The action in India had raised a lot of criticism and praises. If this time the Nano car company did a successful decision, everyone waited to see what would happen in the end. Under the world economic depression, the car company decided to release this new kind of car. Is it can called a car? At least there are four tires of every wheel. As Tata Motors struggles with production problems and a huge debt load, Tata might take a great risk to produce this innovative car. Another attractive point was the four-seater Nano's fuel efficiency is 5 liters per 100 kilometer. In the skyrocketing oil price world, that was how a big deadly lure for the consumer to purchase this one. Consumer behavior can be stimulated simply by the economic issues we're facing todayBut there were also some drawbacks, one of those was If you hit a deer with the Nano, joked one commentator on the site, "you have to ride the deer to work." It seemed ridiculous but it would actually happened if the safety function was not practicing well
If the Nano is successful, it will open the market for others, Mr. Sinharoy aman who always criticized the car on the market. If so, Nano really operate a new field for other car manufacturers to battle but Nano could sat and rest because they stepped in the market earlier.

This kind of article in nowadays and it appears so often that we people are scared by those so called professional scholars have talked a lot about the economic recession. They always warn us that the worst condition has not come yet. Before this terrible trend, there was also a phenomenon called subprimemortage. It had caused a horrible job-losing trend and it had led to a huge crowd of people lost job and however nowadays we are in an economic storm, which we used to see it as the most terrible economic recession that it is the most worst situation that after world war two.
We people now may can not bear the pressure from our daily life and it may cause over drink over domestic abuse or something hurt themselves or the people who love them. In America, someone will abandon themselves in drinking.
We read an article about the campaigning and commerce about the vodka. The authority has put their power on banning the manufacturer of the liquor has to warn their customers not to drink too much. However, there still someone hold the different idea toward this object.
Maybe it is good to drink to make ourselves relax for a while but if it is get over the regulation it will become terrible and not for fun.

According to Elliott's “Ireland orders new probe into Catholic sex abuse”, he roughly portrayed the complex relation in the religious areas where there was especially pious in Europe. He let us know the problem had existed long in the religion.
The news started with the bishop mishandling the scandal happening in his diocese. The two priests who were accused of molesting young girls and grown women. The bishop once thought he could hide the truth from the masses but his judgement
was absolutely wrong then. And this scandal in the church seemed to have existed for a long time. The first time the investigator looked into this event and the Roman Catholic bishop did not say the truth to them. It is not until last summer the whole scandal finally broke out and because of his misleading of the whole event the bishop was finally pressed to resign his position by the Children's Minister.
The entire affair exposed the prolonged contradiction in the Catholic.
Maybe it is right in the Ireland where there has been plenty of confrontation between the Christian and the Catholic, the two hostile organization, so that this causes a lot of problem. (196)

My reaction:
According to John Carvel’s “New year surge in divorce rate predicted”, he mentions the phenomenon that occurs in the Britain. He plots a image that will happen in the following 2009.
The divorce rate in England, the author thought there might be a surge in the early January, will be much severer than any other month in 2008. The LGA said it appeared that mortgage arrears were driving more people's relationships on to the rocks. It predicted that marital problems would reach a crisis point in early January, when divorce proceedings can be 50% higher than at any other time of year. The 50% of the divorce rate was such a terrible number when it was compared to other countries.
The horrible scene appears in the next year may be a result of the economic depression. The recession we are in now put a lot of families in a deteriorating situation. Many of them could not bear the financial burden from their family and company. They not only have to sway over the thundering period of this stage but should sustain their life lest the family supporting by them should collapse.
It seems that there is every reason to push to responsibility to the economic aggravation. It is the truth seen by the appearance of the depression but what inside the economic depression still remains a lot of opportunities for people but they do not want have it because it is not worth of their value and you called this kind of people should be saved by the social welfare, I am afraid not.

According to JAMES FLANIGAN’s “Software That Opens Worlds to the Disabled”, he showed us a new system for the public but special for the vision or physical disabled.
I saw the topic about the disabled and it raised my interest to take a look of what the author’s view toward the subject. What the major center the concerned about was what and how they could do for the disabled. There is a engineer working for NASA preparing a project called “Project:Possibility”, and he created a chance for the people who seemed not so similar as the normal people. The effort is centered at the University of Southern California and led by volunteers who were willing to devote themselves to help the people who could not do what we normal human could do.
In 2007, they organized a competition called “Code for a Cause” in which 25 students in five teams engaged in a weekend of intense computer code-writing this program even attract the high executive of google &Microsoft. They are the people who gather simultaneously and never bear the thought of wasting time or something discriminating the disabled.
Without revenue and without pay for participants. Its programs belong to the nonprofit project and to the University of Southern California. Its sole source of financing was a $15,000 grant in early 2008 from the Mozilla Foundation. They are charitable company that donate to support the campaign and to raise a foundation for the minor group.

According to BEN SHPIGEL’s “For $37 Million, Mets Get a Closer With Charisma”, he exposed the phenomenon that players in the major actually faces and gave us little impression of what the inner system of the major baseball league like.
When firstly I saw the topic of the this article, I was most attracted by its interesting opening “$37 Million.” I wondered if any corporation would that high price just for a baseball player. But I thought it more deeply not only for the player himself but also for the company which could afford it, I realized that they, the company, was willing to pay that high price because the fame and the extra revenue the corporation got was much more uncountable if that prestigious professional player joined them.
Our country also has a famous player who had rolled around in the minor league in America for a number of years and he is a national hero now called “Wang” or even “Tiger Wang” by the New Yorker. I still clearly remembered he was prompted to the higher level by the year 2005. At that time, I did not really identify with his pitching ability but never had I thought he could stand erectly in the major Yankees where there is full of ferocious competition despite of now or ever.
I think every player definitely worth their price. Because the arm they used for earning their living could not be used for such a long time as 10 or 20 years so just like doctor profession they just earn the future that other also will get for after many years.

This article, I think, is not a formal reflection as I had ever written before but it is an interesting article I find in Times. I want to give you a new topic toward the world in this time for weblog.
Who will be the person of the year 2008? The CNN has listed plenty of names on the page and the man who at the top of that poll is the newly president election winner Obama. But in my opinion I take Mr. Al Gore as my first choice if you let my choose who was the man for the year 2008.
The reason why I want to select this person for my choice is that he proposed a critical problem for our Mother Earth. Al Gore, the ex-vice president, he devoted himself into the so called green house effect the most deteriorating situation the whole human beings encounter now. But where I think he did the greatest for our human was the identity he bore and he was willing to blame the U.S that they just concerned the rapid development of industry and gasoline as a vice president and a white man.
The web page has given us a lot of choice to let us select one for that interesting poll.
Obama gained many upholders that the second place still had a much more space to work on. I do not prefer Obama as the person of 2008 is because his influence did not come from the beginning to the end of 2008 and maybe he will show his overwhelming ability to lead the great American back to where they should be though they were almost beaten over that past lots of months.
