Our farmhouse

Our farm next to the hotel

Our farmhouse Amaten – “Andermaht” in the eighteenth century, and since the nineteenth century renamed with the current name -, has a long history. It’s been in our family, the Wolfsgruber, for a long time. Almost three generations work with passion here: the owner Eduard, his son and chef Hannes and little Maximilian, busy pushing the pedals of his tractor as hard as he can.

Info & historyOur farmhouse extends over a surface of 10 acres, in addition to further 14 acres of forest.
We raise animals for the production of dairies. Every day our milk is delivered to the dairy company Latte Montagna Alto Adige, which produces the tasty Stelvio cheese.
The forest mainly provides us with fire wood. The roofs of our facilities (hotel and agricultural buildings) have all been built using the wood from our forests.

Farmhouse near the hotel Animals

Animals, stables and Co.Curious about out stables? We will be happy to show them to you: you can have a look and visit our animals. In our stables you will almost always find young calves, who will be happy for you to pet them. Also our two goats will be ready to greet you, just like our dog Maya, obviously part of our team! All animals are raised by us. This means that we do not buy any from outside. After birth, calves are taken to the igloos, where they remain until they are four weeks old, after which they are raised in group. Our cattle lives outside the whole year, much healthier than being indoors all the time.

What work does a stable entail, and how does milking work? Do we really wake up at daybreak? Come and see us completing our daily chores, from dusk this dawn, and enjoy a glass of fresh milk. And for those who want to know more, every Saturday we organise guided tours of our stables, during which we will be happy to answer questions from our guests (special tours can be organised on request).

Vegetable garden and fieldsOur own vegetable garden is directly maintained by our chef and can be visited from the beginning of May to the end of September, from 7.30 to 8.30 a.m. You will find crispy lettuce, chives, cabbages, radish, forest fruit and much more. The fields around the farmhouse are set to grass, cut three or four times a year. We also grow corn, which is harvested in the autumn.

The farmhouse produceThe milk from our cattle is not only taken to the dairy company, but is also offered to our guests for their daily breakfast, in their coffee, tea, or muesli. When available, in the morning it will also be possible to taste our home made bacon. Also in our restaurant you will find our own produce: meat, speck, smoked salami, the typical home-made Fleischkrapflan (little filled dough pockets), and much more. During our country cooking evenings, you will also be able to try our “Melchamuis”, a typical ancient dish prepared with care by the house cook.

Colouring book on Android for kids at the top of its game

Ever wanted to keep your kids quiet on a busy day? What about giving them the colouring book they need? I'm not talking the standard crayon and book type. Today's colouring alternative is done via the digital means and I really mean digital. Get them involved digitally early on!

ANDROID APP COLOROOS IS SAFE FUN FOR THE HOLIDAYS MONTRÉAL, QC, CANADA, DECEMBER 19, 2016: Rise Software, an up and coming software company based in Laval, Québec, has released version 1.0 of the Android-based Coloroos, a beautiful and safe drawing application that everyone will love.

Although the application is lots of fun, what separates it from the pack is that one of the main priorities of Coloroos is safety. There are absolutely no advertisements and the application does not have access to the internet in any way. Coloroos also has parental controls such as “Lock in Drawing” mode and “Notify when a user leaves” mode.

The application has three different canvas colours, the user has the choice between black, white or a random colour. Coloroos provides many drawing tools in a simple interface that any child can use. Its many random modes give young children a great feeling of creativity. The ability to save and share drawings will delight family members and social media.

There are also colouring books that can be downloaded directly from Google Play. These colouring books have a minimum of twenty-five pages and are full of drawings and simple games that every child will love. The application is available for free on Google Play.

A Christmas themed colouring book is also available on Google Play.

The GoneMAD music player has recently (stop me if you've heard this one before) gone mad for material design in its big jump to version 2.0. The app isn't the glossiest or prettiest of the bunch, but it's a fresh upgrade that has spent the better part of a year in development.

The material theme provided out of the box is kind of basic, but the developers have seen fit to throw in over 1,000 themes to choose from. Some are material. Some are holo. Surely you can find something that pleases your aesthetic taste buds.

The changes aren't all surface level. Widgets have been overhauled, indexing should go along faster, and code has been cleaned up across the board.

What's new:

  • Massive UI Overhaul
  • Added 1000+ themes (both material and holo)
  • Widget overhaul with much more customization
  • Multiple select
  • Major code cleanup
  • Fast scroll indexer
  • Much more. See changelog for large list of changes

Those of you reading this who have yet to give GoneMAD a try may find now a good time to do so. Developer GoneMAD Software has placed the paid version on sale for just 99 cents. With a price like that, clearly it has gone mad (okay, something tells me you've heard that one already).

