One day Cruise! Discover Porto Santo Island and enjoy an unforgettable cruise!

Porto Santo is the smallest inhabited island of the Madeira Archipelago. It lies in the Atlantic Ocean, at the South-western tip of Europe, about 500 km from the coast of Africa , 1000 km from Continental Europe and 79km from the island of Madeira.

The flight from Lisbon to Porto Santo is approximately 1hr 30 minutes.

First discovered in 1418, by Portuguese sailors, this archipelago is formed by the islands of Madeira and Porto Santo as well as the uninhabited Selvagens and Desertas Islands. The friendliness and hospitality of its locals, the mild climate all year around, the spectacular unspoilt landscapes and the richness and variety of the natural, historical and cultural resources are just some of the reasons why you should discover this paradise yourself.

A golden isle, washed by turquoise sea and where peace and quiet reign supreme, is all you need for a truly relaxing holiday. This Atlantic island boasts 9 km fine golden sands ideal for sunbathing and swimming.

Health and wellness go hand in hand on this magnificent beach thanks to its crystalline water and golden sand, which have unique therapeutic properties. The sand is soft, fine and smooth and consists mainly of calcium carbonate in the form of calcite, which has special thermal qualities.

The primitive beauty of the landscape enchants anyone walking the paths or cycling the island’s trails.

The safety, along with the warm welcome of its locals, the pleasures that nature has to offer, the beautiful beaches of fine sand, and the calm sea currents, turn Porto Santo island into a privileged destination.

MIM December-January 2018

The Port of All Ports When we think of cruises, most of us consider the luxury ships themselves as the attraction — not the ports they visit. Jean-Paul Rodrigue, a transport scholar at Hofstra University, says that's an oversight. He's studied cruise itineraries from all over the world and found that companies pay a great deal of attention to port selection as a means of distinguishing themselves.

Every year Madeira receives thousands of visitors from around the world, drawn by the Island’s exceptional scenery, climate and the many astounding events all year round. Madeira Island is without a doubt one of the best popular tourist destinations and certainly a popular port attraction for cruise liners around the globe.

Besides the existing pier in Funchal, the new liners pier terminal was an exciting addition to Funchal’s city centre, expanding its capacities to berth more and larger, luxury cruise liners, as well as private yachts. The modernization project also included an extension to the existing Yacht marina, a new promenade (Praça do Povo) and gardens.

The latest ships to visit Madeira for the very first time include the Norwegian Star (Nov.10th), the AIDAprima (Nov.13th), and the Veendam (Nov.29th).

Norwegian Star

AIDAprima

Norwegian Star is a Dawn-class cruise ship operated by Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL). Ordered by and intended for Star Cruises, Norwegian Star is a Panamax cruise ship; its 294-meter-length (965 ft) and 32.2-meter-beam (105.6 ft) nears the limit for ships transiting the Panama Canal.

Norwegian Star was built by the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. Construction began on Norwegian Star in 2000 and was completed in mid-2001, with the ship put into service later that year. Originally circumnavigating the Hawaiian Islands since its introduction, Norwegian Star was moved to the Pacific Coast of North America in 2004.

Norwegian Star's gross tonnage (GT) is 91,740. She is 294 meters (965 ft) long, with a beam of 32.2 meters (105.6 ft) and a draft of 8.2 meters (27 ft).

Norwegian Star is a Panamax ship and was designed at the maximum size that can be accommodated by the locks of the Panama Canal. Four 14,700-kilowatt (19,700 hp) MAN B&W diesel generating sets power the ship, which can run on either diesel fuel or heavy fuel oil. Propulsion is provided by two 19,500-kilowatt (26,100 hp) Azipods built by the ABB Group, and a set of three 2,390-kilowatt (3,210 hp) bow thrusters.

Norwegian Star is equipped with a pair of stabilizers with an area of 8 square meters (86 sq ft) each.

Norwegian Star has a maximum capacity (assuming double occupancy) of 2,348 passengers. Of Norwegian Star's 1,176 cabins, 70 percent have views of the ocean. Unusual, for a cruise ship, are its twin 220-square-meter (2,370 sq ft), three-bedroom, suites situated atop the ship complete with private garden and sundeck. When built, Norwegian Star was also one of the few cruise ships built without a casino, something that was prohibited by Hawaiian law; a 900-square-meter (10,000 sq ft) casino was added in 2005 when it was repositioned. Because the ship was ordered

by Star Cruises and to be based out of Singapore, the decor and layout of Norwegian Star was meant to appeal to Asian and Australian passenger rather than Americans where it was ultimately based. The Norwegian Star has a total of 10 different restaurants on board, which emphasizes NCL's "Freestyle Cruising" concept, allowing passengers to dine where and when they choose.

AIDAprima is the flagship of AIDA Cruises, built by Mitsubishi Shipbuilding at their shipyard in Nagasaki, Japan. The cruise ship entered service on April 25, 2016, after suffering several construction delays.

Originally, the vessel was planned for delivery in the first half of 2015, with an inaugural trip to 22 countries, but the shipbuilder was unable to complete the vessel on time and the delivery was postponed to December 2015.

