Q: Why I'm keep getting error in the output signal? I write a simple Verilog code for calculating inner product between 2 vectors. I don't understand why, but I get an error in the module's output - red signal. There is probably some problem with the result variable.
Does anyone know what I'm missing?
The code -
`resetall

`include "../hdl/params.v"

module ZCalculationParllel(features_vec, weights_vec, bias, predict);

  // Feature vector in size of |NUMBER_OF_PIXELS| * |PIXEL_PRECISION|

Iranian Universities of Medical Sciences Comprehensive Ranking Program (RAJA)
in charge of the Secretariat
Dr. Sara Shahbazi
Faculty member of shahrekord University of Medical Sciences
email: sara.shahbazi@yahoo.com
The ranking of universities nowadays is in line with the fact that organizing issues in a comparative format could facilitate the selection process.The ranking process has exceeded the macro level of organizations and countries, and is now used in small institutions such as schools, hospitals, and especially universities.
Universities are systematic, multidimensional, and complex organizations that are difficult to rank due to their diverse functions. These institutions lay the ground for the realization of development policies. Training specialized human resources, educating elite citizens, producing and researching knowledge, helping economic welfare, training a new pioneering generation in science and technology, offering social services to society, providing life-long learning opportunities, and developing and publishing scientific findings to achieve sustainable development have been among the main functions served by universities in recent years.
Currently, universities face serious challenges. The increasing development of higher education centers, the unprecedented demand for higher education, creation of virtual education courses, internationalization of higher education, expansion of knowledge-based development, access to more resources, recruitment of better intellectual capital, and status promotion have
revolutionized the structure and content of universities. Now, their primary role of knowledge generation and transfer has evolved into the leadership of all existing knowledge in the social context. To achieve their goals, university and higher education institutes must deal with a complex and multi-faceted setting. Universities always face a highly competitive and
challenging environment nationally and internationally. The identification and evaluation of universities' performance have always captured research attention. Universities constantly seek to achieve a better status. The attainment of higher ranks seems to be directly related to the admission of more capable students,which could in return improve the quality university attendees.
Ranking can help to understand the status of an institute, compared to others, based on the measurement of a set of criteria and indicators. In this sense, in the end, a ranked list of universities and institutes is drawn up.
If university ranking can accurately measure the values and capabilities of each institute, it will find wide-ranging applications. The ranking outcome can help to identify the most salient strengths and weaknesses of universities, to specify their path of development and progress, and to encourage university students and faculty members to choose a venue which suits their interests. This way, private or state-run institutes can more easily choose universities that more effectively meet their needs while taking into account their problems as well. The ranking list can also aid in providing more effective programs for universities based on social needs and resource allocation. However, these applications can be realized only if the ranking system can duly measure the capabilities of different universities in relation to social needs using a full and precise set of proper criteria; otherwise, the ranking power will negatively affect the behavior and performance of universities.

1. Johnstons of Elgin Scottish Pure Lambswool Travel Blanket, as little as $65!
Well, this is technically called a throw, but it is also an extraordinary, silky soft, lambswool travel blanket. Fold it up and snuggle up on a long haul flight, use it as a picnic blanket or simply have it handy in your hotel room for extra warmth. Some of us here at DiscountHotels do not leave home without one! Johnstons of Elgin is a Scottish family-owned mill, producing only the finest quality wool products in the Scottish Highlands since 1797. Yes, since 1797. No 'Made In China' going on here. The trick with these gorgeous travel blankets is to know where to purchase them and when to purchase. Our favorite resource is Sierra Trading Post (STP), who unfortunately have fluctuating prices akin to the stock exchange. Regular retail is close to $250 each from high-end retailers, but if one signs up for STP email coupons, we have seen prices recently as low as $61-$65. Prices vary, patterns vary. However, for the ridiculously modest outlay, this is one of our very top, all-time choices for affordable luxury on the road.
2. LePow Portable Wireless Speaker, $25.
It's packaged in a reusable travel cup, it's tiny, works also as a speaker phone, delivers good sound up to 30ft from any blue-tooth device, comes in three groovy colors and according to reviews we have seen, folks absolutely love it. We do too, especially the Funky Orange version. Amazon currently offer the LePow speaker for around $25, recommended retail is around $70. Slip it into your carry-on bag or into a purse, at 6.6 ounces, with 360 degree surround sound and about 7 hours of battery, it's music to any traveler's ears.
3. Luxe City Guides, Priceless!
Snarky, sassy and rather sensational, we totally heart the range of city guides produced by Luxe. They are not for everyone though, as these guides will take you where most guide books do not dare to go. Opinionated? Heck, yes. Funny, yes. Useful, absolutely. Check them out for yourself, you will know with a quick flip through of one of these ultra-light, yet densely packed guides whether they speak your language. Perfect for savvy travelers who want the inside scoop on anything fabulous and fun in major global cities.
4. Hyperlapse By Instagram, Free.
Launched in 4Q 2014, when you put one of these on your phone, your travel footage will look like Spielberg shot it.
Admit it, we have all been there! There you are, in an faraway place trying to capture the essence of what you are experiencing, with amateur tools, only to be disappointed when reviewing the footage later. Not any more, fellow travelers, check out Hyperlapse. In a nutshell it allows you to capture and share moving time lapse videos. Show and tell is always best. Here is footage with and without Hyperlapse. Wired magazine raved that "it is like having a $15,000 video set-up in your hand".
To say we love it too would be a serious understatement. And the price is unbeatable.
5. Pan Am Luggage Tags, $11.
Pan Am may not be flying high anymore, but the legacy lives on through their online store packed with Pan Am stuff that will bring a tear to travelers of a certain age/era. Marc Jacobs collaborated with Pan Am to produce a line of travel bags in 2008 that were affordable and fabulous. Currently Pan Am bag prices are sky high, but for an affordable piece of memorabilia, we love these luggage tags. Eleven bucks a pop and there will be no mistaking your bag in the lobby or at the airport.


