   We rely on space for a ton of things. It helps our technology work properly. If something happened in space that could mess up our technology. The world would practically be paused and be chaotic with us relying on traffic lights, credit cards, and GPS. Us having all our things done through space could lead us having a space war. There is a space organization in the Air Force branch of the US military that watches and makes sure nothing like that is going to mess anything up. I think its a good thing we have a group like that because what would we do if we were cyber hacked or something?.

   A group has reinvented the design of a wheel. their wheel is called a soft wheel. The soft wheel began on wheel chairs, which is their biggest costumers. They also tested it on bikes. Their next goal is to put soft wheels on cars. The wheels are made for smoother rides. they also said the wheel can cut the price of cars. I think it'll be a while before seen on cars but when they are it'll be preferable.

   Black Friday is coming up and the past few years numbers have dropped of shoppers. There are sales going on way before black Friday now and there is cyber Monday. The way things are so easy to be gotten on the internet without having to go out and deal with the crowds of people is leading to Black Friday not being that big of deal. Some stores are closing to encourage workers and shoppers to spend time with their family. I think that's a good idea. I would hate to have to work on Thanksgiving.

   Japans prime minister came to the US to talk to Donald Trump. He wanted to talk to Trump about the trade between US and Japan. trump also mentioned he was going to withdraw US troops from Japan and also said the US can make their own nuclear power weapons to fight North Korea. I think if Donald trump thinks its hurting the US in more ways then benefitting and can do without them I think he will eliminate US and Japan relations. If he realizes we need them then he'll leave it alone. I also think as far as Japan thinking he said all this just to get elected I think the should have a bit more of concern.

   The keyboard is laid out in a odd order. The reason behind this layout goes back to when typewriters were made. The keys would get stuck when common letters were being used all together. The most used letters were scattered out making our keyboard look how it does today. I thought this was pretty interesting. I never knew why it was how it is. The Qwerty layout has stuck to how we make all keyboards from typewriters to laptops to cellphones.

   Visits to the movie theater has dropped over the years. A new idea on how to get people going to the movies a lot again is an experience called 4DX. 4DX is created to make the viewer feel like they're in the movie. I'm not sure this is gonna work because 1 ticket is predicted to be as much as $30. If they can figure out how to reduce the ticket price I think this idea will do really well. Each theater is gonna cost 2 million dollars to install a 4DX system. I think this would be a fun experience but I would much rather use $30 to do something besides watch a movie.

   What if something were to happen to the US during this transition time between presidents. Would the nation be secure? The nation's security positions should be appointed and also should be put in place to be getting use to it so that the nation is not left unable to protect itself from anything that could happen. These transitions need to go very quick and the president and his team needs to know what they are doing as soon as they get into office/ the position. I think we as a nation need to be on edge and plan for an expected attack. We need to have a plan to keep this nation safe during this time.

   This year there hasn't been any major tornadoes yet. November is when we expect tornadoes and most of them occur in late November so we need to beware of that. If you here a warning then you need to take cover. The drought that is occurring is keeping us from having any major storm. I think there may be one or 2 but won't be more then that. I also believe everyone should have a plan of what to do during a tornado.

   As Donald trump is elected our president this transition of presidents is going to have many changes. The relations of trade between Mexico and relations between Russia will we make them allies. Will we be a part of the battle taking place wit Isis. These are many things people are uncertain of. What will Trump do? As Americans, these are all things we need to pay close attention to. We also hope that this decision of president is a good choice for our country because now our country is in the hands of Donald Trump's decisions and thoughts.

   Donald Trump will be the next US President. He won NC, FL, OH and flipped 2 normally democratic states. Also the Senate and House of Rep. still remains in republican control. This will help Trump pass what he wants. I think that there will be many changes in the supreme court and with certain laws/regulations Obama put in place. All we know for now is America will change.

   Today is election day. There is a possibility of Donald Trump winning but this election is still in Hillary's favor. If Trump wins Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Florida then he could win. The popular vote is in Hillary's favor but it's really close. Hillary having 46% and Trump having 42%. I hope that Trump can come back tonight. This is one of the most heated elections ever. we'll find out who the next president will be tonight.

   Tomorrow is election day. This election is in Hillary Clinton's favor but Donald Trump is gaining momentum. Unexpected states are becoming battle ground states. Donald Trump still has a bit of a chance. Obviously Hillary doesn't have to work as hard to win. I think if Donald Trump tries really hard he has a chance of winning this election. The anticipation and predictions will end tomorrow night when we know who wins this election and who will be the next US President.

   The oil pipeline had an explosion earlier this week. It had a breakage in September. These accidents will make gas prices increase if isn't fixed soon. It's predicted to open back on Saturday but have ran into a few problems. I believe the government should find a better way to transport gasoline because this is the 2nd time in the past 3 months we've had to worry if we'll have gas or not. I believe this break in the pipeline will eventually get fixed but will take about a week or week and a half to finish fixing.

   Presidents are shooting for 270 votes from the electoral votes. The electoral college votes are there for the smaller states to hear their voices. I believe this is eliminating the power of the popular votes. If you have a faithless voter that could make a republican vote a state with a democratic vote. All  the power should be in all the people making whoever has the popular vote win. I believe they should eliminate this system but I also believe they should keep it how it is for this election. The election  is too close to make a major change; they should introduce this policy before the next election in 2020.
