Interview to Mohammad

On February 22, 2011,I asked Mohanmad 5 questions about computer hacking. According his answers, his computer has been hacked before by facebook. The hacking on facebook has been common recently. Actually I have experienced that at once because my password was so easy. His idea to protect from hacking is to make difficult password. He thinks if someone commit this crime, police should bring him to jail as punishment. If punishment  is heavy, everyone may hesitate to hack. Hacking is not common in Saudi Arabia.  I and he don't know why. Anyway, we should  make punishment heavy to protect from hacking.

Global obesity rate doubles

FEBRUARY 15, 2011
Obesity rates  worldwide have doubled in the last three decades even as blood pressure and cholesterol levels have dropped, according to three new studies. People in pacific Island nation such as American Samoa are the heaviest, one of the studies shows. Among developed countries, Americans are the fattest and the Japanese the slimmest. "Being obese is no longer just a Western problem," said Majid Ezzati, a professor of public health at Imperial College London, one of the study's authors. In 1980, five percent of men and eight percent of women worldwide were obese. By 2008, the rates were nearly 10 percent for men and 14percent for women.

No electronic defects in Toyotas 

FEBRUARY 15
Electronic flaws weren't to blame for the reports of sudden, unintended acceleration that led to the recall of thousands of Toyota vehicles, the U.S. government said Feb. 8. Some of the acceleration cases could have been caused by mechanical defects — sticking accelerator pedals and gas pedals that can become trapped in floor mats — that have been dealt with in recalls, the government said. And in some cases, investigators suggested, drivers simply hit the gas when they meant to press the brake.

Behaviors my parents taught me

One of behaviors my parents taught me is greeting someone I meet with a smile. My grandmother was a principal. She was kind of famous person among local teachers because of  her character of funny, unique, and cheerful. So, even my teacher knew her. I still remember that when I met my teacher for the first time, my teacher ask me“Are you Ms.Eto’s grandchild?”  I was surprised! If I am with my grandmother or my parents, we often see people they knew them.  And then, of course, I also have to greet them. My parents and my grand mother have taught me to greet someone I met with a smile since I was a child because they believe greeting is very important thing. They said to me that greeting is a go-between for people. They also told me that if people greet someone with smile, someone get to feel good. I agreed with them. So, I decided to do every time I see someone.
