Much of the world lives without access to clean water. Privatization of water resources, promoted as a means to bring business efficiency into water service management, has instead led to reduced access for the poor around the world as prices for these essential services have risen. This article looks into this issue in further detail below(http://www.healthblurbs.com).
Already some one third of the world’s population is living in either water-scarce, or water-short areas. It is predicted that climate change and population growth will take this number to one half of humanity. Yet, as Maude Barlow has commented, it is not necessarily over-population causing water shortages: “12 percent of the world’s population uses 85 percent of its water, and these 12 percent do not live in the Third World." Indian scientist and activist, Vandana Shiva noted in a documentary that the water crisis is a human-created crisis only in the last two or so decades.(www.flowforwater.org) In other words, it is not so much of a water shortage crisis, but a water management crisis. That documentary was World Without Water, from True Vision Productions broadcast by Britain’s mainstream media channel, Channel 4 on April 29, 2006.The main reason for the water crisis, the documentary implied, is the commoditization of water. By promoting water as a commodity, this has led to increased control of water by multinational corporations. In turn, there has been increased fear that the poor are shut out, because the multi national corporation main responsibility is to shareholders and to increase profit. As a result, though there may be many people in terms of market access, many people are too poor to afford it. The World Bank, IMF and others have encouraged countries around the world to privatize water access in the hope of increased efficiency as to well as follow other policies such as removal of subsidies for such provisions. In doing so, the poor have found themselves being shut out as prices have risen beyond affordability.
The documentary’ looks at Coca Cola (Coke for short) company’s activities in India and highlighted problems also seen around the world. Because Coke had been pumping water from local wells and aquifers, this led to farmers digging deeper and deeper to search for water, sometimes under dangerous conditions. Some farmers were digging as deep as 450 feet without finding water. The documentary noted that they wanted Coke to leave for they brought them nothing but misery. Indeed, earlier in 2000, violent protests by farmers in the state of Kerala led to the closure of Coke there.The documentary also noted that for each liter of drink from Coca Cola, some 3 liters of water was needed.When asked, Coke noted all the activities they were pursuing to be a more responsible neighbor. Coke also claimed that government figures showed they did not cause the drop in water levels, yet those figures showed otherwise. They also noted that agriculture is responsible for more water usage than Coca Cola. While this is partly correct, this applies more to industrial agribusinesses, not small farmers.Furthermore, farmers are arguably using the land for more productive (and necessary) purposes than Coke. In addition, Coke, typical of many global companies, have used the lands (and, in this case, water) of the poor countries, to produce products to be mainly consumed by people in wealthy countries(http://documentaries.about.com).

The impact of internet in the business
In recent years, there have been enormous developments in the business world. The new millennium has seen significant technological developments at the levels of markets, production techniques and means of communication with customers(http://crab.rutgers.edu/).
The advent of the Internet is the most important revolution in technology in the modern era; the internet by nature does not require high cost, as it enables users from all over the world easy access, making it a good means to connect companies with customers efficiently(http://www.informationweek.com/).
The internet offers any business the opportunity to present a commercial image independent of the organization’s size and location. Small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) across the UK have exploited the internet as it has evolved from an interesting medium for the technology-aware to an essential commercial platform. With this increasing importance, and the internet’s ability to extend the reach of a business, it is valuable to realise precisely what different internet service providers (ISPs) offer before buying. This includes evaluating service level and support capabilities and understanding how these vary throughout the UK.
Widely accepted as a fundamental business tool, the internet has moved far from its academic roots. While many companies in some of the more traditionally industrialised regions have gone online more recently, other regions with more rural expanses show a significant strategic commitment to the internet.
Internet communications not only extend the reach for remote areas; many new applications also permit those based in locations where transport routes are congested to switch from physical travel to digital. This includes web and video conferencing, but also the use of e-commerce platforms to interact with suppliers, customers and partners.
While around a quarter of companies in most regions could cope for no more than an hour with no internet connection, there are a couple of regions where many companies still believe they can manage for over a day without it(http://connectivity.onestopclick.com/). Companies in most areas expect good service levels and look to providers with reliable reputations and business level support, but a significant number report connection performance dropping below what they would expect.
Companies across the UK are noticing personal internet usage by employees, often for domestic chores and general access, but also for social networking and instant messaging. In the main, a pragmatic( practical) view is taken with policies that allow use during lunchtime and outside working hours, but many have put in place access control and site/content monitoring technologies to keep personal internet use in check.
Home working provides business as well as personal flexibility and seems to be more pronounced in areas where transport links are congested, and competition for staff is highest. Mobile phones and laptops are the main tools provided to support home workers, although in some regions employees are supplied with broadband connections and data cards paid for by the business
Knowledge about the differences in the range of options from ISPs is patchy. Despite companies in some regions suggesting there is no problem with the level of jargon( technical words) in the industry, many in these same places struggle with their comprehension of internet service-related technical terms. This lack of understanding will have a business impact and affects the commercial relationship between ISP and SMB.
CONCLUSION: Now British SMBs have embraced the internet and rely upon it for increasingly sophisticated( advance) services, it becomes even more important to understand the different offers from providers and look beyond price to added value and regional support. This also places an onus( burden) on the ISPs themselves to differentiate their product options to demonstrate most clearly the benefits and business impact of their services, and how they intend to support customers across the UK.

