BATTLE OF THE SEXES (Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris)
On October 10, 2017 October 16, 2017 By Steven StraussIn Remember All the Movies, Terry, We'd Go See
What was the last sports movie that completely failed to capture the cinematic dynamism of the sport?
That's the most compelling question inspired by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris' woefully misguided Battle of the Sexes, their first outing since the smash debut Little Miss Sunshine. This writing and directing duo have no idea which story of the many on display here they're trying to tell, and none of the strands work in their own right.
Most of the film plays like a biopic of tennis legend Billy Jean King, yet it focuses on too limited of a period in her life to present a sufficiently complete portrait of her character. Plus, she's portrayed as nothing less than a saint, almost an unrelatable character type; basically her only mistake in the entire movie is cheating on her husband. But since she did so to make love for the first time with a woman – an act she almost needed to hide behind a wedding ring to maintain her public standing – it's easily and intentionally forgiven. Though I understand the noble desire to turn someone who withstood such subjugation into a hero, a truer ode to her legacy would've honored her as an actual human.
Much of the movie concerns her homosexual awakening, yet by no means does it paint a fully-satisfying picture of her first relationship with a woman, largely because Steve Carrell — turning in yet another Steve Carrell performance as Bobby Riggs — keeps awkwardly popping back into the proceedings. If the marketing is to be believed, Battle of the Sexes actually chronicles the landmark, man vs. woman matchup between Riggs and King, yet Dayton and Faris' ultimate inability to properly showcase the actual showdown torpedoes this through-line as well.
As does their failure to substantively plumb the depths of its sexism. In a time when the issue is as hot-button as ever, this aspect of the tale should've had modern resonance. Yet since the misogyny is depicted without a hint of nuance, with no effort expended to understand its roots in the characters, the moral dilemma that should engage contemporary audiences instead proves alienating from being too black-and-white.
The disempowerment of women is as old as it is pervasive, but its stripped of its impact here by relying on such conventionally over-the-top manifestations. Even if they're true to life — and they probably are —Dayton and Faris could've approached them from a fresh perspective in hopes of shedding new light on this age-old problem. Instead, the phenomenon feels ineffectively rote. Even if the figures don't deserve sympathy or even empathy, quality art transcends evil to discover the universal. Villainizing will never be as artistically interesting as understanding.
The way they handle Riggs' relationship to his abhorrent behavior on television perfectly illustrates their surface-deep excavations. Throughout the movie, characters suggest that it's all an act to drum up ratings. Though the horrid opinions of women that he expresses on the boob tube may fan the anti-female flames for listeners who already hold such beliefs, the more interest he garners in the televised event, the more attention will be paid to King, who's finally playing on the sort of sufficiently-sizable platform that her talent warrants yet her sex prevented her from attaining on her own.
This question of whether Riggs' darker, potentially advertising-minded behavior is worth the greater good he promises — maybe falsely — obviously pertains to the here and now with America's current salesman-in-chief. Yet instead of digging into this idea, it's given a rudimentary pass-over before the movie lurches to another under-drawn storyline.
Perhaps to compensate for the material's mere-shading, Emma Stone turns in a meticulously manufactured performance that ends up feeling more performative than organic, further contributing to the suffocating lack of naturalism throughout.
Highlighting Dayton and Faris' haphazard balancing act, the best performances in the movie belong to supporting turns, none of whom are given their due. Sarah Silverman keeps showing off her immense dramatic skills — always tinged with comedy, of course — yet she's basically cast off as an afterthought after the first quarter of the movie, another sign of Dayton and Faris' lack of grasp on the story they wanted to tell. Also, how dare they waste Alan Cumming in a role that's nothing more than a sassy gay comedic aside. And while we're on the topic, why would they not give the criminally-underused Chris Parnell more to do for one of his tragically-rare on-screen appearances?!
Though Little Miss Sunshine still stands as a testament to the talent of Dayton and Faris, their borderline incompetence here infects every component of Battle of the Sexes.
BEAUTIFUL TRAUMA (P!nk)

This was a rejected sequence for a bit of software coming from a software company in Japan (who are creators of, not coincidentally, Jam Sessions DS, another game in which some artwork of mine appears) called (I think) Bilingua, and it's intended to help people learn a new language. Essentially we did a whole mess of various animations for various verbs, and the software plays the animation in conjunction with the words in order to help the user associate new words with visual terms. Hey, not everything an animator does is hot action excitement.
This one I rather liked, partly because we were able to design the animation with a grand total of about five drawings, not including the way the text itself is being "written", which isn't a series of frames so much as it is one drawing (the text line) which is gradually revealed frame by frame to create the illusion of being produced by the hand and pencil. The whole text block then shifts upward and the cycle begins anew.