The ship was christened on 7 May 2016 in Hamburg, Germany as part of the 827th Hamburg Port Anniversary (Hafengeburtstag). AIDAprima is the largest cruise ship in AIDA cruises fleet, with an overall length of 300.00 m (984.25 ft), moulded beam of 37.60 m (123.4 ft), and maximum draft of 8.00

m (26.25 ft). The vessel has a capacity of 3,300 passengers and 900 crew members. AIDAprima has 18 passenger decks, 15 dining options, indoor and outdoor pools, as well as shops, cafés, and bars. The AIDA Beach Club pool area, which is covered by a transparent UV-permeable membrane dome, allows passengers to relax in a beach setting with natural light despite inclement weather. The Beach Club features the longest indoor water slideon a cruise ship, a rock climbing wall, and a lazy river. At night, the Beach Club serves as a discotheque, with stars or laser shows projected onto the dome.

AIDAprima is driven by three MaK 12V M43C diesel engines and one MaK M46DF dual-fuel (LNG/oil) engine, which give 53,150 hp to the propulsion system. The engine has computer-controlled fuel injection to increase fuel economy. The ship is propelled by ABB Azipod XO units, which allows a service speed of 22 kts.

The AIDAprima uses Mitsubishi Heavy Industries's proprietary Mitsubishi Air Lubrication System (MALS), which releases small air bubbles to cover the bottom of the vessel, reducing the friction between the hull and the surrounding water. This is predicted to reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption by more than 7%.

Aida Prima

MS Veendam is one of Holland America Line's cruise ships and is named for the capital of Northern Netherlands's peat colonies.

Features on the vessel include the two-tiered Rotterdam Dining Room, suites with private verandas, multiple lounges, and a wide teak deck.

During April 2009, Veendam underwent a refit in Freeport. During the extensive refit, two decks of balcony cabins were added to the rear of the ship, and the rear pool area was restyled with 4 hot tubs set onto a raised platform. Due to the change in weight, a new duck-tail stern was fitted to the ship to provide stability.

The refit also included the introduction of some new Lanai cabins on the Promenade deck. The cabins have mirrored glass doors which open onto Promenade deck.

Today Veendam sails around South America during the winter based out of Buenos Aires, Argentina; Valparaiso, Chile & Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and during the summer is based in New York City, New York sailing to Bermuda as well as Atlantic Canada & New England.

Veendam currently sails out of Boston Harbor alternating with her twin, Maasdam.

a t e h l a c a d l caminho rea The roads, or royal roads, were built by the Portuguese crown from the second half of the 19th century onwards, as a way to improve the Madeiran road network. The initiative came about by the governors and military authorities as an alternative to maritime connections. These 'royal roads' are reminiscent of Madeira’s history and exemplify how difficult it was of building an island from scratch.

A small section of the Caminho Real, between the parish of Arco da Calheta (Sítio das Florenças) and the parish of Calheta (Lombo Atouguia), which amounts to approximately 500 meters, has recently been recovered. It is a completely stoned route with easy access which allows one to appreciate the surrounding agricultural land and the beauty of the landscape.

As estradas ou caminhos reais foram construídas pela coroa portuguesa a partir da segunda metade do Séc. XIX, como forma de melhorar a rede viária madeirense no transporte de pessoas e mercadorias, então muito dependente da cabotagem. A maior parte surgiu por iniciativa dos governadores ou dos capitães-generais, funcionando como alternativa e complemento às ligações marítimas. Estas 'estradas reais' fazem parte da nossa memória coletiva da Madeira e, acima de tudo, porque são exemplo da grande dificuldade que foi construir uma ilha do nada.

Um pequeno troço do Caminho Real, entre a freguesia do Arco da Calheta (Sítio das Florenças) e a freguesia da Calheta (Lombo Atouguia), com aproximadamente 500 mts foi recentemente recuperado. É um percurso totalmente em pedra de fácil acesso e que permite apreciar os terrenos agrícolas circundantes e a beleza da paisagem.

Monte Palace Museum

berardo museum

The Lake

From 1904 to 1943, at the time when the Palace was being used as a Hotel, its clientele was able to enjoy pleasant boat trips on the central lake. There was water shooting out of spouts and jets in which water games could be played. Sometimes, couples that were hoping to take refuge from prying eyes, taking their leisurely trip around the “fortress” would get sprayed.

These are still features on the lake today and can be enjoyed by our present visitors. Water is fed into the lake by a large waterfall designed by José Berardo and it is bordered at the rear by an aqueduct that also used to provide water.

It is now home to the swans and ducks but visitors may sit and share the peaceful tranquillity of these surroundings with them.

Monte Palace Tropical Garden Situated in the amphitheatre of Funchal about 5 kilometres from the centre of town you will find one of the most beautiful gardens of Madeira Island, the Monte Palace Tropical Garden. This garden, belonging to the Berardo Foundation, invites you to an unforgettable journey through Monte nature.

Palace Museum In 1989 this property was donaTimetable: 10:00 -16:30 ted, by its owner José M. R. daily within the Berardo, to a Monte Palace charitable instituTropical Garden tion created by him, the Jose Berardo Foundation. The Foundation’s aims are mainly charitable but it also dedicates a great and special concern to the safe-keeping and preservation of works of art as well as to the defence and preservation of the environment, with the Monte Palace Tropical Garden constituting undoubtedly the privileged location for realising these objectives. www.berardocollection.com

O Lago De 1904 a 1943, quando o Palácio funcionou como Hotel, a lagoa central proporcionava passeios de barco à sua clientela. A existência de canhões e jactos de água permitia fazer certos jogos, algumas vezes molhando os casais que procuravam um refúgio fora dos olhos dos curiosos, dando um passeio em redor da “fortaleza”. Tudo isto ainda existe e pode ser visto pelos visitantes. A lagoa é alimentada por uma cascata artificial desenhada por José Berardo sendo rodeada nas traseiras por um aqueduto que a fornece.

