Investimento de oito milhões reabilita edifício inacabado no Hospital das Caldas da Rainha

A Unidade Local de Saúde (ULS) do Oeste vai investir oito milhões de euros na reabilitação de um edifício inacabado onde funcionam vários serviços do Hospital das Caldas da Rainha, anunciou hoje a instituição.

Em causa está “um edifício inacabado, com dois pisos, onde apesar das condições muito precárias funcionam diversos serviços”, divulgou o conselho de administração da ULS Oeste, reconhecendo como “prioritária” a reabilitação da estrutura integrada no Hospital das Caldas da Rainha, no distrito de Leiria.

O edifício é ocupado pelos serviços de Cardiologia, Serviço Social, admissão de doentes e as consultas externas de Pediatria e de Oftalmologia.

“A reabilitação deste edifício é muito importante para a melhoria dos cuidados de saúde que prestamos à população em várias especialidades muito sensíveis, pelo que é uma notícia que foi recebida com grande satisfação", afirma a presidente do conselho de administração, Elsa Baião, aludindo à aprovação de financiamento pelo Fundo de Reabilitação e Conservação Patrimonial, o qual irá financiar 80% da despesa da intervenção orçada em oito milhões de euros.

"O investimento a realizar é muito significativo e representa a aposta desta Unidade Local de Saúde no reforço das condições de funcionamento da Unidade Hospitalar de Caldas da Rainha", acrescenta a responsável, citada num comunicado.

De acordo com a ULS, a reabilitação “vai permitir a melhoria da salubridade, da acessibilidade, da funcionalidade e do conforto, para utentes e profissionais” dos serviços ali instalados e ainda possibilitar a transferência da farmácia (que funciona em instalações modulares) para instalações definitivas.

Permitirá ainda a criação de uma Unidade de Citotóxicos, bem como transferir o Serviço de Sistemas de Informação e Comunicação e o respetivo ‘data center’ para as Caldas da Rainha.

A obra possibilitará também a criação de um espaço de cafetaria para utentes e acompanhantes, na proximidade das principais salas de espera da unidade das Caldas da Rainha, bem como transferir e ampliar a Unidade de Cirurgia de Ambulatório, dotando-a de uma sala cirúrgica própria.

E, igualmente, transferir e ampliar os hospitais de dia de Oncologia e de Imuno-hemoterapia, “criando condições para responder às atuais necessidades destes serviços”, lê-se no comunicado.

As áreas libertadas pelos serviços que passarão a funcionar no edifício a reabilitar “vão permitir dar resposta às necessidades de adaptação das instalações afetas ao Serviço de Aprovisionamento e Logística e ao Serviço de Gestão de Recursos Humanos, para acomodar adequadamente os novos recursos decorrentes da criação da ULS do Oeste”.

Outras das vantagens será a libertação de espaço para a ampliação da Neonatologia, bem como a ampliação das consultas externas e do laboratório de Patologia Clínica.

"Este projeto é muito mais do que intervir num único edifício, pois vai permitir o ajustamento de vários serviços e de várias outras infraestruturas, numa lógica estruturada de melhoria dos serviços deste hospital, servindo melhor a comunidade", sublinha Elsa Baião.

O arranque dos trabalhos está previsto para o próximo ano e as obras deverão ficar concluídas até ao final de 2027, informa ainda a ULS, explicando que “a complexidade da intervenção a realizar obriga a uma calendarização também ela delicada”.

A ULS do Oeste agrega numa única entidade o Centro Hospitalar do Oeste (que integra os hospitais das Caldas da Rainha, Torres Vedras e Peniche) e os Agrupamentos de Centros de Saúde (ACES) do Oeste Norte e Oeste Sul.

A ULS do Oeste começou a funcionar em 01 de janeiro e integra os concelhos de Caldas da Rainha, Óbidos, Bombarral, Peniche (ACES Oeste Norte), Lourinhã, Cadaval, Torres Vedras, Sobral Monte Agraço (ACES Oeste Sul), servindo uma população de mais de 235 mil residentes.

The pontiff did not interfere in these affairs further than to endeavor to bring the parties to a mutual accommodation; but while he refrained from external wars he incurred the danger of more serious troubles at home. Stefano Porcari was a Roman citizen, equally distinguished for nobility of birth and extent of learning, but still more by the excellence of his character. Like all who are in pursuit of glory, he resolved either to perform or to attempt something worthy of memory, and thought he could not do better than deliver his country from the hands of the prelates, and restore the ancient form of government; hoping, in the event of success, to be considered a new founder or second father of the city. The dissolute manners of the priesthood, and the discontent of the Roman barons and people, encouraged him to look for a happy termination of his enterprise; but he derived his greatest confidence from those verses of Petrarch in the canzone which begins, "Spirto gentil che quelle membra reggi," where he says,

"Sopra il Monte Tarpejo canzon vedra, Un cavalier, ch' Italia tutta onora, Pensoso piu d'altrui, che di se stesso."

