The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose among brown-thicketed hills in Cairhien. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.
Westward the wind blew over abandoned villages and farms, many only jumbles of charred timber. War had racked Cairhien, war and civil war, invasion and chaos, and even now that it was done, insofar as it was done, only a handful began to trickle back to their homes. The wind held no moisture, and the sun tried to sear away what little remained in the land. Where the small town of Maerone faced larger Aringill across the River Erinin, the wind crossed into Andor. Both towns baked, and if more prayers for rain rose in Aringill, where refugees from Cairhien jammed inside the walls like fish in a cask, even the soldiers packed around Maerone offered up words to the Creator, sometimes drunkenly, sometimes fervently. Winter should have been beginning to send out tendrils, the first snows long past, and those who sweated feared the reason it was not so, though few dared voice those fears.
Westward the wind blew, stirring drought-shriveled leaves on the trees, riffling the surface of shrinking streams bordered in hard-baked mud. There were no burned-out ruins in Andor, but villagers eyed the swollen sun nervously and farmers tried not to look at fields that had produced no fall crops. Westward, until the wind passed across Caemlyn, lifting two banners above the Royal Palace, in the heart of the Ogier-built Inner City.  The other banner slashed snow white across the sky. The figure on it, like some strange golden-maned, four-legged serpent, sun-eyed and scaled scarlet and gold, seemed to ride on the wind. It was a close question which of the two caused more fear. Sometimes, the same breast that held fear, held hope. Hope of salvation and fear of destruction, from the same source.
Many said Caemlyn was the second most beautiful city in the world, and not only Andorans, who often named it first, over-ranking Tar Valon itself. Tall round towers marched along the great outer wall of gray stone streaked silver and white, and within rose even taller towers, and domes of white and gold gleaming in the pitiless sun. The city climbed over hills to its center, the ancient Inner City, encircled by its own shining white wall, containing its own towers and domes, purple and white and gold and glittering tile mosaics, that looked down on the New City, well under two thousand years old.
As the Inner City was the heart of Caemlyn, and more than merely by being its center, the Royal Palace was the heart of the Inner City, a gleeman’s tale of snowy spires and golden domes and stonework like lace. A heart that beat in the shadow of those two banners.
Stripped to the waist and balanced easily on the balls of his feet, at the moment Rand was no more aware that he was in a white-tiled courtyard of the Palace than he was of the onlookers among the surrounding colonnades. Sweat slicked his hair to his skull, rolled down his chest. The half-healed round scar on his side ached fiercely, but he refused to acknowledge it.  Dragons, the Aiel called them, and others were taking up the name. He was dimly aware of the heron branded neatly into each of his palms, but only because he could feel them against the long hilt of his wooden practice sword.
He was one with the sword, flowing from stance to stance without thought, boots scraping softly on the pale tiles. Lion on the Hill became Arc of the Moon became Tower of Morning. Without thought. Five sweating, bare-chested men circled him, sidestepping warily from stance to stance, practice swords shifting. They were all he was really aware of. Hard-faced and confident, they were the best he had found so far. The best since Lan went. Without thought, as Lan had taught him. He was one with the sword, one with the five men.
Abruptly he ran forward, the encircling men moving rapidly to keep him centered. Just at the moment when that balance teetered on breaking, when at least two of the five had begun to shift toward breaking it, he suddenly turned in midstep and was running the other way. They tried to react, but it was too late. With a loud clack he caught the downstroke of a practice sword on his own blade of bundled lathes; simultaneously his right foot took the grizzled-haired man next over in the belly. Grunting, the man bent double. Locked blade to blade, Rand forced his broken-nosed opponent to turn, kicking the doubled-over man again as they went around. Grizzle-hair went down gasping for air. Rand’s opponent tried to back away to use his blade, but that freed Rand’s blade to spiral around his—The Grapevine Twines—and thrust hard against his chest, hard enough to knock him off his feet.
Only heartbeats had passed, few enough that just now were the other three closing in. The first, a quick squat little man, belied his stature by leaping over broken-nose with a yell as broken-nose toppled. Rand’s practice blade took him across the shins, half upending him, then again across the back, driving him down to the paving stones.
That left only two, but they were the two best, a limber pole of a man whose sword moved like a serpent’s tongue, and a heavy shaven-headed fellow who never made a mistake. They separated immediately, to come at Rand from two sides, but he did not wait. Quickly he closed with the skinny man; he had only moments before the other rounded the fallen.
The skinny man was good as well as fast; Rand offered gold for the best, and they came. He was tall for an Andoran, though Rand overtopped him by a hand, yet height had little bearing with the sword. Sometimes strength did. Rand went at him in all-out attack; the man’s long face tightened as he gave ground. The Boar Rushes Down the Mountain crashed through Parting the Silk, broke Lightning of Three Prongs, and the bundled lathes slashed hard against the side of the man’s neck. He fell with a strangled grunt.
Immediately Rand threw himself down and to the right, rolling up to his knees on the paving stones, blade streaking into The River Undercuts the Bank. The shaven-headed man was not fast, but somehow he had anticipated. Even as Rand’s lathe blade swept across the fellow’s wide middle, the man’s own blade cracked down on Rand’s head.
For a moment Rand wavered, his vision a blur of black flecks. Shaking his head in an effort to clear his eyes, he used the practice sword to push himself to his feet. Panting hard, the shaven-headed man watched him cautiously.
“Pay him,” Rand said, and wariness left the shaven-headed man’s face. Needless wariness. As if Rand had not promised an extra day’s coin to any man who managed to strike him. Triple to any who defeated him one-to-one. It was a way to make sure nobody held back to flatter the Dragon Reborn. He never asked their names, and if they took the omission amiss, so much the better if it made them try harder. He wanted opponents to test him, not become friends. The friends he did have would curse the hour they met him one day, if they did not already. The others were stirring, too; a man “killed” was to stay where he lay until it was all done, an obstruction as a real corpse would be, but the squat man was having to help grizzle-hair up, and having trouble standing unaided himself. The limber fellow worked his head around, wincing. There would be no more practice today. “Pay them all.”
A ripple of clapping and praise ran through the watchers among the narrow fluted columns, lords and ladies in colorful silks heavy with elaborate embroidery and braid. Rand grimaced and tossed his sword aside. That lot had all been toadeaters to Lord Gaebril when Queen Morgase—their queen—was little more than a prisoner in this palace. Her palace. But Rand needed them. For the moment. Clutch the bramble, and you will be pricked, he thought. At least, he hoped it was his thought.
Sulin, the wiry white-haired leader of Rand’s escort of Aiel Maidens of the Spear, leader of the Maidens this side of the Spine of the World, pulled a gold Tar Valon mark from her belt pouch, tossed it with a grimace that drew at the nasty scar on the side of her face. The Maidens did not like Rand handling a sword, even a practice blade. They did not approve of any sword. No Aiel did.
The shaven-headed man caught the coin, and answered Sulin’s blue-eyed stare with a careful bow. Everyone was careful around the Maidens, in their coats and breeches and soft, laced boots of browns and grays made to fade into the bleak landscape of the Waste. Some had begun adding shades of green, to suit what they called the wetlands despite the drought. Compared to the Aiel Waste, it was still wet; few Aiel had seen water they could not step across before leaving the Waste, and bitter feuds had been fought over pools two or three paces wide.
