John (full name: Johann Nepomuk Maria Joseph Anton Xaver Vincenz Aloys Franz de Paula Stanislaus Bernhard Paul Felix Damasus) (German: Johann; 12 December 1801 – 29 October 1873) was a King of Saxony and a member of the House of Wettin.
He was born in Dresden, the third son of Maximilian, Prince of Saxony—younger son of the Elector Frederick Christian of Saxony—by his first wife, Caroline of Bourbon, Princess of Parma.
Early life[edit]
During most of his life, John stood little chance of inheriting the Saxon Crown: he was preceded by his father and two older brothers, Frederick Augustus and Clement. However, in 1822 Clement died unmarried in Italy, and John was now only preceded in the line of succession by his older brother Frederick Augustus.
When his uncle Anton succeeded his older brother as king (1827), John became the third in line to the throne, and after his father Maximilian renounced his succession rights in 1830, John became in the second in line. John's older brother became King Frederick Augustus II in 1836; now he was the first in line of succession to the throne. The King, married twice, was childless. John remained as heir presumptive during all the reign of his brother.
King of Saxony[edit]
John became King of Saxony after the death of his brother Frederick Augustus II on 9 August 1854.
The Judiciary Organization of 1855, the extension of the railroad network, the introduction of the freedom of trade are attributed mainly to his suggestion and promotion. Under his government, came the acceptance of the French Commercial Treaty (1862) and the acknowledgment of a contract with Italy. He exerted himself under influence of his minister Friedrich Ferdinand von Beust for the Great Germany Solution (de: Großdeutsche Lösung) of the imperial arrangement (under inclusion of Austria). In 1866 Saxony fought on the Austrian side in the Austro-Prussian War. Finally, after the defeat of the Battle of Königgrätz, Saxony joined the North German Confederation and in 1871 the German Empire under the hegemony of the Kingdom of Prussia. The King died two years later, aged seventy-one.
Beyond his political work, Johann was busy with literature. Under the pseudonym Philalethes he translated to German the Dante's Divine Comedy; some parts of this work were placed in the Schloss Weesenstein. The Dresden district of Johannstadt was named after him.
Marriage and issue[edit]
In Munich on 10 November 1822 (by proxy) and again in Dresden on 21 November 1822 (in person), Johann married with the Princess Amalia of Bavaria (Amalie Auguste), daughter of King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria. They had nine children:
- Maria Auguste Fredericka Karoline Ludovike Amalie Maximiliane Franziska Nepomucena Xaveria (b. Dresden, 22 January 1827 – d. Dresden, 8 October 1857), known as Maria.

- Frederick Augustus Ernst Ferdinand Wilhelm Ludwig Anton Nepomuk Maria Baptist Xaver Vincenz (b. Dresden, 5 April 1831 – d. Schloss Weesenstein, 12 May 1847), known as Ernst.
- Frederick Augustus Georg Ludwig Wilhelm Maximilian Karl Maria Nepomuk Baptist Xaver Cyriacus Romanus (b. Pillnitz, 8 August 1832 – d. Pillnitz, 15 October 1904), King Georg of Saxony (1902).

- Anna Maria Maximiliane Stephania Karoline Johanna Luisa Xaveria Nepomucena Aloysia Benedicta, (b. Dresden, 4 January 1836 – d. Naples, 10 February 1859), known as Anna; married on 24 November 1856 to Ferdinand IV, Grand Duke of Tuscany.
- Margarete Karoline Fredericka Cecilie Auguste Amalie Josephine Elisabeth Maria Johanna (b. Dresden, 24 May 1840 – d. Monza, 15 September 1858), known as Margarete; married on 4 November 1856 to Archduke Carl Ludwig of Austria, her cousin.
- Sophie Maria Friederike Auguste Leopoldine Alexandrine Ernestine Albertine Elisabeth (b. Dresden, 15 March 1845 – d. Munich, 9 March 1867), known as Sophie; married on 11 February 1865 to Karl-Theodor, Duke in Bavaria, her cousin and brother of Empress Elisabeth of Austria.

TERP awards Vision Industries and project partners $500K to support Texas' first public hydrogen fueling station
10 December 2012
Vision Industries Corporation, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), Air Products and project partners were recently awarded $500,000 from the Texas Emission Reduction Program (TERP) partially to fund the building of the first public hydrogen fueling station in the state. The station, which is proposed to be fed from an existing hydrogen pipeline, will fuel port trucks and be publicly available for personal vehicles.
An alliance of diverse organizations, including hydrogen truck manufacturer Vision Industries, trucking company TTSI, non-profit organization Environmental Defense Fund and Air Products were awarded the funds for the new facility for hydrogen fueling infrastructure through the TERP Alternative Fueling Facilities Program (AFFP).
The facility will support new hydrogen fuel cell electric hybrid trucks being developed for use at the Port of Houston. In addition, the station offers the opportunity to provide fuel for future hydrogen equipment and vehicles used at other facilities, including warehouses and distribution facilities.
We are very happy and excited about the decision by TERP to support this first, large-scale commercial hydrogen fueling station in the world. It will support a fleet of 20 Hydrogen Class 8 trucks initially. However, since hydrogen is supplied through a pipeline, this station could ultimately supply hydrogen for up to 1,000 trucks.
—Martin Schuermann, CEO of Vision Industries
The new hydrogen facility supports the efforts of several of the project partners to reduce emissions, noise, and other environmental impacts of port truck activities. The hydrogen station will be built near the Port of Houston Authority's Bayport Container Terminal in Harris County, which is part of the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria non-attainment area for ozone, which is a harmful air pollutant. Additional benefits of this location include the presence of an existing hydrogen pipeline that is owned by Air Products, making the fuel 100% locally sourced.
By 2020, trucks fueled at the station are expected to result in a reduction of particulate matter by 46 tons, nitrogen oxides by 2,200 tons, and volatile organic compounds by 23 tons.