The River Damsel: Match The Hatch? No...Higa's S.O.S.!!
Fish Tuesday this week, has to go down as one of my more epic days on the water. Hands down. You see, I had to drop off a dog to be groomed, went to my hair appt., picked up doughnuts for a hungry teenager, and flew to Western Rivers to rent boots for my son, who finally was willing to join his mom on the river! But, of course that all changed when I got to the shop. I received a text that he had changed his mind and was going out with friends. Ok...I understand the need to hang out with your peers rather than your mother...But, if he had only known what he was about to see this day on the river...Well, let's just say that he totally made the wrong decision! First, a beautiful day around 75 degrees and sunny skies. Then...the pasture walk. I had my choice of pastures to walk through...I could say hello to the goats, or the llamas, or the cattle, or the horses...I picked the horses! I love this magnificent animal. So majestic...And friendly!! Ha.
I couldn't visit too long, as it was already 2:30 pm and I was probably missing a hatch that started an hour before I got there! But, it hadn't started yet or maybe it just wasn't going to happen on this day. I put on my lucky yellow hat (Kirk Werner...So sorry, I forgot to pack the banana to test out that yellow banana/fishing theory of yours.) I had this new green drake nymph that I was dying to try even though there wasn't any buzzing around. But, I knew there were golden stones.
So, I put the two together on a nymph rig and this is what I got! I should have known better than to fish deep! Hello, Mr. Rocky Mountain Whitefish. And on the green drake. Lol.
It was time for revenge...To find real trout. As I searched my fanny pack, a caddis landed on my hand. Nice! A ring here, a ring there. This slowpoke needed to hurry it up! I was hunting all through my pack to find a Higa's S.O.S. nymph...Great, I had forgotten that too! I had a new dozen and left them in my other shirt pocket. But, wait! I found one in the bottom corner of the pack that must have fallen out of my fly box. That would last me maybe a half hour...ha! So, putting the dry dropper of caddis and S.O.S., I was ready. The S.O.S. This is one amazing nymph fly!! There isn't really anything quite like it. In a hatch or without a hatch...it can do the job. Mr. Reliable. Thank you, Spencer Higa, for creating a masterpiece of a pattern.
More rings. Fish were jumping. And I was in the middle of it all. No other fishermen to share the water with either! I was in a fishing paradise... I laid the caddis down ever so softly. The S.O.S falling beneath. Wham! Incoming! And again and again!
Besides the lucky yellow hat, I brought these. Maybe I will continue to bring them!
As I left, the horses were gone, but these guys were next to my car.
Even when I am standing in the middle of two waves of caddis. = ) Go figure.
Just thought I'd let you know, I was out in your neck of the woods this week. I had an afternoon to play hookie today. Need I say more than the coveted green drake on the middle provo? I'm not sure if there's another day or not, but I fished up from midway lane. If ever there was a time to catch on a dry, this may be your window. hatch from about 10-2pm. I hope they're still going tomorrow if you decide to go.
RR ~ Yes, I will be fishing this weekend and hoping for a few of the "green guys". But, going to a less crowded river... = ) Glad you got out to fish this great hatch.
Believe it or not, I didn't see another angler where I fished yesterday. The other parking lots were terribly crowded though. Good luck and have fun.
Nice going. I need to find a recipe for the SOS!
Howard ~ I have added the tutorial...Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
Spencer's pattern is a great pattern!
Bill ~ I guess that I should be totally satisfied with such a big day, no matter how I got them in my net! Haha. An under water gal am I!!


Consumer trust in banks has taken a hit during recent economic disasters but a new poll by Mintel Comperemedia indicates that by participating in social media banks can claw back some of that lost consumer faith.
The Mintel Comperemedia poll found that half of bank customers have less faith in their bank than they did two years ago and less than half consider their bank to be a "trustworthy organization".
The same poll found that nearly a quarter believed social networking websites to be a useful source of information for making purchasing decisions.
Mintel concluded that banks should involve themselves in social media websites as a way to connect with consumers and attract new customers. Of their respondents, 43% said they use social media websites for more than just staying in touch with the people they know and almost a quarter believed social media to be a useful source of information for making purchasing decisions.
"Nearly one in three social network users value the opinions and recommendations of family and friends over industry experts, or any other source of information," said Susan Menke, vice-president of financial services with Mintel Comperemedia.
"Banks can take advantage of that established trust to promote confidence in their brands," she added.

Sinn has done it again. Another military type watch. This time, Sinn has released the Military Type III watch. Another Japan only Limited Edition, 300 pieces. I have to say that the watch looks interesting.

We define a great bar by its selection of drinks, tasty pub grub and location. And when the temperatures are hot, there's no better place to be than a beachfront bar sipping on a cold cocktail.
Myrtle Beach has some of the hottest beachfront bars along the Atlantic Coast, and when you're at one of these bars, like Kenny Chesney sings, "no shoes, no shirt, no problem." So the next time you visit Myrtle Beach, make sure you visit its 5 best beachfront bars.
Oceanfront Bar & Grill has been a Myrtle Beach tradition and favorite for more than 60 years. Located on the boardwalk and with a spectacular view of the Atlantic Ocean, this iconic spot serves great food and ice cold brews. It has also some of the best live music around, with live acoustic music shows every day during the summer. Enjoy the atmosphere, the views and the nice ocean breeze you feel while relaxing on the patio.
8th Avenue Tiki Bar & Grill prides itself in bringing you "Good vibes. Good food. Good music. Good times." And it does so with its beach-like decorations, complete with tiki statues and a bamboo bar, live music blaring throughout the summer months and a full menu. You can choose from flavorsome appetizers, sandwiches, seafood, steaks and pizzas, but the menu items that are a total crowd pleaser are the 2-foot skewers. Eat on the patio during the day, and bring your night to life inside the bar with 8th Avenue's drink specials and entertaining crowds.
You'll find McAdoo's Beach Bar nestled right on the beach waiting to be the beachfront bar that wows you with its location, fantastic cocktails and large covered live music stage. The latter is what really draws people in as it's the only beachfront bar with an outdoor stage music venue. McAdoo's is open daily from 11 a.m. – 2 a.m., leaving plenty of time for you to stop by and take in all this hot nightlife spot has to offer its visitors.
At Sharkey's you'll quickly learn the fun never stops, and there's always fun to be had. Sit on the deck — which has an amazing oceanfront view — and enjoy a delicious seafood meal made from fresh ingredients and prepared by the one and only Chef Lenny Edwards. If you're staying in Myrtle Beach during a summer weekend, drop by and show off your singing skills during a karaoke night or listen and dance along to one of the bands or DJs playing that night.
If you're looking for a little more livelier action, then check out Ocean Annie's, a beach tavern loved by locals and tourists alike. With live music on the pool deck and easy access to the beach, it's easy to dance the day away and then jump in the pool (or ocean!) to cool off.
Whether you want to eat with a beautiful oceanfront view, relax with a cold drink in hand feeling the ocean breeze or dance and mingle with locals and other tourists to live music, Myrtle Beach has the best beachfront bars offering all of the above.

Health social enterprise backed by Big Society Capital closes down
14 January 2016 by Andy Hillier
Buddy Enterprises, which provided digital health tools, was subject to a winding-up petition from LGT Capital Invest over its failure to pay interest
Buddy: backed by Big Society Capital
A health social enterprise that received £300,000 through a Big Society Capital-backed fund has shut down after the investment intermediary involved in the deal requested a winding-up notice for the non-payment of interest on a loan.
The health social enterprise Buddy Enterprises was set up in 2012 to provide digital tools that support therapy services. One product allowed patients to use text messaging to keep daily diaries of what they were doing and how they were feeling. It was used by 12 NHS trusts and a range of private and third sector organisations.
In 2013, BSC, the government-backed social investment wholesaler, invested £10m in the investment intermediary Impact Ventures UK to provide growth capital for social enterprises. In May 2014, Impact Ventures UK invested £300,000 in Buddy.
But on Tuesday a petition to wind up Buddy was published in The Gazette, the official public record of certain statutory notices, including those relating to insolvency.
The notice says the winding-up petition was requested by a creditor called LGT Capital Invest, which is a partner in Impact Ventures UK alongside the bank Berenberg.
An informed source told Third Sector that the winding-up notice was issued after the non-payment of interest, believed to be less than £10,000. The source said Buddy had struggled to secure deals with NHS trusts because of ongoing budgets cuts and efficiency savings in the health service.
Buddy's unaudited accounts show that it made a loss of £100,721 in the financial year ending 28 February 2015.
The source said Buddy had been unable to secure "patient investment and follow-on funding from its current investors". They said it was felt that the investors acted in an "anti-social impact" way.
The Impact Ventures UK website says Buddy employed eight people, but Third Sector understands that staffing numbers have gradually reduced over the past year and Buddy's chief executive, Syed Abrar, and its client director, Kat Cormack, were the only two remaining staff members when it was closed.
Both Abrar and Cormack have been made redundant.
Abrar said in a statement: "I am deeply disappointed we could not, despite our best efforts, find the funding or reach a mutually beneficial agreement with our investors to continue supporting our beneficiaries. Over the last three years, we have made a huge difference to many people's lives, and the feedback we received from NHS clinicians and patients was overwhelmingly positive. As a team we would like to thank all our supporters, including the services we have worked with, staff and other stakeholders."
Impact Ventures UK said in a statement: "We have been instructed that, due to a clause in the shareholders' agreement, it is not possible for IVUK, or anyone else, to make a comment."
Impact Ventures UK said that the clause did not permit parties to make public statements without the written consent of all the stakeholders.
Keith Starling, interim chief executive of BSC, said in a statement: "We are confident that the intermediaries we invest through do all they can to support the organisations they invest in and ensure positive social impact."