People cheat on each other. This much is true. Whether it's through long, drawn out emotional affairs or drunken aberrations not to be repeated, some 25 percent of men have cheated while in relationships and 13 percent of women have done the same. While those numbers aren't wildly scientific (people are probably not dying to admit they've betrayed the trust of a partner or spouse), they suggest that cheating is widespread. The reasons for stepping out are varied: some people are bored, others are trying to escape emotional abuse, still others are just falling into an affair without fully realizing it. But the reasons are often also the same: People are looking for something different. Here, Fatherly talked to five women who were looking for something different themselves.
Some of their names have been changed.
When we got married, he became very controlling and jealous. I put up with it. I wasn't fooling around — he just didn't want me to talk to any man or even go out to lunch with girlfriends. And then I fell in love with a guy I was working with, about eight years into the marriage. Our marriage was really falling apart. The affair made me feel more loved, and more confident. I didn't feel good about it at the time, but in retrospect, I don't have any regrets. I never dated the man I had the affair with, after the marriage ended. My ex-husband asked me after the divorce if I had an affair, but I didn't tell him who with. I'm single now and I'm fine with that. I'm happy to be out of the marriage. I don't think I would have done anything differently. Maybe I would have ended my marriage sooner. But I was concerned about my children.
My husband has Alzheimers. He became a totally different person. The person I lived with was not the person I got married to. I became severely depressed. There was no one but me to do anything and everything. I decided there had to be some outlet for me. I don't really even know why or when I decided, but I did at some point. I went online. I started just going on simple dates; it was fun. But then I met someone. We've been in a relationship for over a year now. I'm not dating anyone else but him now. It's helped me a lot.
Now, I'm able to take care of my husband in a much better frame of mind. He's no longer living with me, because it became to the point where I couldn't do that, but he's in town and I visit him all the time, check in on him, and do things with him. He has no memory at all. I tell him something and five minutes later he's not going to remember it. So I'm happier now. I grieved the loss of my marriage. The loss of my husband. The loss of the life that I had. The life that I thought I was going to have as I got older. I just got to the point where I knew it was gone, it wasn't coming back, and he wasn't going to get better. It took me quite a while to accept that.

Q: How can I use the ControlPaint.DrawBorder method to modifiy the border color of a ComboBox? I have a requirement to set the border color of the Combobox control.
I've searched Google for a sample code that was implementing ControlPaint.Drawborder.
What I found is not ideal. The color of the border is not modified.
In the code below, you'll see two key functions, WndProc and PaintControlBorder(), which are used to receive the underlying windows events and handle them.
The latter is used to draw the border of the control. After debugging with Visual Studio, I found that the code in the PaintControlBorder() function was executed.
Why is the border color not changing?
[ToolboxItem(true)]

        gdc = Graphics.FromHdc(hDC);
        SetStyle(ControlStyles.Selectable, false);

        {
            e.Graphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(HighlightColor), e.Bounds);

        }
        e.DrawFocusRectangle();
    }

    protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)// windows message handler
    {
        if (this.DropDownStyle == ComboBoxStyle.Simple)
        {
            base.WndProc(ref m);
            return;
        }

        switch (m.Msg)
        {
            case WM_NC_PAINT:

                base.WndProc(ref m);

                PaintControlBorder();
                break;
            default:
                base.WndProc(ref m);
                break;

    }
    private void PaintControlBorder()
    {
            ControlPaint.DrawBorder(gdc, this.ClientRectangle, Color.Orange, ButtonBorderStyle.Solid);
    }
}

A: In Windows Forms, you never store the Graphics object of a Control.
You can use the one provided by one of the Graphics methods (Paint, DrawItem etc.) or, like in this case, you create a new one when required and you dispose of it right after.
In this example, implicitly, enclosing the Graphics object creation in an using block.
This is a simple example, using ControlPaint.DrawBorder, that show how draw a border around a ComboBox control, using a Graphics object derived from the control Handle (Graphics.FromHwnd(this.Handle)) on a WM_PAINT message received overriding the control's WndProc.
The sample Custom Control exposes a public Property, BorderColor, which allows to change the color of the border.
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Security.Permissions;
using System.Windows.Forms;

Multiaxial deformation of polyethylene and polyethylene/clay nanocomposites: In situ synchrotron small angle and wide angle X-ray scattering study
Bilge Gurun, David G. Bucknall, Yonathan S. Thio, Chin Ching Teoh, Eileen Harkin-Jones
A unique in situ multiaxial deformation device has been designed and built specifically for simultaneous synchrotron small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) measurements. SAXS and WAXS patterns of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and HDPE/clay nanocomposites were measured in real time during in situ multiaxial deformation at room temperature and at 55 °C. It was observed that the morphological evolution of polyethylene is affected by the existence of clay platelets as well as the deformation temperature and strain rate. Martensitic transformation of orthorhombic into monoclinic crystal phases was observed under strain in HDPE, which is delayed and hindered in the presence of clay nanoplatelets. From the SAXS measurements, it was observed that the thickness of the interlamellar amorphous region increased with increasing strain, which is due to elongation of the amorphous chains. The increase in amorphous layer thickness is slightly higher for the nanocomposites compared to the neat polymer. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys, 2011 The effect that multiaxial deformation processes play on the changes in the structure of polymers and polymer composites is vital for helping to understand the final polymer behavior. The use of simultaneous X-ray scattering and deformation provides a powerful method to track the crystalline and larger domain structures as the polymers deforms during the multiaxial processing.

