The credit of crisis visualized

How did we get into this terrible crisis?
Great visualizaton from Jonathan Jarvis.
Maybe the best explanation I’ve ever seen of this complex situation.

Greed is the cause for all of this. Because:

Wall Street never changes, the pockets change, the suckers change, the stocks change, but Wall Street never changes, because human nature never changes.

Country roads John Denver

Country roads take me home!


LYRICS:

Almost heaven West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah river
Life is old there older than the trees
Younger than the mountains blowin’ like a breeze

Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia mountain momma
Take me home country roads

All my memories gather round her
Miner’s lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine teardrops in my eyes

Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia mountain momma
Take me home country roads

I hear a voice in the morning how she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin’ down the road I get the feelin’
That I should been home yesterday yesterday

Country roads take me home

To the place I belong
West Virginia mountain momma
Take me home country roads

Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia mountain momma
Take me home country roads

West Virginia mountain momma
Take me home country roads

West Virginia mountain momma
Take me home country roads

Take me home country roads
Take me home country roads

To have and to lose – Chinghiz Aitmatov and beautiful Kyrgyzstan

To have and to lose-Chinghiz Aitmatov

have-and-lose-2

haveandloseI have just read a story by Chinghiz Aitmatov to have and to lose. It is about an unfinished love song of a lorry driver in the Tian Shan region after the WWII when he was in the army.

Just in case you don’t know who Aitmatov is, he’s a Kyrgyzstan literary legend. this story it is very touching, powerful, and delightful. The many layers of the book weave together into a beautiful tapestry and the more I thought about it, the more it dawned on me: “ah, so that’s why!”. well-written and riveting. it’s available at: http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/bashiri/Sto…

read it and think over it

Aïtmatov has always retained a sense that the “reader, whatever the political complications… remains a human being”. “The mission of literature,” he told a British interviewer in 1979, “is to express the essence of the human spirit.”

One you have read the story, I think you should find out more about the beautiful Kyrgystan, espeacially the Tian Shan land, and think about the story again.

…to have and to lose..

…and beautiful Kyrgystan

kyrgyzstan

from www.silkpress.com

Snow-white peaks scraping the sky. Alpine meadows abundant in flowers and steppes permeated with the smell of wormwood. Rough mountain rivers, winding between the slopes, and lakes that lie motionless amid the summits, like mirrors dropped by a playing beauty… All these are Kyrgyzstan, the country with ancient history and virginal nature. The country that can present you with the best travel in your life.

Kyrgyzstan is a small country, but it has become the peak of the Eurasian continent and separated the East and West: on the one side there lies Christian European Russia, on the other side Islamic Asia and Buddhistic China. This is one of the highest places on the planet: in its small territory there are three seven-thousanders. In order to experience the alternation of climatic zones of the Eurasian continent, it is just enough to climb the mountains. You can find coniferous forests here, as well as tundra, and even “the Arctic” plateaus with unearthly landscapes, troubled only by freezing winds……..

TO MY FRIEND BYAMBA – best regards from Kyrgyzstan

Beautiful nature of Kyrgyzstan

Issyk-kul lake of memoriesissyk-kul

…one of the largest mountain lakes, second only to the famous South American Titicaca, and one of the deepest on the globe. Because of its salt water the Issyk Kul is frequently called a sea. It captivates you with its beauty.