Adland reports on a sticker stunt for a miniseries on USA Network. It's a lame attempt to try to do something "outrageous" and it falls flat. It's neither unique nor outrageous as they claim it to be. It's a sticker stunt, not an ad, and even the sticker is boring. Check out the comments on the post to see more and a brilliant use of a sticker on money done back in 1999.
TBWA is recruiting and apparently age doesn't matter. It's a great spot. I love that the kid's toy car has an alarm on it.
"Thomas Early, until today a senior partner and director of finance at Ogilvy until he resigned, and Shona Seifert, a former senior partner and executive group director, entered their pleas in the chambers of U.S. District Court Judge Richard Berman in lower Manhattan this afternoon. Both were brought into court in handcuffs.
Mr. Early and Ms. Seifert each are charged with one count of conspiracy and 10 counts of false claims. If convicted of all counts, each faces up to 100 months in prison. Each was released on $25,000 cash bail or the equivalent and personal recognizance. They were required to surrender their passports. Federal prosecutors allege Mr. Early and Ms. Seifert inflated Ogilvy's labor costs from May 1999 through April 2000 on the $145 million White House Office of National Drug Control Policy account. Mr. Early, 48, and Ms. Seifert, 43, allegedly directed certain Ogilvy employees to revise already completed time sheets to show they had worked longer on the contract than recorded and to record on the time sheets that they'd spent a specified amount of time on the account whether they actually worked that time or not."
Do any of you think that this will cause a wave throughout the ad industry? I mean, have timesheets ever been accurate? Can timesheets ever be totally accurate? Will other clients of O&M and other agencies worry that they are being/have been swindled? This could cause a stink.

AMD 9,808,684 to the "City of Smile" Charitable Foundation. The next beneficiary of "The Power of One Dram" is known
IDBank and Idram have summed up the next program of "The Power of One Dram" initiative․ The entire amount of "one drams" gathered during January and February – AMD 9,808,684 was transferred to the "City of Smiles" charitable foundation.
This is another support of IDBank and Idram to children with life-threatening diseases. "During January and February, the companies directed the "one drams" gathered to the healthcare sector. We strongly care about the health of children and urge our customers to make even more active payments through the Idram system. Let me remind you that customers do not pay a single penny more: "one drams" are provided by IDBank and Idram for each payment made by customers", said Idram director Arsen Kdenyan.
The companies also announced the name of the next beneficiary. In March and April, the next program of "The Power of One Dram" initiative will be aimed at "My Forest Armenia" environmental non-profit organization. The gathered amount will be directed to the solution of the most important and vital issue from the point of view of the ecology of our state and our whole planet in general. "My Forest Armenia" was founded in 2019 with the aim of increasing the forest cover of Armenia through tree planting and care measures. During the 2.5 years of its activity, the organization has afforested about 150 hectares, planting more than 385,000 trees in Lori and Tavush.
"It is good when people plant individual trees, but when millions of trees are put together and become a forest, their power is multiplied, because forests are incredibly complex systems that help fight against desertification and degradation of Armenia's lands, increase water resources, preserve biodiversity and so much more," said Andre Gumuchdjian, the organization's founder. According to him, this year the organization will plant more than 400,000 trees, using only endemic species of Armenia – oak, pine, wild pear, ash, maple, and a number of shrub species as they are important to ensure a rich ecosystem.
According to Tatevik Vardevanyan, head of Communications unit at IDBank, the environment is one of the key areas of IDBank and Idram's corporate social responsibility programs. "Now we have an excellent opportunity to contribute to the solution of a vital problem with our customers and users. "Forests are the lungs of our planet, and the creation and restoration of forests must always be in the center of our attention," says Tatevik Vardevanyan.
If you want to become a goodwill ambassador of "The Power of One Dram", all you need to do is to make a payment through the Idram&IDBank application, Idram.am and IDBanking.am online platforms and terminals of both companies. With Idram&IDBank application, it is possible to make payments in more than 8300 points of sale, in 750 online stores, as well as for all the services available in the system.

I like to read a good range of books. In any given month I'll read a couple of chicklit books, some good quality fiction, a classic, a YA book, a cookbook….I also love non-fiction. As an oh-so-precocious child I developed a real hunger for learning and picking up knowledge, and to this day I love sitting down with a good book on current events, history, geography, science….
In this wikipedia age, where we can all google a fact at the drop of a hat, I love the longer, more in-depth information you get from a book. The narrative, the depth of research, the curating of material all means that I often finish a good non-fiction book feeling like I've truly learned something. If web articles and newspaper pieces are the splashy, fun singles of the writing and learning world (and as a blogger, believe when I say that's meant with no disrespect!), books are the lovingly crafted albums, full of detail, changes in tone, and storytelling.
My latest non-fiction book was One Child, by ex-WSJ, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Mei Fong. I find social history absolutely fascinating, particularly when it applies to the recent past. I'd read a few good op-eds on China's recent relaxing of the one-child-policy, so when I saw this book on the shelf at Daunt, I had to pop it on my pile of books to buy. I always seem to emerge from that shop with a pile of things to read – no restrained 'just picking up the book I came in for' here!
This is a great book, and an important one. Mei Fong weaves an interesting tale, taking in politics, economics and history in a clear and concise way, and seamlessly building in stories from the families and individuals affected by the strictures of the one child policy. I knew a fair amount about this legislation (as tight as China's media control is, every so often a horror story would emerge), but I learned so much more while reading this book. I was really interested in reading and learning more about the more relaxed policies of the 1970s, with the mantra of fewer, longer, later when it came to children. I found myself wondering what kind of world we'd live in if that had been the policy pursued.
There were several chilling sections of the book, and the human cost of the policy is vast. Fong's exploration of loss, isolation and family breakdown exacerbated or created by the rules and regulations surrounding the one child policy left me saddened and deeply glad to live in a country where such decisions are not governed by bureaucracy. I hope that one day the same will be true of everywhere. China is by no means alone in trying to monitor and enforce family planning.
One element I hadn't really thought about with regards to the one child policy was the economics. I think when regarding something as brutal and huge as the one child policy it's natural to focus more on the human right abuses, the cost to people, but I found Fong's examination of the money side of things very interesting too. The fact that there will be many many millions of Chinese OAPs with a much smaller tax-paying-base to support them, is a big factor to consider, given the current importance of China and its economy in the global field. It's also interesting to consider how many nations are struggling with family planning – while in this part of Europe we do not have government policies preventing families expanding, we do have several nations actively encouraging reproduction to help bolster populations – some nations such as Denmark are having babies at below replacement rate (currently c. 1.6), others like France are incentivising childbearing and slightly larger families through taxation and pouring money into childcare and education. What this means for politics, social structure and economics remains to be seen – I must find some books on this!
Well written, well researched and full of great details, this book managed the perfect balance of hard-hitting facts and well crafted storytelling. And best of all for a piece of non-fiction, it's made me want to go and learn more. If you're interested in China, politics, history or social studies, I would heartily recommend this book.

