in FX repo transactions, in syndication loans and, on the domestic front, bank-bonds and bills have been seen as part of the diversification in our resource structuring strategies.
Our branches were renovated with a customer focused approach during 2013. A total of 150 new branches were opened, bringing our overall branch network to 1,661 including international branches. We aim to increase the number of locations where we are the sole provider of financial services. Our established operation centers, that will support efforts to gain operational efficiency, undertook 104 million transactions. We also work on developing our alternative distribution channels.
We have successfully come a long way in our domestic restructuring strategy and celebrate our 150th anniversary with pride. In 2014 we will also continue to work on;

Bugalugs Jim sat on the bed and wept. "Cheer Up, Bugalugs," said Mum. "Cheer Up, Bugalugs," said Dad. Jim was at the doctor's clinic. He had a bad cut on his leg and cuts on his hands. "You will be OK soon," said the doctor. But Jim was still sad. You see, Jim is the goalkeeper for his footballteam and he will miss the big match. He will have to sit on the bench. Jim's team wins the match and Jim, too, gets a medal. His mum and dad cheer. "Good on you, Bugalugs."

@sindresorhus Public key different this time again?
sindresorhus17-Jul-18 09:28 PM
@zatJUM Yes, we haven't set up a public key for HyperDEX yet, so we're using our own. @lukechilds will do that soon. You can confirm my key with Keybase: https://keybase.io/sindresorhus
@Hermes Just to confirm, you have not set a "Custom Marketmaker URL" in the Settings, right? Can you reproduce the issue or did you only get it once?
Hermes17-Jul-18 09:37 PM
let me see if I can reproduce it

@siu - Chainmakers we have a designer on the books now to go through the backlog. Your logo is the first one to be done. Please keep in mind that we have taken over the repo and we are paying designers to actually standardize the icons, it is another overhead but we will get it done.
jansako18-Jul-18 07:34 AM
I have a bob node that has been up for a bit (~24 hours), there are active orders on it. How do I make that bob to show up in HyperDEX? One cannot make a trade if custoemrs can't find him... I understand it is a matter of connections and who can see who. So how do I make myself seen? (If this is something that can be done, I can see a 'premium bob' service offering in the future...)
hyperDEX18-Jul-18 08:26 AM
Special bobs for everyone @jansako
We dont do anything special, so if it is not showing up in hyper, it probably is not showing up on barterDEX. Maybe speak to @siu - Chainmakers or @cipi they are masters in the craft(edited)
blackjok3r18-Jul-18 08:30 AM
Check your marketmakers mem use, and try restarting it. Sometimes orderbooks just stop working, and other times orderooks show but trades dont respond. I also advise using the release atrem posted yesterday instead of the marketmaker in jl's SuperNET repo.
seemed to help the bob I am looking after.
jansako18-Jul-18 09:26 AM
Taking this to #dev-marketmaker . thx!
lukechilds18-Jul-18 12:07 PM
@jansako in HyperDEX we strip out orders with 0 UTXOs from the order book
but it's unlikely that's the issue if your Bob is funded
you can manually inspect the requests in the network tab of dev tools to view the raw order book response
jansako18-Jul-18 12:33 PM
It was not showing in HyperDEX or Dexstats orderbooks, so not your issue. Restarted MM and the orders do. I just need to keep an eye out for when they drop off & restart the bob again...
thanks @lukechilds

