Here at Petrest, we love spending time with our furry friends whenever we can, so we’ve come up with 16 tips to help Fido and Felix stay safe in the sunshine. Enjoy the great British weather for however long it lasts!
Summer is great isn’t it? The long nights spent around the BBQ, days spent enjoying a cool breeze on sandy beaches, kicking back and relaxing at a festival, chilling out in beer gardens with friends. All of these are great activities for you, and most of us enjoy spending time in the sunshine, but what about your pets?
Travelling With Your Best Bud
Travelling with your pet needn’t be stressful. A survey by TripAdvisor found that 41% of the UK would prefer to travel with their pets, be that domestic or abroad. Read our tips to get the most out of your time with your pet:
This one goes without saying really, temperatures inside a car can rise to dangerous levels in just a few minutes, even in the shade, so please don’t leave Fido (or Felix) in the car!
2. Properly restrain your pets for travel:
In cars, cats and small-medium sized dogs should be in a travel crate designed for them. Larger dogs can travel on the seat as long as they’re properly restrained; we recommend a good harness and clipping Fido into the seatbelt socket. Airlines have their own rules about travel boxes and crates so please contact yours before travelling!
3. Put up-to-date ID on your pet’s collar:
Microchipping dogs is now law in the UK, but it’s also a good idea to microchip your cat too. We recommend going that bit further by adding up-to-date ID on your pet’s collar, usually your name and contact number is enough but you may wish to consider putting your vet’s number on there too if your pet is under the vet’s care. You can get a huge array of tags for your pet, including specific “I’m Chipped” tags and “My Vet’s Number” tags, so Felix & Fido can look as fashionable as their owners!
4. Swap your walkies to cooler evenings:
If you’ve got some lovely hot weather wherever you are travelling, consider leaving it until the evening to take Fido out on his long walk. Most places are usually hottest between 11am-3pm, this may not be a comfortable walking time for you or your pet!
5. Carry a pet first aid kit:
This is a really good tip, having pet-safe medicines (and knowing how and when to use them) can be a life saver if the situation calls for it. You can pick up readymade pet first aid kits from most pet shops, but check with your vet before including any medications your pet doesn’t normally take.
6. Make sure vaccines are up to date:
If you’re travelling aboard, then this is a must, but if you’re travelling in the UK it’s still strongly advised to have all your pet’s vaccinations up to date. Check with your airline, travel agent, or online advice pages for country-specific required vaccines, as protection against things like rabies is mandatory in some countries.
For more advice on travelling abroad with pets, please see the government’s Pet travel website.
Hot Weather Tips
Hot weather can be great! Lazing in the sunshine, long walks on the beach, picnics in the forest, these are all lovely activities to share with your pet. Here are some tips for making sure your furry companions are as happy as you are:
7. Use Pet-safe Sunscreen:
Pets with light coloured or thin fur are especially susceptible to sunburn, and if your pet is a bit of a sun baby, she could be putting her belly, underarms, and ears at risk as these aren’t covered with much fur. There are a few varieties of sunscreen available for pets specifically, talk to your vet about the best options for your fur baby.
8. Learn the symptoms of heat stress:
Heat stress, like heat stroke in humans, can become deadly very quickly. Most of the time, keeping Fido and Felix out of direct sunshine for too long is enough to prevent heat stress, but learning to recognise the symptoms and take action before things get dangerous is vital for any owner. For more info, have a look at this WikiHow.
9. Consider life vests in water:
Your pet may love the water, and he may love swimming, but things can quickly take a turn for the worse if he gets out of his depth or falls in accidentally. Consider fitting your pooch with a dog (or cat) specific life vest to keep him afloat if the worst happens.
10. Monitor your pet’s temperature:
This tip is along the same lines as recognising heat stress symptoms. Keeping an eye on your pet’s temperature is vital in hot weather. While there’s only one way to accurately check (rectal thermometer), using your hand to check the skin temperature is a good gauge while you’re out; so you can take action immediately. For your information, a dog’s temperature should be between 38°C-39.2°C, cats should have a temperature of 37.7°C – 39.1°C.
11. Provide a cool-off space for your pet:
This can be as simple as some shade they can escape to. A kids’ paddling pool works great, as does a hose down with not-too-cold water, using wet towels to pat her down or even letting your fur ball get in the pool with you can really help too. If you choose to take your pet swimming in a pool or the sea, be sure to thoroughly rinse her down afterwards to get rid of any chlorine or salt water from her coat.
12. Hot surface? Test before going walking:
Use the five second rule for hot ground. Hold the back of your hand against the tarmac, sand or wherever you’re planning to go, if you can’t comfortably hold your hand there for more than 5 seconds, then it’s too hot for your pup’s paws. Hold off on the walk for a bit, or consider investing in hiking boots for your pet if you really must walk in the heat.
Our next tip is all about hydration and its importance for your pet!
13. Keep a fresh water supply handy:
This is really important! If you’re at home, make sure fresh water is available for your pet at all times, they might not like water that’s been standing for a while so keep an eye on them. When you’re out with your pets, be mindful about the water they drink, don’t allow them to lap up swimming pool water, lakes, dirty rivers or the sea. Preferably carry some water and a bowl for your pet and use it regularly. There are a number of water bottles designed for pets that are a handy way to carry water and a bowl without the bulk.
Keeping cool and hydrated can be great fun, consider popping some ice cubes into Fido’s bowl or freezing his favourite treats or toys in a tub of water so he has to lick it to get to them. This trick can be used for lots of pets, even domestic chickens like frozen treat ice cubes, check out this post by Fresh Eggs Daily!
If you find getting your pet to drink is becoming difficult, this could be a sign of heat stress, do not force her to drink as she could panic and inhale the water into her lungs.
Tips For The Home
Whether you’re staying at home for your holidays or just looking forward to spending the weekend with your faithful companion, these tips are here to help you both stay safe:
14. Watch out for summer pests:
Pests such as fleas are a constant bugbear for pet parents, but other problem pests such as mosquitoes, ticks, and bee and wasp stings can be a problem. The safest way to remove ticks is with a dedicated twist tick removal tool, and stings from other insects are usually not a problem, but pets can be allergic too in rare cases. Bathe in a solution of 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda to 1 pint of water to neutralise the sting.
Alabama Rot has been given a lot of media coverage recently because it can, sadly, become a deadly problem for pets. Learning to spot the signs early and getting vet attention fast is vitally important in the fight to save your pet. Please Vets4Pets’ advice for more information.
15. Ask your vet about summer grooming:
Some long-haired coated pets can benefit from grooming during the summer months. Talk to your vet or professional groomer about the options available to you and your pet.
16. Monitor your pets around BBQs and Campfires:
This is another goes without saying tip, but we’re asking you to think about this a little more in depth. Campfires and BBQs can be dangerous for your pets for the obvious reasons of stray sparks, hot metals, etc but other issues around stray food can be deadly for your pets too. Keep your pet away from foods that are bad for them, and ask your guests to respectfully not feed your animals. If you think your guests might not be able to resist, consider keeping small amounts of pet-safe treats handy!
Lots of tips there to keep you and your pets happy during the summer months. If you’re going somewhere nice, either abroad or at home, we hope the weather is good and you and your pets have a lovely time. Why not share some of your best holiday selfies with you and your furry friends on our Facebook or Twitter pages?

