U.S. leadership has been rooted not just in our own belief in American exceptionalism but in the faith of others around the world.

Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Franklin
There are five known gyres spinning around in our world's oceans. A gyre is a slowly moving spiral of currents created by a high pressure system of air currents.