@sindresorhus
sindresorhus19-Jul-18 09:15 AM
@Cryptoon What currency? Did you try to send your whole balance or just part of it? After clicking "Withdraw", did you click the "Confirm Network Fee" button? Are you able to click the X (or Esc) to close the modal dialog?
Cryptoon19-Jul-18 09:16 AM
It was KMD, was manually trying to send entire balance to self
will try again in a bit to see the steps again, will get back to you
that can actually be done: when you do the withdraw script, you can define the txfee. if you make that max button subtract the txfee from it, the withdraw works. standard txfee is 10,000, but i've used lower ones in my withdraw script perfectly fine
and since you work with SPV only, no weird issues with native can rise, like stuck cache or sth.
still, API error response could be more specific indeed
sindresorhus19-Jul-18 10:03 AM
@jorian Yes, that would be great.
ranfoltu19-Jul-18 12:40 PM
I'm trying to trade some DEX and a little bit of SUPERNET on HyperDEX. Does anybody want to trade? I will trade under market value. I've been trying to trade them for more than a month now on coinexchange, barterdex, and now hyperdex. I've got multiple UTXO's, but can't ever get a trade to go through. If you are willing to help, I would much appreciate it!!! Thanks in advance.
Cryptoon19-Jul-18 12:44 PM
how much are you selling dex for?
jorian19-Jul-18 12:55 PM
next chance, cryptoon
lukechilds19-Jul-18 12:56 PM
@sindresorhus re specifying a txfee, that works fine for alts with hardcoded tx values but is totally hit and miss with currencies like BTC/LTC/ETH with agressive fee markets
there is no single fee size that will guarantee a fast transaction
and you need to know the size of the transaction to calculate a good fee size
which depends entirely on the user's UTXO set
ranfoltu19-Jul-18 01:02 PM
@Cryptoon I have 58.xxx of them 15 KMD each
Cryptoon19-Jul-18 01:02 PM
Hmm I think I'll wait for @jorian to fix his node then :p
ranfoltu19-Jul-18 01:03 PM
What's that mean? He's gonna sell cheaper than that?
Cryptoon19-Jul-18 01:05 PM
yes
ranfoltu19-Jul-18 01:12 PM
what price?
I will trade them at 14 KMD each then if that works for you..
Kinda desperate to move them
Cryptoon19-Jul-18 01:14 PM
it was 10,11
why desperate @ranfoltu ?
ranfoltu19-Jul-18 01:59 PM
@Cryptoon Need some funds! Been holding these for a while in hopes they would bring some passive income with interest, but I've become impatient.
Cryptoon19-Jul-18 02:11 PM
They were 24-30kmd a couple weeks ago
ranfoltu19-Jul-18 02:26 PM
I've had orders sitting on barterdex, always lower than the lowest sell offer, but can't get a buyer for quite a while. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I can buy things on barterdex easy enough, but selling them is another story
So now I'm trying with Hyperdex
Hopefully I'll have more luck
Cryptoon19-Jul-18 02:29 PM
But have you been selling on barterdex or hyperdex?
Best check #dev-tradebots perhaps
to solve problems
ranfoltu19-Jul-18 02:30 PM
I'm trying on hyperdex now
Cryptoon19-Jul-18 02:30 PM
No trades at all seems weird
ranfoltu19-Jul-18 02:30 PM
Giving up on barterdex for now, upgrading to hyperdex
Cryptoon19-Jul-18 02:30 PM
Hyperdex doesnt leave orders open I think
ranfoltu19-Jul-18 02:31 PM
Right, I understood that.. I just keep trying multiple times per day to see if any orders will go through I suppose
Cryptoon19-Jul-18 02:31 PM
Were you selling for 15kmd exactly?
ranfoltu19-Jul-18 02:31 PM
I've tried even cheaper than that
Cryptoon19-Jul-18 02:32 PM
I think I bought like .5 DEX at that price earlier today to test it
if the problem was on my side
jorian19-Jul-18 02:45 PM
not many buyers in bear market
especially on low volume, unknown DEX

ranfoltu19-Jul-18 02:48 PM
well, offer is open if anybody wants some cheap DEX or small amount of SuperNET hit me up and we can do a trade via hyperdex if you like (edited)
smellycouch20-Jul-18 12:34 AM
So are we done with Barterdex then, To Hyperdex and beyond?
blackjok3r20-Jul-18 01:03 AM
Berterdex will still work, if you want to trade with native wallets, you still need barterdex. Native has not been added to HyperDEX at this stage.
grim_chiefer20-Jul-18 03:07 AM
Never used Hyperdex - when I get to choosing Restore Portfolio or Create New Portfolio - do I choose restore and enter my Agama seed or do I make a new one and it gives me a seed specific to Hyperdex?
Sorry, I’ve used Barterdex but not Hyper
GatewayBOT20-Jul-18 03:10 AM
[matrix] <hermes_t:matrix.org> You can use your Barterdex seed if you like if you already have a trading use with that seed you can use it
[matrix] <hermes_t:matrix.org> Also you can use your Agama seed if you wish to
grim_chiefer20-Jul-18 05:00 AM
What happens if you place an order but there isn’t enough of the other token to fill?
Stuck in swap 3/5 and the order book has now gone blank.
Funds have been taken from my end but the coin I want to purchase is still 0(edited)
Cryptoon20-Jul-18 08:58 AM
During the swap the funds are locked
So the swap has to go on
if the swap is stuk that sometimes means that bob has lost connection or something like that
funds are returned after x hours (I think 4?)
grim_chiefer20-Jul-18 12:04 PM
@Cryptoon k thanks. I’ll just reopen it when I get home from work and hope nothing gets stuck. Sat there for a couple hours and waited but nothing happened.
grim_chiefer20-Jul-18 11:04 PM
Now when I try to sell it’ll post and then say unmatched error 9999
Hermes20-Jul-18 11:58 PM
which pair you are using?
grim_chiefer21-Jul-18 12:40 AM
Trying to trade Zilla for KMD because I know they frown upon doing it in chat but Hyperdex just refuses to either complete a trade or leave a sell order open more than 10 seconds

