Q: Transferring Docker run script to compose file - postgres doesn't run? I was previously running the Docker container for my web application below:
echo Starting postgres container...
docker run -d -p 5432:5432 --name db my_db
echo Postgres container started

echo Starting memcached container...
docker run -d -p 11211:11211 --name mem memcached
echo Memcached container started

echo Starting web container...
docker run -d -p 8000:8080 --name web --link db:postgres --link      mem:memcache my_web_app
echo Web container started

echo Waiting for tomcat to initialize...
sleep 5

echo curling logon.jsf
curl http://111.111.11.111:8000/app/logon.jsf #Real URL redacted
echo Application started

Which became the below docker-compose script:
version: '2'
services:
  web:
    image: tomcat:7.0.69-jre8
    build: ./ci
    ports:
      - "8000:8080"
    depends_on:
      - db
      - mem
  db:
    image: postgres:9.4.7
    build: ./db
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: admin
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: admin
  mem:
    image: memcached
    ports:
      - "11211:11211"

When I launch the container, it seems like postgres is no longer running (Connection refused, netstat -al | grep postgres doesn't show it), and thus, the app doesn't work. I reviewed the change I have made, and realized that the docker-compose.yml has no analog for the tomcat sleep and curl command I had given in the run script - should it? I couldn't find any information online regarding a proper analog. Is something else potentially afoot here? Please advise if any further details are required.
EDIT: docker ps yields:

We can see that the memcached container is up and running, however postgres is absent. The only thing running on the localhost interface is bound to 8005, and it isn't postgres. I should add finally that I am able to telnet memcached on its port from the web container and confirm its operation, however I can't do the same with postgres, and I'm not sure why.

A: There are a number of things that can probably be removed from your
docker-compose.yml file, assuming that the database and memcached
services are dedicated to your web application (that is, they don't
need to be accessed from anywhere else).
It doesn't make sense to specify both image and build in a service
definition, so I've made a few assumptions about what you actually
want.
I would start with something like this:
version: '2'
services:
  web:
    build: ./ci
    ports:
      - '8000:8080'
    depends_on:
      - db
      - mem
  db:
    image: postgres
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: admin
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: admin
  mem:
    image: memcached

You don't need ports directives for either the db or mem
services, because you don't need to expose these services to your host
(or elsewhere).  A docker container can access services on another
container on the same network without any special directives.
Within the web container, you can access either the db or mem
container by name, because this is how newer versions of Docker
operate when using a non-default network: Docker creates an internal
DNS service and registers the container names there.  So, for example,
from inside the web container I can use the psql command line
postgresql client to connect to the database server like this:
$ docker exec -it myservice_web_1 sh
web_1# psql -h db -U admin
Password for user admin:
psql (9.4.6, server 9.5.1)
WARNING: psql major version 9.4, server major version 9.5.
         Some psql features might not work.

admin=#

You would configure your web application to access the database server
at host db, port 5432.
With this environment up and running, you could connect to your web service from your host at http://localhost:8000, or from either your host or another host on the network at http://<your_hostname_or_ip_here>:8000.