I think nay-sayers on hydrogen should check out the great performance of fuel cells in the outages from hurricane Sandy.
As back-up for mobile communications and in many other roles they kept working after batteries ran out, and when diesels often refused to start.
Their excellent record for firing up in this storm with just one installation having problems in contrast to diesels is due to their inherent simplicity.
Of course, some of them were SOFC cells, but many were PEM cells essentially identical to those to be used in cars.

Lost NumbersMath brain teasers require computations to solve.While walking along the river, you come upon a Countess. The Countess looks very sad, so you ask what is wrong. It seems that the Countess has lost some numbers and needs to find them. She says they are special numbers because:
1. They are all between 300 and 600. 2. The middle digit is odd and the other digits are even. 3. The sum of the digits is 13. Can you find the lost numbers for the Countess? What Next?

The company behind the shopping channels Bid and Price Drop could have its broadcast licence revoked after being found to have consistently made misleading price claims and product descriptions.
The Advertising Standards Authority has asked the broadcasting regulator Ofcom to consider statutory sanctions against the company after 27 rulings against Sit-Up were upheld for breaches of ASA regulations.
The ASA has referred the broadcaster to Ofcom following repeated breaches of the Broadcast Advertising Code. Ofcom, which has accepted the referral, also has powers to fine the company up to £250,000 or 5 per cent of revenue.
Sit-Up Ltd is the licensee for three free-to-air teleshopping channels, two of which are being referred: Bid and Price Drop. Both are shown on the Freeview, Virgin Media and Sky platforms.
Since January 2012 there have been 27 ASA rulings against Sit-Up Ltd, mostly concerning misleading pricing claims and misleading product descriptions.
The ASA said today that it was "concerned that that number of misleading ads creates an on-going and cumulative risk of financial detriment to consumers".
A spokesman said: "Despite our repeated warnings and attempts to work with Sit-Up Ltd to improve its advertising we have not seen a significant improvement in its compliance record."
ASA Chief Executive, Guy Parker said: "In a live TV auction, where presenters make high-pressure, time-limited offers, it's crucial that viewers are given accurate information. Sit-Up Ltd has been given ample opportunity to address its compliance failings but hasn't done so. Our referral to Ofcom sends a clear message that companies who don't deal fairly with consumers will face consequences."
Sit-Up Ltd said it was "disappointed" with the ASA's action and claimed to have taken steps to alleviate the previous problems. It said it would be making its case to Ofcom.
"We have made significant and continuing efforts, which have been successful, to improve our compliance performance and procedures. These include compulsory training provided to us by external experts for all relevant full-time staff and freelancers at all levels within the company," said a spokesman for Sit-Up Ltd.
"We have also implemented a process whereby all new relevant full-time staff and freelancers have to undergo a strict regulatory induction and all staff have been warned that failure to keep to the standards expected of them will result in warnings and possible disciplinary consequences."

Verizon's Windows Phone 8 Devices Hit Stores November 15
It's about time
I've been running around trying to figure the release date. One of the Verizon reps showed me the phone yesterday but could not sell them and had no idea when the date was. I was hoping VZ would get a 920 version like the 922 or something but the 822 should be enough for what i need.
I hope it lives up to the hype.
I hope it lives up to the hype.

Meet Chris P Bacon (HA). Chris was born with a defect that left him without use of his hind legs, so his owner, veterinarian Dr. Len Lucero, made him a toy wheelchair out of K'Nex!
Chris was brought into Dr Lucero's clinic by a woman who wanted to euthanize him. Len decided to bring him home.
"I remembered my son had a bunch of K'nex, and I wondered if I could make him something to walk on, so I just made a real quick wheelchair. We put him on it the next day and I was just trying to see if it would work. He didn't like it at all at first. But he started to calm down, so I started filming. He's so cute you can hardly take bad footage of him."

Publisher: Entangled: Crave
236 Pages
One touch is all it takes...
Aster Layne believes in physics, not psychics. A tarot card reading on the Ocean City Boardwalk should have been a ridiculous, just-for-fun thing. It wasn't. Aster discovers she has a very unscientific gift-with a simple touch of the cards, she can change a person's fate.
Reese Van Buren is cursed. Like the kind of old-school, centuries-old curse that runs in royal families. Every firstborn son is doomed to die on his eighteenth birthday-and Reese's is coming up fast. Bummer. He tries to distract himself from his inevitable death...only to find the one person who can save him.
Aster doesn't know that the hot Dutch guy she's just met needs her help-or that he's about to die.
But worst of all...she doesn't know that her new gift comes with dark, dark consequences that can harm everyone she loves.
Because it seemed he held the algorithmic key to solving the encrypted code locking her heart.
There are two different kinds of people: those who believe in fate and those who don't. Aster Layne falls into the later category. She knows her role in life, she has her routine with her friends and family, and most importantly, she doesn't believe in magic.
Reese Van Bruen not only believes in magic, but is also cursed by it. And not just a tiny curse, one that will kill him on his 18th birthday. Reigned to his fate, he's chosen to live out life the way that he wants to: traveling and having fun. He doesn't buy into the family belief that there's someone out there who holds the cure. That is until he meets Aster and discovers that she's a fate changer. Unfortunately Aster doesn't know this and Reese decides to "help" Aster discover her gift in order to save his life. What Reese doesn't know is that if Aster changes his fate, someone else's will also be changed.
Boy meets girl. Boy wants girl to save his life. Boy falls in love with girl. Pretty sure that you can see where this is going.
I enjoyed this one. It was definitely a new topic for me to read about. The whole idea of fate changing is an interesting new side of magic and the author mixes it with elements that we are already familiar with, mostly tarot cards. I also liked how the author portrayed Aster's confusion about her growing power and the difference between right and wrong. Playing with people's lives is not something that should be taken lightly and when Aster realizes what her fate changing can do, she begins to question the morality of what she's doing.
Magic, sexy European accents, fun locales...this was a good start to a series that I will hopefully be continuing.
I received an e-copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley.