This determines the selectivity mode of the two levers. In "selective" mode, when a key is released, the lever value freezes for that note, even if the note is held by the sustain {_footswitch}. It also freezes for notes {_latch latched} by the left footswitch. In "sampled" mode, it is sampled once at the start of the note.
This is contained in the {Control_selectivity_cluster selectivity cluster} within the {Control_section}. It is presented as two separate parameters, one for each lever.
This is contained in the SWEEP section of the right panel, under the following parameter number:

Business boss heralds Black Country's global trade reach
A business boss has praised the global success of Black County firms - and said the region should stop downplaying itself.
by Jamie BrassingtonCorin Crane, chief executive of the Black Country Chamber of Commerce, was speaking ahead of the organisation's annual awards ceremony.
The region's Business of the Year, as well as Business Person of the Year, were among the accolades handed out.
Mr Crane said: "We have got these global businesses and everyone downplays the success of their stories.
"I have been chatting to them, and I hear 'oh yeah, we have just started training in Dubai', and 'we have started selling things in Australia', and 'we have just moved into the Middle East'.
"And these businesses trade all over the world but we are not very good at talking about ourselves.
"I tell you what, we have got about 60 odd finalists tonight, and each of those has got the story, and the employees, and the growth, and the pride they have in it, so there is going to be a few broken hearts tonight, and a few happy people as well I hope."
Hundreds of people from businesses across the Black Country packed into Wolverhampton Racecourse for the annual black tie event.
A total of thirteen awards were handed out on the night, which recognised a range of achievements from excellent customer service to profits and growth.
There was more good news as £6,000 was raised for the event's charity partner Acorns Hospice.


