The title of my blog is fitting to this transitory moment of my life and travels. When I first arrived in Cuzco, Peru, Mirra gave me a beautiful necklace with a serpiente green stone that falls right below my neck, fitting just right. She gave it to me for centering, strength and for something to hold onto throughout my travels.


While in Cuzco, we learned of Yacu-Mamá the serpent river that holds a lot of meaning in Incan mythology in regards to life and death. I am thinking of it as I am entering a new period of my life. I am in a beautifully tempting world, in Ecuador and back home in the States, both externally and internally and through all the turns I arrived at my journey.

Hey.

A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels those deposits into lending activities. Bank primarily provide financial services to customers while enriching investors. Government restrictions on financial activities by banks vary over time and location. Bank are important players in financial markets and offer services such as investment funds and loans. In some countries such as Germany, bank have historically owned major stakes in industrial corporations while in other countries such as the United States bank are prohibited from owning non-financial companies. In Japan, banks are usually the nexus of a cross-share holding entity known as the keiretsu. In France, bancassurance is prevalent, as most banks offer insurance services (and now real estate services) to their clients.

The level of government regulation of the banking industry varies widely, with countries such as Iceland, having relatively light regulation of the banking sector, and countries such as China having a wide variety of regulations but no systematic process that can be followed typical of a communist system.[url=http://projectcontrol.v3host.nl]CLICK HERE[/url]