Rita is a perfect host, always kind and helpful! And she speaks italian too, more points for her!! :D the room is nice, good for a short holiday and for who likes to spend all day around the city and be home only to sleep! the position is central, near restaurants, attractions and metro station! We were lucky because all the guests of the house were respecting the rules of the house, so it was a nice stay!
She is such a friendly person and trying to give us a number of information as soon as possible. I appreciate her efforts.
I advise you strongly a stay in Rita's flat ! He was well-situated, very close to the metro Sagrada Familia (2-3 min's walking only). The flat was clean. Rita is a person likeable and discreet. If you want to have a perfect stay you should go there ! She is also communicative :) she will explain you what you need and good plans :D
And Barcelona is just perfect !!!!!!! Rita, gracias por todo !
We had a wonderfull stay! Rita is a very kind person! The room was really clean and the location is perfect! If you want to have a great stay then you really need to stay at rita's!!
Rita has been very kindly, the house was clean and tidy. We had the key and we could come back home whenever we wanted. We really suggest going there!!!
Very dark and small room...not worth the money i paid...
The host made me a huge problem, because of refund i requested due to one person cancellation....( though i sent an email with request longer time before even my arrival)...
I felt this is impolite and not an honest person...only money orientated...
I arrange the time and day....and the host was not there on arranged time...so i had to wait long...
Overall, I DO NOT recommend this type of people and accommodation...
Rita es una encantadora anfitriona , nos hizo sentir como en casa. Además nos dió buenos consejos acerca de nuestra visita a la ciudad.
El piso está muy bien situado, cerca de la Sagrada Familia: restaurantes, supermercados y varias alternativas en cuanto al transporte.
La habitación es pequeña pero suficiente para una breve estancia en Barcelona. Igualmente, además de la habitación, disfrutas del resto de la casa.
Repetiremos si repetimos ciudad¡!
De ontmoeting met Rita was heel hartelijk. Ze is erg vriendelijk en gastvrij. Je voelt je onmiddellijk op je gemak bij haar. De ligging van het appartement is ook perfect. De kamer vonden we wel erg klein en de douche was er 1 met een gebruiksaanwijzing. Verder rustig appartement. Prima verblijf voor een paar dagen Barcelona

A Three Stooges movie? Seriously? Wow.
Dang it, there's almost never been a bad John Cusack movie, but that's some pretty crummy acting.Still, it's only a trailer, and trailers always suck. I'll probably see it.
i don't know man, i think it looks good.
That trailer looks amazing. I don't care what Scott says, this has a connection to "Alien". The aliens may not appear in this movie, but there is definitely some connection.
Total Recall trailer.http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/totalrecall/
About to pop Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy in the blu-ray based on the recommendation by houston-nat.Hope it's good!
Why did they make a second one?
The only good thing about the first one is that it starred a guy named DIETER LASER.The second one is boring, gross, and in black and white.
They're trying to make a third one, but DIETER LASER backed out because of creative differences in how the director views his character. Yes, really.

France's Credit Rating Affirmed by Fitch at AA+
Mark DeenFrance's credit rating was affirmed by Fitch Ratings on an improving budget deficit that still won't meet European Union limits.
The nation's long-term foreign- and local-currency grade was affirmed at AA+, Fitch said today in a statement. The outlook is stable, according to the rating company.
"Fitch no longer forecasts the French government will meet the EU threshold for the general government fiscal deficit of 3 percent of GDP by 2015, but any slippage will be modest," Fitch said.
Investors have largely shrugged off ratings companies' opinions, reflecting a shift to a focus on in-house analysis. Since France first lost its AAA rating with Standard & Poor's on Jan. 13, 2012, the yield on France's benchmark 10-year government bond has dropped to about 1.73 percent from 3.04 percent.
President Francois Hollande is struggling to revive an economy that has barely grown in the past two years, pushing jobless claims to a record of 3.3 million. Having failed to stem a rise in unemployment last year, Hollande is now trying to cut public spending by 50 billion euros ($67.8 billion) and to trim payroll taxes to bolster business confidence and hiring.
"Too many taxes are killing the competitiveness of our country," Prime Minister Manuel Valls said May 11 on TF1 television. "France has committed to cutting its spending by 50 billion euros. It's never been done before," he said.
For Hollande and Valls, the challenge is getting that message through to executives who have so far been reluctant to begin investing in a country with the highest tax-burden among euro area countries.
In the first quarter, French gross domestic product was unchanged, whereas economists expected growth of 0.1 percent, Bloomberg Surveys showed. Investment fell 0.9 percent, its third consecutive quarterly decline.
French Finance Minister Michel Sapin is maintaining the government's 1 percent full-year growth forecast, which if achieved will be France's best performance since 2011.
The International Monetary Fund said May 15 that Hollande's plan to cut public spending goes in the right direction but will be difficult to implement.
"If achieved, these expenditure savings would be remarkable by historic standards," the Washington-based fund said in a report on France. "Achieving the deficit objectives while delivering on the tax cut commitments leaves no room to deviate from the announced expenditure reductions."

