Xbox controller as sideways wiimote for Punchout!!
Hi. I found at one point a setup that used the xbox controller as a sideways Wiimote and the mouse for the ir functions (moving boxing glove cursor). I made the mistake of installing Dolphin Triforce without the portable text file and lost my config. I cant find it anywhere now, after several searches on these forums and the interwebs. Can somebody help? I tried a generic setup I found in a closed thread but it makes you use the left thumbstick for left jabs, etc. Not optimal. Anyone have a good setup that would optimally use the A button for left jab, and the B button for right?

Q: Finding the value of $(\log_x y)^2 + (\log_y x)^2$ The problem goes like this:

Let $x$ and $y$ be two positive real numbers such that $$\log_x y + \log_y x = 3.$$ Find the value of$$(\log_x y)^2 + (\log_y x)^2.$$

So, I simplified the problem to look like this:$$ 2\log_x y + 2\log_y x.$$ And then following that, I factored out the two, leaving me with this:$$ 2(\log_x y + \log_y x). $$
From there, I am stuck because I do not know how to integrate the $3$ from the original equation into this new one, as I am sure the value of this new one has something to do with the $3$ given in the problem. Is the $3$ squared or is the $3$ left as is, or am I forgetting to do something else not mentioned...?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

A: *

*If the problem is about finding $\log_x (y^2)+\log_y(x^2)$... $\log_x (y^2)+\log_y(x^2)=2\log_x y+2\log_y x=2(\log_x y+\log_y x)=2\cdot 3 = 6$.

*If the problem is about finding $(\log_x y)^2+(\log_y x)^2$: note $(\log_x y)^2+(\log_y x)^2=(\log_x y)^2+2+(\log_y x)^2-2=(\log_x y)^2+2\log_x y\log_y x+(\log_y x)^2-2=(\log_x y+\log_y x)^2-2=3^2-2=7$.
We have used that $\log_x y\cdot \log_y x=1$.

Q: Rows in JTextArea Is there a reliable way to calculate how is a string divided into rows in JTextArea?
I have a JTextArea with fixed width and when it gets filled, a new row is added and it expands vertically.
Now, I need to know exactly which characters are in which row. I could add up single character widths using font metrics, but I don't know if that is reliable, or if there may be a better method.
Is the font metrics "trick" the only way?

A: All JTextComponents have modelToView(...) and viewToModel(...) methods that can help, but perhaps even better are the methods in the javax.swing.text.Utilities class including getRowStart(...) and getRowEnd(...)

A: modelToView probably doesn't help the OP, because it starts from pixel coordinates. getRowStart is only indirectly useful, because it starts from offset, not row index, and returns an offset.  The function that would be most useful here is JTextArea.getLineStartOffset(lineNumber), which returns the offset-from-start-of-text of the beginning of a particular line, and the reverse, JTextArea.getLineOfOffset(offset).
(Wish this answer had been here when I stumbled on this page with a similar problem earlier today :-) )

Q: WinError 10057 when connecting using websocket-client I'm making a Flask webapp and I'm using Flask-Socketio. For various reasons, I have a need to also use the websocket-client package. Everything is working as intended, except that when I tried running the app on a different computer on a different network, I get the following error:

I've boiled down my code as much as possible to the following, which still works on my computer, but gives the same error on the other:
|start.py
|app
    |__init__.py
    |views.py
    |templates
        |index.html

# __init__.py

from flask import Flask
from flask_socketio import SocketIO
from gevent import monkey

monkey.patch_all()

APP = Flask(__name__)
SOCKETIO = SocketIO(APP, engineio_logger=True, logger=True)

from . import views

# views.py

from app import APP
from socketio import Client
from flask import render_template

@APP.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def index():
    sio = Client()
    sio.connect("http://localhost:80", transports=['websocket', 'polling']) # Error being caused here
    return render_template('index.html')

# start.py

from app import APP, SOCKETIO

if __name__ == "__main__":
    SOCKETIO.run(APP, debug=True, port=80, host='0.0.0.0')

index.html is just a basic 'Hello World' html page.
What kind of stuff might give me this error on one computer/network an not another, especially just running it on localhost:80? I really don't know what to try here.
EDIT: Added traceback data to error
EDIT 2: In my actual code, the websocket.Client is being run inside a Celery task. I didn't include it here because the error is reproduceable without going into that much complexity.

A: The problem is when you try to run -(Flask-webapp,  websocket-client)-  both of them simultaneously, only one of them will be running.

Update:
Here are some things to be noted:

*

*If you changing machine, make sure system-softwares are already up-to-date.

*Check your system is not behind firewall but when you're running Flask webapp and websocket-client on the same machine then there is not need of this step.

*Try to restart your machine after update your OS.

*Use multiprocessing instead of Threads as they won't work here because the famous Python-Global-Interpreter or GIL. According to which Only one thread can be in a state of execution at any point in time.
The impact of the GIL isn't visible to developers who execute
single-threaded programs, but it can be a - Performance-bottleneck - in
CPU-bound and multi-threaded code.

*Then Check: How to run flask on Port:80. For development purposes Port:5000 is mostly recommended.