Akron School Board makes short work of July…
Akron School Board makes short work of July meeting
By Jo Anne Busing | jbusing@akronnewsreporter.com | Akron News Reorter
PUBLISHED: July 18, 2018 at 7:31 am | UPDATED: April 24, 2019 at 10:07 am
Akron School Board met Tuesday, July 10 for a work session and regular meeting. The regular meeting portion lasted a mere 15 minutes. July is always a light month for the board members and this is probably the only meeting of the year that is over in such a short time. A work session, which started at 6:30 p.m., was held before the meeting.
Technology Director Greg Clarkson said it has been slow. He has installed a fairly inexpensive anti-virus on the computers. A company came and bought all the old equipment the school had. He refurbishes the old equipment and sells or gives it to people and non-profit businesses who need computers. Clarkson has started a rotation program for the school as to when to buy new computers for teachers and staff. Business Manager Kelli McCaffrey conducted a survey of staff computer needs and gathered that the district would need to purchase 12 laptops and 10 desktop computers.
Principal Ed Lundquist said the new curriculum he ordered has been received and other equipment has also been ordered. He will also be ordering 20 new Chromebooks this year. He has organized and conducted interviews for the preschool para position and the SPED generalist.
Superintendent Brian Christensen said they will be looking at bus routes and considering adjustments and options with the routes. They have also put an ad in to sell an old bus. Dividers for rooms have been ordered and received. Christensen said they would come in handy with the WAVES program and could be used in most rooms of the school, if needed. Two engineers have been to the school. One was there to see about ideas to add on to the school if needed, and the other was there to look at the heating and cooling system to see what might be changed or added to improve the system.
Bill Dorrenbacher gave the scripture reading and prayer and then Kyle Dorrenbacher led everyone in the Pledge of Allegiance. Board President Kyle Dorrenbacher called the regular meeting to order, with only three members present.
The agenda and consent agenda were approved. The consent agenda included accepting the resignations of Tam Ray, SPED teacher, and Rod Arnold, bus driver, and the hiring of Jennifer Couch as preschool paraprofessional. There were no BOCES or CASB reports.
McCaffrey discussed the survey she had done of the staff for new computers and said that it had been determined they needed the 12 laptops and 10 desktop computers. She wanted the board to approve the purchase of them, as she had not included them in the new budget. The district has the money for them. This was moved to an action item. The superintendent's evaluation checkpoint was discussed and this was tabled for now, as the board is planning a retreat to discuss this further. The board will set a date for this once everyone checks their schedules.
In action items, the board approved classified staff and bus drivers, coaches and extra duty assignments and the purchase of the new computers. Christensen said he has received policy revision recommendations and will probably have policy revisions recommendations at the August meeting. Other items on the August agenda include the substitute teacher list, CASB regional meeting date and staff in-service activities. The next meeting will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, August 14 in the school library.

My Little Pony's Lesbian Couple
17 Jun 2019 --
"My Little Pony has always been about friendship and accepting people"
Discovery Family's My Little Pony has introduced a same-sex couple in time for Pride[/tweetit]. This introduction comes a month after the PBS children's cartoon Arthur, which features the teacher Mr. Ratburn come out as gay as well as marry a man. Alabama Public Television banned the episode after this move.
My Little Pony's Lesbian Couple[/tweetthis]
My Little Pony has been running for nearly a decade, it's almost time to bid adieu to the show as it prepares to wrap up. Despite nearly wrapping up, the ninth and final season which is close to halfway through will feature the show fostering inclusivity in new and different ways.
The episode titled The Last Crusade written by Nicole Dubuc features the introduction of the long-absent parents of the young Pegasus Scootaloo. This will excite fans as it answers a longstanding plot point which many have been wondering. In the episode, Scootaloo and her friends who call themselves the Cutie Mark Crusaders meet the current guardians of Scootaloo, Auntie Lofty and Aunt Holiday.
While it's easy to assume that the two are adult siblings who are watching over their niece, that's not the case. In the episode, it becomes clear that Lofty and Holiday aren't siblings or even in-laws, they are a lesbian couple. Writer and Producer, Michael Vogel, of My Little Pony confirmed the relationship through Twitter.
Hey hey!!! @NicoleDubuc , @joshhaber and I doin what we can to bring more EQuality to EQuestria!! #PrideMonth https://t.co/YPOvvxT3v0
— mktoon (@mktoon) June 10, 2019
While this is the couple's first appearance on the Discovery Family cartoon, it isn't their first appearance in the My Little Pony lore. The couple first appeared in the 2017 book titled Ponyville Mysteries: Riddle of the Rusty Horseshoe.
Nicole Dubuc said,"I think it's fantastic that we can show that what truly defines a family is love – that, to me, is the core of My Little Pony."
Vogel, who is openly gay, has said that My Little Pony has always been about friendship as well as acceptance of anyone different from you.
I legit teared up that a character on My Little Pony now has gay aunts, just like me!https://t.co/squCw0eGYw
— Nicolas Barriere-K (@Soranomaru) June 15, 2019
Many people have voiced their agreement over Vogel's statement and have commended the show for its inclusivity. However, some have also expressed their disapproval such as Australian conservative pundit Lyle Shelton who is one among others disapproving the show's decision.