Stefano, believing poets are sometimes endowed with a divine and prophetic spirit, thought the event must take place which Petrarch in this canzone seemed to foretell, and that he was destined to effect the glorious task; considering himself in learning, eloquence, friends, and influence, superior to any other citizen of Rome. Having taken these impressions, he had not sufficient prudence to avoid discovering his design by his discourse, demeanor, and mode of living; so that the pope becoming acquainted with it, in order to prevent the commission of some rash act, banished him to Bologna and charged the governor of the city to compel his appearance before him once every day. Stefano was not daunted by this first check, but with even greater earnestness prosecuted his undertaking, and, by such means as were available, more cautiously corresponded with his friends, and often went and returned from Rome with such celerity as to be in time to present himself before the governor within the limit allowed for his appearance. Having acquired a sufficient number of partisans, he determined to make the attempt without further delay, and arranged with his friends at Rome to provide an evening banquet, to which all the conspirators were invited, with orders that each should bring with him his most trust-worthy friends, and himself promised to be with him before the entertainment was served.

Leonor Teles, Queen of Portugal (wife of King Fernando I of Portugal)

Tenure: 5 May 1372 – 22 October 1383 Regent: 1383 - 1384

Leonor Teles (or Teles de Meneses) (1350 – 27 April 1386 or 1405) was queen consort of Portugal by marriage to King Fernando I, and one of the protagonists, along with her brothers and her daughter Beatriz, of the events that led to the succession crisis of 1383–1385, which culminated in the defeat of her son-in-law King Juan I of Castile and his armies in the Battle of Aljubarrota. Called "the Treacherous" (a Aleivosa) by her subjects, who execrated her on account of her adultery and treason to her native country, she was dubbed by the historian Alexandre Herculano as "the Portuguese Lucrezia Borgia".

The date or place of Leonor's and her siblings' birth is not recorded in any document. According to some sources, she was born in Trás-os-Montes because King Fernando I on 3 January 1375 donated Vila Real to his wife "for being a native of the province of Tralosmontes". If so, she would be the first queen of Portugal born in that country. Yet, her parents lived in Castile from 1340 and it was between that year and 1356 when the children of the marriage were born, as well as the illegitimate daughter; there are no sources that mention the births or the early years of the siblings.This is the reason Portuguese historian Ferro Tavares suspects the place of her birth was actually in Castilian territory and that the birthplace was changed on purpose. According to this hypothesis, the place of origin was moved to a Portuguese location in order to stress the political detachment he made from the Franco-Castilian diplomatic bloc in the Hundred Years' War with such a marriage. This situation is complicated by the fact Leonor's family held lands and tenancies in Portuguese territory, which makes the thesis of Trás-os-Montes still viable,

A member of the lineage of the Teles de Meneses, an important family originally from Tierra de Campos, Leonor's father Martim Afonso Telo de Meneses, a Portuguese nobleman, mayordomo mayor and alleged lover of Queen Maria de Portugal, the wife of King Alfonso XI of Castile, was assassinated in 1356 by orders of King Pedro. Leonor's mother was Aldonça Eanes de Vasconcelos, daughter and heiress of João Mendes de Vasconcelos and Aldara Afonso Alcoforado.

Leonor had three full-siblings: two brothers—João Afonso Telo (6th Count of Barcelos, mayor of Lisbon in 1372 and admiral of the Portuguese kingdom around 1375, who died in the Battle of Aljubarrota) and Gonçalo Teles de Meneses (Count of Neiva and Lord de Faria)—and a sister—María Teles de Meneses, who was married first to Alvaro Dias de Sousa and then to João of Portugal, an illegitimate half-brother of Leonor's husband King Fernando I. María was murdered in 1379 by her second husband, who accused her of adultery; historians suspect that Leonor, fearing for the succession of her daughter Beatriz and her own position as regent, was involved in the crime. Maria was a lady-in-waiting of her sister-in-law Beatriz of Portugal,

and introduced Leonor to King Fernando I, who fell passionately in love with her, when she visited her sister in court.

Leonor also had an illegitimate paternal half-sister, Juana Teles de Meneses. Leonor arranged her marriage to Juan Alfonso Pimentel, first Count of Benavente, who supported the cause of the Castilian king during the succession crisis and was exiled to that kingdom.

Leonor was also the niece of João Afonso Telo, fourth Count of Barcelos and first Count of Ourém, whose daughter, Leonor, was the wife of Pedro de Castro "The One-eyed", son of Álvaro Pires de Castro, Count of Arraiolos, Lord de Cadaval and Ferreira, Constable of Portugal, and brother of Inês de Castro, mistress (and alleged secret wife) of King Pedro I of Portugal. The Teles de Meneses and the Castros were among the most powerful and influential families in the kingdoms of Leon, Castile and Portugal.

In 1365, Leonor had wed João Lourenço da Cunha, 2nd Lord of Pombeiro, to whom she was still married when she met King Fernando I of Portugal. Two children were born of her union with João Lourenço: a daughter who died in infancy, and a son Alvaro da Cunha, heir to the lordship of his father. According to the later chronicler Fernão Lopes, Leonor abandoned her son when she married King Fernando I, making him pose as the son of Lope Dias de Sousa and a "woman member of his household named Elvira", calling him Alvaro de Sousa, so that she could "pretend to be a virgin for the king, saying that her husband had never slept with her". King Fernando I subsequently attempted to obtain the annulment of Leonor's first marriage on the grounds of consanguinity, in order to preserve the legitimacy of their daughter, Beatriz of Portugal. The jurist João das Regras claimed, in one of the arguments he made before the courts of Coimbra in 1385 after King Fernando I died, that Leonor was not free to marry another man because the needed papal dispensation had been secured (a fact that the king concealed) and her mother's first marriage was therefore valid, meaning Beatrice was illegitimate. The Coimbra courts determined that, since all pretenders to the throne, that is, the sons of Inês de Castro and the master of Aviz, were illegitimate, the dynastic line had been severed and the people, through their representatives, could choose a new king.