Esta lagoa é, agora, o lar de cisnes e patos mas os visitantes podem sentar-se com eles e partilhar uns momentos de tranquilidade nesses recantos.

This peaceful location can be visited daily from 9:30a.m. to 6p.m. The best access to this Garden from the centre of Funchal is to take the cable car up to Monte and go through the entrance at Caminho das Babosas #4A. The other entrance is at Caminho do Monte #174.

Madeira is known for its micro climates. This means that it can be raining in one place, and be sunny in another.

The best of all is that there is no need of getting wet. You’ll be inside a Panda 4 x 4 warm and dry!

We can spend a part of the day or even the full day driving and having a real good time.

We use classics Fiat Panda 4 x 4.

There have been many times in which, during our full-day tour Soul & Essence, it was raining in Funchal and by the time we reached Pico do Areeiro, we were above the clouds and could easily sense the sun warming up our souls.

What a remarkable feeling. Showers in the

morning, sun in the afternoon.

Secret number three: We stop

at local bars where you can try an authentic traditional alcoholic beverage called Poncha.

Secret number four: In full-day's lunch a typical Espetada, or meat-on-a-skewer, is included.

A Madeira é conhecida por seus micro climas. Isso significa que pode chover num lugar, e estar sol noutro.

Muitas vezes na nossa excursão de dia inteiro Soul & Essence está chovendo no Funchal e quando chegamos ao Pico do Areeiro, encontramo-nos acima das nuvens e podemos sentir o sol aquecendo nossos corpos. Que sensação, não é? Chuva de manhã, sol à tarde.

Eurasian Woodcock In the higher areas of Laurisilva forest, where large trees begin to give way to moors, the Eurasian woodcock (Scolopax rusticola) also appears. This bird is very discreet and often goes unnoticed by visitors.

Description The Eurasian woodcock is a medium-small wading bird found in temperate and subarctic Eurasia. It has cryptic camouflage to suit its woodland habitat, with reddish-brown upperparts and buff-coloured underparts. Its eyes are set far back on its head to give it 360-degree vision and it probes in the ground for food with its long, sensitive bill, making it vulnerable to cold weather when the ground remains frozen.

The male performs a courtship flight known as 'roding' at dusk in spring. When threatened, the female can carry chicks between her legs, in her claws or on her back while flying, though this is rarely witnessed. The world population is estimated to be 14 million to 16 million birds.

Shape & Size The Eurasian woodcock has cryptic camouflage to suit its woodland habitat, with intricately patterned reddish-brown upperparts and buff underparts. The head is barred with black, not striped like that of its close relatives, the snipe. It has large eyes located high on the sides of its head, giving it 360-degree monocular vision.

The wings are rounded and the base of the bill is flesh-coloured with a dark tip. The legs vary from grey to pinkish. The species is sexually dimorphic, with the male much larger than the female, although the sexes cannot be separated in the field.

Conservation The most important threat to the population of the Eurasian woodcock in the breeding range is the increased fragmentation of its woodland habitat. At other times of year, a reduction in the amount of permanent grassland and an increase in the intensification of farming are also threats, and the species' susceptibility to avian influenza may have an impact in future.

Habitat The Eurasian woodcock's required breeding habitat is large, unfragmented areas of broadleaved deciduous or mixed broadleaved and coniferous forest, with dense undergrowth of plants such as brambles, holly, hazel, gorse,

Male Info Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Charadriiformes Family: Scolopacidae Genus: Scolopax Species: Scolopax rusticola

Behavior An extremely difficult bird to see due to its camouflaged colour and crepuscular habits. Rarely seen on the ground, if disturbed it flies off quite low with loud wing noise. Its flight is quite quick and straight, dashing away in zigzags.

bracken or bilberry. Breeding territories must include a mix of dry, warm resting places, damp areas for feeding, and clearings for flight.

In larger woods, wide 'rides' (open tracks through the wood) and small clearings are important. In winter, Eurasian woodcock also use scrubland during the day but in freezing weather they may use intertidal mud.

Eurasian woodcock forage in soft soil in thickets, usually well hidden from sight. They mainly eat earthworms, but also insects and their larvae, freshwater molluscs and some plant seeds.

In William Shakespeare's play Love's Labours Lost, Berowne describes himself and his friends as 'four woodcocks in a dish', after discovering they have all fallen in love when they have sworn not to.

Galinhola Apelidada de «Dama dos bosques», a galinhola é uma ave misteriosa e, embora relativamente comum, muito difícil de observar, se não for especificamente procurada.

Descrição É uma ave limícola que apresenta uma envergadura muito proxima da perdiz. A sua plumagem, em tons castanhos-arruivados, servelhe de camuflagem. Possui um bico forte e comprido e uma cauda curta, sendo as suas asas compridas e arredondadas.

Distribuição Mundial Distribui-se por toda a Europa Ocidental, Cáucaso, China, Norte da Índia até ao Japão.

Em Portugal ocorre no território continental e nos arquipélagos da Madeira e dos Açores.

Na Macaronésia ocorre em todos os arquipélagos, excepto em Cabo Verde.

Distribuição Regional Esta ave ocorre exclusivamente na Ilha da Madeira. Apésar da nidificação não estar confirmada para o Porto Santo, uma ave foi caçada em 1997 e outra em 1998.

Habitat

É uma ave típica de zonas com vegetação arbustiva densa e bem desenvolvida.

Dieta Realiza a prospecção do solo com o seu bico (que funciona como uma pinça) em busca de insectos, larvas e algumas sementes.

Igualmente alimenta-se de matéria vegetal.

