The Chinese telecommunications equipment giant Huawei will unveil an investment in the 'wonder material' graphene this week in a deal that will deepen scientific collaboration between Britain and China.
Xul News has learnt that Huawei will announce that it is ploughing millions of pounds into a research project being led by The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute.
The project, which will examine prospective applications of graphene to the information and communications technology sectors, will be among a series of partnerships signed during the state visit to Britain of President Xi Jinping, the Chinese President.
Sources said on Sunday that Huawei's alliance with the National Graphene Institute, which is likely to be announced on Friday, would be among the more significant deals struck during Mr Xi's five-day trip.
George Osborne, the Chancellor, has frequently used Autumn Statement and Budget announcements to commit more funding for graphene research.
Insiders said he and other ministers were likely to trumpet this week's investment as a sign of their commitment to creating a "northern powerhouse", which they will hope will alleviate some of the criticism over Government policy towards the struggling steel industry, where thousands of jobs are being shed.
A glut of cheap steel from China is among the factors which have diminished the competitiveness of UK-based steel-makers, and ministers will be expected to demonstrate that they have held meaningful talks with the Chinese delegation in the coming days.
Graphene, which is just a single atom thick, was discovered by two scientists at The University of Manchester in 2004, and has already spawned a number of independent companies focused on exploiting it commercially.
Two hundred times stronger than steel, it is eventually expected to be utilised across a wide range of industries, such as fuel cells, aeroplane wings, water purification technology and – significantly for Huawei – more flexible and durable mobile phones.
This week's collaboration will deepen Huawei's commitment to the UK, just months after it was cleared of posing a risk to national security following an audit of its operations conducted by the professional services firm EY.
Huawei is one of an emerging breed of Chinese companies which have become genuine challengers to established Western rivals, and is now the world's second-largest telecoms equipment-manufacturer.
However, it has been dogged by – consistently denied – allegations that it is a front for China's People's Liberation Army because of its founder Ren Zhengfei's past as an engineer in the country's armed forces.
The company plays an important role in the provision of the UK's critical communications infrastructure, and has partnerships with the likes of Openreach, the national broadband infrastructure network owned by BT Group, and EE, the mobile communications network operator.
Huawei has in recent years seen expansion in Australia, India and the US blocked by governments which have voiced fears that the Chinese company could be aiding cyber-attacks on technological infrastructure elsewhere in the world.
In an attempt to overcome concerns about its governance and operations, Huawei established a separate UK board of heavyweight business people, which is now headed by Lord Browne, the former BP chief executive.
It also operates a cyber-security facility in Oxfordshire which works with GCHQ, the Government intelligence agency, to ensure the integrity of the equipment it sells in Britain.
In a report commissioned by Huawei earlier this year, it said it was on track to exceed a commitment made in 2012 to invest at least £1.3bn in the UK by 2017, and that it now supported 7,400 British jobs.
Unlike most large Chinese enterprises, Huawei is entirely privately owned, with thousands of its employees its only shareholders.
A decade ago, it failed with a bid for Marconi, the struggling British manufacturer, the bulk of which was eventually subsumed into Sweden's Ericsson.
A Huawei spokesman declined to comment on its impending partnership with the National Graphene Institute.