Before marrying Leonor, several marriage negotiations were made for the infante, who became King Fernando I. In 1358 a marriage between him and Beatrice, the first-born daughter of King Pedro I of Castile, was considered but never took place. In 1364 the marriage of Ferdinand to Infanta Joana of Aragon, daughter of King Pedro IV was negotiated, and years later, in late 1369, a marriage to another daughter of the Aragonese king, Infanta Leonor was also pursued, but neither of these marriages came to pass. In 1371 King Fernando I suffered a defeat when he invaded Galicia; one of the stipulations of the Treaty of Alcoutim was his marriage to Infanta Leoanor, daughter of King Henry II of Castile. Any of these marriages would have pleased the Portuguese people, although the last one, according to the stipulations in the Treaty of Alcoutim, could imply "a threat to the sovereignty of the Portuguese Kingdom". Fernando I broke his betrothal to the Castilian infanta and on 5 May 1372, the official wedding was celebrated away from the court in the small town of Leça do Balio.

From the beginning, João and Dinis of Portugal, the sons of Inês de Castro and half-brothers of the king, showed their rejection of both this marriage and the "rise of Leonor and her relatives"

King Fernando had given Leonor in the arras charter of January 1372 several cities, all associated with the lordships of the queens of Portugal, among them Abrantes, Alenquer, Torres Vedras, Vila Viçosa, Almada, Sintra, Atouguia, Óbidos, Sacavém, Frielas and Unhos, which also included their houses, ports, fishmongers, royal rights, and other goods, and in April of the same year he also gave her Aveiro. The king was generous to Leonor because she had not brought any dowry to the marriage, since legally, the wife lost her dowry in favor of the deserted husband, and "her family had not yet recovered financially from the loss of the first dowry". In 1374, Leonor exchanged Vila Viçosa for Vila Real de Trás-os-Montes and in 1376 she bought Pinhel.

In early February 1373, during the brief siege that the Castilian troops imposed on the city in the second Fernandine War, Leonor gave birth in Coimbra to her first child with the king, a daughter called Beatriz. Three years later, in 1376, Beatriz was affirmed as heiress to the throne in the Cortes of Leiria. In his testament dated 1378, King Fernando I disinherited his half-siblings, the children of Inês de Castro (João, Dinis and Beatrice, frequently called the Infantes Castro), whom he accused of an attempt to poison him with the help of Diogo Lopes Pacheco.

After several failed betrothals, the marriage of the Portuguese king's daughter to João I of Castile was negotiated by Juan Fernández Anderio. Pursuant to the clauses of the marriage contract, both kingdoms would remain separate, Leonor would be regent and the throne would be inherited by the son born to Beatriz and Juan I, who would be educated in Portugal beginning at age three and would assume the throne at age fourteen.

Leonor began to participate actively in the kingdom's government immediately after her marriage:

"Although there was popular discontent because the queen was the absolute owner of the government and with her the Castilians [...] Portugal entered into a process of prosperity [...] thanks to the promotion of agriculture, trade and the creation of the fleet which, along with the superb walls of Lisbon, were the glories of that reign.”

The people's rejection of the queen was due partly to the governmental posts offered by Leonor to the emperegilados, or "Petrists", the name given to the supporters of King Pedro I of Castile against his half-brother, King Henry II; one of these was the Galician Juan Fernández de Andeiro. In 1369, during the First Fernandine War, Andeiro was one of the "Petrists" who received Fernando I in La Coruña when, after the death of Pedro I, the Portuguese king, as the great-grandson of King Sancho IV of Castile, proclaimed himself heir of the Castilian throne and invaded Galicia. In 1380, Andeiro was at the English court as emissary of Fernando I on a diplomatic mission. He disembarked on his return to Portugal in Oporto, and then went to Estremoz to meet the Portuguese king, but shortly after his arrival he had to hide in a tower for several days, because, according to the provisions of the Treaty of Alcoutim signed in 1371 after the First Fernandine War, all the supporters of Pedro I of Castile were to be expelled from Portugal. It was during his stay in Estremoz, according to the later chronicler Fernão Lopes, that a love affair began between Juan Fernández de Andeiro and Leonor, although the sources used by the chronicler for this assertion are unknown. From 1381 to 1383, Andeiro was one of the closest advisers of Fernando I and Leonor.

While the king and his counselors were in Elvas to discuss a new war with Castile, on 19 July 1382, Leonor gave birth to a son, Afonso, who lived only four days, dying on 23 July under mysterious circumstances; some observers say it was due to the sultry weather in the Alentejo region during that summer, while others, including Fernão Lopes, said that Fernando I, suspecting the infidelity of his wife, had thought the child was the son of Andeiro and in a fit of anger suffocated the infant prince in his cradle. Fernão Lopes also states that the court dressed in mourning only for protocol, since most of the courtiers thought the dead prince was not the king's son.