Like any Aiel warrior, like the twenty other light-eyed Maidens around the courtyard, Sulin kept her hair cut short except for a tail on the nape of her neck. She carried three short spears and a round bull-hide buckler in her left hand, and a pointed heavy-bladed knife at her belt. Like any Aiel warrior, down to those the age of Jalani, all of sixteen and with traces of baby fat still on her cheeks, Sulin knew how to use those weapons well, and would on slight provocation, at least as folk this side of the Dragonwall saw it. Except for her, the Maidens watched everyone, every piercework screened window and pale stone balcony, every shadow. Some had short curved bows of horn with arrows nocked, and more shafts ready in bristling quivers worn at the waist. Far Dareis Mai, the Maidens of the Spear, carried the honor of their prophesied Car’a’carn, if sometimes in their own peculiar way, and not a one of them but would die to keep Rand alive. The thought made his stomach boil in its own acid.
Sulin continued tossing the gold with a sneer—it pleased Rand to use Tar Valon coins for this debt—another for shaven-head, one for each of the others. Aiel approved of most wetlanders little more than of swords, and that took in anyone not born and bred Aiel. For most Aiel, that would have included Rand despite his Aiel blood, but there were the Dragons on his arms. One marked a clan chief, earned by risking life on strength of will; two marked the Car’a’carn, the chief of chiefs, He Who Comes With the Dawn. And the Maidens had other reasons for approval.
Gathering up practice swords, shirts and coats, the men bowed their way from his presence. “Tomorrow,” Rand called after them. “Early.” Deeper bows acknowledged the order.
Before the bare-chested men were gone from the courtyard, the Andoran nobles swept out of the colonnades, a rainbow of silks crowding around Rand, dabbing at sweaty faces with lace-trimmed handkerchiefs. They made Rand’s bile rise. Use what you must use, or let the Shadow cover the land. Moiraine had told him that. He almost preferred the honest opposition of the Cairhienin and Tairens to this lot. That nearly made him laugh, calling what those did honest.
“You were wonderful,” Arymilla breathed, lightly laying a hand on his arm. “So quick, so strong.”  She was apparently fool enough to think him susceptible: her green gown, covered with vines in silver, was cut low by Andoran standards, which meant it showed a hint of cleavage. She was pretty, but easily old enough to be his mother. None of them was any younger, and some older, but all competed at licking Rand’s boots.
“That was magnificent, my Lord Dragon.” Elenia nearly elbowed Arymilla aside. That smile looked odd on the honey-haired woman’s vulpine face; she had the reputation of a termagant. Not around Rand, of course. “There has never been a swordsman like you in the history of Andor. Even Souran Maravaile, who was Artur Hawkwing’s greatest general and husband to Ishara, first to sit on the Lion Throne—even he died when confronted by only four swordsmen. Assassins, in the twenty-third year of the War of the Hundred Years. Though he did kill all four.” Elenia seldom missed a chance to point out her knowledge of Andor’s history, especially in areas where not much was known, like the war that had broken Hawkwing’s empire apart after his death. At least today she did not add justifications of her claims to the Lion Throne.
“Just a bit of bad luck at the end,” Elenia’s husband, Jarid, put in jovially. He was a square man, dark for an Andoran. Embroidered scrollwork and golden boars, the sign of House Sarand, covered the cuffs and long collars of his red coat, and the White Lions of Andor the long sleeves and high neck of Elenia’s matching red gown. Rand wondered whether she thought he would not recognize the lions for what they were. Jarid was High Seat of his House, but all the drive and ambition came from her.
“Marvelously well done, my Lord Dragon,” Karind said bluntly. Her shimmery gray dress, cut as severely as her face but heavy with silver braid on sleeves and hem, almost matched the streaks through her dark hair. “You surely must be the finest swordsman in the world.” Despite her words, the blocky woman’s flat-eyed look was like a hammer. Had she had brains to match her toughness, she would have been dangerous.
Naean was a slim, palely beautiful woman, with big blue eyes and waves of gleaming black hair, but the sneer she directed at the five departing men was a fixture. “I suspect they planned it out beforehand so one would manage to strike you. They will divide the extra coin among them.” Unlike Elenia, the blue-clad woman with the silver Triple Keys of House Arawn climbing her long sleeves never mentioned her own claims to the throne, not where Rand could hear. She pretended to be content as High Seat of an ancient House, a lioness pretending to be content as a housecat.
“Can I always count on my enemies not to work together?” he asked quietly. Naean’s mouth worked in surprise; she was hardly stupid, yet seemed to think those who opposed her should roll onto their backs as soon as she confronted them, and seemed to take it as a personal affront when they did not.
One of the Maidens, Enaila, ignored the nobles to hand Rand a thick length of white toweling to wipe his sweat away. A fiery redhead, she was short for an Aiel, and it grated at her that some of these wetlander women were taller than she. The majority of the Maidens could stare most of the men in the room straight in the eyes. The Andorans did their best to ignore her too, but their pointed looks elsewhere made the attempts glaring failures. Enaila walked away as if they were invisible.
The silence lasted just moments. “My Lord Dragon is wise,” Lord Lir said with a small bow and a slight frown. The High Seat of House Baryn was blade-slender and blade-strong in a yellow coat adorned with gold braid, but too smoothly unctuous, too smooth altogether. Nothing but those occasional frowns ever sullied that surface, as if he was unaware of them, yet he was hardly the only one to give Rand strange looks. They all looked at the Dragon Reborn in their midst with wondering disbelief sometimes. “One’s enemies usually do work together sooner or later. One must identify them before they have the chance to.”
More praise for Rand’s wisdom flowed from Lord Henren, blocky, bald and hard-eyed, and from gray-curled Lady Carlys, with her open face and devious mind, from plump giggly Daerilla, and thin-lipped nervous Elegar, and nearly a dozen others who had held their tongues while those more powerful spoke.
The lesser lords and ladies fell silent as soon as Elenia opened her mouth once more. “There is always the difficulty of knowing your enemies before they make themselves known. It is often too late, then.” Her husband nodded sagely.
“I always say,” Naean announced, “that who does not support me, opposes me. I’ve found it a good rule. Those who hang back may be waiting until your back is turned to plant a dagger.”
This was hardly the first time they had tried to secure their own places by casting suspicion on any lord or lady not standing with them, but Rand wished he could stop them short of telling them to stop. Their attempts to play the Game of Houses were feeble compared to the sly maneuverings of Cairhienin, or even Tairens, and they were irritating besides, but there were thoughts he did not want them to have yet. Surprisingly, aid came from white-haired Lord Nasin, the High Seat of House Caeren.
“Another Jearom,” the man said, an obsequious smile awkward on his gaunt, narrow face. He drew exasperated looks, even from some of the minor nobles before they caught themselves. Nasin had been a little addled since the events surrounding Rand’s coming to Caemlyn. Instead of the Star and Sword of his House, Nasin’s pale blue lapels were incongruously worked with flowers, moondrops and loversknots, and he sometimes wore a flower in his thinning hair like a country youth going courting. House Caeren was too powerful for even Jarid or Naean to push him aside, though.  “Your bladework is spectacular, my Lord Dragon. You are another Jearom.”
“Why?” The word cut across the courtyard, souring the Andorans’ faces.
 He was slender, little taller than Enaila, in a short gray coat embroidered with silver on cuffs and lapels, and baggy trousers tucked into boots turned down at the knee. Where the Andorans had stood to watch, the Marshal-General of Saldaea had had a gilded chair dragged to the courtyard, and sprawled in it with a leg over one of its arms, ring-quilloned sword twisted so the hilt sat in easy reach. Sweat glistened on his dark face, but he paid it as little mind as he did the Andorans.