Australia's Prime Minister Julia Gillard accused the leader of the opposition, Tony Abbott, of being "sexist" and a "misogynist" in a blistering attack during parliament Tuesday.
Abbot had called for the resignation of Speaker Peter Slipper, who is accused of propositioning his media advisor and sending a string of crude and "misogynist" text messages, which have been released by the Australian press.
But Gillard targeted Abbott's own behaviour, labelling him a hypocrite in a 15-minute speech.
"I will not be lectured about sexism or misogyny by this man. I will not," said Gillard. "Not now and not ever."
Gillard lambasted Abbott for sexist actions against her in the past, including standing next to a sign that read "ditch the witch," and calling on the prime minister to "make an honest woman of herself."
Gillard said she was "personally offended" by a number of comments by Abbot including a March 2004 statement in which he said, "abortion is the easy way out."
"If (Abbot) wants to know what misogyny looks like in modern Australia, he doesn't need a motion in the house of representatives, he needs a mirror," said Gillard.
Slipper was recruited by Gillard's party from opposition ranks last November in a move that effectively gave Gillard's administration a two-seat majority.
Slipper survived an unprecedented opposition motion to remove him by one vote, but hours later resigned.
He denied the allegations levelled against him, but did apologize for the text messages released by the press.
Gillard said Abbott himself has maintained a long friendship with Slipper, and even attended his wedding. "He is certainly in a position to speak more intimately about Slipper than I am," she said.
"What the leader of the opposition should be ashamed of is his performance in this parliament and the sexism he brings with it," said Gillard.
Gillard's minority government is currently trailing the conservative opposition in opinion polls and could be forced to hold early elections if it loses a no-confidence motion in the 150-seat chamber, according to the Associated Press.

Ok, be gentle; where will this maths level place her?
(39 Posts)DD's school will be setting them soon, think after half-term so beginning of November. There will be 3 abillity sets, plus a fourth for children who need a lot of support/SEN/ EAL etc. Where do people think a result of 4c would put her? Thankyou.
I just get tired of parents with less able children comparing their child with the rest of the cohort.
If she struggles with maths, needs a lot of support and is unsure of some of the basics, you should already know that. You should have been having those conversations with her Y6 teacher and finding out what she lacks, and working on how to support her.
She's a 4c, which is below the national average for Y6. Depending on the cohort she is moving up with, unless the majority are below the NA, then she will be in group 3 or 4. Where she will get encouragement, the correct pace, targeted work, support, scaffolding of her learning and assessments to identify and fill in the gaps. If the school she's going to know their job.
What does she find difficult about maths?
I would say the lowest group or second lowest depending on school standard. If it is the lower, that is good because they will focus a lot of support into getting her through her GCSE or whatever will be there then at a C which is what is demanded now.
Why you want to know is a perfectly valid question.
I want ds to be in the right set for him, so yes I'll be interested in which set that is come Y8 (they don't set in Y7 at ds's school) because if it's top I'll be astonished and worried and if it's bottom I'll be surprised and worried.
Depends on number of children, cohort etc. The 'expected' level at end of year 6 is 4b. Therefore your DD is slightly under the expected level.
Where she is placed will depend on how the cohort scored in the tests. But that isn't important - as Woffling said - what matters is that she reaches her full potential,
She sounds like she is doing fine though.
If its any consolation my DS is a whole level difference in literacy and maths - sometimes children just find something more difficult.
I have a DS in Yr 7 and they will also be set after half term - whereas the other secondary school in out area does it in Yr8.
As long as they review the settings every half term I wouldn't worry too much about it - it is out of your hands at the moment.
I also don't understand why you want to know this now. What difference does is make now to guess where she might be set in November? Do you think that in the remaining few weeks you can somehow boost her performance so she is in a higher set? I could understand wanting to know from your dd which set she has ended up in but I just don't know why guessing at it now will help. Surely she will end up in the set with most other children who are at approximately the same level as her and the work will be tailored to suit that level of ability.
It's also fairly impossible to say which set she would be in without having an idea of what the general intake is. For what it's worth as an example, DS2 who got all level 5s in his SATS is in group 3 of 8 for maths in Yr 7 which is probably just about right for him. I know he was around about the middle in his primary class so the more able at maths from his primary school could almost fill a set on their own. On the other hand, at another school near us a level of 4c would certainly get your daughter into the second set.
An update , she is in group three :-( but reading between the lines one of the brighter ones in that set. What shall we do to go forward now? A frank discussion with her maths teacher first?.a tutor? Get some books/ subscribe to websites to help?? Bum.
I would ask her teacher (the one who has taught her up till now) what her weaknesses are and how best to address them. If her numeracy is letting her down (times tables recall especially) then regular practice at home can help - websites like mangahigh have numeracy games for mental arithmetic. If it's more general, then hiring a maths tutor for an hour a week can make a big difference - ask the maths teacher what topics will be studied this term and the tutor can reinforce these. If she's near the top of the group then say to the teacher that she will be aiming to move up a set by the end of the year and how to best go about this.
Why the sad face, you couldn't reallyk have expected anything else considering your child is below average in Maths! And from my experience of teaching Maths in KS2 and KS3, those children who get a 4c are usually really a good Level 3 who have been coached to get enough marks to just get into Level 4.
I would get copies of the CGP Levelled assessment books, the Level 4 one first, then try the Level 5 one. http://www.cgpbooks.co.uk/pages/productDetail.asp?book=ML4W22 I would also recommend doing 4 'sums' each day to get the methods secure, one each of addition, subtraction, multiplication & division, e.g. 345+569, 3450-1234, 23x76, 182 divided by 4 etc... If it takes a child longer than about 6min to do these 4 then they need lots of extra practice to get the methods secure (and probably need to learn their tables!)
Trinity the second half of your post is helpful, so thanks, but do I really deserve the comments in the first paragraph? Yes I know she is below average at maths, and let's face it, if her years' cohort is made up of children of MNetters who are all level 5, natch, then God help her. Sorry for not doing big smiley smileys when I put that she is at a 4c but be honest, would you?
Does she know her multiplication and division facts instantly? That is very important.
I'd take her right back, and build up her confidence on basics.Not from a workbook, but with you and practical 'props' so she can see how it works and really understand.
Easy stuff, fun lots of your attention.
Used to work in secondary schools, so would guess they've been placed in a middle set? But try not to worry whatever set it is., I've seen many kids from even the lowest set get A's at Gcse... And a number from the top who don't! Your dd will do well with a supportive parent; makes a big diff
I think that some parents get far too hung up on what set their child is in and forget to stop and realise that your child has been put into that set for many valid educational reasons and you should not be upset by what label the set has, the school is doing what's best for the child. OK in a tiny fraction of cases a child ends up in the wrong set, but that's why they are not set in stone and child do move sets when teachers feel it is educationally beneficial for that particular child.
As others have said, I would work on instant recall of multiplication and division facts if she doesn't already have this. A short speed test a couple of times a week should be enough.
I think that practice is the way forward with Maths at this stage. She should know what topic she is doing at school, and the textbook will probably have some extra exercises she can do each week to consolidate those skills.
Make sure she feels able to ask if she doesn't 'get' something.

