This explains the simultaneous drying up of liquidity on the interbank markets in Europe and the United States in summer 2007 and is consistent with a degree of transatlantic financial integration far more intense than between any other pair of regions (Cohen-Setton and Pisani-Ferry, 2008).

Whereas most historians have portrayed the antislavery abolitionist movement as male-led in both its intellectual

There are a limited number of kennel slots, and getting your dog’s documents approved takes months of advance planning. All in all, canine cruising is only for those who have lots of time and money.

Not the Italian merchant and cartographer Amerigo Vespucci, but Richard Ameryk, a Welshman and wealthy Bristol merchant. Ameryk was the chief investor in the second transatlantic voyage of John Cabot—the English name of the Italian navigator Giovanni Caboto, whose voyages in 1497 and 1498 laid the groundwork for the later British claim to Canada. He moved to London from Genoa in 1484 and was authorized by King Henry VII

So that’s where they placed their commercial, smartly labeling it “Free Movie.” When
