Philippe Coutinho admits Barcelona interest is "cool"

The former Red said on BBC Radio 5 live: "If they were to lose him, who would they bring in to replace him".
Philippe Coutinho admits links with Barcelona are "cool" but has restated his commitment to Liverpool with Champions League football just one game away from being guaranteed for the Reds next season.
Coutinho scored two, and created one as Liverpool comfortably beat West Ham 4-0 on Sunday. Before Liverpool took a big step to finishing in the top four, Coutinho was interviewed by ESPN Brasil on a potential move to Barcelona.
With Juventus and Arsenal joining Liverpool in their interest, Mundo Deportivo say Rafinha is 'considering the possibility of leaving the club in search of minutes that may lead to World Cup Russia 2018'.
"To be honest we didn't expect that we'd win 4-0 and score so many goals, but I would say that even with this pressure we showed our quality today, that we can win against tough-defensively teams", the Croatian man told the club's official website.
With Sturridge fully fit for the first time in what's seemed to be ages, Coutinho was the flawless man to have in the center of midfield behind him to try to feed in balls behind the defence and create space.
'Liverpool is a great club and we have to put Liverpool back in the Champions League'.
"He helps us a lot, is there in the big moments and for me he is a joy to play with".
'I have a contract with Liverpool, there are two games, there are a lot of chances for us to be in the Champions League next year.
The England worldwide has struggled for regular game time this season, but he was also among the goals against West Ham and Origi considers him to be an important part of Jurgen Klopp's plans.

Rothschild Asset Management is relaunching into the retail market with a national ad campaign promoting its new Oeic and multi-manager fund brand, Five Arrows.
The ad drive, which is aimed at presenting a more consumer-friendly image to investors, will unveil Rothschild's monthly income fund and highlight the rebranding of its private portfolio service as the Five Arrows wealth management service.
The main focus will be on the monthly income fund, designed to enhance Rothschild's Oeic range, which will invest in high-yield and investment-grade fixedand variablerate securities. The initial running yield is 8.8 per cent and there is no initial charge but IFAs still get commission of 3 per cent.
Five Arrows is named after the five sons of company founder Mayer Amschel Rothschild. The service includes a new European capital growth strategy in addition to its existing onshore portfolio strategy.
Clients have 24-hour online access to valuations through Rothschild's website www.fivearrows.com. Minimum investment is £10,000.
Chief executive Paul Manduca says: "Despite some good investment performance, the company has over the years underexploited its opportunities in the investment management business.
"While we have been successful in one part of the retail market, which is multi-manager investment funds, our own mutual funds have not been marketed successfully despite the recent improving trend in performance. We want to rectify that and raise our profile with this launch."
Bates Investment Services head of research James Dalby says: "This is the first time that Rothschild has taken its fixedinterest skills to the retail marketplace. It will be very interesting to see how much of an impact it makes but I would give it the thumbs up."-

I often feel a bit of a broken record when it comes to weather talk. Then again it is a British pastime. It's small talk, something to break the ice at a bus stop. Back in 2008 a survey concluded that the top British trait was talking about the forecast even if the weather is pretty, on the whole uneventful although it's constantly changing. It's a love that surpasses curtain twitching, watching soaps and our love of queuing. Sadly American's, maybe even the rest of the world don't share that same appreciation or obsession, call it what you will, so I let it all out on social media.
So for that reason, it would be very un-British of me to not mention the third highest snowfall experienced in Detroit at the beginning of February. It dumped the most snow since 1974. Quite impressive. Across 24 hours we reached the wintry depths of 16" of the white stuff. Drifts of snow marked their way across our street, into our garden. At the time of writing this, there stands a thigh deep drift on our deck, so much so that I can't open on of our back doors due to it's weight.
This all coincided with a couple of inches of snow falling on my British hometown and watching it grind to a halt from afar. Oh England.
I have to admit I was quite in awe, especially as it was the most snow I've ever experienced, in one storm that is. There is something magical about snow when it's so untouched, white and sparking. You catch a glint of a twinkle while you're shoveling and it glistens like glitter. But a week on and it's a mushy brown squishy melting mess.
Nevertheless, Michigan Central Station looked super pretty in the snow if nothing else.

UConn's Kia Nurse, Quinnipiac's Carly Fabbri among academic honorees
UConn senior guard Kia Nurse earned CoSIDA Academic All-District 1 honors for the third straight season.
Nurse, recently honored for attaining a 4.0 grade-point average in one of the two most recently completed semesters, is third on the Huskies in scoring with an average of 14.7 points per game. She is one of three Division I women's players to average at least one made 3-pointer and two free throws per game while shooting at least 50 percent from the field, 45 percent from 3-point range and 80 percent from the foul line.
Nurse, who carries a 3.55 GPA at UConn, earned third-team Academic All-American recognition as a junior. Leigh Curl, Rebecca Lobo, Jen Rizzotti and Maya Moore are the only UConn players to be first-team Academic All-Americans, something that Nurse is eligible for. She is one of seven basketball players from Connecticut universities or colleges to earn All-District honors.
Quinnipiac senior guard Carly Fabbri joined Nurse among the eight players selected to the District I team, which includes all of New England and New York. Fabbri not only has a 3.89 GPA but is ranked seventh among Division I women's players in assist/turnover ratio for the MAAC regular-season champions.
Alexandria Kerr, a junior guard who leads the University of New Haven team in scoring, assists and steals was named to the Division II-District I squad; Western Connecticut State's Jancy Sherwood (19.9 points per game, Division III-leading 106 made 3-pointers, 3.84 GPA) and Wesleyan's Maddie Bledsoe (10.5 points, 10.6 rebounds per game, 3.62 GPA) both made the cut in the Division III-District 2 category. On the men's side, Wesleyan junior guard Jordan Bonner (team-high 15.7 points per game and a 3.58 GPA) was selected to the Division III-District 2 team and Austin Nehls, a junior guard at Central Connecticut State who has a team best 59 3-pointers while posting a 3.94 GPA, was selected to the Division I-District 1 squad.
The Academic All-American teams will be announced from March 12-15.

