Prince Salman was made First Deputy Prime minister, his nomination as crown prince and deputy prime minister was seen by some as a signal that King Abdullah's cautious reforms were to continue.

On the other hand, Saudi reformists stated that while Pri

Dreamfarm is a design company headquartered in Brisbane, Australia. Founded in Australian Capital Canberra in 2003, Dreamfarm's range includes innovative kitchenwares and homewares, with potato masher Smood the best-selling product; the company won a Red Dot Design Award in March 2010 for "Clongs", click-lock sit up tongs, a design which includes resting points so that the working end of tongs does not come into contact with a bench surface. Dreamfarm was founded in 2003 by the 22-year-old Alexander Gransbury; the company's first product was Grindenstein. Feeling frustrated with no easy way to dispose of the used coffee grinds from his home espresso machine, Gransbury built the first Grindenstein prototype out of a PVC pipe and a construction bolt. Within twelve months, Grindenstein – now made out of ABS plastic and Santoprene rubber – was being sold in selected retail stores around Australia, while still being built at Gransbury's family residence in Canberra. By the end of 2005, Grindenstein was being sold internationally.

Dreamfarm's production was moved offshore in 2006, so the company could continue to meet the high demand and provide products of an optimum quality. From there it was able to concentrate on designing and producing more products and extending the range. Dreamfarm Europe BV was launched to sell directly to European retailers in June, 2006. Due to the fall of the Euro against the US dollar and increasing costs of freight and holding stock in The Netherlands, Dreamfarm Europe BV was closed in June, 2017. In 2007, Dreamfarm secured distribution agencies in the US and New Zealand; as the company continued to expand, the need to be based in a larger city became apparent. It relocated its headquarters to Brisbane, Queensland, in January 2008. To sell directly to the expanding USA market, Dreamfarm Inc was established as wholly owned distributor in May 2008 and Dreamfarm Australia Pty Ltd followed in 2013. Both subsidiaries run their own local warehouses to service retail stores and internet consumers.

Their local sales and support staff manage teams of external sales representatives who call on over 1200 and 400 retail stores in the US and Australia respectively. Dreamfarm is distributed in 23 countries worldwide, including France, Switzerland, Israel, Ireland, The Philippines, South Africa and The United Kingdom; the UK is Dreamfarm's largest market.

The Willingboro Township Public Schools is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade from Willingboro Township, in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2017–18 school year, the district, comprising eight schools, had an enrollment of 3,203 students and 272.0 classroom teachers, for a student–teacher ratio of 11.8:1. The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "DE", the fifth-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J. In 1994 the district established a task force on; this was the second time. In 2002 the district had 5,500 students; that year Toni Callas of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that the district had "mediocre test scores and a tainted public image."

In 2002 it took steps to implement school uniforms and establish three magnet programs in order to attract students to its schools. In January 2004, the district enacted a mandatory school uniform policy. For the 2005-06 school year, Garfield East Elementary School was one of 22 schools statewide selected as Governor's School of Excellence Winners, an award given to schools that have demonstrated significant academic improvement over the previous two academic years.

Anti-German sentiment is defined as an opposition to or fear of Germany, its inhabitants, its culture and the German language. Its opposite is Germanophilia; the sentiment began with the mid-19th century unification of Germany, which made the new nation a rival to the Great Powers of Europe on economic, cultural and military grounds. In the 20th century, the role of Germans as the primary perpetrators of the Holocaust and Germany's role in starting two world wars fed anti-German sentiment amongst Germany's enemy countries and the citizens of those countries. In the 1860s Russia experienced an outbreak of Germanophobia restricted to a small group of writers in St. Petersburg who had united around a right-wing newspaper, it began in 1864 with the publication of an article by a writer who proposed that Poland be given autonomy and that the privileges of the German barons in the Baltic governorates and Finland be preserved. Mikhail Katkov published a harsh criticism of the article in the Moscow News, which in turn caused a flood of angry articles in which Russian writers expressed their irritation with Europeans, some of which featured direct attacks on Germans.

The following year, 1865, the 100th anniversary of the death of Mikhail Lomonosov was marked throughout the Russian empire. Articles were published mentioning the difficulties Lomonosov had encountered from the foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, most of whom had been of German descent; the authors criticized contemporary German scholars for their neglect of the Russian language and for printing articles in foreign languages while receiving funds from the Russian people. It was further suggested by some writers that Russian citizens of German origin who did not speak Russian and follow the Orthodox faith should be considered foreigners, it was proposed that people of German descent be forbidden from holding diplomatic posts as they might not have "solidarity with respect to Russia". Despite the press campaign against Germans, Germanophobic feelings did not develop in Russia to any widespread extent, died out, due to the Imperial family's German roots and the presence of many German names in the Russian political elite.

