Crime in the UAE




The crime has increased in Abu Dhabi and it has even reached the neighborhoods where the family lives; the killing crimes have reached the neighborhoods and Abu Dhabi is not safe anymore.

The definition of a crime is "an act or omission which is prohibited by criminal law and punished, usually by fine or imprisonment." (Odgers, W. B., the Common Law of England). The USA has suffered from the crime from the Mafia to the drugs gangs.According to the website (www.odmp.org) in 2009, in the whole of the USA 126 officers were killed while they did their duty. Even if there are no K.I.A (Killed In Action) in the UAE the crime has increased and specially in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Most types of crimes are in the GCC and not in the UAE only:drug gangs, rapes and the financial crimes have increased in a scary way in the last few years. The important reason for that increase is the method of the police in the UAE; they do not use the basic rules of safety in the street. The second reason is when the criminal comes with new ways the police in the UAE do not have any experience to deal with the new problem. The third, and I think this is the most dangerous one, is what the police officers have learned when they leave the police academy. They do not take anything seriously; only if one day we hear that an officer has been killed by a terrorist of by the Mafia so the police departments will weaken and find themselves with a big problem.
Before we think about the solution, what is the Mafia "The Mafia is oppression, arrogance, greed, self-enrichment, power and hegemony above and against all others"(Cesare Terranova, The Mafia, www.bestofsicily.com) so if the police want to deal with this type of organization the police should be ready to face this threat.
The first solution is that the headquarters of the police should tell every department be aware of dangers in every corner of the city even if we live in peace because one day everything will change. We are not an ideal people in this land and we are like anyone in this world. Second take the experience from the UK police and the USA FBI because they have good experience about the serial killers, organized crimes and the Mafia because the Americans have been dealing with it since the mid- 1930's . Third make a federal office in each city so we have the officers who work and solve the cases of serial killers, big robberies and kidnappings. They will improve the crime scene investigation departments so they will be able to solve the hardest crimes and find the killer.

"The police are called upon to maintain the balance between freedom and security" (Monica M. Moll, Sergeant). What the sergeant said is the general goal of the police which is that we feel safe when we see the officer.

In summary, the police work in the UAE should be developed. I'm not saying that I know more than any officer in the UAE but this is what I see and this is my observation about the police work in the UAE so in the end I hope they change the careless approach so we feel more peaceful. I hope that they know that we are not an ideal society and what I am afraid for in the future is that one day we will hear that an officer has been shot down while doing his duty. And I know from some people who I know very well and work in the police that they bring people from the UK and the USA but this is only the first step and we hope that we see the second step.

The computer


The question that many people will ask is who invented the computer? It's hard to answer this question because it's not one man who invented this amazing machine. Every part in this machine had an inventor who made it and all these parts come together to make the computer . The computers are different today from the first computer which was made in 1936 before WW2 but this technology was not used in the WW2 but today these accurate devices are used everywhere: in the office paper work , the police station , in the municipality , in train systems and even in the complex planes. This beautiful device has made our life easier in our paper work, in the design for the engineers , for the detectives to analyse the crime and know the criminals as soon as possible to keep our society safe and secure to our children even it helps to improve the education for all levels from the basic to the high level education by showing the student in the class how to do something and make the education journey more fun and let the children love to learn anything and this is because of the computers. And in the future this device will make our life a lot easier than today. In the future a robot will go to the moon or any planet depending on the accurate computers which are remotely controlled. This type of technology has a good future and everyone likes it. Even in the entertainment there are about 11 million players online for one game called World War Craft ( world war craft official website ) and this is only one game in which we can contact with anyone in the world. Our planet has become a small village and if you want to know how to make anything or know any historical events you can know it from the internet which only works with a computer.