*In order to perform "Error Handling" visit the flask-socketio documentation, there is nice tips to to deal with exceptions.
You can go as follow:
@socketio.on_error_default  # handles all namespaces without an explicit error handler
def default_error_handler(e):
    pass

*

*And finally, to handle socket.timeout, you may also use this following code to handle the final error: socket timed out:
try:
socketio.run(app,...

except socket.error as socketerror:
    print("Error: ", socketerror)

*It would be an better approach to use postman.For learning and testing purpose, try to use POSTMAN which is a quick and easy platform for sending REST, SOAP, and GraphQL requests directly within Postman. Visit reference: getting-started-postman.
Here is an example program:
import multiprocessing

# Assume for flask-app
def start_flask_app:
    app.run()

# Assume for websocket-client-app
# Assume basic events you will handle in your client e.g. on_message, on_error, on_close
def start_ws:
    ws = websocket.WebSocketApp(WS_URI, on_message= on_message,
                                        on_error = on_error,
                                        on_close = on_close)
    ws.on_open = on_open
    ws.run_forever()

# use of sub-processes instead of threads.
p_flask = multiprocessing.Process(target=start_flask_app)
p_ws = multiprocessing.Process(target=start_ws)

p_ws.start()
p_flask.start()

p_ws.join()
p_flask.join()

Many people are interested in the structure of World Wide Web and Internet. These are huge networks with many websites, webpages, and servers, routers, respectively, and even more links between webpages and physical connection between servers and routers. These structures can be investigated by means of graph theory.
The network of the Internet is not similar, and therefore not identical to the network of World Wide Web. The aim of Erdős Webgraph Project is to collect data of World Wide Web, and build a useful database.
Webgraph can be defined in several ways. We have our own definition which is the following.
What are the vertices and edges of our graph?
In the present project we construct webgraphs for scientific research purposes. In our construction, the vertices of the graph correspond to domain-names, and we connect by a directed edge (arrow) a domain A to domain B if and only if there exists a document, characterized by an URL, in domain A that hyperlinks to an URL under the domain B. For example, in the picture below, the thick arrows are the edges in our graph, and these edges were added since the thin arrows link from one document to the other, under the distinct domains.
If we consider a large website, e.g., www.cnn.com, then we can find lots of images, videos and links on the page. If we place the mouse over that items, then most www browsers show the internet address, the URL of the item somewhere on the bottom of the browser. Every day hundreds of new URLs are added to large sites (pictures, videos, blog links, etc.), while the name of the site remain unchanged even for decades.
In our example in CNN, there are subdomains (e.g. http://money.cnn.com) and subdirectories (e.g., http://www.cnn.com/OPINION/). We count each subdomain as a distinct domain, but all subdirectory will be considered the part of the domain where it resides.
The degree distribution of the webgraph strongly differs from the degree distribution of the classical Erdős–Rényi random graph model. The degree distribution of the webgraph obides the power law: the fraction of nodes with degree d is roughly proportional to d-c, where c=2.09 for in-degree and c=2.72 for out-degree. This means that the webgraph has lots of large-degree-nodes. Power law distributions are visualized as straight lines in double-logarithm scale graphics, you can witness this fact at our Download page, too.
By some estimates published on Wikipedia on April 2011, there are 1012 different URLs and about 110 million different websites on the WWW. A website can be identified roughly with a domain-name (we wrote "roughly" since the intricacies are not covered here).

Dismay surfaces over coastal map project
Posted By National Wind Watch On August 28, 2010 @ 6:55 am In Rhode Island | Comments Disabled
It has been promoted as a groundbreaking document that will zone the waters off Rhode Island to determine the best locations for wind turbines with the least impact on the ecosystem and local fishing industry.
The two years and more than $8 million of research will help generate standards and regulations that would apply to any development within the covered area. Governor Carcieri particularly likes that the project should expedite the permitting process and help Rhode Island in its quest to have the first offshore wind farm in the country.
Yet, some state officials and environmentalists were surprised to learn this week that the long-awaited ocean-mapping work did not locate the most viable areas for wind turbine projects – such as developer Deepwater Wind's $1.3-billion, 100-turbine proposal – in nearby federal waters.
"I was shocked," said Michael M. Tikoian, chairman of the state Coastal Resources Management Council. The agency regulates coastal development and oversees the Ocean Special Area Management Plan (SAMP) project. "The objective was to pinpoint spots and we were never, ever told that we couldn't do that for the federal waters."
CRMC Executive Director Grover J. Fugate, who leads the effort, said that simply isn't true. The Ocean SAMP – for which the first of three public hearings was held Tuesday – is a critical step in a process that state officials and stakeholders have known about all along.
Opening the dispute on Tuesday, Tikoian said, "Where is the map showing the [suggested] renewable-energy site in the federal waters?"
It isn't in the SAMP, nor will it be, Fugate answered. He explained the document can only speak of suitable zones within state waters despite the fact that the area researched extends well into waters under federal jurisdiction. Federal jurisdiction generally begins three miles offshore.
The SAMP does recommend a zone – an area within state waters to the south and west of Block Island – for turbine projects, such as Deepwater's smaller eight-turbine proposal. But Fugate said federal agencies may file objections with the document if it immediately includes suggested areas on their turf. Opposition could delay approval by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which produces funding and oversight for the CRMC.
Fugate said the procedure, which is spelled out in federal regulations, calls for NOAA approval first and then a geographical extension request from Rhode Island that, if approved, would allow the document to be applied to nearby federal waters.
"We know the area [the location most viable for wind turbines in the nearby federal waters], but any reference to federal statutes and waters is forbidden," Fugate said. He also said he has recent e-mails from the NOAA warning of such an inclusion.
Said Tikoian, "Then why did we spend so much money to study federal waters and not include them? And I want to see the e-mails. We want to ensure accountability and that we paid $8 million of the taxpayers' money on what we said we were going to do."
CRMC member Donald Gomez raised similar concerns. The money that paid for the mapping came from federal grants and the Rhode Island Renewable Energy Fund, a pool of money from a surcharge on utility bills. Deepwater also reimbursed the state for some of the research.
Tricia K. Jedele, vice president and director of the Conservation Law Foundation's Rhode Island Advocacy Center, said at every SAMP meeting she attends, she learns something new and, while that is usually great, hearing this omission from the document less than two months before the CRMC votes on it Oct. 12 is "troubling."
"Since the beginning, the map that has been used for the SAMP area included federal waters," she said Wednesday. "It was our understanding that we were putting together a management plan, based on science, on this area, and we would be seeking consistency."
Fugate said that is exactly what the state wants achieved in the end, but Tikoian and others had a "simplistic understanding or misunderstanding" of the process and "I can't help that."
The Ocean SAMP includes data collected by URI experts and other scientists that show areas within federal waters because that is what was needed to be researched and gathered to have consistency and propose the best regulations, Fugate said. He said the NOAA has been part of the technical advisory committee for the project all along, and that a federal agency known as the Minerals Management Service, part of the Department of the Interior, already has and plans to use the research.
He also said the MMS, which is responsible for leasing offshore ocean space to wind-farm operators, praises the state's approach to new development pressure and recommends other states follow suit.
"Why it's confusing to them, I don't know, but this has always been the case that we had to go through this step-wise fashion to get to where we wanted," Fugate said. "Nothing has changed. Those policies will become binding in the federal waters and Rhode Island is clearly out in the lead on this."
John Torgan, baykeeper for Save The Bay, the state's largest environmental group, said the step-by-step process is how group leaders understood it to be as well. Yet, Torgan said Tikoian's concerns about extending the SAMP to federal waters are legitimate because the process isn't clear.
On a unanimous request from the CRMC, Fugate and staff are preparing a second document to spell out the process and a time line for the steps. The board gave Fugate an Oct. 1 deadline for the supplemental piece.
Calling the SAMP a "scientific blueprint," Governor Carcieri's spokeswoman Amy Kempe said, "At the end of the day, the scientific research and analysis will establish the most promising site for offshore wind turbines in state and federal waters."
Said Tikoian, "Our feeling is we have two more meetings and, at the end of the day, the call is the council's to make. The work has been done. The information is there. We may just put it in and work it out with the federal government later."