Games of 2017: Biggest Disappointments (that isn't Battlefront II)
Written by The GN Staff on 12/21/2017 for PC PS4 SWI XBO
More On: Gaming Nexus Originals
With 2018 just around the corner the Gaming Nexus Staff is taking some time to reflect on the games they played in the last year.
Every year there are games that fail to meet our expectations. Either they are buggy messes or the game fails to deliver on what the developer promised was going to be there. Today we are going to take a look at our biggest gaming disappointments of 2017 that wasn't Battlefront II (it's just too easy if we didn't pull it from selection). Here's our list.
Russell Archey
WWE 2K18 (Switch) - I'm going to cheat a little bit on this one as my biggest disappointment is a game that I haven't played yet...well, technically I have, but on a different system. When a launch date was finally announced for WWE 2K18 on the Nintendo Switch I immediately went and pre-ordered it at Best Buy. Then launch day game and I got an email from Best Buy that said the launch was being moved back to December 12th. Strange, but since I work at Best Buy I wondered if it was because the date was announced so close to the release that we just hadn't gotten them in yet. Anyway, this turned out to be a blessing because I decided to watch someone stream it on YouTube and the game had quite a few issues with it, namely the frame rate is kind of bad, and it wasn't just the quality of the stream on YouTube. The streamer was playing a match between Naomi and Asuka and I just happened to jump on as Naomi was doing her entrance. Needless to say it was as if she was going about 2/3 of her normal speed. Then you get to the match itself and you can see the frame rate slowdown quite a bit to where it was still playable, but not nearly what it should be. A couple of reviews I've read said this was the case for both the physical and digital versions of the game and that the developers are working on a patch to correct some launch day issues, but there's nothing saying when it'll be out or what exactly it'll fix. If the patch does come out sometime soon to fix the frame rate issues, I'll likely pick it up but until then, I'm pretty disappointed that the first WWE game on a Nintendo system in several years ended up like this.
Chapel Collins
PUBG - My biggest disappointment this year was Player Unknown's Battlegrounds. The concept was so romanticized to me in the leadup to my actual purchasing of the game that I think the disappointment of discovering it's a bad game was even worse than usual. And what an awesome concept it is. I was expecting a pulse-pounding, high octane battle across a huge field, interspersed with moments of anxiety as you sneak through ghost towns to find more ammo. What I got was long stretches of time where nothing happens broken up by either just outright dying from a surprise attack, pitched battles that aren't fun because of lag issues and poor gunplay, or death by blue circle. The whole game is just constant build up to nothing, and I am super disappointed by it. It's less that it's a bad game and more that it's just really not what I was lead to expect, and it's not something for me.
Sean Colleli
Strafe - I'd have to say Strafe is my biggest disappointment of 2017. It's not a terrible game by any stretch but it billed itself as something that it really isn't. The high-production-value trailers evoked a sense of 90s nostalgia and overt references to Quake, so I was expecting a tightly-engineered shooter throwback. The end result certainly looks like Quake but in terms of gameplay Strafe is more of a frustrating rogue-lite experience with some serious balance issues. I really tried to love Strafe but the tedious, repetitive dungeon crawling, unforgiving difficulty and seemingly random weapons and powerups show that its polygonal, unfiltered graphics are nothing but a retro facade.
Kinsey Danzis
Mass Effect: Andromeda - It pains me, but I have to go with Mass Effect: Andromeda - not because it in and of itself was a terrible game (not that it was GREAT, either), but because of what it could have been. It was very much a game of this era in that BioWare (ahem, EA) caught the open world bug, but didn't quite know what to do with it.The original trilogy set the bar high, and I mean high. Even with its rather messy ending, Mass Effect was a classic story that simultaneously brought a thousand new things to the table. You had rich characters, cool settings, a loveable main character, and a game that you could just tell had heart in every inch of it. After EA got its hands dirty here, we were given a game that ended up playing like a corporate machine spit it out.
"But Kinsey," you cry, "you rated it so highly in your review! This doesn't follow!" Well, yes, but the primary reason for that was because many of the game's flaws were out of BioWare's control (and you might notice by now that I absolutely hate huge corporations that are only there to turn a profit, hence why I'm so bitter about EA's business here). To name one, they forced BioWare developers to use an engine that wasn't right for the game (one of the most basic flaws that paved the way for a thousand others). I speak from a place of nostalgia and not-wanting-to-spit-on-BioWare's-work; I thought the graphics were beautiful, the environments were stunning, and the story had a lot of unexplored potential. But I also acknowledge that EA did not give BioWare the chance to work on it as a well-loved, inspired game, making the quests overcrowded, the enemies lame in comparison to the Reapers, and the morality questionable (let's go back to the Manifest Destiny conversation, here). Basically, it's an attempt at a high-graphics, open-world game that got half its profit from hype. I can't fault BioWare and feel good about it, not when they were blocked at every turn. I guess you could say my biggest disappointment of 2017 was EA, actually.
Dave Gamble
The Golf Club 2/The Golf Club VR - My biggest disappointment, by far, was a twofer: The Golf Club 2, and The Golf Club VR. I have been a HUGE fan of The Golf Club since early open beta and was looking forward to the new and improved The Golf Club 2, but rather than add depth of play with new ways of playing (it desperately needs a "Skins" game), they added hokey stuff like clubhouses. Rather than fix multiplayer to be synchronous, they dorked around with the physics and swing mechanics, rendering it nearly unplayable for veterans of the first version. The VR experience was even worse. Perhaps due to Rift support being slapped in when people complained about the original Vive-only release, The Golf Club VR is next to impossible to get configured. I'm here to tell you, playing golf with a two foot long club is an exercise in futility. It's saddening to compare the incredible playing experience of the original Golf Club to these new "improved" versions. What a missed opportunity!
Eric Hauter
Mafia III - Mafia III really made me sad. I loved the atmosphere of the game, the storytelling, the fantastic music, the setting, pretty much everything. But playing this thing was like wrestling an anaconda. Any open world game where I get stuck going through a doorway will quickly get the axe, no matter how good the tunes are.
Charles Husemann
MechWarrior Online - My biggest disappointment of the year was MechWarrior Online (MWO). MWO was a game that I have been playing since beta and have invested a lot of time and money in. Over the summer the team at Pirahna games decided to change the mech skill system which is great in theory. Sure you get more control over what each mech can do but with each mech having over 100 different points that can be updated and with me owning over 50 mechs there wasn't any way I was going to have enough time to spend to research the best options for each mech and then laboriously update each one.
Randy Kalista
Mass Effect: Andromeda - I was rapt by developer Bioware Montreal's ups and downs this year. Well, sadly, it was all downs. After a 10-year run as one of the most celebrated RPG series of all time, Mass Effect: Andromeda launched to a low 70s Metacritic. You don't want to know what the user scores were. Andromeda had poor enough facial animations to trigger a Gamergate witch hunt for the lead animator. The line "My face is tired," spoken by an Andromeda NPC, became an internet meme and, subsequently, Andromeda's unofficial subtitle. The combat was dynamic, but seemingly everything else had suffered for it. Besides, Mass Effect didn't become the sci-fi phenomenon it became because of combat. The following months put out a few paltry patches fixing things like eyeball shaders rather than legitimately glitchy gameplay. Kotaku published a scathing account of Andromeda's troubled five-year development. A novel was announced that's somehow supposed to explain why several alien races never made it into the final game. Aaryn Flynn, General Manager of Bioware, left. Casey Hudson, former General Manager of Bioware, returned. Immediately afterward, Bioware Montreal, developer of Andromeda, was absorbed into EA Motive's studio. As it stands, there are no further plans for Mass Effect video games. This is the way Mass Effect ends. Not with a bang.
No Man's Sky: Atlas Rises - Is No Man's Sky really only one year old? It seems impossible. I don't have to rehash what a year it's been for developer Hello Games. But I'm disappointed that this latest update, Atlas Rises, released only in August, as enormous as it is, with as much polish it layers on, as much originally promised content it fulfills—still isn't enough to make me play very much of the Last Game I Ever Had to Buy. I'd returned for the Foundation Update, building a base of operations. I'd returned for the Path Finder Update, rolling around in my planetary vehicle. And then I'd returned for the Atlas Rises Update and its overhauled storyline, procedural mission system, and joint exploration. There's so much more. But none of it is enough. I gave No Man's Sky everything I had when it launched last year. While the updates kept me coming back, nothing could seemingly make me stay. Yet every once in awhile, I think back fondly on whatever I thought that game was going to be. I applaud No Man's Sky's tenacity. I really do. I hope I want to fly its skies again some day.
Rob Larkin
Destiny 2 - My biggest disappointment of 2017 was surely Destiny 2. Not that I think it's a bad game. I gave it an 8.8 in my review and two months later I don't think I would subtract much from that if at all. It has an excellent single player mode, certainly better than any FPS I've played in years. The visuals are top notch and the music and soundtrack were the best of any game I've played this year. It has phenomenal gameplay and gunplay that stretches encounters vertically as well as horizontally and introduces moments of pure awesome with supers. It's just that it was such a far cry from what made Destiny 1 great. I really feel like Bungie has abandoned their player base to try and reach out to a casual player mass and are only offering a casual playing experience.
The cherry on top was definitely the mea culpa from a few weeks back where Bungie tried to admit their mistakes and provide the roadmap that would introduce changes that would eventually correct the course. Unfortunately that mea culpa only further illustrated just how out of touch the developer is as their proposed changes really do nothing to address the core issues with this game, namely that PvP is in its most broken state in Destiny history largely due to a strive for "balance" that has neutered all weapons useless and that there is no real end game to keep players involved once the story is concluded. It's bizarre really how Bungie abandoned so much of what made Destiny 1 great. A number of people have pointed out on Reddit and elsewhere, that Destiny 2 is such a step back that when you look at the feature list, Destiny 1 seems like it should be the sequel to Destiny 2.

Call of Duty: WWII - I hadn't touched the series since Modern Warfare III, and to be honest I've forgotten how long ago that was. I was expecting a well-written campaign, explosive violence, and an old school zombies mode. Suffice to say, the result was pitiful. I don't see myself going back there except for the multiplayer, and even then only if I get bored enough with Battlefield 1, the shooter that actually contributed something new to the genre.
And I don't want to be a sore loser, but my other disappointment has to be the Crash Bandicoot collection. I understand that it was supposed to be a refreshing blast from the past, but it was fun only at times. For the most part, it always felt like the game was working against me. As Reggie Fils Aime once said: "If it's not fun, why bother?"
Matt Mirkovich
NieR: Automata (PC Version) - Well this is going to seem contradictory. But for me, the biggest disappointment was the PC release of NieR: Automata. The biggest reason for this? The game has to be run through a fan patch to get the resolution to display properly, and fix the performance issues caused by the game's anti-aliasing. Square Enix, and to a lesser degree, Platinum Games, fix your damn game. I've already gotten E route cleared on the PS4 two times, and I'm wanting to get a third done on PC. It's utterly ridiculous that a game released in March hasn't received so much as an acknowledgement that there are problems with this port. Oh, and I'll dogpile on Mass Effect: Andromeda as well, what a letdown.
Mass Effect: Andromeda - My biggest disappointment wasn't only the biggest one of 2017, it was the biggest in my 36 years of gaming. To say Mass Effect is my favorite gaming trilogy of all time is a HUGE understatement. I have logged over 400 hours of play over the past bunch of years and that may even be a bit modest. You see, Shepard's story of overcoming evil, romancing some of the sweetest female companions you could have (yes, even Jack), and eventually giving his life for the human race (unless you believe the 3rd game's BS "maybe he lived" stuff), IS one of the best comprehensive stories in gaming history. Mix that with excellent gunplay (even ME1 was good for it's time), fantastic characters and stars voicing them (Keith David, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Seth Green, Carrie-Ann Moss, and Martin Sheen), and other-worldly music and you get the best of the best.
Fast forward to 2017 and Mass Effect : Andromeda. A game that die-hard fans like myself had to wait through 5 years of delays and re-announcements. A game that was as bad of a sequel as Rocky V was. Start with an underwhelming little wuss of a hero and add characters as uninteresting as a fossilized turd. Bring in only TWO major races after traveling 600 years worth of distance AND make both of them flat and uninteresting. Plug in a weapon creation section as difficult to figure out as instructions written in a foreign language. Make the bad-guy 10% as evil as the Reapers were and as threatening as a bad case of the flu. Wind that together with annoying glitches, underwhelming weapon creation, poor romance stories, and the worst directions of any FPS story made and you have a game that is not only worth a "mediocre" rating, but is THE worst disappointment of 2017 (or any other year).