Welcome to
Henlow Church of England Academy
I am proud to welcome you to Henlow Church of England Academy and hope that the insight you gain through our website and prospectus will convince you to visit us to fully appreciate our approach to learning. We have just over 500 pupils on roll across years 5 to 8 and enjoy strong links with our feeder lower schools of All Saints, Derwent, Langford, Meppershall and Raynsford. Each year pupils also join us from a wider range of schools including children of military personnel and families wishing to continue their links with the church. Our vibrant sense of community and 'Henlow Values' really come alive on a daily basis.
Our 57 clubs a week, sporting successes, artistic opportunities, contributions to charity and engagement across our community reflects the emphasis we place on developing fully rounded individuals. Our ethos focusses on encouraging a love of learning; supporting and extending pupils across the ability range to take their next steps towards academic success. Pupils enjoy their lessons and take pride in their achievements; staff and parents appreciate the growing confidence we regularly see.
We gained an Ofsted 'Good' in 2015 and the full inspection report can be accessed via the website link opposite. I include a few key points here because I know all parents are looking for a school in which their child will be safe, happy, fulfilled and achieving their potential:
- 'The academy's work to keep pupils safe and secure is outstanding.'
- 'Pupils enjoy school and are keen to participate in the many appealing activities it offers them, including additional sporting activities.'
- 'The academy has given a high profile to improving writing and pupils' progress is above that expected nationally.'
We are proud of our exam results both at Key Stage 2 and our own progress measures for the four years pupils spend in our school. The new key measure established by the government relates to the percentage of pupils meeting age related expectations in reading, writing and maths. Henlow Academy's pupils achieved above both the local authority and the national average in 2016.

Previous Events
Symposium on the Sharing Economy
May 16–17, 2016
Thanks to all who attended the symposium! The two-day event, which included a research workshop and a public forum, brought together leaders from academia, industry, nonprofits, and government to shed light on the emerging area of the sharing economy and stimulate interdisciplinary research and collaboration. Materials from the event, including selected presentations, video recordings, and a summary report of the public forum (8.05 MB PDF), are now available. Learn More
About the Initiative
The University of Minnesota's Initiative on the Sharing Economy sheds light on the growing trend away from the exclusive ownership and consumption of resources to one of shared use and consumption. Peer-to-peer shared mobility is a particular focus. The Initiative has four broad objectives:
- To support the development of the University of Minnesota as a center for thought leadership on issues surrounding the sharing (and on-demand) economy and the study of its impact on the economy, society, and the environment.
- To cultivate a cross-disciplinary community that draws on faculty and researchers from schools and departments throughout the University.
- To encourage University-driven entrepreneurship and innovation for the sharing and on-demand economy.
- To promote engagement with industry, government, and the non-profit sector and to provide balanced analysis and guidance to policymakers.
These objectives will be achieved through:
- Research collaboration among affiliated faculty and researchers, co-advising of students, and joint pursuit of external funding.
- Discussion and dissemination of ideas through regularly offered seminars, workshops, and other external engagement events.
- Publication of research papers, reviews, and opinion pieces targeting the academic community, policymakers, industry, and the broader public.
- Undertaking the evaluation and analysis of emerging business models and technologies on the behalf of industry, government, and other organizations.
To learn more about how you might participate in the Initiative on the Sharing Economy, please contact Saif Benjaafar, firstname.lastname@example.com or Hannah Grune of the Center for Transportation Studies, firstname.lastname@example.com.