Efetivo Populacional A sua população está estimada entre os 250 e os 2500 individuos.

Factores de Ameaça Historicamente a perda de habitat poderá ter sido um factor limitante para esta espécie.

Hoje em dia os problemas mais graves surgem em virtude da galinhola ser uma espécie cinegética e pelo facto de nidificar no solo o que poderá ser um factor limitante, devido à predação por ratos.

flora It is found in the Azores, Madeira, and Canary Islands in Macaronesia. It is threatened by habitat loss. It is the vegetable symbol of the island of La Gomera.

Description The Vinhatico, or Persea indica, is a species of plant in the Lauraceae family. It belongs to the evergreen tree genus Persea of about 150 species, of which the avocado, P. americana, is the best known.

The Family Lauraceae was part of Gondwanaland flora. There they spread over most of the continent. The genus Persea died out in increasingly xerophytic Africa, starting with the freezing of Antarctica Info about 20 million years ago and the formation of the Kingdom: Benguela current.

Vinhatico (Persea indica) Persea indica, espécie conhecida pelos nomes vulgares de vinhático, vinhático-dasilhas, vinhôto ou loureiro-real, é uma árvore do género Persea da família Lauraceae, endémica da Macaronésia, estando presente na Madeira, Açores e Canárias.

Características O vinhático é uma árvore perenifólia com até 25 metros de altura (mesofanerófito), de copa ampla e arredondada, folhas lanceoladas, de 10-20 centímetros de comprimento, quase glabras, verde-claras, tornando-se avermelhadas ao envelhecer, com pecíolos geralmente avermelhados.

As flores são pequenas, esbranquiçadas, dispostas em panículas com pedúnculos longos e pubescentes. Os frutos são bagas ovóide-elipsóides, negros, facilmente confundíveis com azeitonas. A floração ocorre de Agosto a Novembro.

A espécie é endémica das ilhas da Macaronésia, ocorrendo na Madeira, Açores e Canárias. A espécie é característica da "floresta laurissilva do vinhático" (Madeira) e ocorre também na denominada "floresta laurissilva do til" (Madeira e Canárias).

Ao longo dos tempos a madeira de vinhático, de cor amarelada ou rosada, foi muito valorizada. Conhecida como mogno da Madeira, foi muito utilizada em marcenaria e caixotaria.

A Laurissilva do Vinhático, cientificamente denominada por Diplazio caudati-Perseetum indici é uma comunidade florestal dominada pela Persea indica (vinhático). Esta floresta, característica das margens dos cursos de água permanentes, tem uma distribuição potencial entre os 700 m e 1500 na vertente sul e 300 e 1300 na vertente norte da ilha da Madeira.

Name: Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell Born: 22 February 1857 Paddington, London, England Died: 8 January 1941 (aged 83) Nyeri, British Kenya Spouse: Charlene Wittstock Occupation: Lieutenant General of the British Army Notable Work: Founder of the international Scouting Movement; writer; artist

After having been educated at Charterhouse School in Surrey, BadenPowell served in the British Army from 1876 until 1910 in India and Africa. In 1899, during the Second Boer War in South Africa, Baden-Powell successfully defended the town in the Siege of Mafeking. Several of his military books, written for military reconnaissance and scout training in his African years, were also read by boys. In 1907, he held a demonstration camp, the Brownsea Island Scout camp, which is now seen as the beginning of Scouting. Based on his earlier books, he wrote Scouting for Boys, published in 1908 by Sir Arthur Pearson, for boy readership. In 1910 Baden-Powell retired from the army and formed The Boy Scouts Association.

The first Scout Rally was held at The Crystal Palace in 1909, at which appeared a number of girls dressed in Scout uniform, who told BadenPowell that they were the "Girl Scouts", following which, in 1910, BadenPowell and his sister Agnes Baden-Powell formed the Girl Guides from which the Girl Guides Movement grew. In 1912 he married Olave St Clair Soames. He gave guidance to the Scouting and Girl Guiding Movements until retiring in 1937.

Baden-Powell made paintings and drawings almost every day of his life. Most have a humorous or informative character. He published books and other texts during his years of military service both to finance his

S ld r o

life and to educate his men.

Baden-Powell was regarded as an excellent storyteller. During his whole life he told "ripping yarns" to audiences. After having published Scouting for Boys, Baden-Powell kept on writing more handbooks and educative materials for all Scouts, as well as directives for Scout Leaders. In his later years, he also wrote about the Scout movement and his ideas for its future. He spent most of the last two years of his life in Africa, and many of his later books had African themes.

Currently, many pages of his field diary, complete with drawings, are on display at the National Scouting Museum in Irving, Texas.

Baden-Powell was keen on amateur theatricals, from Charterhouse public school where among other roles he played female operatic roles.

In the army he made a speciality of female roles and would often make his own dresses.

His stage specialty was what he called his skirt dance.

Baden-Powell lived his last years in Nyeri, Kenya, where he died and was buried on January 8, 1941. He is buried at St. Peter's Cemetery in Nyeri.His gravestone bears a circle with a dot in the centre, which is the trail sign for "Going home", or "I have gone home". His wife Olave moved back to England in 1942, although when she died (in 1977), her ashes were sent to Kenya and interred beside her husband. The Kenyan government has declared BadenPowell's grave a national monument.

Robert Baden-Powell O fundador do Escutismo Biografia Em 22 de Fevereiro de 1857 nasceu em Londres, Robert Stephenson Smith Baden-Powell, que mais tarde seria famoso como fundador do Escutismo.

