Brexit-III

Meanwhile sterling has slid to its lowest lever against the dollar in the last seven years. And many big companies in Britain have expressed the choose to remain in. These are part of the result for fearing Brexit.
It's useless to say the the political destiny of Mr Cameron is now in the polls. 
It's very hard to imagine his staying still in Dowining street if he looses his campaign for UK remaining in the European Union.
Now the debate between the two parties, pro Brexit and against, is getting warmer.
The Brexiters say UK will become greater again out of the European club. They also add that economic adavantages can be provided by bilateral agreements as many other countries have done with the EU; and they quote Canada, South Korea, India, China and many others.
Nevertheless observers note that bilateral economic treaties might not work the same with Great Britain. Furthermore there is much more involving of EU in the fight against terrorism that Britain could not achieve on its own.
It seems to me that most of the Brexiters issues are only nothing but a nostalgic dream over a greatness which can be reached only staying inside the European Union.
And this is woth also for France and Germany.
But the road for an integrated political EU is still hard; just paved with good intentions, at the very moment.
I still believe, none the same, the European Union has a great future: with or without English people.

How to Keep Baby Cool in the Summer Without AC

Staying cool during the summer isn’t just a desire for babies, it’s a necessity. Babies who become overheated can suffer terrible consequences, ranging from heat exhaustion to heatstroke. While babies can’t exactly tell you when they are hot, there are signs that can indicate your baby is overheating. Some signs that indicate overheating include your baby being extremely thirsty, tired, and having skin that is cool and moist.
Overheating is one of the leading causes of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) according to the National Sleep Foundation.  When babies are too warm they sleep deeper, which can lead to trouble. For this reason, it’s important not to overdress your baby for sleep. When she is sleeping in her crib and there is no air conditioning in her room, putting her in a onesie or a pair of light pajamas is best.  You’ll also want to have a fan running in her room to circulate the air, but make sure that the fan isn’t blowing directly on her. To cool the air that the fan is blowing you can put a pan of ice water in front of it.
A good rule of thumb is to dress your baby like you are comfortably dressed, plus one layer. If you are comfortable wearing shorts and a T-shirt then put her in that as well, plus a onesie underneath.  If you’re burning up and have a pair of shorts on, leaving your baby just in her diaper may be appropriate.  Try to avoid synthetic fabrics when dressing her as they tend to trap the heat and moisture in instead of allowing her skin to breathe.
If you are going to be going outside with your baby then dress her in lightweight cotton long pants, long sleeves, and a floppy hat.  Keep her in the shade and preferably somewhere she can feel a breeze.  It’s better to keep her skin covered than to use sunscreen on a very young infant.  If you must use sunscreen, apply it conservatively and only to the areas of skin that are exposed. You’ll also want to avoid being outside between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m because the sun’s rays are the most damaging during these times.
On hot days holding your baby can cause her to become too hot. Your body is warm against hers and she can overheat from being held close to you.  If you must use a baby carrier, make sure it’s a lightweight nylon or mesh one and not something heavy like denim.  You want to use breathable fabrics wherever possible.
It’s also essential to keep babies hydrated when it’s hot outside.  Babies sweat too, and in warmer weather you need to make sure that you are giving her plenty of fluids.  Infants over six months of age can be given water to help keep them hydrated.
Water play can be a good option for those babies that are able to sit up on their own.  Never leave your baby unattended during water play or a bath.  Babies love to splash in the water.  Taking her to a covered baby pool will also help to keep her cool.  If these things are not an option, putting a cool wash cloth on your baby from time to time throughout the day will help keep her cool.
If it just seems too hot both in your home and outside and you fear that your baby is too warm it’s a good idea to go hang out in a public place with air conditioning.  The library or the mall can offer convenient, cool choices.
If you feel like your baby is becoming sick from the heat, contact her healthcare provider. Heat exhaustion and heatstroke are serious conditions that warrant medical attention.

Royals on their own!


May be because they lost the last world war; or might be for desire of fame; or, who knows?, for need of money; whatever can be the reason, the Italian royals Savoia started working very hard in order to pay their own fees.


The youngest heir of the family became a very busy TV showman!


Of course we don't mean British Royals should do the same!


At least they didn't escape during the war nor they involved their country in an insane dictatorship!


Anyway we prefer the Italian royals being showmen (of course if they are able to play with!)

"Scotland Yard chief Sir Paul Stephenson has expressed concerns about the costs of protecting Princess Eugenie and other 'B-list' royals

Britain's top policeman has expressed concerns about the cost to the taxpayer of protecting Princess Eugenie and other 'B-list' royals.

Metropolitan Police chief Sir Paul Stephenson is looking at how best to use resources at his cash-strapped force.

One area of concern is the cost of armed, round-the-clock protection for the 19-year-old princess - a renowned party animal - during her first year at Newcastle University.

Insiders estimate it at £250,000 a year - including salaries, accommodation, living and travel expenses.

Sir Paul is involved in a fierce dispute with ministers over the estimated £50million a year cost of protecting 22 members of the Royal Family.

He has told Home Secretary Alan Johnson the Government should pay the full amount rather than the £30million it currently provides.

Dai Davies, a respected former head of the Yard's Royalty Protection Squad, said some officers had expressed their doubts about the need for Eugenie to have full-time armed bodyguards.

He said: 'I am not aware of any evidence of any threat to her. If there isn’t a threat, it would appear to be a pointless exercise. It’s difficult to see the justification in security terms for providing such protection 24/7.'

Policing arrangements for Prince Andrew’s children have come under intense scrutiny in recent years.
The attempted mugging of Eugenie while she was travelling in Cambodia in May 2009 during her gap year highlighted the role of her protection officers.

They were able to defend her because they had accompanied her during her trip.
Critics pointed out, however, that it was Eugenie’s decision to go backpacking that attracted the threat. She was not targeted because she was a royal and therefore should not get VIP treatment from the Yard, they add.

A number of cynics have also questioned how details of the mugging were leaked to a national newspaper, which duly splashed her 'ordeal', just weeks after the row over her security arrangements first blew up.


At Newcastle, Eugenie is said to be living in a £96-a-week hall of residence, and is in the first year of a three-year course combining English, art history and politics.
Her protection officers are based in a nearby flat rather than a luxury hotel, which is where they normally stay when following the globe-trotting, party loving princess around the world.

Her older sister, Beatrice, 21, also enjoys full-time protection. She is living in a four-bedroom apartment in St James’s Palace while studying history at Goldsmiths, University of London.
The decision to continue to provide Beatrice and Eugenie with 24-hour guards is said to stem from a secret deal agreed between their father, Andrew, and a senior Scotland Yard officer when his former wife Sarah, the Duchess of York, was pregnant with Beatrice in 1988.
During a private meeting, the prince is said to have forcefully requested that Scotland Yard provide lifelong armed protection to his children because he feared they might one day be targeted in a terrorist or violent attack. The unidentified senior officer is said to have agreed.
Eugenie's older sister, Beatrice, enjoys full-time protection, as does their father, Prince Andrew

Insiders claim that Prince Andrew regards his daughters' having Yard bodyguards as being good for their 'status'.

The funding issue is particularly acute because the Met, like other forces, is planning to cut frontline officers.

The tight security round Prince Andrew's daughters is in marked contrast to the protection provided to Princess Anne's daughter Zara.

Though she is a professional horsewoman with a higher profile than her cousins, neither she nor her brother Peter are routinely guarded.

Buckingham Palace and Scotland Yard refuse to comment on security. "