What I like to do...travel, Colorado and Oregon are my favorite places. Road trips are great, love going to the mountains there's just something about the mountain air and the beach isn't bad either. Photography is a passion. Photography and travel usually go hand in hand with me.
Who I'm looking for...funny, humor is important, life is too taken too seriously sometimes. Anyone who can make me laugh is a bonus. Sincerity and honesty because they hold everything together. Diverse, someone who isn't afraid to try something different. Adventurous spirit, someone who likes outdoor activities and is willing to just be herself.
TV: Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, Archer, Game of Thrones.
Movies: All time favorite is The Last of the Mohicans. I'll watch just about anything from comedy to drama to suspense. As long as the writing and acting are good, I'll watch it.
Music: I'll listen to basically whatever is on the radio.
Humor / Laughter
Adventure / Traveling

From the bottom.
You want the top hooks to catch the highest coil you can and the bottom hooks to catch the lowest coil they can. It takes a bit of finessing them into place before you tighten the clamp and take the ball joints loose. It is going to take a bit more manipulation after you let the lower control arm down. To pop the ball joints loose take a big hammer (I use a 2-1/2 lb machinists hammer) and rap the spindle on the flat surface beside where the stud goes through the spindle. That is on the side of the spindle beside the stud. With the cotter key out and the nut backed off several turns a couple of good square hits should pop it loose, then you can unscrew the nuts and take the spindle off. Don't hit the stud, that won't do anything but ruin the stud. A lot of folks use a picklefork to pop them loose but that all too often splits the boot on the ball joint. |
You should actually be able to slip the end of the bolt up through the shock mount on top, Lower the control arm, and then drop the spring out with the compressor attached. you will have to put it back the same way.
After you do the first side the second should be a snap. |

I captured this several weeks ago at an equestrian stable in the Dallas area, where Sasha (my nine-year-old granddaughter) took riding lessons for a week. Despite the heat, she had so much fun.
Note for my JPG friends: Following two months at my home in Dallas, I head back to Rome this Saturday. I'm going through my usual transitional mixed bag of emotions: looking forward to being with Fred and exploring more of Italy, but dreading having to say goodbye again to my daughter, son-in-law, and two granddaughters. No doubt with traveling, jetlag, and getting resettled, I'll get behind on checking out and commenting on your latest photos.

I think it's pretty clear why he has had success against Saban. Look at all the talent in LA and the talent they can get to LSU. LSU is one of the premier teams in the country these days. Any decent coach could have great success down there. IMO.

Only Wednesday and I am already losing sleep concerned with what I will cook for the game. I am leaning towards a fresh squirrel and rabbit gumbo with Andouville sausage served over popcorn rice and garlic bread.
How's that sound?
Saturday, I helped out the local club and co-judged a Q all the while thinking I wanted to go squirrel shooting with my .22
On the short ride home I called a buddy and asked him about a piece of hardwoods near his home. He told me the kids had shot all the squirrels a couple of weeks ago but I was welcomed to see if one survived. So, I was there for daybreak Sunday monring. At 7:15am I saw one grooming himself at the very top of a tree. I put the crosshairs on him and he made a big thump when he hit the ground. Then, one barked behind me at 15 yards and I nailed him too. Walked 30 yards down the tree line and saw two chasing one another. Placed the crosshair on him and pop! The other took refuge behind the tree and a few minutes later I saw it peaking at me from the backside of an oak. He too was soon on the ground and that went on till around 9am when I had my limit of eight.
Last weekend I went on a dove shoot in Pickens County, Alabama. We wouldn't be heading to the dove field until 1pm so on the drive up Friday, I called an old friend from Aliceville that met me at 8am with his three Basset Hounds. We shot two limits of rabbits by noon!
Squirrel and rabbit gumbo is whats for dinner gametime!;)
Alright, I couldn't get any takers on the ND / Oklahoma game.
I'll put up a couple slabs of KC ribs and fixings on Alabama if one of you Cajuns will put up some crawfish for a boil come next spring on your Tigers?
KC ribs? Puhlease. The ribs we do are far superior.