If you can look past this free app's awkward, ugly interface, you'll find a pretty cool capability: lyrics that scroll past in time with the song. It even works with Shoutcast radio.
TuneWiki turns song lyrics into subtitles so you can read along while you listen.
If the name sounds familiar, it's because the TuneWiki social music site has been around for a while, and recently unveiled a TuneWiki plug-in for Windows Media Player.
With TuneWiki for iPhone (and iPod Touch), you choose a song from your library (using the TuneWiki interface, not the standard iPod menus), then watch the lyrics scroll past as it plays.
That's assuming, of course, the song has already been "time-synced" by another user. If not, you'll have the option of advancing the lyrics yourself so the app will know the sync points in the future.
TuneWiki also lets you stream music from countless Shoutcast radio stations, and works the same lyric-subtitling magic with most songs.
The app includes a YouTube video search option and supports both Twitter and Facebook: it can automatically update your status to show what song you're playing. It even emulates the TuneWiki site's mapping option to show you who's listening to what in various parts of the world--including yours.
In other words, it's a pretty cool app--or would be, if not for the generally atrocious interface. Browsing your song library is a slow, awkward process, in part because TuneWiki lacks the alphabet-shortcut menu on the right edge of the screen.
Meanwhile, menu options and icons aren't logically designed or organized. Most buttons don't look like buttons; it's too easy to get bounced out of the app by, say, the YouTube or download buttons because you didn't know their functions.
On the other hand, once you learn your way around, it's pretty cool--especially if you like to read lyrics while you're listening to music. The subtitling works pretty well, and it's hard to complain too much about an app that costs nothing to use.

Turtles on Their Own Time
Being a part of the Turtle Creek Chorale is akin, time-wise, to having a second job: It can be time-intensive and tiring, leaving room for little else.
Most of the Turtles have jobs and lives apart from the Chorale, of course, but considering the amount of hours spent rehearsing, preparing, and performing, it's surprising that some of the guys have time for any other endeavors on top of their already full lives. So what do Turtles do in their spare time?
"Members participate in church, sports with local leagues, and one even judges speech and debate competitions in the area," says Tri Truong, Turtle Creek Chorale's new Membership Vice President Elect. Between work, school, and his new leadership duties in the Chorale, Truong says he's pretty much strapped for time, but enjoys the fact that Turtle Creek Chorale's involvement in community events affords him the chance to be involved locally. "TCC is involved in a lot of community activities like LifeWalk and Dallas Pride that we all get together and participate in."
But Turtle interests run the gamut, according to Andre Cruz, a fourth year Turtle Creek Chorale member who likes to spend his own limited free time reading and doing creative writing. Other artistic endeavors are common, he adds. "A lot of Turtles are musicians, for instance, Jamie Rawson plays the tuba, Rickey Phoummany dances, and Nathan Jones is trying his hand at making pottery."
The list goes on, with Cruz rattling off a diverse array of other activities from DJing to acting to playwriting to making a mean barbecue. Turtle Creek Chorale athletic interests include ziplining, yoga, and even running marathons.
But where does the extra time and energy come from?
"The chorale is so diverse," Cruz says. "I think the discipline we learn in rehearsals allows us to apply the same kind of passion to other interests."

This post originally appeared on the Pure Detroit blog on September 19, 2013.
Some would call it as they saw it — an abandoned park with a mysterious concrete track in disrepair wrapped around the heart of the jungle it had become. Not a far cry from the handfuls of Detroit city parks left to the elements over the years. But Andy Didorosi saw it as a piece of city history and heritage waiting for the right crew of do-it-yourself entrepreneurs to come along and breathe life back into the track.
That's the story of the Dorais Velodrome at Outer Drive and Mound on Detroit's northeast side. This historic yet neglected oval race track was originally built by the Wolverine Bicycle Club in 1969. Over the decades, It had seen its fair share of national bike racing championships. But by 1986, the races stopped. The city generously donated it back to nature. The track was left to fend for itself season after season.
But like Detroit itself, there's always another chapter waiting to be written.
In 2010, Detroit's version of Hell's Angels on lawnmowers — the Detroit Mower Gang — rediscovered the neglected track. It inspired Didorosi, whose other automotive venture is founding and operating the Detroit Bus Company.
Didorosi decided to transform the neglected Dorais Velodrome into the Thunderdrome. A group of about 30 volunteers started cleaning up the track each Wednesday. The grass was cut. Tons of trash was picked up. The parking lot was maintained. New concrete was laid and patched up over particularly rough stretches of track. The neighbors noticed and applauded their efforts, many of them not even knowing it was there.
Racers take a turn at the Dorais Velodrome, a neglected race track brought back to life by volunteers. Photo via John Baird.
The next step was to invite the public in to share what Didorosi and his friends had helped bring back to life.
The Thunderdrome became host to a free race-oriented event that caters to gearheads of all kinds. From fixed gear bikes that track was used to and 9 classes of motorized speed demons — think cheap go-karts, mopeds, minibikes and everything in between — the park and the Dorais Velodrome were seeing a resurgence.
The first Thunderdrome event in 2011 saw about 300 spectators and 100 registered racers. By 2012, two events were held including the very first night race at the track. Over 120 racers and 1,850 spectators attended. Didorosi says the energy in the air was palpable.