Intra-District enrollment period open in Downey
January 5, 2018 by Mark
The Intra-District Open Enrollment option, which was once called 'School of Choice', is available now, for the 2018-2019 academic year. Parents of students who live outside the district are not eligible to take advantage of this program.
The Downey Unified School District has a somewhat unusual policy—it allows parents to send their children to a different school to the one in their attendance area, provided the parents live inside the district boundaries.
Applications for the open enrollment program are available at the school district office, or at any one of the 20 schools in the Downey Unified district. They can also be completed and submitted online by going to dusd.net.
Students, including those going to kindergarten, who are coming to a Downey Unified School District facility for the first time have to register at the school in their attendance area, even if they want to choose a different school later. They are welcome to take part in the program, but registering at their attendance school will guarantee that they are registered with the District in time for the start of school.
Applications are handled by lottery, not on a first-come, first-served basis. Lottery winners are placed on a wait list for openings for the next school year.
The intra-district enrollment period runs throughout the entire month of January, ending January 31.
Issues like this are important and complex, so officials could work with a flyer printing company on a detailed mailer for area residents.

Fantastic....we love what you write as well as the way you write it. And keep teaching these important life lessons to your kids. They (the life lessons AND the kids) are great!ReplyDelete
Love, Dad
Great blog! You write so well! I think you should collate this blog and publish a book at the end!...and a second and a third...ReplyDelete
I liked the beginning...ReplyDelete
"They're still kids and their focus should be on school, and their social activities. They shouldn't have to vacuum their own room, learn how to do their laundry or make themselves anything other than a sandwich. And when they come to us asking for money, we pull those hard-earned bills out of our pockets and hand them over."
Yep... I totally agree:)

In the gone Rostov was a minuscule municipality with petite population. But trendy the area of Rostov-on-Don is 380 on a par kilometres and the citizens is more than lone million people. Our borough is a unselfish industrial, methodical and cultural mid-point in the South of Russia. The sow "Rostselmash" is known not contrariwise in our fatherland but abroad as well.

Release: May 5, 2017
Story: The Guardians of the Galaxy (played by Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Baustista, Vin Diesel, and Bradley Cooper) are on the run from a race of gold-skinned, uptight aliens; the Ravagers, led by the blue-skinned Yondu (Michael Rooker); and Gamora's vengeful sister, Nebula (Karen Gillan). They bump into Peter's long lost father, a powerful celestial being known as Ego (Kurt Russel). With Ego is his assistant Mantis, a childlike empath played by Pom Klementieff. Ego wants Peter (the leader of the Guardians, played by Pratt) to join him on the planet he created to help accomplish the immortal Ego's life purpose, but Peter and Gamora (Saldana) are suspicious of Ego's intentions.
Thoughts: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is not as good as its much-loved predecessor. It's just okay. The plot is barely present until the last act, and most of the film feels like a series of events rather than an actual story. There are some great jokes, lines, and sight gags, but director and writer James Gunn often goes overboard with the humor and undermines the drama and the serious stakes. The personalities of our heroes are amped up from their last outing, particularly Rocket and Drax. It's like Gunn, the actors, the studio, or someone said, "Hey, people really liked Drax's laugh and social awkwardness in the first movie. Let's multiply that by ten in the sequel, and the audience will love him even more." Stuff like this doesn't work. This, mixed with the overabundance of humor and the sometimes subpar acting or cheesy dramatic lines, can make it seem like you're watching a Guardians of the Galaxy parody. Some of the drama doesn't work, either, and certain character arcs and relationships aren't given enough time to develop believably or things are needlessly spelled out to the audience.
I know that's a lot of negatives. But, honest to God, I really don't hate this movie. There is still fun to be had. Like I said, there are funny moments. It looks as good as ever, and there are some scenes between the characters that really work.
Mostly, though, Guardians 2 is a hollow, manufactured, paint-by-numbers film doing little you didn't see done better in the first installment, which is all a shame when the first film had so much creativity and heart. The movie is worth seeing. Just don't expect it to be as good as the first. I only hope that Gunn gets back on track for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

SESP students, faculty and staff are invited to this free screening in G21 Annenberg Hall, starting at 3:30 p.m. The panel discussion will begin after the 80-minute film, and snacks and drinks will be provided. Anyone who wants to attend must RSVP at this link.
The Lottery, which was directed by Madeleine Sackler, focuses on four families who enter their children into a school lottery. In the process, it dramatizes the crisis in the education of American children and offers a viewpoint on crucial reforms. Participants in the film include such education leaders as Geoffrey Canada, Cory Booker, Joel Klein, Eva Moskowitz and Dacia Toll. The official web site for the film is at www.thelotteryfilm.com.
According to the film's producers, The Lottery addresses the achievement gap in American education, which may be traced to a lack of opportunity affecting primarily minority students. For example, by fourth grade, students in low-income communities are, on average, already two to three grade levels behind their peers in more affluent communities. And 86 percent of African American students and 89 percent of Latino students in middle school and high school are reading below grade level.
Sackler says, "The four families in The Lottery are unique in the personal journeys that brought them to lottery day, but they all have the same goal for their children: a high-quality education that will provide them with the opportunity for a better future. ... If we continue to be complacent about schools that are failing and if we don't make it possible for excellent schools to expand and flourish, we are not only sentencing the most disadvantaged in our communities to devastating consequences; we are putting the future of the country at risk."
Panel members Spillane and Jackson, who will comment on the education issues raised in the film, are SESP faculty members and experts in education policy. Spillane's work explores the policy implementation process at the state, school district, school and classroom levels. Jackson is an economist who researches the economics of education.