Embraer 170 Is Chosen By EgyptAir
The National Egyptian Carrier Order Includes Six Firm Aircraft, With Six
Sep 18, 2006, 01:00 ET from Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.
SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS, Brazil, Sept. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Embraer (NYSE: ERJ) announced that EgyptAir Holding Company has placed a firm order for six EMBRAER 170s, with options for another six aircraft of the same type. Delivery of the first aircraft is scheduled for April 2007, when EgyptAir celebrates its 75th anniversary. The EMBRAER 170 will operate under EgyptAir's newly created subsidiary, EgyptAir Express, and the aircraft will be the launch airliner in EgyptAir Express' newest fleet. The aircraft will be configured in a single class layout, comfortably seating 76 passengers with leather seats. "We particularly take pride in selecting the product that would best serve our needs. Indeed, following a very technical assessment, the EMBRAER 170 came out as the right aircraft to help launch our new subsidiary, EgyptAir Express," said Eng. Atef Abdul Hamid, Chairman of EgyptAir Holding Company, who commented on the new acquisition. "We consider Embraer a true winner, as the EMBRAER 170 perfectly responds to the new concept we are implementing within our continuing growing market." "The EMBRAER 170 will offer the highest level of comfort to our passengers when we start our operations in April 2007. And this is exactly what we want to achieve with EgyptAir Express: a high profile domestic and regional airline, which will not only serve, but will exceed our customers' expectations," said Mohamed Hassan, Chairman of EgyptAir Express. The EMBRAER 170's operations intend to serve primary and secondary destinations and integrate them within the Egyptian domestic and regional market. "Being one of the pioneering airlines in the world, EgyptAir truly honors us with this order. Above all, the airline's rigorous technical and operation evaluation to select the EMBRAER 170 makes the choice even more satisfying for Embraer," said Frederico Fleury Curado, Embraer Executive Vice-President, Airline Market. "The versatility of the E-Jets evidently proved crucial in EgyptAir's selection of the EMBRAER 170. That is an important validation of our strategy of providing airlines with flexibility to match demand and allow rapid adaptation to a market that constantly evolves. The E-Jets are new concept aircraft models designed for new concept operations."

An old friend of mine needs your support
I know a lot of you hate the Kings and some of you Sacto guys love'em. Anyway, i went to school and grew-up with Philip Ricci from elementary school in south sacramento... to highschool in Galt (yes that smelly farm town off hwy99).
He was a stand-up guy and one of the nicest most friendly people i knew. So with that said im asking you cheer him on. He's a free-agent right now which means nothing's set in stone. So all im asking is that maybe the next time you goto a Kings game get a piece of poster-board and write is name on it next to Bibby or whoever else who like. We lost touch after he went off to college and i joined the service so don't ask me for tickets! maybe Philip and I will cross paths shortly and i can hook you guys up! Hell just cheer him on because he's a local boy! http://osubeavers.ocsn.com/sports/m...i_philip00.html http://osubeavers.ocsn.com/sports/m.../100303aaa.html Thanks Eric

I wish him good luck. Last year before a preseason game I was talking to Joe Maloof asking him to keep Sean Chen (he was the top player in taiwan. I think he won the dunk contest there also. Vince Carter was judging the event), who was in the Kings training camp. I got it in writing that he wouldnt cut him. Kinda suckered him into writing it. He said he would try his best. the next day Chen got cut. Of course, this year the Kings are WAY down in depth. so maybe your friend can make it.

The preference for fixed-price contracts in the economic stimulus law could cause government agencies to pay more for some products and services, some experts say.
Transparency of Recovery.gov under scrutiny
That law, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, states that "to the maximum extent possible, contracts funded under this act shall be awarded as fixed-price contracts through the use of competitive procedures."
Fixed-price contracts cannot be adjusted to account for increases in labor or material expenses that occur after work has started. Contractors generally take on more risk in fixed-price deals, so in some cases, their prices might be higher than if they had entered into a contract with greater flexibility.
"Fixed price does not mean the cheapest price," said Alan Chvotkin, executive vice president and counsel at the Professional Services Council, a trade group for services contractors.
Congress has added similar provisions in the past. For example, the fiscal 2009 National Defense Authorization Act restricts the use of non-fixed-price contracts, such as those based on cost reimbursements or incentives.
It is unclear whether contracting officers will follow the new law's advice closely, especially because time is of the essence, said Larry Allen, president of the Coalition for Government Procurement.
"Preference for firm-fixed-price contracts involving lots of money awarded in an expedited time frame by an understaffed acquisition workforce is setting the expectation bar unrealistically high," Allen said.

The head of the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental says his goal is to drive culture change in the DOD's acquisition and innovation processes rather than make DIUx the acquisition arm of the DOD.
A plan to reorganize DHS' cybersecurity directorate that stalled in Congress last year is still on the agency's agenda.
Without confirmed subcabinet officials, President Donald Trump's executive order calling for a federal government reorganization will be managed by agency chiefs and career executives.

The new $7.5 billion SETI acquisition program aims to rapidly contract innovative technologies and solutions across the Defense Department.
Clearly these so-called "experts" don't have a clue. For years, the Government has been contracting for the best value to the Government; that's doesn't always mean the lowest price. Often the lowest price equates to lowest quality when we want something better than that. Contractors like cost plus, time & materials, or labor-hour contracts becaue the risk is on the Government and they still get paid even if they don't deliver (which also doesn't equate to the lowest price if you have to pay them more to do what they didn't complete the first time). They don't like fixed price because they have to perform to specified performance standards. This is still the best value to the Government, even if it isn't the lowest price. How do "experts" get quoted in publications when they don't know what they're talking about? Or were their quotes taken out of context? A few words taken out of an entire paragraph can totally change the context they were written in.
It would be nice if a legislator with a true contracting background were to write the "restrictions". The statement above, "Fixed-price contracts cannot be adjusted to account for increases in labor or material expenses that occur after work has started", is patently WRONG! Other laws, such as Service Contract Act, would force increases in labor when the Area Wage Determination (the MINIMUM that must be paid) is updated. Guess what?! That means modifications to all these fixed contracts! That means our small acquisition staff is further burdened with contracting actions and analyses. PUH-LEEZ! Let the Contracting Officers do their jobs and award contracts that are in the BEST INTEREST OF THE GOVERNMENT! It's ridiculous when they state that competition will now be used! HELLO!! The Govt is already REQUIRED to compete, and if they don't they must justify it in writing. Like I said, let's get someone who knows Federal contracting to write these laws. They would realize that good COs already compete and already select the best vehicle. Put the $$ into professional training of more COs so the work can get done properly!!!!!

