I had listened one podcast:

I had listened the first part of the podcast, two times. I had faced some new words while listening the podcast, and tried simply to understand their meanings. 

Internet is really our "friend" and the following article is about the controlling "our friend" and restricting the appearance of some of its servers.

A REAL BATTLE COMING UP OVER THE WWW!

Internet is an essence part of most people's lives, all over the world. Everyone likes it, because it's unrestricted and wholly independent to "walk through our one of the best friend - internet". Most of us have never wished the controlling of "our friend".

But nowadays, most governments aim to control the World Wide Web, especially, China. As Chinese consist a 43% of all net users, all over the world.

The main objective in controlling the internet, or net restricting, for most countries, is to fight against dangerous information, such as pornography. In addition, Pakistan restricts anti Islamic comments, and Iran restricts political materials. USA, as one of the biggest net user, suggests the internet companies to restrict the services, some. 

As it was mentioned, net has beautiful and harmful sides. The beauty of net is that, it's open to everyone is same familiar in WWW. On other hand, it has harmful sides, that as for more users, the aren't dangerous, at all. And that's why, there appear two opposite tendency: governments, that aim to restrict the independence of WWW, and users, that won't be simply agree with the governments.

In spite of these, some companies, such as Apple, think, the consumers prefer the controlled WWW. Though the absolutely effective result hasn't given yet, Apple and some other companies have already practiced the controlled net system in produced technologies.

       But, nowadays, controlling in the Information Technologies sphere is going to be improved and this tendency will be continued in the future, too.

China and the Euro

Here is the podcast, I listened:

BBC Daily World News Service / 28.05.2010 /

I had listened only the first part of the podcast, three times.  As usual, there had been some unclear words an phrases, whic I faced while listening to this podcast. Even there had been unclear words, that I hadn't been able to understand at all.On the whole, the given problems is too interesting and really actual. And it worth reading and treating.

So, as for me this article will interest you, too.

      Though China could survive in the crisis, some countries of the Eurozone haven't survived yet. And the Euro crisis makes particular problems in economic life of both China and the EU. As the EU is the China's biggest trading partner, in China businesses are troubled by the problems in the Eurozone. As for some businessmen, the main problem is the deficit of demand  in Europe, for the exported goods. Some companies are seriously affected by the problems in the EU, and some others are still fighting against the results of the financial crisis. At the result, during this period, profits of most companies have come down.

      The reason, why most Chinese companies face disadvantage, is the economic situation in the big European countries, such as, France, Germany and Netherlands. Because, the countries, mentioned above, are the main consumers of the chinese companies.

       But in fact, most business operations are run in US dollars, that's why, the Euro crisis hasn't been able to damage the Chinese economy. 

      On other hand, in spite of everything, the Euro crisis doesn't affect the effort of the central European nations th join the single currency blog - the Euro. The question is, why the countries still want to join the Euro!? Specialists explain this situation, so: "It's a right choice for small economies to be within Eurozone, since common monetary policy should help the countries in long term perspectives.
