Microsoft Corp. disclosed new details of a plan to work with a Chinese partner to accelerate adoption of the Windows 10 operating system introduced last summer.

The company late Wednesday said it will set up a jointly owned entity with China Electronics Technology Group Corp., or CETC, a state-owned company that provides technology for Chinese military and civilian use. The venture will extend a relationship announced with CETC in September, Microsoft said.

That venture, tentatively called C&M Information Technologies, will be based in Beijing and will license, deploy, manage and provide technical support for Windows 10 for government agencies and government-owned institutions, said Yusuf Mehdi, a corporate vice president in Microsoft’s Window and devices group, in a blog post released to coincide with a news conference in Beijing.

If I was to go unnoticed and given an invisible cloak for a day, a good deed I would try to do is help out a person who needs it most, like a homeless man, or a small child who does not have what others might have. I would do this deed because if you see someone struggling in life, you should at least try and help them in any way shape or form. Even if its a very simple deed like having a conversation with that person or offering to buy them food, But if you were to go unnoticed, and try to preform a good deed, this might be more of a challenge.

This might be a challenge because you cannot exactly offer to take someone for food, or have a friendly conversation while your invisible because you might spook the person who is struggling. A good deed I would try and accomplish would be to try and give them a decent amount of food or a decent amount of money to try and get them through the night. If it was a child on the other hand, I would give them a toy that they have always wanted.

I would add a law class because if we want to be successful in the department of law we need to undergo a class that teaches us the basics of law before we get to college. This class would be from 11:15 to 12:05, this leaves the students 45 minuets to learn law. This course would be a four marking period class and it would be required for all students who are freshmen and up for two years. 

In this class students will learn about the basics of law, business, and some of the department of law enforcement. It would be like a regular classroom, with mostly lecture, many activities and at least one field trip a year. By the end of the class students will know the basics of business, law, and some of the law enforcement.

During the short break last week, I had football practice two out of the four days we had off. This was enjoyable because I like football. Also I went out at night all four of the days that we had off from school.
On Saturday we had a football game at two o'clock in the afternoon against the Harrison Blue Tide in which we lost by a point. The score was 17 to 16, Harrison won. Also on Saturday COD BO3 released in the United States. On Sunday i stayed home and watched football all day. Then I went out at night to watch The Walking Dead.

Volkswagen Switches to a Costlier Diesel Technology.

• The Volkswagen which sold 4.6 million cars in 2014 and generated nearly $113.76 billion dollars in revenue. 
• In response, Volkswagen is writing up plans to develop electric vehicles and is scrapping existing emissions technology in its diesel engines in favor of more expensive Ad Blue and selective catalytic reduction, or SCR, technology to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions.
• Ad Blue is a fluid based on urea that is injected into the exhaust pipeline where it vaporizes and neutralizes the nitrogen oxide in the catalytic converter.
• The Ad Blue and SCR procedure is considered the best way to reduce toxic tailpipe emissions, but it is more expensive than the method Volkswagen chose in the past for its TDI diesel engines.

This year I am taking geometry as a sophomore in high school. My teacher is, Mr. Santangelo, and he is very good at his job as a math teacher. During this school year I expect to learn about angles, Algebraic formulas, and other things related to the topic of geometry. So far I have learned about algebraic formulas that tie into geometry, and measuring angles and planes.

In geometry class, Mr. Santangeo's grading policy is pretty simple. It consist's of 10% of your grade is quizzes, and 40% is tests. In geometry i like learning straight out of the book because to me it is very straight forward and, the easiest way to comprehend the work. This is the easiest was for me to recall and study the work that is given in class.

In geometry, we would use the Google Chromebooks that the school gives the classrooms, to usually play review games for our upcoming tests. I believe that this is helpful because us as students use technology in our every day lives, and by adding in technology in school makes it more interesting for us.
