Why do people have red eyes when you take a picture??

When we take picteures the light that the flash and the ligt reflects off the retna and that causes the red ness that we seee when we get pictures taken. All animals such as dogs, cats, deers, and many more animals have a protective layer on thier eye called the "calledtapetum lucidum". When light is flasahed in to them a whit glow reflects off them. That is why if you take a picture of your pet you see that their eyes are weired and are all white. The red that you actually see is the blood vessel that makes your eye red. So the people that made the cameras now made a camer that reduces the redness in your eyes. What they do is make he camera flash two times so that your pupile will turn less red and the second one is so after your eye isn't so that it takes the picture.In my opinion I think tha is a good idea because know the people in their pictures can look pretty and not look so scary.

Wildfires in Ausralia

In Australia they had the worst wildfire just recently. They fire took the lives of 134 people. The fire's were so large that they were visible from space. Several people in arctic of Australia have dies because of the outrageous temperate of 114 degrees. NASA has mad a chart of Australia and saw that there was more blue and red than white in Australia. That isn't good because the blue and the red are a "10-degree (C) differential from normal (white)." And that's not good. Right now Australia is so dry that if just a small spark hits the ground that can cause a huge wildfire. We have wildfires just like this in the U.S in California in the summer all of the time. In my opinion I think that we should all work harder in trying to clean up the earth because the wildfires are caused by global warming and if we help save the earth hopefully there won't be anymore dangerous wildfires such as this one.

New Road Fire

on January 28 in South Brunswick in Kendall Park on New Road was a terrible fire. Mr.Wolfe the owner of the house stated that the fire was started by an electrical problem from one of the buildings. Mr.Wolfe said that the "fire came out of the panel and on to his walls". The fireman from Monmouth and Kendall park said that the fire only took 20 to 25 minutes to clear out they also said that the "fire is not considered suspicious". So the fire was just a cliche with the wiring and wasn't a big problem.In my opinion I think that people in South Brunswick and other places should have monthly checks o there electricity wiring so that it will prevent people from having fires in their homes.