How fast/powerful before back half?
Hi yall, new to the forums here at stangnet.
Looking for some experience. My main question is how much horsepower can be used with the factory rear setup before requiring a back half installation? Is it out of the question to run be available to run 8s 1/4 miles in a 3400lb car (approx 1200hp)?
I currently have a 1969 mustang. I'd like to run a 10pt cage, 4 link, 9 inch, and tubs with good coilovers, but I want to know if I should change my build up to include a back half or even a full chassis. Thanks!
if you want to run 8s in the quarter mile, then you best be building a full chassis car. 8s is way too quick for a stock chassis or even a back halfed car. the stock chassis, depending on year, is generally good to about the high 11s, and a back halfed car is good to about mid to high 10s. quicker than that and you need a full chassis car.
now since you want to run a ten point cage, you may as well build a full chassis to go along with it. the amount of work involved isnt that much more really.
Of the full chassis options, what would you recommend as far as a fairly regular street driven car that would see hard strip and drag use. I see roadster shop and competitors offer the full 2x4 frame but that would also require a cage. S&W offers the full tube chassis which is what I was leaning toward. Ultimately I'm not sure what would save me time, money, and weight.
Before it sounds like I'm talking purely hypothetically: the whole goal behind this is to build a big bore, TT sbf on 93 pump gas, possibly (definitely) with meth to keep timing reasonable and det down at 1200hp boost levels but still able to turn it down for the morning commute. If a dodge demon with a boating license can break into the 9s, I feel that a pro touring 69 should have the capability to run high 8s. Hence the 4-link, greatest adjust-ability in anti-squat/dive whether hitting the track, strip, or street.
If this goal is a little extreme or overzealous, let me know, I'm always willing to learn.
alston chassis works for what you want. i think they do better multi purpose chassis.
In the middle of Power Brake swap. Need help fast!!
whats the difference between power shifting and just shifting fast?