Baden-Powell fez os seus estudos em escolas públicas, onde era muito popular e querido por todos, colegas e professores. Nas férias, aproveitava para acampar com seus irmãos mais velhos. Quando terminou os estudos secundários, BadenPowell ingressou no exército.

Como oficial, viajou muito, conhecendo grande parte do mundo. Durante as suas viagens conheceu tribos de guerreiros da África, os vaqueiros americanos e conviveu com os índios da América e do Canadá. Graças à sua competência, honestidade e exemplo como líder de homens, Baden-Powell, fez uma carreira militar brilhante.

Graças aos seus feitos na vida militar, Baden-Powell tornou-se um herói no seu país. Durante uma viagem a Inglaterra, Baden-Powell viu alguns rapazes criarem brincadeiras através de um livro, que ele havia escrito para batedores do exército e que continha explicações sobre como acampar e sobreviver em regiões selvagens. Então, conversando com os amigos, ele entusiasmou-se e resolveu realizar, em 1907, na ilha de Brownsea, um acampamento com vinte rapazes dos 12 aos 16 anos, onde transmitiu conhecimentos técnicos tais como: primeiros socorros, observação, técnicas de segurança para a vida na cidade e na floresta, etc.

Devido aos bons resultados deste acampamento, Baden-Powell começou a escrever o livro "Escutismo para Rapazes" que, inicialmente, foi publicado em fascículos e vendido nas bancas de jornais, durante o ano de 1908. Os jovens ingleses entusiasmaram-se tanto com o livro que Baden-Powell organizou e fundou o Movimento Escutista.

Rapidamente o Escutismo alastrou-se por vários países do mundo. Em Portugal o Escutismo deu os primeiros passos ainda no território de Macau em 1911, tendo os seus impulsionadores regressado ao nosso país e fundado, em 1913, a Associação dos Escoteiros de Portugal. O Corpo Nacional de Escutas, Escutismo Católico Português, veio a ser fundado 10 anos mais tarde, em 27 de Maio de 1923, na cidade de Braga.

O Escutismo, nascido na Inglaterra, não respeitou fronteiras, alastrando-se por outros países, e, já em 1920, em Londres, reuniram-se num grande acampamento Escuteiros de várias nacionalidades. Foi neste primeiro acampamento mundial, denominado Jamboree, que 20 mil jovens aclamaram Baden-Powell como Chefe Mundial.

Depois de vários anos de dedicação ao Escutismo, viajando pelo mundo e fundando Associações Escutistas em vários países, Baden-Powell sentiu as suas forças escassearem. Retirou-se então para uma propriedade que possuía próximo da cidade de Nairobi, no Quénia. Ali, na companhia da esposa, dividiu o tempo entre pintura, a numerosa correspondência e as visitas de amigos.

Faleceu na madrugada de 8 de Janeiro de 1941 enquanto dormia, deixando para todos os Escuteiros do mundo um enorme exemplo humano.

Christmas Wonderisland The arrival of the decorative lights in the streets of the city centre of Funchal, during the month of December, sets the beginning of the Madeira Christmas and the end of the Year Festivities programme, taking place between December 1st, 2017 to January 7th, 2018.

These festivities culminate with the famous fireworks show, officially recognised in 2006 by the Guinness Book of Records, as the largest fireworks show in the world.

These commemorations consist of a rich and extensive programme of cultural, religious, ethnographic and artistic manifestations that take place throughout the entire month of December, an event that culminates on January 8th.

Christmas begins with the "Missas do Parto" ((Masses of the Expected

Birth)) starting December 16th and ending on Christmas Eve, with the midnight mass.

The "Missas do Parto" - the novenas are nine in total and are celebrate early in the morning. After the mass, believers gather in the churchyard to hear the chanting, accompanied by groups of strings, accordions and castanets, with no shortage of the “despiques”, which are followed by the snack with spirits, liqueurs and cakes.

In some parishes of Madeira such as Câmara de Lobos and Camacha, the tradition of philharmonic bands is maintained, accompanied by other instruments, such as castanets, bass drums, braguinhas or accordions, of going door to door, in a joyful symphony, to awaken its locals and rush them to this typical ritual of our land.

Market Night is held on

Christmas in Madeira is most eagerly awaited by all for two reasons: it is the most important time of the year, a time to celebrate customs and traditions in a tribute to folklore and legacy of the inhabitants, and because the island is indeed ‘breathtakingly beautiful’ as a tourist once defined Madeira in a nutshell.

December 23rd, when Madeirans do their last-minute Christmas shopping and it is in this hustle and bustle that the spirit of the “Festivity” can best be felt, the nickname given by the Madeirans to identify Christmas. The inhabitants move towards the Farmers' Market where the surrounding streets, which are closed to traffic, are occupied by various points of sale opened throughout the night. They have varied local products such as flowers, shrubs, fruits, vegetables, sweets, wine-and-garlic meat sandwiches and typical drinks, such as poncha. At nightfall the biggest attraction of the day begins, a traditional Christmas carols show, where locals take on the role of true artists.

Also the participation of music bands and folklore groups helps to maintain the atmosphere of celebration and fun until dawn.

On Christmas Eve it is customary to serve chicken soup and various meat dishes at family gatherings. In addition, home-made tangerine, orange or aniseed liquors or a good glass of Madeira wine are also drunk.

On Christmas Day generally people eat pork in wine and garlic or stuffed turkey. Furthermore the most common sweets for this season are

"Bolo de Família" (Family Cake), "Bolo de Mel" (Honey Cake), and popular sweets like "rosquilhas de manteiga" (butter biscuits) "broas de mel" e "broas de manteiga" (honey and butter biscuits) and "palitos de cerveja" (beer finger biscuits).

