Rel. bilaterais Br X outros. The World Factbook. The surface of the Earth is approximately 70.9% water and 29.1% land. The former portion is divided into large bodies termed oceans. The World Factbook recognizes and describes five oceans, which are in decreasing order of size: the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, and Arctic Ocean. Because of their immense size, the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans are generally divided at the equator into the North and South Pacific Oceans and the North and South Atlantic Oceans, thus creating seven major water bodies - the so-called "Seven Seas. " Some 97.5% of the Earth's water is saltwater. Of the 2.5% that is fresh, about two-thirds is frozen mostly locked up in the Antarctic ice sheets and mountain glaciers worldwide. If all the surface ice on earth fully melted, the sea level would rise about 70 m (230 ft). In a 100-year period, a water molecule spends 98 years in the ocean, 20 months as ice, about two weeks in lakes and rivers, and less than a week in the atmosphere.

A Organização Internacional de Polícia Criminal, mundialmente conhecida pelo seu acrónimo Interpol (em inglês: International Criminal Police Organization), é uma organização internacional que ajuda na cooperação de polícias de diferentes países. Foi criada em Viena, na Áustria, no ano de 1923, pelo chefe da polícia vienense Johannes Schober, com a designação de Comissão Internacional de Polícia Criminal. Entre 1938 e 1945 após a anexação da Áustria pelo Terceiro Reich, a organização foi comandada por quatro diferentes oficiais nazistas da SS; Otto Steinhäusl, Reinhard Heydrich, Arthur Nebe e Ernst Kaltenbrunner,[1] todos eles mortos durante a II Guerra Mundial ou executados como criminosos de guerra ao fim do conflito.
Hoje sua sede é em Lyon, na França[1], tendo adotado o nome actual em 1956 e tem a participação de 190 países membros. A sigla Interpol foi pela primeira vez utilizada em 1946.

The United Kingdom – United States of America Agreement (UKUSA, /juːkuːˈsɑː/ ew-koo-SAH)[1][2] is a multilateral agreement for cooperation in signals intelligence between the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
The alliance of intelligence operations is also known as Five Eyes.[3][4][5][6][7] In classification markings this is abbreviated as FVEY or the countries are listed like AUS, CAN, GBR, NZL, USA.[8] Emerging from an informal agreement related to the 1941 Atlantic Charter, the secret treaty was renewed with the passage of the 1943 BRUSA Agreement, before being officially enacted on 5 March 1946 by the United Kingdom and the United States. In the following years, it was extended to encompass Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Other countries, known as "third parties", such as West Germany, the Philippines and several Scandinavian countries also joined the UKUSA community.[9] History[edit] Origins (1940s–1950s)[edit] Investigations (1970-90s)[edit]
Mutual assured destruction. Aftermath of the atomic bomb explosion over Hiroshima, August 6, 1945 Mutual assured destruction, or mutually assured destruction (MAD), is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy in which a full-scale use of high-yield weapons of mass destruction by two opposing sides would cause the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender.[1] It is based on the theory of deterrence where the threat of using strong weapons against the enemy prevents the enemy's use of those same weapons. The strategy is a form of Nash equilibrium in which neither side, once armed, has any incentive to initiate a conflict or to disarm.
Theory[edit] The doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) assumes that each side has enough nuclear weaponry to destroy the other side; and that either side, if attacked for any reason by the other, would retaliate without fail with equal or greater force. This MAD scenario is often referred to as nuclear deterrence. History[edit] Pre-1945[edit] Historical Geography of Transportation: The Emergence of Mechanized Systems. Transportation is closely linked with the process of globalization. Efficiently distributing freight and moving people has always been an important factor for maintaining the cohesion of economic systems from empires to modern nation states and economic blocs.
With technological and economic developments, the means to achieve such a goal have evolved considerably with a series of historical revolutions and evolutions. This process is very complex and is related to the spatial evolution of economic systems and associated technical developments. It is possible to summarize this evolution, from the pre-industrial era to transportation in the early 21st century, in four major stages, each linked with specific technological innovations in the transport sector; the pre-industrial era, the industrial revolution, fordism and post-fordism (globalization).
Because the efficiency of the land transport system of this era was poor, the overwhelming majority of trade was local in scope. European fibre, bandwidth & data centre solutions | euNetworks.

É mais fácil fazer negócios na Etiópia do que no Brasil, aponta relatório do Banco Mundial.
Fazer negócios no Brasil ficou mais difícil, principalmente para as pequenas e médias empresas. É o que aponta o relatório Doing Business 2013: Smarter Regulations for Small and Medium-Size Enterprises. O país caiu da 126º colocação no ranking anterior, para 130º, em uma relação de 185 países. Ficamos atrás de nações como Etiópia (127º), e os vizinhos Paraguai (103º) e Argentina (124º). Os países da América Latina que melhor se destacaram foram Chile (37º), Porto Rico (41º), Peru (43º), Colômbia (45º) e México (48º).
O estudo é realizado pelo Banco Mundial e pela Corporação Financeira Internacional. O destaque do estudo ficou por conta das nações europeias: a Polônia saiu de 59º lugar para 55º ao implementar quatro reformas estruturais, tornando mais fácil o registro de propriedade, pagamento de impostos, aplicação dos contratos e a resolução de falências.