What is foster care?
Foster care is accepting the pet into your family and providing a loving caring home for a minimum of one week and is an alternative for those who cannot make a long-term commitment to a pet, but would still like to help homeless pets in need. It is truly a rewarding experience. Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue provides all medical care, and when necessary the basic needs for your foster care pet including food, bowls, crate, and litter when available.
The ABC's of fostering and why the foster care program is so important
Proverbs 12:10 regularly rescues animals from shelters who would be euthanized due to overcrowding, takes in unwanted litters of puppies and kittens with or without momma (although we do assist in spaying for momma regardless of whether she is released to us or not), accepts surrenders from owners who can no longer provide a loving home for the pet, as well as those found along side the road or left out in the woods.
As we do not have a shelter, we rely on fosters to provide supportive homes for our rescued animals until we can find a permanent home for the pet. Unfortunately, due to the lack of fosters, we have had to resort to boarding some of our dogs. The cost of boarding is prohibitive and that money is desperately needed to cover medical expenses as we are one of the few rescues that will accept those pets requiring extensive medical treatments such as amputations, heartworm treatments, dental and eye surgeries, tumor treatments, etc.
If you can foster for even just one week, it is a tremendous help and allows us to rescue more animals. However, whenever possible we like our pets to remain with their foster until adopted so they can experience the stability of family life which will help them adjust into their adoptive families more easily.
Should you feel hesitant to foster, whether the reason is not understanding the needs of the pet or the possibility of becoming too attached, we are available to provide whatever support we can to assist you in this process. We understand how quickly they capture your heart but knowing you are saving the life of this one animal is truly a rewarding experience. Please don’t pass up the opportunity. There are hundreds of pets being euthanized daily in Middle Tennessee alone due to overpopulation. Of course, should you do decide to adopt, you have already been through our adoption screening and been approved to foster or adopt.
We hold ADOPTION DAY at the Bellevue Petco (7657 Hwy 70 South) every Saturday and ask that you bring the pet by 10:45 AM. It is not required that the pet be at adoption day EVERY Sat, but the exposure does help them in finding a home. If it is not adopted (providing you can continue to foster), please pick it up by 3:00 PM.
Proverbs 12:10 is a 501(c) non-profit; therefore your mileage and other expenses directly related to fostering are tax deductible.

St Mirren say they will vote against proposals to change Scotland's league structure in time for next season.
SPL clubs are due to vote on the 12-12-18 proposal at Hampden on 15 April, with an 11-1 majority needed to carry the plan.
St Mirren chairman Stewart Gilmour said: "I think we've tried to rush this."
The Paisley club said the plan did not "move the game forward" nor was it "fair" on supporters.
The set-up would involve the top two divisions splitting into three leagues of eight midway through the season.
Other features of the proposals include a revised financial distribution model and the merging of the SPL and SFL, with the Scottish Football Association having also been heavily involved in the protracted discussions.
But, if SPL clubs do not vote it through, it is likely the current make-up of 12-10-10-10 will continue for next season.
Outlining their opposition to the plan, the Paisley club said: "The concept of playing 22 games prior to breaking into three leagues of eight, including the middle eight losing their points gained in the first series of games, is not a system we see as taking the game forward in the long term.
"You will be aware that other countries have tried this system and have since rejected such a set up.
"We also feel that this system is not fair to fans who buy into their club by way of a season ticket, who are then unsure of what they are purchasing.
"It is also against the basic wishes of the fans for larger leagues as highlighted in all recent fan surveys.
"In the proposed rules the voting structure is remaining, in all items that are of importance, an 11-1 vote. In our opinion, this is fundamentally wrong in any structure and is the principle reason why Scottish League Football has not been able to restructure prior to this time, a view St Mirren have held for some time."
Gilmour added: "We fundamentally disagree with what we call 'big ticket items' like the league reconstruction formula.
"Also, the 11-1 voting structure hasn't been properly sorted and that's a huge thing.
"We want one league body; an all-through distribution model but we have to listen to what fans are telling us. And they want larger leagues.
"I hope we can get back round the table and I think we've tried to rush this."

Govt opens up agri, horti, allied sector to all communities in J&K
Srinagar: The Administrative Council (AC), which met here today under the chairmanship of Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha, authorized the District Collectors to grant permission to an agriculturist to alienate land to a non-agriculturist subject to certain conditions and procedure for extending primary activities on larger commercial lines and reap benefits under economy of scale.
There have been multiple demands by Mahajans, Khatris and Sikhs for right of sale-purchase of agriculture land for investment in agriculture and allied activities. Their resentment existed on the statutory provision that defined certain section of the society as agriculturist class who alone were eligible to own agricultural land under J&K Land Alienation Act Svt.1995.
The decision thus fulfils the long pending demands from the civil society seeking rights for sale-purchase of the agriculture land for investment in agriculture and allied activities. It is expected to assist in the revamping of the agriculture sector and aid economic growth to create employment in the primary sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir has a substantial potential for agriculture and allied sectors which usually require land upto 80 kanal. The decision allows the Deputy Commissioners to permit sale of land upto 20 kanals for agriculture and allied activities, and upto 80 kanal in case of horticulture orchards. The entire process will be completed within 30 days of making an application to this effect.
The step will provide people from non-agriculturist class with the opportunity to acquire land for agriculture and allied activities and take up such activities as profession to systematically bring new investments in agriculture, horticulture and animal husbandry sectors.