On 27 September 1383 Leonor gave birth to a daughter who lived only a few days; as in the previous case, it was also rumored that, due to King Fernando's long illness, he was not the infant's father. One month later, on 22 October, the Portuguese monarch died, either of tuberculosis or of gradual poisoning. Leonor did not attend the funeral, according to the chronicler Fernão Lopes, "saying that she felt ill, and could not be there", because of her recent childbirth, or according to other commentators, "fearing the murmur of the people."

Advised by the "emperegilados", Leonor assumed the regency in the name of her daughter, recently married to the Castilian king, following the terms of the marriage contract of Beatriz and King Juan I, under which it was stipulated that at the death of the king of Portugal, the dowager queen would be the regent and governor of the kingdom.

There were two parties, one that supported the pretensions of King Juan I of Castile and the other, represented by the bourgeoisie of Lisbon, whose objective was to expel the foreigners from the government so that the kingdom would be governed only by the Portuguese. This party proposed the marriage of the dowager queen with the master of Aviz, the future King João I of Portugal, but Leonor rejected this proposal. In Lisbon, supporters of the master of Aviz who refused to recognize Beatriz as queen for fear of Portugal's loss of independence, organized a conspiracy to assassinate Juan Fernández de Andeiro. The first two attempts (one of them was organized by Leonor's brother, João Afonso Telo) failed. The third and last attempt took place on 6 December 1383. The master of Aviz gave him a thrust and once on the ground, Rui Pereira killed him.

This happened in the royal palace next to Leonor's chamber. The master apologized for what had happened and asked her to prevent the Castilian king from entering the kingdom of Portugal. Leonor demanded that Andeiro be buried with dignity and said to him, "And haven't you got any pity for that man lying there dead in such dishonor? Just for the sake of being a nobleman like you, take pity on him and have him buried; don't let him lie there so". He ignored her plea and Leonor was personally responsible for the burial of her friend that night in the Church of Saint Martin.

In January 1384 Leonor asked her son-in-law, King Juan I, to come to Portugal to avenge the death of Andeiro. Chronicler Pero López de Ayala related the event as follows:

When King Juan I was in La Guardia at the beginning of 1384, he received a message from Leonor telling him how the master of Avis had killed the Count of Ourém (Fernandez de Andeiro) and the Bishop of Lisbon in her presence. She had gone to Santarém, understanding that those in Lisbon did not want her or Beatriz there, but she had powerful brothers and relatives in Portugal, as well as possession of the town of Santarém. She asked him to come and so he did [...] She gave him the fortresses of the town and renounced her rule in favor of the king, which according to the terms of his marriage contract, she had to hold until the king of Castile had a son with Beatriz.

Juan I asked Leonor to renounce the regency, although some of the dowager queen's advisers tried to dissuade her and warned her of the danger and illegality, since she could not renounce a government that "had been attributed and sworn in the Cortes" and that only the Cortes could authorize it. However, Leonor remained firm in her purpose and ordered the drafting of the instrument of resignation. After the transfer of powers in January 1384, Juan I of Castile began to use the title of "King of Portugal", combined the royal coat of arms of both Castile and Portugal, and began to confirm royal charters without mentioning his wife, Queen Beatriz, as "Juan, by the grace of God, king of Castile, Leon, Portugal, Toledo and Galicia (D. João, por graça de deus, Rei de Castela, Leão, Portugal, Toledo e Galiza).

Shortly afterwards, Leonor distanced herself from her son-in-law, because, among other reasons, the king did not appoint one of her favorites as the Chief Rabbi of the Jews of Castile. The dowager queen began to ask those who supported her to defend the master of Aviz and not the king of Castile, and also wrote to the cities that the Castilian king had tried to occupy to refuse their obedience to him. When the king marched to Coimbra, accompanied by his wife and mother-in-law, the city was already under the protection of Gonçalo Teles, Leonor's brother, as well as her uncle Gonçalo Mendes de Vasconcelos. Leonor participated in a conspiracy to kill her son-in-law and, according to the chronicler Fernão Lopes, was discovered in the presence of her daughter Beatriz, who confronted her mother saying: "Oh Lady mother, in a year you wanted to see me a widow, orphan and disinherited?"

Once Leonor's conspiracies were discovered in March 1384 and she was "blamed as an intriguer", Juan I "took the advice of those who said that the queen should be arrested and sent to Castile and ordered that she must be taken to the monastery in Tordesillas where "widowed queens and daughters of kings had resided previously".

How Queen Leonor was taken to Castile: The king asked for the advice of his councilors, saying that it seemed right to him to imprison the queen his mother-in-law and send her to a monastery in Castile, and not to allow her to remain in Portugal any longer, because of what had happened [...] the advice given by his council was that she should be arrested and taken to Castile, consequently she was delivered to Diego López de Estúñiga. When the king left Coimbra and went to Santarém, he took the queen with him, and from there took her to Castile and placed her in the Royal Convent of Santa Clara in Tordesillas.