sweet luxy
Budjetti $30-250 USD
Looking for a luxury logo design for a bakery related business. Would prefer to use colors relevant to sweets and chocolates (e.g., caramel, chocolate brown,etc.). Ideally, I would like to have my business name which is "Sweet Luxe" in the logo along with a macaron and a crown on the macaron. Since macarons are associated with luxury sweets, I believe that would be a better choice. Regardless, I am open to other ideas. But would prefer to have a little crown somewhere in the logo and would appreciate having my business name within it. Please avoid the use of any harsh colors, like hot pink, orange, red, etc. Pastel colors are prefers unless (as mentioned above) they are relevant to the topic of chocolates and sweets.

Following the groundbreaking announcement by Gambian president pardoning all political prisoners from 1994, when he came to power through a military coup – to 2013. The diaspora community's reaction has been swift.
According to reports from Banjul, the amnesty was extended to all dissident Gambians and alleged coup plotters in the Diaspora. President Jammeh, who used the 21 years anniversary of his military coup said "even those who spread lies about me and my country" were also included in the amnesty.
Gambia beat has been sampling the reaction of the diaspora community on the social media to Jammeh's extended amnesty.
Capacity to forgive is out of Jammeh's character
Njie Papisco said "the struggle has something to celebrate. "Finally, he (Jammeh) is listening to our revendication[sic]. Our words and actions are finally changing him The struggle continues," he said.
Mai Fatty, leader of the opposition Gambia Moral Congress, also in exile said: "We received the 'amnesty' fanfare with circumspection. The dismal record of Yaya Jammeh on willfully breaking solemn constitutional oaths, religious oaths, political pledges, propensity for half-truths and stupendous deceptive disposition, conditioned us to receive this latest chicanery & manipulation with a pinch of salt."
Mr Fatty said the capacity to forgive is out of Jammeh's character. "With this man, even the saying 'seeing is believing' does not apply. We urge extreme caution. If it holds true which we greatly doubt, certainly, GMC will respond in no less measure. Subsequent events will test this babble on the anvil of sincerity."
Ndey Sarr, a staunch activist said some random expert from somewhere [must have] advised Jammeh to release these people so as to ease tension and anger in the country: "He(Jammeh) did this to save his own demise. Please I know what I am telling you, don't fall for it."
"What we must celebrate is the men and women in the struggle who kept the pressure alive and to international levels….," she said.
The organisation Democratic Union of Gambian Activists, DC Chapter asked if Jammeh was trying to preempt a fate like Hissene Habre.
"Just to let you know Jammeh, even if you turn into a Saint, you have done enough to forever rot in hell. You're the one that needs to be pardoned Jammeh. Ask the families of Deyda Hydara, Chief Manneh, Kanyiba Kanyi,Alhaji Mamut,Ebou Jobe,Amadou Sanneh and all those illegally detained, tortured and killed whether they forgive you."
Badibu Sanyang also said Yaya Jammeh knows what is going on, "Was he not the one complaining some few days ago that villagers are not coming out to see him when he visited them… and to punish them, they will not receive any development help from his government?"
Tukulor Sey said the following people "are innocent and must be released immediately": Meta Njie – mother of Lamin Sanneh, Yusupha Lowe – (14); son of Bai Lowe, Ya Mariam Njie – mother of Alhagi Jaja Nyass, MamHarr Ceesay (employee of GRA arrested for giving an interview to Freedom Radio), Alhagie Mamour Ceesay and Ebou Jobe (Two Gambian Americans still held incommunicado in The Gambia without any access to family or lawyers), Mamboury Njie (former Minister still illegally detained without any charges against him), Sheikh Mohamed Fadel Al Mahfouz and his brother Atabou Sheikh Mahfouz (detained since July 9, 2015 without any explanation or charges brought against them by the Jammeh regime).
Mathew Jallow, a longtime critic of the Jammeh government based in the US sked: "Are you kidding me? Forgive us for what? Speaking out against his killings, robbing the country blind, incarcerating everything that breath, and much, much more….?
"Yahya Jammeh is in a tough spot and he knows it. He is scared and is resorting to cheap propaganda to save his dying regime. My advice to Yahya Jammeh is to immediately resign so that together with the political parties, we will create a government of unity for 18 months, while we prepare for the first free elections in twenty years. This is our common position. It is non-negotiable," he said.
Fatu Camara, a journalist, activist and former press secretary to Jammeh, simply said: "Interesting development indeed, we waiting to see what happen on Friday…"
Kebba Foon, also said, "The only deal we will accept from Yaya Jammeh is to step down."
Momodou B. Krubally said: "21 years later a new trick is. "Why would any Gambian accept a pardon if we still don't know the whereabouts of Chief Manneh? Tell us who killed Deyda Hydra before extending a pardon. Tell us where you buried the Mile II prisoners you killed before extending a pardon."
Mr Krubally said The Gambian don't need a pardon from Jammeh. "We want you gone. We cannot forgive you for the crimes you committed [over] the last 21 years.
Sidi Sanneh, a leading blogger, once a minister in the Jammeh government and executive Director of the AfDB said "While we welcome the prisoner pardons by the Gambian dictator as part of the observance of the 21-year anniversary of the coup, we will never be appeased by what amounts to a calculated move to deflect an opposition force being exerted from the exile communities abroad."
Kejau Touray said [it is a great news for all those detained illegally, some for 5 years without charges, including navy commander Sarr.
"We will still remove him come 2016 elections. Enough is enough. Gambians have suffered too long. Now we have passed the test and nothing will stop them from removing tyranny and illegal abductions and torture.
Bala Musa Ceesay said "We don't need forgiveness from a tyrant. All we want is [for him to] step down ASAP and free all illegally detained."