Organised by the Madeira Athletics Association, the Funchal Road Race is one of the oldest sports events of its kind in Portugal and Europe. This race brings lots of adrenaline and excitement to the Madeiran capital.

The fireworks show lasts for about eight minutes and is distributed by several fireworks stations in the Funchal amphitheatre, the waterfront, the city centre, the sea and one station on Porto Santo Island.

This grand spectacle that is one of Madeira’s most important tourist events, was internationally recognised in 2006 by the Guinness Book of Records as "The largest fireworks show in the World".

On the night from January 5th to the 6th it is customary to sing "Kings' Carols", a tradition kept all around the islands, in which people go to their neighbours houses to sing in small groups, accompanied by musicians playing regional instruments , such as the string guitar and the ukekele. Moreover, the women gather food supplies for the night such as wine, fresh bread, and sweets.

Once the band has arrived at the house where they will sing the "Kings' Carols", an improvised musical competition starts between those who remain outdoors and those who are still indoors, until the time the door is opened.

On the 6th of January the arrival of the Three Kings is celebrated, an occasion commemorated with the famous "Bolo Rei" (King's Cake), which comes with a hidden bean. Tradition says that whoever is lucky enough to end up with the slice with the bean will have to buy the cake the following year while whoever ends up with the surprise gift will have to buy the drinks.

Festas de Natal e Fim do Ano É com a inauguração das iluminações decorativas nas ruas da baixa citadina do Funchal, durante o mês de dezembro, que se inicia o programa das Festas de Natal e de Fim de Ano da Madeira, a decorrer entre os dias 1 de dezembro 2017 a 7 de janeiro 2018.

Estas comemorações integram um rico e extenso programa de manifestações culturais, religiosas, etnográficas e artísticas que abrange todo o mês de dezembro e que termina no dia 8 de janeiro.

"Missas do Parto" O Natal inicia-se com as "Missas do Parto" a partir do dia 16 de dezembro e terminam na véspera do Dia de Natal, com a missa do galo. As "Missas do Parto" (as novenas) são nove, no seu total e celebram-se de madrugada. Depois da missa, no adro da igreja os crentes reúnem-se para ouvirem os cânticos, acompanhados por grupos de cordas, acordeões e castanholas e onde não faltam os "despiques" a que se segue o "mata-bicho" com as aguardentes, licores, broas e bolos.

Em algumas freguesias da Madeira, como Câmara de Lobos e Camacha, mantém-se a tradição das bandas filarmónicas, acompanhadas por outros tocadores de instrumentos, como castanholas, bombos, braguinhas ou acordeões, irem de porta em porta, numa sinfonia alegre, despertar os habitantes e apressá-los para este ritual típico da nossa terra.

Dia 28 de dezembro Organizado pela Associação de Atletismo da Madeira, a Volta à Cidade do Funchal é uma das mais antigas provas desportivas do género em Portugal e na Europa.

Dia 31 de dezembro O espetáculo de fogo-de-artifício tem uma duração de cerca de oito minutos e está distribuído por diversos postos de queima de fogo localizados no anfiteatro do Funchal, na orla marítima e baixa citadina, no mar e um posto na Ilha do Porto Santo.

Dia 5 de janeiro Na noite de 5 para 6 de janeiro cantam-se os Reis em casa dos vizinhos, e um pouco por toda a parte. É neste espirito que procura recriar a tradição popular dos cantares tradicionais madeirenses que se faziam neste dia, porta à porta, em diversas localidades da RAM que a Associação de Casas do Povo da Região Autónoma da Madeira organiza e produz no auditório do Jardim Municipal do Funchal, o espetáculo musical "Cantar os Reis".

Dia 23 de dezembro A Noite do Mercado realiza-se no dia 23 de dezembro, quando os madeirenses efetuam as últimas compras de Natal e é nesta azáfama que melhor se sente o espírito da "Festa", designação conferida pelo povo madeirense ao Natal. Os habitantes deslocam-se até ao Mercado dos Lavradores onde as ruas circundantes, que se encontram encerradas ao trânsito, são ocupadas por diversos postos de venda abertos durante toda a noite. Estes apresentam variados produtos regionais como flores, arbustos, frutas, legumes, doces, sandes de carne vinhoe-alhos e bebidas típicas, como a poncha.

Ao cair da noite decorre a maior atração do dia, um espetáculo de cânticos tradicionais de Natal onde os habitantes locais assumem o papel de verdadeiros artistas. Também a participação de bandas de música e ranchos folclóricos ajudam a manter o ambiente de festa e de muita animação até ao amanhecer.

Interview with a Pilot: Simão Saldanha Born and raised in Funchal, Madeira, First Officer Simão Saldanha, 28, has been flying for almost nine years. Despite being away from his wife and son for long periods of time, waking up late in the evening for a long haul flight, or experiencing jet lag, especially when crossing more than five time zones, he still loves what he does.

A passionate and dedicated pilot, Simão now resides in Istanbul’s western side, Turkey, and flies Airbus A330s to the four corners of the world for renowned Turkish Airlines, which has been rewarded by Skytrax with the title of Europe’s Best Airline for the sixth consecutive time.

“As far as I remember, I’ve always wanted to be a pilot,” Simon says. “I remember spending hours on the computer, surfing the internet, searching for the minimum requirements to become a pilot: physics, math, English, age, height, weight, etc.”