Sister Elizabeth's porridge sat in Rachel's stomach like a brick. She hadn't slept, knowing today was her turn. The heavy feeling turned to nausea as she and Mary headed out to the perimeter. Stopping by the supply shed, Mary pressed a rifle into her hands, and said: "Remember, it's you today." As if Rachel could forget. On the path, she walked faster than usual, trying to ignore the vomit inching up her throat and the weight of the weapon on her back.
The sun broke through the leaves of the canopy above, sprinkling the forest floor with pennies of light. Mary's long legs and fortitude putting more and more trail between them. The tiny spotlights brought out the honey highlights in her hair. Rachel wanted to tell her how beautiful it was, but Mary would scowl and say such things were of this world. Mary held her skirt up, bunched in her fists as she sped toward the gate. Rachel let her skirt drag on the ground.
Mary stopped just short of the boundary and stood with her hands on her hips. "It's not bad. She doesn't even beg or shout anymore." Mary probably thought she was afraid, none of the girls understood Rachel's quiet. They thought she was shy, afraid to speak her mind. They were jealous, maybe. Silence was revered in a woman. The quiet wasn't something Rachel intended it just was, like Isaiah's pimples, or the way Mary couldn't digest lactose.
"I hear her!" Mary yanked Rachel's arm as she dashed toward the gate. Rachel lifted her feet faster, but then slid on a mossy rock, wet her bum landing in damp debris, and lost interest. There was nothing to see, only the Scientist's face on the other side of the locked gate. At first her dark skin and fuzzy hair had been interesting to look at. The way words fell out of her mouth in clipped tones had tickled Rachel's ears. It was evidence of a bigger world. Why did she want to come into the farm? There was nothing here: rocks and trees. Maybe the Scientist's desire, her insistence and her presence at their gate twice every day for months was a sign there was nothing better than here. Rachel's chest felt hollow at the thought.
The Scientist had been coming since the snow melted. Soon the air would turn cool. Rachel wondered if the Scientist would leave when the snow came again. Rachel's dull days would become mind-numbingly predictable without the Scientist. Mary elbowed her in the ribs. "Go!" Rachel swallowed hard. Mary had always done the talking. She always knew what to say. She'd read the whole Bible five times and knew more verses by heart than Rachel could count. And she wanted babies, lots of them. Mary wanted children like a woman was supposed to. She vibrated with silent excitement when the Pastor spoke of their impending marriage matches; the idea made Rachel's mouth taste sour.
The Scientist's eyebrows rose. She wrapped her brown fingers around the wire. No rings. Rachel wondered if she had children. Some part of Rachel hoped she didn't.
"Please," she said. It was just a whisper.
Rachel was paralyzed as her eyes met the older woman's; forbidden questions welling in her mouth. Mary pulled on her blouse, sighing, "They're going to be mad if we make them late." Rachel watched the Scientist over her shoulder as she shuffled the twenty yards to the gate tower.
"You're not supposed to talk to her that much," Josh said. She smiled at him. Relief spilled through her veins. She hadn't exposed her doubt. She'd held it inside. She was safe. The boys shook their heads as they left for the men's meal service. She looked out the window.
Rachel didn't respond. The way the Scientist said 'please' was stuck in her head. There was desperation there, a need Rachel understood. The Scientist wanted to see their rock, the reason this farm existed. The giant boulder was proof of Noah's flood, and the promises of the Bible. The rock meant they were special. The rock they wouldn't let anyone else see. But why would the Scientist care?
"Who do you want to be paired with?" Mary asked, her voice husky with conspiracy.
Mary's eyes narrowed, two creases appearing between her eyebrows.
"I'll do all the talking when she comes back this afternoon," Mary said before sliding into sullen silence. Two hours later they were relieved by another team of guards so they could go eat women's lunch. 'Leftover Lunch' Rachel called it, and Mary giggled when she wasn't angry.
Entering the dining hall, they parted to sit with their families. Mary had many sisters; the girls and their mother took up an entire table. Rachel and her mother sat with the widows and the childless women. "Hi Mama," Rachel said, getting to work. She tied the bib around her mother's neck, taking care not to pull her hair. Serving her mother first, she scooped a portion much larger than she would take for herself, even though her mother would not even eat half. She cut the meat into bite size squares and placed them in her mother's mouth. Rachel shoveled food into her own face while her mother slowly chewed.
It wasn't always like this. When Rachel was young, her mother would take her to the edge of the river and dip Rachel's toes in the freezing water. They would laugh at their reflections, and then collapse together on piles of pine needles at the edge of the forest, watching the black snakes sun themselves. Then her mother became tired: too tired to go outside, and much too tired to go to the river. The doctor came, said she needed sunshine and prayer. Then her joints ached, and swelled until her wrists were oranges and her knees grapefruit. They weren't praying enough. When the cough and the chest pain, the shortness of breath confined her to her bed, Rachel realized it had nothing to do with prayer. Her father had yet to come to this understanding. He still dripped embarrassed apologies as he nightly called the doctor over to do something about his screaming wife, beating on her hips and knees with her swollen fists.
Rachel was wiping her mother's chin when Widow Allen pressed a package into her hand. "For your sweet Mama." Rachel's brows came together as she looked at the rich amber squares in her palm. "It's caramel, I made. No one knows…" Her eyes widened. Sugar was treasured on the farm, treats were few and far between.
"Your secret is safe with me," Rachel replied. Widow Allen was a nice woman. Rachel appreciated her intentions, but one didn't give caramel to a woman who didn't want to chew. She slid the candies into her pocket, kissed her mother goodbye and headed back to the supply shed.
Mary was still prickly. The Scientist's arrival tugged at Rachel's every thought. The Scientist wouldn't say 'please' to Mary. Rachel stood next to her friend at the tower window, pressed her shoulder into the other girl's shoulder and held out her hand. Four beautiful caramels glowed in the gloom of the tower room. "I'm sorry," Rachel said.
Rachel shook her head and sat down on the wooden bench under the window. Mary spoke at length about weddings and how she was going to wear her mother's dress, and how yes, her mother was fat now but she hadn't been when she got married. Rachel was wondering how long it was going to take, watching Mary's face closely for a reaction. After twenty minutes she saw a pinch of concern in Mary's brow. At thirty minutes she watched her friend shift uncomfortably in her seat.
"Caramel! She makes those with milk. You know I can't…Oh, no. I have to go. You can't tell anyone I left, but if I don't go… When our relief gets here tell them I'm checking out the perimeter…" Mary was already running down the stairs then crashing through the woods.
Rachel stood at the gate waiting, her rabbit heart racing in her chest. She wasn't sure what she was going to do. Maybe she just needed to know what was out there; needed to know why the Scientist wanted in. She heard the low rumble of the jeep's engine approaching. She watched the Scientist park and walk to the gate. She smiled when a look of surprise crossed the woman's face.
"You're alone," she said, eyes bright. She had a dimple in her left cheek.
Rachel felt a twinge, a lightness in her chest. The same feeling when she answered a Bible trivia question correctly in Sister Deborah's class. When she could tell the teacher thought she wasn't paying attention and really wanted her to be wrong.
The Scientist stood wide eyed and unmoving on the other side of the gate.
Rachel grabbed the Scientist's arm and pulled her through. "This way." She ran down the path to the rock, the only sound the blood rushing in her ears and the Scientist's boots tripping over roots and slipping on pine needles. Rachel stopped at the edge of the small clearing, the hole in the dense leafy canopy allowing the sun to illuminate the boulder in the center. Dark grey with a pale vein running through, the rock was the size of a large car and sparkled when the light hit it just right. There was an unspoken rule among them to not come here, but whenever Rachel didn't want to be bothered, she found herself in the clearing. In the presence of the boulder a reverent hush hummed through her. It stilled her soul. The feeling she longed for while kneeling in chapel, but never felt. The breeze fluttered leaves in the trees surrounding, but in the clearing the air was still on Rachel's damp forehead.
"Amazing!" The Scientist said. Her continued motionlessness made Rachel painfully aware of their shortage of time.
"Remember, two hours. I have to go back to the gate in case anyone comes. Two hours." She felt ridiculous lecturing an elder about speed and timeliness. She turned to leave.
The Scientist tipped her head to the side.
Rachel watched the Scientist carefully. Perhaps the answer to Rachel's question could be found on the woman's face. But the Scientist just nodded and half smiled. Rachel couldn't help but feel like maybe the question wasn't hers alone. She waited to see if the Scientist would say something, anything. She waited to have the secrets of the universe revealed. But instead the Scientist turned to the rock. Rachel ran.
Leaves, moss and pine needles flew in her wake. Her heart pounded in her ears, every moment a century, imagining the whole time the entirety of the community waiting for her at the gate. Waiting to accuse and exile. Everyone she knew holding their breath and watching the woods for her; everyone but her mother who at this time of day would be too weak to leave her bed. So convinced of her fate, Rachel was confused when she reached the gate alone. She circled the area looking for spies, for lurkers, but found nothing but squirrels and song birds. Rachel climbed the tower stairs and crawled across the floor exhausted.
She didn't answer, but stumbled down the steps and headed home. Halfway to the cabin she realized she didn't know if the Scientist had gotten away. She should have stalled Josh and Isaiah from their patrols. She stopped in the middle of the trail. She should go check the rock. She took ten steps and stopped. But if she was found there with the Scientist it would be worse.
Rachel went home. The house felt like a cave, cool and damp. He'd let the fire go out. She stacked new logs on top and lit the match. She put on a pair of her father's pants under her skirt. She filled the pockets with a folding knife, a length of string and some dried fruit. She put a wool sweater and her boots next to the door. She tucked a handful of matches wrapped in waxed paper in the toe of her boot just in case. She didn't know what they would let her take. She climbed into bed next to her mother and lay her head on her mother's shoulder. Rachel's mother's heart sounded like a bird's through the paper wall of her chest. Her breathing was like the slurping of soup.
"I don't want to leave you, Mama." She said to the blue edged eyelids. They flickered in response. "I would be lying if I said I didn't know what I was doing. I did. But I didn't think I'd be this sad to leave." Her mother's body was cold despite the summer day and she trembled constantly. Every time Rachel dozed off a tremor shook her awake, reminding her they were coming. She needed to be ready. She dozed again only to be awakened by a tapping on her cheek. She opened her eyes to find her mother's fingers on her face.
"What is it, Mama. What do you need? The outhouse?" She got out of bed and was reaching for her boots when her mother raised her arm and pointed with gnarled, purple fingers at the trunk that contained her clothes. "Are you cold? Do you need a sweater? Socks? Another blanket?" Her mother kept pointing. Rachel went over to the trunk and opened it. She'd opened it a thousand times in her life; the family's laundry and cleaning having fallen to her since her mother's illness. "I don't know what you want, Mama." Rachel pulled her fingers through her hair and sighed.
She watched the muscles in her mother's throat stretch and bob. The labor of speaking was painful to watch. "Bottom," her mother whispered. "Picture." Rachel dug through the trunk until she found a framed photo of a young woman and a baby. Her fingers gripped the frame. It was her mother and her. She didn't know this existed. Photos were not allowed; they encouraged vanity. "Open," her mother said. Rachel pried the back open and found four one hundred dollar bills. This too wasn't allowed. Only the important men were allowed to keep money. It was a tie to the outside that needed to be broken. It was dangerous. It could draw thieves from the outside into their farm. "Take," her mother said. Tears dripped down Rachel's face as she looked into her mother's half closed eyes.
"Thank you" she whispered tucking the money and the picture into her bra and putting the frame back at the bottom of the trunk. She lay back down. "When they come, Mama. I'm going to make you proud." She closed her eyes but couldn't sleep. She couldn't leave her mother. When they came for her she would beg. She wasn't proud. She would beg for them to let her stay and care for her mother. It wouldn't be long. She'd leave quietly after. She would promise to be good. She watched the sky turn from cerulean to cobalt and from cobalt to azure, and waited.
She woke with a start when the front door opened, convinced it was the mob coming to grab her, but it was only her father home from dinner and evening chapel. She slipped out of bed and tucked her mother in tight.
"Make some tea," he said.
She put on the kettle and set out his cup. She measured the leaves into the strainer and waited for the boil. He sat in a chair by the fire. She made his tea and handed it to him. He took it and sipped. She sat on the hearth and waited. Waited for them to come. Waited to be spoken to. She wondered if anything interesting happened, like a Scientist was found on the property, if he would even tell her.
She pressed her lips firmly together. The honest answer to that question would have him hauling her by the arm to the Pastor's house for hours of instruction. At least then she wouldn't be waiting here for someone to come for her. She opened her mouth to speak.
She closed her mouth and stood. She kissed her mother on the forehead and went to her room. She closed the door and sat on her bed waiting. Every noise sent her heart racing. Raccoons on the roof nearly caused her to lose bowel control. But the sky out her window lightened, and the birds started singing, and no one came.
She thought if she made it to morning she'd be safe. She'd expected to stop sweating, for her hands to be still and her heartbeat to return to normal. She'd expected relief. Instead anger boiled in her belly. Disappointment screamed in her ear. She'd bought in to the omniscience of the pastor, the strength of the faith. She'd convinced herself they knew her sin, but a mere girl had outsmarted them. They were impotent men, sheep, and she'd let them pen her in.
Rachel tiptoed into her parent's bedroom and knelt on the floor at her mother's side. Rachel brushed her mother's bangs to the side and kissed her forehead. Her mother's big brown eyes opened. Her hand reached for Rachel's face and Rachel moved closer so her mother's arthritic fingers could cup her cheek. "Go," her mother said.
Pulling on her boots and sweater, Rachel eased out the front door and marched through the early morning toward the gate. Josh was already there, cleaning his rifle.
He looked at her, eyes wide and brows raised. They stood there as minutes passed. He blinked repeatedly. He took the key from the peg inside the tower and turned it in the lock.
"You can't come back," he said.
Rachel walked into the icy wind, her long denim skirt plastered to her legs; freezing gusts of air blew between the buildings and surprised her at every crosswalk. She stepped over the curb and into the street, narrowly avoiding flattening by a car turning right. Her eyes searched the numbers above the doors. Her fingers wrapped around the card in her pocket, so worn and folded it was barely legible, but she knew the address by heart. Finding the right number she walked toward it, the door slid open and Rachel stopped short. She stared, wide eyed and open mouthed as the warm air from inside the building tickled her nose. Heart hammering in her chest, she couldn't make her legs move. If doors could open themselves, what else might be possible?