“What do you mean?” Rand demanded.
“All this sword practice,” Bashere said easily. “And with five men? No one exercises against five. It’s foolish. Sooner or later your brains will be spilled on the ground in a melee like that, even with practice swords, and to no purpose.”
Rand’s jaw tightened. “Jearom once defeated ten.”
Shifting in his chair, Bashere laughed. “Do you think you’ll live long enough to equal the greatest swordsman in history?” An angry mutter came from the Andorans—feigned anger, Rand was sure—but Bashere ignored it. “You are who you are, after all.” Suddenly he moved like an uncoiling spring; the dagger drawn while shifting flashed toward Rand’s heart.
Rand did not move a muscle. Instead he seized saidin, the male half of the True Source; it took no more thought than breathing. Saidin flooded into him, carrying the Dark One’s taint, an avalanche of foul ice, a torrent of reeking molten metal.  He channeled, a simple weave of Air that wrapped up the dagger and stopped it an arm’s length from his chest. Emptiness surrounded him; he floated in the middle of it, in the Void, thought and emotion distant.
“Die!” Jarid shouted, drawing his sword as he ran toward Bashere. Lir and Henren and Elegar and every Andoran lord had his sword out, even Nasin, though he looked about to drop his. The Maidens had wrapped their shoufa around their heads, black veils coming up to cover their faces to blue or green eyes as they raised long-pointed spears; Aiel always veiled before killing.
“Stop!” Rand barked, and everyone froze in their tracks, the Andorans blinking in confusion, the Maidens simply poised on their toes. Bashere had not moved again beyond settling back into the chair, his leg still hooked over the arm.
Plucking the horn-hilted dagger from the air with one hand, Rand let go of the Source. Even with the taint twisting his belly, the taint that eventually destroyed men who channeled, letting go was difficult. With saidin in him, he saw more clearly, heard more sharply. It was a paradox he did not understand, but when he was floating in that seemingly endless Void, somehow buffered against bodily feeling and emotions, every sense was magnified; without it he felt only half-alive. And some of the taint seemed to remain behind, but not the mitigating glory of saidin. The deadly glory that would kill him if he wavered an inch in the struggle with it.
Turning the dagger in his hands, he walked slowly to Bashere. “Had I been an eyeblink slower,” he said softly, “I’d be dead.  He was ready to do it, he realized. Cold rage had replaced saidin. A few weeks’ acquaintance did not cover this.
The Saldaean’s tilted eyes were as calm as if he lolled in his own home. “My wife would not like that. Nor you, for that matter. Deira would probably take command and set out hunting Taim again. She doesn’t approve of my agreement to follow you.”
 And his words. It had been a surprise to learn that among Bashere’s nine thousand Saldaean horse all of the nobles had brought their wives, and most of the other officers as well. Rand did not understand how a man could take his wife into danger, but it was traditional in Saldaea, except when campaigning into the Blight.
He avoided looking at the Maidens. They were warriors to their toenails, but women, too. And he had promised not to keep them from danger, even death. He had made no promise not to flinch at it, though, and it ripped at him inside when he had to, but he kept his promises. He did what he had to do even when he hated himself for it.
With a sigh he tossed the dagger aside. “Your question,” he said politely. “Why?”
“Because you are who you are,” Bashere said plainly. “Because you—and those men you’re gathering, I suppose—are what you are.” Rand heard feet shuffling behind him; for all they tried to, the Andorans could never hide their horror at his amnesty. “You can do what you did with the dagger every time,” Bashere went on, putting his raised boot down and leaning forward, “but for any assassin to reach you, he has to get past your Aiel. And my horsemen, for that matter. Bah! If anything gets close to you, it won’t be human.” Throwing his hands wide, he settled back again. “Well, if you want to practice the sword, do it. A man needs exercise, and relaxation. But don’t get your skull split open. Too much depends on you, and I don’t see any Aes Sedai around to Heal you.” His mustache almost hid his sudden grin. “Besides, if you die, I don’t think our Andoran friends will maintain their warm welcome for me and my men.”
The Andorans had put up their swords, but their eyes remained on Bashere malevolently. Nothing to do with how close he had come to killing Rand. Usually they kept their faces smooth around Bashere, for all he was a foreign general with a foreign army on Andoran soil. The Dragon Reborn wanted Bashere there, and this lot would have smiled at a Myrddraal if the Dragon Reborn wanted it. But if Rand might turn on him . . . no need to hide anything then. They were vultures who had been ready to feed on Morgase before she died, and they would feed on Bashere given half a chance. And on Rand. He could hardly wait to be rid of them.
The only way to live is to die. The thought came into his head suddenly. He had been told that once, in such a way he had to believe it, but the thought was not his. I must die. I deserve only death. He turned away from Bashere clutching at his head.
Bashere was out of his chair in an instant, clutching Rand’s shoulder though it was head high to him. “What is the matter? Did that blow really crack your head?”
“I am fine.” Rand pulled his hands down; there was never any pain in this, only the shock of having another man’s thoughts in his head. Bashere was not the only one watching. Most of the Maidens were eyeing him as closely as they did the courtyard, especially Enaila and yellow-haired Somara, the tallest of them. Those two would probably bring him some sort of herb tea as soon as their duties were done, and stand over him till he drank it. Elenia and Naean and the rest of the Andorans were breathing hard, clutching at coats and skirts, studying Rand with the wide-eyed fear of people afraid they might be seeing the first signs of madness. “I am fine,” he told the courtyard. Only the Maidens relaxed, and Enaila and Somara not very far.
Aiel did not care about “the Dragon Reborn”; to them Rand was the Car’a’carn, prophesied to unite them, and to break them. They took it in stride, though they worried about it too, and they seemed to take his channeling in stride as well, and everything that might go with it. The others—The wetlanders, he thought dryly—called him the Dragon Reborn, and never speculated on what that meant. They believed he was the rebirth of Lews Therin Telamon, the Dragon, the man who had sealed the hole into the Dark One’s prison and ended the War of the Shadow three thousand years ago and more. Ended the Age of Legends as well, when the Dark One’s last counterstroke tainted saidin, and every man who could channel began to go insane, starting with Lews Therin himself and his Hundred Companions. They called Rand the Dragon Reborn, and never suspected that some part of Lews Therin Telamon might be inside his head, as mad as the day he had begun the Time of Madness and the Breaking of the World, as mad as any of those male Aes Sedai who had changed the face of the world beyond recognition. It had come on him slowly, but the more Rand learned of the One Power, the stronger he became with saidin, the stronger Lews Therin’s voice became, and the harder Rand had to fight to keep a dead man’s thoughts from taking him over. That was one reason why he liked sword practice; the absence of thought was a barrier to keep him himself.
“We need to find an Aes Sedai,” Bashere muttered. “If those rumors are true . . . the Light burn my eyes, I wish we had never let that one leave.”
A good many people had fled Caemlyn in the days after Rand and the Aiel seized the city; the Palace itself nearly emptied overnight. There were people Rand would liked to have found, people who had helped him, but they had all vanished. Some still slipped away. One fleeing in those first days had been a young Aes Sedai, young enough that her face still lacked the distinctive agelessness. Bashere’s men sent word when they found her at an inn, but when she found out who Rand was, she ran screaming. Literally screaming. He never even learned her name or Ajah. Rumor said another was somewhere in the city, but a hundred rumors were loose in Caemlyn now, a thousand, each less likely than the next. Definitely unlikely any would lead to an Aes Sedai. Aiel patrols had spotted several passing Caemlyn by, each plainly going somewhere in a hurry and none with any intention of entering a city occupied by the Dragon Reborn.
