Traffic congestion

Traffic congestion has become a phenomenon and is one of the most 
serious problems affecting the UAE community. There are many 
negative aspects of this congestion on the individual and on society. 
One of the causes of the problem of traffic congestion is the 
presence of government ministries in the capital - Abu Dhabi - 
especially in the diplomatic area and this leads to the scramble of 
cars in the streets and roundabouts surrounding these bodies, which 
impedes the flow of traffic. Some argue that increased population 
density and the survival of an old network of roads and bridges 
should lead to the emergence of a lot of problems, first and foremost 
the problem of traffic congestion. The general opinion is that 
roundabouts should be replaced by signal lights. Today there are a 
lot of people who do not understand the rules and make the habitual mistakes. For example, they climb the sidewalks and go in the opposite 
direction of the people and some  people who drive without the seat belt fastened. There are also some young people who do some reckless moves and that causes accidents. Also 
we usually get congestion at 7:30 in the morning because a lot of people 
must go to work and when they come back from work at 
1:30 in the afternoon it also gets congested.

Public transport buses

 There are many causes of traffic congestion but the main reason is 
the focus of government ministries and agencies in the capital 
especially the diplomatic area and the resulting overcrowding of the 
cars around. In my opinion public transport buses have a significant 
role in the creation of bottlenecks especially when they stop on the 
highway to pick up individuals or to offload them thus impeding the 
traffic. The growing popularity of the buses has proved a great 
success. Some roads are closed because of repair work. The biggest 
problem in my view is the bad behavior especially by young people 
who resort to parking on the sidewalk. This bad behavior is 
not just in this country , it’s in  75% of countries in the world.

Truck congestion

There are many causes of truck congestion and this causes a lot of 
accidents. The important one is that trucks , when they deliver some 
goods from the United Arab Emirates to Saudi Arabia and near the 
border , cause congestion and they take weeks to arrive there ; also in 
the night when they go to the border there are some small holes in 
the street and that causes accidents and maybe kills the driver.

Conclusion

Finally, we should take care and don’t be reckless in 
driving because that behavior can kill a lot of people ; its not their fault ;
also we need to pay attention when we drive in the street  
and we should advise the reckless drivers to be good drivers.

There are 4 causes of congestion.

1.      Failure to comply with the  streets signs.
2.     Closure of many roads and streets.
3.      Parking at the intersection of streets.
4.      Some vendors using sidewalks to sell some goods.



And there are 4 solutions to the problem.

1.      The establishment of wide secondary roads.
2.      Take care when you drive and you should know the rules.
3.      Take care from the reckless drivers and advise them.
4.      Avoid mistakes from others.

The generators are  useful machines that do a lot of good things. In this composition, I  would like to tell you some information about the generators.Today the generators are made in a wide range of sizes, from very small machines . Generators are for the production of electricity, and produce most of the electricity  that is used by people. Electric generators are essentially very large quantities of copper wire spinning around inside very large magnets, at very high speeds.The generator can be small in size, so that it can be held in one hand. These generators are used in some small scientific equipment to generate enough electricity to move the pointer, and may be the size of a generator is greater than the size of a house, and can provide more than a million electrical power houses. For example: when  my family and I go to the desert we take a lot of things from the house like: TV, Video , Air conditioner , tent and fire.


The generator does not introduce energy, but it converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, and engineers usually refer to it as a mechanical tool, which manages the basic generator engine. In order to get additional electricity from the generator it is essential to make additional mechanical energy.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_generator



 The dynamo was the first electrical generator capable of delivering

power for industry. The dynamo uses electronic  to

convert mechanical rotation into a pulsing direct

electric current through the use of a commutator. The first dynamo

was built by Hippolyte Pixii in 1832.
Through a series of accidental discoveries, the dynamo became the
source of many later inventions, including the DC electric motor,
the AC alternator, the ACsynchronous motor, and the rotary
converter.
A dynamo machine consists of a stationary structure, which
provides a constant magnetic field, and a set of rotating windings
which turn within that field. On small machines the constant
magnetic field may be provided by one or more permanent magnets;
larger machines have the constant magnetic field provided by one
or more electromagnets, which are usually called field coils.
Large power generation dynamos are now rarely seen due to the
now nearly universal use of alternating current for power
distribution and solid state electronic  power conversion.
But before the principles of  were discovered, very large direct-
current dynamos were the only means of power generation and
distribution. Now power generation dynamos are mostly a curiosity.
This is information about the generator. The device is simple to install but of great interest, and has many important uses ranging from children's games through the household electrical devices.