Are Tigers done making big moves? Possibly, but don't count on it
The Tigers did not trade Doug Fister in order to get enough money to sign Joe Nathan. They are going all in for 2014. Bet the bank on it.
Detroit offseason: Trade Fielder for Kinsler | Trade Fister for three players | Sign Nathan
Thus far this offseason, the Detroit Tigers have made two pretty sizeable trades and one big signing. On one hand, they shed lots of future salary in dealing All-Star first baseman Prince Fielder while getting All-Star second baseman Ian Kinsler. Then, Monday night, the Tigers traded starting pitcher Doug Fister to the Nationals for what could end up being essentially spare parts. Tuesday morning, they signed All-Star closer Joe Nathan.
After the Fister trade, Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski insisted the club wasn't slashing payroll.
"We have the most generous owner in Major League Baseball, and perhaps in sports," Dombrowski said (detroitnews.com). "You still have to work a combination of payroll and putting your club together. And you do those within reason. We're not cutting payroll whatsoever."
After having a payroll of around $150 million last season, the Tigers entered Tuesday with $102.7 million committed to next season (Cot's Contracts), though that doesn't yet include arbitration-eligible salaries for the likes of Max Scherzer, Rick Porcello, Alex Avila and Austin Jackson. Baseball-reference.com estimates those and other additions will bring the Tigers to $142.3 million. This was before the Nathan signing, which we'll have to assume pushes the Tigers up into the same ballpark for now -- and probably a bit higher.
So after signing a closer, will the Tigers be done? It's hard to tell, but my bet is they are not.
Dombrowski's words could be interpreted as the Tigers basically getting right back to the same level as last season's payroll after they sign a closer. After that, he may be preaching more fiscal responsibility in terms of doing things "within reason." That would mean that only minor moves will highlight the rest of the offseason in terms of additions to the big-league club.
As for future spending, though, shedding the Fielder deal gave the Tigers some flexibility. They may use some of that to extend Max Scherzer's contract -- he's a free agent after next season -- though Dombrowski said that situation hasn't changed. There's also Miguel Cabrera's free agency after the 2015 season to deal with.
So, yes, it's possible the Tigers are done with big splashes this offseason.
It's also possible they aren't, and, again, this is where my bet would lie.
Remember, deals can be backloaded, even heavily. Before the Nathan signing, the Tigers only had $82.8 million committed to 2015 and $64.8 million committed to 2016. Even with huge-money deals to Scherzer and Cabrera, it might be possible to fit someone like Shin-Soo Choo in there. It also wouldn't be too surprising to see the payroll rise in the next several years.
Let us keep in mind, Tigers owner Mike Ilitch remains in "all in" mode. Dombrowski went out of his way to make the point that Ilitch is the most generous owner in baseball. The Fister move wasn't directly made to pave the way for the Nathan signing due to the Tigers having budget constraints. The two moves were unrelated and the Tigers were going to sign a closer all along.
Thinking outside the box a bit, the Tigers need another reliever for the seventh/eighth inning range, which could probably be landed by dealing Rick Porcello. Might they do that and then go all-in for Japanese phenom Masahiro Tanaka? Stranger things have happened in Detroit, like signing Fielder.
Even if they don't do something like grabbing Choo or shocking with Tanaka, let us never count out the Tigers from making a big splash in the offseason. No team in the majors more desperately wants to win a World Series as soon as possible.

| Taiwanese major could snap up HP's PC division ASUS OR ACER could be the beneficiaries of HP spinning off its PC division - if that is, a new CEO wanted to spin off its PC division. It all depends on who is appointed the new head of PC, but currently the runners and riders include the services guy at Big Blue and Ed Zander. Of course, Ed Zander is currently at Motorola, and the services guy is currently at IBM, but just think of what might have happened if Carly Fiorina had bought Price Waterhouse rather than Compaq. Shareholders would have been over the moon. The logic of Asus or Acer taking over HP's PC division is inexorable, given the recent go ahead with Lenovo and Big Blue itself. The INQUIRER understands that mainland China's decision to snap up Big Blue was taken at the highest level of the politburo, with the premier giving it the go ahead. It's a matter of face. After all, what's needed for Chinese companies is brand, and Big Blue definitely gives brand to Lenovo. Acer is known to be a brand fan too, and as both Asus and Acer have huge manufacturing operations, the fit is almost perfect. Asus is also a sleek company these days. Why, after all, is HP spending untold billions having Taiwanese companies build its PCs, when for a song it could sell the whole division off to a manufacturer hungry for brand and eager for fame? The only PC company in the world that's currently making money is the lean and mean Dell, which is huge in the States but weak in Europe and in Asia. It's probably time for Lenovo to have a crack at the market. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=21776

| If assemblying PC (they don't manufacture them) is not profitable and IBM saw that, the new HP CEO may do the same. So, in a matter of 2 to 3 years better than 50% of PC will be assembled in China where it has enough domestic consumption even if the Chinese is not exporting millions of them. Okay, what is Dell going to do?