Prescription glasses and contact lenses are the two most common options for correcting vision. Each has its pros and cons. Here are four reasons you might prefer prescription glasses to contact lenses.
1. Glasses are more affordable
In the long-run, glasses are easier on your wallet. If you take good care of your glasses and your prescription doesn’t change, you won’t have to replace them. Even if your prescription changes, you may only need to changes the lenses and continue using the frames. With glasses, you don’t have to worry about running out of frequently buying contact lens solution and new contact lenses.
2. Glasses reduce the risk of irritation and infection
When you wear contact lenses, you touch your eyes often than you would if you wore glasses, which puts your eyes at higher risk of becoming irritated or infected. Contacts can also restrict oxygen supply to your eyes and cause discomfort, temporary blurred vision and, in some cases, an infection. Moreover, contacts are prone to contamination while you shower, swim, or handle them with dirty hands. Wearing prescription glasses reduces or eliminates these risks.
3. Glasses are more comfortable and convenient
Contacts need more maintenance than glasses. You also need to change them frequently. Granted, contacts free you from having to wear an object on your face. But that’s where that advantage ends. Contacts are not the easiest carry. You need to bring along contact lens cases, eye drops, and lens solution. With glasses, you only need a sturdy case to store your glasses and a microfiber lens cleaning cloth.
4. Glasses express your personality and styleFrames enhance your look. They express your style and personality. Many contact wearers switch to glasses when they find a pair of frames that’s right for them. If you want to express yourself through your frames, there’s a pair for you at Bôhten. Use our Home Try On experience to find the style of glasses you love. As you look for glasses that suit you, consult with your optician to ensure you make the best choice
My eyesight has gotten worse over the years, so I was thinking of finally getting glasses to wear. It was certainly helpful when you mentioned that glasses reduce the risk of your eyes becoming irritated and infected, unlike contact lenses. I’ll have to visit eye care services tomorrow so I can get a prescription for my glasses. http://www.graysonoptical.com/products__services.html
I loved that you said that wearing prescription glasses reduces or eliminates the risks of contamination due to handling them with dirty hands. This is something that I will consider because I am planning to shop for eye care products. There are times that I could be careless with rubbing my eyes when they are itchy. Since I need help due to nearsightedness, I will consider your tips. http://www.20twentymt.com/eyewear/

The Pinacoteca Ambrosiana in Milan attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists each year and offers a great art experience.
The famous art gallery, founded in 1618 by Archbishop Federico Borromei is famous for the world’s artistic masterpieces and manuscripts, preserved to this day from the Middle Ages. Nine years before the creation of the Pinacoteca, the archbishop had already made room on the first floor for a library, where he collected rare and valuable editions brought from Western Europe, Syria and Greece.
IMPORTANT: the pale yellow two-story building with the sign “Bibliotheca Ambrosiana” is the back of the structure. After walking around it, you will notice a large black door, which is the entrance.
What to see in Ambrosiana
The modern gallery displays rare manuscripts from the monastic order of St. Benedict and the library of Gian Vincenzo Pinelli. There are also 12 manuscript materials of Leonardo da Vinci and more than 10,000 paintings of painters of the 14th-19th centuries and some works of Virgil, Aristotle and others.
All the masterpieces of art are kept in the 23 halls of the Ambrosian Gallery, named after the patron saint of the city. The first floor is entirely devoted to paintings, sketches and manuscripts from the founder’s personal collection, while the second floor is occupied by exhibits added to the collection after his death.
Real connoisseurs of art will certainly appreciate the exhibits of the Ambrosian Gallery in Milan, because it is here one can enjoy the rarest masterpieces of different eras. For example, in this particular art gallery you can see Leonardo da Vinci’s Codex Atlanticus, representing the great master’s drawings, sketches and observations on large-format sheets.
Da Vinci’s lifelong manuscript collection originally included over a thousand drawings, manuscripts and sketches documenting his scientific research from 1478, when he was still laboring in his hometown near Florence, to 1519, the year of his death in the small town of Amboise.
This rare collection contains the speculations of the genius in the fields of mechanics, hydraulics, mathematics, astronomy, apparatus and devices, and other important subjects.
Immediately after the death of the genius, the collection of manuscripts passed to his successor Francesco Melzi, who preserved it throughout his life. Alas, it was subsequently dismantled by sketchy buyers eager for profit.
The name “Codex Atlanticus” was given to the collection by the sculptor Pompeo Leoni in the seventeenth century. He put it together and named it after the large format pages resembling a large album.
The reconstructed manuscript was in storage in the Louvre in the 18th century and then moved to the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana in Milan. The Federican Hall is the place where parts of the relic are on display, replaced every 3 months.
Among the masterpieces of painting that are a must-see are:
The controversy surrounding Leonardo da Vinci’s Portrait of a Musician continues unabated. Many luminaries of science believe that the genius managed to capture only the musician’s head, and that someone else drew the hands and musical signs.
Next to Da Vinci’s work is a “Portrait of a Woman” dedicated to one of Italy’s most beautiful princesses, Beatrice D’Este, whose wedding ceremony to the Duke of Milan, Lodovico Sforza, was organized by Leonardo himself.
In the gallery is an elaborate copy of Da Vinci’s The Last Supper, which belongs to the brush of the painter Vespino.
There are also many busts and statues of famous artists. The gallery is usually not busy with tourists, which allows you to leisurely contemplate the masterpieces of art and have a nice time.
There are streetcars No12, No14, No16, No27, No2 to the destination. Get off at the Orefici Cantu stop.
Piazza Pia XI, 2, 20123, Ambrosiana, Milan; It is open every day from 10.00 to 17.30, except Mondays; Every year the gallery is closed on December 25, January 1, Easter Day and May 1.
IMPORTANT: One hour before closing time, visitors are not allowed into the museum.
Tickets can be easily purchased on site and are €15. A discount is available for students.
Additional information you may need:
- Photography and videotaping of the interior of the Pinakothek is prohibited, but the ban does not apply to the courtyards and the gallery building itself;
- There is no checkroom in the gallery;
- There is no audio guide in Russian;
Excursions to the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, which last approximately two to three hours, must be booked in advance. Russian-speaking individual guides will thoroughly explain the history of the art gallery and its masterpieces. The price of the tour does not include the cost of the ticket.
The Ambrosian Pinacoteca in Milan: Creepy paintings and Da Vinci’s famous codex
There are two pinacoteca in Milan that I suggest you visit. They are the Brera Gallery and the Ambrosiana Pinacoteca in Milan. Biblioteca Ambrosiana was opened in 1609 , at first it was just a public library. It contains the Atlantic Codex of Da Vinci, the works of Petrarch and an ancient edition of the Illiad, dating back to the 5th century.
Also, for example, a copy of The Last Supper. The Pinacoteca is located in a beautiful old palace, and inside it is very interesting. The main thing is that it is located very close to the central Duomo square – right in the center of the city.
1. Brief historical reference
The Picture Gallery appeared in the public Library of Ambrosian in 1618. Cardinal Federico Borromeo donated from his personal collection of 250 art objects to the library. Among them were paintings and sculptures and valuable books.
The entrance to the Pinacoteca (this is actually the exit, you can’t get to the exhibition through this entrance):
Here is the right entrance, it is on the other side of the building:
Enter through this door:
Three years later, Cardinal opens the Accademia Ambrosiana, a place where young, talented students could learn the fine arts.
The museum has 24 rooms featuring works from the fourteenth to the twentieth century. Five of them are occupied by the Borromeo collection.
Today it is one of the most popular museums in Milan.
2. Useful information
2.1 Where to go
Address: Piazza Pio XI, 2.
Location on the map:
2.2 How to get there
The Accademia Brera is a sight to see, but the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana is within walking distance of the Duomo. Go straight ahead on Via Orefici Cantu to the third intersection. On the left side is the intersection with Via Cesare Cantù . Go forward 2 to 3 minutes and you will immediately see the entrance of the Pinacoteca.
A view in Via Cesare Cantù:
- You can also take the metro to Cordusio and Duomo stations and then walk a few minutes.
- If you bought a hop-on/hop-off tourist bus ticket, the Duomo stop will suit you.
- Streetcar 12, 14, 16, 27, 2 to the station Orefici Cantu .
You can also get to the Pinacoteca with a guided tour – for example, a very interesting tour of Milan that takes you to the Ambrosian Pinacoteca as well – “Leonardo da Vinci’s Traces in Milan”. The guide will tell you about the exhibits of the Pinacoteca and other interesting places associated with the name of the great inventor. It costs 144 euros for a group of up to 10 people. It is advantageous if you are traveling with family or friends.
2.3 Visiting hours
All days except Monday: 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
- 15 euros for adults;
- 10 euros for children, seniors (over 65) and students;
- 13 euros if you have a MilanoCard (you can read more about this discount card here).
You have to buy tickets on the other side of the building, that’s where the entrance to the exhibition is:
You can also buy a ticket and take an audio guide if you buy the tour for 16.50 euros. A great option!
Or here is another option – a tour with an English speaking guide and tickets to the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana and the Last Supper in Santa Maria del Grazio – costs 75 euros .
2.5 Official website