Grade 2/3 varsity 14, Bridgewater 6

The Badgers, always forceful opponents, challenged the Raiders offense in the first half of the game.
Grade 2/3 varsity 14, Bridgewater 6
The Hingham Raiders defeated the Bridgewater Badgers 14-6 at home on Sunday with great support from the talented Hingham Cheerleaders and many fans.
The Badgers, always forceful opponents, challenged the Raiders offense in the first half of the game.
Drew Kenn, Cam Reagan, John O'Connor, Nick Johannes and Ari Kraan drove and persisted. But a touchdown by Reagan was called back for a penalty, and in the next series, Bridgewater broke through to score. Hingham prevented the extra points; the score stayed at 6-0 through the first half.
Head Coach Sean Reagan gave a motivating halftime talk that had the Raiders charged up for the second half. Following a signature Connor Stanley kick, the defense was on fire.
Tackles by Drew Kenn, Cooper Estes, Dylan Pierce and a sack by O'Connor quickly brought the offense out, and, the game was on! Reagan dazzled with a 55-yard run to even the score, with a pass completion to Kraan for the extra points. Now leading 8-6, Raiders defense got even more determined with O'Connor, Kraan and Michael Rizzo delivering successive tackles.
Not to be outdone, the offensive line cleared the way for Reagan to deliver another long run and Hingham touchdown to make it 14-6. Impressive blocking and play by Nolan Heggie, Owen Richards, Jake Steele, Liam Collins, O'Connor, Rizzo, Kenn and Estes.
Bridgewater was not done yet.
With six minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Badgers gained momentum and progressed to the 11-yard line bringing fans to the edge of their seats.
But Estes, Pierce and O'Connor were relentless on defense. With just under two minutes remaining, Hingham offense returned to the field and took the game to conclusion with Hingham hanging on for a 14-6 win.
Grade 5 varsity 26, Bridgewater 22
The Hingham Raiders, in a much anticipated Superbowl rematch, defeated the highly respected Bridgewater Badgers 26-22 at home on Sunday.
Jonathan Bearden, Will McNichols, Trevor Smith and Grant Teed represented Hingham at the toss. It was an electrifying game from the start with Bridgewater kicking long and deep to the 30-yard line. But just minutes in, running back Bearden found a hole and completed a 65-yard run to score the first touchdown of the game.
This would be one of four incredible touchdown runs by the awe-inspiring Bearden, who rushed for 227 yards in touchdowns alone, despite the entire Bridgewater defense keying on him.
Hingham's offensive line prevailed, with Chris O'Connor, Owen Reilly, Adrian Palmesano, Grant Teed, Spencer Cassell, Will McNichols and Sean Ryan making the space for Bearden and quarterback Henry Rentz to deliver throughout the game.
While Hingham had an early 14-0 lead, never underestimate a determined Bridgewater. Despite continued defensive pressure and notable tackles by Cassell, Teed, Smith, Jack Cloherty and Hugh McLaughlin, the Badgers had evened the score to 14-14 by the half. Combinations of running and pass plays showcased Bridgewater talent.
The second half began with a Clougherty kickoff, and Bridgewater started its drive on the 43-yard line. A fumble recovery by Teed brought the Hingham offense back out, and Bearden had his third touchdown run. With the score now 20-14, Bridgewater offense was charged. But tackles by O'Connor, Bearden and Cassell contained them. The next series had Hingham offense at third down and 30, when Bearden broke out for an 84-yard touchdown run and brought the score to 26-14.
Entering the fourth quarter, Bridgewater brandished a creative offense with "hook and ladder" and multiple pass plays. Ultimately, they were able to connect, and brought the score to 26-22 with just over six tense minutes remaining. On defense, the versatile Rentz's keen ability to read and react was on display with pass knockdowns, tackles, and a key interception in the last three minutes. Hingham managed the clock wisely, keeping Bridgewater on defense until the final 22 seconds.
This time it was Cassell for a critical intercept that brought the hard fought game to a close with a 26-22 victory for Hingham. This was truly a team effort, with thanks going out to the Hingham Cheerleaders for their equally energizing performance!
Grade 6 varsity 20, Marshfield 6
This game was worth the price of admission
Sunday, the 6th grade varsity Raiders faced off against the Marshfield Rams and what a game it was. Mike Hannon kicked to Marshfield to start the game at the Marshfield 43 yard line.
On the defensive line for Hingham were Brewer Barnes, Alex Dietrich, Zach Devine, Charlie Wichern, Nathaniel Bosnian, Graham Bates, Seamus Donovan, and Michael Freeman. Linebackers were Ryan Cahoon, Brendan Price and Peyton Crosby. Seamus Donovan, Eric Rubino, and Jack Maude were the corners. Bates, Henry Butterfield and Mike Hannon backed up the line at safety.
On Marshfield's first possession Hingham's Bates stripped the ball and ran to the Marshfield 18 yard line. On offense for the Raiders were Seamus Donovan, Brewer Barnes, Alex Dietrich, Zach Devine, Nathaniel Bosnian, Charlie Wichern, Ryan Cahoon and Graham Bates on the line. Marshall Terres was the QB. Eric Rubino, Mike Hannon, Peyton Crosby and Jack Maude ran the ball.
Handoffs to Crosby, Hannon, and Cahoon brought Hingham to within three yards of their first touchdown. The final give to Hannon was enough for six points with five minutes still remaining in the first quarter.
The impenetrable defensive line led by kicker Graham Bates punted to Marshfield and Michael Freeman swiftly tackled the receiver. Tackles by Price, Bosnian, Cahoon and Hannon ended Marshfield's party. Once again on offense with 2:58 remaining in the first quarter, Hingham shared the ball with Hannon, Rubino, and Cahoon. Marshfield, with two timeouts already used, managed to intercept a pass with 25 seconds remaining in the first quarter on their own five-yard line.
The short break between the quarters re-charged the Raider defense.
Tackles by Cahoon, Crosby and Maude were trumped only by Rubino's flying leap onto an opposing player twice his size to bring him down. The Hingham defense would not relinquish any yards this game. And despite a last ditch attempt by Marshfield at a run, and their third time-out, they could not convert.
Hingham took over at their own 45 yard line with 4:53 remaining in the first half. Gives to Hannon and Cahoon added a few yards but it was the 53 yard touchdown run by Cahoon and the 2-point conversion by Hannon that put the points on the board bringing the score to Hingham 14, Marshfield 0.
Hannon kicked to Marshfield with 2:48 remaining in the first half. Tackles by Price, Cahoon, Hannon and two incomplete pass attempts followed by an interception by Hingham's own Rubino ended Marshfield's turn again.
Hingham made a valiant attempt to try and capitalize on the interception with only 38 seconds remaining but time ran out in the half.
Marshfield kicked to Hingham to start the second half.
A Hingham fumble gave Marshfield another shot at the scoreboard and they managed to take it for 6 points. But Crosby was not giving up the two points and shot off the line like a bullet and clearly before anybody saw him coming.
With 7:18 remaining in the third quarter, Crosby caught the kick and added another 10 yards. Handoffs to Hannon and Crosby were successful as was the 40-yard run by Cahoon which brought the team to the Marshfield 1 yard line, but Hingham fumbled and Marshfield wanted to capitalize on it.