Bugatti vs Porsche
Ever since the engines were invented a new word been known to men which is cars. Cars been have used for more than a century, and from the time the first car was built till now thousand of car models were built and hundreds of car companies were established. I’m going to talk about the similarities and the differences between the Bugatti and the Porsche, about the Bugatti Veyron 14.(http://www.rsportscars.com/bugatti) and the Porsche 911 Turbo to be specific. I’m going to talk about the similarities. There aren't many because every company wants to be different from the others. The first similarity is that they are both German companies. The last similarity is that the both of them are at least a hundred years old. The differences between these two cars are many. The first difference is the price; the Veyron costs at least $1.5M(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Veyron) while the 911 costs $500,00 at most. Secondly the speed. The Veyron can reach 250mph while the 911 can only go 200mph maximum. The third and last difference is the weight; the Veyron weighs 5000Ib while the 911 weighs 3750Ib(http://www.porsche.com/). In conclusion there are many differences between the two cars which make it hard to choose which is better, but they are both great cars. To me I like them both but I think the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the best but if I got to buy one of them I would go with the Porsche 911 Turbo because I won’t spend almost $2M for a car.

Article 1
The last few months were a refutation of self regulating capitalism and the elites who nurtured it, and many observers have warned the voters about it. Instead, Europe’s center has held steady and possibly gained strength, except for Germany, France, Britain and small countries like Latvia and Ukraine.The reason for the failure of the crisis to translate into a boost for the extremes is because economic crises tend to rally voters around their existing leadership. Some voters have greater confidence in the mainstream parties to keep the economy stable. Even though left-wing utopia is good for a protest vote as Thomas Petersen says but still few citizens want to be led by the untested leadership of the populist fringe. Of course these are early days, and the bottom is still a long way off. If the crisis lasts a couple of years and none of the mainstream parties can solve it, then voters will give extremists a try says Mudde.California governor Arnold Schwarznenegger gave a lecture at the CeBIT, and his words were inspiring to Deutsche Telekom which are looking to the U.S operations for green innovation.

Summary of Natural Paradise gets Protection
There are many tough places such as the Hajar Mountains. One team started to recognize the place and think how we can protect this beautiful area wich has more than 100 species of animials and more than 300 species of pants, and there are rare kinds of animals that only live there. Then, they found some problems such as hunting and fishing and visitors who drop litter. After that, they started to develop the area after they received orders from the ruler but the drawback here is who will sponsor this project. As you know, we need a lot of money to build the centre and it is all thanks to HSBC. At the end, this area is one of best places in the UAE for tourists and visitors.
It’s not easy to protect the natural paradise but if you have money you can do anything.
It’s a good article because I am from the UAE and I don’t know this place. I hope one day to go to this area and see what’s there and try to help making this place beautiful forever.

Dyslexia in children
Dyslexia in children is when they get confused about specific visual information. The new research sees this problem as caused by eye movement, not from the brain. The scientists started to ask boys about what they see on the page. One of them said the words were moving without legs. The new technology has produced special glasses to help them control their eyes. After that, the scientists said dyslexics do not have enough magnocells. If we need to solve this problem we need to use hi-tech spectacles and try to do special exercises. Finally, it is hoped this will improve reading skills and solve the problem of dyslexia.