Treks GradesOur Treks have been graded Easy, Moderate and Strenuous depending on their difficulty. (More difficult treks are possible, but we would tend to categorise them as expeditions). We have listed a definition for each category.
We strongly advise against being too ambitious first time out – most trekkers return to Nepal again and again you can gradually increase your trek grade each time.
Easy:These trips can be enjoyed by anyone who leads a reasonably active life. The walking part of the trip is fairly easy, usually between 5 and 6 hours a day.
Note: Even on a easy grade trek there will be tough uphill sections on some days.
Moderate:You will be walking 5-7 hours a day and will encounter some steep uphill and down hill sections. Some days may be at altitude. You should be fit before considering taking moderate grade trek.
Strenuous:A combination of moderate of strenuous walks, with some very steep uphill and down hill sections, often at altitude. You will generally be walking 6-8 hours a day. You should be fit and should prepare physically before taking a strenuous trek.
Please not that the grading system is not a straight forward measure of how for you are walking.
Rather it is an overall indication ho how tough it will be and it takes into account the number of hours trekking, altitude gain/ loss and trail conditions (rough track, steep uphill etc.) and usual temperatures. So even though a trek is grade easy it does not mean you will never feel tired. Similarly inexperienced trekkers need not necessarily avoid treks graded Strenuous.
FinnessOn any trek, there are some steeps ascents and descents so you require a reasonable level of fitness. The more physically fit you are, the more easily your body will adapt to hiking in the Himalayas. All treks demand a good day's walking and it goes without saying that you should be pretty certain that you will enjoy a walking holidays before you consider trekking in Nepal. However you don't have to be young or super-ft and age in itself is no barrier. There is physical exertion, but it is sustainable. Most people in good health who have prepared physically will have no problem in enjoying themselves. Before making your choice, things to consider are the duration of your trip. Its grading, style of accommodation and maximum and average altitude.
Altitude and AcclimatizationIt is common in the Himalayas to trek above 4,500 and sometimes 5,500m. There is no need to worry unduly about altitude, but above 3,000 air becomes thinner and your performance may be affected. No one understands why some people are affected and others not.
Being young strong and fit is no guarantee of success. The only way to acclimatize is to ascend slowly. Our routes have been carefully designed based a year of experience managing possible altitude related difficulties. On this trek we do not ascend above 5,600.
Be aware that altitude sickness can be fatal, so if your leader advises you to stay at a certain altitude or descend, please do as instructed. He has the experience and is there to ensure your safety. If you do need to descend you will be accompanied by one of our team and a porter and will be well looked after. The descent may be just a short – term measure and does not necessarily mean you will be unable to complete your ascent. There is no shame in being affected or not reaching the highest point on a trek.
In addition we carry a Portable Altitude Chamber (PAC) on all of your trekking trips in Nepal. If you are suffering form altitude sickness and conditions do not allow for an immediate descent your leader will arrange for you to use the PAC. The PAC works by increasing the pressure inside the chamber, using a foot pump. At high altitude, this increased pressure delivers a therapeutically significant amount of extra oxygen which simulates a descent.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you obtain any vaccinations, Precautionary or preventative Medicines for the countries you are visiting – or any which may be required by your home country upon your return.