3. Photo gallery overview
The Pinacoteca is located in the building of the Ambrosian Palace. Recall that St. Ambrosius (Ambrose) is the patron saint of the city. It’s very beautiful inside! Huge library with antique books and wooden shelves, spacious palace halls with chic interiors.
3.1 The Pinakothek building and interiors
You can leave an umbrella on the left and scan a ticket on the right:
This is also where the current library is located:
The entrance to the corridors of the Pinacoteca:
Very nice staircase and absolutely no visitors, amazing:
There is also a small inner courtyard. To go from the halls to the halls, you have to go outside:
Keep this in mind if you plan to leave outerwear in the checkroom – it can be quite chilly in winter:
3.3 Pinakothek Exhibitions
There’s a lot to see here – more than 10,000 exhibits.
The entire exhibit can be divided into several areas:
- Library, Da Vinci’s Atlantic Codex originals;
- The collection of Borromeo paintings;
- Objects of Art.
The stained glass windows are as if built into the interior:
Paintings in just the right light, almost all paintings are illuminated, so that the colors seem brighter than they really are:
Among other things, lots of ancient astronomical instruments, such as armillary spheres (similar to small globes) – they were used to determine the coordinates of celestial bodies. By the way, one of the largest armillary spheres (as tall as a man) is in the Galileo Galilei Museum in Florence. Here are also quite small devices:
Very interesting interiors – behind a column in a small nook you can find a famous painting:
Egyptian Obelisks, a copy of such an obelisk we saw in Sultanahmet Square in Istanbul:
I liked that inside there are no crowds like in Brera, you can relax on the sofas:
3.4 Famous Paintings of the Pinakothek
Most of the paintings came to the Ambrosiana from private collections. There are also quite unique pieces of art here:
- Cardboard for Raphael’s School of Athens;
- casts that Michelangelo made for Laocoon and the Pieta;
- Rare sculptures by Leoni;
- Paintings by Botticelli and Titian;
- “Portrait of a Musician” by Leonardo da Vinci;
- Caravaggio’s “Basket of Fruit.”
The last two works are recognized as the most valuable in the art museum.
Creepy, but you’ll see quite a few of these paintings, apparently it was common in those days:
Another valuable thing is a collection of copies of famous paintings. For example, a scroll with a copy of The Last Supper. If you remember, the original is also in Milan, in the Church of Santa Maria della Grazie. Unfortunately, the original has suffered a lot over the years, and the lower part of the fresco was removed by the monks themselves.
You will also see
- Ghirlandaio’s “Adoration of the Child.”
- “Vechellio’s Adoration of the Magi;
- “Botticelli’s Madonna under the Canopy.
3.5 The Library and the Da Vinci Code
The Pinacoteca houses Da Vinci’s Atlantic Codex. It is an amazing collection of the great master’s notes and drawings. They were separate sheets, but Pompeo Leoni, who got his hands on them, compiled them into a single manuscript.
Entrance to Leonardo’s room:
A copy of the Last Supper. The original is also in Milan, in the refectory of the Church of Santa Maria della Grazie:
Another work by Da Vinci’s brush:
In addition, you’ll see 12 texts written in Da Vinci’s hand in the library.
The room with the ancient books, the Ambrosian library, just struck me:
The lights dimmed so as not to spoil the books, and on the stands are the original sheets of Da Vinci’s codex:
Here’s the original from the Da Vinci Codex:
Probably one of the most impressive spectacles in this museum is precisely the library room with the Atlantic Codex, a must visit!
3.6 Gift Shop and Exit
After the library you get to the gift store. It is also decorated in the style of the library, but the publications on the shelves are modern:
Nice souvenirs for aspiring artists:
You can even buy a copy of the codex:
Good art publications, a whole booth dedicated to Leonardo:
Strange exit behind the curtains:
Most of all it was interesting to see Da Vinci’s original codex, the Pinacoteca itself has some pretty creepy paintings on display, so I wouldn’t recommend going with young children. I, of course, understand that it’s great art, but it was too much for me.
But the interiors are very beautiful, a real palace. It takes an hour and a half to look around – there are a lot of rooms, you can’t see everything at once. I think that art lovers will appreciate all the charm of this place.
The entrance and exit are on different sides of the building. I left my umbrella at the entrance – then I had to go around the whole building and return for it. It’s best not to leave clothes in the checkroom, because in the cold season it will be chilly on the passage between the halls.
It turns out that very few tourists know about the Pinacoteca of Milan. Have you ever been in one? Perhaps you visited the Brera Pinacoteca? Where did you like it best? I would recommend visiting both, as each has its own “zest”, its own interesting artifacts and objects of art.