Alleged Sex Assault Victims Relieved Fugitive is Back in Custody
Ramon Gaspar was captured in Guatemala and was extradited to Los Angeles
By City News Service	• Published July 6, 2017 • Updated on July 6, 2017 at 7:55 pm
A former nursing assistant who was extradited from his native Guatemala to face charges of sexually abusing eight female patients at a Tarzana hospital is due in a Van Nuys courtroom Friday, while two of his alleged victims expressed relief that he is back in custody.
Ramon Eduardo Rodas Gaspar, 48, had been a fugitive since he failed to appear in court for a July 2006 hearing, nearly a month after a $150,000 bond was posted on his behalf.
Gaspar was arrested Feb. 13 in Guatemala and extradited back to Los Angeles last Friday, according to Deputy District Attorney Cindy Waterman with the Extradition Services Section.
Gaspar was initially charged with three counts involving two alleged victims at what was then known as Encino-Tarzana Regional Medical Center. He was subsequently charged with counts involving six other alleged victims at the hospital, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
He is facing seven counts of sexual battery by fraud, five counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object and three counts of sexual battery on an institutionalized victim, according to the District Attorney's Office.
All of the charges are felonies. The criminal complaint alleges that the crimes occurred between January 2005 and April 2006. Former patients reported being sexually assaulted by Gaspar after surgery, some while still under the effects of anesthesia, according to the Los Angeles Police Department, which began an investigation in June 2006.
On Thursday, two alleged victims told reporters at the LAPD's West Valley Station they had waited 10 long years for news of Gaspar's re-capture.
"For so many years, I waited and waited for that call to come and I pleaded for that call to come," alleged victim Courtney R. said. "I picked it up and I heard, 'I've been waiting 10 years to place this call.' And I just started crying."
Courtney was the first woman to come forward.
She said Gaspar assaulted her just before she was released from the hospital. "You know I was sick, I was in pain," she said. "He had scrubs on. He had a badge so you know the things he was doing made sense at that time. Until finally, upon discharge, is when he actually committed the sexual assault. I realized what had happened and I went to the LAPD."
LAPD Detective Ninette Toosbuy said she remained determined to bring Gaspar to justice over the past decade, vowing that she wouldn't retire until he was found and returned to Los Angeles.
She said his crimes were particularly egregious because he was in a position of trust.
"It's one of the few professions where that professional can tell you to undress. 'Please disrobe for me because I need to examine you,'" Toosbuy said. "And we do it without question. Why? Because we trust them."
Alleged victim Anna B. told reporters she was assaulted in a shower.
"It was my first shower. I hadn't been able to bathe for days," she said. "I was so relieved to get out of my bed and be able to shower. And that's where it occurred (at) that time."
Gaspar -- who worked at the hospital for about two years -- was arrested June 15, 2006, and booked on suspicion of three felony counts of sexual assault.
Several additional alleged victims came forward after police issued a news release about Gaspar on July 7, 2006, resulting in additional charges being filed against him, police said.
Gaspar skipped bail soon afterward and disappeared with his wife and 6- year-old son, according to the LAPD.
The case was featured on the Fox Broadcasting series "America's Most Wanted" and investigators learned Gaspar had fled to Guatemala. He is being held without bail.

Oh neat! It looks great.
Ha!!! Trust me to remember this after I posted earlier. A good place to find "older" technical information is http://www.lib.umich.edu. They have some older technical books like M.N. Forney's Catechism of the Locomotive. This is a good reference for a lot of railroad information including a lot of "lost" information on how Steam engines work.


It's 1993 and East Germany (GDR), recently free from the grip of the Soviet Union, is experimenting with a socialist style of direct democracy. The country is struggling - economically, politically, even psychologically and it's citizens are doing their best to cope.
Martin Grobe is sort of a cop, but without much authority. His job is to keep the new republic on course. How he and his colleagues do this is by attending a lot of meaningless meetings and talking philosophy.
A minor official is found murdered. Why Grobe is sent to investigate is never clear. In fact quite a bit of Max Hertzberg's, Stealing the Future, An East German Spy Story is vague including the conspiracy theory behind the murder.
However, if you're interested in the landmarks of East Berlin this story reads like a guidebook and there's some interesting history of what it was like to live in the German Democratic Republic while controlled by the Soviets and the difficulty it's citizens had in changing from a totalitarian regime, where you were told what to do and how to think, to democratic system where you must take control of your own destiny.
There's some good characterization with realistic relationships and dialogue but overall the plot is plagued by didactic passages and the conspiracy that drives the narrative was beyond this reader's comprehension.

