Largest Armies

10. Russia (321,000 Personnel)

Russia (321,000 Personnel)

Russia used to be one of the greatest powers in the world before World War. Russia has always faced stiff problems with USA. To find Russia in this top 10 list comes as no surprise. With 321,000 army personnel, Russia has the 10th largest army in the world. The size of Russia is also really vast and to protect such a vast area, a large army is needed.

9. Iraq (375,000 Personnel)

Iraq (375,000 Personnel)

With 375,000 army personnel, Iraq has one of the largest armies in the world. Iraq has had troubled times with a number of nations, along with some internal problems. The Iran-Iraq war is an example. Recently, the US raid on Iraq and the subsequent unrest also requires a large army to carry out the tasks. With the arrival of Taliban, the workload has only just increased. Perhaps with the withdrawal of US army in 2014, the region will experience a period of peace.

8. Turkey (402,000 Personnel)

Turkey (402,000 Personnel)

Turkey is an Asian country which is part of the EU. The army personnel of Turkey count up to 402,000, making it one of the largest army in the world. Turkey suffered major setbacks in World War 2 when it allied with the Allied forces on the brink of victory, only to see it snatch away. Turkey has since tried to rebuild its armed forces. The role of army in Turkey’s politics was also criticized. It was only after Erdogan became the PM that the armed forces were put back to their place. This action has made Erdogan a role model for many developing nations. Turkish army was one of the armies sent in the Korean war. With Turkey growing at a steady rate, the large army is one of the strong pillars of the country.

7. Vietnam (412,000 Personnel)

Vietnam (412,000 Personnel)

Vietnam is a country which has been really affected adversely by wars and unrest. The Vietnamese unrest saw many countries send their armies  to help out the affected. Vietnam itself has a large army of around 412,000 army personnel. Many soldiers also belong from other countries who came to Vietnam during the unrest but settled there.

6. USA (477,800 Personnel)

USA (477,800 Personnel)

It may seem a surprise to find USA so far behind but if you take only army personnel into account, USA has only 477,800 army personnel. What makes USA army seem as the largest army in the world is its alliance and deals with other nations, especially Israel, which provide USA with troops. UN also helps USA in a lot of occasions. For instance, in the US raid of Afghanistan and Iraq, USA urged all its allies to send their armies to fight its war. As USA is the superpower, it was hard to say “No” to the USA. Nevertheless, USA army is one of the largest armies in the world.

5. Pakistan (550,000 Personnel)

Pakistan (550,000 Personnel)

Pakistan is country which has a very large army relative to its size. But who can blame Pakistan? On one side, it is facing battle from its arch rival, India, and on the opposite side, we have Afghanistan and Taliban. Add to this the growing sectarian violence and extremism within the country. Therefore, 550,000 may seem a small amount of army personnel to tackle all the problems, but this does make Pakistan have one of the largest armies in the world. Pakistani army has interfered in the country’s politics on numerous occasions, but this is due to the ineffectiveness of political leaders like Nawaz Sharif. This has seen Pakistan spiral on a downward path. The only hope the youth have in the country is in Imran Khan, who the establishment and USA is determined to not let come to power.

4. South Korea (560,000 Personnel)

South Korea (560,000 Personnel)

South Korea has a large army of 560,000 personnel. The rivalry with North Korea has forced South Korea to invest in its armed forces. USA has also helped South Korea, mainly because of the threat it faces from the nuclear North Korea.

3. North Korea (950,000 Personnel)

North Korea (950,000 Personnel)

North Korea has taken the world, and especially the USA, by storm after its successful atomic tests. Perhaps it comes as no surprise that North Korea is at number 3 on this top 10 list with the total army personnel approximately 950,000. North Korea has been in a Cold War in the past against their arch rivals, South Korea. An estimated annual budget allocation to military is close to $10 billion.

2. India (1,100,000 Personnel)

India (1,100,000 Personnel)

India has the second largest army in the world with army personnel close to 1.1 million. Facing stiff ties with its neighbors, mainly Pakistan and China, India has invested heavily in its security, getting help from both USA and Russia. India is in a constant race of nuclear weapons with Pakistan and both countries have a huge defense budget.

1. China (1,600,000 Personnel)

China (1,600,000 Personnel)

Chinese army, better known as People’s Liberation Army, is the largest army in the world. With an astounding figure of 1.6 million army personnel, China heads the top 10 list by a mile. Considering the population of China which is close to a billion, a large army is needed to carry out the tasks accordingly.

High Blood Pressure Facts

High Blood Pressure

1. High Blood Pressure has now become the most common medical condition in the people. About 1 in every 5 people in the world faces the problem of high blood pressure. It is mostly to occur after the age of 40 years and by the time you reach the age of 50+ there is more than 50% chance that you can develop this severe medical condition.

2. High Blood pressure when occur should be seriously taken into account as it is known as silent killer. Actually the thing is that many people actually don’t feel that they do have the problem of high blood pressure as they don’t see any symptoms or problems actually happening with their body. But if blood pressure problem started in you, it really can cause serious problems inside your body so you must try to take regular checkups.

