I've been following the geographical movements of people for many years as part of the work I do. In the last five years especially, I have joined many migrations & pilgrimages across the world as part of a wider project on the subject. I believe that the urge to travel is deeply etched within in the genes of every single one of us. In fact, I have no doubt that this is one of the main reasons that we have become so successful as a species, having now colonised almost every conceivable environment on the planet...

Dear Steemit Friends: On my adventures with you today we're going to explore Sultan Ahmed Mosque, located in Istanbul, Turkey.

I’m not a cyber-security-expert, so please make your own research before making important decisions. But am using computers since two decades and have the impression, computers are like a tropical garden: If you don’t take care of it, don’t cultivate it, if you don’t weed out the malevolent plants and close out or kill beasts, you will have a dangerous jungle at home. I think the methods on my list won’t protect you from the CIA, but why should you be worried about this organization? But possibly...

As a bank run progresses, it generates its own momentum: as more people withdraw cash, the likelihood of default increases, triggering further withdrawals. This can destabilize the bank to the point where it runs out of cash and thus faces sudden bankruptcy. Wikipedia Banks are vulnerable But without banks, which are blamed often by some extreme politicians and also some men in the street for the crisis, debt or other miserable conditions, modern economies can’t operate. (At least, not yet. Maybe in a distant future if cryptocurrencies take over...

To tell the truth, most Google services are fairly good. That’s why most of us are using them a lot and sometimes also some sort of addiction can evolve to this services. Some Google services are good and some are bad or mediocre, but mostly useful. Some may seem quite perfect for me and poor for you. For example, I like to take notes in Keep when I’m on my way and have only my mobile phone in my hand, but I never take notes with it on my notebook. (Normally I use Evernote to take notes, I wrote about some very handy free software here...