Negative comments about Germany had begun to appear in Britain in the 1870s, following the Prussian victory in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870–71. Criticisms were expressed in the press and in the birth of the invasion novel, many of which focused on the idea that Britain might be Germany's next victim; these fears were fueled by the new mass press, which had a huge impact on public opinion. Lord Alfred Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliff, who used his Newspapers like "Daily Mail" or "The Times" to rush against Germany, was prominent in this role and influenced the classes and the masses like no one else against Germany. In 1887, the label Made in Germany was introduced, to get British buyers to adhere to the concept of "buying British". After suffering slight losses, German manufacturers soon found the label to be of good use, but it shows another reason for British sentiments against Germany. The British Empire was one of the leading economic powers in the world and didn‘t want to lose its place to Germany.

With increasing economic power of the German Empire the Germans were perceived as competitors more and more. In the 1890s there was widespread hostility towards foreigners in Britain directed against eastern European Jews but including Germans. Joseph Bannister believed that German residents in Britain were "gambling-house keepers, hotel-porters, barbers,'bullies', runaway conscripts, bath-attendants, street musicians, bakers, cheap clerks, etc". Interviewees for the Royal Commission on Alien Immigration believed that Germans were involved in prostitution and burglary, many people viewed Germans working in Britain as threatening the livelihood of Britons by being willing to work for longer hours. Anti-German hostility deepened since early 1896 after the Kruger telegram of Kaiser Wilhelm II, in which he congratulated President Kruger of the Transvaal on resisting the British Jameson Raid. Attacks on Germans in London were reported in the German press at the time but do not appear to have occurred.

The Saturday Review suggested "be ready to fight Germany, as Germania delenda est". The Kaiser's reputation was further degraded by the Daily Telegraph Affair. In the 19th century the mass influx of German immigrants which made them the largest group of Americans by ancestry today, resulted in nativist reactionary movements not unlike those of the contemporary Western world; these would culminate in 1844 with the establishment of the American Party, which had an xenophobic stance. One of many incidents described in a 19th century account included the blocking of a funeral procession in New York by a group who proceeded to hurl insults at the pallbearers. Incidents such as these led to more meetings of Germans who would establish fraternal groups such as the Sons of Hermann in 1840, having been founded as a means to "improve and foster German customs and the spread of benevolence among Germans in the United States". Following the signing of the Entente Cordiale in 1904 between Britain and France, official relationships cooled as did popular attitudes towards Germany and German residents in Britain.

A fear of German militarism replaced a previous admiration for German literature. At the same time, journalists produced a stream of articles on the threat pos

Camp Stanley is a U. S. Army facility located at the Leon Springs Military Reservation, the present day Camp Bullis, twenty miles northwest of downtown San Antonio near Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas, it operates the "Camp Stanley Storage Activity" as an ammunitions depot subpost of the San Antonio Arsenal. It is not to be confused with the U. S. Army's Camp Stanley located in South Korea. Camp Stanley was an infantry cantonment called Camp Funston, was renamed Camp Stanley on October 2, 1917, for Brig. Gen. David Sloane Stanley; the primary missions of the "Camp Stanley Storage Activity" have been receipt and issuance of ordnance material. The secondary mission of the CSSA is weapons qualifying. After World War II, several land transfers occurred: In 1953 about 2,040 acres, the majority of the outer cantonment of present-day Camp Stanley, were transferred from Camp Bullis to the Camp Stanley Storage Activity. In 1949 CSSA had become assigned to the Red River Army Depot near Texarkana, Texas, as a support facility.

In 1970 an additional 204 acres were transferred to Camp Stanley. According to a US Army document of 2005, "The primary mission of CSSA is receipt and issuance of ordnance material as well as quality assurance testing of military weapons and ammunition. A secondary mission, weapons training and qualifying occurs at CSSA." A 2010 solicitation for bids to do environmental work at Camp Stanley noted, "The installation stores large quantities of arms and ammunition and has sensitive missions, thus access to the installation and security clearance requirements for long-term personnel are much more restrictive than most military installations." News stories in 2011 indicated a Central Intelligence Agency presence at Camp Stanley in connection with warehousing of ex-Soviet weapons for distribution to factions in conflicts the US wished to support covertly and deniably. In December 2013, the CSSA was identified by former CIA analyst Allen Thomson as the probable site of a CIA arms cache known as the “Midwest Depot”, used from at least the early 1960s and through 2010.