“Could I trust any Aes Sedai?” Rand asked. “It was just a headache. My head isn’t hard enough not to ache a little when it’s hit.”
 “However hard your head is, sooner or later you’ll have to trust Aes Sedai. Without them, you’ll never bring all the nations behind you short of conquest. People look for such things. However many of the Prophecies they hear you’ve fulfilled, many will wait for the Aes Sedai to put their stamp on you.”
“I won’t avoid fighting anyway, and you know it,” Rand said. “The Whitecloaks aren’t likely to welcome me into Amadicia even if Ailron agrees, and Sammael certainly won’t give up Illian without a fight.” Sammael and Rahvin and Moghedien and . . . harshly he forced the thought from his consciousness. It was not easy. They came without warning, and it was never easy.
A thump made him look over his shoulder. Arymilla lay in a heap on the paving stones. Karind was kneeling to pull her skirts down over her ankles and chafe her wrists. Elegar swayed as though he might join Arymilla in a moment, and neither Nasin nor Elenia appeared in much better state.  Mention of the Forsaken could do that, especially since Rand had told them that Lord Gaebril really had been Rahvin. He was not sure how much they believed, but just considering the possibility was enough to unhinge the knees of most. Their shock was why they were still alive. Had he believed they had served knowingly . . . No, he thought. If they’d known, if they were all Darkfriends, you’d still use them.
At least he was telling the truth. The Aes Sedai were all trying to keep it secret, the Forsaken being free; they feared that knowing would just bring more chaos and panic. Rand was trying to spread the truth. People might panic, but they would have time to recover. The Aes Sedai way, knowledge and panic might come too late for recovery. Besides, people had a right to know what they faced.
“Illian won’t hold out long,” Bashere said. Rand’s head whipped back around, but Bashere was too old a campaigner to speak of what he should not where others could hear. He was just taking the talk away from the Forsaken. Though if the Forsaken, or anything else, made Davram Bashere nervous, Rand had not seen it yet. “Illian will crack like a nut hit by a hammer.”
“You and Mat worked out a good plan.” The basic idea had been Rand’s, but Mat and Bashere had provided the thousand details that would make it work. Mat more than Bashere.
“An interesting young fellow, Mat Cauthon,” Bashere mused. “I look forward to speaking with him again. He never would say who he studied under. Agelmar Jagad? I hear you’ve both been to Shienar.” Rand said nothing. Mat’s secrets were his own; Rand was not really sure what they were himself. Bashere tilted his head, scratched at a mustache with one finger. “He’s young to have studied under anyone. No older than you. Did he find a library somewhere? I would like to see the books he’s read.”
“You’ll have to ask him,” Rand said. “I don’t know.” He supposed Mat had to have read a book sometime, somewhere, but Mat did not have much interest in books.
Bashere only nodded. When Rand did not want to talk about something, Bashere usually let it alone. Usually.  Egwene Sedai? I’ve heard the Aiel speak of her; they say she’s from your home village, too. You could trust her, couldn’t you?”
“Egwene has other duties,” Rand laughed. A Green sister. If Bashere only knew.
Somara appeared at Rand’s side with his linen shirt and his coat, a fine red wool cut in the Andoran style, with dragons on the long collar and laurel leaves thick on the lapels and climbing the sleeves. She was tall even for an Aiel woman, maybe not quite a hand shorter than he. Like the other Maidens, she had lowered her veil, but the gray-brown shoufa still hid all but her face. “The Car’a’carn will catch a chill,” she murmured.
He doubted it. The Aiel might find this heat nothing out of the ordinary, but already sweat streamed down him nearly as hard as while working the sword. Still, he pulled the shirt over his head and tucked it in, though leaving the laces undone, then shrugged into the coat. He did not think Somara would actually try to put the clothes on him, not in front of others, but this way he would avoid lectures from her and Enaila, and very likely some of the others, along with the herb tea.
To most Aiel he was the Car’a’carn, and so it was with the Maidens. In public. Alone with these women who had chosen to reject marriage and the hearth in favor of the spear, matters became more complicated. He supposed he could stop it—maybe—but he owed it to them not to. Some had already died for him, and more would—he had promised, the Light burn him for it!—and if he could let them do that, he could let them do the rest. Sweat soaked through the shirt immediately and began making dark patches on the coat.
“You need the Aes Sedai, al’Thor.” Rand hoped Bashere was half this dogged when it came to fighting; that was the man’s reputation, but he had only reputation and a few weeks to go by. “You can’t afford to have them against you, and if they don’t at least think they have a few strings tied to you, they might go that way. Aes Sedai are tricksome; no man can know what they’ll do or why.”
“What if I tell you there are hundreds of Aes Sedai ready to support me?” Rand was aware of the Andorans listening; he had to be careful not to say too much. Not that he knew much. What he did know was probably exaggeration and hope. He certainly doubted the “hundreds,” whatever Egwene hinted.
Bashere’s eyes narrowed. “If there’s been an embassy from the Tower, I would know, so . . . ” His voice dropped to a near whisper. “The split? The Tower has really split?” He sounded as if he could not believe the words coming out of his own mouth. Everyone knew Siuan Sanche had been deposed from the Amyrlin Seat and stilled—and executed, so rumor ran—yet to most people a division in the Tower was only conjecture, and few truly believed. The White Tower had remained whole, a monolith towering over thrones, for three thousand years. But the Saldaean was a man who considered all possibilities. He went on in a true whisper, stepping close so the Andorans could not overhear. “It must be the rebels ready to support you. You could strike a better deal with them—they’ll need you as much as you need them, maybe more—but rebels, even Aes Sedai rebels, won’t carry nearly the weight of the White Tower, certainly not with any crown. Commoners might not know the difference, but kings and queens will.”
“They’re still Aes Sedai,” Rand said just as quietly, “whoever they are.” And wherever they are, he thought dryly. Aes Sedai . . . Servants of All . . . the Hall of the Servants is broken . . . broken forever . . . broken . . . Ilyena, my love . . . ruthlessly he quashed Lews Therin’s thoughts. Sometimes they had actually been a help, giving him information he needed, but they were growing too strong. If he did have an Aes Sedai there—a Yellow; they knew the most of Healing—perhaps she . . . there had been one Aes Sedai he trusted, though not until shortly before her death, and Moiraine had left him a piece of advice about Aes Sedai, about every other woman who wore the shawl and the ring. “I’ll never trust any Aes Sedai,” he rasped softly. “I will use them, because I do need them, but Tower or rebel, I know they’ll try to use me, because that is what Aes Sedai do. I’ll never trust them, Bashere.”
The Saldaean nodded slowly. “Then use them, if you can. But remember this. No one resists for long going the way the Aes Sedai want.” Abruptly he barked a short laugh. “Artur Hawkwing was the last, so far as I know. The Light burn my eyes, maybe you’ll be the second.”
The scrape of boots announced an arrival in the courtyard, one of Bashere’s men, a heavy-shouldered, hatchet-nosed young fellow a head taller than his general, with a luxuriant black beard as well as thick mustaches. He walked like a man more used to a saddle under him than his own feet, but he handled the sword at his hip smoothly as he bowed. To Bashere, more than to Rand. Bashere might follow the Dragon Reborn, but Tumad—Rand thought that was his name; Tumad Ahzkan—followed Bashere. Enaila and three other Maidens fastened their eyes on the new Saldaean; they did not really trust any wetlander around the Car’a’carn.
“There is a man has presented himself at the gates,” Tumad said uneasily. “He says . . . it is Mazrim Taim, my Lord Bashere.”

