US Airways To Charge For Blankets, Pillows

Hi!!

It’s me “Pat”

Here is some interesting thing that we “travelers” have to know.

I have listened to the news which is about one major player airline in US.

The US Airways will begin charging for your pillow and blankets

which calls "Power-Nap Sack"

The package includes a blanket, neck pillow, eye shades

and foam ear plugs for $7 per package.

And here is my advice, next time if you have to make a decision

about buying flight ticket (the long flying trip)

"Don’t forget to add $7 to the US Airways air fare".

Hello everybody,
As we know that raising the economy is one of president obama`s goals. He likes to make more investments and enterprises. The plan will likely include money to makethe transition easier to the medical records. They also talked about the green jobs. Obama considered the green jobs as a way to reduce relying on the foreign oil and a way to improve the environment and come up with new technologies. They also tried to look for a new engine instead of central engine that America don`t rely on.

Transportation ^.^

Hello everyone.
How is your first lab day going so far?
Today, i am going to talk little bit about what I heared about the transportation in general. And how it would be in the future. As we know the cars become old invention if we compare it with what new is. The traffic and spending a lot of money in building roads could be wasting money. Why don`t people start thinking of a new type of transportation which would make the life easier and faster. One of the examples for that is the people who use helicopter for their daily life. Could you imagine how the transportation would be in the coming 50 years. scientists afford a lot of new invention that might be used in the future such as green buses, hydrocarbon cars or even cars that use water instead of oil.
I found that the topic is really interesting because it would open people`s minds about what will going to happen in the future, or comes up with new ideas and thoughts about the transportation in the future. Moreover, they discussed new developed methods that can be used in the future instead of the old one`s .

In my point of view, they should think seriously about developing the trasportation ways because the life is changing every day and the transportation should change too .
After reading that, the question is :how does this thoughts and ideas affect on people`s life? would it be more harder or easier?
