It is better to be safe than sorry
I would agree with this essay topic simply because safety is our number one priority of everything and sorrow is totally unuseful to prevent any accident.
This words sorry is not going to protect us from any kind of accidents. These accidents might causes some massive damages to our body or even causes death. However, being safe would be keeping us away from all these kinds of accidents and that also means we are prevented from any kind of accidents and deaths.So I would think that being safe will do us more good than sorry.
In 2005, I was riding a newly brought bike to school, i was happy and excited for the first day of school after Christmas break. I was hyper and i didn't look out for the traffic light. Then I crossed the busy no.1 road and i almost got run over by a public bus. Reflecting on this accident tells me that saying sorry wouldn't prevent us from such accidents that could cause us death.
At last,most importantly,being safe is the highest priority. Being safe could prevent us from dieing but sorrow only could be said after accident has occured. So sorry cant prevent accident from happening. So be safe everybody.

National Debt
A budget deficit occurs when government expenditure
outstrip tax receipts during any single year; the
national debt is the total sum of what the federal
government owes its creditors. When government collect
less taxation or spend more expenditure, it needs to
finance the unbalanced budget by issuing new debt
securities that increase the national debt. The national
debt reachesup to $1.5 trillion by 1990.
One of the most controversial issues among
the economist is that who fear the burden of the national
debt. There are two main schools of thougt; the current
generation or the future generation. The current generation
fears the burden of the national debt because it must give
up private goods to pay for the increasedpublic goods. If
government debt finances an expenditure on public goods, say
national defense, the resourcethat go into producing those
weapons must be given up by some persons during that current
period. On theother hand, the current generation who holds
Treasury Bonds or stocks will be paid back at some period in
future; therefore, the futre generation has the burden of the
national debt. Government needs to issue new bonds or collect
more taxation to finance its debt and the matured securities.
Those new bonds will bebought by future generations and those
higher taxes will be imposed on future generations.
In my opinion, the future generation has greater burden
of the national debt. When government debtfinances an expenditure,
it issues bonds or stocks that is purchased by bondholders. They
voluntarily tradeone asset (money), for another (bonds). What they
purchase is greater future consumption, not the government
expenditure. The people who pay for the government expenditure
are those who pay higher taxes or who buynew bonds or stocks to
retire the previously issued debt.

mart cards are transforming business around the world from reducing fraud and opening up on-line transactions in banking, personalizing services for mobile phone users, to securing access to PCs and corporate networks, and speeding transportation by using electronic ticketing.
The most common uses of smart cards today are: banking and retail, mo-bile communications, information technology, identity and health, park-ing, public telephony, mass transit and campus ID solutions; and areas of use increase every day.
One of the most fast developing areas of smart cards use is Banking and Retail. For business of financial transactions is very competitive and fast-changing, banks are always seeking for new valuable services for their customers. Smart cards give an ability to deploy and manage multiple ap-plications on a wallet-size plastic card. Smart card technology also prom-ises to resolve the security problems through a better methods of protec-tion against theft and fraud.
Here is a small list of advantages that smart cards are supposed to pro-vide:
· can be used as credit, direct debit, or stored value cards.
· Reduce fraud, due to the difficulty of counterfeiting the microchip, and due to the mutual authentication required between cards and terminals.
· Require transactions to be approved via individual PIN codes, not by signature, again reducing fraudulent use.
· Enable loyalty schemes to be effortlessly integrated, giving regular card customers advantageous services (discount on-street-parking, in-store reductions etc.).

Since 9/11/01 Americans and other people all over the world
have now realized what a threat to humanity terrorism can be.
Terrorism is defined in the dictionary as the unlawful use or
threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized
group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or
coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political
reasons. Terrorism involves activities such as bombing, hijackings,
skyjacking, assasinations and random killings. Terrorism is not used
for military reasons but for political reasons or religious reasons. To
me terrorism is a terrible way of getting a point across. Killing
innocent people and halting the progress of the human race is not a
great way to do things. Terrorism is hard to define really. The old
adage, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" is still
alive and well today as it was in the past. Personally..I believe it is the
most evil means of a resolution. It does just what it is meant to...put
terror into others. Terrorists are the evil people who commit these
crimes. These terrorists can come in all different nationalities,
religions, and colors. Today, terrorism occurs everywhere in the
world; most recently home in the U.S. and also in Isreal and
Palestine.
A problem with terrorism has existed for quite some time. No
attention was being paid to it because nothing big was happening
until recently when America was attacked and the world trade center
was destroyed. Terrorism reaches back to ancient Greece. In the 20th
century acts of terrorism have been associated with the Italian Red
Brigades, the Irish Republican Army, the Palestine Liberation
Organization, Perv’s shining path, and the weathermen among many
groups.