Goodreads URL Discuss and Review The Shadow Master

The Shadow Master is one of the best written books that I have come across in a long time when you look at the narration and writing style that Craig Cormick uses it is just impossible to let this book down for just a few minutes. The whole idea behind the story of The Shadow Master again is something that I haven’t encountered in a long while, yes I read fairy tale adaptations but a retelling of Romeo and Juliet wasn’t something that I had dared to imagine. And lets above all not forget the ever presence of two of histories most adapt inventors: Da Vinci and Galileo. Pretty cool and Craig Cormick really knows how to build the right setting for the occasion. I have high hopes for the sequel.”
The Book Plank

“What I did not expect when I first read the synopsis for this novel was Cormick’s dark sense of humor. This is a story filled with assassins, murders, kidnappings, and both graphic and unsettling visuals. But even in some of the darkest parts of the book I found myself laughing out loud. I guess if I would have to make up a genre for The Shadow Master it would be called acid grimdark.”
Avid Fantasy Reviews

“I recommend you to read The Shadow Master, a story that takes an adventure where love is the key for everything; happiness, justice, revenge, and always does what is better for the everyone. Read of a land lost to diseases and a battle for power where there is more than just two adversaries but much more hidden in the shadows.”
Open Book Society

“I really enjoyed my time spent with The Shadow Master. The dynamic between the two families was interesting and I loved the rivalry – that wasn’t really one – between Leonardo and Galileo. There were also some fun nods to some of their real historic works and inventions. I especially loved the way Cormick incorporated The Vitruvian Man in the story. The idea that magic is as much artifice as it is alchemical was intriguing, especially considering that one doesn’t need to have any nebulous aptitude, but just have a rigorous mind. Additionally, here is magic that isn’t without cost. It’ll be interesting to see if this magic system will be transferred to the next book or if Cormick creates a different one”.
A Fantastical Librarian

Craig Cormick is an award-winning author and science communicator who works for Australia's premier science institution, the Commonwealth Science and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). He is a regular speaker at science communication conferences and has appeared on television, radio, online and in print media. As an author he has published over a dozen works of fiction and non-fiction and over 100 short stories. His awards include an ACT Book of the Year Award and a Queensland Premier's Literary Award. His most recent book is the young adult novel Time Vandals (Scholastic, 2012).

Anguilla Real Estate: The Guide...
Sandy Ground

Welcome to the party beach, Sandy Ground. Down on the beach it's all fun, fun, fun - restaurants, bars and small hotels. But look up and you'll find luxurious Anguilla villas!

Let's see where we are...

Sandy Ground

Have you ever seen the movie, Casablanca? It's kind of like that, except in the Caribbean. With the constant in-and-out of folks from around the world visiting Johnno's, the Pumphouse, and so forth, there is always something going on.

And there's no better place to be than Sandy Ground during the August boat races. It is in this scorching month that Anguilla holds its national boat races. The whole island takes part in rooting them on - and everyone parties on Sandy Ground from sun up to sun down and all through the night!

Anguilla itself is known to be a very low-key, laid back island. Definitely not the place for throbbing night-life.

But, Sandy Ground is "party central"...

Sandy Ground (Road Bay)
Anguilla party on Sandy Ground

On Thursdays after night fall, Sandy Ground really livens up. Stereos get pulled out of vans, reggae music plays, BBQs get fired up, and everyone parties!

You'll meet friendly locals here, the harbor is filled with boats from all around the globe.

All sailors visiting Anguilla come through Sandy Ground! You find yourself shaking hands with people from all walks of life, all corners of the Caribbean... even the world.

The parties really intensify in August.

But nobody can party forever!

Sandy Ground does quiet down to be one of the most tranquil beaches.

Sandy Ground

With its crystal clear and calm waters, just floating and drifting in the warm water with a peaceful atmosphere around, how can you go wrong?

There are many Anguilla villas up in the cliffs surrounding the bay. They range from modest and comfortable, to elaborate and luxurious...

Sandy Ground scenery

Looking north, over Sandy Ground and Road Bay...
caribbean real estate

... you can watch both the pleasure boats come and go, as well as the weekly large container boat (everyone on the island plans their shopping around that boat).

Personally, I'd rather have a nice piece of Anguilla real estate high in the hills on either side of Road Bay.