The 2013 incarnation of the Thunderdrome happens this weekend on Saturday, September 21 and Sunday, September 22. To attend both days is $10. The proceeds are going towards maintaining the park and the velodrome as well as towards Camp Casey, a non-profit horseback riding program for children with cancer. Racer registration is closed.
A trio of food trucks including the Mac Shack, El Guapo and Dago Joe's will be on hand to feed frenzied race fans this weekend as well as a handful of local Michigan craft brewers like Short's, Milking It Productions, Motor City Brewing Works and Atwater Brewery.
With nearly 2,000 attendees last year, Didorosi is confident that this year's two-day event will be the biggest one yet. His goal remains to completely repair the track, which would cost about $100,000.
For more information and tickets to the Thunderdrome this weekend, visit the official website. To volunteer, follow the official Thunderdrome Facebook page for information on their weekly meetups at 6pm on Wednesdays throughout the year.

Chase Elliott hopes to follow Dale Earnhardt Jr. in another way
By Nate RyanAug 18, 2018, 2:00 PM EDT
Hendrick Motorsports
BRISTOL, Tenn. – Chase Elliott soon will inherit Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s official mantle as NASCAR's Most Popular Driver, and he hopes to eventually acquire an ancillary skill of that immense sway, too.
As the first national commercial campaign to solely feature the No. 9 Chevrolet driver for Mountain Dew rolls out during tonight's Cup race at Bristol Motor Speedway, Elliott is hoping he can channel the comfort that Earnhardt developed in front of the camera during more than two decades as a high-profile endorser and spokesman who was voted Most Popular Driver from 2003-17.
"I think that's one thing that Dale has gotten really good at it is his acting in commercials," Elliott said Friday during the taping of a NASCAR on NBC Podcast that will air next week. "He has done a really good job of just going into those situations and just not caring as much.
"That's how you have to be. If you go in there, and you're really timid, it's going to show on camera, and I'm certainly not to the level that he's at. I'm not an actor. Acting is not my favorite thing to do by any means. I think it's something I certainly would love to get better at, shooting these 30-second, 60-second commercials can help."
Though Elliott is the only driver in the new spot, he has no speaking lines, which is probably how he prefers it because he hasn't translated his low-key personality into carrying a scene.
"The best thing they can do is not have me act a whole lot," Elliott, 22, said with a laugh. "So maybe one day I'll get better at it. For now, that's what it's going to have to be.
"I really didn't have to do a whole lot of acting in this spot, which is great. Those are the kind that typically turn out the best when you don't have to put on a fake face or whatever to do it. From my end, it's very laid back, and I think people will see that."
Though his personality also can be reserved and introspective, Earnhardt has grown at ease with comedic delivery and seeming natural in off-kilter situations.
"He's done such a good job with that, it's been fun to watch," said Elliott, who worked with Earnhardt in a few commercials while driving for JR Motorsports from 2014-15. "Luckily, I've had a chance to do a couple of productions with him and kind of see how he goes about it, and I think there's something to be learned there."
The main takeaway is that being true to one's self is the easiest way to come across well because "if you go into those situations being uncomfortable, it's not going to look good on camera," Elliott said.
In the second half of his Cup career before joining NBC Sports Group as an analyst, Earnhardt took ownership of his likeness and became more assertive and selective as a brand endorser.
With an election as NASCAR's Most Popular Driver seeming a virtual lock starting this season, Elliott also would like to "have a little more say-so" in how his popularity is leveraged by sponsors in the future.
"Hopefully and that's something you can earn over time, but you can't come in demanding, 'Hey, I'm doing this, I'm not doing this,'" Elliott said. "You have to be respectful of that and understand what they want vs. what I want and try to balance the two out.
"Yeah, I think our partners have been receptive and listened, and they see the person that I am, and I'm not a real loud individual in general. So I think they see that. That does make it difficult to do commercials and things, just because it's hard to express that on camera. We've kind of found ways to do that."
During the rest of the podcast, Elliott also discussed:
–The wisdom of Georgia football coach Kirby Smart and the varying styles of sports leadership;
–The email with tips for racing Road America that he sent his father, Bill, as he prepares for his first NASCAR race in six years next weekend;
–The importance of finding another gear with the No. 9 when the playoffs begin next month.
The episode will be available Wednesday wherever you download podcasts.