Most graphs consist of a horizontal axis (x-axis) and a vertical axis (y-axis) to display their data. This tutorial will show you different ways you can define axes properties. All the attributes in this tutorial are found in the online workspace in the 'Axes' section, under STYLE."
You can set the range of your axes in the 'Range' sub-tab.
The axes are autoscaled, but if you want you to change the range of your axes, click 'Custom Range' under 'Selection'.
For our example, our y-axis values are over 15 so we'd like our y-axis to start at 10 (our minimum value). We'll click on 'Y' and then enter the minimum value in the 'Min' field. This can be done if we have a maximum value, by entering it in the 'Max' field.
Reversing the axis is so easy; just flip the 'Min' and 'Max' values. The animated image below shows that when we switch the 'Min' and 'Max' values, the axis is reversed.
You can also set the axis type as linear or log. In the 'Range' sub-tab, select the desired axis, then click 'Linear' or 'Log' under 'Axis Type'.
Customizing the style and number of tick labels along the axes can help highlight particular aspects of your data.
The tick labels reflect column values that were selected in your trace(s).
You have the option of showing these labels or hiding them. Go to 'Axes', then 'Tick Labels' and depending on the axis you want to change, select X, Y, or 'ALL'. The default is 'SHOW' but click 'Hide' if you don't wish to display them.
When the tick labels are set to 'Show', you can change their typeface, font size and font color. Note that certain colors and typefaces are only available with a PRO subscription. Click here to upgrade!
The ticks can be angled at 45°, 90°, 135°, or 180°. You can also add exponents, but it'll only work if your axes consist of numerical data.
You can add a prefix or suffix to your tick labels. If yours isn't listed, click on 'Custom' and type it in the field.
For our example, our y-axis consists of data in Celcius, and our x-axis is in minutes. 'Minutes' isn't listed, so we'll select 'Custom' and type it in.
Once you've selected or entered a prefix or suffix, click the icon next to 'Label Positioning'.
A modal will open with a few selections. You can place the prefix or suffix for the first or last tick label, all ticks, or none.
To set the number of ticks, go to 'Axes', and select the number from either 'Tick Labels' or 'Tick Markers'. The markers are hidden under 'Tick Markers' by default, so click 'Inside or 'Outside' to view the options. You can set them as 'Linear' or 'Custom' in the same section.
The plot below had the dates on the x-axis set as biannual. We'd like to show every consecutive year, so we select 'Custom' and enter the desired number of markers in the field.
When you work with date or time series plots, you have to convert the date for the step size and set offset. Let's say you set ticks on the 15th of every third month, set the 'Step Size' to '2000-01-15' and 'Step Offset' to 'M3'. To set ticks every 4 years, set it to 'M48'. Our plot display our data every year, so it's been set to 'M12'. For more information, visit this page.
Your axis width can be adjusted by going to 'Axes', then Layout'. Use the arrows to adjust the start and end position, or type the percentage in the empty field.
The axis can also be repositioned and anchored. The x-axis can stay at the bottom or be moved to the top, and the y-axis can be moved to the left or right. If left 'Unanchored', they can be positioned vertically or horizontally by adjusting the percentage.


Stay in your vehicle: Once you pull over, stay in your vehicle and wait for the officer to arrive at your window. Also, keep your hands on the wheel and put your window down when the officer requests you to do so.
Remain polite: Forget about how the officer is treating you. It's important to remain polite at all times, even if you feel that you're being mistreated in some way.
You don't have to answer questions: You want to follow directions and remain respectful, but you don't want to say anything that could incriminate you. If you're not comfortable answering a particular question, ask for clarification or simply tell the officer that you don't want to speak.
Don't say too much: It's easy to fall into the trap of candidly telling the officer what you're up to. For example, you may say something like "I only had one drink a couple hours ago." This doesn't typically help, as the officer has heard every excuse and reason in the book. You're better off complying with basic questions, while avoiding sharing any unnecessary information.
Remain calm if you're put under arrest: It's not always easy to do, but fighting back will only make things worse. This can result in additional criminal charges, such as resisting arrest. At this point, the best thing you can do is remain calm, follow directions and keep quiet.
It's scary to find yourself pulled over for any reason. This is particularly true if the officer suspects that you're driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
If you're arrested, don't hesitate to learn more about your legal rights. The sooner you do this the sooner you can decide on a defense strategy that will help you avoid a conviction and the punishment typically associated with it.

