the simalarities are the testing iranian missles and global warming
ReplyDeleteFixie-fixed wheeled bikes with no gears or free wheel mechanism
ReplyDeleteBoth The Washington Post and the Sydney Morning Herald have headlines about Iran's recent testing of a missle, as well as articles on global warming. Both of these articles are about things that are important no matter where you are in the world. The Iranian test-missle is first on both websites, probably because the knowledge that Iran has advanced missles is something that all governments now need to be careful of.

ReplyDeleteThe two Newspapers share multiple headlines including the ones about Iran’s nuclear test firings and climate change. This is because both of these are global issues.
A Fixie is a fixed-geared bicycle or a Fixxed Wheeled bicycle.
"IRAN TEST FIRES ITS MOST ADVANCED MISSLE"
ReplyDeleteA fixie is a fixed gear bike without a free wheel where the pedals and wheel don't turn independently but are locked together and whenever the wheel is spinning the pedals are spinning. I ride a fixie dawggggg.
Both papers spoke of iran testinng missles and global warming.
ReplyDeletefixie- bike with no gears or single speed
yes, there are similaries to our newspaper. In our newspaper and the smh.com.au/world/ link, iran's test firings of a missle are noted. I think test- firing makes good practice for "defending and preventing". Global Warming is noted in both. This is because global warming had impacted our environment in more than one way and is changing continuously as time goes on.
ReplyDeleteBoth the Herald and the Washington post wrote about Iran's test firing missle and the increasing global warming. Global warming is affecting Australia by creating droughts and in the Post, a world newspaper, global warming is concerning everyone. The missle from Iran is said to be able to hit Jeruselam the eve of Yom Kuppar which could create a war and this concerns everyone.

ReplyDeleteThe major headline both websites is that both show a major deal with weaponry made by other countries for example, Iran test launch it's new advanced missle. Another are climate change. It's major due to that both are global problems.
A fixe is a fixed-geared bike which most couriers prefer.
fixie- bike with no gears or single speed
ReplyDeleteBoth paper's first headlines are pertaining to test firing.This major headline is shared between both, because its dealing with foreign arms which can be a threat. .....A fixie is a special kind of a fixed-gear bike with one speed and considered a "urban fixture." -Suzette Calderon
ReplyDeleteBoth news sites talk about Iran nuclear weapons program and Polinski who fled the u.s after a sex scandal and sleeping with a thirteen yr old. clearly, both potential violence and sex scandals hold intrigue in all areas of the world.

ReplyDeleteIran test firing nuclear weapons. This is a shared topic on both papers because most of the world if unsure and scared of what would or could happens if Iran is successful in obtaining nuclear weapons.
Fixies is a fixed geared bike

ReplyDeleteThe similiarities between the two newspapers are global warming and test firing missiles in Iran.
A fixie, is also known as a fixed gear bike. It has one speed with no brakes, and a free wheel mechanism. The chain directly drives the rotation of the rear wheel, meaning the pedals are always moving.
The newspapers also share an article around the Polanski case.
ReplyDeleteBoth Have articles talkin about Iran and missle testing and also about global warming
ReplyDeleteClaire Riby
ReplyDeleteBoth newspapers share climate change issues, Iran's testing of missiles and information surrounding the polanski case.
A fixed gear bike, also known as a fixie for short, is an old school bicycle taht is without a free wheel. This means that the wheels and pedals are locked together and must spin at the same time. It is becoming more and more popular in urban enviornments despite its impracticality.
I'm Zthoeri!! I Read About The Reunion of Korean War Vets with their Families. It Moved Me!!

ReplyDeleteOn both the sydney newspaper and on the Washington Post newspaper there are World Topic headlines. they both discuss the Iran test firing advanced missles. that seems to be the only commonality. This is the major headline for both of them because it is big news.
The similarties between the two newspapers are testing iran missles and global warming.
ReplyDeletethe comment above was by Felisa Erway :)
ReplyDeleteBoth of the newspapers have headlines that talk about the test firing of a iran missle and of global warming. a fixie is a fixed gear bike. this means the bike is a one speed and the one break is to peddle backwards. because of this you can not cost and the peddles are always moving.
ReplyDeleteBoth Headlines talk about Iran test firing missiles and how it could hit Isarael.
ReplyDeleteA fixie also known as a one speed bike. Has no breaks or freewheel.