Conservative Chaos as Boris Johnson Rules Himself Out of Race for PM
© REUTERS / Toby Melville
Britain Says 'Cheerio' to EU (463)
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201606301042224077-uk-conservative-brexit-johnson/
Former London Mayor Boris Johnson has once again created chaos within Britain's Conservative Party by ruling himself out of the race to become the next leader of the Conservative Party, which is already in disarray following the Brexit referendum.
Boris surprised many when he declared himself a Brexiter at the start of the referendum process, as he had been London Mayor and was known to be pro-City, which is pro-EU. So when he declared himself out, many saw it is a political ploy to put himself in Downing Street.
BREAKING: Watch the moment Boris Johnson confirmed he wouldn't run for Conservative leader https://t.co/7fKvN1LjGG https://t.co/LZwhOB8iUc
— Bloomberg (@business) June 30, 2016
After the result — taking Britain out of the EU — Prime Minister David Cameron announced his resignation, having failed to convince a deeply euroskeptic country to remain inside the union.

Michael's Memes: Tory MP Joins UK PM Race and Twitter Goes Bonkers
Johnson was immediately tipped to be the top contender to win a leadership battle. However, with just minutes before the close of nominations at midday June 30, Johnson dramatically ruled himself out.
It followed another shock announcement from Justice Secretary Michael Gove, who declared he was standing, having fought alongside Johnson to take Britain out of the EU. Gove was widely tipped to not stand, but back Johnson's challenge.
In the end, dramatically, Johnson ruled himself out of running to be the next prime minister, saying:
"Having consulted colleagues and in view of the circumstances in parliament, I have concluded that person cannot be me."
Another candidate who was a forceful voice for the UK leaving the EU is former defense secretary Liam Fox. He has called for party unity following the referendum. Finally, Andrea Leadsom, the former banker and junior minister, who also backed the Leave campaign is also standing.
'What's happening?' — yes Twitter, what is happening? #BorisJohnson #ToryLeadership pic.twitter.com/WTwQ2GZXaf
— LucindaVaughan-Steel (@Lucindavs) 30 June 2016
Home Secretary Theresa May, who backed remaining in the EU, announced she would be standing. She is a political heavyweight and is a favorite among bookkeepers. Stephen Crabb — a rising star — who backed remaining in the EU — is also standing.
So @BorisJohnson has decided not to pull out of contest. Leave vote split between him and Gove and Fox. May looking strongest
— Robert Peston (@Peston) June 30, 2016
Thus, the Conservatives have three candidates who backed leaving the EU: Gove, Fox and Leadsom, with two who backed remaining: May and Crabb. Most commentators currently think the final run-off will be between May and Gove.
Not long ago George Osborne, Boris Johnson and Theresa May were favourites to succeed the PM. Only Theresa Remains and is 8/15 at bookies
— Lord Ashcroft (@LordAshcroft) June 30, 2016
The next stage is for the Conservative MPs to have a ballot to whittle the list down to two and the final decision will be made by a countrywide poll of all Conservative Party members, with the next prime minister in place by September 9.
Can only feel Boris Johnson will now back Theresa May to beat Michael Gove. He who sticks the knife in last…..
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) June 30, 2016
May and Gove are political heavyweights and the final run-off will pit a Remain-backer against a Leave-backer. If Gove wins, he will have the popular mandate for Brexit from the referendum and the backing of his party. If May gets in, she will be in the position of being a pro-EU prime minister, making the decision on how to take forward Britain's relations with the EU.

Editor's Note: With this week's NFV (network functions virtualization) Industry Specific Group meeting in Bonn, Germany, we felt it would be a great time to kick off SDxCentral's series of interviews focusing on NFV. Expect more to come–in-depth interviews with leading SDN and NFV luminaries.
Christos Kolias is a senior research scientist at Orange Silicon Valley (a subsidiary of Orange), leading its software-defined networking (SDN) project. Christos is a founding member of the NFV group within ETSI and he is also chairing the ONF's Wireless & Mobile discussion group. He has lectured on OpenFlow, SDN and NFV at several events. He has more than 15 years of experience in networking and holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from UCLA.
SDxCentral: What excites you about NFV? What is your view on the potential impact of NFV?
Kolias: "NFV presents a fresh look at the operator's network, which was very much needed, and this is happening in the wake of software-defined networking. What I particularly find fascinating about NFV is its vision to change the landscape of the telecom/service-provider industry (and beyond — for instance, in the data centers) and the coalescence, in a way, of an ecosystem, in a very short time I must say, around this initiative, totally embracing the concept, its prospects, and the promises it can deliver.
SDxCentral: What's Orange's view of how NFV will benefit you and your customers?
SDxCentral: The NFV initiative is not a dedicated organization like the ONF. Can you describe what it is and how it is funded?
SDxCentral: You have a role within ETSI on the NFV committee — can you describe what it is?
SDxCentral: Is NFV truly complementary to SDN, or are they completely orthogonal?
SDxCentral: When do you think we'll see NFV standards coming out?
SDxCentral: What's your view of vendors that claim NFV compliance already today?
SDxCentral: What are the first functions you would expect to see virtualized?
SDxCentral: Are you already running initiatives internal to Orange around NFV? What's been the success so far?
SDxCentral: What do you see as barriers to quick adoption of NFV, and how fast do you see NFV actually being deployed in carrier networks? One to two years, three to five years, or longer?
Kolias: "Certainly the concept of NFV is very appealing and optimistic. Integration into the existing infrastructure and operations could be disruptive and hence challenging, in some cases. We are already, within ETSI NFV, working on PoCs. The interplay and/or integration with the OSS/BSS will be critical.
Looking forward, the emergence of an end-to-end architecture could significantly simplify operations. Although this effort is about virtualization (hence about software), it would be interesting also to see how silicon vendors such as Intel, ARM and also Broadcom, Marvell, Tilera, Cavium, Freescale, Netronome and others will respond to the NFV efforts — we are certainly open to new ideas and we hope the best emerge.
SDxCentral: Thank you for your time, Christos!