3. As the optimal blood pressure level is 120/80 which is the ideal blood pressure for most of the people. So you must bear in mind that it may not be very much high or very low so you can avoid both the worst conditions. After the age of 50 years the blood pressure reading of 140/90 is also fine and bearable but more than that can cause problems for you.

4. Once you have detected and figured out that you are the patient of high blood pressure than don’t leave it untreated. If you do that you can be at increased risk to some of the major problems like heart attack, blood vessel disease or even heart failure. The most important fact of the century regarding high blood pressure is that the risk of your death doubles for each 20mmHg reading of systolic blood pressure and 10mmHg increase in diastolic pressure.

5. High Blood pressure disease can run into your family easily and it is most probable that if your family has some medical history about having problems of high blood pressure, keep in mind to check your blood pressure monitored regularly because these are the things which are not at all at your control.

6. Eating a healthy diet and improving your lifestyle habits can improve your life and thus stabilize your blood pressure easily. Do exercise regularly and try to lose your weight as much as you can. Avoid unnecessary use of oily things and limit the use of alcohol, caffeine and salt. Smoking is most injurious to your health so if you smoke, please quit it immediately so that you can survive.

7. As just mentioned that limits the use of salt. It is small but it carries huge amount of items which increase your blood pressure to the next levels. Medical experts say that more than 40% of all the high blood pressure is caused due to the extra usage of salty diets.

8. It is mostly seen that the normal and daily routine medical drugs can also harm your blood pressure and are the major cause of high blood pressure. Some of the pain medications likes naproxen and ibuprofen can sky rocket your blood pressure in minutes. So try to minimize the use of drugs which contain pseudoephedrine.

9. Researches have shown that taking lesser but a handful of different pills as a combination can help to control high blood pressure better than using a single but over dosed pill. It is necessarily not true for everyone so you must need to check your medical doctor and follow his advice.

10. Yes, this one is the most important of all the facts that once you started taking blood pressure pills take them regularly – since high blood pressure issues no symptoms to the person and he/she might feel fine and leave the medication so you must not quit your pills or any of your blood pressure medication like this. Speak to your doctor if you want to have any issue, problem or want to take advice.

Brolin ballooned at Leeds and became the laughing stock of the Premier League – he retired in 1998 in ignominy a lot larger than when he started.

8. Tevez’s unpopular sit-in

Poor Carlos Tevez had to suffer almost six months of fury from Manchester City’s fans after the striker refused to play during their Champions League group game against Bayern Munich in 2011. The Argentinian later blamed miscommunication as the reason he didn’t come off the bench, but many football betting fans still disagree.Tevez finally got his act together to help City to the title last season and now appears a transformed individual.

7. Samba’s defensive ineptitude

Christoffer Samba is not the defensive saviour QPR fans hoped he would be and the £12m January signing rightly received a telling off for his sloppy performance against Fulham last month. Samba replied to angry supporters with a Tweet claiming he is only human, but when you earn £100,000 a week few fans are going to sympathise with you.

6. Gallas throws a wobbly

It’s never a good sign when your captain loses his cool but when Gael Clichy conceded a penalty against Blackburn during Arsenal’s 2008 title run-in William Gallas almost tore his head off. Gallas threw what is probably the biggest ever strop on a football field and refused to leave after the game as Arsenal dropped two points and eventually surrendered the title.

5. Portsmouth’s demise

A genuine sob story, Portsmouth were FA Cup winners in 2008 yet the lavish spending that got them to Wembley would eventually be the clubs undoing. In the summer after their FA Cup triumph Pompey sold their main playing assets in a desperate effort to raise cash and were relegated two years later.They have just been condemned to League Two football for next season.

4. Luis Suarez

Ever since his Premier League arrival in 2010 fans, managers and experts have praised and condemned the Uruguayan striker. The term “He’s just not that sort of guy” echoes around internet forums. Sadly, it appears Suarez is that kind of guy and, after biting Branislav Ivanovic two weeks back, is unlikely to be at Liverpool next season.

3. Hughes’ QPR exit

Ask any Fulham fan how they felt when Mark Hughes got the sack at Loftus Road and they are likely to laugh until you smother them. The former Man United defender resigned from the Fulham post after just one season, hoping to find a better job elsewhere, but struggled despite a huge budget at QPR.Hughes left with his tail between his legs and many fans blame him for their current plight. He really should have stayed at Fulham.

2. Staying loyal to Brucey

Steve Bruce shocked EPL betting fans in 2011 when the then-Sunderland boss denounced Darren Bent as disloyal for forcing a £24m move to West Ham. Bruce seemed genuinely upset by Bent’s exit, but he can’t complain after leaving Sheffield United, Crystal Palace and twice Wigan Athletic in the lurch over his managerial career. What goes are comes around.

1. Cole’s wage demands

Ashley Cole’s admission he ‘nearly swerved off the road’ when Arsenal offered him a misery £55,000-a-week contract shocked the footballing world. The left-back quickly jumped ship to Chelsea on a reported £60,000, a far more lucrative salary we all agree. Cole earned little sympathy from EPL supporters and is still known as Cashley to this day.