Officials stop six people trying to 'smuggle' dogs into Westminster Hall to see Queen
By: usatodaypost
Officials have stopped six people attempting to sneak their pet dogs into Westminster Hall to see the Queen lying in state – according to reports. Jason Groves, political editor at the Daily Mail, wrote on Twitter: "Parliamentary source says officials have stopped six people trying to smuggle their pet dogs into Westminster Hall under their coats for the Queen's lying in state." Queues to see Her Majesty appear to be growing quickly, with routes now stretching to 4.9 miles long according to the government's live tracker.
People are being warned to "dress appropriately" as people could be queuing for more than a day.
The Queen is now lying in state at Westminster Hall after being taken from Buckingham Palace yesterday as part of a procession.
Shop assistant Angela Johnson, 42, of Ealing, west London, was determined to make it to Westminster Hall to pay her respects to the Queen.
She said: "It has been 70 years and she came to the throne at such a young age. It has been a real achievement. We should be proud of our Queen. She has done well for our country and she has never let the country down. She pretty much had to give up her whole life to the country to become Queen – it couldn't have been easy for her."
Animals and pets are not allowed in to the vigil, but according to reports some people have been attempting to sneak their beloved pooches in under their coats.
Queues to meet the Queen are expected to be hours long for the next few days before the late monarch's state funeral on Monday.
Ambulance teams were said to have already treated 291 members of the public along the route of the queue and in surrounding areas on Wednesday.
An LAS spokeswoman said: "Working with our partners, we cared for 291 patients yesterday up until midnight along the lying-in-state queuing route and surrounding areas, including Hyde Park, Whitehall and Millbank."

The government website advises: "Please do not bring pets or other animals as you will not be allowed to enter with them. Animals are not permitted in the Palace of Westminster, except guide dogs, hearing dogs and other official assistance dogs."
There are also a number of other prohibited items, including bags larger than 40cm x 30cm x 20cm in size and food and liquid.
Brits are being told to leave flowers and tribute items in the dedicated floral tribute area in Green Park as these items can not be taken into the Palace of Westminster.
Seating equipment is also prohibited, despite a large number of queuers bringing camping chairs to help aid with the long waits.

Pesach Neussbaum, a retired computer company owner, from Montreal, Canada, described seeing the Queen's coffin as a "very special and extraordinary" experience.
Tourist Mr Neussbaum, who arrived in the UK on Wednesday, had just finished a walking tour in central London when he managed to join the queue in Blackfriars, south London, on Thursday afternoon.
He told PA: "I was thinking that even if I did not get there to Westminster, and it turned out to be too far for me to walk, that I was still paying my last respects to the Queen. I just continued for five-and-a-half hours and to see it through makes me feel fulfilled.
"My wife Shari – who is back in Canada – is the biggest fan of Queen Elizabeth. I figured that if my wife were here, she would want me to continue. The Queen is an inspiration not just to myself but the entire world."

North Texas Jury Awards More Than $242M For Lexus Seat Defect
Filed Under:Dallas County, defective seats, Jury, jury award, lawsuit, lexus, Local TV, Toyota
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — A North Texas jury has awarded more than $242 million to a Dallas-area family who sued Toyota over what they said were defective front seats in their Lexus sedan.
Benjamin and Kristi Reavis alleged defects caused their front seat backs in a September 2016 rear-end collision to collapse on their two young children seated in child safety seats in the back.
Their attorney said the 5-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son suffered severe head trauma and other injuries.
The Reavises' attorney, Frank Branson, said Toyota consciously chose to protect front-seat occupants from crash injuries such as whiplash at the expense of rear-seat passengers.
The Dallas County jury determined Friday that the seats were unreasonably dangerous and Toyota failed to warn of those dangers.
Toyota, which has its North American headquarters in Plano, Texas, didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

Q: NSURLConnection response returns nil I'm using the following code to get a JSON response but the response returned is nil even though the data length printed is 256
NSString *bodyString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"{\"method\":\"cargo_shipped\",\"data\":{\"username\":\"%@\",\"shipment_no\":\"70088000071790\"}}",username];

NSLog(@"url %@",request);
NSData *postData = [bodyString dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%lu", (unsigned long)[postData length]];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];

 {
     NSLog(@"ENTERED url loop");

     if ([data length] > 0 && connectionError == nil)
     {
         NSLog(@"entered if loop");
         [self receivedCargoShippedData:data];
         NSString* cargoShippedResponse = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

         NSData *jsonDatas = [cargoShippedResponse dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

         NSDictionary *jsonDics = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonDatas options:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments error:nil];
         NSLog(@"Request %@",bodyString);
         NSLog(@"Response %@",jsonDics);
        NSLog(@"result: %lu ",  (unsigned long)[data length]);

     }

     else if ([data length] == 0 && connectionError == nil)
     {
         [self emptyReply];
         NSLog(@"empty %@",connectionError);
     }
     else if (connectionError != nil && connectionError.code == NSURLErrorTimedOut)
     {
         [self timedOut];
         NSLog(@"empty %@",connectionError);
     }

     else if (connectionError != nil)
     {
         [self downloadError:connectionError];
         NSLog(@"empty %@",connectionError);
     } else {
         NSLog(@"%@",@"wtf");
     }
 }];
NSLog(@"finished");

}
The code enters the if loop and even the length of the response is 256. But still, when I try to get the response, its nil.

A: I solved it by myself:
if ([data length] > 0 && connectionError == nil)
{
    NSLog(@"entered if loop");
    [self receivedCargoShippedData:data];
    NSString* forgotPasswordResponse = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

    NSLog(@"Request %@",bodyString);
    NSLog(@"Response %@",forgotPasswordResponse);
}

It seems Apple filed documents with the United States FCC (Federal Communications Commission) showing an iPhone X in the color gold. Talk has it that this document was filed last year in September showing different images and angles of the iPhone X in the color gold.
Before the iPhone X launched, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that Apple might produce the iPhone X in three possible colors, gold, silver and space gray. It seems production issues caused the gold color not to be released with the other two colors. Kuo also suggested that at a later date Apple might launch the gold version once the issues were resolved. It should be noted that Ming-Chi Kuo has a track record of being 90% accurate on his predictions.
Another rumor which co-inside with what Kuo stated regarding the iPhone X launching in the color gold at a later date, states that Apple might introduce the new color to help boost mid-year sales with the iPhone X. The device could debut at the upcoming WWDC in June. Let's stay tuned for more development as it surfaces regarding the gold iPhone X.

Biografia
Entrato in servizio nell'artiglieria nel 1810 a Nysa, si distingue nell'assedio di Głogów, dove ottiene una Croce di Ferro. Viene promosso nel 1819 a primo tenente (Premierlieutenant) dell'Artiglieria della Guardia (Gardeartillerie).

Tra il 1816 e il 1819 riprende il mano il lavoro sul wargame iniziato dal padre Georg Leopold von Reiswitz apportando diverse innovazioni, tra cui l'uso delle carte topografiche per rappresentare il terreno, l'introduzione di un arbitro per gestire la partita e l'uso di dadi per determinare i risultati degli scontri, modellando i loro risultati sui dati pubblicati dal generale Gerhard von Scharnhorst in Über die Wirkung des Feuergewehrs ("Sull'effetto delle armi da fuoco", 1813) sugli effetti delle armi da fuoco per modellare i risultati degli scontri.

Il gioco interessa il principe Guglielmo, futuro imperatore Guglielmo I di Germania, e su sua richiesta Reiswitz dimostra il gioco al castello di Berlino all'inizio del 1824, alla presenza dei vertici dell'esercito prussiano. Nonostante un iniziale scetticismo il capo dello stato maggiore prussiano Karl von Müffling rimase impressionato dal gioco affermando: «Non è un gioco normale, è una scuola di guerra. È mio dovere raccomandarlo caldamente all'esercito» Nel 1824 pubblica il regolamento Anleitung zur Darstellung militärische manöver mit dem apparat des Kriegsspiele.

