<![CDATA[<p>Climate is the most important factor in the physical environment of humans.it influence their life, their work, and their products.Some geographers believe, for example,that western civilization is born in Mediterranean because the climate was neither extremely nor extremely cold, neither too rainy, nor too dry.this, they say,make it possible for humans to work efficiently the year round without having to devise special clothing to protect themselves, or special buildings to protect the harvest of grain which they can grow easily on the mild climate</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Most of Europe&amp;nbsp; receives enough precipitation to support agriculture without the need for irrigation.In England (down), the cool, moist climate helps the landscape maintaining the lush green color"</p>

<p>Summer Climatic Region in Southern Europe are quite different because the sub-tropical high pressure has move in.the sky is generally clear, rain is scarce, and temperature are well up in the 70degrees F. (20Celcius) and 80degrees F.&amp;nbsp; (30celcius). In the summer their are a zone of transition between the Mediterranean and the rest of the EUROPE. Norther,Italy ,for instance, is still warm,but there is also precipitation-a fortunate combination for the farmer.</p>

<p>"Vines like these in France are the source of Europe's well-know wine"</p>

<p>The European farmers have learned to make the most of their not-always-fertile land.The simple tools of the early Europeans farmers have been replace nearly everywhere by modern farm machines and modern farming methods.</p>

<p>Europe's nonmetallic mineral products includes abundant building materials such as stone,clay,sand,gravel, and the world largest potash deposit.Potash in which use as fertilizers, exist in such a large quantity in eastern Germany that some experts believe it could meet the world's&amp;nbsp; needs&amp;nbsp; for this product for 1,000 years.</p>

<p>In a remarkably short period, the Christian faith spread across Europe.The political unity that Rome had provided was replaced by the church, whose faith and whose language-Latin-shaped a new spiritual unity.The Church gave Europe a standard value,a system of governing, and a link in the achievements of the classical past.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FEurope%2FEurope-the-Beautiful-Continent.230923"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FEurope%2FEurope-the-Beautiful-Continent.230923" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Australia, I Am Forever Grateful</title>
<link>http://www.trifter.com/Asia-&amp;-Pacific/Australia/Australia-I-Am-Forever-Grateful.108889</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Australia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.  It is the island continent that has no resemblance to any other continent as it has:</p>
 
<ul>
<li>The world's longest coral reef that is The Great Barrier Reef in Queensland that 1,260 miles long.</li>
<li>The world's largest rock that is Uluru or Ayers Rock that is 348 metres in height, 1.5 miles long and 1 mile wide.</li>
<li>The World's largest sand  Island that is Fraser Island that is also in Queensland and is 75 miles long.</li>
</ul>
<p>Physically Australia is closest to countries of South East Asia, however, culturally, Australia belongs to the Western part of the world due to its colonisation 200 years ago by the Great Empire then Great Britain.</p>
<p>Although Australia is Down Under on its own, borders no other land but the Pacific ocean, yet on its soil live people from all around the world.  People like myself and others that have chosen to make Australia their home.</p>
<p>To me Australia is the home that has given peace and security at a time my own home country was in the midst of a civil war.  It has given me education that of which my onw country could not have given me.  It is now giving my children a future and a place to pursue their dreams and potentials.  I am forever grateful to this wonderful country.</p>
<p>Although, some may still view people like myself and other migrants as strangers or "wogs", even after 30 years, I feel that I am so much part of this land.  The best years of my life were lived and outlived in Australia.  My hopes and dreams  of a good fertile future were also realised and pursued in Australia with the help of Australia's fair Education system and the facilities that are accessible to all with no discrimination whatsoever.</p>
<p>I mostly feel Australian when I am far away from Australia.  I realise then how much I have acquired from the Australian way of life.  The way I like openness and despise formalities was all a result of my long living in Australia.  In a working place almost everybody is on first name terms whether a person is in a managerial position or at the bottom of the ladder.  <br />I believe this has emanated from Australia's humble beginnings, far away from the motherland Great Britain, which meant far away from royalty, protocols, etiquettes and the ascending and descending social classes.</p>
<p>Early Australians were all equal and of the same social class except for the governors and their families who were a minority.  This trend seems to have continued along the decades and from generation to another until this modern day Australia.</p>
<p>As a result,  the simple way of life is what is mostly desired in Australia that of which in turn have made Australia a unique and a special coutnry to live in.  No wonder that anyone who visits Australia would like to return or remain to make it home including myself.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FAsia-%26amp%3B-Pacific%2FAustralia%2FAustralia-I-Am-Forever-Grateful.108889"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FAsia-%26amp%3B-Pacific%2FAustralia%2FAustralia-I-Am-Forever-Grateful.108889" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Africa: The Rising Sun</title>
<link>http://www.trifter.com/Africa/Africa-The-Rising-Sun.83780</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>When the continent Africa is mentioned people visualizes poverty stricken people, war- torn homes, dirty environment due to the constant images and view the western media has chosen to portray to the world, most of the time they show Africa on FOX, CNN or SKY news; it always about war, poverty, fraudster, corruption e.t.c, even in mini series Law and Order, many times they have portrayed it was mostly negative stuffs. There is more to Africa than what is being said and show to the western world. However most the things they publish and about Africa is true to an extent yet it's sometime over generalized and inaccurately documented. In Africa it not always about the troubles but its inhabitants are normal people with a happy life and living the good life as well as enjoying it. There are so many beautiful things about Africa, its landscape, people and breathtaking wilds. It has so much to share pure blackness You've seen the images on TV about Africa: the huts, the famine, disease, wars and suffering but they never show you that Africa is beautiful, has happy people and that not every part and person in Africa is poor. Yes, Africa is a land of wars, poverty and corruption. The situation in places like Darfur, Sudan, desperately cries out for more media attention and international action. But Africa is also a land of stock markets, high rises, Internet cafes and a growing middle class.</p>
 
<p>This is the part of Africa that functions. And this Africa also needs media attention, if it's to have any chance of fully joining the global economy. Africa's media image comes at a high cost, even, at the extreme, the cost of lives. Stories about hardship and tragedy aim to tug at our heartstrings, getting us to dig into our pockets or urge Congress to send more aid. But no country or region ever developed thanks to aid alone. Investment, and the job and wealth creation it generates is the only road to lasting development. The images the media portrays does not always necessarily mean that Africa is a bad continent or the people from the continent are pathetic s, due to the instability of African background and scar marred deep into the continent, there are still so many issues the African nations are fighting like bad government, poverty e.t.c poverty cannot be erased but its getting reduced. <br /> You have seen the images on the TV about Africa: the huts, the famine, disease, war but they never show Africa is so beautiful and not every part of Africa and people are poor.</p>

<p>These are places in Africa, there are loads of them which if continued will never end;<br /> if the Western society have a little knowledge of  great things about Africa and it's a wonderful and beautiful place  to be.  Africa has really and amazingly change, its sun has come like after the rain comes the sun and it is still rising high in the sky maybe this the moment young generation will do something to change the Africa they always show...so when ever the show Africa we can be proud and confident. And tell our kids that it was my generation that made the change and i was a part of that change.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FAfrica%2FAfrica-The-Rising-Sun.83780"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FAfrica%2FAfrica-The-Rising-Sun.83780" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