Instructions: Warm up before you begin. You will work on 1 circuit at a time. For each, set a timer for 30 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest. You will alternate between exercise 'a' and 'b' until you have performed both exercises 4 times. For example, you would perform exercise '1a' for 30-seconds, take a 10-second rest, perform exercise '1b' for 30-seconds, take a 10-second rest, and then return to exercise '1a' for 30-seconds. Once 4 rounds of each have been completed, take a 1 minute of rest before the next circuit.
Note – Go at a slow and controlled pace during the 30 seconds. You should aim to perform 10 – 15 reps during each circuit.
Finisher! Instructions: Set a timer for 30 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest. Work through each exercise 6a – c until you have completed 3 rounds of each. For example, you would perform exercise '6a' for 30-seconds, take a 10-second rest, perform exercise '6b' for 30-seconds, take a 10-second rest, and then exercise '6c' for 30-seconds. Once 3 rounds of each have been completed, you are done!

In Support of Mexican American Studies
Immigrant rights march, May 1, 2006, Seattle; from Seattle Civil Rights and Labor History Project
Arizona's HB 2281 goes into effect today, and Historians Against the War is calling for instructors around the country to take a few minutes in classes or other places to read a passage from one of the books that the law requires be removed from classrooms throughout the state. The books are:
Critical Race Theory by Richard Delgado
500 Years of Chicano History in Pictures edited by Elizabeth Martinez
Message to Aztlan by Rodolfo Corky Gonzales
Chicano! The History of the Mexican Civil Rights Movement by Arturo Rosales
Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Fiere
Rethinking Columbus: The Next 500 Years edited by Bill Bigelow and Bob Peterson
Occupied America: A History of Chicanos by Rodolfo Acuña
Here's a passage from Occupied America: A History of Chicanos about the Oxnard, California strike of 1903, where Mexican and Japanese immigrant agricultural workers joined forces against the unfair labor practices of local growers. You can also find documents relating to this strike in HERB, with more on the way.
In 1903, Japanese and Mexican workers in Oxnard, California, protested the practices of the Western Agricultural Contracting Company. The Company withheld a percentage of the workers' salaries until the end of the contract. Workers were charged for unnecessary services. They were paid in scrip and thus were forced to buy at the company store at inflated prices. The beet workers formed the Japanese-Mexican Labor Association and after a series of meetings struck on February 28. From the beginning 'the growers, the major contractors, major businessmen, the judges, juries, sheriffs, and officials,' all of whom were Anglo, united to oppose workers. On March 23 an armed conflict broke out and Luis Vasquez died of shotgun wounds.
Workers won a limited victory with the concession that union members be employed on the majority of the contracting companies' farms. After the strike they formed the Sugar Beet and Farm Laborers Union of Oxnard and petition the American Federation of Labor for affiliation. Samuel Gompers, president of the AFL, turned down the request unless the membership guaranteed that Chines and Japanese would not be admitted, but the Mexican workers refused to abandon their Japanese comrades.

Shaggy and Wyclef Jean took the stage together last weekend at Stone Love Anniversary concert 2017.
The former Fugees frontman is currently in Jamaica for a big performance at the upcoming benefit concert Shaggy & Friends set for January 6 on the lawns of Jamaica House in Kingston. The show saw an all-star lineup including performances from I-Octane, Mavado, Sizzla, and Aidonia. During his set, Shaggy called out his surprised guest Wyclef who was met with loud cheers from the audience.
"Listen ya'll looking at me as Wyclef the Haitian, but I was raised with the Jamaicans, you don't believe because am a true MC," Wyclef sings before spitting some lyrics in Spanish, French and Japanese. Clef is one of the most recognized names in music out of the Caribbean. He shot to fame in the 90s as one third of the Fugees which comprised of Lauryn Hill and Pras. The group cemented their place in hip hop as one of the greatest rap groups of all-time.

'The Flavians' - new single 'Silver Car'
So there's loads of new music online (we recommend the new track from 'Moron Police'), but still wanted to squeeze in a few words about the new(ish) single from 'European' band 'The Flavians'. We wrote about the 50% Swedish, 25% Czech and 25% British project (but based in Germany) a few months back when they released a charming if dark humoured song called 'Non Stop Fun (All I Wanted') about the poor office worker who lost everything in one day, and a couple of weeks ago they released a new song entitled 'Silver Car'.
'Silver Car' is a another endearing if slightly sad story from the quartet, who write slightly retro pop songs with likeable harmonised melodies, and this one tells the 'coming of age' tale of a slightly reckless girl who meets a boy, but comes under his bad influence, despite her Mums attempts to protect her. It's another distinct and memorable song, and the video will keep you watching right to the end too. The song is from the bands forthcoming album entitled 'Ordinary People in an Ordinary World', and I'm guessing we'll be offered similar perceptive stories about peoples lives, all probably influenced by the bands experiences living in Berlin.
This is 'Silver Car':
We haven't been given a release date for that album, but we're really looking forward to hearing it. In the meantime you can find 'The Flavians' in the normal Social Media type places.

Mississippi State vs. LSU Game Preview
Get ready for MSU's SEC and home opener with our game preview as the LSU Tigers come to Starkvegas for a top 25 matchup.
By ReidACoker Sep 11, 2015, 2:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Mississippi State vs. LSU Game Preview
Derick E.Hingle-USA TODAY Sports
davis wade stadium
Another late kickoff awaits the Mississippi State football team (1-0) as the LSU Tigers (0-0) come roaring into town for the first SEC matchup of the 2015 season.
MSU enters Week 2 fresh off a 34-16 victory over instate rival Southern Miss, while LSU had its season opener against McNeese State suspended after just two possessions.
The Tigers will be out for revenge after Dak Prescott and the Dogs embarrassed them on their home field a season ago, on the way to a 34-29 victory after a late LSU comeback.
The win was the first of three straight top 10 victories for the Bulldogs that ultimately propelled the team to a No. 1 ranking for five weeks. The loss snowballed for LSU, as they got blasted two weeks later on the road at Auburn by 34 points.
Some have called this year's game the most important one of the season for MSU. A 1-0 start in conference play would be huge with back-to-back road trips to Auburn and Texas A&M in the near future.
Saturday night will feature two top 25 teams after MSU sneaked into the AP Poll at No. 25, giving the SEC an unbelievable 10 teams in the rankings -- a new record. LSU comes in at No. 14 in the AP Poll.
Where do they rank?