But being denied the touchdown brought out the best in the defense with tackles by Cahoon, Price, Rubino, Bates and Maude to end the third quarter and Marshfield's possession. Hingham started the fourth quarter on the Marshfield 47 yard line. Handoffs to Hannon, Maude and Cahoon consistently produced first downs and set up Cahoon for his 17 yard TD run with 5:06 remaining in the game to give Hingham a 20-6 lead.
Hingham's Hannon kicked to Marshfield. Several consecutive tackles by Price and Butterfield followed by a smashing sack by Brewer Barnes and a 40 yard run on an interception by Price ended the game for the undefeated 6th grade team.
Bridgewater Grade 6 JV 16, Hingham JV 6
The Hingham JV Football team faced Bridgewater on Saturday, at Lynch Field.
John Minicus received the kick and ran for 20 yards.
Starting on offense for Hingham were Britton Bienfang, Chris Sullivan, Nick Shannon, Alex Vidal, Danny Wichern, Henry Butterfield, Chris Sullivan, Jack Wanty, Will Hlidek, Wilson MacPherson and Minicus on the line. Cavanaugh reigned supreme at quarterback.
Timmy O'Brien, Jett Littlefield, Michael Donius, Max Schneider, Michael Freeman, Graham Bates and Timmy O'Brien took turns running the ball.
Handoffs to Donius, Bates and a pass attempt ended Hingham's first possession. On the defensive line were Sullivan, Wichern, Hlidek, Wanty, Vidal, Bienfang, MacPherson, Cavanaugh, Shannon and Will Thomas.
Max Schneider, O'Brien, Thomas, Henry Butterfield and Minicus were corners.
Freeman, MacPherson, Cavanaugh, Minicus and Littlefield were linebackers. Michael Donius and Graham Bates played safety.
Donius knocked down Bridgewater's first pass attempt.
Tackles by O'Brien, Freeman, Sullivan, Minicus and several team efforts were impressive but not enough to stop Bridgewater's first touchdown with 13:54 remaining in the first half.
O'Brien received the kick from Bridgewater.
A reverse from Littlefield to Donius resulted in a loss, but a pristine pass to O'Brien made up for the loss and then some.
The second pass to Butterfield was good for a first down. Cavanaugh kept the ball on the next play and ran for the first down. A handoff to Littlefield added another five yards. O'Brien ran up the middle on the next play followed by a handoff to Bates, but Bridgewater took over on downs.
Hingham's defense strutted their stuff. Littlefield, Bates, Freeman, Minicus, Butterfield and Cavanaugh all contributed dynamite tackles. Littlefield blocked the next pass attempt. But Bridgewater broke through on their next play and added 8 more points to the scoreboard giving Bridgewater a 16-0 lead
Hingham had 26 seconds to try and score before the end of the half.
Schneider received the kick.
A pass from Cavanaugh to O'Brien gave the crowd a huge thrill. Hingham called their second timeout but couldn't muster the yards needed to score before the half. Bienfang kicked to Bridgewater to start the second half. Tackles by Freeman, MacPherson, and several team efforts recovered the ball for Hingham. Hingham's next possession was eventful and exciting. Cavanaugh started the drive with a completed pass to O'Brien.
Two consecutive gives to Schneider, who drove up the middle, gave Hingham a first down.
Two additional hand-offs to Freeman and Littlefield followed by a pass to Schneider gave Hingham another first down.
Cavanaugh then successfully ran twice with the ball. Cavanaugh then handed to Bates who zigzagged down the field for another first down. A reverse from Bates to Littlefield, who ran up the middle was followed up by another pivotal run by Schneider for another gain. The next give to Schneider gave Hingham another first down as they marched down the field. Two consecutive gives to Bates, the first for five yards was followed by his touchdown run to cut the lead to 16-6.
Schneider kicked to Bridgewater.
A tackle by O'Brien was followed by a recovered fumble by Cavanaugh and Hingham took back the ball at the two-minute warning. A beautiful pass reception to Bates who ran for 40 yards wowed the crowd.
Unfortunately the clock ran out on Hingham before they could capitalize on the drive.
Fourth Grade Varsity 0, Marshfield 0
The Fourth Grade Varsity team tied a tough and talented team in Marshfield last Sunday.
The Raiders defense was disciplined and tenacious from the very first series. Defensive ends Cole Finney and Cooper Shape were challenged early on sweeps, but they held their ground and received fierce support from linebacker Owen O'Brien and cornerback Christian Julian. When the Rams tried to go up the middle, they were met by Ben Bosnian and Zach Swanson, who forced a fumble that was recovered by Linebacker Stephen Davis.
The Raiders offense had to fight hard for every yard. Running back Zack Kelleher had some long runs but could not shake free the Rams defense that would bend but not break. Unable to rely on the running game, quarterback Christian Julian turned to an air attack and completed three of his first four passes including some nice grabs by Nick Taylor and Finney. With time running out in the half, Julian hurled a Hail Mary bomb that caught everyone by surprise but just missed his target.
The third quarter featured more hard running by Kelleher and Taylor, and a great tackle by Ramanis on a kickoff, but no points for either team.
The end of the fourth quarter was very dramatic. With score tied at 0-0, the Rams started a drive at their own 20 yard line with 5 minutes left to play.
The Rams started to pound the ball up the middle and had success moving the ball down the field in small chunks. With less than a minute to play, the Raiders defense was backed up to their own goal line. This unit had not given up a touchdown all season, but the Rams were only a few feet away from breaking that record and winning the game.
The entire Eighth Grade Varsity gathered in the back of the end zone and cheered on the Fourth Graders.
In response, the Raiders mounted a clutch goal-line stand featuring great tackles by Stephen Davis, Ben Bosnian, Finney, O'Brien and Kelleher. The final score was 0-0 and the Varsity team remains undefeated.
Bridgewater 26, Fourth Grade JV 14
The Fourth Grade JV team lost a tough game against Bridgewater at Lynch Field last Saturday.
As with past games, the Raiders defense was very aggressive and defensive linemen Michael McPhail, Harrison Quillen and John Griffin were bursting into the backfield to wreak havoc.
Linebackers Joey and Dominick Iaria made several tackles and Joey recovered a fumble.
On the first offensive play, Gordon Hlidek burst out of the backfield for a 50-yard run. Sawyer Littlefield followed with a 12-yard run and then Hlidek punched the ball into the end zone to put the Raiders ahead 6-0.
Once Bridgewater got over their initial shock, they made some smart adjustments on offense. Recognizing how aggressively the Raiders were playing on defense, the Badgers started to mix up their snap counts and tricked the Raiders into jumping offside on several key plays. The Raiders defense then became a bit hesitant, which allowed the Badgers to open up some holes for their star running back who was able to score four touchdowns on long runs.
The Raiders offense made several great plays in the second half. Joseph Hunter and Michael McPhail made some big blocks up the middle and allowed running back George Egan to gain big chunks of yards on several key plays including a touchdown midway through the period. Joey Iaria made the block of the day and flattened a Badger on a successful two-point conversion.
The Raiders never gave up, fought hard until the very last play, but came up short this week losing 14-26.

