Top 5 differences between sea and ocean you should know Oceans and seas splash on the same square kilometers of the earth’s surface, and because the use of the two terms could coincide, you need to know some facts that will help you distinguish them. What is a sea? The most popular definition is ‘the sea is a part of the ocean, separated by land or islands’. Yes, a sea is a part of the World Ocean. It can be separated from it by the features of the sea floor (like in the case of the Sargasso sea), by archipelagos or series of islands (like in the case of the South China Sea or the Baffin Sea) and by peninsulas or outlines of continents (like in the case of the Arabian or Mediterranean seas). Due to the obstruction of the sea's connection with the ocean, they tend to have their own separate hydrological regime, temperature, salinity, transparency, current systems, flora and fauna. There are 63 seas in the world today. All of them are divided into 2 groups according to...

                                                      SIGHTS AND FACTS ABOUT ALBANIA The ever-growing Albanian diaspora, those millions of Albanians around the world who chose to leave the promised land, I understand. The economy in Albania, is terrible. Wages remain comparable to some third world nations – if you can find a job. I’ve seen people living at garbage dumps, and in slum-like shanty-towns. Unemployment is out of control. Corruption is rampant. After living through half a century with one of the world’s most brutal and isolationist dictators (think North Korea, in Europe), only to see society crumble into violent anarchy as recently as the late 1990’s, well, even though there are green-shoots of an optimistic future – I understand why so many Albanians have simply given up waiting for the tide to turn.  But, the tourists aren’t goi...

It broke free of Earth's gravity well while riding a modified Russian rocket designed to deliver a nuclear payload from near Moscow to the US mainland during the Cold War.

                                           CORRUPTION AS AN OBSTACLE TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Corruption is a form of dishonest or unethical conduct by a person entrusted with a position of authority, often to acquire personal benefit. ... Government, or 'political', corruption occurs when an office-holder or other governmental employee acts in an official capacity for personal gain. Political corruption means the abuse of political power by the government leaders to extract and accumulate for private enrichment, and to use politically corrupt means to maintain their hold on power. However, abuse of political power for other purposes, such as repression of political opponents and general police brutality, is not considered political corruption. Political corruption takes place at the highest levels of the political system, and hence it can be differentiated from admin...