Mass Effect: Andromeda - Of the two games that pop into my mind for this, I think Mass Effect Andromeda takes the prize. The game's been hyped for a while, but now we know all the problems that came with the development process. There was never a chance this game would succeed and it's really sad as this could have been a launching pad for a brand new Mass Effect trilogy. A lot of fans out there were clamoring for more games in this universe, but not like this. Not like this. I hope there's a way that the series can be salvaged because Andromeda has done a lot of damage to a well beloved series

My naïve self never knew there were other hydrating forms of H2O other than what came from my kitchen sink until my first trip abroad, where I learned quickly to say "tap," because that was free, and free is important when you're 18, broke, and traveling around Europe for the first time.
But now, as I stand in my grocery store aisle picking up mixers for my drinks, I'm overwhelmed by the choices. Club soda. Seltzer. Sparkling Italian Soda. Tonic. La Croix. If it weren't absolutely necessary in two of my favorite basic drinks and essential to building a basic bar pantry, I'd be running in the opposite direction, towards the tap.
So, here's a little break down to the bubbly water aisle: what they actually mean, and when to use them in your bar application. As to taste tests, I'll leave you to the opinions of these guys.
Only water that comes from a spring naturally rich (at least 250 parts per million) in minerals can be classified as mineral water. When a spring has naturally trapped gases that make the water effervescent, then you've hit on a natural sparkling mineral water spring. Every spring has a different mineral composition, with plenty of people having distinct preferences. No added carbonation is allowed, but some companies, like Perrier, capture their mineral water and carbonated gases separate, and mix them during bottling to ensure consistency.
Sparkling water is best on its own instead of in a cocktail unless you happen to know what vodka can be highlighted by that particular level of magnesium. Or you are too lazy to go out and get any of the following below. You do you, bud.
For centuries, the wealthy flocked to the small towns with these magical bubbling water sources to "take in the waters" as a medicinal cure for all their ailments. Of course, enterprising towns would then bottle and sell their water as well. One particular source of mineral water was from Selters, Germany (which also happened to be naturally sparkling). When the technology became available for companies to manufacture their own carbonated waters, they added minerals to it and called it "seltzer" water, just like the water from Selters.
In its modern form as we know it, generic seltzer water contains no minerals, and is just carbonated water. It's also colloquially known as "soda water." If you're looking for a bubbly addition to your cocktail, but not the taste, seltzer is the mixer for you. Any recipes that call for soda, like your basic "vodka soda" will be using seltzer as well.
Club soda, on the other hand does have added minerals to mimic the taste of sparkling mineral water. When in doubt, check the nutrition labels! There should be a sodium count on the label, since the minerals tend to be in the sodium family, like potassium. Taste varies between brands. Use club soda to make our Rosemary Gin Fizz.
Also, contrary to popular belief, this isn't going to help get your wine stain out any better than water and soap.
Out of everything on this list, tonic water stands unique. There is no replacement for tonic water. Tonic water is specifically flavored with quinine, a bitter antimalarial medicine derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. Originally, the bitterness of quinine powder led British colonialist to mix in soda water and sugar to mask the taste, and ended up creating the first recipes for tonic water. Naturally (read, because Brits), gin was added to the mix, and now we have our ubiquitous gin and tonics. Beware though, because there is sugar added to the tonic water, there are in fact calories. In addition, the flavors vary from brand to brand, so this is one taste test you might want to do! Personally, if I'm drinking a G & T, I'm going to want to match it to the particular type of gin.
Since I mentioned it, and am flummoxed by it still, here's the deal with La Croix: it's billed as "naturally flavored sparkling water," which means it is a carbonated drink, like seltzer/soda water, that's flavored. As far was what they mean by naturally flavored, I'll leave you here. Also, here.

2017 NCAA Women's Regional Finals Wrap
The NCAA women's Final Four, beginning tonight, will feature No. 1-seeded Penn State vs. No. 5 Nebraska, and No. 2 Florida vs. No. 3 Stanford. The bracket has thus stuck pretty closely to the chalk, although we easily could have had No. 10-seed USC instead of Florida, the Trojans having held a match-point over the Gators in Game 4 of the teams' five-game contest. Florida's match-winning score was 25-23, 20-25, 18-25, 26-24, 15-11.
One of the key turnaround factors for Florida was the improved hitting of Carli Snyder as the match progressed. As shown in the box score, Snyder had only two kills in the first three games combined (both in Game 2), seven in Game 4, and two in Game 5. In the post-game quotes, USC coach Mick Haley explained the situation in terms of a shift in USC's lineup apparently geared at increasing the Trojans' offensive firepower at the cost of losing their most effective blocking match-up on Snyder:
"What happened is they got [Carli Snyder] away f…
2017 NCAA Women's Tourney: First Weekend Wrap
The first two rounds of this year's NCAA women's tourney were completed this weekend and there were several casualties among seeded teams. We lost No. 8 Washington (to Illinois), No. 9 Creighton (to Michigan State), No. 12 Baylor (to Colorado), No. 14 Iowa State (to Wisconsin), and No. 16 Wichita State (to Mizzou). In addition, No. 4 Kentucky and No. 10 USC were taken to five games before prevailing, vs. Western Kentucky and San Diego, respectively.
One might be tempted to say there's increasing parity among top teams. However, three of the upsets were engineered by unseeded Big Ten (B1G) teams, so it's hardly the case that teams from mid-major conferences are displacing ones from the power leagues. In fact, the B1G has six teams remaining (No. 1 Penn State, No. 5 Nebraska, and No. 7 Minnesota, in addition to the unseeded teams listed above). The Pac 12 is close behind, with five remaining teams (No. 3 Stanford, No. 10 USC, No. 11 Utah, No. 15 UCLA, and unseeded Co…
2017 NCAA Women's Tourney Preview
The bracket for this year's NCAA women's tournament was announced Sunday night and play begins Thursday. One aspect of the draw raising some eyebrows is the No. 4 national seed for Kentucky (behind Penn State, Florida, and Stanford). The Wildcats went 17-1 in the SEC, splitting two matches with Florida, and 26-3 overall (match-by-match log). UK's two nonconference losses were to Creighton (9th seed in the NCAA field) and Kansas, whereas the Wildcats' best nonconference wins were over USC (10th seed) and Utah (11th seed).
Using my Conference-Adjusted Combined Offensive-Defensive (CACOD) rating system (described here), I peg Kentucky as having the 13th-best chance to win the national title. The chart below (which you can click on to enlarge) shows the CACOD rating (under "adjratio") for each of the 16 seeded teams. A team's own hitting percentage during the season is one of the major components of the CACOD and the Wildcats' (.321) was one of the best i…
Nebraska Wins with Stunning Ease at Penn State
No. 2 Penn State suffered its first loss of the season last night, as Nebraska came into State College and swept the Nittany Lions, 26-24, 25-19, 25-20. The number that caught my eye was the Huskers' hitting percentage of .347. This was the highest hitting percentage Penn State had allowed an opponent since Minnesota put up a .374 in sweeping the Nittany Lions on October 29, 2016 in Minneapolis.
Nebraska entered the match with three losses on the season, to highly ranked Oregon and Florida in an opening-weekend tournament, and to Northern Iowa on September 16. As noted, Penn State's ledger was perfect before last night and included a pair of wins over defending national champion Stanford.