Matrix defines a set of open APIs for decentralised communication, suitable for securely publishing, persisting and subscribing to data over a global open federation of servers with no single point of control. Uses include Instant Messaging (IM), Voice over IP (VoIP) signalling, Internet of Things (IoT) communication, and bridging together existing communication silos - providing the basis of a new open real-time communication ecosystem.
To propose a change to the Matrix Spec, see the explanations at Proposals for Spec Changes to Matrix.
Table of Contents
The specification consists of the following parts:
| API | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Client-Server API | r0.6.1 | Interaction between clients and servers |
| Server-Server API | r0.1.4 | Federation between servers |
| Application Service API | r0.1.2 | Privileged server plugins |
| Identity Service API | r0.3.0 | Mapping of third party IDs to Matrix IDs |
| Push Gateway API | r0.1.1 | Push notifications for Matrix events |
Additionally, this introduction page contains the key baseline information required to understand the specific APIs, including the sections on room versions and overall architecture.
The Appendices contain supplemental information not specific to one of the above APIs.
The Matrix OpenAPI Viewer is useful for browsing the Client-Server API.
Note
As of June 10th 2019, the Matrix specification is considered out of beta - indicating that all currently released APIs are considered stable and secure to the best of our knowledge, and the spec should contain the complete information necessary to develop production-grade implementations of Matrix without the need for external reference.
Matrix 1.0 (released June 10th, 2019) consists of the following minimum API versions:
| API/Specification | Version |
|---|---|
| Client-Server API | r0.5.0 |
| Server-Server API | r0.1.2 |
| Application Service API | r0.1.1 |
| Identity Service API | r0.1.1 |
| Push Gateway API | r0.1.0 |
| Room Version | v5 |
Matrix is a set of open APIs for open-federated Instant Messaging (IM), Voice over IP (VoIP) and Internet of Things (IoT) communication, designed to create and support a new global real-time communication ecosystem. The intention is to provide an open decentralised pubsub layer for the internet for securely persisting and publishing/subscribing JSON objects. This specification is the ongoing result of standardising the APIs used by the various components of the Matrix ecosystem to communicate with one another.
The principles that Matrix attempts to follow are:
The functionality that Matrix provides includes:
The end goal of Matrix is to be a ubiquitous messaging layer for synchronising arbitrary data between sets of people, devices and services - be that for instant messages, VoIP call setups, or any other objects that need to be reliably and persistently pushed from A to B in an interoperable and federated manner.
To propose a change to the Matrix Spec, see the explanations at Proposals for Spec Changes to Matrix.
Matrix defines APIs for synchronising extensible JSON objects known as "events" between compatible clients, servers and services. Clients are typically messaging/VoIP applications or IoT devices/hubs and communicate by synchronising communication history with their "homeserver" using the "Client-Server API". Each homeserver stores the communication history and account information for all of its clients, and shares data with the wider Matrix ecosystem by synchronising communication history with other homeservers and their clients.
Clients typically communicate with each other by emitting events in the context of a virtual "room". Room data is replicated across all of the homeservers whose users are participating in a given room. As such, no single homeserver has control or ownership over a given room. Homeservers model communication history as a partially ordered graph of events known as the room's "event graph", which is synchronised with eventual consistency between the participating servers using the "Server-Server API". This process of synchronising shared conversation history between homeservers run by different parties is called "Federation". Matrix optimises for the Availability and Partitioned properties of CAP theorem at the expense of Consistency.
For example, for client A to send a message to client B, client A performs an HTTP PUT of the required JSON event on its homeserver (HS) using the client-server API. A's HS appends this event to its copy of the room's event graph, signing the message in the context of the graph for integrity. A's HS then replicates the message to B's HS by performing an HTTP PUT using the server-server API. B's HS authenticates the request, validates the event's signature, authorises the event's contents and then adds it to its copy of the room's event graph. Client B then receives the message from his homeserver via a long-lived GET request.
How data flows between clients ============================== { Matrix client A } { Matrix client B } ^ | ^ | | events | Client-Server API | events | | V | V +------------------+ +------------------+ | |---------( HTTPS )--------->| | | homeserver | | homeserver | | |<--------( HTTPS )----------| | +------------------+ Server-Server API +------------------+ History Synchronisation (Federation)
Each client is associated with a user account, which is identified in Matrix using a unique "user ID". This ID is namespaced to the homeserver which allocated the account and has the form:
@localpart:domain
See 'Identifier Grammar' in the appendices for full details of the structure of user IDs.
The Matrix specification has a particular meaning for the term "device". As a user, I might have several devices: a desktop client, some web browsers, an Android device, an iPhone, etc. They broadly relate to a real device in the physical world, but you might have several browsers on a physical device, or several Matrix client applications on a mobile device, each of which would be its own device.
Devices are used primarily to manage the keys used for end-to-end encryption (each device gets its own copy of the decryption keys), but they also help users manage their access - for instance, by revoking access to particular devices.
When a user first uses a client, it registers itself as a new device. The longevity of devices might depend on the type of client. A web client will probably drop all of its state on logout, and create a new device every time you log in, to ensure that cryptography keys are not leaked to a new user. In a mobile client, it might be acceptable to reuse the device if a login session expires, provided the user is the same.
Devices are identified by a device_id, which is unique within the scope of a given user.
A user may assign a human-readable display name to a device, to help them manage their devices.
All data exchanged over Matrix is expressed as an "event". Typically each client action (e.g. sending a message) correlates with exactly one event. Each event has a type which is used to differentiate different kinds of data. type values MUST be uniquely globally namespaced following Java's package naming conventions, e.g. com.example.myapp.event. The special top-level namespace m. is reserved for events defined in the Matrix specification - for instance m.room.message is the event type for instant messages. Events are usually sent in the context of a "Room".
Events exchanged in the context of a room are stored in a directed acyclic graph (DAG) called an "event graph". The partial ordering of this graph gives the chronological ordering of events within the room. Each event in the graph has a list of zero or more "parent" events, which refer to any preceding events which have no chronological successor from the perspective of the homeserver which created the event.
Typically an event has a single parent: the most recent message in the room at the point it was sent. However, homeservers may legitimately race with each other when sending messages, resulting in a single event having multiple successors. The next event added to the graph thus will have multiple parents. Every event graph has a single root event with no parent.
To order and ease chronological comparison between the events within the graph, homeservers maintain a depth metadata field on each event. An event's depth is a positive integer that is strictly greater than the depths of any of its parents. The root event should have a depth of 1. Thus if one event is before another, then it must have a strictly smaller depth.
A room is a conceptual place where users can send and receive events. Events are sent to a room, and all participants in that room with sufficient access will receive the event. Rooms are uniquely identified internally via "Room IDs", which have the form:
!opaque_id:domain
There is exactly one room ID for each room. Whilst the room ID does contain a domain, it is simply for globally namespacing room IDs. The room does NOT reside on the domain specified.
See 'Identifier Grammar' in the appendices for full details of the structure of a room ID.
The following conceptual diagram shows an m.room.message event being sent to the room !qporfwt:matrix.org:
{ @alice:matrix.org } { @bob:example.org } | ^ | | [HTTP POST] [HTTP GET] Room ID: !qporfwt:matrix.org Room ID: !qporfwt:matrix.org Event type: m.room.message Event type: m.room.message Content: { JSON object } Content: { JSON object } | | V | +------------------+ +------------------+ | homeserver | | homeserver | | matrix.org | | example.org | +------------------+ +------------------+ | ^ | [HTTP PUT] | | Room ID: !qporfwt:matrix.org | | Event type: m.room.message | | Content: { JSON object } | `-------> Pointer to the preceding message ------` PKI signature from matrix.org Transaction-layer metadata PKI Authorization header .................................... | Shared Data | | State: | | Room ID: !qporfwt:matrix.org | | Servers: matrix.org, example.org | | Members: | | - @alice:matrix.org | | - @bob:example.org | | Messages: | | - @alice:matrix.org | | Content: { JSON object } | |....................................|
Federation maintains shared data structures per-room between multiple homeservers. The data is split into message events and state events.
The state of the room at a given point is calculated by considering all events preceding and including a given event in the graph. Where events describe the same state, a merge conflict algorithm is applied. The state resolution algorithm is transitive and does not depend on server state, as it must consistently select the same event irrespective of the server or the order the events were received in. Events are signed by the originating server (the signature includes the parent relations, type, depth and payload hash) and are pushed over federation to the participating servers in a room, currently using full mesh topology. Servers may also request backfill of events over federation from the other servers participating in a room.
Note
Events are not limited to the types defined in this specification. New or custom event types can be created on a whim using the Java package naming convention. For example, a com.example.game.score event can be sent by clients and other clients would receive it through Matrix, assuming the client has access to the com.example namespace.
Each room can also have multiple "Room Aliases", which look like:
#room_alias:domain
See 'Identifier Grammar' in the appendices for full details of the structure of a room alias.
A room alias "points" to a room ID and is the human-readable label by which rooms are publicised and discovered. The room ID the alias is pointing to can be obtained by visiting the domain specified. Note that the mapping from a room alias to a room ID is not fixed, and may change over time to point to a different room ID. For this reason, Clients SHOULD resolve the room alias to a room ID once and then use that ID on subsequent requests.
When resolving a room alias the server will also respond with a list of servers that are in the room that can be used to join via.
HTTP GET #matrix:example.org !aaabaa:matrix.org | ^ | | _______V____________________|____ | example.org | | Mappings: | | #matrix >> !aaabaa:matrix.org | | #golf >> !wfeiofh:sport.com | | #bike >> !4rguxf:matrix.org | |________________________________|
Users in Matrix are identified via their Matrix user ID. However, existing 3rd party ID namespaces can also be used in order to identify Matrix users. A Matrix "Identity" describes both the user ID and any other existing IDs from third party namespaces linked to their account. Matrix users can link third-party IDs (3PIDs) such as email addresses, social network accounts and phone numbers to their user ID. Linking 3PIDs creates a mapping from a 3PID to a user ID. This mapping can then be used by Matrix users in order to discover the user IDs of their contacts. In order to ensure that the mapping from 3PID to user ID is genuine, a globally federated cluster of trusted "identity servers" (IS) are used to verify the 3PID and persist and replicate the mappings.
Usage of an IS is not required in order for a client application to be part of the Matrix ecosystem. However, without one clients will not be able to look up user IDs using 3PIDs.
Users may publish arbitrary key/value data associated with their account - such as a human readable display name, a profile photo URL, contact information (email address, phone numbers, website URLs etc).
Users may also store arbitrary private key/value data in their account - such as client preferences, or server configuration settings which lack any other dedicated API. The API is symmetrical to managing Profile data.
Various things are common throughout all of the Matrix APIs. They are documented here.
Namespacing helps prevent conflicts between multiple applications and the specification itself. Where namespacing is used, m. prefixes are used by the specification to indicate that the field is controlled by the specification. Custom or non-specified namespaces used in the wild MUST use the Java package naming convention to prevent conflicts.
As an example, event types defined in the specification are namespaced under the special m. prefix, however any client can send a custom event type, such as com.example.game.score (assuming the client has rights to the com.example namespace) without needing to put the event into the m. namespace.
Unless otherwise stated, timestamps are measured as milliseconds since the Unix epoch. Throughout the specification this may be referred to as POSIX, Unix, or just "time in milliseconds".
Rooms are central to how Matrix operates, and have strict rules for what is allowed to be contained within them. Rooms can also have various algorithms that handle different tasks, such as what to do when two or more events collide in the underlying DAG. To allow rooms to be improved upon through new algorithms or rules, "room versions" are employed to manage a set of expectations for each room. New room versions are assigned as needed.
There is no implicit ordering or hierarchy to room versions, and their principles are immutable once placed in the specification. Although there is a recommended set of versions, some rooms may benefit from features introduced by other versions. Rooms move between different versions by "upgrading" to the desired version. Due to versions not being ordered or hierarchical, this means a room can "upgrade" from version 2 to version 1, if it is so desired.
Room versions are used to change properties of rooms that may not be compatible with other servers. For example, changing the rules for event authorization would cause older servers to potentially end up in a split-brain situation due to not understanding the new rules.
A room version is defined as a string of characters which MUST NOT exceed 32 codepoints in length. Room versions MUST NOT be empty and SHOULD contain only the characters a-z, 0-9, ., and -.
Room versions are not intended to be parsed and should be treated as opaque identifiers. Room versions consisting only of the characters 0-9 and . are reserved for future versions of the Matrix protocol.
The complete grammar for a legal room version is:
room_version = 1*room_version_char room_version_char = DIGIT / %x61-7A ; a-z / "-" / "."
Examples of valid room versions are:
Room versions are divided into two distinct groups: stable and unstable. Stable room versions may be used by rooms safely. Unstable room versions are everything else which is either not listed in the specification or flagged as unstable for some other reason. Versions can switch between stable and unstable periodically for a variety of reasons, including discovered security vulnerabilities and age.
Clients should not ask room administrators to upgrade their rooms if the room is running a stable version. Servers SHOULD use room version 6 as the default room version when creating new rooms.
The available room versions are:

Here we reveal a fundamental relationship between voltage, current and resistance.
Associated with each resistor is a constant \(R\) denoting its resistance to current. (Variable resistors work by mechanically changing how far current has to travel through some sort of resistive channel.) Current through and voltage across a resistor may change over time, but their relationship is always governed by the equation... $$ V = IR. $$ This is Ohm's Law.
Note that all electronic components exhibit some resistance, so this is applicable to all components to some extent.
While on the subject, here we should discuss equivalents of Ohm's Law with respect to electronic components other than the resistor.
Associated with each capacitor is a constant \(C\) denoting its capacitance. (Interestingly, this is purely a geometric property of the capacitor plates in terms of surface area, how far apart they are, how much they overlap, etc. Variable capacitors probably operate by mechanically changing the overlap.) The charge \(Q\) on a capacitor and the voltage \(V_C\) across the capacitor can change over time, but their relationship is always governed by the equation... $$ Q(t) = CV_C(t). $$ But to get something analogous to Ohm's Law, we need to relate voltage and current with respect to the capacitor. Letting \(I\) be functions of time \(t\), we need to add the equation... $$ \frac{d}{dt}Q(t) = \pm I(t), $$ ...but what is this saying? Well, capacitors can charge and discharge over time, and they do that when we pass a current through them using a battery, or let a current flow from them, respectively. What the equation says is that the rate of change of charge in the capacitor is directly proportional to the current flowing through/from it. This makes sense, because we can imaging electron build-up on the plates as current flows through the capacitor, or electron depletion as current flows from the capacitor. I'm not yet sure, however, how to describe the difference between charge and voltage in physical terms.
So Ohm's Law of capacitors, if you will, is given by... $$ \frac{d}{dt}V_C(t) = \pm\frac{I(t)}{C}. $$
Associated with each inductor is a constant \(L\) denoting its inductance. Interestingly, I think the function of this component derives purely from its geometric properties as well. Specifically, a winding current creates an electromagnetic field, and a changing electromagnetic field induces a current. In this case, a current in the opposite direction of the current we're trying to pass through the inductor.
Admittedly, all of the real physics behind this is way too hard for me to comprehend. My intuition about inductors is based on the idea of a fly-wheel. A constant force (voltage) applied to them will slowly build momentum in the fly-wheel. The applied force diminishes as the wheel gains momentum (because current is able to flow more and more) until only a minimum force is needed to have the fly-wheel maintain that momentum. When the force is removed altogether, the inductor becomes a source of energy (voltage) until the momentum dissipates. Unlike a capacitor, however, too much of this energy is lost through means other than the inducement of a current, such as heat.
Ohm's Law of inductors, if you will, is given by... $$ \frac{d}{dt}I(t) = \pm\frac{V_L(t)}{L}. $$ So the rate of change of current is proportional to the voltage across the inductor, and inversely proportional to its inductance. Notice what a nice complement this is to Ohm's Law for capacitors.
It would be more interesting, however, if we could derive this equation using a model that involves the electromagnetic field. If I had to guess, I'd let \(E(t)\) denote the energy in the electromagnetic field at time \(t\). Then I would say... $$ E(t) = LI(t), $$ ...which is to say that this energy is directly proportional to the inductance of the inductor and the amount of current flowing through it. Then... $$ \frac{d}{dt}E(t) = \pm V_L(t), $$ ...which is to say that the rate of change of that energy is proportional to the amount of voltage across the inductor. Notice how these, together, gives us Ohm's Law for inductors, as contrived as they may be.
Talk about it here...

