FLOW

Thousands have lived without love, not one without water.

More than two million people die every day from water borne diseases(http://rehydrate.org/water/index.html) and most of them are children. There are millions of people in the United States every morning get up and turn on the tap not knowing that there is a rocket field on their water supply . There are wars going on around the world over oil because of pricy oil and if they take the same path with water there is oil all over again. The world is running out of fresh water. People will do and give anything from their life savings their houses, anything for water. Without water they have nothing, no life, no culture, no society and no economy. When you think about our planet, it is one huge living body because of the water that flows through it and across the land masses you can have veins of water flowing. This flows in to our oceans which are the heart of our earth and it evaporates water and puts water back in to the hydrologic site which again goes up to the mountain tops and again comes down so our planet is just one huge living body with water constantly circulating through it and its the water that gives it life. The surface of our planet is 70% water and 30% solid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth). It’s just like the earth recycles the water. We have the water recycled with us. 70% of water worldwide is used by agriculture, 20% is used by industry, 10% by us. So it’s because of agriculture and industrial users, that we need more water to grow things that should not grow in these places. And sure enough to grow all of this you need a lot of pesticides and chemicals and all those chemicals with water in the earth, it’s not a good marriage. In 2006, the environmental protection agency declared that no harm will result from exposure to atrazine. A lot of creatures die. Some of them are found in the river and some of them are thrown in the river which changes the colour of the water so it pollutes it and gives it a bad smell . So the river should be covered because of the bad smell of the water and it drags blood and stuff from the slaughterhouse that’s further up. These are areas where people don’t have a sewage system so the neighbors have to use the rivers. Poor countries are being forced all over the world to hand over basic controls of their water system so the contaminated water will increase and the people's health is at risk so some countries fight to get their control of their water system back so that they could have a joyful and a peaceful life. Most women in some counties like Africa don’t want to pay when they get water but they have to pay to increase the amount of pure water. It's better than going and getting dirty and unhealthy water from the river so people must encourage them in paying. After this progress everybody is saying how much better their health is after drinking this water. So the progress continued till they created bottled water. Nestle owns over 70 bottled water brands around the world (http://www.polarisinstitute.org/nestl%C3%A9%E2%80%99s_sinking_division) including some of America’s most popular brands. Day by day water is getting more expensive to the citizens and the complaints are rising every day. The future generation is up to us. One day we have got to change this and make this community a better one.

Cameras

Cameras are part of the modern technology.
Cameras have made a lot of achievements.


The invention of the camera influenced and contributed to the technology in many ways. This is due to the inventor George Eastman, who invented the camera in 1888 . After the invention a lot of people made many developments in the technology of the camera and used it in many areas of science, journalism and medical science.
Electronic technology has caught up with the growing demand for advanced and innovative surveillance technology products.

Surveillance Technology Products:
Panning and tilting cameras, digital video recorders, hidden spy cameras, wireless nanny cams, and fully fledged motion-activated networked surveillance systems keep an eye on all suspicious movements. That shows how the technology of the cameras has improved.
How did the 1st Camera affect culture, economy, society, and the environment?
Nowadays cameras are used in many products and the most important product is reducing the irregularities in the streets of the world.
Given the number of traffic violations resulting in many accidents that have claimed many lives and property, the security authorities stress, in all parts of the world, traffic control on a regular basis to avoid the occurrence of such incidents.
Techniques of modern so-called traffic control cameras have spread in Western societies for some time, but this technique is the recent experience in the Arab world. But that the effectiveness of this technique may depend on the availability of a number of factors, including:
- Educating the community about this technology (cameras, traffic control) through various media.
- Activating the role of these cameras through direct and rapid punishment for violating traffic regulations.
Experience has shown the world beyond a reasonable doubt, that the technical effectiveness of the cameras for several aspects, to deter offenders and reduce accidents and victims.
As for deterrence, global experience has shown that cameras are important. For example, a radar speed camera reduces the number of drivers who exceed the speed limit on the road by a significant amount.

Cameras are more efficient:
There are requirements for success, and in order to be effective, we must develop criteria for the installation of cameras and their selection and analyse the information and evaluate their performance.
I suggest that we have to speed the application of the installation of these cameras to cover all towns and villages, and identify the most important places to be installed.

Economic cost:
For the economic cost, One of the objectives of the use of electronic surveillance is to overcome the limitations of human resources required by the conventional control, and the evidence is that a single camera, for example, may serve some 20 patrol cars
. Do not forget that the camera does not get sick like humans, does not get tired and fatigued during the day. These are important in the process of traffic control.

