A majority of democracies around the world have a unitary system of government‚ wherein power is centered around the national government. In federalism‚ there is a written constitution which formulates this power sharing arrangement between the state and its units. These units‚ referred to as the provincial or regional governments‚ have the power to act independently in certain areas of governance. In the United States too‚ the power is shared between the national and regional or state governments

The article “The British PoW who broke into Auschwitz – and survived” by Jake Wallis Simons‚ in my opinion‚ was underwhelming and did not quite do justice to the actions taken by Denis Avery.

Count Dracula is one of the most famous villains in the fields of film and literature. In Buffy the Vampire Slayer‚ Dracula is depicted as being both serious and humorous. These attributes deviate from the original account where Dracula is shown as being powerful and evil. Evidently‚ past adaptations have not portrayed him as having a sense of humor. It is asserted that the power of a vampire is rooted in darkness and in his self. There is some truth in the statement owing to the fact that vampires