Didn't We See This Movie Before? (2017 NCAA Men's Final)
A little over a week ago, for the second straight year, Ohio State swept BYU for the NCAA men's championship. Whereas last year's result was somewhat of a surprise, this year's was less so, as the Buckeyes were the host team for the Final Four.
As the following chart shows, similarity between the last two years' title matches went beyond the identities of the teams involved and the score. In particular, Ohio State's hitting percentage, as a team, was extremely similar in the 2016 and 2017 finals. BYU's spike attempts totaled 71 last year and 70 this year; each of these substantially trailed OSU's respective number of attempts, suggesting Cougar problems with serve-receipt, passing, and staying in-system.

Didn't We See This Movie Before? (2017 NCAA Men's ...


Everyone you know has past failures and has fallen multiple times because human nature is frail and weak, unable to resist sin in all of its many forms. It crouches around the corner, waiting to pounce on you when you least expect it. If you don't believe that, think of your particular struggle, your greatest past failures and weaknesses. Is it money? Or lust? Or one of the many sins of the tongue? Now think of how you have tried to eradicate this from your life — the prayers for strength when you are tempted, the constant turning away – but no matter how hard you have tried, it should be easy to remember some past failures when that sin caught you by surprise and you slipped up. We all do it. Don't let worldly temptations lead to sorrow.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak and you might want to go around carrying that guilt of past failures, but God has forgiven you and forgotten your transgressions. Many times our real problem is we are not able to forgive ourselves, to stop replaying those things in our minds, some of them happened before you became a Christian and you didn't even know (in some cases) you were transgressing.
But Jesus is the name above all names, and He came to bear our sin so that we might be released from past failures to live again. So we can lay it down, too. Sometimes the guilt and painful reminders are a work of Satan. I find it curious that I suddenly remember things that happened 10, 20, or even 30 years ago that were wrong. Why am I suddenly thinking about this after all this time? Sometimes it is hard to know if our memories are coming from unforgiveness or as a thorn in the flesh from Satan.
But he has no hold on us, so when I find myself in that position, I stop what I am doing, ask God to forgive me for that and then I tell Satan to move along. Because we can turn to God and come directly into the throne room and ask God's forgiveness and obtain it right away. Prayer changes things.
Past failures have no real hold over us other than what we give them.
Past failures are not behind us any longer; they are nailed to the cross and we bear it no more.
Jesus bore all of our sins, past, present and future, so past failures are not really failures after all.

This record unit consists primarily of records documenting the scientific activities of OLP, 1970-1974, and its predecessors, the Assistant Director for Oceanography, NMNH, 1962-1966, and the Office of Oceanography and Limnology, 1966-1970. The records consist of incoming and outgoing correspondence, proposals, reports, fiscal materials, publications, photographs, and research data. They include an organizational file documenting OLP relations with oceanographic institutions, commissions, government agencies, and colleges and universities; a file concerning international activities and projects of OLP; a subject file, primarily concerning oceanographic matters; records providing comprehensive documentation of the nine-year history of MMSC; and files concerning projects conducted at Skadar Lake, Yugoslavia, and Nam Ngum, Laos.
The history of the Oceanography and Limnology Program can be traced to 1962 when Irvin Eugene Wallen was appointed Assistant Director for Oceanography in the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH). Duties of the Assistant Director for Oceanography included aiding NMNH scientists in marine research; maintaining liaison with scientists and ocean-going vessels for collecting biological materials; representing the Smithsonian Institution on committees and councils concerned with oceanography; and developing and operating a sorting center for marine biological and geological materials. The Smithsonian Oceanographic Sorting Center (SOSC) was established in 1962, under the administrative control of the Assistant Director for Oceanography. In 1966, the position of Assistant Director for Oceanography was abolished, and its duties were assumed by the newly created Office of Oceanography and Limnology. The Office, with Wallen as Head, reported to the Assistant Secretary for Science and was administratively responsible for the SOSC and the Mediterranean Marine Sorting Center (MMSC), which was established in September 1966. As a result of a reorganization in the Smithsonian's environmental programs, the Office of Environmental Sciences (OES) was established in October 1969. At that time, the Office of Oceanography and Limnology became the Oceanography and Limnology Program (OLP) of OES. In October 1973, OES was merged with the Office of International Activities to create the Office of International and Environmental Programs (OIEP). OLP became an administrative unit of the newly created OIEP. OLP was abolished in June 1974. At that time, Smithsonian environmental programs were merged to form the International Environmental Sciences Program (IESP) of OIEP. IESP and OIEP were terminated in 1975.
Staff of OLP and its predecessors, the Assistant Director for Oceanography, NMNH and the Office of Oceanography and Limnology included Wallen, Assistant Director for Oceanography, NMNH, 1962-1966, Head, Office of Oceanography and Limnology, 1966-1969; William Aron, Deputy Head, 1967-1969, Director, 1969-1971; Robert P. Higgins, Oceanographer, 1968-1969, Director, 1971-1974 (from 1970 to 1971, Higgins served as Director of MMSC); Dail W. Brown, Oceanographer, 1970-1972; David K. Young, Deputy Director, 1972-1974; and Catherine J. Kerby, Estuarine Biologist, 1973, Deputy Director, 1974.
This record unit consists primarily of records documenting the scientific activities of OLP, 1970-1974, and its predecessors - the Assistant Director for Oceanography, NMNH, 1962-1966, and the Office of Oceanography and Limnology, 1966-1970. The records were mostly created by Wallen, Aron, and Higgins, with smaller amounts of material documenting the activities of other staff members. Records post-dating the termination of OLP in June 1974 are those of Higgins and Catherine J. Kerby, created while staff members of IESP and the SOSC, and usually concern projects or activities initiated by OLP. The records consist of incoming and outgoing correspondence; proposals; reports; fiscal materials; publications; photographs; and research data. They include an organizational file documenting OLP relations with oceanographic institutions, commissions, government agencies, and colleges and universities; a file concerning international activities and projects of OLP; a subject file, primarily concerning oceanographic matters; records providing comprehensive documentation of the nine-year history of MMSC; and files concerning projects conducted at Skadar Lake, Yugoslavia and Nam Ngum, Loas.

Mediterranean Marine Sorting Center Files, 1965-1976.
The Mediterranean Marine Sorting Center (MMSC) was established in September 1966 at Salambo, Tunisia. Under the administrative control of the Office of Oceanography and Limnology (after 1970, the Oceanography and Limnology Program), MMSC received environmental data and marine biological collections from the Mediterranean area. MMSC would sort the collections and distribute data and specimens to scientists and research institutions throughout the world. Directors of MMSC included David K. Damkaer, 1966-1967; Neil C. Hulings, 1967-1969; Robert P. Higgins, 1969-1970; William P. Davis, 1970-1973; and Ernani G. Menez, 1973-1975. MMSC was terminated on 20 June 1975.

A happy childhood is the foundation of life and school days are an important part of a child's formative years. Unfortunately large numbers of children in India's carpet weaving belt start work at an age when western children are starting school. To deal with this problem Project Mala was founded in 1989 to provide a three year non-formal education course to children. Our aim is to help eradicate the use of child labour on the carpet weaving looms and enable working children to regain their lost childhood.

Q: How to set NSViewShowAlignmentRects? The documentation about autolayout refers to setting NSViewShowAlignmentRects to show the alignment rects around the UIView objects in the app.
I've tried setting it for Xcode, but it shows the rects for Xcode itself, not the app when it runs in the simulator.
defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode NSViewShowAlignmentRects -bool YES

A: Add this code:
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:YES
                                        forKey:@"UIViewShowAlignmentRects"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];

And then restart the app for it to take effect.