Headlines to watch
First game jitters
It goes without saying both teams face advantages and disadvantages from LSU's first game cancellation. On one hand, MSU had the opportunity to shake the rust off against a weaker opponent and get back into football mode while LSU will be doing so on the road in the SEC. On the other hand, LSU rested up and watched film while State only has 2014 film on the Tigers. That's a big advantage for Les Miles' team -- who will employ a new defensive scheme -- but they also missed an opportunity to get their young quarterback quality reps. Brandon Harris, who saw limited action last year but won the starting job in the fall, will immediately be thrown into the fire. He's the x factor for the Tigers, and how he responds to a tough road environment will determine if they win or lose the game.
Battle in the trenches
Last year MSU flat out dominated the line of scrimmage on the way to 302 rushing yards -- most of which came between the tackles. LSU only managed to scratch out 89 yards on the ground. The maroon team owned the line of scrimmage for the majority of the contest, and Dak Prescott aside, that's the reason they pulled out a victory in Death Valley. That game was only a sign of things to come. LSU's defensive line did not live up to its reputation all season, and they need that back if they want to play at an elite level again. Their front seven is the key to the game. If they limit Dak's ground game and force him to throw from the pocket, it could be a long night for MSU. But if another repeat of last year happens and the front seven gets mauled at the point of attack, MSU may drop 40 points.
New defensive coordinators
Another disadvantage for State when it comes to no film on their opponent is the uncertainty that comes against facing a new Kevin Steele defense. It sounds like Steele's plan is to be versatile with his scheme, running both the 4-3 and 3-4 defenses. There will be several looks Dak and the offense will see that are different than what they're used to seeing from an LSU defense. LSU's offense will face a new scheme against Manny Diaz as well. Yeah, they have a whole season of 2010 film and a full game last week. But a few wrinkles have changed since Diaz's first stint in Starkville, and he didn't reveal too much against Southern Miss. He will bring pressure from all angles and do everything he can to force Harris into making mistakes. Both offenses have to make in game adjustments and get a feel early for what the defenses are trying to do.
Underrated receivers
The game will showcase two of the more underrated receivers in the SEC in Travin Dural (LSU) and De'Runnya Wilson (MSU). Both players put up big numbers in this game and led their respective teams in receiving yards a year ago. They've gotten some love with second and third team preseason All-SEC selections, but they're not talked about among the elite. It's as good a time as any if they want to put themselves in that spotlight. With all the focus on the QB's and running backs, Wilson and Dural have to make plays and keep the chains moving on third downs.
Heisman watch
They say that big time players make big time plays in big time games. So expect to see Dak Prescott and Leonard Fournette make a bigger impact on the game than any player on the field. State was lucky last year to face LSU before Fournette matured and got comfortable in the offense. He's an elite running back with the best combination of power and speed in college football, and the defense has to contain him at all costs. Prescott embarrassed the Tigers on their home field and made highlight reel runs that we've seen at least a billion times since. It's no secret: he has to have another monster game for his team to win, and the same can be said for Fournette.
Game plan for victory
Mississippi State: Bring the heat on Brandon Harris all night and force him to throw interceptions. Don't give up the deep ball and limit Leonard Fournette around 90 to 100 yards. Run Dak early to open up the offense and utilize play action in the second half. Take some shots down field to test a safety group that won't have one of its best players in Jalen Mills (injured). If Ashton Shumpert struggles early, give some carries to redshirt freshmen Dontavian Lee and Aeris Williams -- two secret weapons unfamiliar to LSU after limited playing time in Week 1.
LSU: Force Dak Prescott to stay in the pocket and win the game with his arm. Throw the ball early to loosen up the defense and then pound Fournette until they prove they can stop him. Keep it simple for Brandon Harris until he gets a few throws under his belt and finds a groove. Score the first touchdown to silence the cowbells early and make MSU play from behind.
Prediction: It's a defensive struggle at first and neither team gets very much momentum. The offenses find some success toward the end of the first half and the rest of the game is as entertaining as they come. Fournette and Prescott both put up big numbers, but Harris struggles in the pocket thanks to a ferocious pass rush from A.J. Jefferson and Ryan Brown. The LSU defense focuses too much on Prescott and leaves holes for Ashton Shumpert -- who is the surprise player of the game.