--- layout: carousel title: The Rest is History ---
As a little girl growing up during the 1940’s, Liz knew she wanted to be a doctor. She met resistance in some quarters, however, with a demoralizing message: women can be nurses or teachers, but women are not doctors. Fighting the odds, Liz decided she wouldn’t let others define what she could and couldn’t do.
The phone call was last minute, inconvenient and seemingly a waste of time. Three months later, however, that phone call would be the key to a huge break for Rob and his company.
Stories of a group of pioneering researchers at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, who made remarkable contributions to the advancement of medicine.
What leads to success? Luck? Genes? An inheritance? Those certainly come in handy! But for some people, all they need is the opportunity: a break: These stories examine people who were ready when the opportunity came.
The Rest is History” was created by Becky Lloyd to share some of the hundreds of stories she’s collected through her work as an oral historian. Becky started her career at the University of Utah American West Center in 2001. She’s completed projects with World War II veterans, polio survivors, and medical researchers at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, among other topics. Becky is interested in documenting the stories of a variety of people, places and events.

This is a PyTorch implementation of the paper Primer: Searching for Efficient Transformers for Language Modeling.
The authors do an evolutionary search for transformer architectures. They name the architecture found using the search Primer (PRIMitives searched transformER). Primer EZ is the architecture with the two most robust modifications in Primer compared to the original transformer. Primer EZ trains a lot faster than the vanilla transformer.
The most effective modification found by the search is using a square ReLU instead of ReLU in the position-wise feedforward module.
The next effective modification is a depth-wise $3 \times 1$ convolution after multi-head projection for queries, keys, and values. The convolution is along the sequence dimension and per channel (depth-wise). To be clear, if the number of channels in each head is $d_k$ the convolution will have $1 \times 3$ kernels for each of the $d_k$ channels.
Here is the experiment code, for Primer EZ.
40import torch
41from torch import nn
42
43from labml_helpers.module import Module
44from labml_nn.transformers import MultiHeadAttention
Squared ReLU is used as the activation function in the position wise feedforward module.
47class SquaredReLU(Module):
57 def __init__(self):
58 super().__init__()
59 self.relu = nn.ReLU()
61 def forward(self, x: torch.Tensor):
Apply ReLU
63 x = self.relu(x)
Square it
65 return x * x
68class SpatialDepthWiseConvolution(Module):
d_k
is the number of channels in each head73 def __init__(self, d_k: int, kernel_size: int = 3):
77 super().__init__()
78 self.kernel_size = kernel_size
We use PyTorch’s Conv1d
module.
We set the number of groups to be equal to the number of channels so that it does a separate convolution
(with different kernels) for each channel.
We add padding to both sides and later crop the right most kernel_size - 1
results
83 self.conv = nn.Conv1d(in_channels=d_k, out_channels=d_k,
84 kernel_size=(kernel_size,), padding=(kernel_size - 1,), groups=d_k)
x
has shape [seq_len, batch_size, heads, d_k]
86 def forward(self, x: torch.Tensor):
Get the shape
92 seq_len, batch_size, heads, d_k = x.shape
Permute to [batch_size, heads, d_k, seq_len]
94 x = x.permute(1, 2, 3, 0)
Change the shape to [batch_size * heads, d_k, seq_len]
96 x = x.view(batch_size * heads, d_k, seq_len)
1D convolution accepts input of the form [N, channels, sequence]
99 x = self.conv(x)
Crop the right most kernel_size - 1
results since we padded both sides
101 x = x[:, :, :-(self.kernel_size - 1)]
Reshape to [batch_size, heads, d_k, seq_len]
103 x = x.view(batch_size, heads, d_k, seq_len)
Permute to [seq_len, batch_size, heads, d_k]
105 x = x.permute(3, 0, 1, 2)
108 return x
We extend our original implementation of Multi-Head Attention and add the spatial depth-wise convolution to query, key and value projections.
111class MultiDConvHeadAttention(MultiHeadAttention):
119 def __init__(self, heads: int, d_model: int, dropout_prob: float = 0.1):
120 super().__init__(heads, d_model, dropout_prob)
Multi-Head Attention will create query, key and value projection modules
self.query
, self.key
, and self.value
.
We combine a spatial depth-wise convolution layer to each of them and replace
self.query
, self.key
, and self.value
.
📝 We feel this cleaner implementation is easier to understand since it clearly shows the difference between this and vanilla transformer multi-head attention.
130 self.query = nn.Sequential(self.query, SpatialDepthWiseConvolution(self.d_k))
131 self.key = nn.Sequential(self.key, SpatialDepthWiseConvolution(self.d_k))
132 self.value = nn.Sequential(self.value, SpatialDepthWiseConvolution(self.d_k))