A: To do this using the scheme editor in Xcode:

*

*In the Xcode menu Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme (or ⌘-<)

*In Debug, the Arguments tab, Arguments passed on launch, click the plus button and enter this:
-UIViewShowAlignmentRects YES (for iOS projects)
or
-NSViewShowAlignmentRects YES (for Mac OS projects)

*You'll need the dash at the start

*Tap OK

You should have a bunch of yellow outlines when you run

A: You set a simple launch argument from your app's scheme. This is UIViewShowAlignmentRects for iOS and NSViewShowAlignmentRects for OS X. Set the argument value to YES and make sure to prefix with a dash.

Axes and answers: Dinosaur Jr.'s J Mascis talks guitars with PS I Love You's Paul Saulnier.
We at the Star had a bit of a brainstorm when Dinosaur Jr. was in town for its three dates at Lee's Palace in late September.
Since Dino frontman and all-around indie guitar god J Mascis's reputation for being a painful interview is well established — he's not a jerk or anything, for the record, just an incredibly tough chap to get talking — we wondered if sending another indieguitar god in to talk shop with the man might yield better results.
Paul Saulnier, the axe-slingin' half of young Kingston duo PS I Love You, seemed a perfect fit for the task. His fluid, blazingly loud style of playing often draws comparisons to Mascis, for one thing, and last spring Saulnier found himself on the same Spin magazine list of the "100 greatest guitarists of all time," coming in at No. 99 behind Mascis at No. 5. A match made in heaven, right?
Well, yes and no. Saulnier and Mascis definitely seemed to hit it off whilst geeking out over the particulars of Mascis's 80-pound guitar-pedal set-up, but a more soft-spoken and awkward pair they could not have been.
"I was extremely nervous and a little scared," concedes Saulnier, whose band plays Sheridan College on Oct. 31. "It's always weird to meet someone you admire and who's such an amazing talent. But when I met J, I was kind of relieved because he was really down-to-earth and weirdly calming.
To his credit, Saulnier — who jokes that the experience "was probably better for me than anyone else" — got Mascis to open up more than most, and it was a genuine treat to see this unassuming Canadian kid shake off the jitters and pick the brains of one of his guitar heroes on our behalf.
He got a far better interview out of Mascis than this writer would have, and he got to slip his idol a copy of PS I Love You's Death Dreams later that night. We like to think it's playing on the Dinosaur Jr. tour bus somewhere right now.
In any case, we hope you enjoy watching the results of our little experiment as much as we enjoyed conducting it. For an example of Saulnier's skills, see below.