Once upon a time – a long time ago – we had never heard of contouring, brow shaping, body shapers, and all the other magical techniques, elixirs, potions, and practices that serve our present-day fashion and beauty routines. And we're willing to bet there isn't a woman among us who doesn't look back at old pictures of herself and cringe at the misguided sartorial mistakes that she made – the noughties weren't kind to anyone, not even celebrities. For some reason, and we can't explain it now, we used to think extremely low-cut jeans, babydoll dresses, and giant belts were the height of style. Yet, looking back, not even women like Blake Lively and Kim Kardashian looked good in them.
What were we collectively thinking? Will we someday look back on all of 2018's trends and shake our heads at our terrible judgment? That remains to be seen. However bad it all started, no one stayed stuck in a style rut for long. In fact, many celebrities seem to have blossomed into full-fledged style icons almost overnight. As a reminder of how far they've come, we're taking a look back at the style evolution of seven celebrities who have managed to change their looks more drastically than anyone else.
Posh Spice has a lot to cringe about, but Victoria Beckham is a bona fide fashion icon. How is it that someone could live a life with such a distinct split running through the middle? For one, the identity of the Spice Girls was a manufactured conceit, and Beckham was just playing along. When she went solo – able to cultivate her own identity – she made polished, poised elegance her calling card and built a fashion empire around it.
Tina Knowles – Beyoncé's mother – was the costume designer for many of the looks worn by Destiny's Child, so the early days of the popstar's career contained a lot of excess, bling, cowboy hats, denim, and other fashion fare typical of the times. However, as Beyoncé's star rose, her sartorial choices rapidly became more sophisticated. By the time she was invited to the Met Gala, designers were fighting over who would dress her. Now, she is one of the world's biggest style icons and has even collaborated on her own collection with Balmain.
She started out as a closet-organizer to the stars, which put her in the company of socialites like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, but soon, Kim Kardashian was just as famous – or infamous. She had a rough start when it came to personal style, but that was just the era of fashion that we all had to suffer through. Once she and Kanye West started dating, he started styling her look more, steering her toward clean silhouettes, clinging fabrics, athletic fits, and neutral tones.
Although Jessica Alba is naturally gorgeous, she has always possessed a bit of a tomboy streak. This is particularly evident during her early years in Hollywood, when she would hit the red carpet in baseball tees without a care in the world. Nowadays, Alba helms a billion-dollar company and has upgraded her look to include boardroom-worthy outfits and gorgeous frocks.
Rihanna also succumbed to the terrible trends of the early aughts, but she quickly found firm footing, developing her personal style along experimental lines. She has never been shy about trying designs that are different and daring, even playing an instrumental role in elevating new, emerging designers in recent years.
Blake Lively first arrived on the scene as a sun-kissed California girl, sporting twee dresses and a penchant for preppy style. However, after she was tapped to play socialite Serena van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl, she polished up her personal style for the red carpet significantly. Now, she is known for her jaw-dropping Met Gala gowns and, in 2018, practically launched the suits-on-the-red-carpet trend singlehandedly.
When you flick through the photo gallery below, you can literally see Selena Gomez grow up before your eyes. In her early days, she dressed exactly as you would expect a Nickelodeon starlette to dress, but as her fame grew, so did her confidence. She quickly shed her youthful ensembles, trading them for feminine dresses and beautiful ballgowns.


Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center has been quite a popular hospital for mega multiples lately.
The baby boom started with the Masche Sextuplets on June 11, continued on with the Wilkinson Quintuplets and now a set of quadruplets boys born yesterday.
The timing has been perfect with the entering set of multiples waiting for their predecessors to leave before making their arrival.
Rachelle Wilkinson delivered her quints just days after the Masches were safe at home and the new set of quads arrived as almost all of the quints are home. One still remains at Banner Medical Center, four are home with their parents now.
The quadruplets mom, Kelly Malone, managed to carry the babies to 34 weeks gestation.
All of the babies are doing well with A&D breathing with some assistance from C-PAP. They have not been named yet.
Kelly was in good hands during her pregnancy, her husband, Dr. Thomas Malone is an OBGYN in Columbus, GA.
Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center must be a great facility for high order multiples because both the Wilkinson's and Malones travelled there from out of state to deliver their babies.


Fiefvel is the perfect candidate for Ambassadog. She comes from an inspiring past of adoption . Like so many of us she has made Sandpoint her own, taking full advantage of the area's bounty. Her only wish is that there could be an in-town dog park for her to play frisbee while taking breaks from work. Fiefvel is a full time greeter dog for Bonner Taxi riding around kissing every new comer… like a good Ambassadog would!

Palakkad: Mata Amritanandamayi Devi has called for the need for value based education, asserting that the biggest curse of today's society is the kind of education imparted, which stands distanced from eternal values. Education is something that has to be given utmost importance at a time the world is in a mad rat race for material benefits.
Addressing the audience at Puthur Madhom in connection with the anniversary celebrations of Brahmasthana Kshetram, Mata Amritanandamayi said that innovations that spurns culture, development that ignores nature, life style overlooking health are some of the curses that have taken over society.
"Learning is augmented by humility. But today it has gone to different realms like showing irreverence to teachers, strikes to prevent educational institutions from functioning, use of drugs and other narcotics. Today it is a process by which a set of information that is in the teacher's intellect is transferred to the student's brain. Butreal education is totally different, which should include character refinement, nurturing of values and talents, commitment towards nation and society," said Mata Amritanandamayi.