The similarities and differences between UAE and Kuwait and Oman


The United Arab Emirates lies on the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula and the coastline extends along the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman and its capital is Abu Dhabi.
The State of the United Arab Emirates,was established in the second of December in the year 1971. A federal state comprising seven emirates are: - Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Ajman and Fujairah.
It is the fourth largest producer of oil in the world  . The crime rate it is one of the lowest in the world .The spread of education and the spread of health services and
the evolution of communications. Are important developments the  Arabs were in the past engaged in agriculture and diving for pearls and fishing.

Kuwait is situated in the northeastern

part of the Arabian Peninsula, at the

head of the Persian Gulf. Kuwait is

bordered on the north and west by Iraq,

on the south and west by Saudi Arabia,

and on the east by the Persian Gulf. For

many years Kuwait was a small emirate

whose economy centered on sea trade

and especially pearl exports. The
discovery of oil in the 20th
 century

transformed all aspects of Kuwaiti

society. Kuwait is one of the world's

smallest countries, occupying 17,818 sq

km (6880 sq mi). The greatest distance

from north to south is 200 km (120 mi)

and from east to west 170 km (110 mi).

Kuwait´s official language is Arabic,

which is spoken by all citizens. Both Arabic and English are taught

in Kuwaiti schools. Islam is the official religion, 85% Kuwaiti

citizens are Muslim. 15% others. In 1997 Kuwait had an estimated

population of 1,834,269. Slightly fewer than 40 percent of the

people are native Kuwaitis, while the remainders of the population,

for the most part, are foreign workers.

The sultanate of Oman lies on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula.  The Sultanate of Oman has attractive tourist sites, valleys, deserts, beaches, and mountains that make it distinct from other GCC states. Jebel Shams is the tallest mountain, the highest point in the region, also famous for the existence of places for camping, too. Most of the major shopping centers are in Muscat, the capital, where  the Muscat City Centre is the largest of these centers, and other tourist activities are sand skiing, mountain climbing, camel racing, and camping.

summary :

 In the US, housing is central to the economy, to the financial system, and to the society. It has failed. And with it the consumer economy has lost its main support; so, too, have employment, taxation, the social contract and governance. The replacement, in each case, is fear. And not far behind the fear is the gathering recognition of doom, that collapse is just off stage, waiting.
There is no rational way to discuss one aspect or another of the hydra facing us. Yes, fraudulent affidavits were used to keep foreclosure mills running. Why not? The mortgages were frauds at inception – deceitful loans made to deceitful buyers. The fraudulent mortgages were quickly passed on to the slice and dice middle-men who knew what they were cutting up was fraudulent but didn't care as long as they could pass it on – nudge, nudge, wink, wink – as MBS were given fraudulently high ratings by firms that were no better than houses of prostitution. A “service” industry grew up that was designed to keep all the players fat, dumb and happy until they were starved, very unhappy, but still greedy, still dumb.
The housing market has disappeared into the hated federal government – no one else would lend money into such a market, nor offer MBS stuffed with fraudulent documents and backed by no-loss covenants. All the banks do is collect fees and distribute bonuses.
The rule of law disappeared along with the magic of deregulation – what are laws except inconvenient constraints on profits? Common sense left town years ago. Readers ask why I've not written about the 'foreclosure fraud'. This is why: it is too big to grasp. We are living in a world made by fraud and it cannot but all fall down. Anyone who thinks this is all trivial technicalities is wrong.
I truly thought our doom would flow from the increasing decline in petroleum production, years from now. I was wrong.