Tha co-labhairt nam Poblachadh ann an Nevada dìreach air tighinn gu crìoch 's tha coltas ann gur e Trump a bhuanaich a' chuid as motha. Ged a tha iad fhathst a'cunntadh ann an Nevada, tha coltas ann gun do bhuannaich an 42% cuid de na bhotaidhean 's gum faigh e 14 riochdairean de na 30 a bha ri fhaighinn ann an Nevada.
Gu ruige seo, tha Trump air 80 riochdairean bhuanachadh. Aig a'cheart àm tha an càch air 52 riochdairean bhuanachadh. Tha Trump fad air thoiseach gu h-àraidh air sgàth gun do bhuannaich e a' cuid gu lèir de na 50 riochdairean as a'Charolina a Deas.
Ged a tha a h-uile coltas ann gur ann le Trump a tha làmh an uachdair, 's e cuid glè bheag de riochdairean a chaidh a thaghadh gu ruige seo. 'S e còrr 's 2,000 riochdairean a tha ri chunntadh ann fhathast. An t-seachdainn sa tighinn tha suas ri 500 riochdairean ri thaghadh am meag 13 stàitean 's stàit agam fhìn nam measg (Alaska).
Airson bhuanachadh gu bhith na thagraiche nam Poblachdach, chan e a'chuid as motha a dh'fheumas Trump ri bhuanachadh ach a' mhòr chuid. An rud a tha ri fhaicinn an t-seachdain neo dhà a tha ri tighinn 's e an e an duine a-mhàin a tha fhathast na sheasamh an aghaidh Trump neo triùir neo dithis? Gu ruige meadhain a'mhàirt, thèid a mhòr chuid de riochdairean a roinn a rèir chuid de bhotaidhean a bhuanaicheas gach duine. As dèidh sin, an duine a bhuanaicheas a'chuid as motha ann an stait, fiùs mur a bheil e ach 30% gheibh e a'chuid gu lèir de riochdairean anns an stàit a tha seo. Mar sin, ma s'ann gu bheil thu ag iarraidh duine sam bith eile seach Trump, an rud a tha thu ag iarraidh fhaicinn 's e aon duine a mhain a tha fhathast na sheasamh an aghaidh Trump. Mas ann gun bheil can triùir ann fhathast, tha e gu math coltach gur e Trump a tha gu bhuannachadh mar thagraiche nam Poblachdach.
Chuir am Poileas stad orm a-raoir. Bha solas thoiseach a'chàir agam briste. Rud eile: bha gunna-làimhe agam fo chleith. Ann an Alasga, chan ann an aghaidh an lagh a tha seo. Ach nuair a th' agad ri còmhradh a dhèanamh leis a' phoileas, feumaidh tu innse dha sa bhad gu bheil gunna-làimhe agad. Mura innse, bhiodh tu ann an trioblaid.
Mar sin, nuair thòisich e ri bruidhinn rium chuir mise stad airsan 's thuirt mi gun b' fheudar dhomh innse dha gu robh mi airmaichte. Saoilidh mi gun do ghabh e iongnadh rud beag. "Taing mhòr airson sin innse dhomh" thuirt e. Thòisich sinn an uair sin ri còmhradh a dheanamh mun an t-solas a bha briste. Dh'innse mi dha gu robh mi mothachail gu robh an solas briste 's bha mi a' feuchainn ri àm stèidheachadh leis a'gharaidse airson a chàrachadh.
'S ann an uair sin thuirt e: "Theab mi diochuimhneachadh an ID agad iarraidh ort." Thòisich mi greimeachadh airson na màideid agam 's an uair sin stad mi. B'ann ri taobh na màileid agam a bha an gunna agam. Thuig esan dè a chuir stad orm. "Tha sin ceart gu leòr, cait a bheil an gunna agad?" "Air mo seachd làmh an uaireadair, 's ciotach mi. " Mar sin thug mi an cead-dràibhidh agam dha.
Beagan as-dèidh thill e 's dh' fhaighnich e dhomh: "Carson a tha cead giùlainn agad?"
An rud a th'ann 's e cha leag leas cead a bhith agad airson giùlainn ann an Alasga. Tha rudeign mu leth dhusan stàitean ann, Alasga nam measg, far a bheil còir aig an t-sluagh ri ghùlainn as aonais cead. Mar sin, carson a tha cead agam? Ueill, gus am bith còir agam ri ghiùlainn anns na stàitean (tha suas ri ceathrad dhiubh ann) a bhios a'toirt aithne dhan chead againne. 'S sin a thuirt mi ris.
Leis a sin, thug e cead dhomh leantainn orm air mo shlighe agus b' e seo deireadh a' chòmhraidh againn.
Tha mi a'cur sreath ùr de bhideothan air loidhne. 'S ann air cuspair gunnaichean a tha iad. Chan ann airson a bhith connspaideach a tha mi a'deanamh sin ach air sgàth gur e cuspair anns a bheil ùidh mhòr agamsa 's ma tha ùidh mhòr agamsa ann an rudeigin 's mathaid gun deanainn bhideo nas inntinniche m'a dhèidhinn.
'S e cuspair mòr 's farsaing 's ioma-fhillte a th'ann an gunnaichean 's 's iomadh bhideothan a ghabhas ri dhèanamh orra. San àite far a bheil mi fhìn a'fuireachd chan e cuspair connspaideach idir a th'ann ach cuspair làitheal d'ar beatha.
'S e cuspair de na chiad corra bhideothan a th'agam dhuibh pròiseact poingealachd. Tha raidhfil AR-15 a th'air a bhith agam bho chionn còrr 's fichead bliadhna. 'S nuair a cheannaich mi e, bha e anabarach fhèin poingealach. Ghabh mi pàirt ann am mòran co-fharpaisean 's bha mi gu math soirbheachail leis. Ach an-dràsda, chan eil e air a bhith cho poingealach sa bha e air a bhith ron a sin agus 's e an t-amas a th'agam poingealachd an raidhfail agam a thoirt air ais air mar bu chòr.
Anns a'chiad bhideo seo, tha mi a'toirt sùil air corra targaidean a rinn mi leis an raidhfil agam 's chan eil mi cho toilichte leotha. Pàirt d'an dùbhlan air th'air a bhith agam, 's e gu bheil goireasan gunna air a bhith gu math gann thar na corra bliadhnaichean mu dheireach.
An-uraidh bha na luchd poileataigs air a bhith ag eigheachd toirmeasg a chur air a h-uile càile co-ceaghailte ri gunnaichean 's bho'n uair sin tha goireasan gunnaichean air a bhith gu math gann. Tha a h-uile duine air a bhith ann an eagail 's a h-uile càil co-cheaghailte ri gunnaichean, rachadh iad an ceannachd cho luath 's a nochdadh iad sna bùithtean. 'S am pùdar 's na peillearan a bh'air a bhith cho puingealach anns an AR15 agam, chan eil iad ri fhaighinn idir airson prìs sam bith.
As dèidh mìosan mòra gun a bhith connadh-gunna ri fhaighinn d'an seòrsa sam bith sna bùithtean, nochd connadh-ghunna .223 Remington, an connadh-gunna a loisgeas a'chuid as mhotha de na AR-15, anns na bùithtean. Ach an rud a th'ann, mar as trice, ma 's 's e puingealachd an rud a tha thu ag iarraidh, bhiodh connadh-ghunna dèante anns na factoraidhean nam bruiseadh-dùil dhut.
Anns a'bhideo sin 's sna corra bhideothan a leannas, bheir mi sùil air mar a nì thu puingealach gunna 's mar a tha barail raidhfil nas coltaiche ri sraing guitar sa shaoileadh tu.
Feumaidh mi aideachadh, tha a'chiad bhideo seo caran fada 's slaodach. 'S e mo dhòchas nach bi na bhideothan as leanas cho slaodach.
Dùbhlan eile a th'agam 's e gu bheil briathrachas ghàidhlig co-ceangailte ri gunnaichean caran gann. 'S e cuspair caran teagneagach 's aig amannan tha e caran doirbh dhomh mìneachadh ceart a dhèanamh mar bu chòir. Bhithinn nam chomain do dhuine sam bith aig am biodh molaidhean sam bith dhomh co-ceangailte ris a'chuspair seo.
Gunnaichean: m'eachdraidh phearsanta 's Gunnaichean.
Bha mi mothachail co-dhiù gu robh beàrn mòr ann eadar sinne sna Stàitean Aonaichte 's an fheadhainn a tha a'fuireachd sa Roinn Eòrpa ri thaobh gunnaichean. Ach thàinig seo a-steach orm gu soilleir 's gu pearsanta bho chionn ghoirid nuair a dh'fhàg cuideigin mi mar charaid Facebook, cuideigin a b'aithne dhomh o chionn suas ri deich bliadhna. Thuirt i gu robh gunnaichean cus am foillis air an làrach FB agam. Dh'innse mi mun a thachair do thriùir a bhios ag obair còmhla rium 's b'e seo cùis-iongnaidh mhòr dhaibh. Feumaidh gu bheil an sgaireadh nas motha na bha mi a'smaoineachadh.
Ach shaoil mi gum biodh e math 's inntinneach sreath a dèanamh air gunnaichean ann an Ameireagaigh, bho thaobh nach tèid innse gu tric sna meadhanan. 'S iomadh cuspairean a ghabhas innse. Bhiodh seo nàdar de thuraisgeul bho thaobh a-staigh cultar nan gunnaichean sna Stàitean Aonaichte. Eadar eachdraidh 's fiosrachadh teigneagach 's sabhailteachd 's mar a tha lagh ag obair 's uibhir de phoileataigs cuideachd 's mathaid gum biodh an sreath seo inntinneach.
Anns a'chiad dol-a-mach bu mhath leam geàrr-chunntas a dhèanamh de mo bheatha fhìn 's gunnaichean.
Bha gunnaichean riamh san taigh againn. Bho na ciad chuimhnean agam, bha suas ri dhusan gunnaichean againn: mu leth-dhusan raidhfilean 's gunnaichean-froise 's mu leth-dhusan gunnaichean-làimhe.
Nuair a rachamaid air làithean-saora, bha daonnan gunnaichean againn fiù 's mura robh sinn a-mach airson sealg. Tha cuimhn'am, bha baga sònraichte daonnan ann air cùl an t-suidheachain-dhràibhidh anns an robh gunna-làimhe neo dhà agus peilearan. An rud nach buinn dhut nach bean dha. Thuig sinn nach robh còir againn idir beantainn ris a'bhaga seo. Tha cuimhn'am gur e 45 ACP fear de na gunnaichean a bh'ann 's gun teagamh 's ann airson ar dìon fhèin a an gunna seo.
Ach bha gunnaichean eile againn cuideachd: 22 neo dha airson spòrs nuair bha sinn a'campachadh. Cuairtean sa choille, snàmh, iasgach 's losgadh gunnaichean. Seo a bhiomaid ri dhèanamh nuair a bha sinn a'campachadh.
Saoilidh mi gu robh mi seachd neo ochd bliadhna dh'aois nuair a thòisich m'athair làimhseachadh gunnaichean a theagaisg dhomh. On a thòisich sinn còmhla, bha mo bhràthair na b'òige na bha mise, còig neo sia. Chuireamaid corra canaichean nan seasamh an sreath a'chèile 's bhiomaid a'losgadh orra.
'S e Stevens 22 LR an raidhfil a chleachd sinn, seann raidhfil a chaidh e a dhèanamh ann an linn 1900 neo na bu thràithe. Raidhfil singailte a bh'ann, b'fheudar dhut an raidhfil fhosgladh an toiseach, peilear a chur ann 's an uair sin 's an raidhfil a dhùnadh. An dèidh dhut an raidhfil a losgadh, b'fheudar dhut fhosgladh as ùr 's an t-slige falamh a tharraing a-mach 's peilear ùr an chur ann. Cùis caran slaodach faiceallach a bh'ann. Ach leis an raidhfil sin, dh'ionnsaich mi sgillean bunateach ri thaobh gunnaichean. 'S iomadh làithean an t-samhraidh a chuir mi seachad ann a bith a'cur peilearan tro canaichean.
Nuair a bha mi aois dhà bhliadhna dheug, thug m'athair raidhfil-ghaoithe 22 dhomh. Airson gach peilear, dh'fheumadh tu a phompadh eadar leth-dhusan 's dhusan uair. Ach bha e comasach peilear a shadadh tro suas ri leth dhusan canaichean an seasamh an sreath a chèile. Agus bha e pongail cuideachd. Bha mi comasach sreath de pheilearan a chur san dearbh tholl.