The hills offer spectacular views...

Looking south, back towards the above photo...
caribbean real estate

Taken from the beach looking north...
caribbean real estate

If you prefer to live "in the action"...

Taken from the Mariners (closed) looking south...
caribbean real estate

... homes at sea level do become available from time to time, as well as just a bit inland (much cheaper).

Nightlife is just a step from your porch, 365 days a year. Every weekend, there are BBQs, right on the beach. But it is hotter if you buy "low-down," with less breeze.

The above photo was taken from the Mariners Resort. My Dad thinks you might be able to work with Jackie Pascher on this interesting (he calls it "distressed") Anguilla real estate opportunity. See where the road forks in the foreground of the photo below?...

Coming into Sandy Ground...
caribbean real estate

Follow the left fork to the (now) closed-down Mariners Resort. It has several charming little West Indian cottages.

This establishment has opened and closed under several owners. Sooner or later, they'll sell to individual owners -- what a nice place for a winter getaway!

High up, or low down, Sandy Ground offers some funky and fun Anguilla real estate.

Watch this video to get a feel for Sandy Ground...

Harvey Maps

SW Forest Bowland

  • Sale
  • Regular price £15.50

Harvey 1:25,000 scale Superwalker map:

SW Forest Bowland

This product contains 1:25,000 scale Harvey Superwalker mapping of the area depicted in the coverage map image.

Confidence - The detail you need for sure navigation. Public footpaths and bridleways. National Grid for accurate reference.

Quality - Clear and detailed mapping from original aerial surveys. Field checked by surveyors who are themselves walkers. As used by Skye, Lochaber, Glen Coe, Kintail, Killin, Ochils & Lake District Mountain Rescue Teams.

Hamish Brown speaking of the Skye Cuillin Superwalker:
“The clearest map I’ve ever seen of the complex Cuillin”

Perfect for: Walking, Climbing, Adventure racing, Orienteering, Off-road cycling

About Harvey Maps

33 years ago, frustrated with general purpose maps, Susan and Robin Harvey created the first Harvey map, specifically for navigating in wilder areas. Wonderful as OS maps are, they are ‘made for everywhere’ multi-purpose maps. Harvey maps are different. They are no-compromise, ‘made for the mountain’ maps.

Often described as the ‘true navigator’s map’, their appeal lies in their supreme clarity, careful use of colour (remember those lovely old Bartholomew ½” maps?) and of course, their accuracy.

The sample mapping image is not geographically from the area that this product covers, but is provided to illustrate the standard of mapping being provided.

21 things you should never buy at garage sales

Bargains are great, but cross these gross, broken, and unsafe items off your list when you head out to garage sales.

21 things you should never buy at garage sales
See Gallery
21 things you should never buy at garage sales

Helmets are designed to protect you from one accident, and one accident only. Sometimes the damage isn’t visible, so buy a new helmet to make sure you’re getting full protection.

On the flip side, if you see any of these things at a garage sale, make sure to snap it up!

Child car seat

Like helmets, car seats are really only meant to protect in one accident. But damaged car seats are common; a survey found that one in ten have been in an accident. Plus, car seat technology improves each year.

If they’ve been in an accident, tires are likely to be unstable and unreliable. Make sure you can get an accurate history.

Wet swimsuits

Personal products that hug your body are technically safe if you wash them in hot water... and still we're cautious. But constant changes in water pressure also wear out swimwear faster than regular clothing, so it's likely a used wetsuit or swimsuit will tear.

Are you the one hosting a garage sale? Make sure to check out these tips for making money at a yard sale.

Bed bugs could lurk in any used mattress. You might also end up sleeping with other people’s mold, mites, bacteria, and bodily fluids (yuck!).

Scores of crib recalls, as well as changing safety standards, make it hard to verify the safety of a used crib.

Don't miss these thrift store shopping secrets for scoring the perfect gem.

Laptops or other devices

Laptops, e-readers, tablets, or mp3 players are more likely to be dropped, knocked around, and spilled on, simply because they’re out in the world. A desktop computer sits (mostly) safe at home, but even that would likely cost more to upgrade than buy new.

It’s hard to determine how well TVs, DVD players, and other electronic devices have been cared for by their previous owners. Plus, technology changes so quickly that you can often get a better quality device. If you're buying refurbished devices directly from a manufacturer, you'll be covered by a warranty—but a random TV at a garage sale could be hit or miss.

Don't miss this story about the strange people that garage sales tend to attract.