The United States National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) has granted domestic credit unions that are under the aegis of the Federally Insured Credit Unions (FICUs) the permission to enter into business partnerships with third-party digital currency trading platforms.
As contained in a letter addressed to the credit unions, the NCUA said its aim is to eliminate all lack of clarity in the designated model in which the credit unions operate.
“The purpose of this letter is to provide clarity about the already existing authority of federally insured credit unions (FICUs) to establish relationships with third-party providers that offer digital asset services to the FICUs’ members, provided certain conditions are met. This includes third-party provided services to allow FICU members to buy, sell, and hold uninsured digital assets with the third-party provider outside of the FICU. Digital assets are one of many terms used to describe distributed ledger technology (DLT) based tokens,” the NCUA letter reads.
Following the new clarity provided, the NCUA said it is not prohibiting business associations with cryptocurrency-based firms to work under the new change and it said it will be approving all forms of proposed partnerships between its members and crypto firms in the near future.
The NCUA also said in the letter that it plans to establish a more robust guideline that will give clearer direction to credit unions in the country as it relates to Digital Assets service providers.
“A [union’s] relationship with third parties offering [crypto-related] services and related technologies will be evaluated by the NCUA in the same manner as all other third-party relationships,” the regulator said, adding that “This includes a FICU exercising sound judgment and conducting the necessary due diligence, risk assessment, and planning when choosing to introduce or bring together an outside vendor with its members. FICUs should establish effective risk measurement, monitoring, and control practices for such third-party arrangements.”
With this prompt, industry participants will not need to operate in a vacuum or do anything that will be against the law, the way the SEC is accusing Ripple of trading XRP coin as a security, stirring a lawsuit.

A new report by Crisis Group warns against international donors cutting aid to Afghanistan in the wake of the Taliban’s curbs on women’s education and ability to work at NGOs, instead arguing for Western countries to find a “liminal space between pariah and legitimate status” to respond to the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
The report, released on Thursday, focused primarily on two Taliban edicts announced in December – the first suspending female education at private and public universities, and the second banning Afghan women from working at local and international NGOs. The moves led to protests and global condemnation, while sounding a possible death knell for the Taliban’s initial openness to engage with the international community following its takeover of the country in August 2021.
Keep readinglist of 3 items
Accompanying the Taliban’s clampdown has been a reassessment of international aid from key international government donors, according to the report’s authors. That aid, despite being immediately paused in the wake of the group’s rise to power, had resumed amid concerns over widespread hunger and poverty in the country of about 40 million.
“Donors are turning away from Afghanistan, disgusted by the Taliban’s restrictions on women’s basic freedoms,” Graeme Smith, Crisis Group’s Senior Consultant on Afghanistan, said in a statement accompanying the report.
“However, cutting aid to send a message about women’s rights will only make the situation worse for all Afghans,” he added. “The most principled response to the Taliban’s misogyny would be finding ways to mitigate the harms inflicted on women and other vulnerable groups.”
The report – which drew on dozens of interviews with “Afghan and international women activists, current and former Afghan officials, teachers, students, aid workers, human rights defenders, development officials, diplomats, business leaders and other interlocutors” – noted Western governments in the second half of 2022 warned aid agencies of a growing sense of donor fatigue towards Afghanistan. It did not name the governments to which it referred.
The authors further warned that following the most recent rights rollbacks, “many Western politicians fear voters will not accept the idea of their taxes helping a country ruled by an odious regime,” while adding that “consultations in January 2023 among major donors produced initial thinking that aid should be trimmed back to send a message to the Taliban, although the governments involved did not agree on which budgets to cut”.
Again, the report did not name the countries in question.
The United Nations, which has already had to roll back some aid operations in the wake of the ban on NGO workers, has appealed for $4.6bn to aid Afghanistan. The sum is the largest request for a single country ever. The UN has warned that 28 million people are in need of humanitarian aid, accounting for two-thirds of the country’s population.
But Crisis Group warned that “Western governments seemed poised to fall significantly short” of that appeal.
The report authors added that options discussed in the wake of the December edict have included “deepening sanctions, cutting aid or levying other forms of punishment in response”.
They noted that the G7 grouping of the world’s most wealthy countries had said there would be “consequences for how our countries engage with the Taliban” in the wake of the December edicts. The grouping had provided $3bn in humanitarian funding for Afghanistan in 2022, the report noted.
In the United States, which imposed a raft of new sanctions on the Taliban in October over their treatment of women, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said: “There are going to be costs if this is not reversed”.
The report’s authors argued any approach that included short-term cuts to aid in the hopes of undermining the Taliban’s authority would further harm those targeted by the Taliban’s recent moves.
“Testing such assumptions would involve a high-stakes gamble with potentially millions of human lives. Win or lose, the costs of taking the gamble would be paid in large part by Afghan women, as the burdens of the crisis fall disproportionately on them,” the report said.
It noted that “women and girls often get the smallest share of food in Afghan families, which means that in times of scarcity they are most vulnerable to malnutrition and disease”, while child marriages tend to increase during times of increased hardship.
Change of approach
Instead, Crisis Group argued that continuing to offer humanitarian aid, while supporting longer-term development aid, would address the population’s immediate needs, while undermining the “Taliban’s overheated rhetoric about a titanic clash between Islam and the West”.
The authors further cautioned against expecting outside pressure to change the Taliban’s approach, highlighting the opaque nature of the group’s decision-making. They noted its reclusive leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada, has appeared to insist on the strict measures out of “personal conviction and to assert his authority over the movement and the country”.
“As the world considers its options, the idea of coaxing the Taliban into behaving like an internationally acceptable government should be set aside for the moment,” the report said.
There is little room for opposing views within the Taliban leadership, it added, and influence from outside Muslim figures has proven ineffective as “the Taliban’s policies are drawn not only from their atypical interpretation of Islam, but also from aspects of local culture”.
Meanwhile, political talks with the Taliban aimed at creating a “roadmap” to normalisation have all but stalled. It also remains unclear how much money the group may be earning from narcotics and other forms of smuggling, bringing into question how much sanctions will actually affect the upper echelons of leadership.
“Western policymakers must stand up for Afghan women and girls. At the same time, they should be careful to avoid self-defeating policies,” the report concluded.
“Practical steps that materially benefit Afghan women, improving their lives in tangible ways, would be superior to angry denunciations of the Taliban’s wrongheadedness.”
The authors added: “The Taliban should find a better way of making decisions, instead of following the whims of a leader who has proven his determination to oppress women and block the rebuilding of his country. Until that happens, the future of Afghanistan looks bleak.”