There are no documentary sources to confirm the exact year of her death—probably 1405—or of the place where she was buried. Portuguese historian Joze Barbosa, in his work Catalogo das Rainhas de Portugal, said that she died on 27 April 1386 in Tordesillas and that she was buried in a convent in Valladolid, without specifying which one. However, there is evidence that Leonor was still alive in 1390 when her son-in-law, King Juan I of Castile, in the Cortes that were held that year in Guadalajara, included her in the expenses of his household. In the same year, after the death of the Castilian monarch, Leonor left Tordesillas and settled in Valladolid. In his last will executed in July 1385, King Juan I entrusted his son, the future Henry III of Castile, with the responsibility of always honoring his wife Beatriz and his mother-in-law Leonor Teles. When Henry III executed his will on 4 December 1406, he mentioned Beatriz but not Leonor and, consequently, it can be assumed that she had already died.

Her desire to be buried in the Convent of Saint Francis in Santarém next to her husband, King Fernando, was not fulfilled. Juan Antolínez de Burgos, a 16th – 17th century author who wrote a book on the history of Valladolid, states, without citing any sources, that Leonor was buried in the convent of Nuestra Señora de la Merced in Valladolid where Leonor lived after abandoning Tordesillas.

During refurbishment work in 1626, a niche was found with two coffins that supposedly contained the remains of Leonor and her son. A plaque was later placed, dated 1384, which identifies the place as the burial of both. The date is wrong because Leonor's date of death is unknown, although it had to be between 1390—when King Juan I of Castile included her in the expenses of his household—and 1406—when his son King Henry III executed his last will mentioning his stepmother Beatriz, but not her mother Leonor.

Why is the Castellammare di Stabia Marina the Best Choice if you Desire to Sail and Discover the Gulf of Naples?

Probably still little known internationally, the city of Castellammare di Stabia and its marina are becoming increasingly popular as locations for boaters wishing to navigate the Campania archipelago and/or the Amalfi Coast.

This is due to its strategic geographical position to the Gulf of Naples and also to its proximity to some world-famous tourist sites such as Pompeii.

Where is this marina located? How to reach it?

The city of Castellammare di Stabia and its marina are located south of the city of Naples in southern Italy. It overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea and is set on the coastal stretch of the Gulf of Naples, between the volcano Vesuvius and the Sorrento peninsula.

This southern Italian town can be easily reached either by car or train or by air. By car, it is necessary to take the highway towards Naples – Reggio Calabria. By train, again from Naples, it takes the Naples – Gragnano line and gets off at the Castellammare di Stabia stop.

However, the most comfortable mode is the plane. It is indeed possible to land at Naples Capodichino International Airport, located a few kilometers from both Naples and Castellammare di Stabia, and then reach the marina by taxi in a few minutes.

What services does Castellammare di Stabia offer to its customers?

Marina di Stabia tourist port is one of the best equipped and organized in the entire Neapolitan archipelago. It boasts 871 berths for boats up to 100 meters in length and depths on the quay up to 6 meters deep.

The quay is equipped with columns for the supply of electricity from 16 to 400 Amps and free Wi-Fi while mooring assistance is guaranteed 24 hours a day.

Among its services, Marina di Stabia is equipped with a restaurant, a launderette, a gym, and a play area for children as well as a convenient secure car park with 1,000 spaces complete with luggage trolleys.

At customers’ request, the marina provides transfers to and from Capodichino airport or to the Naples central railway station.

Why choose Castellammare di Stabia as a starting point?

In our opinion, Marina di Stabia is an ideal port for those boaters who, in addition to enjoying the sea and the famous places that overlook it, do not want to miss the nearby archaeological areas of Pompeii and Herculaneum or the fabulous gulf panorama seen from the top of Vesuvius or Mount Faito, both reachable in a few minutes by means of a suggestive funicular or an organized trip with off-road vehicles.

This famous archaeological excavation site is located a short distance from the city of Castellammare di Stabia and can be reached in a few minutes by taxi from the tourist port.

Famous throughout the world, these are the archaeological excavations of two entire cities from the Roman era which in the year 79 AD were completely buried by the eruption of a volcano.

Today it is instead a majestic open-air museum that every year gives new discoveries and that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors.

Vesuvius

Vesuvius is one of the active Italian and European volcanoes. Due to its proximity to the population that lives and inhabits its slopes, it is also considered one of the volcanoes with the highest risk and therefore is constantly monitored.

The entire area, now part of the Vesuvius National Park, is nevertheless safe enough to be traveled by trekking lovers along its 11 paths for a total length of 54 kilometers.

The most coveted of these trails is certainly the one that leads up to the “Gran Cono”, the summit of the volcano, to experience the unique experience of walking along the crater of an active volcano.

Mount Faito

For all the inhabitants of the Sorrento peninsula, the mountain has only one name, Faito. This mountain, about 1400 meters high, is the highest point of the Lattari Mountains and marks the beginning of the Sorrento peninsula. It is a very popular destination especially in summer when it represents an escape from the hot and sultry days of the Italian summer.

The easiest way to reach the summit is to take the funicular that leaves from the station of Castellammare di Stabia.

What beauties can you reach by sailing from Castellammare di Stabia?

Sorrento

Sorrento is much more than a seaside resort. This town is the beating heart of the peninsula that bears his name and ideally is the gateway to the Amalfi Coast.

In addition to a historic center full of streets teeming with life, between bars, restaurants, and shops, Sorrento is full of historic villas that can be visited such as Villa Comunale, a unique beauty mansion characterized by a 5-star panorama.

The famous “Deep Valley of the Mills” is also worth a visit. It is a bed of a river now disappeared that once reached the sea where a mill was built for grinding wheat. The business continued until the early 1900s and then interrupted. The result is that dense vegetation has taken over the area, almost completely covering the traces of the activities that took place there (there was also a sawmill, a tuff quarry, and several caves used as cisterns for collecting rainwater). All in the historic center of Sorrento.

Capri

Capri has always been associated with glamorous and elite tourism even though it owes its fortunes to cruise tourism and day trips by tourists arriving from Naples and other coastal cities.

As for the things to do, one cannot fail to start with the magnificent Blue cave. An authentic wonder that can be visited with special boats.

Having a stop in its famous square is almost an obligation. You don’t need to stay long, just the time for a coffee is enough to savor the authentic life and the panorama of this beautiful town.

With 589 meters above sea level, Monte Solaro is instead the highest peak on the island. The easiest and most comfortable way to get to the top is the chairlift located in Vittoria square in Anacapri. From here you can enjoy a unique view that embraces the two gulfs of Naples and Salerno, the island of Ischia, and the legendary Faraglioni.

The latter is precisely the icon of Capri in the world. Do not miss the opportunity to circumnavigate them with your boat!

Amalfi Coast

This coast stretch is probably one of the most famous in the world. It is located along that promontory that extends towards the Tyrrhenian Sea and which is characterized by steep cliffs, cobalt blue sea and some world-famous towns.

If you’re wondering what is the reason for such fame, well it’s difficult to put into words. The place’s atmosphere, its landscapes, and its millenary history, combined with exceptional typical cuisine, can only give you an idea of what awaits you.

What better way to visit it than with a boat trip?

Just mentioning the main villages to which a visit is a must such as Sorrento, Amalfi, Positano, Furore, and Vietri Sul Mare. It is then worth climbing to the top of Ravello to enjoy a breathtaking view.

Os carros do Street View vão percorrer Portugal Continental e as ilhas até ao próximo mês de junho. A tecnológica anunciou que irá recolher imagens em múltiplas cidades e estradas, com o intuito de atualizar as imagens do Maps.

Até junho de 2021, é possível que os portugueses se cruzem com carros do Street View em processo de recolha de imagens. A Google anunciou que vai dar continuidade ao processo de atualização dos mapas disponíveis na funcionalidade Street View, que permite visualizar ruas e estradas no serviço de navegação.

Até junho de 2021, estes carros vão recolher imagens de 360º em várias cidades e estradas em Portugal Continental, Açores e Madeira. Em comunicado, a Google especifica que este procedimento permitirá renovar imagens já existentes ou fotografar regiões ou locais turísticos que não tenham sido abrangidos por recolhas anteriores.

A funcionalidade Street View integra o serviço Google Maps (e também o Google Earth) e está disponível em mais de 80 países, permitindo aos utilizadores explorar uma zona ou rua através de imagens captadas ao nível de rua.

No site do Street View é possível encontrar a lista de locais por onde passará o serviço.

Atenção à privacidade

A empresa sublinha ainda a questão da privacidade na captação destas imagens. Como é possível perceber, ao utilizar o Google Maps a ferramenta de vista de rua raramente apresenta dados como matrículas ou imagens de caras de transeuntes.

"Antes da publicação das imagens, a Google desfoca as caras de pessoas e as matrículas de carros que possam aparecer nas imagens de modo a proteger a privacidade das mesmas. E, mesmo depois de publicadas as imagens, qualquer utilizador, através da opção "comunicar um problema" que aparece no canto inferior de cada imagem, pode solicitar a remoção dessa imagem ou sinalizar algum problema", explica a empresa.

O serviço Google Street View foi disponibilizado em Portugal em 2009, cerca de dois anos após o lançamento desta ferramenta.

Doentes menos graves desviados das urgências para centros de saúde no Oeste até fim do ano

Os doentes menos graves vão ser desviados “até ao final do ano” das urgências hospitalares para os centros de saúde da região Oeste, anunciou hoje a administradora da Unidade Local de Saúde (ULS) à agência Lusa.

“Esperamos até ao final do ano estar em condições de avançar com este projeto que, acima de tudo, visa dar uma melhor resposta aos doentes, encaminhá-los para a melhor solução para a sua situação clínica, com menos esperas e não sobrecarregando os serviços de urgência”, disse Elsa Baião à agência Lusa.

A ULS Oeste vai aderir ao projeto “Ligue Antes, Salve Vidas”, da Direção Executiva do Serviço Nacional de Saúde, através do qual as urgências hospitalares passam a receber apenas doentes referenciados pela Linha SNS24.

Deixam, por isso, de receber doentes a quem até aqui era atribuída uma pulseira verde ou azul (menos graves), como sejam infeções respiratórias ligeiras, infeções urinárias ou gripes.

“São situações que não exigem uma urgência e que podem ter o atendimento médico necessário sem longas horas de espera e sem se sujeitarem a estar num ambiente naturalmente contaminado, como uma urgência hospitalar”, frisou a presidente do concelho de administração da ULS Oeste.

Antes de se deslocarem à urgência, os cidadãos terão de contactar a Linha SNS24, através da qual o doente é encaminhado para uma urgência hospitalar ou para os cuidados primários, consoante a avaliação da sua situação clínica.