Used shoes have been molded to their previous owner’s feet—and poorly fitting shoes will make you miserable, or you'll just never want to wear them.

Sheets and pillowcases

 Sure, you can wash them in hot water, but that might not protect against bed bugs.

Baby bottles

While sanitation and cracks can be an issue, the real culprit is the chemical BPA that's present in most older bottles—and as of June 2012, the FDA no longer accepts that as safe. Go with new bottles to make sure you're getting the safest, most up-to-date bottles.

Worn plates, pots, and other cookware

Rust, flaky non-stick coatings, and chemicals that leach out are just a few of the safety problems you can run into with older cookware. But if you see any of these vintage kitchen items for sale, they might be worth grabbing!

DVDs, CDs and VHS tapes

If you're still using this technology and looking to scoop up a bargain, know that scratches have ruined many a DVD or CD—and VHS tapes lessen in quality the more times they're played, not to mention disintegrate over the years.

Upholstered furniture

 Just like mattresses and sheets, any upholstered furniture can be home to bed bugs, fleas, and spiders, as well as unknown odors and stains. Unless you're going to reupholster the piece, steer clear.

Clothes that require a tailored fit

It might look like it fits—until you put it on. Unless you can try something on, it's often not worth the money you'll spend on alterations. Don't miss these things thrift and consignment shop owners aren't telling you.

Video Games

You might want to quickly google the video game—manufacturers are now including codes for one-user only play, either for the whole game or special bonus sections.

Fragrance or makeup (new or old!)

The quality of both can lessen over the years (and yes, they do expire!). Even if makeup is brand new in the box, skip it unless you can tell that it was recently manufactured.

Stuffed animals

Stuffed animals can be hard to send through the extra-hot cycle on a washing machine, and like mattresses and upholstered furniture, they can be full of creepy crawlies and other unsavory finds.

Of course, if you spot one of these valuable childhood toys, you might want to snap it quickly.

Blenders and other kitchen electronics

Your go-to smoothie maker's blades and mechanisms can become dull and wear down over time, even if the machine looks fine on the surface.

Running shoes

Used running shoes are often devoid of the cushioning that runners need; stick with new shoes for the cushioning and fit that will protect knees, feet, and legs.

How's this for gross: Hats may contain remnants of hair products, sweat, or skin infections.

Here are nine secrets to scoring a great antique deal, according to experts.

What Is A Single Hung Window?

Single Hung Windows Repair and Installation

Call Apex Roofing for Single Hung Windows Repair and Installation Services.

Single hung windows are extremely common, but most homeowners don’t know the name.

Cancers will spend this day romantically and very nobly. Romance will accompany you everywhere (even in the process of fulfilling your professional duty). You will hear from colleagues of the opposite sex a lot of flowery phrases and flattering comments about your appearance. This is not just flattery, but quite justifiable praise. Everyone around will immediately notice that you are transformed and have become better-looking, having gotten rid of excess weight (your bright outfit will show it clearly).

The ANT USB Service enables ANT wireless communication over a supported* ANT USB stick connected to your phone in conjunction with the ANT Radio Service. Among other use cases, ANT wireless technology allows communication with millions of ANT+ devices in existence, including some of the most popular sport, fitness and personal health applications such as a heart rate straps, running foot pods, cycling power meters, weight scales, blood pressure monitors and more.

Note: If you believe your device can support USB OTG, but the Play Store will not allow you to download this application then you can try manually installing the apk from our GitHub:

More information on ANT and ANT+ technology is available on the ANT Radio Service download page: and on our website:

ANT+ enabled applications typically also require downloading the ANT+ Plugins

*Known Limitations:
-Not compatible with "USB1" ANT sticks (sorry, we know a lot of you would like this but the USB1 uses a different USB controller which is not compatible with our newer versions)
-Connection of ANT USB sticks requires your phone to have USB Host support, if the Play Store allows you to install this ANT USB Service on your phone, your phone should support USB Host, and all that is required is a USB OTG cable and an ANT USB Stick. For detailed requirements please visit
-Some devices (eg Motorola XOOM, Gateway TP-A60/Acer Iconia A500) will suspend the USB when the screen turns off, which will kill any ANT connections. This is a hardware limitation and a workaround must be added by individual apps.
-Applications using very old versions of our interfaces may only work with built-in ANT support and not support ANT devices attached via this USB Service. In this case your only option is to encourage the developers of that application to update their app to use a more recent version. (If your application is not detecting the USB stick, please test if one of our sample apps can detect it, for example you can install and test the ANT+ Plugins and the ANT+ Plugin Sampler. If you can connect to the stick with some apps, but not others, it probably indicates that the problem apps are using the very old legacy interfaces.)
From version ANT USB Service 1.4.0:
-Fix permissions conflict on Android 5.0 (error 505)
-Fix some crashes and hangs
-Include more devices as compatible on Play Store (Note: If the Play Store says this app is not compatible with your device it means your device does not report USB OTG support. If you believe your device does in fact have USB OTG support, you can try installing the apk manually from our GitHub repo:

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — An Atlanta-based technology company plans to construct a data center at an old steel-making site in downtown Birmingham.