Auto-updating of images paths 3.0.1 > 3.1.0
I've upgraded from 3.0.1 to 3.1.0 and now all image paths are broken.
Attention! If you upgrade from 3.0.1 to 3.1.0 you need to re-enter all images
or manage image url in the database manually. The plugins find the image folder
automatically from ver. 3.1.0.
How can i update my image urls in the database? Is there any documentation for this procedure? Why isn't this made automatically by the plugin when someone upgrades the plugin?
Thank you.

Friday at the Farm….A new Mare
Welcome to Friday at the Farm! A new weekly series that I am dedicating to all things going on around Duke Manor Farm. Every week I will share something about Duke Manor Farm and provide some insight into areas that I get asked a lot about on the blog but haven't really talked about. I am finally convinced that after 4+ years blogging, it's really okay to talk about design and donkeys on my blog. #thisismylife
This week I want to introduce you to the newest member of the Duke Manor Farm family. Manny is an 18 year old Thoroughbred. She comes to the farm as a retired mare as a result of an injury that she encountered about 10 years ago.
The adjustment
For the record I am not that experienced with large equine…like none at all. We have small equine like our donkeys and our pony-mule, Daisy. It seems like they weigh about 400 pounds. A 17 hand, 900 pound horse is a totally new ballgame. And one that I am totally enjoying but having to learn very quickly.
Getting along with others
Manny is one of the most sociable animals on the farm. She wasted no time getting acquainted to me or to her roommate Daisy. Initially Daisy was standoffish ( which she totally is at times) but Manny quickly worked her charm and they instantly became BFF's. Daisy, whom we have had now for about 6 years was actually a rescue from an abusive situation. For the longest time she would only socialize with me.
Because of Manny's leg injury, she hasn't been saddled up in some time. Manny's background is in jumping. My niece rode her for several years and was quite amazing. My niece and the horse. When Manny got injured she was retired at another nearby farm for the care that she needed. Now I feel comfortable to have her here at Duke Manor Farm. At this point we are not sure if and how she will do if she was to ride.
This is a picture of the day that she got here with my niece.
One thing I know Manny can do, is eat peppermints like nobody's business. Watch this little video to see what I mean.
I hope you enjoyed this weeks Friday at the Farm….A new Mare. I look forward to sharing another aspect of my real life funny farm with you. Let me know in a comment if there is anything specific you would like to see on Friday's at the Farm. And for daily updates on Manny and life on the farm follow me here or here.

As a therapist and divorce consultant, I've worked with hundreds of children from divorcing families. Last year at this time I posted "New Year's Resolutions for Divorced Parents," a compilation and distillation of the most common and important pearls of wisdom I'd collected over the years from kids whose parents had split. That piece was "liked," "shared," and "retweeted" more times (by a factor of 10,000) than anything I'd previously written online.
So I listened even harder in 2014 — to kids, to parents, to other divorce professionals. I curated my collection, adding new pearls and polishing old ones. This year I offer The Divorced Parents' Pledge. Let's take it, and take it to heart. It's what our children need and what they deserve.
When we tell you about the divorce, we won't try to spin it as a great adventure. There's nothing exciting about decorating your bedroom at "Mom's new place" when you feel like your family is falling apart — no matter how big the budget or how hip the neighborhood. We'll reassure you that we're all going to be ok (because we are), but we won't hide our tears while we do it.
If you repeat something bad that your other parent said about us, we won't respond in kind. Nasty retorts like "I'm the reason your mother can't afford school uniforms? Maybe she should spend her child support on you children, instead of trips to the salon!" only tighten the emotional vise.
We won't expect better behavior from you than from ourselves. If we're having a screaming match in the kitchen, it would be ludicrous to ground you for forgetting to unload the dishwasher.
You're not a carrier pigeon, so we won't ask you to convey messages between us. Or mail. Or alimony checks. Or anything else that doesn't belong to you.
When you remind us of each other, we won't react with reflexive disgust. Comments like, "Ew! You look just like your mother in those sunglasses!" or, "Please, that laugh… it's like your father is in the room!" are painful attacks on you.
We know you hate it when we don't give you a say over your own lives, and we know that the schedule we designed when you were four might not work when you're 14. So we'll listen with open minds and accommodate your wishes when we can.
If a time comes when you want to spend more time with one of us, we won't assume it means you love the other less, or are running to the more permissive parent. Your needs for closeness and distance will shift between us as you grow up — that's normal.
We won't treat you like burdensome objects to be lugged around. When we growl things at each other like, "Hey, pick-up was at two! Now I'm late for Pilates!" it makes you feel like a junky couch we left on the curb for the Salvation Army.
We won't scrub the house of evidence of each other like it's suddenly a hazmat zone. We'll duplicate photo albums so you'll have them in both places, and if you want our wedding portrait in your room we'll cheerfully supply it.
We won't criticize each other in your presence. And we'll remember that rolling our eyes counts and that you overhear about 95 percent of our phone conversations.
If you report something disturbing that happened on your other parent's watch, we won't have a conniption and run to the phone. We'll listen calmly and (if you ask) help brainstorm ways to cope. If the issue is potentially serious, we'll deal with it later — parent to parent. And we'll never let on when we're secretly psyched that it's not all paradise "over there."
You know it's hard to be a single parent, and you already feel bad about it. So we won't hit you over the head with it every time you groan about taking out the trash.
We won't regale you with horror stories about our split. You can't handle hearing about the cheating and the money shenanigans, and all that adult business.
We won't put on puppy-dog eyes and act rejected when you're missing your other parent.
If one of us didn't want the divorce, we won't make you feel guilty that your other parent loves you but not us.
It's hard to play soccer when we're on the sidelines shooting dirty looks at each other and angling to be more "in" with the other spectating parents. At a minimum, we'll be respectfully civil — but we'll aim for relaxed friendliness.
We won't trash talk each other socially; whatever we say will get back to you in a nastier form.
If you don't feel like talking on the phone, we won't sulk or accuse each other of obstructing access. And we won't push so hard for contact that staying in touch becomes more intrusive than comforting.
We'll give you plenty of time to adjust to the divorce before introducing our girlfriend or boyfriend, and won't ask you to pretend to like them (or their kids) if you don't. And we won't act as if a stepparent is the same as a parent. One isn't better or worse, they're just different.
We'll find a way to spend one-on-one time with you once in a while.
We won't complain about finances, enlist you in getting each other to cough up cash, or bemoan discrepancies in our standards of living.
We'll make important decisions jointly, and won't lobby for your allegiance when we disagree.
We won't offer to do something cool with you on your other parent's time without checking with them first. That rarely ends well.
When we buy you clothes or toys, we won't make a federal case about you keeping them at our house. If you have to track stuff that carefully, or leave it behind when you go, it won't feel like your stuff. If there's something special, like dress shoes or electronics, we'll let you know right away that we want them to stay put.
If you forget your science book or baseball glove once in a while, we'll cut you some slack. It's tough for kids to live in two places and constantly have to wonder, "What 10 things will I need next week?" To be honest, that much organizational forward thinking would be tough for us.
It's ridiculous to expect you to turn down a new iPhone. So if one of us thinks the other is trying to "buy" you, we'll take it up with them or, better yet, breathe and let it go.
We won't pay singular attention to the one of you who acts most upset. Even if you're quiet, you might be having a rough time too.
We won't grill you about time with your other parent. We know the difference between asking if you had a nice weekend and asking if you ate "crap" for dinner again.
We won't forget the profoundly unfair truth that this divorce — which you didn't choose, don't deserve and have no power to stop — has hit you hardest of all. You're the ones who have to schlep back and forth between homes, and you have the right to express outrage — free from worry that we'll become hurt, defensive or angry.
Your friends with married parents are sick of watching old family videos and hearing tales of the day they were born. Sometimes it must feel like you didn't come from anywhere. So we'll make sure to tell you fond and funny stories about how we met, fell in love, and had you. We'll compliment the good traits we still see in each other, and we'll tell you how, even if we had a magic wand, we wouldn't undo anything. Because we can't imagine a life in which we're not your parents.