Arms trafficking in Ukraine: the waltz of bloody clowns
Arms trafficking by Ukrainian gangs has made it possible to diversify stocks placed on the market at unbeatable prices in the countries of the European Union. Through an unprecedented outpouring of solidarity (especially with regard to the management of the health crisis), Europe has sent massive arms to Ukraine. Weapons that will undoubtedly end up killing Pierre, Jacques, Anne, even you or me. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
This is the boomerang effect already seen through the ridiculous imposition of "sanctions trains": Before releasing 100 million euros to equip the Ukrainian armed forces, it is hard to believe that Macron did not understand the risk that its weapons will be used to equip entities that do not care about France's interests in protecting its own population.
Since last March, the NATO and G7 countries have been massively feeding Zelensky and his clique with weapons of all kinds.
The hunger of the Kiev bloody clown is never satisfied, however.
In doing so, many of these weapons also end up in the hands of terrorist groups in Africa, fueling political instability there.
The director of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Samantha Power, indicated that Ukraine spends "the staggering amount of six billion dollars each month" on the war, this sum being provided to Zelensky by Western partners.
These are hundreds of thousands of pistols, assault rifles, sub-machine guns and grenades, and hundreds of millions of cartridges of various calibers exported to Ukraine over the past eight months. Even Kosovo Albanians had not benefited from such largess.
It can be argued that all deliveries to Ukraine are controlled by arms barons, be they Ukrainian criminal syndicates linked to Kiev oligarchs and politicians, as well as international crime.
These "warlords" are building fortunes by reselling the various systems on the black market. The latter is fed thanks to the diversion of all the models of portable arms which happen to be registered on the so-called lists of "solidarity supplies" for the Ukrainian army. In some cases, darknet traders point out that the weapons were "tested in the war against Russia".
This is in no way Russian smuggling. The operation is completely under Ukrainian control. Although the Finnish authorities have already mentioned the threat, Helsinki has been asked not to make waves.
By taking a closer look at this most lucrative market, we learn, for example, that packs of 5.45 mm NATO caliber cartridges (1,080 cartridges) are selling like hotcakes at 120 dollars apiece. The prices are convertible in all currencies. An old Kalashnikov (AK-74, AKMS) assault rifle with a barrel that fired 10,000 rounds costs barely $300. The Makarov pistol (9 mm, Soviet standard) is estimated at $400. A model F.1 grenade (prized during the Soviet era and similar to the French Alsetex LU 213) is resold for $100.
Ukrainian Kalashnikovs are sold and bought by mafia networks at prices lower than those practiced during the conflict in Serbia.
At the time, all the mafias in Europe were supplied with assault rifles through Albania. Today, it is not only AK-74s that can be bought from Ukraine. The list has been expanded and completed to the delight of buyers.
Manual bazookas are on sale starting at $500 a piece. The price of the SPG-9 grenade launcher is set at 3000 USD. A sniper rifle with NATO unification optics is available for 1200 USD. The price of a Javelin ATGM anti-tank guided missile (stolen during deliveries from the United States to the Ukrainian army) is 30,000 USD.
Among the latest Ukrainian offerings is the remotely piloted Turkish Bayraktar TB2 with 4 suspended guided munitions.
Prominent Ukrainian blogger Shariy investigated Ukraine's massive purchase of these combat drones and concluded that it was a corruption scheme involving the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.
In view of the profits at stake, we should not expect Europol, which from The Hague has been fighting against the arms market in the European Union, to launch an investigation.
By way of illustration, our readers will note with interest the screenshots (see photos below) of the correspondence exchanged between the participants in one transaction among many others.
They both have Russian names. (Dmitri Obolensky and Mikhail) and communicate in Russian (it is easier for Ukrainians to communicate in Russian). The Bayraktar system (Turkish-made drone) arouses the lust of the buyer.
"Information on this topic (sale of combat drones) appeared," writes the seller. The two individuals negotiate the price of a drone bearing the serial number 211100021 (PN-11005220100) (See photos).
Buyer Mikhail acknowledges that the product is of good quality. He offers Dmitri (presumably a Ukrainian army officer) to buy the pilot block and the missile block from him for $20,000. Dmitri demands 25,000: "Moldovans demand more" (the arms smuggling corridor from Ukraine to the EU market passes through Moldova and Romania). The parties agree to use crypto money "as usual".
The risks and threats linked to mafia wars, religious extremism and psychopaths have not disappeared from Europe after Macron and Ursula von der Leyen showed their solidarity with Zelensky.
Tens of thousands of automatic weapons, hand grenades and bazookas, tons of Semtex and TNT, were shipped to Europe through the same Albanian arms trafficking channels, via Romania. Interpol and Europol turn a blind eye.
We will all be sad and heartbroken to learn that a Ukrainian Fort 301 sniper rifle bullet shattered the fragile little hope of a president working for peace on the steps of the Élysée Palace. But beware of the boomerang effect.
If France engulfs 155 mm Caesar howitzers in the black hole of deals concluded with the banderist mafia, we should not be surprised one day to see these individuals appear in our towns and villages.
Meanwhile, dreams of democracy in Ukraine have spawned a monster in Europe.
Arnaud Develay is a lawyer specializing in international criminal law. He began his career in 2005 under the mentorship of former United States Justice Minister Ramsay Clark defending former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his companions.

Many thanks to Mr. Develay for some solid information and insight, and to Christelle for publishing this article.
May God bless and protect all of the brave people out there gathering information and setting it forth for the common folk who would otherwise be misled by the scoundrels operating the mainstream media perception management arm of the self-appointed and profiteering "elites".
God bless, protect, keep, and prosper Christelle and her work here at Donbass Insider. This is my favorite website by far, and Christelle has made it so.
God bless and protect all of my people in Russia and the Donbass.

Kay Weir says:
Yes, thank you very much for the detailed article on arms trafficking in Ukraine. There is so little honesty in western countries about
the Ukraine war that it's frightening. With their ridiculous superiority complex, western countries both governments and media, ignore reality
and are blind to bad consequences, at every level of this war which was provoked in many ways by the US.UK and NATO countries.
So the people of western countries are ill-informed by western war propaganda against Russia, that they have no idea of the consequences.
Thanks for the great effort to publish articles like this.

I get asked almost daily how I get my boys to take photos. The truth is, it takes a lot of trial and error and not everyday is going to be perfect especially if you have young kids. I will share with you some of the secret weapons I've learned over the past 7 years that I use at my photo sessions and with my own kids.
Sitting down: I have a 2.5 year old that always want to be on the move no matter what I want him to do so getting him to sit down for photos can be a challenge. What I have learned is smarties is key. I can get him to sit still for at least one shot if I give him a couple smarties to munch on. sometimes they make into the photo but HEY its real life. Giving a child something to play with like a book, toy or something from nature in the location your at can help keep a child occupied. Playing peek a boo or singing a song works great too. For older kids, you can talk about what they are into like a sport or if they have a favorite superhero let them talk to you about it, ask them questions.
Let them be little: I prefer the candids over the super posed images and letting the kids do their own thing makes them happy. Sometimes you just have to go with it. It may not be what you envisioned, but sometimes the best photos are the ones not planned.
Do things together: Get in the photo with them and do things you do together in real life. Not only does this tell a story of your real life moments and capturing a memory of you with them, but it also can help a child to feel more at ease to be photographed.
Real Life: Capture them in real life. Not every moment is perfect, but the moment may just tell the perfect true story.
Play: A child at play makes some pretty awesome photos. I love capturing my kids doing things they love to do like playing basketball or swinging. It captures them in their element and happy place… and it is a great memory to look back at what they used to do as a child.
Things of comfort: Allowing a child to have something that comforts them or they like to hold on too can really help them to cooperate for photos. Ask them to show you what they have and why they like that particular item. Having a conversation with them if they can talk can make a world a difference when taking a child's photo. Don't want the item in the photo? I will . take whatever the item is as the photographer/mom and do something silly with it like put it on my head.
and if all fails… BRIBERY is a word you must come to familiarize yourself with. Somedays if I want a photo that bad, yes I bribe with candy, cookies, and milkshakes.
The art of photographing your own kids or other kids takes practice and patience. My advice is go in with no expectations and just go with it. There are plenty of times I have found this picture perfect photo I wanted to try to do but then I go to recreate it and it ends up in disaster because the kids weren't into it. Your kids are different than others kids and like different things so don't go in with great expectations for this picture perfect photo session.
Just let them be who they are and find the things that make them happy to take photos. If you stress doing photos, They will stress too. So turn up the music, get the toys and candy out and just do it.