DC BLOX announced Monday it will use the 27-acre site of a former Trinity Steel plant to locate a facility that could be valued at some $785 million over the next decade.

The initial, 31,000-square-foot Birmingham data center will join the company's sites in Atlanta, Huntsville and Chattanooga, Tennessee, on its private fiber optic network.

About 20 jobs will be created at first. The company's CEO, Jeff Uphues, says the Birmingham center will become its flagship property and could grow to more than 200,000-square-feet (18,500-sq. meters) of data center space.

Birmingham used to be a hub for steel, but its economy is now more dependent on education, health care and technology.

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 13, 2018--The American Legion’s Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation Commission has released a new white-paper report that calls for congressional action “to improve VA’s tedious hiring process and increase VA’s recruitment, retention and relocation budget” in order to properly staff facilities with mental health care providers to address a veteran suicide rate that remains higher than the suicide rate of the general population.

Veteran Suicide: A White Paper Report ” also urges changes in VA procedure when benzodiazepines are prescribed for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

“The American Legion remains deeply concerned by the high suicide rate among servicemembers and veterans and is committed to finding a way to help end this public health crisis,” the report states. “The American Legion established a Suicide Prevention Program in 2017 and… is currently reviewing methods, programs and strategies that can be used to reduce veteran suicide.”

In June, VA’s Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention released a report analyzing suicide data from 2005 to 2015. Among the findings were that the number of veterans who commit suicide daily in the United States remains about 20 and that suicides are increasing fastest among those who do not use VA services.

The American Legion report concurs that VA services are essential to address what the white-paper report defines as a “public health crisis.” But those services must be expanded to include non-prescription treatment for PTSD, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the effects of military sexual trauma, and VA must remove hiring barriers that drive off candidates for jobs in VA and Department of Defense (DoD) mental health.

The report highlights the over-prescription of benzodiazepines, a class of psycho-active drugs that can have an immediate effect on anxiety, insomnia and agitation but has been known since the late 1980s to cause negative side-effects including dependency and suicidal ideation. The report references a study that found 43 percent of servicemembers who attempted suicide between 2008 and 2010 had taken psychotropic drugs.

“The link between certain dangerous prescription medications and veteran suicide should be recognized, and steps should be taken to reduce unnecessary prescriptions,” the Legion white-paper report states.

The report suggests that lack of access or acceptance of alternative treatments “may cause an increase in patient-care program dropouts and a rise in prescription drug use.” The report also commends VA for establishing its integrative health and wellness pilot program, which offers non-prescription therapeutic activities for patients in some areas, and calls for expansion of the program. “Many veterans have reported great success with veteran-centric treatments such as acupuncture, yoga, meditation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, martial arts and other forms of complementary and alternative therapies,” the report states.

MILWAUKEE (AP) _ A man apparently angry about U.S. involvement in Kosovo broke into an Air National Guard base Wednesday, scrawled graffiti and dropped a shopping bag containing two pipebomb-type explosives as security guards ran after him, the FBI said. The bombs did not explode.

The FBI searched for the man.

``We are taking this as a very serious act of international terrorism,'' FBI agent Brian Manganello said.

The FBI said the man spray-painted red graffiti on two buildings and a satellite dish. A view of the 128th Air Refueling Wing base from a TV helicopter showed the words ``Free Kosova'' scrawled on the dish. Kosova is the Albanian name for Kosovo.

During the NATO airstrikes in Yugoslavia in 1999, the 128th Air Refueling Wing sent about 170 members to a base outside London, where they serviced aircraft flying in NATO's air operations in Kosovo.

Judging by the graffiti, ``it was someone who was opposed to the U.S. involvement,'' FBI agent Barry Babler said.

Investigators would not specify what the graffiti said.

Regular personnel were not on the base when security guards spotted the man about 5 a.m. Wednesday. The guards chased him into a field, where he dropped the bag containing two round devices similar to pipebombs, Manganello said.