The last few years have been trying for the London property market. Covid-19 is the most immediately apparent source of trepidation and uncertainty, but it is not the only source of London’s current woes. The other elephant in the room is Brexit. Both of these events present enormous challenges for London’s property market in both the short and long-term.
No one is quite sure how these situations will play out; both are unprecedented for the UK. There is little doubt that London’s property market will survive. But the road ahead is going to be a difficult one.
What Factors Are Affecting The London Property Market
Either Brexit or Covid-19 in isolation would create problems for London’s property market. That the city is facing both challenges simultaneously only makes them each more damaging. The fact that there is still so much uncertainty about what Brexit will look like is further exacerbating the situation.
In fact, uncertainty is very much the name of the game right now. Anyone who is considering buying or selling property in the Greater London area needs to be mindful of this uncertainty. As things currently stand, the UK is going to sever ties with Europe in just over three months. The shroud of uncertainty that hangs over the UK’s future relationship with the EU means that it is challenging for even the most experienced property investors to predict what will happen over the next year or two.
The damage to London’s property market from the Brexit vote began before we even had the referendum. As the big day approached, it became clear that a leave victory was a possibility. This possibility was enough to send jitters through the market, slowing it accordingly. When leave won the referendum, many market analysts were relieved, despite London voting heavily to remain in the EU. Investors hoped that the results would end the uncertainty. However, the result turned out to be the beginning of the uncertainty, not the end.
Before the referendum, London’s property market had been growing steadily. The vote to leave stalled that progress, and the market has since struggled to regain its momentum. Many analysts had projected that London’s property market would be shielded to some extent by wealthy foreign investors. These investors would take advantage of a weakening pound to purchase more property in the capital.
But whatever benefits the Brexit vote may have brought to London’s property market were negated by the emergence of Covid-19. The pandemic bought the entire industry to a standstill for a few months. The property market is only just beginning to open up again, and it is far too early to say when or if it will return to its pre-pandemic levels.
What London Property Market Predictions Are The Professionals Making?
In times of uncertainty, investors turn to analysts and other professionals who make their living predicting the future. At the best of times, making predictions about the property market is an imperfect science. Numerous factors can affect the market’s performance. Even with the benefit of knowledge and experience, it isn’t always easy to predict the interplay between these factors.
Covid-19 and Brexit both present unique challenges for the property market because they are unprecedented. Even the best analysts are trying to make predictions and draw conclusions regarding situations that they have never encountered before. In short, the exceptional nature of current events is making things challenging for analysts and investors alike. With those caveats in mind, we can still learn a lot by listening to what analysts are predicting.
While there is a consensus emerging about the broad strokes, the details of the market’s expected trajectory vary from analyst to analyst. For example, most property analysts are forecasting a drop in house prices this year. But most expect prices to rebound to some degree reasonably quickly.
Reuters conducted a poll of property experts. The consensus from this pool of experts was that property prices would fall by around 5% this year before rebounding 1.5% in 2021 and reaching 3.5% by the end of 2022. Under this model, prices would not recover until 2023 at the earliest.
Similarly, Lloyds Banking Group predicted the same 5% drop but were more optimistic about the recovery, forecasting a 2% rebound by the end of 2021. Knight Frank expect prices to fall, but by 3% rather than 5%. But they are also anticipating a rise of 5% in 2021, which could lead to a net increase in house prices of 2%.
While the majority of analysts are making relatively precise predictions, Savills was one of the few who seems to have accepted the uncertainty. According to Savills, this year will see a price drop of between 5 and 10% and a recovery of roughly half that value in 2021.
Finally, Zoopla is another outlier in that they are predicting a straight-up increase in property values as the pent-up demand that has been building since the introduction of lockdown is released.
Is Now A Good Time To Invest In The London Property Market?
This question is the big one for many people. Whether you are considering buying property as an investment or because you are looking for a new home, the question of whether you should be buying right now is a difficult one for many. There is always a degree of uncertainty involved in the property market. No one has a perfect crystal ball they can use to see the future. But there is clearly a great deal more uncertainty in the property market right now than there usually is.
Irrespective of the type of property that you are investing in, there are some simple things that you can do to mitigate the unavoidable uncertainty. For investors, it is more important than ever that they are working with reliable and trustworthy developers. Similarly, having a tenant lined up and in place will give you one less thing to worry about. The value of any property to an investor immediately increases if it comes with a reliable tenant. This principle applies to commercial and residential properties in equal measure.
You can also try to use the current situation to your advantage. The ongoing market uncertainty, coupled with people’s anxieties about the future of the property market, means there are a lot of sellers who are more willing to negotiate than they otherwise would have been. Developers who have newly-built properties that they need to fill have been scrambling to find suitable tenants. No one could have predicted the pandemic. The time between the virus first emerging and the implementation of lockdowns was just a few months. This brief window gave little time for developers who already had projects underway to take measures to protect themselves.
Another potential silver lining of uncertainty in the property market is that there are some real bargains to be had at auction. Purchasing property at auction has always been an effective way of sniffing out good deals. But with the Covid-19 pandemic driving up unemployment and damaging businesses, the range of properties going under the hammer has increased.
All things considered, there is no reason that investors should be scared away from investing in London property. However, if you are going to invest, you must take into account the ongoing uncertainty. If possible, you should also aim to set aside more money than usual to act as a cushion against any losses you might incur on the market.
When Will The London Property Rental Market Recover?
This question is another one that everyone wants to know the answer to. However, no one can say with any certainty how long it is going to take the market to recover. As we outlined above, most analysts are predicting some kind of rebound over the next few years. But few people are anticipating that we will return to our pre-pandemic market before 2023.
It isn’t just house prices that will need time to correct themselves. The pandemic has also heralded changes in consumer behaviour and has shifted priorities for many. Whether these changes will revert as predictably as house prices eventually will remains to be seen. There may be long-term changes to society as a whole resulting from the pandemic, and these could lead to permanent changes in behaviour.
For example, now that working from home is much more commonplace, and many businesses are toying with the idea of offering it permanently, people’s priorities when buying property may well be different. Working from home means that it is less important for people to consider commuting when choosing a home. It also means that consumers will place a greater emphasis on the local internet infrastructure and gravitate towards properties that have room for a study or workspace.
With all the speculation about how Covid is going to reshape our world in the long-term, anything seems possible. But for the London property market, the double-whammy of Covid and Brexit is creating an impenetrable storm of uncertainty. Anyone planning on buying or selling property in the near future needs to factor this uncertainty in when they are making their choices.

