Canada becomes the biggest supplier of Petroleum and Crude oil, and here is why

When you find yourself in the position to determine a country’s market, you must pay attention to the products that are shipped off out of that country and into the others. Exporting and importing have been two of the biggest drivers of the economic world; if a country succeeds in making enough products so that others could benefit from it, then it certainly has something to celebrate in the future. Canada, being the biggest producer of crude oil, has become one of the biggest exporters by earning $3.5 million for each barrel.

The 5G revolution and what changes it will bring

5G internet is the next big thing for the internet. The comparison between 4G and 5G is striking and never has any other generation seen such spikes in internet speed and performance difference. 5G is noticeably faster than 4G but the market for 5G is still very immature. This technology is only active in four countries.

In comparing the download speeds of 4G and 5G networks, we have seen a huge difference. According to data analysis, Saudi Arabia had the highest download speed than any other country with 414.2 Mbps, which is 14 times higher than the download speed it is getting on 4G. South Korea has some of the fastest broadbands and mobile network and even with 4G it holds up exceptionally well. Even so, the 5G networks amplify the download speeds to 312.7 Mbps, which is five times faster than its 4G network.

Cities With the Highest Frequency of UFO Sightings
One of the first widely reported alien encounters in the US is known as the Barney and Betty Hill incident. The Hills were a couple who lived in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. They claim they saw a UFO on September 19th, 1961 as they were driving back from a vacation in Montreal. Betty Hill's statements from that evening said she observed a bright orb of light that moved upward in the sky. As the light grew bigger and brighter Barney pulled the car over and got out some binoculars. They kept watching as the mysterious craft moved erratically in the sky before descending to right above their vehicle. In the events that occur after the initial UFO sighting, the Hills state they saw humanoid beings looking out at them from the windows of the craft. They also swear that they were left in an altered state of consciousness and found they had traveled nearly 35 miles back the other way before remembering they stopped and made an unplanned turn once encountering the UFO.

Canada's Next Gold District Is on the Edge of Discovery

 Canada is among the top countries in the world to have its name on the mineral exploration list. Its gold mine districts can be found across Ontario, British Columbia and Quebéc. And even with all those gold district regions already discovered, there is still potential to find gold in the country. But where will Canada's next gold district be? Well, it's most likely to be the Trans-Hudson Corridor, which is spread from Dakota, United States to James Bay, Canada.

 The Trans-Hudson Corridor area is one of those regions that have not been previously explored much. The reason why this region is being framed as Canada's next potential gold district is due to the fact that before closing back in 2001, gold and silver were unravelled in millions of ounces in the Homestake Mine. Although the northern portion of the Trans-Hudson Corridor has a few gold mines in operation, yet there are more areas, such as that around the Snow Lake, where gold mineralization is deemed possible.

Available Jobs during the Pandemic
As a result of the COVID-19, many employers are forced to discharge their workers – either temporary or permanently, leaving many people jobless during these testing times. However, there are some industries that are hiring. And not only for limited vacant positions but employing for hundreds and even thousands of positions.

With a majority of the world facing some intensity of lockdown in their regions for indefinite periods, the people are scrambling to fill their homes with the necessary groceries and other household supplies. This has left grocers and those dealing with food delivery with multiple openings.

According to a report by NPR and Market Watch, there are many retail and delivery companies looking to fill open positions during the ongoing coronavirus. In fact, Grocery delivery company Instacart has an opportunity for almost 300,000 gig workers while Walmart and Amazon are looking to add at least 150,000 and 100,000 workers respectively.

Moreover, the food joints that are open for take-out and delivery are also seeing a surge in their business and have open positions for interested workers. This includes Pizza Hut and Papa John’s Pizza, which have more 20,000 vacant positions – for temporary and part-time workers.

Police Vehicles And Uniforms By Country
Law and order is an important aspect of a civilized modern society. It’s not always possible to maintain a population of 100% law abiding and peaceful citizens but it’s a goal that all civilization must aim to achieve. To achieve this goal, a society must look to law enforcement and police officers. Police show their authority by being easily identifiable to the average citizen. This is done through the use of uniforms, badges, and, sometimes most importantly, the insignias and markings on their police cars. Police cruisers and police uniforms differ all around the world but they all have one thing in common: to protect and serve.

This infographic showcases police vehicles and uniforms from 27 countries around the world and what jurisdiction or specific police force they belong to. Which police car is your favorite?