Verb makes it easy to build project documentation using simple markdown templates, with zero configuration required.
Verb's CLI makes kickstarting new markdown documentation a breeze.
For example, to generate a readme for your project just create a template, docs/README.tmpl.md
, and add the following:
# {%= name %}
> {%= description %}
Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem
accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam.
And Verb will build this into README.md
using data from your project's package.json.
Built-in tags

Exaggerate differences between pixels. Works best if you select a region of similarly coloured pixels. It usually reveals compression artefacts but it may also reveal poorly (eg with a translucent pen texture) smudged out names in screenshots.
This gets the minimum and maximum R, G, and B values in the region and scales each channel up, so one differently coloured pixel can skew results quite a bit.


The application deadline is currently targeting: {{currentTimeStringObj.month}} {{currentTimeStringObj.day}} at {{currentTimeStringObj.hour}}

CSS Outline Shorthand
An outline is a line that is drawn around elements, OUTSIDE the borders, to make the element "stand out"
CSS has the following outline properties:
outline-style
outline-color
outline-width
outline-offset
outline
The outline property is a shorthand property for setting the following individual outline properties:
outline-width
outline-style (required)
outline-color
The outline property is specified as one, two, or three values from the list above. The order of the values does not matter.


8.2. else Statement
Like other languages, Python features an else statement that can be paired with an if statement. The else statement identifies a block of code to be executed if the conditional expression of the if statement resolves to a false Boolean value. The syntax is what you expect:
if expression:
expr_true_suite
else:
expr_false_suite
Now we have the obligatory usage example:
if passwd == user.passwd:
ret_str = "password accepted"
id = user.id
valid = True
else:
ret_str = "invalid password entered... try again!"
valid = False
8.2.1. "Dangling else" Avoidance
Python's design of using indentation rather than braces for code block delimitation not only helps to enforce code correctness, but it even aids implicitly in avoiding potential problems in code that is syntactically correct. One of those such problems is the (in)famous "dangling else" problem, a semantic optical illusion.
We present some C code here to illustrate our example (which is also illuminated by K&R and other programming texts):
/* dangling-else in C */
if (balance > 0.00)
if (((balance - amt) > min_bal) && (atm_cashout() == 1))
printf("Here's your cash; please take all bills.\n");
else
printf("Your balance is zero or negative.\n");
The question is, which if does the else belong to? In the C language, the rule is that the else stays with the closest if. In our example above, although indented for the outer if statement, the else statement really belongs to the inner if statement because the C compiler ignores superfluous white space. As a result, if you have a positive balance but it is below the minimum, you will get the horrid (and erroneous) message that your balance is either zero or negative.
Although solving this problem may be easy due to the simplistic nature of the example, any larger sections of code embedded within this framework may be a hair-pulling experience to root out. Python puts up guardrails not necessarily to prevent you from driving off the cliff, but to steer you away from danger. The same example in Python will result in one of the following choices (one of which is correct):
if balance > 0.00:
if balance - amt > min_bal and atm_cashout():
print "Here's your cash; please take all bills."
else:
print 'Your balance is zero or negative.'
or
if balance > 0.00:
if balance - amt > min_bal and atm_cashout():
print "Here's your cash; please take all bills."
else:
print 'Your balance is zero or negative.'
Python's use of indentation forces the proper alignment of code, giving the programmer the ability to make a conscious decision as to which if an else statement belongs to. By limiting your choices and thus reducing ambiguities, Python encourages you to develop correct code the first time. It is impossible to create a dangling else problem in Python. Also, since parentheses are not required, Python code is easier to read.

| Overview |
|---|
|
The Shiloh Shepherd's overall appearance is rather heavy. The back is broad, strong and solid. The head is broad and noble, slightly domed and in proportion to the body. The width and length of the skull are approximately equal with a gently defined stop, strong developed cheekbones, and a gradually tapering muzzle. The muzzle should be predominantly black, the length being equal to that of the forehead, with the lips firmly fitted and solid black. The muzzle should not be long, narrow or snipey in appearance. Both upper and lower thighs are well muscled. The tail is quite long and thickly covered with dense hair, hanging down like a plume. The coat comes in two varieties: smooth and plush. The plush coat is medium-length with a dense undercoat and has a distinct mane from the neck to the chest. Hair should not be more than 5" (12 cm) in length. The smooth coat is thick and medium-length with the outer hair being harsh to the touch. Bred as companions, Shilohs have loyal and outgoing personalities. Many of the breeders in the United States operate out of large farms where the puppies are introduced to a large variety of animals. They were developed to be gentle and loving, able to work with animals and children, while still possessing a trainable drive for working applications, such as assistive service, obedience, or herding. Shiloh Shepherds are reported to be the least territorial when compared to other Shepherd breeds. With proper socialization they adapt easily to a variety of environments and are stable. Extreme aggression or shyness is severely penalized in the breed standard. |
| History |
| A U.S. German Shepherd fancier had been breeding German Shepherd Dogs since the 1960s. She was active in conformation shows as well as Schutzhund, etc. In the ’70s she set her standard back to the old style, very large type Shepherds. She spent the next decade pursuing her goals for the old style Shepherds. In 1990 she separated her breed from AKC and started to maintain registry records as Shiloh Shepherds. Shiloh Shepherds are believed to have Alaskan Malamute and German Shepherd in their bloodlines (Alaskan Shepherd). The International Shiloh Shepherd Registry, Inc. (ISSR) was incorporated in 1991. There are currently several different Shiloh Shepherd registries. |

|
| Dependent Format (d{}) |
| Description | Dependent Format: Tries to best fit the data entered into the supplied mask that is derived from an elements value |
| Format | d{element:value1=format1;value2=format2;...} |
| Example | using d{countr:USA=#####;Canada=A#A-#A#}, 55555 is valid if the element with id or name is equal to USA |
|
| The Format data type sets the element to use a Format | |
| A Format is way to best fit a user's entry into a mask | |
| Sanwaf-UI automatically sets an oninput event handler to elements that have the format data type. the event handler formats as the user enters data | |
| Four special characters are provided to be used in formats: | |
| # | - accepts a number | |
| #[ ] | - accepts a number within a range: #[1-12] - accepts a number meeting a specified set of values: #[4,5,6] - accepts a number bound by date settings: #[yy-yy(+10)] Supported date variables include: yy, yyyy, mm, dd Format: #[ variable( <+/-> # ) ] For example: #[ yy( -10 ) - yy( +10 ) ] - accepts a year in 'yy' format in the range of up to 10 years old to 10 years in the future | |
| A | - accepts an Uppercase Alphabetic character | |
| a | - accepts a lowercase Alphabetic character | |
| c | - accepts an Alphabetic character of any case | |
| x | - accepts any character of any case | |
| Use a combination of the special and non-special characters to create formats | |
| To use the four special characters in the format itself, you will need to escape them: | |
| \# \A \a \c \x \[ \] \| | |
| For example, if you want the end user to enter a telephone number formatted in a specific way: | |
| data-sw-type="f{(###) ### - ####}" | |
|
|
|
| if you want the end user to enter a credit card that begins with a specific number: | |
| data-sw-type="f{#[3,4,5,6]###-####-####-####}" | |
|
|
|
| Or, if you want the end user to enter a credit card expiry date within the range of this year to ten years from now: | |
| data-sw-type="f{#[1-12] / #[yy-yy(+10)]}" | |
|
|
|
| | |
| You can also have multiple formats combined into one format field using the 'OR' opperator (||) | |
| For example to use a single field to capture US Zip codes in short & long form, along with the Canadian Postal Code format | |
| data-sw-type="f{##### || #####-#### || A#A-#A#}" | |
|
|
|
| The Dependent Format data type sets the element to use a Format when a different element equals a specific value | |
| Sanwaf-UI automatically sets an oninput event handler to elements that have the dependent format data type. the event handler formats as the user enters data | |
| See the Format Data type for instructions on creating formats | |
| The dependent format syntax is as follows | |
| d{ element : value1 = format1 ; value2 = format2 } | |
| where | |
| element - is the id or name of the element you want to make the format dependent on | |
| value - is the value of the element for the given format to be used | |
| format - is any format as specified it the format data type section above | |
| For example, if you want to use a country element to determine the type of format to apply (zip or postal code): | |
| data-sw-type="d{ country : USA = ##### || #####-#### ; Canada = A#A-#A# }" | |
|
|
|
| The "data-sw-related" attribute sets element relationships. Use this attribute to specify which fields are mandatory based on other related elements | |
| For example, if you want 2 password fields, pass1 & pass2, to equal each other, you would set the "data-sw-related" attribute in pass2 as such: | |
| data-sw-related="pass1:=" | |
| this specifies that pass2 is required if pass1 is populated, and their values must equal each other. | |
| Relationships have a 2 part format: | |
| RelatedToElementPart : RelationshipSpecificationPart | |
| Where "RelatedToElementPart" is the element id of the related field and "RelationshipSpecificationPart" is one of: | |
| For complex relationships, encapsulate the 2 part format with parenthesis's "( RelatedToElementPart : RelationshipSpecificationPart )" and specify the && and/or the || operators | |
| For example: | data-sw-type="( element1 : value1 || value2 ) || ( element2 : value1 || value2 ) && ( element3 : value1 || value2 )..."  Global and Endpoint |
| Global parameter protection protects named parameters globally regardless request URI origin |
| Endpoint parameter protection protects named parameters for a specified set of URIs |
| Endpoints are used by Sanwaf-UI-2-Server when you include the --endpoint option to create the Sanwaf-Server XML file |
| You add the data-sw-actions attribute to specify what endpoints you want related to the form. If not provided, the form's action attribute will be used |
|
| For example: |
| You have 2 URIs: /foo & /bar |
(1) Global parameter protection for "name". Regardless of request origin (URI), Sanwaf-Server will ensure the parameter is secured based on the data-sw-* attributes specified |
(2) Endpoint parameter protection for "name" for URI /foo. Sanwaf-Server will ensure the parameter is secured based on the data-sw-* attributes specified only if the URI matches |
|
| Endpoints allow you to have different data-sw-* attribute configurations for identically named parameters in differing URIs |
| For example: |
| /foo?name - can be configured to have a length of 5 |
| /bar?name - can be configured to have a length of 30 |
|
| Endpoints do not apply to Sanwaf-UI but need to be specified on any form where you dynamically set the action attribute |
| If not specified, the form's action attribute will be used which wont work if the action is dynamically set |
| To overcome this, you will need to specify all the possible form actions using the data-sw-actions attribute |
|
| For a given form add the data-sw-action attribute and specify the URIs you want Sanwaf-Server to protect |
| Use the ":::" separator to specify more than one URI |
| For Example: |
| Using the form's action attribute: <form action="/foo"> |
| Not using the form's action attribute: <form data-sw-actions="/foo:::/bar"> |
|
| See the Sanwaf-Server documentation for more information |