A riveting, pitch-perfect murder mysterythe work of a truly masterful storyteller. Conjuring contemporary Venice in exquisite and alluring detail, this is widely hailed as the finest installment yet of the Commissario Guido Brunetti series.
For over a decade, Donna Leon has topped European bestseller lists and captivated fans throughout the world with her series of mysteries featuring the shrewd, charismatic Commissario Guido Brunetti. Guiding us through contemporary Venice's dark undercurrents of personal politics, corruption, and intrigue, Donna Leon's is "crime writing of the highest order: powerful, relevant and too full of human failings" (The Guardian).
This time, Commissario Brunetti faces an unsettling case that, because he is the father of a young son, hits him especially close to home. The body of a student has been found hanged in Venice's elite, highly cloistered military academy. The young man is the son of a doctor and former politician, a member of Parliament who had an impeccable integrity all too rare in Italian politics. Dr. Moro is clearly devastated by his son's death, but while both he and his apparently estranged wife seem convinced that the boy's death could not have been suicide, neither appears eager to help in the investigation of the mysterious circumstances in which he died. Bolstered by the help the elegant and crafty Signorina Elettra, and the cooking and sympathetic ear of his wife, Paola, Commissario Brunetti sets off on an investigation that gets him caught up in the strange and stormy politics of his country's powerful elite.
When Brunetti plunges into Dr. Moro's political career and the circumstances of the doctor's estrangement from his wife, he discovers unsettling details. How to explain the mysterious hunting accident in which Signora Moro was involved, and the fact that her marriage crumbled so soon after? As he investigates, Brunetti is faced with a wall of silence, because the military, who protects its own, and civilians, even at the cost of their lives, are unwilling to talk. Is this the natural reluctance of Italians to involve themselves with the authorities, or is Brunetti facing something altogether darker?
Uniform Justice, the 12th book about Guido Brunetti, is a riveting, pitch-perfect murder mysterythe work of a truly masterful storyteller. Conjuring contemporary Venice in exquisite and alluring detail, Donna Leon offers what has been widely hailed as the finest installment yet of the Commissario Guido Brunetti series.
Thirst woke him. It was not the healthy thirst that follows three sets of tennis or a day spent skiing, thirst that comes slowly: it was the grinding, relentless thirst that comes of the body's desperate attempt to replenish liquids that have been displaced by alcohol. He lay in his bed, suddenly awake, covered with a thin film of sweat, his underwear damp and clinging.
At first he thought he could outwit it, ignore it and fall back into the sodden sleep from which his thirst had prodded him. He turned on his side, mouth open on the pillow, and pulled the covers up over his shoulder. But much as his body craved more rest, he could not force it to ignore his thirst nor the faint nervousness of his stomach. He lay there, inert and utterly deprived of will, and told himself to go back to sleep.
For some minutes he succeeded, but then a church bell somewhere towards the city poked him back to consciousness. The idea of liquid seeped into his mind: a glass of sparkling...

Councilman Brian Bergman said during last week’s public hearing that he wants the commission chairman — Larry Black — to sign off along with city staff on any of the development proposals that otherwise wouldn’t need to go the commission or City Council.
“We do need to make the process easier and more friendly,” Bergman said.
“(But) I’d like to have the Planning Commission chairman co-sign (the plans),” Bergman said. “It put another set of eyes on the document. It doesn’t change the process.”
Black said Monday he needs more information and time before commenting.
No date has been set for the commission to again consider the code changes.
The proposal to alter the municipal code could make changes in the verbiage, streamlining the code and give more discretion to staff.
For example, instead of always requiring lighting plans, the proposed new code only would require such a plan for new construction. For all other projects, in particular when no exterior lighting is proposed, the city’s community development director will decide if such a plan is needed.
Another example of providing discretion deals with the requirement for landscaping plan.
If the project involves more than half of the structure’s floor area or addition of a second floor, a landscaping plan will be required. Otherwise, it’s again left to the decision of the community development director.
Several residents told the council Thursday that providing more discretion would ruin the city’s rural lifestyle.
“Exempting non-conforming projects from review will cause real and significant negative impacts to neighbors, such as the loss of privacy, lowering of property values, sound intrusion and loss of landscaping,” said Stephen Blagden.
Resident Aida Lough said the proposal would give staff too much power.
“It’s giving her so much power,” said Lough, referring to City Manager Shauna Clark who also is the community development director. “If she doesn’t like someone, there will be trouble.”
But resident Faith Grimm said that while it might appear as if staff was getting great, power, that’s not true.
“If your read them thoroughly, these changes only affect smaller remodels,” Grimm said. “Our codes are in full force for new residential construction or modification of residential structure involving 50 percent or more.”

There’s been a rash of articles recently making fun of parents in a Georgia school district (for non-U.S. readers, that’s a state in the “Bible belt”) for being upset about yoga being taught at school. The parents apparently called it “anti-Christian propaganda.” The liberal circles in which I run immediately called them stupid and ignorant.
And while I do agree that yoga is not “anti-Christian” or “propaganda,” I have to wonder why no one in any of these articles has ever asked Hindus what they think about this.
Personally, and I know not all Hindus will agree with me on this, I think the parents have a point. We have a policy of not bringing faith and religion into our schools. Yoga is not “just exercise.” And the eye-rolling about the parents’ concerns tells me that yoga has really and truly been fully co-opted by non-Hindu Americans.
It’s strange to me that the very people who are usually so quick to point out cultural misappropriation don’t notice this blatant case right in front of their eyes.Yoga is a part of a religion. It was created by Hindus and has a spiritual purpose. I think it is wrong to separate those things. I’m also not okay with the poses being used but calling it something else. Yoga poses were created to align body, mind, and soul. The discipline is meant to develop you spiritually.
So that’s my point of view on it. But again, the biggest problem I’m having is that no one is talking to Hindus about this. Non-Hindu Americans are speaking for yoga and that’s what’s scary to me.

