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.