ReplyDeleteWithin the Sydney Morning Herald I found the headline reading Flood Hero 'gave his life for my baby' quite interesting. Some things that seem similar to our local newspaper are the stories regarding nuclear weapons and global warming. A fixie is a fixed wheel bike which does not have the ability to coast.
they both had simliar stories about Iran and global warming, oh and a fixie is a geared bike.
ReplyDeletethe things that are the same are the global warming topics and the iran weapons.
ReplyDeletealso a fixie is a geared bike- Yusuf Abdi
The Sydney Herald(from Australia I'd guess?) has mostly world headlines. The top headline on both pages regarded Iran test firing powerful missless.
ReplyDeleteThe DandC has top headlines about Rochester, which makes sense. I didn't go in depth enough to find anything else.
A fixie is a bike with fixed gears. From what I understand, it's become kind of a trend to ride a fixie bike, mostly because it's retro. My brother just converted his ten-speed to a single speed to be part of this trend.
both papers have many of the same topics such as roman polanski and the iran missle launches. a fixie is single geared bike with no brakes.
ReplyDeletej quarles
Both of the newspapers have headlines about Irans missels and global warming. This is probly because these are issues that affect everyone no matter where they live.
ReplyDeleteA fixie is the simplest type of bike. It is also a geared bike without brakes.
fixie: a bicycle lacking a freewheel mechanism in the rear hub. That is the crank set and rear wheel are completely dependent of one another. To propel forward or backwards the pedals must be moving.
ReplyDeleteBoth headlined with the Iranian missle test-firing the night before Yom Kippur. I think this headlined because it involves this war, which interests all sorts of people. Also, because it happened on the eve of Yom Kippur, I think it evoked sympathy from Jews and others that are sensitive to the subject.
Both the Sydney Herald and the Washington Post's headlines surrounded Iran testing advanced missiles and Global Warming. These are both topics that effect every part of the world.
ReplyDeleteA fixie is a bike that has a fixed speed without breaks..
both of the websites share the articles on the fire testing in Iran and the case on Polanski
ReplyDeleteFixie is a single geared bike with no brakes. THe pedals stop
oops and it has no breaks...kind like a waste of money if you ask me
ReplyDeleteThere are some similarites between the two articles. The Obama Health Care Plan article stood out to me.
ReplyDeletea fixie is a special kind of bike from like waaaaay back in the day.
ReplyDeleteRasheed Williams II
ReplyDeleteboth websites had similar articles on their page for example roman polanski and iran missle. a fixie is a bike that has a fixed speed with breaks.
Both of the newspapers have information about Iran test firing a missile and the Polanski case. The stories are on both websites because they are popular issues. Each newspaper probably wants to cover as many stories as they can so they can be seen as a reliable source of information.
ReplyDeleteA fixie is a single geared bike with no breaks.

ReplyDeleteBoth papers have headlines concerning iran test firing advanced missiles and the film director Roman Polanksi's arrest. i think the news on nuclear testing headlined because the weapons that other countries own have always interested our country and many people are interested on the latest news on the war and the middle east. I think the news about Roman Polanski headlined because its an odd story that has to do with a very famous director and the atory would interest many people.
A fixie is a fixed-gear bike which has only one speed, no free wheel, and the pedals always turn while the bike moves because of how the chain is connected to the bike.
The Similarities in the News articles are that they talk about the test firing of Irans missiles.
ReplyDeleteA Fixie is a fixed geard bicycle.
fixie: a bike with fixed gears that cannot coast without the pedals moving. it is able to move backwards and eliminates the use of brakes
ReplyDeleteBoth newspapers' headlining article is about Iran testing their nuclear war missiles. I think this is so because Iran denied even having nuclear weapons and they're now testing them publicly.
The top headlines that are common in the media are the testing of fire in the west and about Polanski's case. Both of them are important because everyone is interested in it.
ReplyDeleteA fixie is a special type of bicycle without brakes. I feel that this is very dangerous and i hope it stays a fad.

ReplyDeleteThe articles headlines share in common the iranean missle crises. It's an important headline because Iran could be testing nueclear missles and could be a danger to the US and other places around the world.
A fixie is a bike with fixed gears that can't move without the pedals rotating. It is pretty much a bike without breaks.
Both the Sydney Herald and the Washington Post contain headlines that are important to the whole world, while the Democrat and Chronicle has mostly local news. Both of these world news websites shared headlines on Iran test firing missiles. The war in the Middle East and the test firing of these missiles are important topics all around the world, so it makes sense that it is the first headline on both pages.
ReplyDeleteA Fixie is fixed-wheel or fixed-gear bicycle. It is a bicycle without the ability to coast.

Both papers had articles about Iran's missile testing crises. Both however, have different foci. The sydney herald focuses more on European world affairs, whereas the washington post focuses more on middle eastern situations.