Thar na bliadhnaichean a lean, losg mi chan eil fhios cò mheud de mhilltean de pheilearan. Bha sinn a'fuireach ann an Arizona aig oir a'bhaile ri thaobh an fhàsaich. 'S iomadh feasgar as dèidh na sgoile a rachainn fhìn 's mo bhràthair cuide ris a'chù againn (German Shepherd) dhan fhàsach ri losgadh air siud 's air seo. On a 's e obair caran mhòr a bh'ann airson gach peilear fhaighinn deiseil, dh'ionnsaich sinn a bhith pongail faiceallach le gach peilear. Fiù 's chun an latha an-diugh, ge-be cò mheud peilearan a th'agam, tha e do-dhèanta dhomh losgadh gu luatha gun cuimseachadh. Tha mi daonnan faiceallach a bhith cho pongail sa s'urrainn dhomh.
Nuair a bha mi trì bliadhna deug a dh'aois, cheannaich mi a'chiad gunna le mo chuid airgead agam fhìn. 'S e Remington 700 ann an 30-06. Fìor raidhfil a bh'ann a bha freagarach airson sealg mòr. Seo an raidhfil a chleachd mi airson sealg fad bliadhnaichean mòra.
Nuair a bha mi ceithir bliadhna deug a dh'aois, ghluais sinn a Chanada, a Quebec 's b'fheudar dhuinn na gunnaichean-làimhe againn fhàgail sna Stàitean Aonaichte, rud a bha na annas dhomh. Ach b'ann sa cheann a tuath Quebec a bha sinn a'fuireachd 's bha gunnaichean ceart cho nàdarrach dhaibhsan ann an sin sa bha iad air a bhith dhuinne ann an Arizona. Bha caraid dhomh leis a bha mi a'losgadh. Cuideachd bha e a'sealg le athair. B'aithne dhomh cuideachd daoine eile san sgaoil a bha a'sealg as dèidh na sgoile.
Tha cuimhn'am air partaidh shònraichte a rinn sinn san sgoil. Bha corra coinneanaich sa chlas againn 's chleachd sinn iad airson tourtière (nàdarr de phàidh thraidisanta Quebec). Ach chan e seo a-mhàin. Chaidh fear de na h-oileanach a-mach dhan a'choille 's fhuair e corra gheàrr dhuinn cuideachd. An tidsear? Uill, 's ise a thug dhuinn an leann!. Smaoinich! An tidsear ag òl deoch làidir linn 's sinn ag ithe biadh a bha sinn air mharbhadh le gunna! Cò mheud riaghailtean 's 'taboo's' a bhris sinn san lath ud! An rud as cuimhne mun an latha sin leam chun an latha an-diugh 's e saorsa.
Seo an cuimhne a th'agam ann an ceann tuath Quebec, La Baie James. Aig a'cheann thall, b'fheudar dhomh dhol gu deas gu Montreal airson leantainn orm le mo chuid fhoghlaim. Chaidh mi dhan cholaid Brébeuf. Cha robh na gunnaichean agam leam 's feumaidh mi aideachadh, cha robh gunnaichean cus air m'aire san linn sin. Bha mi bochd 's an rud a bu chudthromaich dhomh aig an àm sin 's e faighinn air adhart le mo chuid fhoghlam.
Ach an caraid a b'fheàrr leam san linn sin, bha dualchas sheilg aigesan gu mòr. 'S ann às na siorrachdan an ear a bha e (les Cantons de l'est). B'àbhaist dhasan 's d'athair ri sealg le athair. Agus dh'innse e sgeulachd dhomh a bha gu math èibhinn. B'àbhaist dha-san 's d'athair a bhith a'sealg faisg air na crìochan eadar Quebec 's na Stàitean Aonaichte. 'S san sgìre seo, b'e an crìoch sruth beag a bha seo. Agus an rud a dhèanadh mo charaid 's 's e gun ruitheadh e thar an t-sruth a-steach do na Stàitean Aonaichte le gunna aige na làmhan mar gu robh e a'deanamh 'invasion' 's an uairsin ruitheadh e air ais cho luath sa b'urrainn dha.
Ach ged nach do mhothaich mi cus air a sin an toiseach, bha Montreal gu math eadar-dhealaichte bho rud sam bith a b'aithne dhomh roimhe. 'S e baile mòr a bh'ann. 'S mean air mhean thàinig e a-steach orm gu robh na beachdan co-cheagnailte ri gunnaichean gu math eadar-dhealaichte bho na bha mi air fhaicinn gu ruige sin. 'S e glè bheag de dhaoine aig an robh gunnaichean. 'S bhiodh daoine eile caran amharasach mu do dheidhinn-sa nan robh fios aca gu robh gunnaichean acad. An treas bliadhna an oilthigh, fhuair mi leannan ùr 's bha ise gu tur an aghaidh gunnaichean. 'S ann à Èirinn a Tuath a bha a pàrantan 's nam beachd-san 's e rud co-ceangailte ri eucoraich a-mhàin a bha gunnaichean.
Mar a dhlùthaich mi gu deireadh na linne agam san oilthigh, dh'fhàs an cuspair ri thaobh gunnaichean na bu chonspaidiche eadar mi fhìn 's mo leannan. Bha ise ag iarraidh 's gum faigh mi cuideas iad mus phòsamaid. Ach o nach robh mi deònach sin a dhèanamh 's dhealaich sin o chèile. Cha b'ann airson sin a-mhàin, cha bha seo na phàirt dhe.
Aig a'cheann thall, ghluais mi air ais do na Stàitean Aonaichte 's bean agam. Ach chan do staite sam bith ach a dh'Alasga. Staite a tha cha so saor sa th'againn ri thaobh gunnaichean.
Aon rud as cinnteach, 's e taghadh a b'fheudar do Obama a chall. Bha an eaconomaidh chi duilich 's bha am mòr-shluagh chi mi-thoilichte le Obama shaoileadh tu nach robh dòigh sam bith gun chàilleadh na Republicans an taghadh seo. Ach chàill agus 's iad na Poblachdaich fhèin as coireach!
S chiad a'dol a-mach chan eil mi ag aontachadh idir leis a'bheachd gur e fìor 'right wing' a th'ann an Romney. Chuimhnich gun deach Romney a thaghadh mar riaghladair ann am Massechusets, stàit nas libralaich sa th'againn sna S.A.! Fad ùine mhòr ag àm nan bu-tafhaidhean, cha d'fhuair Romney na bu mhotha na 30 neo 40%. An rud a bu choireach 's e gu robh Romney caran librealach an taca ri càch.
Agus an laigseas eile a bh'aig Romney 's e gu robh e dhen bheachd gum b'urrainn dha an taigh geal bhuannachadh as aonais luchd-taic Ron Paul. 'S e Ron Paul an aon Phoblachdach seach Romney a bhuannaich uair sam bith air thoiseach air Obama sna cunntais-bheachd. Ach bha nàdar de chogadh sìobhalta eadar an iomairt Romney agus Ron Paul. Rinn an iomairt Romney a h-uile seòrsa cleas sa b'urrainn dhaiibh gus na delegates Paul a-mach as an convention 's an fheadhain a fhuair a-staigh a chumail gun ghuth. Aig deireadh a'ghnothaich, bha an roinn Ron Paul fhathast taobh a-staigh an iomairt Romney nuair a thàinig an convention nàiseanta gu crìoch. Chunnaic mi fhìn beagan dearbhadh de sin gu pearsanta. Oir bha mi fhìn nam delegate dhan State Convention ann an Alaska. Agus tha dithis delegates co-dhiù as aithne dhomh NACH do bhot airson Romney! Smaoinich air a sin. Dithis delegate Republican nach do bhot airson Romney! Bhiodh ùidh mhòr agam fhaighinn a-mach co-mheud bhotaidhean-sgrìobhaidh a bh'ann an Ohio agus ann am Florida.
Rud eile mu na Hispanics. Tha roinn ann am measg nam poblachdach a bhios a smaoineachadh air na Stàitean Aonaichte mar nàdar de dhùthaich Shasanach. English only bidh iad ag èigheach. Agus chan eil iad airson a dhèighlicheadh gu cothromach ri na latinos a th'air tighinn a-steach gu mi-laghail. Tha Rick Perry na dhearbhadh de sin. Chaidh esan a thaghadh dà uair mar riaghladar ann an Texas far a bheil tòrr tòrr hispanics ann ged a 's e duine ghlè ghlèiteach a th'ann. Ciamar? Leig iad clann legal imigrants dhol dhan olthigh. Rinn Romney càineadh dheth airson sin 's cha do dhìochuimhnich na Hispanics e.
Am beachd sa th'agam-sa, 's e bu chòir poileasaidh dhà chànanachd nòs Canada chur air dòigh as leth nan Hispanics. A'cheist a th'agamsa duinn na poblachdaich-ne: cò as chudthromaich dhuinn: English only neo riaghltas nas lùgha 's riaghladh a-rèir na bun-reachd? Agus rud eile: chan fhaigh thu English only co-dhiù 's ma dh'fheuchas tu breith oirre, chan fhaigh thu an rud eile nas motha.
Aig a'cheann thall, 's iad na luchd-stiùiridh na partaidh as coireach gun do chàill. Bha an eaconomaidh dhuilich cho fàbhorach do ma poblachdaich ach chàill iad co-dhiù! Bith deasbaid inntinneach roinn taobh a-staigh na partaidh mu cait an tèid iad sna ceithir bliadhna a tha roinn!
An t-seachdain sa chaidh, sgrìobh mi mu mar a tha làmh an uachdar aig Mitt Romney ged a tha na cunntais-bheachd a'cantainn gu bheil Romney agus Obama gu math faisg air a'chèile. Ach chan eil sin ach pàirt dhen sgeul. Chan ann a-rèir bhotaidhean an t-sluaigh de na Stàitean Aonaichte a thèid Romney neo Obama a thaghadh ach a-rèir bhotaidhean-taghaidh (neo electoral votes ann am Beurla). Ged a tha còrr 's 300 million duine a tha a'fuireach anns na Stàitean Aonaichte 's ged a thèid còrr 's 100 million duine ri bhotadh, chan eil ach 538 bhotaidhean-taghaidh airson Cheann-suidhe. Tha iad air an roinn eadar na stàitean a-rèir co-mheud riochdairean 's seanadairean sa th'aig gach stàite. Tha aon riochdaire agus dhà sheanadair aig Alasga. Mar sin tha trì bhotaidhean taghaidh againne. Airson buannachadh, feumaidh tu 270 neo barrachd bhotaidhean-taghaidh a bhuannachadh.
Rud eile. Ann an 48 de na stàitean, ma bhuannaicheas tu an stàit, bhuannaicheas tu na bhotaidhean-taghaidh dhen stàite sin air fad. Bha Florida na deagh eiseimplir de sin ann an 2000. Ged a bha Gore agus Bush an ìre mhath co-ionnan ann an 2000 ann an Florida, bhuannaich Bush na 25 botaidhean-taghaidh a bh'innte air fad air sgàth gu robh esan corra bhotaidhean air thoiseach air Gore.
Mar sin, dh'fhaodadh cuideigin buannachadh anns an electoral college gun a bhith buannachadh a'mhòr cuid de botaidhean an t-sluaidh air fad. Thachair sin trì tursan ann an eachdraidh nan Stàitean Aonaichte: 1876, 1888 agus 2000.
Agus seo a'phuing: ged a tha Romney a'buannachadh a-rèir nan cunntas-bheachd as leth na dùthcha air fad, tha e a'call ann an Ohio. Tha Ohio uabhasach fhèin cudthromach mar stàit san Electoral College. Thar an fhicheadamh linn air fad, seachd Kennedy ann an 1960, cha do bhuannaich duine an Taigh Geal as aonais Ohio.
Bha an taghadh cho faisg sa ghabhas. Bhuannaich Bush le 271 bhotaidhean-taghaidh an aghaidh na 267 a bh'aig Gore. Nan robh Bush air aon stàit eile a chall bhiodh e air an taghadh a chall.
Ma bhuannaicheas Romney tè de na stàitean sin, buannaichidh e an taigh geal fiù 's as aonais Ohio. Neo ma choimheadas sinn air a'chùis tro shùilean Obama: feumaidh Obama Ohio a bhuannachadh gun a bhith call tè seach tè de na ceithir stàitean Gore sin.