Q: Php include() proper Mime-types TLDR: I'm looking for a way to serve web resources (css, jpg, etc) from the filesystem that preserves mime-type.
I am creating a php wrapper that validates a user from another domain (via a one time token), creates a session and then serves files, several websites in separate directories, inside of a  otherwise in accesable directory to that user.
I have, so far, used php to handle validation and mod_rewrite to redirect all requests for anything inside of the directory through the wrapper adding the requested page as a get.
The problem is, when I open a webpage that links to other resources it runs through the wrapper for each resource and doesn't preserve the mime-type. As a result formating gets screwed up.
Does anyone have a work around or a better way to serve files from the filesystem via a php script.
Here are my Redirect rules:
<Directory /var/www/ssl/auth>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /auth
    RewriteRule ^(.*) /wrapper.php?topage=https://%{SERVER_NAME}/auth/$1
</Directory>

And This is the include: (after it's been checked that the file exists)
$path = 'https://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'/';
$abs_path=substr($_GET['topage'], strlen($path));
include ($abs_path);

Here are the errors I'm getting (using dev tools on chrome)
Resource interpreted as Stylesheet but transfered with MIME type text/html

I am creating this so apple users at my school can publish class websites (using iweb and hosted internally) that require authentication and can be accessed without signing in twice when linked from the school's main website (externally hosted).
The suits are adamant that they want it setup to cross domains.
If you have any suggestions to this particular problem or how to achieve auth. across domains let me know.
Solution
Tandu. Thanks for the help using the concepts you laid out I was able to use stack overflow to solve my problem here is the solution. I < and found how to get the mime type and then I relayed it using header() works like a charm.
$path = $proto.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'/';
$abs_path=substr($_GET['topage'], strlen($path));
$type = (get_object_vars(apache_lookup_uri("$abs_path")));
header('Content-type: '.$type['content_type']);
readfile($abs_path);

Hope this helps someone down the line.

A: Well, I'm not sure if I can answer your full question, but the problem in Chrome is that your server is sending the file as the wrong MIME type (obviously).  You need to update your server  settings to send the correct mime type for css, js, etc. files.  It is difficult to guess the mime type for css, js, etc. because they don't have the mime information stored in the file headers and instead you must guess.  You can configure apache to set the mime type based on the extension with the mime.types.

A Line of Credit is a pre-established amount of credit extended to a borrower by a lender that can be drawn upon as needed. Such loans are used to provide quick liquidity for acquisition or development of real estate, to leverage notes receivable, or other purposes subject to pre-approval by the lender. Once the line is established, it works much like a check book for accessing capital. Usually, there are loan covenants that dictate how the borrower can use the Line of Credit, and the amount spent cannot exceed the credit limit.
Lines of credit may be "secured or unsecured". Unsecured lines are supported merely by the borrowers guaranty of repayment (premised on net worth and liquidity) and are therefore more difficult and less common. "Secured lines look to specified collateral such as real estate, as a lending base. The line is constrained to a conservative percentage of the value of the collateral.
The most important advantage of a Line of Credit over a regular loan is that the borrower can draw on the Line at any time necessary and interest is only charged on the outstanding loan balance. Typically, there is a 1% annual fee for the credit facility.
The structure of the line is flexible and can be adjusted to the needs of both the borrower and the lender. Lines of credits are typically limited to 2 to 3 years.
Once the Line of Credit is exhausted, it cannot be drawn upon again until the principle is repaid. A "revolver" permits the borrower to drawdown and repay the line repeatedly over the term. This draw and repayment process may continue multiple times until the term of the Line of Credit expires or the credit limit is reached. A non-revolving line permits drawdown and repayment only once.
Line of Credit facilities are typically secured by a lien on the assets of the company, personal assets, or by real estate. Usually, real estate acquired through the use of the line will be pledged to the lender as additional collateral. Credit lines are typically full recourse to the borrowing entity and its principals.
Lines of Credit are extended to borrowers with a proven earnings track record, adequate financial ratios, and overall moderate credit risk.

When she lived at Mashava Mine in Zimbabwe, Linda Davis had a passion to share her faith in Jesus with the children of the miners. Each weekend she would set up her Sunday School classroom in the local beer hall and read Bible stories to and sing with the little ones in the hours before the tipplers arrived. When she moved to Durban, Linda was a natural choice to become "House Mother" when Jenni Wallace, pastor's wife at the then Church of the Good Shepherd, established the 'Fair Havens' babies' home in Durban North in 2004. Since then, Linda, affectionately called "Gogo" by children and staff alike at The Domino Foundation's Babies Homes, has seen almost 140 children placed with adoptive families locally and abroad. Together with Precious Thabete, she has nurtured and loved the abandoned and orphaned babies and toddlers who have found a safe haven under her care. Linda says, "Jesus' words that we shouldn't despise any of these little ones because their angels always see the face of His Father in heaven have always rung true with me. I have to respond to a child in crisis." Linda is retiring from the position where she has so faithfully served the most vulnerable in our community for the past 14 years but knows that it won't be long before she once again is holding babies in her arms and standing in the gap as "Gogo". Leader of the Babies Homes programme, Sandy Hamblin said of Linda, "She has shown unfailing love to every one of the children who has passed through the homes and has been a tireless warrior in fighting to see the best outcomes for these little ones." Linda's leaving coincides with the closing of 'Ububele', one of the two homes in the Domino Foundation's programme. Precious Thabete, who has been a stalwart co-worker with Linda since the inception of the homes and who has been "House Mother" at "Ububele", steps into the role of House Mother at 'Fair Havens'. Far from this move, which sees the programme's capacity being reduced from 12 to 6 children, being a retrogressive strep, Sandy Hamblin says that more resources will now be available to tackle the bigger advocacy issue where the challenge of bureaucracy, institutions and inadequate legal frameworks can be tackled in conjunction with groups like the National Adoption Coalition of South Africa.

Peter Valente, president of Remo Valente Real Estate and the Valente Development Corporation, says thanks to the elimination of development fees, he will soon build a multi-residential building on Ouellette Avenue near Erie Street.
Valente sees good times ahead for downtown Windsor, which already has a low vacancy rate — and falling. According to the Canada Housing and Mortgage Corporation, in October 2015 downtown Windsor's vacancy rate was 6.6 per cent, down significantly from October 2010 when the vacancy rate stood at 15.8 per cent.
Some real estate agents feel the vacancy rate has fallen even further since.
"I don't think there's much rental supply downtown right now," Valente said Wednesday. "If the city is looking to revitalize downtown the first step is new multi-family development, starting with rentals.
Valente would like to see even more incentives for developers, such as property tax breaks for new buildings.
City council on Tuesday waived development fees, which help pay for such things as roads and sewers, roughly between Peter Street to the west, Pillette Road to the east and Tecumseh Road to the south. Rebates of 25 – 75 per cent already existed in those areas, but not many builders took advantage of the reduced costs.
An 82-page report prepared by Toronto-based N. Barry Lyon Consultants Ltd., which went to council Tuesday night, noted that dilapidated housing, fewer schools, higher crime rates and lower socio-economic standing hurt Windsor's core neighbourhoods.
Unless drastic actions are taken little will change, says the report. Lower property values, higher foreclosures, and vacant properties make a large area less attractive for revitalization and new development.
Ben Klundert, past president of the Greater Windsor Home Builders' Association, said the waived fees may also encourage his company, B.K. Cornerstone Design/Build, to try developing downtown.
"Some of the areas we may be looking at are in the downtown where we could put a store-front bottom with either apartments or condos or townhomes on the upper level," he said.
Klundert said the waived fees coupled with the downtown expansion of the University of Windsor and St. Clair College makes the core a suddenly more appealing place to do business.
In 2015, the city collected $8 million in development fees. But only a fraction of that will be lost with the newly waived fees, since so few new homes and commercial spaces are built on empty lots in the centre of the city. The report predicted that eliminating the fees would cost the city up to $55,000 a year.
Building a new single detached home elsewhere in Windsor costs $22,976 in development fees. In the city core, the majority of those costs have been eliminated for the next five years, after which council will reassess the issue.
That doesn't mean there are no costs for development on vacant land, however. Development costs are broken into two categories: hard and soft. Hard costs are for roads, sewers and the like, while soft costs help pay for general government, police, fire, parks, libraries and more.
Developers must still pay soft development fees, which means $1,743 for a new single detached home built on an empty lot in the city core.
"The roads and sewers are already there," said Tony Ardovini, the city's deputy treasurer. "But somebody moving in will still use services like libraries, fire, police and parks. Most people build in green areas in the suburbs. These new incentives are only for vacant land in the core.

In addition, there are also a number of technical amendments.
This version of the New York State Power of Attorney is a fully automated document-assembly drafting system, powered by HotDocs®.
It eliminates the need for repetitive typing, cutting, and pasting, along with the risk of errors that often accompany traditional form completion.
Suggested language for permissible modifications is included within this program for ease of use.
Once entered, names are filled in throughout the form where necessary and appropriate pronouns are also pre-filled.
The finished result is provided in Microsoft Word which allows the preparer to make additional final edits as necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions are provided to assist with the user experience along with an introduction articulating basic guidance for the form.