Man Proposes to Girlfriend Via Vine!
STORY BY Jessica Elizabeth Pawlarczyk
Published: May 30, 2013
Curt Buthman, a business consultant from Los Angeles, used Vine this past Tuesday night to do the unthinkable… Propose to his longtime girlfriend Marsha Collier.
In his allotted 6 seconds, Buthman pleads (kind of lamely): "Marsha, I love you so much. Will you marry me please? Please?"
Her response?
"Um, uh, YES @curtbuthman - I will MARRY YOU!"
For the record, she stuck to the whole social media theme too by responding behind a computer screen via Twitter.
Because the engagement was the first one in Vine history, the clip has gone viral all over the Internet, prompting a slew of Twitter congratulatory messages, and not to mention a couple thousand new Twitter followers for the couple.
The soon-to-be husband and wife seem to love the limelight, and Collier has even promised her followers that, "Whatever we do- the wedding will be on Twitter somehow!"
That should be interesting (that is if the couple can maintain the attention of the Twittersphere for however long it takes to plan the ceremony. Sorry to be the negative, yet realistic one here.)
I don't know about you, but for me, I was kind of turned off by the whole propose-via-Vine idea. Who wants to be proposed to virtually, anyways? Not to mention, who wants a 6-second proposal? Honestly, how much can you convey in that amount of time? Call me old-fashioned, but ideally, I'd like for my proposal to be more of a conversation that actually allows my fiancé to share his feelings. Sorry Curt, but "I love you so much," is kind of a cliché and empty way of expressing the sole reason of why you want to marry your girlfriend.
What I find the most surprising about the whole situation is the fact that Marsha even said yes to such a lame, passionless proposal. Perhaps she felt pressure from the millions of people who have Internet access? Either that or she has an equally bizarre enthusiasm for social media… Which very well may be the case. Marsha is a published author who writes about social media, after all. Perhaps a Vine proposal really was the one and only way to this woman's heart.
If I may speak for the rest of the female population, however, I would like to say the following to men who are currently planning a proposal: Please do not propose through Vine. It may have worked for Curt, but chances are, it will not work for you. If you're trying to convince the love of your life to spend eternity with you, a 6-second "conversation" will simply not suffice.
Do the math: Infinity / 6 seconds is more than your brain can even comprehend… So try to put some effort into your proposal speech, and more importantly, some quality time that amounts to more than 6,000 milliseconds!
Have a topic you want covered? Let us know.

From Dann Gunn: "Hard copies of my project 'Where The Story Goes' have been ordered and will be here in something under two weeks.
You may have heard some of it here, on Soundcloud, etc. Everything has been remixed and mastered. No, I did not engage in overcompressing everything for the sake of volume.
CDs will feature full color art with 8 songs. Price is $6, plus $4 shipping. But wait, you will also receive a copy of '…losing steam', a 9 song classic dg CD from 1997. So you're looking at 17 songs on two CDs for a total of ten bucks…
Transactions will go through PayPal unless you want to send a check, I guess…if you can't stand it and want to go ahead and order, the PaylPal account is: firstname.lastname@example.com
They should be shipping out in mid April or so.

Fitter Men Live Longer
It really does pay to be fit, with the dividend being extra years of life. University of South Carolina scientists report that men who scored high in cardiovascular fitness in their 40s and stayed that way were 30% less likely to die over the next 11 years than their unfit peers. Men who improved their fitness levels fared even better, with a 40% lower risk of death from all causes. The study of 14,345 men used a treadmill and measured fitness by units called metabolic equivalents (METs), which track the amount of oxygen the body uses during physical activity. For every 1-MET improvement in fitness, risk of death from all causes dropped 15% and risk of cardiovascular death was reduced by 19%.

Over the past 12 months, we have re-engineered, the basic conventions, revealing a system that is now fully, modular and fully expandable.
With some clever engineering Absolute Filters have succeeding in a universal system from which, singular membrane skid can be sent to say a mine or water treatment site, and at any time in the near future another can be added to expand the system in just minutes, without having to change the pipe work sizes or make any major changes.
The system are sufficiently designed to accommodate electrical expansion, and with plug and play pre cabled system, valuable time on site is not wasted.
"We are excited about this new system and it's our belief that customers will benefit greatly from the updated technology where the design life of the membranes is 6 years," Les Briggs, manager for Absolute Filters, said.
"Backwash is done mostly by air, which saves on water, these new systems are about 80% more efficient than previous membrane systems.
"Clients can also choose from a varying range of micron selection starting from 0.2 microns up to 25 microns. The best thing of all is we fabricate these systems locally in Hume Canberra factory, and so technical support is always at hand."
Absolute Filters often customise to the clients' needs. Interested parties are welcome to contact Les and the team at Absolute Filters 10 Raws Cr Hume A.C.T. 2620, on 02 6260 1888.