Mark Cuban is also entertained through chatbots like Microsoft-backed ChatGPT and Google’s upcoming Bard — however he is not able to accept as true with them.
On-line incorrect information “is simplest going to worsen” as synthetic intelligence platforms evolve and unfold, the billionaire tech entrepreneur and investor mentioned on a contemporary episode of comic Jon Stewart’s podcast, “The Downside with Jon Stewart.”
Presently, incorrect information has a tendency to unfold via social media platforms like Fb or Twitter — and that’s the reason with some semblance of human guardrails in position, Cuban mentioned. However with ChatGPT and different an identical platforms, the machines are in regulate.
“As soon as these items get started taking over a lifetime of their very own … it is going to be tricky for us to outline why and the way the device makes the selections it makes, and who controls the device,” Cuban mentioned.
Masses of tens of millions of customers have attempted ChatGPT to put in writing poems, be offering recommendation and recite recipes because the platform introduced in November. However to this point, the generation is not appearing itself to be smarter than the typical human.
Posting the chatbot’s simplistic mistakes is a well-liked social media development. Now and then, ChatGPT incorrectly solutions math issues, refuses to reply to elementary riddles or even “hallucinates”— or utterly makes up historic figures, occasions and different main points that appear to be information.
ChatGPT too can contradict itself, every now and then offering other solutions when time and again requested the similar query.
In a similar fashion, stocks of Google’s dad or mum corporate Alphabet dropped greater than 9% this week after Bard incorrectly responded a query about NASA’s James Webb Area Telescope in one among Google’s first commercials for the AI platform.
A raft of Google staff have blamed CEO Sundar Pichai for Bard’s “rushed, botched” unlock, with the corporate feeling harassed to compete with ChatGPT, CNBC reported on Friday.
“Dashing Bard to marketplace in a panic validated the marketplace’s concern about us,” learn one put up on an inside Google discussion board reviewed through CNBC, along a photograph of a face-palming chicken.
The mistakes display that the generation continues to be in childish levels. That is an issue, particularly for massive swaths of people that do not all the time truth test claims they see on the net, Cuban mentioned.
“Our era, Gen X and older, does not get it,” Cuban mentioned. “Gen Z and more youthful, they are no longer simplest local to it, they know the way to dam issues out … They are extra in song to most of these problems.”
Microsoft, for its phase, recognizes that the generation in the back of ChatGPT is not highest — even because it plans to include it into an upcoming model of its seek engine, Bing.
“Bing will every now and then misrepresent the tips it reveals, and you might even see responses that sound convincing however are incomplete, misguided, or beside the point,” the corporate’s just lately up to date FAQ web page says.
Within the brief time period, that may be an issue — a priority Cuban stocks with fellow tech billionaire Steve Wozniak. However different business luminaries have expressed pleasure concerning the generation’s longer-term probabilities.
Microsoft co-founder Invoice Gates, for instance, thinks platforms like ChatGPT constitute a burgeoning technological revolution that’ll make a “massive have an effect on” on well being care and training, he informed German-language industry newspaper Handelsblatt’s “Disrupt” podcast on Thursday.
“Nowadays, they require an excessive amount of computation, they are no longer all the time correct … However even this week, you’ll be able to have bulletins from Microsoft and Google, the place they are competing to steer on this area,” Gates mentioned. “The development over the following couple of years to make these items even higher will likely be profound.”

Europe is a continent located no question in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Asia to the east, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. It comprises the westernmost part of Eurasia.
Europe is most commonly considered to be at odds from Asia by the watershed divides of the Ural and Caucasus Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian and Black Seas and the waterways of the Turkish Straits. Although the term “continent” implies visceral geography, the estate be next to is somewhat arbitrary and has been redefined several grow old previously its first conception in classical antiquity. The separation of Eurasia into two continents reflects East-West cultural, linguistic and ethnic differences which change on a spectrum rather than later than a bright dividing line. The geographic be close to between Europe and Asia does not follow any let in boundaries: Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Kazakhstan are transcontinental countries. France, Portugal, Netherlands, Spain and associated Kingdom are furthermore transcontinental in that the main allowance is in Europe while pockets of their territory are located in supplementary continents.
Europe covers just about 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000 sq mi), or 2% of the Earth’s surface (6.8% of land area). Politically, Europe is estranged into roughly fifty sovereign states of which the Russian Federation is the largest and most populous, spanning 39% of the continent and comprising 15% of its population. Europe had a sum population of not quite 741 million (about 11% of the world population) as of 2016. The European climate is largely affected by warm Atlantic currents that temper winters and summers upon much of the continent, even at latitudes along which the climate in Asia and North America is severe. additional from the sea, seasonal differences are more noticeable than near to the coast.
Europe, in particular ancient Greece and ancient Rome, was the birthplace of Western civilization. The drop of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD and the subsequent Migration epoch marked the stop of ancient records and the introduction of the middle Ages. Renaissance humanism, exploration, art and science led to the campaigner era. back the Age of Discovery started by Portugal and Spain, Europe played a predominant role in global affairs. in the middle of the 16th and 20th centuries, European powers controlled at various become old the Americas, approaching all of Africa and Oceania and the majority of Asia.
The Age of Enlightenment, the subsequent French mayhem and the Napoleonic Wars shaped the continent culturally, politically and economically from the end of the 17th century until the first half of the 19th century. The Industrial Revolution, which began in great Britain at the stop of the 18th century, gave rise to highly developed economic, cultural and social bend in Western Europe and eventually the wider world. Both world wars took area for the most ration in Europe, contributing to a fall in Western European dominance in world affairs by the mid-20th century as the Soviet hold and the united States took prominence. During the frosty War, Europe was estranged along the Iron Curtain amid NATO in the West and the Warsaw unity in the East, until the revolutions of 1989 and fall of the Berlin Wall.
In 1949 the Council of Europe was founded, later a speech by Sir Winston Churchill, considering the idea of unifying Europe to attain common goals. It includes all European states except for Belarus, Kazakhstan and Vatican City. extra European integration by some states led to the formation of the European sticking to (EU), a separate political entity that lies in the company of a confederation and a federation. The EU originated in Western Europe but has been expanding eastward since the fall of the Soviet bond in 1991.

Chargers’ Philip Rivers earns NFL Comeback Player of the Year honor
- Updated: February 2, 2014
The veteran signal-caller edged out AFC West division foe Knowshon Moreno by five votes with a total of 13 to take home the award, which is given annually by the AP to the player who the voters feel made the most remarkable recovery from the previous season, whether from injury or adverse circumstances.
For Rivers, it was the latter as he struggled to do anything worthwhile from 2011 to 2012. During that abysmal stretch of his career, he committed 47 turnovers and took a mind-boggling 79 sacks. Former Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt deserves a lot of the credit for Rivers’ success. The Bolts’ passing game was prolific thanks to the fusion of Whisenhunt’s penchant for playcalling and Rivers’ accuracy.
In 2013, Rivers made his fifth Pro Bowl and tied a career-high in quarterback rating with a mark of 105.5. He also set a career mark with a 69.5 completion percentage while throwing for 4,478 yards and 32 touchdowns, just two shy of his career-high. What may have sealed the win was potentially the “eye” test, where Rivers looked more comfortable all season with few exceptions en route to a 9-7 finish and an improbable playoff run.

Hi Shannon, I understand your confusion. There is a comma missing in the instructions after the word "crackers". The sentence should read: Continue baking, stirring every 3 minutes, until coconut is well toasted and the color of graham crackers, and oats are beginning to brown, about 6 to 8 minutes more.
There was mention of graham crackers in the recipe directions but no mention of them in the ingredient list. Anyone know how much and should they be broken/ crumbled?
