  video> How money is made in different countries Full story> in USA Money creation involves several processes, depending on whether we’re talking about physical currency or digital money. Physical Money (Coins and Banknotes)Design and Engraving: Artists and engravers create detailed designs, including security features like watermarks and holograms. Printing and Minting: Special paper or polymer is used for banknotes, while coins are minted from metal. Advanced printing techniques ensure durability and security.

Central Banks: Central banks, like the Federal Reserve in the U.S., create money by purchasing government securities, which increases the reserves of commercial banks.

An image (with pollution) is worth a thousand words: Leicester then and now

-
Image
   I am not sure that global warming is caused by pollution. (This is only 99.9% sure; there is still room for evidence.) But images like this one (Leicester 1950) think that it shouldn't give way to a discussion we need to behave responsibly, protect the environment, reduce pollution. Of course, developed States have a greater responsibility than the rest of the world, and the United States above all. But I remember a short visit to a Central European country many years ago, when I hit a truly apocalyptic landscape. The image of Leicester would have seemed brilliant in addition to the red fog there. Video: Residential districts of Leicester today, built on former industrial zones

 From the beginning of the invasion in Ukraine, Rusia economy get a burst by rising prices for natural gas and by giving a lot of state contracts in strategic industries. The international sanctions was for long time inefficient.  Now, according to BBC, that quote Russian newspapers, there are first signs of true economic problems in the Russian society. Today’s Russian papers focusing again on economic problems: ▪️ “To pay utility bills some Russians are falling into debt" ▪️ “Rise in bread prices outstripping inflation” ▪️“Cement factories on the brink” ▪️ Call to "freeze basic food prices to battle inflation" #ReadingRussia pic.twitter.com/QpGEUVoCw4 — Steve Rosenberg (@BBCSteveR) July 18, 2025 Today’s Russian papers focusing again on economic problems: ▪️ “To pay utility bills some Russians are falling into debt" ▪️ “Rise in bread prices outstripping inflation” ▪️“Cement factories on the brink” ▪️ Call to "freeze basic food prices to battle inflation...

Amazing architecture: the floating house from Ukraine

-
Image
  One of the strangest buildings, which has fascinated Internet users for decades, is located in Ucriana. The so-called floating house is located in Krasnosilka, Odessa region. It is originally a potato sorting station. The construction rests on a huge concrete block, but it is located on the side, not in the center, which makes the construction visually illogical and amazing. The builders made such a design to allow trucks to enter under the platform of the sorting station to be loaded automatically by opening hatches under the platform. Construction in the Odessa region is not unique. In the last years of the USSR several similar constructions were built, predominantly in Ukraine and Belarus. Because they have a wider "foot" and are clad in wood structure, they are not nearly as spectacular. In the floating house in Krasnosilka, the concrete foot has a color that at first sight is lost in the landscape, giving the impression that the house is levitating. Image from Belarus,...

A 2 thousand year old building and still functional

-
Image
  A building in Istanbul is so old that it has captured all the empires that have mastered this city. It's not just a simple — construction it's a veritable time capsule where history has laid layer upon layer over centuries. From Rome at present, in one wall At the base of the building you can see elements typical of the Roman Empire: thick stone walls and massive columns, reminiscent of the era when the city was called Byzantion and was part of the vast empire of Rome. Byzantine marks over the Roman ruins Immediately above it rises structures with elegant arches and specific details of Byzantine architecture. These elements were added in the period when the city became Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire and one of the most important centers of the medieval Christian world. New shape during Otoman Empire On the next level, masonry and style become more functional, reflecting the Ottoman period, when the city was conquered by the Turks in 1453 and transformed i...

Amazing images from the sky: Kartoffelraekkerne in Copenhagen

-
Image
  sources of images: Facebook and Instagram, via https://drivemagazine.ro/, https://kartoffelraekkerne.dk/ et al. Copenhagen's Quirky Charm: Soaring Over the "Field-of-Potatoes" Copenhagen is a city that beautifully blends modern design with its rich history. Beyond the sleek harbors and cutting-edge architecture, lies a charming district with a character all its own, often described as the “architecture field-of-potatoes.” Tucked between Øster Søgade and Øster Farimagsgade, this unique area offers a delightful, slightly chaotic visual experience when viewed from above. But what exactly gives this neighborhood its distinctive name and why is it so beloved? A Patchwork Quilt of History The “field-of-potatoes,” is not a derogatory term. It's a loving nod to the slightly haphazard, wonderfully varied collection of older buildings that dominate this section of the city. From an aerial perspective, these homes – each a unique size, shape, and design – sprawl out like potat...

The end of a Republican project - The Collapse of a Common Market

-
Image
 Import tariffs are a legitimate tool used by states to correct economic imbalances. All countries use them in one form or another, even if some, including the U.S., have chosen not to apply them to certain trading partners. The European Union operates as a common market, with zero tariffs on internal trade. Imports from outside the EU are taxed by each member state based on the type of product or service. Similarly, the U.S. created a common market with Mexico and Canada through the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), initiated by Republicans in 1988 (Ronald Reagan) and expanded in 1994 (George Bush sr.) and 2020 (by Donald Trump himself). The North American market became the third-largest in the world, after ASEAN and the EU. The sudden introduction of 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico for almost all product categories has led to the collapse of this common market, built by Republicans over decades. Before NAFTA The Trump administration’s decision does not me...
