The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika - su meaning good, asti meaning to be, and ka as a suffix. Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck.
The Gulf Stream is a river in the deep sea, straits of Florida, in the Atlantic Ocean that is formed by warm currents leaving the Gulf of Mexico and squeezed between Cuba and the Florida keys. This Current builds amazing speed east of the keys about 20 miles off shore and runs North.
Within the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf Stream is very narrow, only 50 miles wide, and travels very fast at 3 mph, carrying water at about 25Â°C. The North Atlantic Drift widens considerably to several hundred miles, slows to less than 1 mph and splits into several sub-currents.