This demo uses ServiceWorker to mock responses for an API.
ServiceWorker acts as a network proxy, and therefore can be
used to get fixed mock responses, to respond with.
This uses a special header known as X-Mock-Response
in order to instruct the ServiceWorker whether to send the request
to the network or return a mock response.
This demo implements a Mock Weather API in order to provide us with fake weather information in response to requests, making testing of client side applications a lot easier and faster to develop front end applications, with no third party bandwidth usage. That's a yayyy for you and your company.
Updates when you send a weather request
Because of it being a Mock API, a random response within a fixed range is returned everytime a request is sent.

This installation, presented at National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai, was a part of the “Nature Embedded” exhibition. The exhibition was inaugurated by Paola Antonelli .
Mid Day reports about the exhibition :
“To develop an understanding one has to look at things from other’s perspectives”. Through the means of this exhibit we tried to recreate an experience for the visitor to see the world from the point of view of a bird, dog and a fish. The view is not just a physical sensation but a perception of the world. In our design, we incorporated the unbiased, natural and permanent physical features of the eye like the shape of the vision cone and color sensitivity. Further, there was an attempt to showcase the world as perceived by a dog travelling down an alley, a fish inside a sea of pollution and a bird flying in the sky. These perceptions were biased human reflections which seem to affect these characters.
The narratives and visuals were precisely designed by experts. I am grateful to have worked with them.
My contribution was largely towards designing the interactions with the game and implementing them using electronics.
The environment was designed similar to a traditional Indian street. We tried to capture the hustle bustle and festivities using audio and visuals.
The physical device made using teak wood. It contains an IMU which computes the suggested gestures and moves the character in the games.
The interaction technique was found after conducting a small internal study. It was similar for all the characters to all quick, easy and intuituve transfer of control by the user at the site.
The environment of the fish showcased a narrative in which a fish explores the area.It finds pollution and garbage while moving along a path. Then a giant whale is seen being captured by hunters which the fish along with other smaller fishes sets free. There was a dreamy treatment given to the visuals.
The bird environment depicts a bird flying back from its quest to gather food to its nest. She sees chimneys, electric lines, fountains and lands from far above.
We received great response and feedback from kids and other audiences. People loved the quality of the visuals and idea of exploring the world through the “animals”.
The project was a part of my work done under Prof. Ravi and Prof. Ajanta at IDC. The super talented team at dsource and ekalpa project made the project possible. They include Vajra, Pranisha, Deep, Shyam, Herold, Ravi, Malay, Swati, Vinaya, RamP (Audio) and other folks whose name I intermittently forgot.
Cheers,
Rohit

Have you seen the Disney movie, 'Wall-E'? It tells a story about an adorable robot that spends all of its time going through 'each and every' piece of waste because it is commanded to do so. Wall-E, the robot, is also incredibly skilled at 'sorting' the pile of garbage. One day Wall-E finally finds a form of life on deserted Earth and... blah blah. Not important. Do you see where I'm getting at? Enumerables are like our Wall-E! We can use the enumerables to iterate over, or go through each and every element of, a given collection class (i.e. an array or a hash) and tell it to run a block of code while they are at it. Enumerables can also sort them by size, alphabetically, lexicographically, randomly, etc. There are just so many different types of useful enumerables out there. In this blog, I will specifically cover Enumerable#cycle.
What does a cycle do? What does the word 'cycle' mean? Yup, it cycles. It repeates over and over an operation or a block of code, much like so:
Enumerable#cycle sets each element as an object, then passes and calls a block to each element -- repeatedly. It looks something like: .cycle {|x| puts x}. The cycle will iterate through each element forever until it is interrupted with a break statement. Here is an example of an array being called by .cycle: Notice how the cycle keeps going until we call the break to it?Just like the arrays, we can call .cycle on hashes. Each key and value of the hash will be passed to the block. This also will repeat over and over without stoppage until the break statement. A picture is worth more than a thousand words.
Not difficult at all, huh? Always keep this enumerable in mind for situations where you might need to repeate a block run over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.


Cardi B drops impressive new freestyle: “Just a little something till I finish up the album”
"I be in a mansion and you be in my mentions"
Cardi B has posted a new minute-long freestyle on Instagram in the build-up to her new album.
The video shows the rapper at home in front of various food items, and concludes with the line: “It’s just a little something till I finish up the album.” The clip ends with Cardi yelling the words “suck my dick” as she celebrates delivering the freestyle perfectly. Watch the clip below.
While the rapper has been busy on appearing on reality TV show Rhythm + Flow, as well as working on new music, it’s also been confirmed that she’ll be acting in the upcoming Fast & Furious 9.
The franchise’s star Vin Diesel broke the news on October 22 when he posted an Instagram video of himself with the rapper on set in the UK.
“I know I’m exhausted, we gave every single thing we could for this movie, we put it all on the table, put it all out there,” he says to the camera. Cardi agrees: “I’m tired, but I can’t wait. I ain’t gon’ front, this gonna be the best one.”
Deadline confirmed that she has landed a small role in the movie. The artist recently appeared in Hustlers alongside stars Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu.
Puerto Rican reggaeton artist Ozuna – with whom Cardi B has collaborated in the past, most notably on the DJ Snake song ‘Taki Taki’ – will also appear in Fast & Furious 9 and contribute to the movie’s soundtrack.

entries.filter=file|folder|image|type:some type|geo|suffix:file suffixesIf you specify suffix:file suffixes then this will only match entries that have files with the given suffix. This can be a comma separated list of suffixes, e.g.:
entries.filter="suffix:.ppt,.pptx,.pdf"Or negate them with "!":
entries.filter=!file|!folder|!image|!type:some type|!geoSo, you could show all of the georeferenced entries in a map and all of the non-georeferenced entries in a list:
{:lheading Date Ranges Using the following attributes you can filter entries based on their date. You can specify a from date, a to date or both. The absolute dates should be of the form "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm". The relative dates are either relative to the other date (if given) or the current time. Relative dates are of the form "+|- minute|hour|day|week|month|year"{map message="" prefix="==Map=="}} { {tree message="" prefix="==Non georeferenced entries==" entries.filter="!geo"}}

