Smoking 

Problem & solution essay

                There is nothing worse than spending a hard day and then ending it by smoking. Smoking affects our bodies negatively and that cause many problems. Also it affects the user within less than a second of the first inhalation. Each year, over 430,000 people die as a result of a smoking related disease. There are several harmful health effects of cigarette smoking. The smokers may suffer from some dreadful diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, lung disease, respiratory problems and several other problems like related to kidneys, liver and pancreas. About 90% of lung cancer cases are because of smoking. Also, Smokers can develop other types of cancers such as bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, cancer of the kidneys and esophagus cancer. Female smokers are at a greater risk of cancer. Moreover cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of death due to smoking. The great problem from smoking is that it does not influence just the smoker but it influences all the people around him. If the smoker smokes in front of his children that affects their health and gives them a bad example that may make them want to smoke. Smoking causes very serious effects during pregnancy, both on the pregnant woman and her baby. There may be some congenital defects in the baby such as cleft palate. There are some passive effects of smoking on people who come in contact with smoke. If babies and kids come in contact with smokers, they become more prone to asthma and infections of ear, nose and chest. They are at increased risk of sudden infant death.

              Smoking has bad effects on the health of a smoker and of those who come in contact with cigarette smoke. The only way to prevent these health hazards is to quit smoking. It’s never too late to stop smoking, which could protect you and your family from many fatal diseases. That can be done by raising awareness of the seriousness of smoking.The first; the electric cigarette is the new solution for stopping smoking. The dependency of taste is removed by the electric cigarette by offering a selection of vapor flavors including the traditional dependency taste.

                   The visual dependency is satisfied with the electrical cigarettes ability to provide vapor with inhalation that mimics the appearance of cigarette smoke. Electronic cigarettes are deceiving the body's taste and deliver signals to the brain while the electronic cigarettes do not contain harmful substances. The second, government can help smokers to stop smoking by dealing with the department of  health and human services, which oversees the CDC and, continues to partner with national, state and local agencies to provide programs aimed at dependency control. The national dependency control program helps to fund health departments nationwide in dependency use prevention, including an effort to protect the public from exposure to secondhand smoke through legislation, such as lobbying for smoking bans in public places. The government must inform people about  the danger of smoking by showing short programs on the television about the negative effects of smoking and how it causes diseases that can kill the smoker. It also can spread some brochures about the dangers of smoking .Using the media to show the negative effect of smoking can be one of the ways to solve this problem.These are the strategies that will help people to stop smoking.

             I am of the opinion that the Health Authority is imposing tough penalties on smokers who are smoking in public places and not allowed to smoke. The smoker must respect the laws and abide by them and must not smoke in places where there are families and children. And also governments and companies should act against smoking because it is harmful and not beneficial for the body and it causes disease and kills the same person and they should prevent the sale of anything tobacco-related to young people.

       As we can see, it’s easy to list possible solutions to stop smoking because everyone knows the solutions and problems in smoking.

In this world there are many alternative energies used by plants to generate electricity. Electricity generation is the process of creating electricity from other forms of energy.  This energy was pioneered in the 1820s and early 1830s by the British scientist Michael Faraday. He generated electricity by the movement of a loop of wire, or disc of copper between the poles of a magnet. For electric utilities, it is the first process in the delivery of electricity to consumers. The other processes, electricity transmission, distribution, and electrical power storage and recovery using pumped storage methods are normally carried out by the electrical power industry. Electricity is most often generated at a power station by electromechanical generators, primarily driven by heat engines fueled by chemical combustion or nuclear fission but also by other means such as the kinetic energy of flowing water and wind. There are many other technologies that can be and are used to generate electricity such as solar photovoltaics and geothermal power. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation)

And generating energy was made possible when it was recognised that alternating current power lines can transport electricity at very low costs across great distances by taking advantage of the ability to raise and lower the voltage using power transformers. Electricity has been generated at central stations since 1881. The first power plants were run on water power or coal, and today we rely mainly on coal, nuclear, natural gas, hydroelectric, and petroleum with a small amount from solar energy, tidal harnesses, wind generators, and geothermal sources.(http://en.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/5556)