A bomb squad defused the devices, he said.

The base was closed after the incident, and 150 to 175 personnel were given leave, said Lt. Col. Jim Waters. A sign reading ``actual threat condition'' was posted outside the gate.

David J. Williams, FBI special agent in charge, said his agency was comparing a similar ``incendiary attack'' which occurred at an Army reserve center in Milwaukee on March 17.

``There were also some spray painting things there that would indicate that possibly they could have come from the same author,'' Williams told WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee.

BARI, Italy (AP) — Pope Francis on Saturday denounced the "murderous indifference" that has allowed violence to consume the Middle East and drive tens of thousands of Christians from their homes, calling out global powers for seeking power and profit at the expense of the region's people during a remarkable gathering of Orthodox patriarchs and Catholic leaders.

Francis hosted the daylong ecumenical service in the Adriatic port city of Bari, considered a religious bridge between East and West and home to the relics of St. Nicholas, an important saint in the Orthodox Christian world.

Francis greeted the patriarchs outside the Basilica of St. Nicholas and together they descended to the crypt to pray before the relics and light a flame for peace symbolizing the unity of Christians divided by over 1,000 years of schism.

"We commit ourselves to walking, praying and working together, in the hope that the art of encounter will prevail over strategies of conflict," Francis said at the end of the encounter as children released doves of peace.

For years, the Vatican has voiced concern about the plight of Christians driven from Mideast communities that date to the time of Christ. Just last week, Francis decried intensified attacks in southern Syria that killed scores of people and forced tens of thousands to flee.

The Vatican has also long sought an internationally guaranteed status for Jerusalem that safeguards its sacred character for Jews, Muslims and Christians, and has responded to the U.S. decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital by urging respect for the status quo of the holy city.

Francis denounced the "occupation" of Mideast lands, and renewed his appeal for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

"So many conflicts have been stoked too by forms of fundamentalism and fanaticism that, under the guise of religion, have profaned God's name - which is peace - and persecuted age-old neighbors," he said.

Denouncing the weapons trade that fuels the region's wars, he urged global powers to stop their "thirst for profit that surreptitiously exploits oil and gas fields without regard for our common home, with no scruples about the fact that the energy market now dictates the law of coexistence among peoples!"

The meeting was the first of its kind, gathering most of the Middle East's Orthodox patriarchs with the head of the 1.2-billion strong Catholic Church as well as Lutheran leaders and their Christian representatives in the Holy Land. After the public prayer on Bari's seafront, the black-draped patriarchs and white-cassocked pope met in private inside the basilica and then lunched together, moving around Bari in a bus as if on a school field trip.

In his opening prayer, Francis said the Middle East represented the source of Christianity, where ancient Christian rites and heritage are preserved and where "our very souls are rooted."

And yet, in recent years the region has been "covered by dark clouds of war, violence and destruction, instances of occupation and varieties of fundamentalism, forced migration and neglect," he said.

"All this has taken place amid the complicit silence of many," he lamented. "The Middle East has become a land of people who leave their own lands behind."

In a service punctuated by Arabic chant, Aramaic prayer and Catholic hymn, Francis said the Orthodox and Catholic leaders wanted to give voice to those who have none.

"Indifference kills, and we desire to lift up our voices in opposition to this murderous indifference," he said. "For the Middle East today is weeping, suffering and silent as others trample upon those lands in search of power or riches."

Among the patriarchs on hand was the spiritual leader of the world's Orthodox Christians, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, as well as patriarchs from ancient churches of Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem. Notably absent from the gathering was Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, which has been a strong supporter of Russian President Vladimir Putin's military intervention in Syria.

Kirill sent his deputy, Metropolitan Hilarion.

Francis has continued his predecessors' efforts at reconciling with the Orthodox church, and held a historic meeting with Kirill in 2016 in Cuba, the first between a pope and Russian patriarch in over a millennium. Last year, the Vatican authorized the loan of St. Nicholas' relics to Russia, where more than 1 million people viewed them.

Winfield reported from Rome.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions put in a plug for President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee on Friday as he touted the role of law enforcement in reducing addiction and overdose deaths plaguing Maine and New England.

Sessions said Brett Kavanaugh is the son of a prosecutor who understands the role of judges and respects the role of law enforcement. He added that courts shouldn't been seen "as an opportunity to advance an agenda."

"We're in safer hands in my view when a judge calls balls and strikes and doesn't take sides in games," he said.