Q: Allow access to phpmyadmin from localhost only I am trying to config my server phpmyadmin to access only from the localhost and not from the remote. Below is the configuration on server /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
 Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin

 <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin>
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from 127.0.0.1

   Options FollowSymLinks
   DirectoryIndex index.php

</Directory>

So, while I access phpmyadmin from remote I am getting 403 forbidden which is good but when I access phpmyadmin from localhost (that is from server using remote desktop), I am still getting 403 while I think this should give access to phpmyadmin from localhost. Anything I am missing here?
Thank you

A: My guess is you are using Apache 2.4.x.  The syntax for access control changed between 2.2 and 2.4.  The Order and Deny syntax you're using is for Apache 2.2, but won't work for 2.4.  In 2.4 it would be something like:
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin>
    Require ip 127.0.0.1
    Options FollowSymLinks
    DirectoryIndex index.php
</Directory>

Reference from Apache upgrade doc, and Access Control docs.

A: Logical mistake
You make one big mistake, every one of you.
PhpMyAdmin is NOT a server, it's just a client written as a PHP script and served by some HTTP server (Apache in this case).
That what you want(ed) and others suggested doing is trying to disable access for phpmyadmin vhost of the HTTP server, but it will be still possible to log in into the base with any other client from terminal's mysql command, to GUI client like MySQL Workbench or IDE's build in DB clients. Where's the logic?
Of course, you can join both techniques (HTTP securing and MySQL securing) however without the second your database will be still unsafe. PhpMyAdmin is just a client! It has even own mechanics for controlling access, but if someone will use any other client (mentioned above) your effort will be absolutely worthless).
Solution:
To maintain your case you should create a dedicated MySQL account with localhost access (I can bed, that at the moment of writing this post it is/was % which means global), then MySQL will control all incoming connections to check if they are from local machine or from the world.
Just don't forget to remove the account with global access (%) and flush the privileges after all changes.
Also, I always suggest creating exactly one user with all privileges to exactly one dedicated database (ofc, other than root). That way, even if you are only admin who works at the many databases, you minimize the risk of accidental changes in other databases. (Pro-tip, good password manager will be your friendly ghost-guard).
I'd suggest googling it and get overall knowledge over this topic, as it's quite crucial for DB security, however that'll be also enough if you'll implement simple solution from very first answer found. Using localhost restriction on MySQL, preferably with setting blocking of 3306 port on the firewall side, is a perfect solution to access your data with locally installed PhpMyAdmin script 100%  securely(if that's possible at all).
Below cite answer from another post
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO db_user @'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'db_passwd';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO db_user @'127.0.0.1' IDENTIFIED BY 'db_passwd';

[mysqld]
bind-address = 127.0.0.1

P.S. You dont need even to write SQL command for this, you can change it for each user with... PhpMyAdmin.

A: I think this should work, and make it so that you can only access it locally, it should be something like this mostly, but :
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin>
    Require local
    #......otherthings (also, only copy the line Require local)
