                                                                         Class Evaluation
1. What i like about this class is that we do things some of us haven't done like coding well i have done this my freshmen year.

2. I really do like this class there's nothing i don't like about this class everything is good this computer science class isn't bad

3. We should do something different more than just do coding and all that something new that none of us have done

4. My highlight for this class is that i got to meet new people

5. I did do my best in this class even though i messed around sometimes but i put in work

6. Yes, i am writing and reading my life planning journals because there are so many goals i want to accomplish in life or when i get older i wake up and i am willing accomplish one goal or 2

7. Yes, i'm committed to be a CTR person because being CTR you could accomplish your goals and everything but being a CTW person it won't get you no where

Innovation of Electric Vehicles 

My opinion on the electric vehicles is that they are soon gonna trend they are currently working on more electrics cars soon they are gonna be popular An electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one or more electric motors, using electrical energy stored in rechargeable batteries. The first practical electric cars were produced in the 1880s Electric cars were popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century, until advances in internal combustion engines, electric starters in particular, and mass production of cheaper gasoline vehicles led to a decline in the use of electric drive vehicles. In 1987, electric cars found their first commercial use in the USA. New York City taxies were electric, and they were manufactured by the Philadelphian Electric Carriage and Wagon company. During the 20th century, the main manufacturers of electric vehicles in the US were Anthony Electric, Baker, Columbia, Anderson, Edison, Riker, Milburn and others. Unlike gasoline-powered vehicles, the electric ones were quieter and did not require gear changes.
Since 2008, a renaissance in electric vehicle manufacturing has occurred due to advances in batteries, concerns about increasing oil prices, and the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.Several national and local governments have established tax credits, subsidies, and other incentives to promote the introduction and now adoption in the mass market of new electric vehicles depending on battery size and their all-electric range.

Compared with cars with internal combustion (IC) engines, electric cars are quieter and have no tailpipe emissions. When recharged by low-emission electrical power sources, electric vehicles can reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to IC engines. Where oil is imported, use of electric vehicles can reduce imports.

Recharging can take a long time and in many places there is inadequate recharging infrastructure. Battery cost limits range and increases purchase cost over IC vehicles, but battery costs are decreasing. Drivers can also sometimes suffer from range anxiety- the fear that the batteries will be depleted before reaching their destination.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

1. Be proactive 
"Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. It says, "I am the captain of my life. I can choose my attitude. I'm responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the driver's seat of my destiny, not just a passenger." My reflection about this habit is that this means that if you are proactive, you make things happen, instead of waiting for them to happen to you so if you are proactive, you are ready before something happens. The opposite is being reactive, or waiting for things to unfold before responding.

2. Begin with the end in mind
"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch). This habit means that Begin with the End in Mind means to begin each day, task, or project with a clear vision of your desired direction and destination, and then continue by flexing your proactive muscles to make things happen. One of the best ways to incorporate Habit 2 into your life is to develop a Personal Mission Statement. Always wake up in the morning and have that thought that today you're going to achieve something today

3. Put first things first
"Organize and execute around priorities." Put First Things First. Put First Things First is Habit # 3 of Stephen Covey's book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Putting first things first means doing to the most important things in life. It means being clear about your priorities and acting on them. 

4. Think Win-Win
"Think win-win or no deal."Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying. We both get to eat the pie, and it tastes pretty darn good!

5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood
"Diagnose before you prescribe." If you're like most people, you probably seek first to be understood; you want to get your point across. And in doing so, you may ignore the other person completely, pretend that you're listening, selectively hear only certain parts of the conversation or attentively focus on only the words being said, but miss the meaning entirely. So why does this happen? Because most people listen with the intent to reply, not to understand. You listen to yourself as you prepare in your mind what you are going to say, the questions you are going to ask, etc 

6. Synergize
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)" Synergize is the habit of creative cooperation. It is teamwork, open-mindedness, and the adventure of finding new solutions to old problems. But it doesn't just happen on its own. It's a process, and through that process, people bring all their personal experience and expertise to the table. When people begin to interact together genuinely, and they're open to each other's influence, they begin to gain new insight. The capability of inventing new approaches is increased exponentially because of differences. 

7. Sharpen the saw
Habit #7 in Steve Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is called “Sharpen the Saw.” Covey uses the common analogy of a woodcutter who is sawing for several days straight and is becoming less and less productive.Think about what it would mean to sharpen the saw of your life Sharpen the Saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have--you. It means having a balanced program for self-renewal in the four areas of your life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual. Here are some examples of activities:
Physical: Beneficial eating, exercising, and resting
Social/Emotional: Making social and meaningful connections with others
Mental: Learning, reading, writing, and teaching
Spiritual: Spending time in nature, expanding spiritual self through meditation, music, art, prayer, or service 

Overall Reflection
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (Covey, 2004) has become the cornerstone of leadership and management wisdom. The habits emphasize personal responsibility and personal leadership. There is challenge in living everyday under the guidance of the habits but there is also great benefit as living the habits can influence everything we do in life. I was introduced to Covey’s seven habits through a one day seminar at my workplace several years ago. I learned some of the terminology and a few of the concepts but never really understood the power of the practical application of the habits. Reading the Covey materials has taught me that life is not about all the tasks that I accomplish but instead about accomplishing the tasks that support what is important to me. Covey has taught me that there are elemental components that are applicable across the many roles that I have in my life. Those universal elements are integrity, vision, discipline, and passion. Embracing these ideas has opened my eyes to the endless applications and benefits of living the seven habits. Being proactive is the first step in the seven habit journey.

Importance of Setting Goals 

The importance of setting goals is that when you get older you focus on your goals you want accomplish later in life for example if your goal is to go to a good university then reach for that goals no one is stopping you dream big!.

"Six rules to make people like you"

1. Become genuinely interested in other people
This rule means that if you want people to like you, you have to be interested in things they do or like because how about if you and that person have something in common? That'd be great because both of you guys are interested in each other and what you guys do also here's a quote "You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."Image result for Become genuinely interested in other people

2. Smile
This rule means that if you smile and keep your head up people will think your a happy person and people will talk to you you always have to smile even if your going to problems always keep a smile on your face because eventually everything will get better you got friends and family that will help you but keep a smile and never a frown and if you see someone not having a good morning tell them a compliment and make them smile to brighten up there day. "Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile" Image result for smile quotes

3. Remember Names 
This rule means that you have to remember people's name no matter what because if you meet new people and want to get to know them more you have to remember there name. If you meet this girl and you like her and she likes you, you really have remember his/her name its very important you do remember there names. Remembering things are good too it helps you with remembering things. Image result for remember names

Artificial neural networks decode brain activity during performed and imagined movements

Filtering information for search engines, acting as an opponent during a board game or recognizing images: Artificial intelligence has far outpaced human intelligence in certain tasks. Several groups from the Freiburg excellence cluster BrainLinks-BrainTools led by neuroscientist private lecturer Dr. Tonio Ball are showing how ideas from computer science could revolutionize brain research. In the scientific journal Human Brain Mapping they illustrate how a self-learning algorithm decodes human brain signals that were measured by an electroencephalogram (EEG). It included performed movements, but also hand and foot movements that were merely thought of, or an imaginary rotation of objects. Even though the algorithm was not given any characteristics ahead of time, it works as quickly and precisely as traditional systems that have been created to solve certain tasks based on predetermined brain signal characteristics, which are therefore not appropriate for every situation.