Sessions was joined in Portland by Uttam Dhillon, the new acting director of the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the U.S. attorney for Maine, Halsey Frank, as about 200 demonstrators gathered outside.

He noted that approximately 64,000 people nationwide died from drug overdoses in 2016, roughly the population of Portland, Maine's largest city.

Sessions says that the drug crisis is a "top priority" for the Trump administration as powerful fentanyl increases the stakes.

The attorney general discussed Operation Synthetic Opioid Surge, which he announced the day before in Concord, New Hampshire. The program will focus on Maine, New Hampshire and six other states with high rates of opioid deaths.

Addressing Maine, Sessions marveled at how the state is the second-safest in the country when it comes to reported crime rates while overdose deaths are double the national rate.

He said Maine already received another three federal prosecutors, and a fourth is being added under the new program.

Law enforcement can help to reduce drug addiction by disrupting the supply chain and, ultimately, saving lives, he said.

"Together we can break the vicious cycle of drug abuse, addiction and overdose that has devastated countless American families," he said.

Outside, about 200 demonstrators gathered outside of the buildings that house offices of the U.S. attorney and FBI to criticize Trump administration policies including forced separations of families at the Mexican border.

Two women, one from Maine, one from New York, were arrested for criminal trespass when they blocked a garage entrance and refused to leave, police said.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Officials say repairing damages from a recent storm in Alaska's North Slope could end up costing more than $10 million, and a damaged road in the nation's northernmost town could keep whalers from an important subsistence area.

North Slope Borough officials say the late September storm caused severe damage in the town of Utqiagvik (oot-GHAR'-vik) because of wave surges and winds gusting at more than 45 mph. The storm in the community formerly known as Barrow lasted several days and eroded roads and protective berms, and damaged infrastructure and personal property in the town.

About 3,700 feet of a beach road has been destroyed, preventing access to a lagoon area that is used as a backup site to land whales if waves are too intense on the coast.

Avoiding the summer holiday brain drain

Ok, I’m going to jump the gun a little here and fast forward a couple of weeks to suggest that you’ve all recovered from the end-of-term-4 tiredness, school break ups and Christmas/New Year festivities. At this time of the year it can be difficult (unless you’re a VCE student) to even think about study plans over the summer school holidays but let’s talk about why ‘switching off’ completely may be detrimental to your child getting the most out of their learning when school resumes.

What is Summer Learning Loss?
Research suggests that Summer Learning Loss, or the loss and/or decrease in academic knowledge and skills over long school holiday periods can equate to students academically falling behind by up to 4-8 weeks by the time school resumes. The research also indicates that this varies greatly by student and in topic areas with mathematical skills being most affected . This has a cumulative effect on students learning new material after school holidays and is problematic for teachers who spend many weeks having to re-teach material to students. For tutors, it is obvious that the gaps in their students’ knowledge only widens after long school holidays when they have not engaged in reviewing topics or previous learning.

So how do you encourage your child to avoid the summer holiday brain drain?
Let’s be clear for a moment. We are not suggesting that students engage in a rigorous study timetable, in fact that would be counter-productive. What we are encouraging students to do is engage in age/developmentally appropriate learning that supports their academic skills and avoids them ‘switching off’ and lapsing into brain drain that offers no benefits over the holidays or when school resumes. Take a look at this short list of general activities to benefit primary and secondary learners:

Primary learners:

– For very young children, reading at least one book a day as a family.
– Visit your local library and encourage your child to browse for texts that appeal to them or a current topic of interest.
– Read texts that are challenging and discuss them with your child to enhance comprehension and vocabulary skills.

Remember to use analytical question prompts to help develop your child’s skills; Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?

– Think outside the box and incorporate maths and reading into everyday unstructured activities, field trips and holiday activities.

This can be as simple as helping your child read a map when you’re at the zoo to navigating their way through the grocery store looking for particular items on the shopping list:

– Reduce screen time and encourage outdoor fun; nature is a wonderful teacher.
– Structure some maths time with your child in a relaxed atmosphere.

Review times tables, count objects of interest, read the time (analogue and digital) and help your child make a list of what they do at certain times of the day, get the blocks out and talk about geometrical shapes while building with your child, cook with your child or do some water play to incorporate measurement skills.

– What is your child passionate about? Incorporate learning with their passion through books, trips to museums, libraries, zoos, planetarium etc. Keep a journal with your child filled with interesting facts that they can record, draw accompanying pictures and write accounts of their adventures.

Secondary learners:

– Younger secondary students can work on spatial and geometric maths skills such as architecture and engineering through building structures with a variety of materials…get creative!