{For example, if you are creating a wiki page full of charts (e.g., here) that refer to another point data entry for their data then you use the property like, e.g.:{property "some name"="some value" "some other name"="some other value"}}
{:lheading Message attribute Some of the tags can result in an error message (e.g., image not found, entry not found, etc). You can specify a different message (or blank) with message attribute:{property entry="9b2f87fc-91f2-485c-8035-7ef588c35fda"}}
{For example, you can set up a wiki template that shows an image attachment and a list of entries in a sub-folder called "Links". If you used the below wiki text then you would see displayed "Could not find image" and "Could not find entry" error messages.{someproperty message="some message"}}
{If, however, you specify a blank message then nothing will be shown:{image src="::*"}} { {links entry="Links"}}
{:lheading Prefix/Suffix You can specify prefix and suffix attributes that are only used if the tag was successful. So for example you could specify a heading for the links:{image src="::*" message=""}} { {links entry="Links" message=""}}
{This would only show when there is a Links sub-folder. :lheading Virtual Groups RAMADDA provides a "Virtual Group" entry type. This acts as a Folder except a set of entry IDs or searches can be specified. There are a number of examples available here. The Entry IDs field of the Virtual Group can be a list of specific entries, e.g.:{links entry="Links" message="" prefix="Here are the links:<br>"}}

search.text=text to search search.type=entry type search.bbox=north,west,south,east search.createdate.relative=-1 day search:lheading Linking Normally in a wiki a link to another page is of the form:
[[Page name]]In RAMADDA you can use the name of another entry to create the link. You can use the Add entry link menu to select an entry. This produces wiki text of the form:
[[entry id|Label to show for link]]e.g.:
[[7ca13e52-8efb-4d17-863f-e17027dbcc22|Earthquake data]]You can also just specify an entry by name. Either an absolute path:
[[Top entry/Some other entry]]Or relative to the wiki entry:
[[Some entry]]You can also set the output type for an entry using the hashtag (#) symbol after the entry id:
[[7ca13e52-8efb-4d17-863f-e17027dbcc22#html.table|Earthquake data as a table]]which will override the default display. If the entry with the given name does not exist then the link will take one to the create entry form. :lheading Wiki Properties You can also import content from the current Wiki Page entry or any other entry with the import syntax:
{e.g., if we wanted to show the information tabs for an entry we'd do:{<property> <name="value" pairs>}}
{Which gives us:{information}}

A decadent, easy baked cheesecake filled with white chocolate and topped with fresh berries. Frozen can be substituted out of season.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
For the cheesecake, place the sponge base into the bottom of a 23cm/9in springform cake tin. Drizzle the liqueur over the sponge.
Place the sugar, lemon juice and zest and cornflour into a bowl and whisk together.
Add the cream cheese and beat well. Crack in the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition. Add the vanilla seeds and mix well, then pour in the double cream and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Fold in the raspberries and white chocolate.
Pour the mixture into the cake tin and give the tin a light shake to evenly distribute the mixture.
Place the cake tin into a roasting tin filled to a depth of about 0.5cm/¼in with water. Transfer to the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the cheesecake is just set. Remove from the oven and cool in the tin.
Meanwhile, for the boozy berries, heat a frying pan until hot and place 250g/9oz of the raspberries into the pan. Stir-fry for one minute, then add the raspberry liqueur and carefully flambé.
Stir in the lemon juice and icing sugar, to taste.
Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth, then pass through a sieve, pressing with the back of a spoon, to remove all the seeds.
To serve, cut the cheesecake into wedges and place a piece in the centre of each plate. Spoon some of the remaining raspberries around the plate, drizzle over the boozy berries and top the cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream.

Ok Rich, sorry about the phone call, went celebrating the holidays with a
free bottle of very tasty scotch, I should know, I finished it.....
Talked to Gerald again, looks like we should get something going.... Also,
I can send you a phone number of someone that can assist on your website, and I
can also lend you someone that will respond to e-mails within 24 hours of each
request....
Here is the current situation, as far as Gerald and I discussed so
far... I did not discuss everything with him, so if you speak to him, see
what he thinks.....
1. The Aryan Nations should be centralized, [Idaho] and churches founded
should be named separately, but stay under the banner....
A. Church of Jesus Christ Christian - Idaho - North West
B. Church of the Messiah - New York - North East
C. Church of the Sons of Light - Arkansas - South East
D. Church of Jesus Christ - California [Possibility] - South West
Eventually we should regionalize central zones, like a Michigan and a Texas
Church
I have possibilities in Austria - Spain - Italy
This can regionalize the US and allow outposts to begin and each will have
a qualified quadrant leader....
Leadership Changes
1. High Council - A delegation of 5 that reviews activity and is advisory
to the Director, a 4 of 5 vote would remove the director, the director has a
free hand on minor matters..... Three Pastors from the Spiritual Leadership
Council must always be a part of this.....
2. National Director - someone from the past that is not involved with
either party, like Charlie Juba, or Drew Bostwick, someone that has an excellent
political track record..... These are possibilities, if you have any
ideas, it's all open.... Myself, or Pastor O'Brien should not be
selected.....
3. Minister of Information - Not part of the political machine, an
appointment, someone responsible for answering e-mails, phone calls, operating a
bookstore..... A woman would be fine......
4. Treasurer should be O'Brien, collect the mail, process the orders
to the Information Dept... Delegate funds and/or mailings from a central
office......
A. Spiritual leadership council..... The Identity ministry is
anarchy, people preach whatever they want, from UFO's to hollow earth, a council
of Pastors will review beliefs and performance of the practitioners.... Consists
of:
World Chaplain - Responsible for the Radio ministry and public releases,
others can contribute, but responsibility lies on the World Chaplain.....
Synod - 4 other Pastors that review activity, advisory and
research....
Ranks -
World Chaplain
Senior Pastors, Biblical Priests Law - 30 years of age with 3 years of
proven study would prefer 6 years
Junior Pastors, those allocated the title of Pastor with less than 6 years
study, or are under 30 years of age....
So there should be three public persons at all times, National Director,
World Chaplain, Minister of Information....
We can supply the following.....
Identity Materials - Radio Program - Women's Org. - we have a response
team, for the internet, but no Mailing address yet... A bookstore and a
Tape/CD program....
I think that my people would be more interested in operating the Spiritual
Leadership Council, Let me think about this some more, one thing that I can
assure you, I have allot of experience operating large organizations, I know how
to do it, and within 60 days I will bet money that we double in size...... I
will pick up one penny from a jEw York sidewalk, and you must find one outside a
synagogue there for this bet.....
I have web materials going back 8 years, so we can provide much... This is
important because everyone that looks at your website sees little, and your
web-guy never responds to e-mails.... It was over 4 months before O'Brien called
me, he had no Idea that I wrote you in June.....
Cincinatus Clause
A Consideration - I will coordinate operations in the beginning, it is very
important that rapid response, quality personnel and efficiency are what people
get for contacting us, no slouching.... The High Council must take over and
maintain the operations of the organization, once established, I will be
more than happy to be advisory only for organizational things.....
I am a Pastor, this is what I want to do, so the Spiritual Leadership thing
is more my piece of cake..... Operating an organization interferes with the
ministry, it always has, and always will......
More next e-mail......
Consider these possibilities.....