Winter Olympics spectators from 3 countries file refugee claims

http://olympics.thestar.com/2010/article/774191--winter-olympics-spectators-from-3-countries-file-refugee-claims
VANCOUVER–Seven people who told officials they were coming to Canada to attend the Olympic Games in Vancouver have filed refugee claims to stay in this country.
Citizenship and Immigration spokeswoman Johanne Nadeau said the seven claims have been initiated and the claimants are not in detention.
Four of the claimants are from Hungary, two are from Japan and one from Russia.
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said the seven claimants, especially those from Hungary, are evidence of a refugee system that is open for abuse. In 2009, the number of claimants from Hungary soared to more than 1,350, almost five times the 285 who applied for refugee status in 2008. In 2007, there were 24.
Kenney said he sees no evidence of persecution of people in Japan. Most asylum seekers from Hungary eventually withdraw their refugee claims, he added. The four claimants from Hungary are reportedly from that country's Roma community.
"Unfortunately our system is sending a message that if you want to get in the back door of immigration to Canada without waiting in queue, you can just come and make an asylum claim," he said Tuesday.
There is no visa requirement for visitors coming from Japan and Hungary, but a visa is needed for people visiting from Russia.
While the claimants are in Canada, they can get welfare benefits and a work permit while their claims, which can take up to 18 months, are processed. If their claim is denied, the Canadian government pays for their return.
Kenney said the high number of withdrawals suggests the asylum seekers are not really seeking Canada's protection.
"I am concerned that some appear to be coming to Canada, signing up for social benefits," said Kenney. "I think that says to us that people are gaming our system and abusing our generosity, suggesting to us they are not really seeking Canada's protection but something else."
In 2009, according to figures supplied by the minister's office, 267 claims were finalized from asylum seekers from Hungary. Of those, five were rejected and 259 claims – about 97 per cent – were abandoned or withdrawn. Three of the claims were accepted.
Kenney said that imposing a visa on Hungary would be a last resort. Last fall, he travelled to Budapest to hold discussions with the government there.
In 2009, the government imposed visa restrictions on visitors from Mexico and the Czech Republic, which reduced the number of claimants from those countries.
Many of the Czech refugee claimants were also known as Roma or gypsies and before the government tightened regulations last summer, nearly 3,000 claims were filed from 2007 to 2009, compared to five claims in 2006.
Two weeks after the government imposed visa regulations last summer, a report from Canada's refugee board found Roma refugees experienced neo-Nazi brutality and lived in ghetto like conditions in the central European country.

Boeing forecasts 10 percent growth in Indian aviation
2010-03-04 19:30:00
Boeing, a leading aircraft maker, Thursday predicted 10 percent growth in India's civil aviation market in 2010 based on signs of recovery from the slump in the air passenger traffic last year.
Dinesh A. Keskar, president of Boeing India, told reporters at India Aviation 2010 that airlines in India had started making profits and the trend was likely to continue through the year.
The domestic passenger traffic has recovered from the 2008-2009 slump. The figures of January (4.09 million passengers) show a recovery. 'If this trend continues, the year will end with 48 million passengers, a growth of 10 percent,' Keskar said.
He said India's domestic passenger traffic was reverting to long-term growth trends and pointed out that the recent domestic capacity adjustments have brought supply and demand into better balance.
Domestic capacity has stabilised with potential for growth going forward. In 2009 the overall domestic market passenger traffic grew by 7.5 percent in 2009.
'The airline profitability stabilised in the fourth quarter of 2009 as airlines better managed loads and fares. The airlines are extending this profitability into the lean season,' the Boeing India president said.
Low-cost carriers are driving the Indian domestic seat growth. The economic slowdown has contributed to corporate travellers constituting over 35 percent of the traffic on low cost carriers, up from 10 percent a year ago.
Keskar said India would require 1,000 airplanes by 2028 valued at $100 billion. The fleet will go up from 330 in 2008 to 1,290 in 2028. He said the potential for the aviation market would be high as the country will be the second biggest economy after China in terms of GDP growth by 2028.
Airbus Industrie too put India's requirement for aircraft to over 1000 by 2028.

How to Write a News Article
Formula for a Well-Written News Article
1. First paragraph
In your first one or two sentences tell who, what, when, where, and why. Try to hook the reader by beginning with a funny, clever, or surprising statement. Go for variety: try beginning your article with a question or a provocative statement.
2. Second/Third/Fourth paragraphs
Give the reader the details. Include one or two quotes from people you interviewed. Write in the third person (he, she, it, they). Be objective -- never state your opinion. Use quotes to express others' opinions!
3. Last paragraph
Wrap it up somehow ( don't leave the reader hanging. Please don't say...."In conclusion" or "To finish..." (yawn!) Try ending with a quote or a catchy phrase.
Additional Tips:
- Use active words (verbs that show what's really happening.)
- Take notes when you interview. Write down quotes!
- Tell the really interesting info first!
q have you stated the location and name of the paper
q does the leading paragraph answer the 5 W's (if so write down what they are in order to ensure that they are clearly stated)
q does your story have paragraphs
q does your story avoid first person narration
q can you find at least five vivid words or phrases
q is there a quote or citation from " a person or institution of authority"
q does your closing paragraph have a powerful completion
