Yes! This year is finishing.

We are entering in the last month of year and we know about it when on TV starts commercials about Christmas where companies try to sell more in this time. Families started to agree on the Christmas dinner, what they will do to have dinner and who will stay together.

At work everybody is talking about vacations and the good news is this is very near to happen. I am counting down the days. I will can stay at home for 20 days, it is not so much, but it is better than nothing. The only problem is this goes so fast.

Sure, there are many problems like traffic that increases a lot, malls that always are crowded and the supermarket too, but we can go there late at night because there are many supermarkets that are open 24h a day.

The time goes so fast and quickly when we are talking about next to Christmas. 

Lottery

Once upon a time, a boy who doesn´t like to work but he always wakes up early  for work. Every day at 5:50 a.m., the clock rang and he has to wake up, eats breakfast, brushes his teeth and goes to work .He is tired of this same routine, to work a lot and doesn´t have money.

One day his friend talked to him to play in the lottery. He said no, I don´t believe in this, I don´t know anybody that has won this. It´s totally bullshit.

Another day, another friend told him the same thing. At night when he arrived home and  he was watching TV a news about a person that won  the lottery and got rich; when the news was over his father said that same thing to play the lottery.

When he went to bed, he started to think that was a big coincidence, three people said the same thing to him and he said that tomorrow he would do this.

After the same routine in the morning he was going to work when he stopped in a lottery and played. When he arrived at home he was very excited because the raffle will be this night. He turned on the TV and started to watches the raffle. After appears the last number, he went to check the numbers and he started to cry a lot. His mother asked him why he is crying. He looked at her and said: I lost R$2,00 and I didn't win the lottery.

Ideia

Today, I don´t have any ideia to write my composition. I can´t think in a specific topic to write about it.

I thought to write about technology, because I like news technologies, then  I searched on internet for a good news about it, but I didn´t found any one, however the most popular news is about the new IPhone 4, but I don’t  want to write about it because I won´t go to buy one.

Then I started to think about chaotic traffic caused by rain, but everybody knows about this, São Paulo stop when start to rain. Every year happen it and the government does not do anything about it to solve the problem.  

Them these are the 2 topics that I thought to write, but I don´t want to write more about it. I´m sleep and don´t want to write more about nothing, maybe to next week I will write about a good thing to do a good composition.

Biodiesel

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel, because it is produced from plant sources, soybean, castor bean, palm oil and others, mixed with ethanol (from sugar cane) or methanol (from wood biomass). Therefore it is a totally clean fuel, organic and renewable.

The biodiesel manufacturing technology is in advanced development in Brazil. Petrobras has this technology and the organic fuel is being used in few vehicles in our country. It is believed that, for the future, this fuel can substitute fossil fuels. That will be a big progress to help to reduce air pollution.

The advantage of biodiesel:

- The burning of fuel generates a low level of pollution that does not contribute to global warming.

The disadvantage of biodiesel:

- If the fuel consumption increases large plantation areas will be resulting in the deforestation of forests.

Open The Garage Gate With Your Cellphone.

A system was developed that you can open your garage gate with your smartphone.

Nowadays many houses have electric garage gates, forcing drivers to use a remote control in their cars.

Now this thing is the past. Finally someone developed a system like an actual remote control technology, where it is possible to open the garage gate using your smartphone.

The system was created by Craftsman AssureLink; it is a smartphone application that works like a remote control. If you are away it is possible to check if you forgot your gate opened or open the gate for other people that forgot the key or the remote control.

The system can be used in smartphones Android and iPhone and will cost US$ 275.

Filters

Have you ever stopped to think about your life without filters? If you complain about the actual pollution, probably we would be living in a world dozens of times worse compared to the darkest scenario of sci-fi movies with grey cities, sick people and the worst would be the water would be sold like gold. It is very scary.

There are more than 20 renowned filter companies in the country, involving air filters, oil, fuel, air-condition , micro-filters, and others, for automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, tractors, utilities, bus, etc.  

However, there is good news: filters are here to stay. They are part of our life in many situations of our day by day. Do you have a car? Do you know that in a car there are more than 20 filters like air filters, oil, fuel and others? Cars as we know that use the Otto engine always will need filters, especially with environmental policies increasing, like a vehicular inspection and control of emission pollutants.

Electric cars are still very expensive and don´t have big autonomy, motiving to develop hybrids cars with Otto and Electric engine. Thus the future of filter companies is guaranteed for many years.
