Hardly a century ago, had hauling large consignments of cargo from point A to point B had to be done via sea, if these had a considerable distance between them. No other means of transportation was quite unthinkable back in the day. But today, alongside seafaring vessels we also have air transport services. Which in essence allows for much faster cargo delivery time. But traditional means of hauling via ships are still the primary way of transporting large consignments. However, air transport is gaining popularity for the last few decades. Especially with sensitive goods and if you want your goods…

Economics is a fascinating subject. It is only natural that people have so much interest in it and there are so much information available regarding the economics of a given city. However, when it comes to a specific city, information is somewhat scarce. Because, researchers usually go for the entire country when conducting some research work rather than a specific city. However, we did manage to get the data we required, and when you read through the main article, you will know how we did it. As you know, this is not the main article and my premise of discussion…
Today we have a much interesting topic to talk about. I am sure at first the topic will seem a little counter intuitive to you, but trust me, you will learn the reasons soon enough. Among all the seven continents, Africa is lagging behind in every field, education, development, economy, science and technology, you name it. Even though the continent is rich with natural resources, but because of corruption and political turmoil, Africa’s fate seems unclear at the most. But that necessarily does not mean that every African nation is doomed. In recent decades, many African nations have undergone rigorous…
It has hardly been a little over a century that humans finally took to the skies in a true airplane. One fine morning in the year 1903 the Right Brothers proved to the world that crafts heavier than air can actually achieve flight under its own power. And since then this technology has improved in leaps and bounds. During the final stages of Second World War, a major breakthrough was achieved by aeronautical engineers, the jet engine. Though developed for combat, after the war this technology saw widespread use in civil aviation. And eventually completely replaced propeller driven aircraft from…
Perhaps the rivers are bodies of water to which we humans owe the most to for our civilization and for our survival. If we go through human history, and look at the earliest civilizations, we will always find a great river at the heart of these ancient civilizations. If take the Egyptians as the example, we can see the great Nile river in its heart. Today we will be talking about the largest rivers in the world that gave rise to some of the most powerful civilizations of the ancient world. These great bodies of water, bring life giving water…
We live in the most developed societies, yet there are some false beliefs are so wide spread within the society, we just believe them to be true without ever questioning it. Yes, we are talking about myths today. In reality, most of these myths are something without any substance, but people still have firm belief in them. And so the cycle continues, but today we will be debunking or busting some of the most popular myths, and if you ever belied in anyone one of them, you surely will be benefitting by reading this article through.

Today we will be taking a look into a rather interesting topic. We will be delving into the realm of “subcultures”. Though many definitions exist of the term, but I will be quoting the one from the Oxford English Dictionary, according to the dictionary “a cultural group within a larger culture, often having beliefs or interests at variance with those of the larger culture.” By definition, there could exist a numerous subculture within a culture itself, but to be considered out right “weird” the subculture must have to be rather drastic in their beliefs which vary from the main culture.…
From the ancient times humans have submitted their will to the God/s. It is believed that the notion of God first took hold of humanity when the earliest human beings failed to explain even the most basic of natural phenomenon. But with time, as we began to understand the mysteries that surround us, religion began to transform and take up more prominent form. Except for Hinduism, most major world religion are not that old. Though the youngest, Islam is gaining much popularity in recent years. Today we will be talking about 5 Fastest Growing Religions in Europe and The World.…
I am a God fearing man, I admit that I do not follow everything my religion asks of me, but at the end of the day I do believe that there is a divine being behind the grand design of things. I felt like disclosing my religious belief to my readers before delving deep into the topic at hand. Because religion is a very sensitive issue, countless wars have been fought in the name of religion and even to this day such wars are rampant in some parts of the world. Atheism is nothing new, it has been around since…
Today we will be handling a rather sensitive topic. The term stupid will not affect a person much if it comes from someone he/she is acquainted with, and has mutual respect for each other, but when the same term comes from a total stranger, things become a bit tense. It is considered to be a diminishing term when that happens, and can seriously hurt a person’s feelings. Well, perhaps today we will be stepping on a few nerves. Though to be fair, we are dealing with tertiary data, we merely took the liberty to rank the 20 Dumbest Countries in…
Athletics is a way of expression, just like dancing, it is a physical form of art. No wonder billions of people show interest in all the forms athletics are performed. In the ancient world athletics and athletes were held in very high regard as well, the ancient Olympic Games serves as the testament. The modern world is not different in this respect, winning gold in any athletic event brings about high honor to the winner’s home country. But, in the ancient world, an athlete would only receive a crown made out of olive branches as a reward and no other…
Did you ever take an interest in collecting stamps? Or perhaps in gardening, angling, bird watching? Well, today we will be talking about hobbies. Hobbies are not something that does good things to you in general or you can expect some benefit from it, rather it defines who you are, it is a part of your personality, it builds character. I mentioned a few common hobbies above, and trust me, the list just goes on and on. It seems there is just no limit to the kind of hobbies people have.
