Flow

A long time ago people had no factories and the pollution was less than nowadays.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MC_Mehta_v._Kamal_Nath Water is a source of human life for animals and other living creatures. Some people do not care about infection of water and they only think about how to get money. Many manufacturers throw their waste in rivers and as a result humans get many diseases such as cancer. Moreover polluted water from industries can cause death.www.environment.gov.au/ Although many poor people drink tainted water they do not understand the danger for their health. Scientists say that human bodies contain 80 percent of water. Imagine if the earth had no water. There would be no life on earth. Earth is covered by 70 percent of water . Every year more than 3.570 million people die because of diseases caused from unhealthy water. Human bodies take impure water by washing and showering.

Flow movie shows and discusses as the effects of water problems and how we can solve them. This movie is true about what's happening nowadays in our water system. The major countries that the film discusses are India, USA and South Africa. In India crops require 5-10 times the amount of water to produce the same amount of food so they use a lot of water to grow crops. It is expensive and too expensive for poor people to use traditional methods in India. Pathogens are found in water and cause heart diseases. 2 dollars In India can bring 10 liters of water per day. That money is enough for one person a year. Suez is damming the Ganges River to sell water back to Indian citizens at 10 times the price it had been.http://www.springerlink.com/content/c163v60011036778/ This caused a lot of people to die. There are 7600 community-built water harvesting projects in India that affect the living environment and living creatures. People in India try to protest against Coca-Cola Company. The state of California has 27 years of water left and this is enough even for poor people to drink water and distribute it to other poor countries. In America it is estimated that three out of four Americans drink bottled water. Nestle company market had produced 70 brands of bottled water. In South Africa the water in the river is most polluted so they use water tablets for cleaning water but the problem is a lot of people cannot afford the water tablet. Dirty water kills people much more than AIDS and wars. All of these factors lead poor people to drink water and after that death is waiting for them. Water is an important source for living so we need to take care of it for our health. Water is not money, it’s a life, You can save poor people from death.www.nio.org/aroundus/Sagar/water_cycle.jsp

Microsoft office

Microsoft office is computer software that is used to organize, analyze and calculate data coherently. There are three main types of Microsoft office such as, Microsoft office world, Microsoft office excel and Microsoft office PowerPoint. Microsoft office is designed to correct and analyze words for writing essays and other writing processes while Microsoft excel is used to calculate numbers automatically when you enter a formula. It is also used in business companies. Microsoft power point is made for presentations and projects.

Microsoft version 1.0 was published in 1991 while the latest version of Microsoft is 2007. Microsoft had stolen some of Mac software and that helped their company to be better known in the world. The owner of Microsoft Company is Bill Gates and he was the wealthiest man in the world. He was born on October 28, 1955. Bill Gate's fortune is $50 billion so he was the number one business man without competitors.( www.wikipedia.org/Bill). Microsoft office is used in universities, companies and schools. Microsoft office is so important it has been taught in many universities as official course material. You can buy Microsoft office CD's in the market. Each CD for Microsoft office only costs 100AED.

I have used Microsoft office software for a long time and I think it’s the best software I have ever used. All business departments use Microsoft office for security; for example, in businesses companies they all use Microsoft office for security which saving all date for all customers. As a result this gives them additional adaptation to the customers to buy stock from different companies. Microsoft Office Communication server uses a modified and incompatible Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).( http://www.microsoft.com/communicationsserver/en/us/capabilities.aspx).

Microsoft office notes four main components being important in Surface's interface: direct interaction, multi-touch contact, a multi-user experience, and object recognition. (www.microsoft.com).You can download Microsoft office software in many websites for a limited free time and this helps you to get used to or adapt to the Microsoft office software. Microsoft Word has competed with Word Perfect (now part of the Corel suite) for dominance of the word processing market since both were created for DOS. This competition heated up in the Windows environment, and users of one product tend to be passionate about the superiority of "their" product over the other.

Every year Microsoft office updates their software. I am going to write about their similarities and differences between Microsoft office 2003 which is the past version and Microsoft office 2007.

First, a change that you will learn about in all of your Microsoft office training programs is that the add in tool for Office 2003 was removed. It was replaced by a document inspector that can run multiple times at once which makes it easier to clean up documents.

Second, in Microsoft Office 2007 there is now some versioning offered. Before in Microsoft Office 2003 you could only enable or disable versioning, but now versioning numbers are included and numbers such as 3.3 may be used as well as whole numbers like 3.

Last, a change that exists in Microsoft Office 2007 that is different from Microsoft Office 2003 is that Windows Rights Management Client v. 1.0 is no longer supported. A new client version of Windows Rights Management Client SP1 is used in Microsoft Office 2007 and the new version is easy to install and no change is seen when the new version is installed.

Bugatti and Porsche 911 Turbo

Most people nowadays like to drive cars. There are several famous companies that produce cars such as Bugatti, Porsche and Nissan. Cars are known everywhere in the world. A long time ago people used to go from one place to another by walking but today everything has changed. In my essay I am going to write about important similarities and differences between the Bugatti and Porsche 911 Turbo cars.

The first similarity is that both cars are famous cars. Those two cars are ranked top cars and are designed as fashionable cars. Another similarity is that both cars are expensive. This means many people cannot afford those cars. The Bugatti costs $1.6 million while the Porsche 911 Turbo costs $137,360 to 140,780. The last similarity is that both cars are made in Europe. The Veyron and the Porsche 911 Turbo are made in Germany.Although there are similarities between the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 Turbo, there are also differences. (http://www.rsportscars.com/bugatti).

The first difference is that the Bugatti top speed is much faster than the Porsche 911 Turbo. This means the top speed of the Bugatti can reach 253 mph while the Porsche 911 Turbo can only reach 192mph. Another difference is that Bugatti's horse power is much more powerful as opposed to the Porsche 911 Turbo which is the weaker. The Bugatti's horse power is 1001 hp while the Porsche 911 Turbo is only 180 hp. The final difference is that the Bugatti weight is more than the Porsche 911 turbo. The weight of the Bugatti is 5000 lbs but Porsche 911 turbo weighs 3650 to 370 lbs.(http://www.porsche.com/)

In my opinion, I like the Bugatti car because it's the fastest and most expensive car. In addition the Bugatti car has higher features of horse power, weight and top speed. http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Veyron.