Some Inoculations require more than one Visit and can take several weeks to Administer.
Carry your Certificate
You should be issued with an International Certificate of Vaccination for each vaccination. Always carry these with you on your travels; they could provide essential information for doctors in the event that you fall ill whilst traveling.
Malaria is common in many parts of Africa, Asia and South America. Protection is in the form of tablets, taken either daily or weekly, or both. The course of tablets should normally begin 1-2 weeks before you depart, Continue throughout your travels and for 4 weeks after your return. Although you can obtain tablets from most pharmacies without prescription,
you must check that they are Appropriate for the area you are Visiting. There are many different Strains of malaria and a large number of them are drug-resistant. It may be Necessary for you to take a Combination of tablets for the region you are visiting.
No malaria tablets guarantee complete protection. The most Effective protection against malaria is to avoid being bitten. Mosquitoes Mostly bite at dusk and dawn so one of the best ways to minimize the Chance of being bitten is to wear long Trousers, long sleeves and socks at these times. You should take a good insect repellent and apply it liberally. Repellents with a high concentration of DEET (at least 35%) are generally considered the most effective.
Sampling the local food and drink is often one of the highlights of traveling. In most cases the food is Freshly prepared for you and is completely safe to eat, however it will probably contain ingredients that you are not familiar with or may be Prepared in a different way. This change in diet is one of the most common causes of travelers diarrhea. You can reduce the likelihood of suffering diarrhea if you treat food and drink with caution – at least in the early stages of your travels. In almost every country it is possible to buy bottled water. This is usually very cheap and a lot more convenient than trying to purify or filter tap water. Beware of ice in drinks and make sure you wash your hands frequenty.
In general we do not recommend the use of anti-diarrhea pills as in most Cases they do not cure the problem, they merely put it on hold. However, there are of course situations where 'Blocking up' may be desirable, for Instance if you are embarking on a long bus ride. Diarrhoea which lasts for longer than 48-72 hours, shows signs of blood or Mucus or which is concurrent with other symptoms, such as a headache or high temperature, should always be taken seriously. Seek medical advice
(your Tour Leader can assist you with this).
DehydrationIn deserts, in the tropics and at high Altitude, your body can lose a lot of water. Dehydration also occurs when you are suffering from diarrhoea. The best way to avoid dehydration is to drink plenty of fluids. In most countries you can obtain "rehydration salts" or "electrolyte Solution". Although these do not taste great, they restore the salts lost by your body. You can also make your own rehydration mixture by adding 4 tablespoons of sugar and ½ teaspoon of salt to one liter of clean water.
Emergency & RescueTrekkers should be aware that there is very little in the way of rescue organization for handling trekker's emergencies in Nepal. If you are trekking with a reputable trekking agency then their staff will be trained to handle most contingencies. if you are traveling independently then you will have to rely on your own initiative to handle any problems. This is why trekking alone is foolhardy in the extreme.
At all times try to be aware of the location of possible sources of help, medical clinics, police or army posts etc. Try to find out where there are working telephones or radios as you pass along the trails.
At all times try to be aware of the location of possible sources of help, medical clinics, police or army posts etc. Try to find out where there are working telephones or radios as you pass along the trails. All trekkers should make sure that they are covered by a suitable travel insurance policy. This, at least, must cover the cost of a helicopter rescue, which is the only practical way of evacuating a seriously ill or injured patient from most of the trekking areas. It is essential to leave details of this policy with a responsible agency in Kathmandu. Either your trekking agency or your embassies are the obvious choices. Registering your details and intended plans with your embassy in Kathmandu is an extremely sensible step to take.
In the event that you do have a problem, and that problem cannot be solved with the resources at hand, then communications facilities must be located. Telephones or radios can be hard to find and may be a day or more away from the incident site. If it is possible to send a reliable person for help make sure that a note is sent detailing the location of the patient, the problem being experienced, specifying what help is needed. List what actions you are going to take in the interim. Fortunately, these days, helicopters are readily available, at a price, from Kathmandu and Pokhara. If a message can be sent then it is likely that a rescue can be mounted reasonably quickly.

The archipelago of the Azores is situated in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The nearest countries are Madeira, Portugal and Nova Scotia, which is however quite a distant from the archipelago.
Carthaginian coins dating back to 300 BC are some of the historical traces found on these islands. According to the stories written and sung by the ancient Greeks, the mythical city of Atlantis was hidden somewhere on these islands whose beauty makes us think of an actual earthly paradise.
Endless beaches of fine white and volcanic sand surrounded by the lush nature and crystal clear water welcome visitors, leaving them breathless each time they reach the coast. Their stay is made even more pleasant by the mild climate that, due to the effect of the Gulf Stream, remains warm but rather windy all year round.
Such great features are sure to promote all the myths related to these beaches. Today, this archipelago, which is of volcanic origin, welcomes thousands of tourists looking for sunny beaches framed by a breathtaking lush countryside.
At this oasis of peace and quiet, visitors can practice sports like hiking, horseback riding, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, paragliding, mountain climbing and much more. For example, the National Park of Geres-paned and Montesinho are ideal for people who like to explore the local natural habitat.
For those who are eager to try something new, we suggest you consider going to one of the many equestrian centres and enjoy the scenery and lush vegetation typical of the archipelago whilst galloping on your chosen horse.
Some of the main cosmopolitan Azorean urban centres are Angra do HeroĂsmo, Horta on Faial Island, Ponte Delgada, Praia da VitĂłria and Ribeira Grande on SĂŁo Miguel, where, due to the remarkable influx of tourists, you will find beaches, facilities, resorts, sports centres, cultural centres and lots of entertainment possibilities.
If you love sailing and surfing, the beaches of Ria Formosa, Carcavelos and Guincho are the three places you just shouldn't miss, as here you will find many people who share your passions and hobbies.
Last but not least, the Azores offers many private and quiet beaches for naturists so they can take their clothes off and sunbathe all day long.

When it comes to sleeping, I don't understand myself. Yesterday I got up early, had a long studyday and was really tired when it was time for bed - but did I manage to fall asleep? No. So there I was at what eventually turned out to be 02.45 still not sleeping - surprise surprise, I overslept today. (well, to be honest I did wake up some time in the early hours, but I heard the rain and I was to tired to function, and then magically *or i turned it off* there were no more noice from my alarm, and all I had to do was to pull the duvet a little closer). Anyways - homeschool for me today!
These are the things I love about homeschool! You can wear whatever you want (hello soft slippers, sweatpants and merino wool sweater!), you have unlimited access to GOOD fresh coffee and you can make whatever you want to eat whenever you want :) :) - but I realise that today has been a poor studyday and tomorrow I have to get to school, better start prepping that lunchbox!
Sleep tight!