Tips And Advice About Desserts
Being creative in the kitchen is something that many people want to be but simply can't be. However, that is a thing of the past. Because time is always an issue, chefs are always developing great recipes that are easy and less time-consuming for beginners and have incredible results at the same time.
To really succeed, it's important to invest in cake decorating books. And, this is regardless of how experienced you are or not. Authors of these books can take a difficult process and make it a lot easier, thus making it more interesting for cooks and chefs of all kinds and all levels. So, even if you have plenty of experience and plenty of recipes, you may be surprised at some of the newer recipes that are around.
After one learns how to bake and prepare desserts, it's important to learn how to decorate cake. Of course, for the beginner it can be a very daunting task. So for them, frosting should be the first step. Once it looks good, move onto the next step. Learning in the right way will give you the foundation you need to keep going further and start using all the tools that can make your desserts stand out above the rest.
Of course, you may not succeed in the beginning. Remember, to stay focused and calm and don't give up too easily. This is a talent that needs to be worked on and therefore requires experience. In order to save money with ingredients and save time, it's recommended to practice designs on surfaces other than cakes.
Anyway you look at it, through your experience, you'll end up making all kinds of desserts that won't require you to run to your favorite bakery. That's because you'll be making them all on your own.
You should always welcomed the aroma that baking leaves in a home. In fact, it is one of the most welcoming aromas that exist, making your house feel like home. If you're afraid of always having the temptation around you and are trying to stay fit through muscle growth, just show some willpower.
And, you can turn this incredible hobby into a business if you develop your skills enough. This way, you'll end up making an income from something that you absolutely love to do. Plus, people really prefer to buy products that are made with wholesome ingredients. Obviously, bakeries and other businesses simply can't offer high quality ingredients and still make a good profit. So, there is some compromise there. You never know where this hobby can lead you if you get into it.

When you get to a certain point in your fitness journey, it's inevitable that you're results are going to slow down and you will plateau unless you change up some things. Most of you know that about a month and a half ago I restarted the P90X program in hopes of getting back to where I was pre-injury. After pushing myself with the workouts and eating clean, I have finally gotten back into excellent shape again, regaining all of the muscle I had lost and losing all the body fat that I had gained. While at the Game Plan event in Chicago, Mark Briggs reminded me of the importance of adding in some isometric training with your routine. When I got home, I decided to add in some isometric exercises, and I've experienced soreness that I've never experienced before.
What is isometric training? This is when you do an exercise that involves a few seconds of static contractions of the muscles. For example, when you do curls, instead of curling up and then going back down, hold the dumbbell at the top for 3-5 seconds, and then release down. This can also involve exercises such as pushing against a wall.
Really, you can apply this to just about any exercise that you're doing in P90X. This type of training works excellent with push-ups, pull-ups, curls, shoulder exercises, etc. For example, when doing pull-ups, pull all the way up and then hold for 3-5 seconds, or even longer, and you will feel an excellent burn! Now, I don't recommend doing isometric exercises all the time. Let's take Chest & Back, for example. For the first half of the workout, focus on the regular exercises, but then do isometric exercises with each move during the second half. This will keep the muscle confusion going!
Remember, though, this is not for beginners. If you're just starting P90X, don't make any modifications to the program. Adjusting the workouts is for those who have been through at least one round of the X and have gotten into excellent shape, but looking to continue their results and avoid a plateau.
If you don't have P90X yet, click here to learn more!

The federal government is moving to repeal two pieces of union-related legislation that angered organized labour.
Labour Minister MaryAnn Mihychuk says the legislation she will introduce is a signal of a new relationship with labour after almost a decade of rocky relations under the Conservatives.
Labour unions have wanted the government to overturn a law that changed how unions can certify and decertify, known as C-525, and another that required unions to reveal details of their spending to the Canada Revenue Agency, which would publicly post the information on its website.
The Liberals neutralized the latter bill, known as C-377, in late December when the government waived requirements for unions to track spending.
Groups trying to unionize or any unions trying to decertify are still subject to the rules enacted by Bill C-525 until the new legislation passes.
The bill is assured passage in the House of Commons with a Liberal majority, but will face a stiff test from a Conservative-dominated Senate that passed the original measures.

Aliso Viejo, California (PressExposure) March 01, 2009 -- Amazon unveils the Kindle 2 Reader with Slimmer design, more storage, and text-to-speech.
Amazon continues to buck the global economic trend, maintaining consistent revenue and a healthy financial portfolio. This is due in no small part to active listening for the voice of the consumer. Amazon provides reliable, convenient, and secure online transactions. The adherence to consumer preference is evident in the technology improvements carefully selected for the Kindle 2 Reader.
At just over 1/3 inch thick and a mere 10.2 ounces, the sleek new design of the Kindle 2 is slimmer and lighter the average paperback. The display provides 16 shades of grayscale for crisp black and white clarity. Amazon opted not to use a color display in exchange for 25% longer battery life that lasts for days, thinner display, and a cool device that does not get hot in your hands or on your lap.
Even with the compact form factor, the Amazon Kindle 2 Reader is able to store an amazing 1,500 books. Downloading a new title takes less than 60 seconds and does not require connection to a PC or other device. This enables the reader to select from a catalog of more than 240,000 electronic books at Amazon and create a personal digital library on a portable device.
The assortment of books available for the Amazon Kindle 2 Reader is equally impressive. Many New York Times Bestsellers and new releases are available for less than Ten Dollars US. This enables the consumer to discover a hot new title, download it in under a minute, and read it at his or her convenience. The Amazon Kindle 2 also boasts text-to-speech technology, so the reader can listen to a book while conducting other tasks.
Many of the hottest new titles, best selling, and award winning books are now available for immediate download to the Amazon Kindle 2 Reader.

"They never sold him the brand though, did they?"
Hashknife brand - Credit: Alan Levine
The Hashknife brand originated in Weatherford, Texas, in the 1870s. The design was inspired and named after the knives used by cattle camp cooks to cut beef and vegetables into cubes to make hash.
A major advantage of using this design for a brand was that it was difficult for rustlers to superimpose another brand on top of it.

