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.

The security of the mobile ( research skill 1 )

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

The women in China's countryside

China is at the top of the countries where the women kill themselves.
Traditional habits in China specially in the countryside, mean the suicide rate is high with women. In the village she can find poison and the women are acting impulsively.
Marriage in the countryside is like buying and selling a product. 70%-80% of the woman who commit suicide do so because of conflict between husband and wife, and if she asks for divorce she loses the financial support from her family. Some women think that the suicide will give a message to the husband, but the government passed laws to prevent it.
Some organizations help the women in the village by teaching them in schools.
Some woman work in the cities and most of them are in their 20's and many have been sexually abused by their boss in the work.

Main Idea
China has the biggest numbers of suicides by women because of the traditions and the buying and selling in marriage.

Comment
My opinion is that the government should solve this problem not only by putting laws.
It should establish social organizations that stand and support the women in the village.