Now, in an exclusive interview, Simon shares his experience about life in and outside the cockpit.

Distinguished Madeiran MIM: How many hours have you acquired in the cockpit?

SS: I’ve acquired roughly 5,000 flight hours: 200 on single-engine and multiengine propeller airplanes, 1,500 hours on the Airbus A320 and 3,300 hours on the Airbus A330.

MIM: Have you always wanted to be a pilot, and what was your career path to becoming one?

SS: There are some funny stories that my family and I have shared at the dining table, all rather reminiscent of my early days in which I wanted to be an astronaut, a pianist or a dentist.

My very first step towards a career path in aviation was back in ninth grade. At that time there was a significant change in the Portuguese education system, a change that would require you to choose a profession there and then. If not, you would end up in the wrong school, studying the wrong subjects.

As a result, I attended Escola Secundaria Jaime Moniz, a local high school, where, in my particular case, the key academic fields of study consisted of Science and Technology. Subjects included physics, biology, math, English and many others.

Frankly, such subjects were of no help to me in becoming a pilot. Nonetheless, it had to be done.

As soon as I completed the twelfth year, I contacted a flight school in order to apply to their upcoming course, which, at that time, was only available eight months after submitting the application form.

I was never a brilliant student, but I always had well defined life goals, and I always achieved them. So, as an alternative to going to Bahamas for eight months, I decided to go to university for six as part

of the effort to become more proficient in maths and physics. I wish I had chosen the Bahamas package instead.

I also undertook a private English course at a local language school in order to boost my vocabulary.

As for the official journey or take-off of my flying career, it took place in Évora, Portugal on January 2nd, 2008.

MIM: What do you love about your job?

SS: I love to be able to fly one of the most advanced machines ever built by humankind. Additionally, I’ve got the priviledge of visiting new places, meeting different people, conceptualizing different ways of thinking and being exposed to different religions. It really opens up one’s mind.

MIM: Are there any other pilots in your family?

SS: Yes, my wife is a pilot as well.

MIM: Would you like your son to grow up to be a pilot?

SS: If he was 17 years old, and wanted to pursue such a path for his life, I would be very pleased. After all, he’d be following his parents’ footsteps. He would certainly make me proud, but I can’t really say whether or not I’d be ecstatic about it. The business is not the same as it was twenty years ago, and it won’t be the same twenty years from now. Luckily, if I’m still flying by that time, I will give him the best guidance I can.

MIM: What do you do when you’re not flying?

SS: I try to spend as much time as I can with my family. Seeing that we have a two-year-old son and two people flying, there’s not much spare time left these days.

MIM: Tell us about your first flight.

SS: I was a 12-year-old passenger travelling from Funchal to Porto via Lisbon.

Later on in life I flew as a student pilot, on the 15th of December 2008, at the

interview entrevista Aeronautical Academy of Europe, an aerodrome and flight school located in Evora, Portugal.

MIM: What was your most memorable flight?

SS: I've had many memorable flights, so it’s rather difficult to choose one in particular due to the different types of experiences I’ve had. I vividly recall my first flight as a student pilot, my first solo flight, my first flight on the A320 and my first flight on the A330. Other unforgettable flights involve weather phenomena.

These include severe thunderstorms in the Bay of Bengal, severe rain in Africa, low visibility in Northern Europe, severe turbulence in Seoul, and heavy snow in New York. As you see, it's really tough to name only one.

MIM: What are your favourite airport approach or landing sites, and why?

SS: That's very difficult to answer, as there are many beautiful places worldwide. But, let's start with the three M's: Madeira, Maldives and Mauritius. All three are beautiful islands practically ‘isolated’ from the world. As for large metropolis’ I’d have to mention Chicago, Istanbul, Lisbon, Cape Town, and Kabul due to their distinctive landscape.

MIM: What was the best piece of flying advice ever given to you?

SS: ‘Don't forget to fly the airplane! Whatever the situation, always remember to fly the airplane!’

MIM: As a pilot what question do you get asked the most?

SS: ‘Aren't you scared?’ ‘What do you do in the air for so many hours?’ ‘Can you go to the W/C?’ ‘Can the airplane land by itself?’ ‘Where's gate 212?’

MIM: What’s your favourite aircraft, and why?

SS: The Airbus A321. It's the longest, most economical short haul aircraft flying nowadays, with an astonishing performance. It’s easy to fly and very stable during rough weather conditions.

MIM: Where was your last flight (to and from)?

SS: By the time you’ve read this article, I will have travelled to Istanbul, Turkey to Atlanta, Georgia, USA. MIM: What's the one thing you always pack for before every flight?

SS: Seeing that most of the time I fly long haul flights, I pack a lot. Actually, more than I would ever want to. As the years fly by, I always try to go as light as I can, but in this job many things can change out of the blue due to weather conditions or delays. So, I always pack the essentials, like extra undergarments.

MIM: What's the one thing you reckon will change private aviation in the next 5 years?

SS: The aviation sector is very dynamic and it has a tendency to change according to the global economy.

I'm quite sure that there will be changes in the next 5 years, but I really can't predict what and in which order they will happen. As a passenger, you'll be able to spot some of them, while

25

other changes might not be as obvious.

Mind you, it’s not only private aviation that will be affected with such changes, but aviation in general.

In my opinion, there will be a major change in fuel as it is bound to be replaced by biofuels in order to reduce the CO2 emissions and consumption.

Other changes might affect airports and airspaces as they are increasingly getting jammed in many places worldwide. So, airliners will have to seriously reassess their operating model. Furthermore, adding more seats or switching to bigger planes will certainly influence ticket prices on a positive note.