Introduction 1.2—Where It All Began
From 1996 to 2003 I taught high school English at a marvelous little school in lower Manhattan. The staff was extraordinary. The students were (mostly) motivated, interested, and—best of all—interesting.
It was the perfect place to work and teach and marvel at how wonderful kids are.
Until a few guys tried to drop a building on us.
It wasn't the day that was so bad for most of us*. Most of us didn't lose anyone. Most of us just had to get ourselves and our kids safely out of our building. Most of us, in fact, got out of there without a scratch—if you don't count 9/11-releated asthma.
What was bad for us was the aftermath.
If you've never been in a terrorist attack—and I sincerely hope you haven't—or in war (which I understand is similar, but more horrifyingly constant), you might not comprehend the many things that happen to your body and brain afterwards. We sure didn't know what we needed and neither did the NYC Board of Education. No fault on anyone's part—this was a rather *ahem* unique situation.
While our school was structurally sound, it wasn't safe to be in the general area due to air quality issues. And the school was (inside and out) completely besieged by ash from the building collapses. So. We had to have a school, right? As a consequence we were warehoused (exiled is what it felt like) in a large but student-empty-in-proportion-to-buiding-size school uptown a bit.
It should have worked.
It should have been perfect.
It didn't. It wasn't.
It was appalling—for both sides, I believe. The school that was already there was small and self-contained and unique (as was ours).
- They were inundated and overwhelmed by us in their halls, in their classrooms, in their way.
- We were traumatized, zombie-fied refugees who couldn't see or think much past our immediate needs.
And there was little external guidance for how to merge two schools in an emergency situation like this.
So the short version: what happened next?
Three girls asked me to teach them to knit.
These girls started it all.
What I learned from them and the 45 other kids who showed up to learn to knit and crochet is why I'm blogging this book and why I felt it was necessary to try to find research to support what I and other teachers saw happen when the kids started knitting.

*The actual attack from my own perspective is fictionalized in my novel Grounded, or you can read my memories of the day—and my students' writing from that morning—on my 9/11 page and my 9/11 student page.

"he loved everything, he was full of joyous love towards everything that he saw."
by Aneesha77
"When we love the body, we bind ourselves; when we love the soul, we free ourselves. It is the soul in the individual, the Supreme in each human being, that we have to love." - Sri Chinmoy
Spiritual love means giving and becoming one with everything, with humanity and divinity. This love of one microcosm for the other, translates into the higher, all encompassing love for the macrocosm, the Infinite and Supreme Being, the Brahman and his creation, the Universe.
To quote Sri Chinmoy again,
"The love that spans the universe
Is not new.
It is old,
And eternal."

Allergies & Nutrition
Dogs can suffer from both food and environmental allergies, typically characterized by chronic ear infections, itchy and stained paws, hot spots, red staining on the face or belly, an itchy body, and gastric upset. First and foremost, it's important that your vet confirms that your dog's chronic issues do stem from allergies, and not another, potentially more threatening health issue. When everything else is ruled out, managing allergies can be challenging, but not impossible. While environmental allergies can be difficult to avoid, food allergies can be dealt with easily by eliminating the food that the dog is having a reaction to. Pervasive allergic responses can also result in your dog developing allergies to other things; an allergy prompts an immune response, and when the immune system is constantly reacting to something, it can sometimes start to react to things it never did in the past, so food allergies can lead to environmental allergies, and vice versa.
Addressing a food allergy is best done through an elimination diet. Until recently, allergy testing was unreliable and costly, often resulting in frustration for the owner when results were inconclusive. Dr. Jean Dodds, the world's leading researcher on thyroid function, nutrigenomics, and now allergies, has developed a wonderfully easy and comprehensive testing system, providing a lengthy list of foods that your dog may or may not be allergic to. By visiting her site, nutriscan.org, you can complete the online application, pay the fee ($285), and they'll send you a simple kit to collect saliva from your dog which you'll send back, followed by the test results within a few short weeks. So far, next to elimination diets, this has been the most reliable test for food allergies. For many, though, the cost can be prohibitive. An elimination diet is more economical as the only associated costs are the foods you choose to use, and for many, it is still the only real way to know what your dog can tolerate. We begin this process by simplifying the diet as much as possible, usually with only one protein and one carb, and then build the diet from there (for kibble feeders, the best kibble for this is the series of Limited Ingredient diets from Natural Balance, or for commercial raw feeders, a new veterinary line of whole food, lightly processed food called Rayne is also available). The most common mistake we make in elimination diets is time. An allergy can stay in the body for up to 12 weeks and when we're making changes after just a couple of days or weeks, we may not be seeing the true results of the food test. For example, if your dog is allergic to chicken and you switch to a salmon based diet, you'll need to stay on the salmon diet (unless of course the condition worsens) for 12 weeks before you'll know if your dog is reacting to something in the new diet. Once you've passed the 12 week point and your dog is showing improvements, begin adding one new ingredient (even if in the form of a topper or a treat) every two weeks, provided there are no additional allergic reactions. Remember though, if you add a food that causes a reaction, you'll be back into that 12 week cycle. The idea being that eventually, you'll have built a list of foods that your dog tolerates well so that you can expand their diet options. Be sure that everyone who has access to your dog understands his strict diet limitations as one little tidbit fed from a friend can result in 12 weeks of waiting! Also be cautious of treats (staying within your approved ingredient list) and access to other dogs' food in multi-dog households.
TIP: most dogs will react to a food that they've had in abundance throughout their life and, for many, that begins with grains and chicken. A good starting point for those new to elimination diets is to cut out grain (not just gluten-free) and chicken first, and see how your dog improves.
Environmental allergies are typically things like pollen, grasses, trees, and other outdoor stimulants. If you believe your dog has both forms of allergy, keep in mind that an elimination diet can be very challenging to conduct when your dog may also be reacting to pollens. For those of us with dogs who have both types, elimination diets are really only reliable when done during the colder months. For many, medications like Benadryl or steroids seem to be the only option to stave off symptoms of outdoor allergies, and sometimes, they are necessary. While I'm a big fan of using as many holistic options as I can, medications have their place. If despite all your efforts, your dog's allergy symptoms are causing secondary health issues like chronic loose stool, gastric upset, chewing of their paws or skin to the point of bleeding or even aural hematomas from chronic ear infections, you may need to medicate your dog. Risk of skin infections, pain from self-harm, and even repeated surgery to deal with hematomas are all detrimental to your dog's health; therefore, often a compromise must be made to weigh the damage from medications versus the damage from these health issues. However, options are available to not only protect your dog's body from medications, but also to reduce or eliminate the need for them. Milk Thistle is a wonderful supplement to protect the liver as is Turmeric, which can also help to balance the immune system. Fish oil acts to not only promote a healthy coat, but also contains anti-inflammatory properties to help manage allergy response. Probiotics are probably the most important addition to a dog's diet when dealing with the yeast that develops in an allergy dog and it should be provided in the form of either powder or tablet (yogurt just doesn't have enough probiotic in it to provide the relief you're looking for without feeding so much dairy it upsets your dog's stomach). Probiotic should always have a wide range of bacteria strains, beyond just acidophilus, and well known brands like Omega Alpha or Kazooticals will provide just what your dog needs. Raw, local honey is also a gentle way to desensitize your dog to pollens, and if used long term, can have considerable effects. It should always be raw so that the pollens haven't been destroyed via pasteurization and should always be local so that your dog is slowly exposed to the pollens from the area where you live. Lastly, topical treatments like Apple Cider Vinegar (always organic, with 'mother', never apply to broken skin as it can burn), Colloidal Silver (don't give internally to a dog on probiotics, as it can counter-act the probiotic), Coconut Oil and Oil of Oregano are all great products for destroying yeast build up, conditioning the skin, and relieving itch.
- Because allergies are the result of the immune system's over reaction, limiting your dog's exposure to toxins is a great way of preventing or reducing allergies. If the immune system is always being challenged by toxins, it never has a chance to 'relax' and function normally. Consider eliminating scent diffusers and plug-ins in your home, avoid fabric sprays that your dog will walk/lie on and then consume through licking themselves, and switch to natural cleaning products.
- The AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) has recently changed its vaccination protocols for core vaccines to once every three years. Do some research on the science available about vaccines and speak to your vet (and perhaps get a second opinion from a holistic vet) about minimal vaccine protocols. The science available to us about canine immunology and vaccinations is far different from that which is available about humans and children, and well worth the investigation on your part.
- Choose high quality supplements. Many 'for dogs' supplements are waste product from human production and aren't required to meet the same standards. Quality companies do exist, like Omega Alpha, Ascenta, Mercola, and Purica, but in many instances, a human product can be used. I like to purchase all my dog's supplements at health food stores ~ the cost may be slightly higher but the results are considerably different versus grocery or pharmacy/cosmetic store brands, and well worth the investment.
- Keep a journal of what your dog eats, what changes you make, the season, and how your dog is seeming to feel. Working with allergies is a long-term commitment and we can easily forget what works and what doesn't. Tracking your progress (or lack thereof) can make life much easier and avoid duplication of trial and error.