Have a discussion about the effectiveness of the materials chosen using analytical questions as prompts; Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?

– Get organised for English by reading the set texts before you start the new school year. Think ahead about characters, themes, context and setting.

– Older secondary students can review core maths concepts in preparation for returning to school. You can find a plethora of practice questions online to keep your skills in check.

– Help your secondary student to develop independent learning skills. Encourage them to take initiative of their own learning and make a list of topics they need to work on in each area of study.

– Reading, reading, reading!!! Yes, I can’t stress this one enough. Read often, read widely, think critically about what you’ve read. Whether this is an article in The Australian or a novel of your choosing, think critically about points of view, characters, themes etc. Challenge yourself and don’t just pick your usual familiar genre of text or one that you will easily cruise through.

Remember, it’s easy to avoid summer learning loss while you’re having fun on your summer holidays by including some of the above tips into your break!

Lastly, as the school year has concluded I would like to thank you for tuning into our blog and providing us with your feedback throughout the year! On behalf of everyone at Aptutoring, I would also like to sincerely wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a safe New Year! We thank you for your continued support in 2016 and we look forward to working with your child again in 2017 to assist them in reaching their academic goals!

Fawkner – Saturday 6th June 2015

Divers: Andrew, Nick, Spike, Pete, Ben, Youri & Mark

The fog was rolling in as I drove along the freeway to Portsea, the weather forecast had been looking great all week & a light fog just tops it off. The low viz is still with us although getting better each week. The Fawkner is one of the sites that SOE work on as a project to identify it. Prior to the positive id it was often called the Batman or the Dunloe. Even in the low viz we still enjoyed the dive, there is plenty to see as our torch beams flash from side to side over the tangle metal. The shot line had been drop at the boilers & Andrew & I spend most of our dive investigating here and around the stern area.

Text description provided by the architects. The "Rechter House" in Tel Aviv was originally designed by Zeev Rechter as a single storey home for his family with an orderly arrangement of internally and externally exposed, longitudinal concrete beams which formed the basis for the internal spaces, whilst adhering to the principles of "open planning" that were prevalent in those years. Over the years, an extra floor and a third wing were added to the building in such a way that its original form was hidden and the modern design principles governing its original design were abandoned. As the project's designer, I was asked to cope with a situation where the house had been stripped of its original ideas, disconnected from all of its parts and been used by two, separate families.

The family that purchased this old and neglected building asked me to design them a home that united all of the parts of the dwelling into one, new fully integrated living unit, both in terms of its function and its design style. The main idea behind the project wasn't necessarily to preserve the existing habitat and its configuration, but rather to conserve the spirit of the original design. With this in mind, I redesigned the house's external features and internal spaces.

© Amit Geron

I preserved the horizontal grid and gave it extra intensity when I divided it into two halves through the use of a spacious double space running its entire length. Within the space, I placed a stair case that consolidated all the masses of the structure into one single unit with a huge bookcase along the entire wall that further emphasized the double space. I zealously preserved the original concrete beams and the broad schematic of the building. The design and placement of all internal spaces, functions and rooms was integrated so as not to deviate from the horizontal grid. I also addressed all the external walls of the house. I made new openings that allowed views from both the outside into the home and from the inside out.

© Amit Geron
© Amit Geron

This was done in order to emphasize the length of the lines and the different architectural elements. On the long façade fronting the street, I allowed for a dialogue between the structure and the street by installing vertical, aluminum leaves that move on an axis and allow for a visual connection between the residents of the house and pedestrians in the street, and a blurring of the barrier between the private and the public. The movement of the leaves allows light to enter at differing angles during the day and thus brings life and drama into the highly organized spaces and the restrained architecture.

© Amit Geron
© Amit Geron

The choice of materials (such as the concrete floor and exposed concrete beams, iron stairs and railings that underwent a prolonged process of rusting, the repeated usage of the original silicate blocks and various metals placed at differing intervals) was done with great thought and included materials that are not considered "fashionable" so that they will not overpower the architecture and will help form a bridge between the two era's; the first, the original one storey design and the other the new, present day design. With the new design, I tried to write or present a personal and updated version of a private dwelling in the spirit of the modern era and in an international style.

© Amit Geron
© Amit Geron

The final result of the architectural design and the new interior design is a reserved and cultured private home with human proportions and spaces that together form a strong and clear form, free of unnecessary decorations and designer "chit-chat" with a clean and moderate form and ideas, that reflect the architectural and social principals that are so difficult to find in today's modern world.