The improvement of the computer takes a long time to reach the point we used it today. The first one who put the basic of the world of the computer is Konrad Zuse and this was in 1936 by making the first free programmer and its called " Z1 computer ". In 1942 during the WW2 Finch John Atanasoff & Clifford Berry make first computing program for the businessmen but there was some difficulty in using the program so it did not see the light that time; they called it ABC computer . In 1944 two men from Harvard University Howard Aiken & Grace Hopper made a computer for the university. They called it Harvard Mark I computer; it only did simple tasks but " requiring 3-5 seconds for a multiplication operation " (Mary Bellis inventors.about.com). In 1946 John Presper Eckert & John W. Mauchly made ENIAC I (Electrical Numerical Integrator And Calculator ); they were sponsord by the U.S Army. The army needed it to calculate for the artillery firing table and inside this computer 20000 tubes and it was huge. In 1955 the army shutoff "ENIAC I" . In 1948 Frederic Williams & Tom Kilburn Manchester Baby Computer & The Williams Tube this computer succeeded in displaying video but it wasn't clear but the important thing was the large amount of RAM which means Random Access Memory. Between 1947 to 1948 John Bardeen, Walter Brattain & William Shockley didn't invent a computer but changed the history " This group included computers using Random Access Memory (RAM)" ( William ,www.thocp.net.com ). . And the history of the developing of the computer is a long so I will go direct to the latest period of the computer. In 1984 Apple Macintosh Computer it’s a system program that organizes your desktop and the software that you use even the Microsoft Windows has the same type of program that Apple use but Microsoft came late and they made Windows 1984 and still the competition between these two companies go until our day " That promise was never kept" (Mary Bellis inventors.about.com ).
The developing in the computer still continues and there are some challenges for the scientists and the programmer people who wait to solve some challenges. I think that in the soon future the invention will be in many fields in the computer but I will mention some of it. When we write our first language you can translate it in any language; this is from the program but from the hardware side I think there will be huge changes especially that the demand of the users of this technology will increase and the producers will compete between themselves to have contact with the governments, school, companies and higher education organization ( colleges and universities ) .


In summary, I think the computer can solve many problems and fast so thanks for everyone who help to develop this idea; thanks for all who established the beginning of the computer era and we will continue to develop this machine and I believe that this device will solve the problems in the future as it solved them in our era and no body know who will be the new developer like Bill Gates and he said " Dropping out of college is not good idea" (Bill Gates, The Economic Times) .

The security of the mobile ( research skill 1 )

The security of the mobile
Nowadays the security of the handheld device is more difficult than before and the student and the staff in the university should change their username and their password as one of the important security policy in the universities.

The Georgia Tech Information Security Center (GTISC) make a study about the threat of the cybercriminal that they will attack in open rang in the future, Malware and botnets will do for the first time a software for the mobile phones.

Traynor got a huge support " $ 500000 National Science Foundation" ( Rama Ramaswami P17) to have a solution, the most problem that face the problem is how they secure the handheld, Network separation was not good idea to solve the problem but its will not continue for a long time, Rama said that Trayonr was complain about how it's difficult (Ramaswami Rama P18 ).

Another solution was to control the students and the staff by using a monitor unit in the universities but the student and the staff don't like it take their freedoms and their rights.

Rama said it's hard to prevent the cybercriminals in the present time (Ramaswami Rama p 18) so far the researcher still try to find solution

Research skill 3








(B) Scan the articles and fill in the blanks in the table below:

Bugatti

Price: $2.9 Million


Top speed : 400 Kmph


0-60mph : 2.3 seconds


Horse power : 1001

Torque : 922

Weight : 1888




Porsche 911 turbo

Price : $132600

Top speed : 194 mph

0-60mph : 3.5

Horse power : 500

Torque : 516 (Ib-ft)

weight : 1570



Porsche 911 turbo VS Bugatti





Nowadays the sports cars are more in demand from the rich people day after day; even the ordinary people like to have sports cars and they like to feel power and luxury when they are in the street these days so I will compare and contrast about Porsche 911 turbo and the Bugatti Veyron and discuss the interesting points about these two cars.

The similarities are few and not that much but we will talk about the biggest similarity; both of them are sport cars and luxurious; both of them are popular, even if expensive, and both cars have ESP system.

On the other hand the differences are more than the similarities. The Bugatti Veyron is faster than the Porsche 911 turbo; the horsepower in the Bugatti is the strongest car in the world so even if we compare the horsepower of the Porsche 911 turbo it's nothing like the Bugatti. It takes 2.5 seconds for the Bugatti to reach from 0 to 60 mph. On the other hand the Porsche 911 turbo needs 3.5 seconds to reach the same speed from 0 to 60 mph but the most incredible difference between this two cars are the number of the cylinders. In the Bugatti there are 12 cylinders to support the huge engine, " but if we talk about the weight we will see the Bugatti is heavier than the Porsche 911 turbo" ( Bugatti staff , official website ).

There are some interesting points for both cars " The Porsche 911 turbo has two gear boxes and this makes the customers have more choices " ( staff of Porsche , official website ) but the Bugatti has a good history in making speed cars but not in the luxury car so that’s why the Porsche is more popular with people than the Bugatti in the last century, " 407 Kmph !!! but the fuel will finish in 12 minutes " (James, Top gear show , BBC TV).

In summary, I think that the more reasonable choice is the Porsche 911 turbo if you want a strong car but I'm not one of the people who like the sport car because you still get stuck with the traffic laws but between these two cars as I said I will choose the Porsche for three reasons; first as a sport car it's cheep; the customer can choose the gear box witch affects the speed of the car; finally it looks nice when you drive it in the street.
