They are:

1. how can i bind  a custom services to a button widget on a mush up!

2. stopping a timer events and set a custom timestamp for its;

3. How can i trigger an event on other event;

4. Interacting two things's properties in a subscription or a service.

A quick review of the ThingWorx Pub/Sub model:

An Event is a custom-defined message usually used as a Thing publishing the Event when the value of a property changes. Events can be published on other triggers.

A Subscription listens for a specific Event, then executes the Subscription's Javascript code. 

An Alert is a quick way to define both an Event and the logic for when the Event is published.

A good place to understand how the pieces fit together is this guide:
