LIVE Updated 3h ago


AirAsia confirms debris located in Java sea comes
from the AirAsia Airbus A320 which went missing on
 Sunday carrying 162 passengers, with more than 40 bodies recovered.

It’s nearly 8.30pm in Surabaya, and all search efforts for today are now 
over, so we’re ending this live blog. Here’s
  our latest story on what happened today, by my colleagues Jonathan Kaiman
,Paul Farrell and Michael Safi:


Teams searching for AirAsia flight QZ8501 have begun recovering dozens of 
bodies from the Java Sea, as Indonesian officials confirmed that scattered debris
 found nearby came from the plane.

A major search and rescue effort involving at least 30 ships and 15 aircraft
 from nine countries has been looking for the aircraft since it vanished
 early on Sunday morning while carrying 162 people from Surabaya, Indonesia,
 to Singapore. The findings mark a major breakthrough on the operation’s third day.

The flight’s carrier, AirAsia Indonesia, an affiliate of the Malaysian budget carrier
AirAsia, confirmed in a statement posted on Facebookthat the debris belonged to
 the missing flight.

“I am absolutely devastated,” AirAsia’s chief executive, Tony Fernandes, said,
according to the statement. “This is a very difficult moment for all of us at 
AirAsia as we await further developments of the search and rescue operations
 but our first priority now is the wellbeing of the family members of those on 
board QZ8501.”

The Indonesian television station TvOne reportedly broadcast images of a
floating body, then apologised for showing the pictures after relatives of
passengers in Surabaya saw the images on television and burst into tears.

AFP reported that at least two relatives collapsed and had to be carried out
 on stretchers. “My heart will be totally crushed if it’s true. I will lose a son,”
 60-year-old Dwijanto told the news agency.

The Indonesian president, Joko Widodo, arrived in Surabaya after nightfall
 to meet the families.

Stuck On You By Lionel Richie Lyrics

Desejo a você: Um feliz natal... 365 dias de felicidade;
52 semanas de saúde e prosperidade; 12 meses de amor 
e carinho; 8760 horas de paz e harmonia; Que neste novo
 ano você tenha 2015 motivos para sorrir.




Saving all my love for you by Whitney Houston with lyrics and nice pics





FAÇA COMO A AGUIA

Quando as tempestades da vida Surgem escuras à minha frente, 
Me recordo de maravilhosas palavras Que uma vez eu li.
 E digo a mim mesmo: Quando pairarem nuvens ameaçadoras, 
Não dobre suas asas E não fuja para o abrigo. Mas, faça como
 a águia, Abra largamente as suas asas E decole para bem alto,
 Acima dos problemas que a vida traz. Pois a águia sabe
 Que quanto mais alto voar, Mais tranqüilos e mais brilhantes 
Tornam-se os céus. E não há nada na vida Que Deus nos peça
 para carregar Que nós não possamos levar planando
 Com as asas da oração. E ao olhar para trás Verá que a
 tempestade passou, Você encontrará novas forças E ganhará coragem também.

Foreigner-I want to know what love is-lyrics



Uma reflexão


Para Isso Fomos Feitos

Vinicius de Moraes

Para isso fomos feitos: Para lembrar e ser lembrados Para chorar e
 fazer chorar Para enterrar os nossos mortos Por isso temos braços 
longos para os adeuses Mãos para colher o que foi dado Dedos para
 cavar a terra. Assim será nossa vida: Uma tarde sempre a esquecer
 Uma estrela a se apagar na treva Um caminho entre dois túmulos
 Por isso precisamos velar Falar baixo, pisar leve, ver A noite
 dormir em silêncio. Não há muito o que dizer: Uma canção sobre
 um berço Um verso, talvez de amor Uma prece por quem se vai
 Mas que essa hora não esqueça E por ela os nossos corações 
Se deixem, graves e simples. Pois para isso fomos feitos:
 Para a esperança no milagre Para a participação da poesia
 Para ver a face da morte De repente nunca mais esperaremos...
 Hoje a noite é jovem; da morte, apenas Nascemos, imensamente


Diplomatic relations restored US-Cuba


OUR CONGRATULATIONS
 PRESIDENTS

and POPE Pope Francisco
A historical fact for humanity

(Reuters) - The United States and Cuba agreed on Wednesday
 to restore diplomatic ties that Washington severed more than
 50 years ago, and President Barack Obama called for an end t
o the long economic embargo against its old Cold War enemy.
After 18 months of secret talks, Obama and Cuban
 President Raul Castro agreed in a phone call on Tuesday
 on a breakthrough prisoner exchange, the opening of embassies
in each other's countries, and an easing of some restrictions on commerce.
The two leaders made the announcement in simultaneous
televised speeches. The Vatican and Canada facilitated the deal.
Obama's call for an end to the economic embargo drew resistance
 from Republicans who will control both houses of Congress
 from January and who oppose normal relations with the 
communist-run island.
Obama said he was ending what he called a rigid and outdated
 policy of isolating Cuba that had failed to achieve change on the island.
His administration's policy shift includes an opening to more commerce
 in some areas, allowing use of U.S. credit and debit cards, increasing
 the amount of money that can be sent to Cubans and allowing
 export of telecommunications devices and services.
RESTRICTIONS REMAIN
Travel restrictions that make it hard for most Americans to visit will 
be eased, but the door will not yet be open for broad U.S. tourism on
 the Caribbean island.
His announcement also will not end the U.S. trade embargo that has
 been in force for more than 50 years. That is codified in legislation
 and needs congressional approval. Obama said he would seek that
 approval but will likely face a struggle.
Obama said the opening was made possible by Havana's release of
 American Alan Gross, 65, who had been imprisoned in Cubafor five years.
 Gross' case had been a major obstacle to improving relations.
Cuba is also releasing an intelligence agent who spied for the United
 States and was held for nearly 20 years, and the United States in
 return freed three Cuban intelligence agents held in the United States.