MIM: What was your greatest career change?

SS: I began my career working for a very small, unpopular charter company. The greatest career change was when I joined Europe's best Airliner and moved from the short haul to the long haul.

MIM: What advice would you give to someone who wants to be an airline pilot?

SS: Being a pilot is not what people have in mind, or to be fair, what I had in mind. It's not a glamorous job as many would set it out to be, and life is no bed of roses. You'll constantly have numerous challenges ahead of you. There will be many sleepless nights, and for most of the time, you'll be with your nose on the books in order to stay updated.

On the other hand, you'll be able to travel a lot and be paid for it, interact with different people, stay at hotels, and best of all - fly airplanes!

In a nutshell, clear your doubts from someone who currently flies, be humble during the process, and enjoy every bit of it.

Scouting Museum CNE-Madeira

Following the emergence of Catholic Scouting in Portugal, the CNE – Corpo Nacional de Escutas (National Scouting Corps) soon emerged throughout the country. Enthusiasm soon spread to Madeira where almost immediately a scout movement surfaced for children and teens between the ages of six and fourteen. The year was 1928.

The official ceremony took place on the morning of December 8th in Igreja do Colégio (College Church) with Senior Group nº 5 pleging allegiance to CNE. On July 9, 1931, the World Chief of Scouting Lord Robert BadenPowell visited Madeira.

Received by the regional government, he left behind his message to the regional scouts of Madeira – “I am delighted with the appearance and discipline of the scouts of Madeira and I wish them success and blissful camping.”

Today, CNE of Madeira has gathered approximately 1000 scouts.

Scouting in Madeira Scouting is a movement that aims to support young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, that they may play constructive roles in society, with a strong focus on the outdoors and survival skills. In 1906 and 1907 Robert Baden-Powell, a lieutenant general in the British Army, wrote a book for boys about reconnaissance and scouting. Baden-Powell wrote Scouting for Boys, based on his earlier books about military scouting.

In the summer of 1907 Baden-Powell held a camp on Brownsea Island in England to test ideas for his book. This camp and the publication of Scouting for Boys are generally regarded as the start of the Scout movement.

The movement focuses on camping, woodcraft, aquatics, hiking, backpacking, and sports. The Scout uniform also plays an important role in the movement, with neckerchief and campaign hat or comparable headwear.

Distinctive uniform insignia include the fleur-de-lis and the trefoil, as well as badges and other patches.

The two largest umbrella organizations are the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), for boysonly and co-educational organizations, and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), primarily for girls-only organizations but also accepting coeducational organizations.

Corpo Nacional de Escutas (CNE) is the catholic Scout association of Portugal, established in May 1923, by archbishop Manuel Vieira de Matos and father Dr. Avelino Gonçalves in the city of Braga. With nearly 70.000 Scouts – boys and girls, men and women, CNE is the largest youth association in the country. Its action is supported by 52 regional and sub-regional structures and one national based in Lisbon. CNE is a founding member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, the International Catholic Conference of Scouting, as well as of the Portuguese Scout Federation.

Escutismo O CNE (Corpo Nacional de Escutas) é a maior Organização de Juventude de Portugal. O CNE é uma associação de juventude, destinada à formação integral de jovens, com base no método criado por Baden-Powell e no voluntariado dos seus membros.

CNE-MADEIRA Após o aparecimento do Escutismo Católico em Portugal que foi fundado em 1923 em Braga pelo saudoso Arcebispo Primaz, D. Manuel Vieira de Matos, o Corpo Nacional de Escutas depressa se desenvolveu espalhando-se pelo país além e a Madeira também se entusiasmou com a iniciativa desse movimento destinado ás crianças e jovens nas idades compreendidas entre os seis e os catorze anos de idade. A primeira equipa da Junta Regional do C.N.E foi constituída em 1927.

Assim, o Corpo Nacional de Escutas teve o seu início na Madeira no ano de 1928.

Oficialmente tudo começou na manhã de 8 de Dezembro desse longínquo ano, na Igreja do Colégio. Foi lá que se realizaram as promessas dos primeiros elementos desta Associação, pertencentes ao Grupo Sénior nº5.

Facto digno de relevo foi a visita, em 9 de Julho de 1931, do Chefe Mundial do Escutismo Lord Robert Baden-Powell, de passagem pela Madeira. Recebido pela chefia regional, manifestou-lhe as melhores impressões do escutismo local, bem elucidativas na sua mensagem que abaixo se transcreve: "Fiquei hoje encantado com a apresentação e a disciplina dos escuteiros da Madeira e desejo-lhes todos os sucessos e «bom acampamento»".

Actualmente o CNE Madeira congrega cerca de 1000 Escuteiros, distribuídos pelos 16 Agrupamentos existentes nos vários Concelhos da Região.

Museu do Escutismo O Museu reúne uma imensa variedade de artigos relacionados com o escutismo, que vale a pena ser visitada.

Casa do Escuteiro A Junta Regional dos Escuteiros da região da Madeira disponibiliza um espaço, integrado na sede, preparado para acolher escuteiros que “queiram realizar atividades” na ilha.

A “Casa do Escuteiro”, situada no Bairro da Nazaré, no Funchal, está preparada para albergar 16 pessoas “em regime de camarata com beliches”, repartidos por um quarto com quatro beliches e mais dois quartos com dois beliches cada.

Este espaço na sede da Junta Regional dos Escuteiros da Região da Madeira possui também uma cozinha equipada e uma sala polivalente com televisão por cabo e Internet por wireless.
