Answer 2

Vancouver is 'best place to live'

Vancouver is the world's best place to live, a survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has found.

The EIU ranked 127 cities in terms of personal risk, infrastructure and the availability of goods and services.

All the cities that fell into the top "liveability" bracket were based in Canada, Australia and Western Europe.

The worst places were Algiers in Algeria, and Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea because "many aspects of daily life present challenges", the EIU said.

Safe havens?

Canadian cities scored well, as did Austria's Vienna and Switzerland's Geneva, because they are not seen as targets for terror attacks.

The main uncertainty for people living in the those cities are climate-related, the EIU said.

"In the current global political climate, it is no surprise that the most desirable destinations are those with the lower perceived threat of terrorism," said Jon Copestake, editor of the EIU report.

The survey has produced a mixed picture of the world's cities. London was ranked in the 10th group, on a par with Dublin and Los Angeles, but one place below Manchester, four behind Berlin, five lower than Tokyo, and six off Helsinki, Frankfurt and Stockholm.

In Latin America, "no city manages to present ideal living conditions, neither do any fall into the category where extreme difficulties are faced", the EIU said.

Montevideo in Uruguay, Santiago in Chile and Buenos Aires in Argentina offer the region's best conditions. Bogota in Colombia and Caracas in Venezuela score the least favourably.

In Asia, cities in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China and Taiwan all score well, as do Australia's main hubs.

Africa and the Middle East fare less well, with the EIU citing concerns about terror attacks, and economic and political instability.

Some of the worst performing cities include Harare in Zimbabwe and Lagos in Nigeria.

Answer 3

Just yestaday some one had a similar question as "the who knows about Uganda". Now I will continue from there and say; the National name "Uganda" is the same as to say -"The Source of the Nile Debate". These two happened and have grown together. Before that Uganda was not Uganda, The region was dominated by well establishe monachesn hence the the name "The pearl of the World". So I will choose Uganda, and examine her as at the 19th century, and as way back as the fourth millennium BC.

The quest for the source of the Nile excited 19th century Europe because it involved adventurous explorations, intellectual contraversy and individual rivalries;

John Hanning Speke who reached the Source of the Nile in july 1862, James Bruce at the source of the Blue Nile drinking the health of George,111, 1770, Grant's drawing of the source of the White Nile at Ripon Falls, Uganda, shows the point where the river flows out of the Victoria. The falls are now submerged by the effects of a hydroelectric dam downstream.

The White Nile and the great lakes, 1845 -1873. The theoretical geographer Cooley argued that there was only one lake in East Africa even after explorers found more maps. The Royal Geographical Society then sent Burton and Speke to find the truth. They reached lake Tanganyika, and Speke alone the Southern end of Lake Victoria, immediatly claiming it as the Nile source. On a second expediton, now with Grant, Speke reached the Ripon Falls in July 1862, where the Nile falls out of Victoria. Baker came up the Nile to find lake Albert as part of the Nile system.

Whereupon Burton and his allies, jealous of Speke, ingeniously showed that lake Tanganyika could be the source of the Nile. Speke accidentally shot himself dead and could not dispute this. the doubts encouraged Livingstone to further South and he died trying to prove this. In 1875 76 Stanley finally vidicated Speke and ended the Vitriolic arguments about who deserved the palm Bruce had claimed in 1770.

Sir Samuel Baker (1821 93) traveled up the Nile vally to reach lake Albert in March 1864, so supplementing yet

complicating Spekes's discovery. Baker later returned to the upper Nile to claim the area for the Khedive of Egypt - and to make a fortune for himself.

Kingdoms and Empires.

In Africa as everywhere else in the world, people organized themselves for countless millennia into more or less self-sufficient political communities from about the fourth millennium BC, they began forming more centralized units, owing allegiance to a King. By the middle of the 19th century the mojoirty of Africans where under some kind of monarchical rule.

At successive periods Kingdoms and Empires covered much of the Africa, though there were always peoples who for choices retained loosely structured political organizations. Almost all were of African origin. Only along the Mediterranean shore, where the Romans and then Arabs invaded, and in the East Africa city - states were outside political influences significant. Elsewhere indigenous political systems developed, reflecting the Sociaecomonic organization of different peoples. The early 19th century in particular was a period of widespread state building, with powerful rulers creating nation-states all over the continent - a process thwarted in the last decades ot the century by European conquest. The Nation Uganda, as known today was born here. But the peopling/ organizing in that Region is by far much older.

Now What

Questions on Africa and her Nations image on this cite at random, these quetions are answered either carelessily or poorely. But I am of the opinion that some quetions might be intended to help the person asking, as to how, where, when, what... can guide him/her into African studies or research. I hope this Answer is good enough and gives somebody a key into African affairs.

Answer 4

According to United Nation Human Development's report, its Norway at the top, with a combination or high income, 0% illiteracy, fairly long life expectancy, with other Scandinavian, Japan, Switzerland, Canada closely behind. While Ireland scores top in the Economist's happiness index ranking, apparently none of these studies looked at weather.

Answer 5

I would say Eureka California. It's in the northern part of the state, so the climate is always cool but never too cold or snowy. It's right on the Pacific Ocean, there are many beautiful victorian buildings and housing is affordable. I think the town's also just the right size with about 25,000 people.

Answer 6

Easy one this - at home. If you are talking about a specific place, then the small town of Aberdovey in Wales is lovely.

Fresh air, a lovely beach - a nice whether pattern that seem to favour sun when the rest of Wales is being rained upon - all these things make it one of the most relaxing places I have ever been.

Answer 11

Tarija, Bolivia - because this city is neither super BIG nor too small, has friendly people in it, (and people who care about such important aspects as friendliness, courtesy, and spirituality), and is accessible by bus-airplane, and has available access to internet connections, and has lots of Cenozoic fossils, and good drinking water, and... (there are probably other reasons too). The local environment is great if you like daily variety, and molle trees are very beautiful. (Also, the nearby wine valleys produce the most unknown (and best) wines anybody's never heard of).