Removed Chesapeake Energy founder re-emerges with new venture
By Laurie Huffman | Dix Communications
Aubry McClendon, the founder of Chesapeake Energy, has a new venture/partnership up and running, and according to Stark County Commissioner Richard Regula, he is again targeting the Utica shale formation. It has been reported McClendon has raised up to $500 million for his new venture, and he is ramping up with purchases in the region. McClendon, who was forced to step down as Chesapeake's CEO in 2013, is staging what many are calling his "come back," with American Energy Partners LP.
Read: Momentum, its customers come to aid of propane business
However, Forbes Magazine stated in late 2013, McClendon will serve as manager of the partnership and will pick and choose the investment properties, but he is not the one holding the purse strings. The article also indicated American Energy Partners has raised $1.7 billion, in equity — and debt, while it has been busy buying acreage in the Utica. "The partnership currently has no assets, and it won't until it raises enough money. In this partnership, the only thing you're betting on is McClendon," the article also stated.

Even though American technology has brought the gas and oil industry to the point where enough product is available to heat 25 million homes a year, growth, growth, and more growth is still expected. Estimates by the International Energy Agency indicate by 2020, the U.S. will overtake Saudi Arabia and Russia as the world's largest producer of crude oil and natural gas. The IEA also states the U.S. could be energy independent by 2035.

In contrast to our posts of the past few days, today we go to France to take a look at Haute Couture, how it was publicized, and the start of "street style". By no means is this an exhaustive review but merely an attempt to show some of the high points.
"Fashion" as we know it today began to take form during the late 19th Century. Essentially, fashion was something that was entering the public consciousness on a scale broader than anything ever seen before. The industrial revolution played a major role in the development of fashion in a rising standard of living combined with the development of new methods of manufacturing textile goods made clothing more affordable for more people. Along with this was the rise of the middle class who now had the money and the leisure time to be able follow fashion more closely.
Where once fashion was limited to a monarch and his court, now fashion was far more defuse. Also, just as important, fashion and clothing manufacturing were developing into larger business enterprises and business concerns often drove fashion. This is similar to what we see today but only on a more limited scale with a smaller clientele.
Along with the commercialization of fashion by Couturiers such as Charles Worth, Jacques Doucet, Paul Poiret, and a host of others, was the need to more effectively market their fashions. Where word-or-mouth was sufficient, more direct methods of getting fashion styles (i.e., product) before the public were needed and thus developed advertising, fashion journals, fashion plates, and later, fashion photography.
With the development of the fashion industry and marketing, those who followed fashion wanted to see these fashions "live". The concept of the runway show as a public spectacle was still years off but other ways to show off the latest styles were employed.
Once such method was dressing up models with the latest styles and sending them to various public social gathering such as the horse races at Longchamps and in particular, the Grand Prix de Paris which was held every year in July. More than just a horse race, it was a day-long affair that provided a venue for people to see and been seen and that of course meant what they were wearing. Naturally, the press covered these events and end was result was free publicity.
Below are just a few of the examples of the styles worn at Longchamps during the period from 1900 to 1914.
The women in the above pictures are wearing versions of the lingerie dress and one can see the influence of the s-bend corset although the silhouette is somewhat muted by the fluffy layers of fabric on the dresses. These definitely fall in the 1900 – 1910 time frame, probably more towards 1902 – 1905.
c. 1908, "Les Nouvelles Merveilleuses" as dubbed by the press- these three models caused a furor at Longchamps when they arrived- these dresses, designed by Jeanne Margaine-Lacroix were considered scandalous at the time.
The above three dresses definitely got public attention, in part because they completely did away with the conventional corset while at the same time creating a skin-tight silhouette by utilizing stretch fabrics in the dresses themselves to create the form-fitting silhouette.
In 1908 Jeanne Margaine-Lacroix sent three mannequins to the Longchamp race-course clad in her form-revealing robes-tanagréennes. These corsetless dresses caused a sensation among Paris' fashionable crowd – a riot according to some newspaper reports. Worn without corsets and slit to the knee on one side over the most transparent of underskirts, their impact on the fashion world was instantaneous and resulted in major press coverage not only in Paris but around the world. In today's parlance the style immediately "went viral"….It was Margaine-Lacroix's daring vision that brought to an end the ideal of the rigidly corseted hour-glass figure, and ushered in the new, slim twentieth century silhouette.
Margaine-Lacroix is an interesting designer in her own right although she is relatively unknown today. Hopefully we'll be writing more about her in the future.
Controversy is no stranger to the world of fashion then or now and the debate over what exactly is too "revealing" still rages on.
1912, Watching the races standing on chairs. The lines on these two dresses reflect the moved towards a more sleek, upright silhouette. Goodbye s-bend!
1914, Here is an interesting design incorporating a waistcoat and cutaway coat.
Does anyone know the names of the three women Margaine-Lacroix sent to model her scandalous fashions??
Unfortunately, I've been unable to find out anything further about the models themselves, at least in English (and my French is poor, to say the least). However, one of the models went by the name "la belle Möina" and was supposedly offered a lucrative contract by the director of Moulin Rouge. It's an interesting question, to be sure and something I'll have to look into.