Conclusion:
So we knew that cameras can be use d in many fields. In some places they need safety so they use hidden spy cameras and the journalism use cameras to take photos and put them it in magazines , TV, books.

Now I’m going to compare between two race cars which are the Bugatti Veyron and the Porsche 911 Turbo and I’m going to write about the differences and similarities between these two cars.

There are some similarities between the Bugatti Veyron and the Porsche 911 Turbo. The first similarity is that both of them have a very high safety system. The second similarity is that both of them are sport cars. Another similarity is that both cars have only two doors and only two passengers can sit in each car. Another similarity is that they both have turbo which makes the car faster than usual. Another similarity is that both of them have a sport and normal system.

Although there are some similarities, there are also many important differences between these two fast cars. The first difference is the price. The Bugatti Veyron costs 1.4 million Euro (www.rsportscars.com/bugatti) whereas the Porsche 911 Turbo costs 150,862 Euro (http://www.porsche.com/microsite/911turbo/middle-east.aspx). Secondly, the top speed of the Bugatti is 252.9 mph (www.rsportscars.com/bugatti) while the top speed in the Porsche is 193 mph (http://www.porsche.com/microsite/911turbo/middle-east.aspx). The third difference is the 0-60 mph. The Bugatti Veyron scored less than 2.7 seconds (www.rsportscars.com/bugatti) and the Porsche 911 Turbo scored 3.5 seconds (http://www.porsche.com/microsite/911turbo/middle-east.aspx). The fourth difference is the torque. The Bugatti Veyron has 922 lb.ft (www.rsportscars.com/bugatti) whereas the Porsche 911 Turbo has only 460 lb.ft (http://www.porsche.com/microsite/911turbo/middle-east.aspx). Another difference is the horse power. The Bugatti has 1001 hp (www.rsportscars.com/bugatti) whereas the Porsche has only 480 hp (http://www.porsche.com/microsite/911turbo/middle-east.aspx). Finally, the weight of the Bugatti is 4339 lbs (www.rsportscars.com/bugatti) while the weight of the Porsche is 3130 lbs (http://www.porsche.com/microsite/911turbo/middle-east.aspx).

In conclusion, I can say that some people prefer to buy the Porsche and they have their ways and some others prefer to buy thr Bugatti and they have their ways. Differences and similarities both of them are very fast but the Bugatti is faster than the Porsche. In my opinion, if I have to choose between those two cars I will choose the Bugatti Veyron because it is better than the Porsche from every side such as the speed, design and the prestige.

Europe’s central disappointment

This article was written before one month of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. The writer indicates the speech of Vaclav Havel in 1989, when Europe overthrew the communism. Havel promised the world that his country which is Czechoslovakia will be a compassionate force in European Union. Furthermore it will bring something new to the continent which he called ‘the art of the impossible’ In fact, they were not that kind of force, because they weakened the European Union's progress. In addition, they represent the ideology of a chauvinistic populism.
The soviet-style dictatorship took a toll on the European societies which were qualified and ready to enter the European Union but they couldn’t. Many parties and movements spread through central Europe that effect the popular opinion and may cause some problems. Those movement had a huge negative impact in central Europe because they were not marginal as in western Europe. Also the impact spread through the whole of Europe because central Europe was the right wing factions in the European parliament.
Finally 20 years after central Europe's failure to be what it wanted or promised to be, because of the impact of the negative movements and parties. Disappointedly some of them are still alive.

Hajar Mountains

The Hajar Mountains are home to the Wadi Wurayah. It's protected with more than 100 animals. A protected mountain was established in Fujairah and it's a long way to go to preserve the area. Wadi Wurayah is 169 sq km area, between Masafi and Khor Fakkan and Bidiyah. Also, it's large because it faces some serious threats. Wadi Wurayah is recommended as a must-see in UAE off-road and tourist guides. The Wadi is also home to a type of fresh water fish. In the UAE there are few protected areas which have management plans. The project would not have succeeded if it were not for money donated. The management board consists of local municipality officials. Staff from the ministry of the Enviroment and Water patrol daily and their main concern is to protect it from fishing.

Dyslexia

Dyslexia means problems processing specific visual information. Eye wobbles controls dyslexia. Scientists are working together to adapt hi-tech spectacles by monitoring the eye movement of fighter pilots. Other children with dyslexia may report a disturbing sensation of ‘glare’. For some dyslexic children, reading causes a headache. Dyslexia is not a disease. It’s only a brain difference, like left handedness. Eye wobble is not obvious to the naked eye. The movement is small and very rapid. People of any age can be assessed. These exercises become etched onto the brain. The result is that reading improves greatly.