As consultas nos centros de saúde terão de ser realizadas até 48 horas depois do telefonema para a Linha SNS24.

São excluídos destes critérios os doentes acamados, com patologias clínicas com mais de 70 anos ou menos de um ano de idade.

“Ninguém vai barrar a entrada nas urgências, vamos tentar encontrar uma solução que seja mais adequada para a situação clínica de cada doente, ou seja, as pessoas podem entrar na mesma se tiverem critério hospitalar ou se não houver solução nos cuidados primários naquele dia ou no dia seguinte”, assegurou a gestora hospitalar.

Nas urgências de Torres Vedras e Caldas da Rainha, os doentes a quem são atribuídas pulseiras verdes e azuis (menos graves) correspondem a 30 a 35% do total de doentes atendidos na urgência de adultos e de 70% na urgência pediátrica.

Elsa Baião referiu que “não está definida uma meta concreta de redução” dos doentes com pulseira azul e verde nas urgências hospitalares: “temos que ir avaliando aos poucos e também de acordo com a nossa capacidade de resposta”.

A administradora da ULS admitiu existirem “grandes dificuldades” relacionadas com a falta de médicos, com 46% dos utentes dos centros de saúde da região sem médico de família atribuído.

Para implementar o projeto, “estão previstas mais horas de trabalho de médicos de clínica geral, de medicina geral familiar”, através de horas extraordinárias ou contratação de horas a médicos prestadores de serviços para consultas presenciais ou teleconsultas.

“Claro que pode haver aqui um crescimento de custos nesta vertente dos cuidados primários, mas isto vai implicar uma diminuição de encargos e, acima de tudo, de sobrecarga de trabalho nas urgências hospitalares, o que é muito positivo”, esclareceu.

A Unidade Local de Saúde do Oeste agrega, desde o início deste ano, o Centro Hospitalar do Oeste (que inclui os hospitais das Caldas da Rainha e Peniche, no distrito de Leiria, e de Torres Vedras, no distrito de Lisboa), o Agrupamento de Centros de Saúde do Oeste Norte e o Agrupamento de Centros de Saúde do Oeste Sul.

No conjunto integra os concelhos de Caldas da Rainha, Óbidos, Bombarral e Peniche, no distrito de Leiria, e de Lourinhã, Cadaval, Torres Vedras e Sobral Monte Agraço, no distrito de Lisboa, com uma população de 235 mil habitantes.

Association of Tennis Professionals

For other uses, see ATP (disambiguation).

The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) is the governing body of the men’s professional tennis circuits – the ATP Tour, the ATP Challenger Tour and the ATP Champions Tour.

It was formed in September 1972 by Donald Dell, Jack Kramer, and Cliff Drysdale to protect the interests of professional tennis players, and Drysdale became the first President. Since 1990, the association has organized the ATP Tour, the worldwide tennis tour for men and linked the title of the tour with the organization’s name. It is the governing body of men’s professional tennis. In 1990 the organization was called the ATP Tour, which was renamed in 2001 as just ATP and the tour being called ATP Tour. In 2009 the name of the tour was changed again and was known as the ATP World Tour, but changed again to the ATP Tour by 2019.[1] It is an evolution of the tour competitions previously known as Grand Prix tennis tournaments and World Championship Tennis (WCT).

The ATP’s global headquarters are in London. ATP Americas is based in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida; ATP Europe is headquartered in Monaco; and ATP International, which covers Africa, Asia and Australasia, is based in Sydney, Australia.

Early history

See also: Grand Prix tennis circuit and World Championship Tennis

Started in 1972 by Jack Kramer, Donald Dell, and Cliff Drysdale, it was first managed by Jack Kramer, as Executive Director, and Cliff Drysdale, as President. Jim McManus was a founding member.[2] Kramer created the professional players’ rankings system, which started the following year and is still in use. From 1974 to 1989, the men’s circuit was administered by a sub-committee called the Men’s International Professional Tennis Council (MIPTC). It was made up of representatives of the International Tennis Federation (ITF), the ATP, and tournament directors from around the world. The ATP successfully requested that the MIPTC introduce a drug testing rule, making tennis the first professional sport to institute a drug-testing program.

1973 Wimbledon boycott

In May 1973 Nikola Pilić, Yugoslavia’s number one tennis player, was suspended by his national lawn tennis association, who claimed he had refused to play in a Davis Cup tie for his country earlier that month.[3] The initial suspension of nine months, supported by the International Lawn Tennis Federation (ILTF), was later reduced by the ILTF to one month which meant that Pilic would not be allowed to play at Wimbledon.[4]

In response the ATP threatened a boycott, stating that if Pilić was not allowed to compete none should. After last-ditch attempts at a compromise failed the ATP voted in favor of a boycott and as a result 81 of the top players, including reigning champion Stan Smith and 13 of the 16 men’s seeds, did not compete at the 1973 Wimbledon Championships.[5][6] Three ATP players, Ilie Năstase, Roger Taylor and Ray Keldie defied the boycott and were fined by the ATP’s disciplinary committee.[4]