Can i resume my normal activities after
vaccination against COVID-19?
Yes, you can continue to participate in all of them
your planned activities, as long as you feel healthy.
For more information you can refer to
website of the Ministry of Health: emvolio.gov.gr
Can there be any side effects after vaccination?
According to clinical studies, the most common side effects
actions that may occur after vaccination are pain
injection site, headache, myalgias, arthralgias, fatigue,
chills or fever. These symptoms may be more common in
younger ages. They recede soon and you do not have to worry,
because it is an indication that your body is responding to the vaccine.
Taking antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs helps
address them.If symptoms persist,
contact your doctor or vaccination center. If the
if you wish, you can report side effects that you consider
related to the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine on the page
of the National Medicines Agency, completing the Yellow Card
(www.eof.gr/web/guest/yellowgeneral).
Am I protected from COVID-19 now that I have been vaccinated?
Most vaccines for COVID-19 need two doses to
are effective. Each vaccine has been tested in studies before being approved
involving more than 30,000 volunteers and has
has been shown to significantly reduce the chances of getting seriously ill
by COVID-19. It takes several days after administration
second dose of the vaccine to develop our body immune to the virus.
Some people may get sick from despite being vaccinated
COVID-19, but their disease is expected to be much milder.
What should I do after the first dose of the vaccine?
You need to make sure your vaccination is repeated inside
within the prescribed time, as the second dose of the vaccine
is necessary for the development of protection against the virus.
Will I continue to need personal protection measures afterwards
vaccination?
After vaccination we must continue to adhere to the measures
protection such as hand hygiene, mask use and adherence
distances. This is because no vaccine is 100% effective
and the virus will continue to circulate in the community until
vaccinated a large percentage of the population. The higher the percentage
of the population vaccinated, the sooner it will be reduced
the circulation of the virus in the community.