Leo Eric Varadkar (English pronunciation: /ˈliːɔʊ vəˈrædkər/; Irish: Leo de Varad pronounced [ lʲo: dʲɛ warad]) is an Irish Fine Gael politician who has served as Taoiseach, Minister for Defence and Leader of Fine Gael since June 2017. He has been a Teachta Dála (TD) since 2007, currently for the Dublin West constituency. He previously served as Minister for Social Protection from 2016 to 2017, Minister for Health from 2014 to 2016 and Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport from 2011 to 2014.
Following the retirement of Enda Kenny, he was elected as Leader of the Fine Gael Party on 2 June 2017. On 14 June, he was nominated as Taoiseach by Dáil Éireann and this nomination was approved by the President of Ireland.
Youngest person to hold the office
During the 2015 same-sex marriage referendum he became the first openly gay Irish government minister and is the first minister of Indian heritage. Upon his election as taoiseach Varadkar, aged 38, became the youngest person to hold the office, as well as the first person from a minority ethnic background to do so. He is also Ireland's first and the world's fourth openly gay head of government in modern times (following Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, Elio Di Rupo and Xavier Bettel).
Varadkar was born in Dublin and studied Medicine at Trinity College, Dublin. He spent several years as a junior doctor before qualifying as a general practitioner in 2010.
In 2004 he was co-opted onto Fingal County Council and served as deputy mayor before his election to Dáil Éireann. He was promoted to the Front Bench by Enda Kenny as Spokesperson on Enterprise, Trade and Employment, remaining in this position until a 2010 reshuffle when he became Spokesperson on Communications, Energy and Natural Resources.
Early life of Leo Varadkar
Born on 18 January 1979 in the Rotunda Hospital in Parnell Square, Dublin, Leo Varadkar is the third child and only son of Ashok Varadkar and Miriam (née Howell). His father was born in Bombay, India, and moved to England in the 1960s to work as a doctor. His mother, born in Dungarvan, met her future husband while working as a nurse in Slough. They lived together in Leicester, where the eldest of their three children, Sophie, was born. The family moved to India, before settling in Dublin in 1973, where their second child, Sonia, was born.
Born to a Hindu father and Catholic mother, Varadkar's parents agreed to raise him in the Catholic faith. Leo Varadkar was educated at the St Francis Xavier National School, Blanchardstown. His secondary-level education took place in Palmerstown at The King's Hospital, which is a fee-paying school operated under the ethos of the Church of Ireland.
During his secondary schooling he joined Fine Gael. He was admitted to Trinity College, Dublin (TCD), where he briefly studied law. He later switched to medicine. At TCD he was active in Young Fine Gael and served as vice-president of the Youth of the European People's Party, the youth wing of the Christian Democrat group.
He was selected for the prestigious Washington Ireland Program, which prepares ambitious young people for future leadership roles. He graduated from the school of medicine in 2003 and spent several years working as a junior doctor in St. James's Hospital and Connolly Hospital before qualifying as a general practitioner in 2010.
Political career
Fingal County Council: 2003–2007
Leo Varadkar was twenty years old and a second-year medical student when he unsuccessfully contested the 1999 local elections in the Mulhuddart area. Leo Varadkar was co-opted to Fingal County Council in 2003 for the Castleknock area as a replacement for Sheila Terry. At the 2004 local elections he received the highest first-preference vote in the country with 4,894 votes and was elected on the first count.
Dáil Éireann: 2007–present
Varadkar was elected to Dáil Éireann at the 2007 general election, and became party spokesperson for Enterprise, Trade and Employment from 2007 to 2010. At the 2011 general election, Leo Varadkar was re-elected to Dáil Éireann with 8,359 first preference votes (a 19.7% share of the poll in a 4-seat constituency).
Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport: 2011–2014
When Fine Gael formed a coalition government with Labour, Varadkar was appointed Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport on 9 March 2011. This was considered a surprise appointment as Varadkar was not renowned as a sports lover. He said that while he knew "a lot of facts…I don't play the sports."
In May 2011, Varadkar suggested Ireland was "very unlikely" to resume borrowing in 2012 and might need a second bailout, causing jitters on international markets about Ireland's credibility. Many of Varadkar's cabinet colleagues were not impressed with Varadkar's forthrightness; nor was the European Central Bank. Taoiseach Enda Kenny repeated the Government line that the State would not require a further EU-IMF bailout and said he had warned all ministers against making negative public remarks about the economy. Varadkar said that reaction to the story was hyped up but that he was not misquoted. Responding to Varadkar's decision to express his opinion in public, Independent News & Media's Evening Herald paper described the minister as gaffe prone, as it had also done previously.
Minister for Health: 2014–2016
In the cabinet reshuffle of July 2014, Varadkar replaced James Reilly as Minister for Health.
He was returned to the Dáil at the February 2016 general election. He retained the health portfolio in an acting capacity until May that year, due to a delay in government formation. In one of his final acts as Minister for Health, Varadkar cut €12 million from the €35 million allocated to that year's budget for mental health care. He was reported as having told the Dáil that the cuts were "necessary as the funding could be better used elsewhere."
Minister for Social Protection: 2016–2017
On 6 May 2016, after government formation talks had concluded, Enda Kenny appointed Varadkar as Minister for Social Protection.
Taoiseach and Leader of Fine Gael
Like Kenny, Varadkar relied upon the support of Independents and the abstention of Fianna Fáil TDs to support his premiership. On 14 June 2017 he was appointed Taoiseach in a 57–50 vote with 47 abstentions. He became Ireland's first openly gay Taoiseach, as well as the youngest and the first of half-Indian descent. It was also the first time one Fine Gael Taoiseach was succeeded by another.
One of Varadkar's first acts as Taoiseach was to announce that a referendum on abortion would be held in 2018. He also said that the government would lay out a road map for how to achieve a low carbon economy.
Personal life
During an interview on RTÉ Radio on 18 January 2015 (his 36th birthday), Varadkar spoke publicly for the first time about being gay: "it's not something that defines me. I'm not a half-Indian politician, or a doctor politician or a gay politician for that matter. It's just part of who I am, it doesn't define me, it is part of my character I suppose". This made him the first openly gay cabinet member in Ireland. Varadkar was a prominent advocate of the same-sex marriage referendum.
His partner, Matthew Barrett, is a doctor at Mater Misericordiae University Hospital.