Per la sua invenzione riceve dal re l'onorificenza dell'Ordine di San Giovanni dal re Federico III e dimostra il suo regolamento anche a Mosca al granduca Nicola (futuro zar Nicola I di Russia). Tra gli ufficiali che adottano il suo gioco ci sono tra gli altri anche il futuro capo di stato maggiore Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke, all'epoca ufficiale del corpo topografico.

Oltre a ottenere consensi, Reiswitz si fece anche dei nemici tra gli alti ufficiali dell'esercito, e nel 1826 pur venendo promosso a capitano viene anche trasferito da Berlino a Torgau. Ritenendo di essere stato bandito entra in uno stato di depressione e il 1º settembre 1827, durante una licenza a Breslavia, si suicida sparandosi.

A: After reproducing the problem locally: docker build . build the image successfully, but when trying to start the image using docker-compose up I got the following error exec: gunicorn: not found as the OP mentioned above. Based on this thread I could solve the problem running docker-compose build. So to sum up the 3 following commands should solve the problem:

*

*docker build .

*docker-compose build

*docker-compose up
Despite this solves the problem for me I'm still confused here, why do I need to run build twice. I mean it should be something wrong somewhere, because as I far as I have understood, docker-compose build  should do the same work as docker build ..

Portland Trail Blazers (também referido como "Blazers") é um time de basquete da National Basketball Association localizado na cidade de Portland, Oregon. O time foi fundado em 1970 e as cores do uniforme são vermelho, branco, prata e preto. A dona do time é Jody Patton, e o seu ginásio é o Moda Center. Os Blazers foram campeões da NBA em 1977. É o único time de Oregon nas ligas esportivas norte-americanas.

História
A NBA deu uma franquia para Portland em 1970. Em um concurso para nomear o time, a opção mais votada foi Pioneers, rejeitada por já ser usada pelo time da universidade Lewis & Clark College. A direção optou por Trail Blazers (marcadores de trilha). Um primo do vice-presidente do time, Harry Glickman, desenhou a logomarca que tem uma representação estilizada de um jogo de basquete com dez traços brancos e vermelhos fazendo um "cata-vento". Jogando no Memorial Coliseum e sob o comando de Geoff Petrie e Sidney Wicks, ambos eleitos novatos do ano (em 1971 e 1972), o time não conseguiu se classificar para os playoffs por seis anos, mudando de técnico três vezes. No meio-tempo conseguiram duas vezes a primeira escolha no Draft, convocando LaRue Martin em 1973 e Bill Walton em 1974.

A sorte mudou em 1976, ao contratar o técnico Jack Ramsey, e conseguir Maurice Lucas depois do time deste ser dissolvido com a integração da American Basketball Association pela NBA. O Blazers não só se classificou para a segunda fase como chegou ao título, com Walton sendo eleito melhor jogador das finais. Em abril, o time começou uma sequência de 814 jogos esgotados que só se encerraria com uma mudança de arena em 1995. A temporada seguinte parecia promissora, com o Blazers terminando em primeiro da Conferência Oeste e  Walton sendo eleito melhor jogador da temporada, mas uma lesão de Walton levou a uma eliminação na primeira rodada pelo rival Seattle SuperSonics. Walton não jogou a temporada seguinte se recuperando e protestando contra o Blazers não ter o trocado, e em 1979 foi para o Buffalo Braves, enquanto Lucas saiu do time em 1980.

Fora a temporada 1981-82, quando não se classificaram, os Blazers ficaram quatro temporadas consecutivas caindo na primeira rodada dos playoffs. Em 1983 começaram uma sequência de  21 anos consecutivos classificando-se  para os playoffs, caindo nas semifinais do Oeste pro Los Angeles Lakers, e contrataram no draft Clyde Drexler, que se tornaria uma das maiores estrelas da liga e o maior pontuador da história do Blazers. Em 1984 os Blazers tiveram o que foi considerada a decisão mais mal-sucedida da história do draft, pegando Sam Bowie com a segunda escolha do draft (a primeira foi Hakeem Olajuwon, pelo Houston Rockets) em vez de Michael Jordan, que se tornaria hexacampeão com o Chicago Bulls e é considerado o melhor jogador de basquete da história. Em 1988 o time foi comprado pelo bilionário Paul Allen, co-fundador da Microsoft.

Entre 1990 e 1992, com Drexler, o técnico Rick Adelman e o recém-contrato Buck Williams, o Blazers chegou a duas finais da NBA (perdendo em 1990 para o Detroit Pistons e 1992 para o Chicago Bulls) e uma final do Oeste. Em 1994, o novo presidente Bob Whitsitt decidiu reconstruir o time, incluindo mandar o envelhecido Drexler para o Rockets. No ano seguinte os Blazers se mudaram para o recém-inaugurado Rose Garden. Uma nova era dos Blazers começou com a contratação do técnico Mike Dunleavy, e montar um time a partir de jovens talentosos e temperamentais como Brian Grant, Damon Stoudamire e Rasheed Wallace, que levaram o Blazers a finais do Oeste em 1999 - quando Dunleavy foi eleito técnico do ano - e 2000.

Problemas começaram a afetar os Blazers em 2001, quando decisões malfeitas de elenco levaram a derrotas consecutivas e uma eliminação precoce nos playoffs, e diversas prisões dos jogadores levaram ao apelido "Jail Blazers", A má reputação afetou as vendas de ingressos, mesmo que o time continuasse competitivo, e Whitsitt saiu do time em 2003 para outra propriedade de Allen, o Seattle Seahawks.

Cinco anos sem ir aos playoffs seguiriam, com o destaque positivo sendo a contratação no draft de 2006 de Brandon Roy, eleito novato do ano. A primeira escolha no draft seguinte, Greg Oden, não deu tão certo, já perdendo sua primeira temporada por uma cirurgia no joelho e se machucando com frequência - enquanto a segunda escolha, Kevin Durant, seria eleito novato do ano pelo Sonics e após a franquia se mudar de cidade se tornaria estrela do Oklahoma City Thunder. Apesar disso, Roy, Oden, LaMarcus Aldridge e o espanhol Rudy Fernández lideraram o time de volta para os playoffs em 2009, e o Blazers classificou-se em mais duas temporadas. Roy acabou se aposentando do basquete em 2011 por problemas no joelho, e em seguida o lesionado Oden foi dispensado. Com apenas Aldridge de destaque os Blazers ficaram para trás na temporada 2011-12 com apenas a 11a posição no oeste. Na temporada seguinte o ingressante Damian Lillard teve boas atuações e foi eleito novato do ano, mas os Blazers repetiram sua performance como 11o.

O Time chegou aos Playoffs de 2014,contra o Houston Rockets, Lillard meteu uma bola de três para ganhar o jogo. Sendo considerada um dos maiores Game Winners da historia da NBA.

Em 2015 LaMarcus saiu do time, com Lillard e CJ o time teve boas atuações e já figura um dos melhores 5 times do oeste e possivelmente da NBA, em 2016 Damian Lillard é um grande candidato a MVP. Sem falar com a surpresa de CJ McCollum sendo nomeado o MIP da temporada 2015-2016 da NBA.