As the senior population grows, so will the number of complaints against skilled nursing facilities.
Enter the Long-Term Care Ombudsman program through Community Connect in Riverside.
The program is a free and confidential service in which community volunteers visit with seniors to ensure that they have proper food, care and living conditions. They also objectively investigate and resolve allegations of neglect and abuse.
The organization is responsible for about 500 residential and skilled nursing facilities across Riverside County, which equates to about 9,000 beds.
Last year, the ombudsman program made 7,500 regular visits to skilled nursing facilities, said Marie Davis, Community Connect CEO. On average, there are 1,500 complaints a year; all are investigated and resolved.
This year, the program received additional funding through the Riverside Office on Aging to hire a volunteer coordinator focused on building and increasing a volunteer workforce.
Many of the volunteers are those looking for meaningful volunteer work in their retirement. The program also has attracted college students interested in gerontology, human services and social work.
"You hear people all the time say, 'I want to make a difference in my community and in my world,'" Davis said. "Well, come make a difference here."
Community Connect since 1966 has been pursuing a mission of helping residents in need connect with the community services that can help them.
The organization touches many aspects of social service and community support, including volunteerism, housing, long-term senior care, transportation, community service and professional development. Its emphasis is on providing services and referrals to the truly needy.
Last year, the organization provided resources and information to 55,000 people. They also assisted with 7,000 suicide prevention crisis calls.
Community Connect as an organization, as well as the Long-Term Care Ombudsman programming specifically, also need assistance with funding. About 75 percent of their budget comes from county contracts, but they still have funding shortfalls and challenges in building infrastructure.
"We especially need help funding IT for our call center," Davis said. "A lot of our contracts don't cover the cost for IT upgrades, administration or indirect costs. Without a diverse revenue stream, we have a gap and challenges."
Davis hopes more of the community will become involved with Community Connect and have the chance to see that they don't just serve numbers but people.
"Yes, we serve X amount of seniors or X amount of veterans, but if you take off the labels it changes the way you see the issues," Davis said. "Those 1,500 complaints? That's someone's mother, grandmother, sister or aunt. That's not just a senior; it's a person who belongs or belonged to someone. That's who we're helping."

Stocks to Watch: Apple, Intel and More
By Corrie Driebusch and Caitlin Nish
Stocks to watch this morning include Apple, Intel and more.
Apple Inc.'s fiscal fourth-quarter earnings surged 54% but missed expectations as sales of the company's signature smartphone fell short of many projections. The company's shares fell 5.2% in premarket trading to $400.19.
Intel's third-quarter profit rose a bigger-than-expected 17% as strong sales of its notebook computer chips drove earnings. Shares rose 3.5% to $24.24 premarket, as the company predicted an upbeat fourth-quarter revenue.
Abbott Laboratories climbed 8% to $56.65 premarket as it said it plans to split into two publicly traded companies, separating its medical products and research-based pharmaceuticals operations, as it disclosed third-quarter earnings dropped 66% on restructuring charges. Results still beat expectations.


text: This article pretty much explains the Matrix addition to DJI's offerings. I assume based on this that the Matrix-100 is just the first in this family. Key quote: "How will DJI keep its drone hardware business from being commoditized by cheap knockoffs? By fostering a drone operation software developer ecosystem with a new $75 million growth equity investment from Accel Partners. DJI may build variations of its drones for agriculture, oil & gas, mining, and other commercial tasks. But to make sure its drones can handle a much wider variety of use cases, it wants to invite developers to create software to customize its drones for niche use cases. The DJI platform could keep customers locked in to it drones rather than going with whatever's cheapest." http://techcrunch.com/2015/05/06/dji-drone-platform/