I'm trying to change the height & width of a layer by dragging up; using an event listener to change the size by the layer's y value works except the value is descending. I need a value that ascends so the layer can grow. Any ideas?
Maybe value*-1 can help you here?
layer.height = -layer.x
both of these result in in a descending value, only negative. I need the value to grow not shrink.

There's a slight chill in the air these days, which affirms my suspicion that fall is here and there's no turning back. It's a beautiful season when we rely on warmth not so much from the sun, but from our sweaters, blankets, warm drinks and slow-cooked food. I'm feeling cozy just thinking about it.
When the summer transitions to fall, I feel less like going out in the evenings. Instead of grabbing a drink after work, I'm usually more interested in making one at home while something hearty simmers on the stove. Feeling that impulse already, I found two fall cocktails that are perfect for a night in: the Maple Manhattan and the Craneberry Daiquiri.
The Maple Manhattan is from Boston Harbor Distillery's website. It's a warm, sweet variation on the classic Manhattan that pairs their Putnam New England Rye with a fall-appropriate maple simple syrup. I thought it would be nice to pair the Manhattan with a tart and fresh cocktail, but I didn't love the idea of serving a rye beverage alongside gin, vodka, tequila—or even another rye cocktail (at least not on a work night). After a little digging, I found a cranberry liquor (called Craneberry) by GrandTen Distilling with a bright pucker when you drink it straight. GrandTen recommends it in a daiquiri recipe with lime juice and simple syrup—a perfect contrast to the sweet and smoky Maple Manhattan.
Whenever I'm having a cocktail, I like to have something to eat nearby. Following the theme of fall flavors, I came up with a recipe for spiced pecans with brown sugar, maple syrup, and a blend of warm spices. By roasting the pecans in the oven, they develop a sweet, salty and spicy candy coating that snaps and crunches when you take a bite. Between their saltiness, fattiness and sweetness, the pecans are a satisfying treat that won't spoil your appetite (unless you're hovering over the snack bowl). If you'd prefer more substantial fare, serve the cocktails and pecans with a plate of sharp cheeses, crispy bacon slices and peppery crackers. It's a welcome combination whether you're having guests or just treating yourself after a long day at work.
When paired together, these cocktails and spiced pecans hit all the right notes of a fall-themed cocktail hour. There's warmth in all three, as well as a fun balance of sweet, smoky, tart, salty and spicy flavors. If you're having guests and would like to enjoy your own party, mix the cocktails in pitchers and stir each individual portion with ice immediately before serving.
Spiced Pecans
1 1/2 cups raw pecan halves
1 1/2 tbsp packed light brown sugar
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 tsp Kosher salt
1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (depending on your preference for spice)
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp garam masala
Special Equipment:
rubber spatula
- Preheat oven to 350° with a rack positioned at the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sugar, maple syrup, butter, salt and spices to the melted butter. Stir to combine until the ingredients develop a uniform syrupy texture.
- Stir in the pecans until they are evenly coated. Remove from the heat.
- Using a rubber spatula, turn the pecans and sugar mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the pecans for about 15 minutes, stirring them around every 3 minutes. The pecans are ready when they are fragrant, browned and coated in a deep caramel.
- Remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool completely without disturbing them.
- Once they are cool, break them into clusters, as they will have hardened. Serve immediately or store in an airtight jar.

