The Rolls Royce Ghost








The Rolls Royce Ghost


The new Rolls Royce car named the Ghost has a hidden revelation other than the first perception you receive when seeing the auto. The inner spirit of the car is revealed once you drive it. First is a reference to how the slender steering wheel will make you a less aggressive driver. “The seats are like a pillow, the view is regal” as stated by Top Gear editor Tom Ford. This suggests the ride of luxury. The engine is comparative to the Phantom model. This all forms a car that is supposed to be a smaller sportier model. Of course, looking at it you would find it hard to tell that, as it is only 18 inches smaller than the huge Phantom. At a slow speed you get a smooth ride as compared to a big limousine. It will manage 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds and above 80 the car springs into life and roars down the road like a sports car should, with a limiter installed however, that will only allow the auto to 155mph. The handling through the curves is surprisingly agile for the size of the car. The interior is of course loaded with multifunctional night and side view cameras and SATNAV.


The article also includes the reference of the name “Ghost” to a Castle in England that was visited in the auto. The castle that has had many persons killed inside creating the rumor of it being haunted by the ghosts of those deceased. The subtle undertone of the story tells of the luxury car richness as in a castle and the name the “Ghost”, as is prevalent in the older English castles, is a sign of prominence and wealth.

The Eighth Wonder Of The World






The Eighth Wonder Of The World





Summary

It’s hard to find water in Libya because it’s a desert country. In 1969 the industrialisation put a strain on water supplies when Moammer Al Qadhafi deposed King Idris. The economists decided to construct a network pipelines to transport water from the desert to the cities. The project was started in 1984 by engineers from foreign countries. In September 1993 phase 1 began: water from eastern well-fields reached Benghazi. In 1996 phase 2 : bringing water to Tripoli from western well-fields. Phase 3 : links the first two phases but was still not finished
in 2006. In future it’s unsure how long the water will last.

The main idea

The main idea of the article is that Libyan people faced the problem of limited supply of fresh water and created a plan to transport water from the desert to the main cities.

The opinion


In my opinion finding water nowadays is hard in the desert and too expensive. It is cheaper to analyze sea water by using oil to run the factories. In future we will see water wars between countries because of the limitation of fresh water in the earth. Countries will compete to control the source of fresh water in the world.