There are seven methods of directly transforming other forms of energy into electrical energy. First, static electricity, from the physical separation and transport of charge, for examples: turbo electric effect and lightning. Second, electromagnetic induction, where an electrical generator, dynamo or alternator transforms kinetic energy into electricity. Third, electrochemistry, the direct transformation of chemical energy into electricity, as in a battery, fuel cell. Next, photoelectric effect, the transformation of light into electrical energy, as in solar cells. Thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electricity, as in thermocouples, and thermionic converters. Next, piezoelectric effect, from the mechanical strain of electrically anisotropic molecules or crystals. Last, nuclear transformation, the creation and acceleration of charged particles, for examples: alpha particle emission. (http://wapedia.mobi/en/Power_generation)

The differences between Saudi Arabia, Argentina and Australia in schools and government

The differences between Saudi Arabia, Argentina and Australia in schools and government 

      In every country there are different kinds of rule and there is a different culture. Because a people have many ways to think about it. That we see also in choosing the government, but this is not the same in each country. In some countries the people can elect their government. In this article I will describe how they choose their governments and the school systems between three countries, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Argentina and Australia.

     First, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia the government is rule by the king. Then The Council of Ministers; if they agree with the new king, he will be the king after the older king but most kings were agreed in KSA from the kings’ families. On the other hand the schools were started in KSA in 1960 which was just for boys and the girls schools started in 1980. There are three levels in KSA schools. The first level is elementary school where they study for six years, then middle schools for three years and higher schools for three years.

    Second, in Argentina the government is accepted by nomination of the Governor for four years. If the people of Argentina agree with the council of government, then there will be a governor for four years then he will change. The age should be between 18 to 70 years old. The schools in Argentina are for both sexes. They start their study from six to seven years old until they finish middle schools. Then they take a real exam for their writing, for high schools and colleges.

      Third, in Australia the government is democratically elected. Because Britain colonized Australia so now Australia has the same rules which Britain has with some differences. The schools in Australia are mostly government schools and a quarter of the schools are private.

In conclusion, there are many causes which make countries different in their thinking and opinion.

The Samba Is Dead

Francisco Moraes is like his club team, Flamengo. His skin is bronzed by years of bicycling around Rio de Janeiro. Moraes may well be Brazil’s most famous football fan over the last 40 years and he has traveled to watch Brazil at every World Cup. He went to a lot of cups, from Mexico 1970, to USA 1994, to Germany 2006. He also has someone to help him. He is a great man in Brazil. His name is Zico. He books him with tickets and everything. But even he may not be prepared for what’s happened to his beloved city. There is no avoiding the change that is afoot in the land of caipirinhas and capoeira. The police have embarked on a campaign to take back Rio's poor favelas from violent druglords. A recent cover of The Economist shows an illustration of that statue launching like the space shuttle from Corcovado. Fueled by mass-scale ethanol production and the discovery of new deep-sea oil fields, Brazil is expected to pass Britain and France sometime within the next 15 years to become the world's fifth largest economy. Goldman Sachs included the South American giant in its prediction of four economies, along with Russia, India and China, that will dominate the 21st century. The country won the rights to host the 2014 World Cup and now Rio has been granted the 2016 Olympics.

My Introduction

My name is Omar Yaqoob Yousef Al Harmi. I am nineteen years old. I am studying at Abu Dhabi Men’s College. I have a family which contains nine people who are a father, a mother, two sisters and five brothers.

My older sister is married and she has a beautiful daughter, my niece. Her name is Rowdah; she is two years old and she looks like me and I think she will have the same personality. We live in Al Wathba; it is almost fifty kilometers from the capital city Abu Dhabi. It is a wonderful place.

I like playing football, watching TV and seeing action movies. Last summer, I travelled to Oman with my friend. Every morning I get up at 7:00 clock, and drive my car to the college.

I am studying Electronic Engineering like my father. Moreover, I am looking forward to working in a big company in the future in order to achieve my dreams, and get a good salary so that will help me to educate my children very well, and see them achieving their goals in front of my eyes.