They aren't strangers, not anymore. They drop in a lot now, and walk with me until they grow tired. Always have done I suppose.
I can't remember the first break-in, not one exact moment out of the many that have been stolen.
It matters not what they take, but what they leave behind.
They run wild and naked through my mind. Anxious and angry, demanding an instant fix or reassurance to make the bad dream go away.
They become so rowdy, so disruptive, they are just impossible to ignore. They peel my memory to shreds, piece by piece, and begin to rearrange it.
Intruders don't always arrive empty handed.
Some of them arrive bearing gifts of temptation. Rich, rewarding temptation. Those sticky choices that can cling to my thighs and make them shrink.
Exercise has become the biggest temptation since I met my latest weight milestone, because it was promised. The ghost of what should be haunts my recovery.
Ellie promised that when I hit 50kg, I'd be allowed to go running.
The prophecy tries to unfold only by an Anonymous hand. She has gripped it in my mind, firmly rooted in the front above all else. Minutes of inactivity have been made more potent, and opportunities more obvious, mouth-watering. I've got all this energy to use up looking for trouble.
I should be allowed to slip among the other anonymous faces in a sweaty gym scene, I should be allowed to get fit. Get fit: oh the irony. To be fit, I have to put on this weight; whilst I appreciate Anonymous would rather it was muscle, she doesn't quite get the full picture: I will never build muscle without first building more kg out of fat and kcal.
I should be exercising, because now I'm heavy.
I'm heavy all the time now.
I'm heavy now, even, and I should be exercising. It is a thought that is with me, always. Coping with it was easier when it was nothing more than an itch. This side of 50kg, the temptation draws closer. I can taste regret on it's sweaty breath, and just hold mine until the feeling passes. One day, this too will pass. The anxiety will die down and rest awhile.
Is this yet another guest I must host in the name of recovery? Ellie clutches her thickening thighs and despairs: when will she be rid of this fat feeling? When will it be ok to be like this, when I should be exercising because I'm like this?
It would be so easy.
A simple matter of slipping my trainers into a bag, then smuggling it out of the house. I take a water bottle everywhere, that wouldn't arouse much suspicion.
Remembering, of course, to change my online banking passwords and internet search history. Suspicious transactions to "FL LEISURE acc" on a regular basis could never be written off as impulse buys in a retail park. Google cannot retain a secret, least of all the lists of gym opening times; gym location; gym prices; gym gym gym. Not a dance club or a team sport: but a gym. Somewhere I would just slip into anonymity.
I'd be another Anonymous face in a sweaty sea. Brows bobbing up and down on the treadmill, surges up an erg and muscles dilating under the shoulder press. Electrolytes glitter in waterbottles; that smell of feet dancing with the dusty air-con. All I'd have to do was dress her up in leggings and give her a game face. Anorexia can wreck havoc under the noses of leisure centres, and they don't even know it.
Even scrolling down sweaty pages feels. It feeds the wrong part of my brain. Anonymous doesn't need any more energy than she already has.
Anorexia is constantly weaving a web of white lies to hide her smaller indiscretions; this wouldn't be so different.
A small sedative has kept this temptation at arm's length. I know that if I succumbed to this burning desire, truth would hold me hostage by my own guilt.
I hate lying. I hate it, hate it, hate it. Just like Anonymous hates confrontation. And so, if confronted, she'd lie. Just to protect herself.
And I know I could never live with myself if I let her.
Satisfying one thought would impregnate it with more: a litter of paranoia nipping at my heels with every second spent lurking in the dark corner of a gym. The door would swing open and in would walk my parents, my doctors; a friend, a fan – anyone who knows better than Anonymous how crucial it is at this stage of my recovery not to be tempted.
The door would swing open and in would walk a faceless stranger, who's features would contort into that of my parents.
The walls have eyes. Cameras would stare me down as I edge into the room.
Paranoia would scrutinise every inch of my alibi. Guilt flares a harsh light and shows up all the loopholes. A thin layer of lies that would unravel should anyone ask why I'd parked on that side of town, why I'd logged into the gym's internet, why someone who looked just like me had been burning hard earned calories on the treadmill.
Exercise is just another stranger. Another uninvited, unwelcome and unbecoming guest of my hungry imagination.
I know what happens to anorexics who are caught exercising.
They are displaced: signed off as intruders in their own lives. And so that life is confiscated, for they cannot be trusted to deal with it if they insistently elope with their illness. Out of their hands, that life is clinically altered, rebalanced. Out of their control, and their progress no longer theirs to hold up, proud.
Exercise threatens the crop of independence just coming into season. Lures it back into the ground, a slippery slope down an axis. It would be so easy.
Even now, how do you read this as anything but a lie? Why would you trust the word of someone so torn between the temptation, and the truth of the matter?
Perhaps it is that fickle thing called trust. There may still be some inkling of faith left in me to be honest about having these thoughts; these hurtful and damaging thoughts.
If I am brave enough to expose the intrusive thoughts, to ask for help, I will earn trust.
It is hard, only because Anonymous thinks she'll be convicted to a clinic chair for harbouring these thoughts at all. There must be an amnesty, sometime.
Having these thoughts isn't my fault: I'm ill. But Ellie, we must not act on them.
The only thing we must exercise, is caution.

In 1/2 we have been very busy setting up our kitchen garden. We walked to Bunnings to buy herbs for our herb beds in the Asian Garden and we have also planted lots of nutritious vegetables in our gardens outside the 1/2 building. We are now caring for the gardens and waiting for our food to grow.
In the meantime, we have investigating recipes and things we can cook once our food is ready to harvest. We have made smoothies, brownies, stir fry and muffins. Next we are going to make pesto!
Here is our recipe for the super healthy sweet potato brownies we made last week. They are delicious and a fantastic snack for your lunch box. We hope you enjoy them!
Sweet Potato Fudge Brownie s
Nut Free, Vegan, Dairy Free, Gluten Free and lunch box friendly
1kg Sweet Potatoes, 2 medium/large ones
100 grams Chocolate – we used Loving Earth Blue (Creamy Coconut)
½ cup Coconut Oil
4 tablespoon Chia Seeds
½ cup Water
2 tablespoon Raw Cacao Powder
1/3 cup Coconut Flour
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 tablespoon Rice Malt Syrup
- Heat your oven to 180 degrees C. Place whole sweet potatoes on a roasting tray and stab a couple of times with a small knife. Then roast until super tender depending on the size minimum 1 hour, but can take up to 1.5 hours. Make sure you line the tray as they ooze out sugary syrup.
- Once roasted, remove from the oven and allow to cool enough so that you can handle them. Carefully peel and scoop out the flesh and place in a large mixing bowl. Mash the sweet potato until smooth.
- In a separate small bowl or jug, mix the water and chia seeds together. Set aside for around 15 minutes for the chia seeds to soak up all the water.
- On the stove or in the microwave, melt the coconut oil and chocolate together and stir until well combined.
- To the bowl of sweet potato mash, add the melted chocolate, the chia seed mix, vanilla extract and rice syrup and give a good stir. Finally add the cacao and coconut flour and mix together. If you have a blender or food processor, you could simply scoop out the sweet potato flesh and add all ingredients and process until smooth.
- Spread the mix into a lined 24cm x 24cm baking dish and bake for 50-55 minutes at 180 degrees C.
- Allow the brownies to cool to room temperature and then chill in the fridge before serving, ideally overnight (or if you are like us and can't wait for them to cool down you can eat them warm). We topped ours with fresh strawberries as well.
