The last few months were a refutation of self regulating capitalism and the elites who nurtured it, and many observers have warned the voters about it. Instead, Europe’s center has held steady and possibly gained strength, except for Germany, France, Britain and small countries like Latvia and Ukraine.The reason for the failure of the crisis to translate into a boost for the extremes is because economic crises tend to rally voters around their existing leadership. Some voters have greater confidence in the mainstream parties to keep the economy stable. Even though left-wing utopia is good for a protest vote as Thomas Petersen says but still few citizens want to be led by the untested leadership of the populist fringe. Of course these are early days, and the bottom is still a long way off. If the crisis lasts a couple of years and none of the mainstream parties can solve it, then voters will give extremists a try says Mudde.California governor Arnold Schwarznenegger gave a lecture at the CeBIT, and his words were inspiring to Deutsche Telekom which are looking to the U.S operations for green innovationj.

Summary of Hajar Mountains

Wadi Wurayah is located in Hajar Mountains in the Emirate of Fujairah. It is special location that has waterfall and streams around rocky outcrops. This Wadi is 169 sq km area which is rich of different rare species of birds, animals and plants such as Arabian tahr, Arabian leopard, caracal lynx, freshwater fish the garra barreimiea and wild orchid. A team was selected to protect this area after the issuance of a decree through the ruler of Fujairah. The main threats that face the Wadi are hunting wild animals, throwing litter by visitors and over use of water that feeds the Wadi. That’s why many procedures will be followed to protect the area. Firstly, hiring local people to stop hunting rare animals and avoid littering by visitors. Secondly, establishing a visitor center, camping areas and more to organize the visits of people to the area by the municipality. Thirdly, following the WWF international standards, International Union for Conservation of Nature and the United Nations Scientific and Cultural Organizations. Finally, looking for a sponsor to finance the project.
