Internet invision
While mostof people are concerning about potential damages of personal information by using location-tracking systems, they should also be aware of those behavioral targeting ads may invade their privacy and can choose if they will be tracked or not. A kind of digital programs are used to capture web surfers’ records about what websites they have visited and saved them for future behavioral targeting ads, cookies have been applied widely at present by numerous online advertisers. By collecting a great deal of data, advertisers may uncover many clients’ personal information, which can be extremely private and sensitive, such as banking information or records. To support the claim that web surfers should be informed that behavioral tracking ads can invade their privacy, Catherine Holahan quotes Dave Morgan, TACODA’s founder and chairman, who says “Privacy is a challenging area and consumers will want to go to safer alternatives”. In other words, web surfers will prone to use safer websites in the sake of privacy. Some corporations, for instance, in my country, China, have already stopped using behavioral targeting ads online even though they seem more effective and precise. The founders of those corporations believe that take care of privacy will attract more businesses in the future ads market. In brief, being acknowledged the possible risks of behavioral targeting ads, web surfers should have the right to choose whether be tracked.
Another band I like- Linkin Park
Linkin Park is a band from California, US. The band has six members, they are Chester Bennington ,Rob Bourdon ,Brad Delson ,Dave "Phoenix" Farrell ,Joe Hahn,Mike Shinoda.They achieved mainstream success in 2000 with their album, hybrid theory, which has sold over fifteen million copies. Linkin Park‘s latest album “Minutes to midnight” was released on May 15th, 2007. I bought it on May 16th.I bought it at HMV which at south of Downtown I don't really enjoy this album very much because there are too many rap single in this album. It is totally different from their last two albums which I love.
The book knowledge and experiences
Nowadays, with the knowledge’s explosion, the world is developing in amazing speeds. In order to survive in this century adequate knowledge is essential. There are numerous kinds of knowledge however, the terms book knowledge and experience nearly conclude all other knowledge.
First and foremost book knowledge and experience have two distinct ways to be acquired. Literally, book knowledge means that it can be only gained by reading books; furthermore, book reading plays a significant role in every single person’s life. Everybody needs to read to obtain new information, and book knowledge is very easy for people to understand. In the other words, book knowledge requires less comprehension. In contrast, experience is a kind of knowledge which can be solely acquired by going thought an event. The same as book reading, experiencing different situations are the things that people never stop doing. Experiences, however, unlike the book knowledge which can be fastly absorbed, it takes longer times to accumulate, and involves more comprehension. For example, playing basketball; players can learn every theory and posture by reading relevant books, which may be filled with images. After learning these rules they may be a profession critic, but they cannot even play like ordinary basketball players; likewise, if they just go to the Gym and begin to play basketball without any knowledge they might just know how to play it basically and will never make progress.
Second, knowledge range is another obvious dissimilarity between book knowledge and experience. Book knowledge has a wider range than experience. Containing thousands of different kinds of knowledge, libraries can be found everywhere in the world. People only need to sit in them with very basic reading skills and they can begin their adventures to the places to whatever they want. From sitting in biology lecture to roaming on the moon, books give people the chances to fulfill there dreams by reading. Extensive knowledge is the feature of book knowledge. On the other hand, experiences confines in a narrow range. Even though experience does not have a wide range, it seems more specific. For instance: operating a machine. A person can learn many theories and even know the procedures this machine produces by reading books. He/she will never know the specific problems happening in the process of operating the machine.
What are the differences when book knowledge and experience apply to the reality? The question is the final dissimilarity between them. Book knowledge is acquired by reading. Therefore, book knowledge tends to be a more abstract concept. Thus, book knowledge is more about detail and precision but it falls short a little far away from reality. On the contrary, the experience is more practical and closer to daily life. For instance, to learn how to drive a car: people can not learn this skill only by knowing book knowledge or even watching video records. They need to find cars and get in them. Using their hands to touch and try. The best way to acquire the driving skill is to do it.
In brief on how to gain book knowledge and experience which is a wider topic and how to use the two are the chief distinctions for distinguishing them; nevertheless, they both are extremely significant for humanity. People can not learn history, mathematics, and other subjects without book knowledge, whereas they will not know how to play tennis and other sports without experiencing them.

Free writing
At the end of day, people went back home feeling exhausted, and then they have to prepare food for their children. With the increasing of living rhythm, modern people are tired and have not time to spend on preparing, shopping, and cleaning when they choose to cook; therefore, eating at restaurants become a better choice. Undeniable that cooking at home do save a great deal of money, but it also cost a lot of time, which can be used to earn more money. Thus, personally I prefer to eat out because I can have various choices, high quality preservation, and time saving.
First of all, diversity of food choices might be an attraction for people to decide to eat out. In the restaurant, we can order many kinds of food, sometime Chinese food, sometimes Italian food. For me, eating different delicious food is quite joyful. Comparing with cooking at home, I can only make limited few dishes, which often taste funny, and that strengthen my resolve to eat out.
Moreover, restaurants always provide high quality of dishes, which I can not and will not be able to cook. The chives in the restaurants have been trained to cook for a long time and it is sure that they have achieved a higher level of cooking; thereby, the food cooked through their hand will taste much better than mine. Also, because restaurants were always concerning about the balance of nutrient, many refined and changes of food intergradient have be made instantly. So eat at restaurants seem a good option.
Finally, eating at restaurant can save a great deal of time. Maybe somebody will contradict my opinion by enumerating that cooking a meal can be very fast. Indeed that cooking can be very fast, but cooking a meal comprises not only just cooking, but also buying groceries, and cleaning. In contrast with eat out, it is obvious that cooking consume more time than eat out. Moreover, expenditure might be a reason stop people from eating in restaurant, but for some people the time that they save seem worthier than the money they save.
In brief, a lot of choices, delicious, and time saving are chief facts that lead people to eat out. However, decide whether to eat out can be a very personal question. In the expansion of economy, people earn more money than before and the hard work limited people's leisure time, and the time people used to cook looks more e. That also answered why the business of food are becoming prosperous than ever before.

About the stampede Part 2
The great standshow is another special events in Calgary Stampede. They called it "the greatest show on the earth". The show has two separte parts, they are the wagon race and the stage show. I did not really enjoy the race very much. There we are ten turns, each turn had four wagons race. I felt so boring when I was watching it. When the night fell, the stage show began. There were not only operas, but also many other interesting shows, like motocycle show and fireworks. I do love the stage show and I recommended my friend Jamie to watch it.

About the stampede
Accoring to my lovely classmates' requests, I am gonna write my feeling abou the stampede. The stampaede is a significant festival for Calgarians. It has many interesting events, such as the Greatstand show,the pray, and the Rodeo.I went to both the pary and the Greatstand show. First, the pary is like a preview of the whole festival. We can see everything that will appear in the stampede. I enjoyed two parts mostly, they are the mobile force and the Beauty. I like the mobile force because the tank and the war chariot. About the beauty, unfortunately, there were no Asian girls in the team. Moreover, they were just walk by rather than dancing. This is my first view of the stampede.
