Final reflection

       Writing about the two articles was for me a very difficult; however I had difficulty because this is my first time write an article and also faced some difficulties in the search for references that relate to the article that I wrote about it. For the time the teacher has given us enough time to write the first article, but in the second article he gave us a short period not exceeding three weeks to write the second article, but I was up to the challenge that I faced in the writer two articles. I will not forget my teacher’s advice that has helped me develop my level of writing that made me I could write two articles, But I will not forget the help of my friends who helped me in the ideas and the search for sources from the Internet and specifically (Saeed) Who has experience in writing articles and take out the information from the internet is quite easy. From my opinion I have benefited a lot of stuff that I took in this article and made ​​me developed myself in writing, this is not only the first step in the way of learning to write articles and projects that will write it down through my studies and my career.

 The story of stuff

Introduction:

In these days our lifestyle demands increased consumption and increased production and all this affects negatively on the environment because it is material that we take from the environment. In recent years the proportion of environmental pollution increased because of factory waste and air pollution the five steps are: extraction, production, distribution, consumption, and disposal.

Extraction:

The first step is extraction which means taking out something from its place. This process takes a lot of efforts because we need workers and machines to extract these raw materials and so it causes pollution as we are using machines that work for hours or even days. It produces a lot of waste as well as destroying the nature and natural habitat of animals like when cutting trees from forests. Moreover, this process is not cheap as companies need to pay the laborers and take land that costs a lot so they can use it for their benefit. A lot of work must be put in it to acquire profits from the process.

Production:

Production is defined as “In the production stage, we use energy to add toxic chemicals to the natural resources to make toxic products” (Story of stuff, 2007). Humans look to extract a lot of productions through the environment and this has negative t and positive effects. But they add chemicals to production materials and this is causing health problems for the environment. For example: waste, water depletion and toxic pollution result in the destruction of some of the things like the environment and the livelihoods of other people. Moreover, workers in the factories must be paid and so the company must regulate this issue so they can achieve the necessary profits from the process of the whole business. Necessary

Distribution:

The third step at this process is called distribution “Distribution involved transporting and selling al the stuff quickly and cheaply”(Story of stuff,2007).Distribution needs to be a lot of things, for example, labor, transport and money so any producing company must have to deal with the distributor of products. Distribution is known that consists of three types first: the exclusive distribution. For example, the distribution of international brands (Armani, Burberry, and Dior) and the sale is in the same shop's. Secondly: non-exclusive distribution like foods and normal things. The last type, consumption chosen: this distribution is by choosing of the particular places allow them to sell these products

Consumption:

The other step at this process is called consumption “Current consumption patterns are unsustainable and inequitable and must be changed”(Story of stuff,2007).Furthermore, consumption is very important factor because it is what makes the economy work, people buy products to use them in their daily life and make their lives easier and more enjoyable. Shops sell their products with low prices so people are attracted to the item and buy it but products break in a short time and this forces people to buy new products again or sometimes companies create advertisements to brainwash the consumers so they throw their old products and buy the new version of the old product.

Disposal:

Almost all of the resources that are used through consumption eventually end as waste material and must be disposed of for example, burned waste produces poisonous products. The best way is recycling products but this method will not solve the whole problem. This requires a lot of effort and the most importantly we must reduce consumption and this matter of the almost difficulty, and if they do not get rid of the waste this will cause problems for the environment, health and workers. For example, firstly the environment: waste caus environmental pollution because it goes to waste incinerators and this causes air, water and land pollution. Secondly health: emissions that come out of incinerators cause a range of health effects that cause health problems to the workers who work in incinerating factories and also for animals and plants.

Consumerisms in the UAE:

In UAE we like big cars with big engines that are not fuel efficient. The people here have high income and so they buy a lot of things and they don’t care about the negative outcome. Also, people here buy things just to show people that they could buy, to look good, to stay with fashion trends. For example, buying the newer version of the same phone every time a new phone is introduced to the market.

Conclusion:

In summary if we continue consuming like we do now there will be no safe life due it is environment pollution which will lead to health problem. We could solve it by educating people about what will happen if continue that way and by trying to find ways to limit pollution, but never the less we need factories because it create job.

essay 1

Bluetooth

In this essay I will talk about Bluetooth. It is named after Denmark and King Harald Blatand. we are always developing in this world we try to find ways that will help us to communicate better and connect us with others through technology one way is the Bluetooth, “Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances ,using short-wavelength radio transmissions in the ISM band from 2400–2480 MHz” (Wikipedia ,2012) which allow any two devices, such as laptop, notebook, phones and others to implement the process to connect wirelessly using radio waves, short-term. You can use this technique to the operation and use of a number large computers and communication devices in simple and quick cable without the need to install and dismantle and buy.

So here the importance of the fact that Bluetooth to cancel the cables used in data transmission, which involves the provision of 30% of the cost of building any network, and save a lot of space that the wiring takes it. In 1980, attempts were made to connect various devices in a manner and a new method based on wireless connectivity. All these attempts had face some difficulties, including the additional electricity consumption, as well as the lack of clarity percentage of devices associated with each other. In 1993, 30 companies and institutions joined, including HP, IBM, and Digital, to achieve the so-called IR (Infrared Data) The purpose of the introduction of the Charter of the (protocol) approved the application of the transfer of information via wireless infrared.

Furthermore, many companies wanted to end the process of incorporation by using Ericsson to find a way to connect wireless to replace wired connectivity. Producing companies looking to Bluetooth program to develop its product so that it will become much better products than what it was. For example, increase the speed of Bluetooth and increase the room of the limits of Bluetooth. Also Bluetooth will enter the program in the development of the robot where the robot will receive information by Bluetooth and a lot of cars now have Bluetooths, so Bluetooth is everywhere in the world.

In the future maybe the scientists will develop new program better than Bluetooth but till now the Bluetooth is the best program for transfer anything. Bluetooth, the future will be good because it will be used for operating systems have native support for Bluetooth. Also companies that sponsor using Bluetooth trying to reform and increase the limited range up to 100 meters without the use of strong signal coverage, such as Nokia, and Mac.

In conclusion, I believe that the finding of Bluetooth is very good to ease some of the processes in our lives in terms of communication and transfer of data from one device to another without wires and complexity but never the less it has problems which is the limited quantity of safety and also the distance of the Bluetooth coverage although the range can be increased by other devices but it isn’t that practical but still fast in transferring data.

Houbara bustards

Main idea: Ways to maintain bustard from extinction.

Houbara are a kind of desert bird and some countries try to keep them from extinction. In 1995 the UAE produced a Center for birds in Morocco for the survival of the birds. There are a lot of goals for this center for example: increase the number of birds and train the birds to not be afraid of humans who are specialists to make the breeding process easy. And specialists watch bustards in the breeding season to examine a sample of sperm. "The success of the programme can be measured though their density in the wild and b observing the number of nests – and so far these numbers are up"(Todorova, V. 2011).