The Sourcery Probe Professional probe has these features:
| Note | |
|
The actual download speed depends on the target system processor, the clock frequency of the debug port, the network speed, and the debugger. |
|
The Sourcery CodeBench debugger is integrated with Sourcery Probe Professional to give you control over the emulation functions and your target. They communicate via an Ethernet connection.
The probe contains the hardware and software needed to control the processor’s Debug Support Unit (DSU) via the interface. It performs debug services like memory test, single stepping, and breakpoint management.
The debugger implements high-level debug functions by sending debug service requests to the probe over the communication link. It then formats and displays the data or status information that is returned from the probe.
Sourcery Probe Professional provides these key benefits:
The probe enables you to observe registers and the current state of target system memory. You can halt program execution at predefined points and examine the data for a particular program state.
You can control the state of the target system by downloading code, manually modifying processor registers and memory, single-stepping through the code, or setting breakpoints.

Post 3 - On Arrays and Hashes
So today's lesson deals with how we store and recall information in Ruby. One way to do it is in an ordered list called an array.  Let's take a look at some differences and similarities...
Arrays
Arrays are just ordered lists like 1, 2, 3 or biscuits, gravy, fried_okra. Or even 1, gravy, 3.
When you write them in Ruby, they look like this...
sweet_array = [0, 1, 2]
So this is just a very simple example that sets sweet_array equal to an ordered list with the index value as the integer in that slot.
To call the variable at index 2, you would say...
sweet_array = [2] => 2
Arrays are most useful when need to select an onject from a consistent, consecutive index.
Hashes
Hashes are basically lists of key/value pairs where the keys point to the value. So like an array can say biscuit, but a hash can say breakfast is a biscuit.
While arrays use [], hashes use {}, like so...
sweet_hash = {"key 1" => "value 1", "key 2" => "value 2", "key 3" +. "value 3" }
You can recall a certain value using
first_value = sweet_hash["key 1"] ==>"value 1"
The Takeaway
So there are at least 2 different ways to store and retrieve information, and both are explained in most simple terms above.


Run the statements in the right panel.
The first statements shows you how to use the RUNSTATS command using the admin stored procedure.
The second statement shows the DESCRIBE function.
You should see a result set open in the lower right panel. And two statements should have successfully ran if you check the console.

Welcome to Innovation PowerUP - Sonae Sierra’s newest innovation program that aims to support and accelerate the implementation of business innovative projects that are craving for additional speed, energy and fuel.
The moment has come!
projects currently being discussed and planned, not yet in its implementation phase, still in the need for a strategic unlocking.
projects that due to lack of resources or for any other reason, are waiting for the right moment to be implemented.
projects currently being implemented but still not launched and needing speed and resources to be accelerated.