1988 breakaway

But the tour was still run by the tournament directors and the ITF. The limited player representation and influence within the Men’s International Professional Tennis Council (MIPTC) as well as dissatisfaction with the way the sport was managed and marketed culminated in a player mutiny in 1988 led by active tennis pros including then world Number 1 ranked Mats Wilander which changed the entire structure of the tour.[7]

ATP Tour

Main article: ATP Tour

CEO Hamilton Jordan is credited with the “Parking Lot Press Conference” on 26 August 1988 during which the ATP announced their withdrawal from the MIPTC (then called the MTC) and the creation of their own tour from 1990 onwards.[2][8][9][10] This re-organisation also ended a lawsuit with Volvo and Donald Dell.[11] On 19 January 1989 the ATP published the calendar for the inaugural 1990 season.[12]

By 1991, the men had their first television package to broadcast 19 tournaments.[2] Coming online with their first website in 1995, this was followed by a multi-year agreement with Mercedes-Benz. Lawsuits in 2008, around virtually the same issues, resulted in a restructured tour.[13]

2009 changes

In 2009, ATP introduced a new tour structure called ATP World Tour consisting of ATP World Tour Masters 1000, ATP World Tour 500, and ATP World Tour 250 tier tournaments.[14][15] Broadly speaking, the Tennis Masters Series tournaments became the new Masters 1000 level and ATP International Series Gold and ATP International Series events became ATP 500 level and 250 level events respectively.

The Masters 1000 tournaments are Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome, Toronto/Montreal, Cincinnati, Shanghai and Paris. The end-of-year event, the ATP Finals, moved from Shanghai to London. Hamburg has been displaced by the new clay court event at Madrid, which is a new combined men’s and women’s tournament. In 2011, Rome and Cincinnati also became combined tournaments. Severe sanctions are placed on top players skipping the Masters 1000 series events, unless medical proof is presented.

Plans to eliminate Monte Carlo and Hamburg as Masters Series events led to controversy and protests from players as well as organisers. Hamburg and Monte Carlo filed lawsuits against the ATP,[16] and as a concession it was decided that Monte Carlo would remain a Masters 1000 level event, with more prize money and 1000 ranking points, but it would no longer be a compulsory tournament for top-ranked players. Monte Carlo later dropped its suit. Hamburg was “reserved” to become a 500 level event in the summer.[17] Hamburg did not accept this concession, but later lost its suit.[18]

The 500 level tournaments are Rotterdam, Dubai, Rio, Acapulco, Barcelona, Aegon Championships (Queens Club, London), Halle (Gerry Weber Open), Hamburg, Washington, Beijing, Tokyo, Basel and Vienna.

The ATP & ITF have declared that Davis Cup World Group and World Group Playoffs award a total of up to 500 points. Players accumulate points over the four rounds and the playoffs and these are counted as one of a player’s four best results from the 500 level events. An additional 125 points are given to a player who wins all 8 live rubbers and wins the Davis Cup.[19]

ATP Tour tournaments

The ATP Tour comprises ATP Masters 1000, ATP 500, and ATP 250. The ATP also oversees the ATP Challenger Tour, a level below the ATP Tour, and the ATP Champions Tour for seniors. Grand Slam tournaments, a small portion of the Olympic tennis tournament, the Davis Cup, the Hopman Cup and the introductory level Futures tournaments do not fall under the auspices of the ATP, but are overseen by the ITF instead and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for the Olympics. In these events, however, ATP ranking points are awarded, with the exception of the Olympics and Hopman Cup. The four-week ITF Satellite tournaments were discontinued in 2007.

Players and doubles teams with the most ranking points (collected during the calendar year) play in the season-ending ATP Finals, which, from 2000 to 2008, was run jointly with the International Tennis Federation (ITF). The details of the professional tennis tour are:

Event Number Total prize money (USD) Winner’s ranking points Governing body Grand Slam 4 See individual articles 2,000 ITF ATP Finals 1 4,450,000 1,100–1,500 ATP (2009–present) ATP Tour Masters 1000 9 2,450,000 to 3,645,000 1000 ATP ATP Tour 500 13 755,000 to 2,100,000 500 ATP ATP Tour 250 40 416,000 to 1,024,000 250 ATP ATP Challenger Tour 178 35,000 to 168,000 80 to 125 ATP ITF Men’s Circuit 534 15,000 and 25,000 10 to 20 ITF Olympics 1 See individual articles 0 IOC

ATP Rankings

Main article: ATP Rankings

ATP publishes weekly rankings of professional players: ATP Rankings (commonly known as the ‘world rankings’), a 52-week rolling ranking, and the ATP Race to London, a year to date ranking.[20] All ATP players also have a Universal Tennis Rating, based on head-to-head results.

The ATP Rankings is used for determining qualification for entry and seeding in all tournaments for both singles and doubles. Within the ATP Rankings period consisting of the past year, points are accumulated, with the exception of those for the ATP Finals, whose points are dropped following the last ATP event of the year. The player with the most points by the season’s end is the world No. 1 of the year.

The ATP Rankings Race To London is a calendar-year indicator of what the Emirates ATP Rankings will be on the Monday after the end of the regular season. Players finishing in the top eight of the Emirates ATP Rankings following the Paris Masters will qualify for the ATP Finals.

At the start of the 2009 season, all accumulated ranking points were doubled to bring them in line with the new tournament ranking system.