10.000€
We know that everybody procrastinates and leave everything for the last moment… it’s only human. However, studies demonstrate that the best applications are not the ones submitted at 23:59 of the last day. Don’t over-think and apply NOW.
If you’re still thinking about applying or you have doubts, this session is for you. The objective of this session is that you ask us those hard questions that you might have.
The Innovation Office along with the Innovation Committee, will evaluate every application according to the criteria defined by the regulation in order to select up to 10 applications that will be the finalists.
On this beautiful day, we will announce up to 10 finalists that will have the opportunity of participating in the next phase of Innovation PowerUP. This shortlist will be announced by e-mail, and most probably the Innovation Office will ask some homework to kickstart the engines.
In order to do start building an impactful presentation and a more solid business-case, this remote workshop will allow you to have a flash-training on how to do it better.
Because each team and project are unique in their own ways, our team will provide every single one of the finalists, an individual virtual mentoring session.
In order to prepare the project pitch, every team will have the opportunity to be part of a 1 day training session to improve and rehearse the final presentation. In the end of this day, up to 5 finalists will be selected to the Final Pitch day.
Finally, a selection of up to 5 projects will pitch to the Senior executives for a chance of getting additional support to accelerate their innovation projects.
This could be the first day of our lives, because the winners will be announced and most probably drinks will be shared among the teams, finalists and of course the Innovation Office.

Note, the following contains spoilers and strong opinion about the movie "Contact". You may want to see the film and form your own opinions first.
= = =
Well, I never liked Carl Sagan's stuff.
I always thought he cream and sugared the science too much in an effort to make it go down layman's throats. To me, that ruins the flavor of the science itself and distorts its message. I've always preferred my science black --- expresso black --- but there are things you can add to science to make an interesting, more accessable combination without overloading it with sweetness and light. A shot of bourbon, for instance, as I've been known to enjoy in the works of Gould, Thomas, Dawkins, etc...
"Contact" is a mocha latte with rum. Worse than that, it uses the best columbian coffee, finest Puerto Rican rum, fresh cream, and a whole can of Hersey's chocolate syrup.
I say this so often about films: "It coulda' been so good!". "Contact" merits this same summary more so than any film in recent memory. All the best ingredients were there: profound scientific and philosophical questions, world class actors, breathtaking scientific venues for settings, big budget high tech special effects, a good variation on the first-contact plot...
But NO!  Oh, how I felt I had been cheated! Worse yet, they had Jodie Foster do the wimp out --- yes, the same Jodie Foster that had gone toe-to-toe with Hannibal Lechter without blinking. Why did they cast her? Why couldn't they cast Jane Fonda? That would have bothered me FAR less.
Or maybe I missed the point. Maybe her failure to stick to her scientific and philosophic guns in the climactic scene of the film was intended to get the audience to rally to her aid, to shout: "Aristotle! Aristotle! Quick! Set 'em up with Aristotle. Then BANG! Hume! Hume! Give 'em a left with Hume! and then a right cross with Kant! Kick 'em in the groin with Goedel!".
Or maybe we are assumed to already know the truth, survive the attack by science-as-religion mumbo jumbo, and maturely accept the fact that the good guy, vastly outnumbered, just didn't win in this story, being wiser for the experience.
But no. By Occam's Razor it was more likely that the film wanted to show how Science and Religion can be a big happy mutually supporting mocha latte family.
It was awful. The film made the point that Jodie Foster's character was somehow embarrased and weakened by her atheism and scientific rationalism. That she was an athesist because her parents died young and she was angry at God. It wasn't possible that (gasp) she didn't believe in God because there wasn't one! It reminded me of the stereotypical view of homosexuality as a bad moral choice.
It gets worse.
After the climactic scene, the emphasized idea is that science is sort of a revealed, mystical religion of its own. Only individual scientists understand scientific fact. Scientific proof is ultimately based on mystical revelation. Science is no different than revealed faith in God.
In a brief, passing conversation after the climax thre was a ray of hope. We learn that there actually was a shred of objective empirical evedence for the mystical revelation that the atheist and rationalist scientist is forced to accept. It could have been a Cinderella ending. Alas, the film dropped this point there. No one went seeking the foot that matched this glass slipper, so this objective evedence is portrayed more like Santa's cane in "A Miracle on 34'th Street" --- we all believe that Santa is real, and that's all that really matters, but hey, isn't it neat that some bit of objective evedence fits in with our beliefs --- not that we need any facts to justify our beliefs.
