According

to a report on Spanish website El Confidencial, Britain’s BT Group could offer at least €6 billion to Spanish peer Telefonica on top of a 20 per cent stake in its share capital for the O2 mobile network. Including the €6 billion, the total value of the deal would be around €14 billion, less than the £18 billion Telefonica paid to buy O2 in 2005. Initially BT and Telefonica declined to comment on

the

speculation,

however

executive officer Stephane Richard said last week that the current ownership model, w h e r e Orange a n d Deutsche Te l e c o m own half the business each, was “unsustainable”.

Telefonica have now spoken about the rumours, although BT still have made no comment. “Telefonica states that although conversations with British Telecom are taking place, these are at a highly preliminary stage and there can be no certainty that any transaction may occur with such company,” said the statement. “A further announcement will be made if and when appropriate.” BT confirmed the talks and said it had been approached by O2 and another operator about acquiring their mobile business. Orange chief

The deal would give Telefonica a foothold in the fixed-line, broadband and TV markets while BT, which recently signed an MVNO agreement with EE, would acquire a mobile customer base of more than 24 million. BT, which also owns a slice of 4G spectrum, is expected to launch its consumer mobile offering in the first half of next year. It will be the first time it has offered the service since selling BT Cellnet to Telefonica in 2005 in a deal with £18 billion. O2 exited the fixed-line and broadband market in May 2013 through the sale of its 500,000 strong cus-

tomer base to Sky for £200 million. However, since then EE has added a set-top box service to its mobile, fixed-line and broadband offering and Vodafone announced earlier this month it was re-entering the consumer broadband market it left in 2011. Virgin Media also offers TV, broadband, fixed-line and mobile services to its customer base. That leaves O2 and Three as the only two mobile operators who currently focus solely on their core business. There has been no comment from BT or O2 on the matter with a spokesperson for the mobile operator saying they “do not comment on rumour or speculation”.

paternity leave extension rejected

The Government has decided against extending paid paternity leave from two weeks to four, because of a lack of funds. The change was proposed in a private members bill in August by Lourdes Ciuro, an MP for Catalunya’s CiU separatist party, but was rejected by the Minister for Health, Social Services and Equality, Ana Mato. Although Mato said it would cost the state €245 million a year, Ciuro countered that the money could be sourced from

unclaimed maternity and paternity benefits from 2013 while pointing out that just 0,057% of the social security budget would pay for the extension. Mato said: “The government has made the utmost effort over the last three years to overcome the terrible economic situation that we find ourselves in. Men receive just 15 days paid leave in Spain while women can take up to 112, which makes Spain 8th in the EU paternity rankings.

neW police station needed For BenidorM

An announcement was made at the meeting of the Madrid’s governments sub delegate to Alicante Alberto Martinez, the provincial Police Commissioner Jose Javier Cuasante and Benidorm’s Mayor Agustin Navarro, that a new National Police Headquarters is needed in Benidorm. The location will be decided upon in the next few days by the Ministry of the Interior. The Town Hall has suggested

three different municipal land plots close to the Palacio de Justicia Law Courts. Navarro said “as happens with all administrations there is an allocation for nonspecific projects, that could be used if the government is willing”. He went on the say “having waited so long for the police station, the important thing is to do things properly. If there are no 2015 funds, it will have to be in 2016 but now that things are all tied up it won’t be a problem”.

survey reveals sexual activities at airports Passengers travelling to Spanish Airports including Alicante Airport, completed JetCost surveys online, 32% were ecstatic at the thought of going on holiday, 10% revealed that they had sexual relations whilst at the airport, VIP lounge toilets being favourite place, 27% found

it more exciting at the thought of being caught, which apparently happened 12% of the time. Passengers generally get to the airport 4 hours early to enjoy the various facilities, shopping, eating, and drinking.

WaYne PUtS on another biG ShoW More than 100 of the local children of EMAUS came along on Saturday 22nd to the Showboat in Benidorm for their annual Christmas event something special for the children that is probably the best day of the year and that they can look forward to all year. The children in care at EMAUS have been abandoned or orphaned and others that are handicapped or taken away from their parents for protection. In all cases the circumstances are very sad and most of us do not see how much these children have to rely on charity and on the very kind careers who work voluntarily in most cases. Christmas is a time for everyone to enjoy and help each other, the huge efforts from Wayne and his team to make this day special for the children are really amazing. The fund raising started weeks ago with many local bars and businesses collecting gifts and donations. Each child receives a Christmas stocking filled with gifts as well as 10€ in a card. The day at the Showboat is Wayne's favourite day of the year and, together with his helpers the staff of the showboat, he really does put on a show and a wonderful Christmas lunch for everyone. General Manager Javi who is Father Christmas, hands out the Christmas Stockings and the staff entertain the children for the afternoon. Many of the fund raisers were present, as well as the founder of EMAUS together with the directors and management. I was able to talk to most of them, as well as keeping Wayne away from his duties as a Christmas Tree, and Paul (the owner of Foleys bar in the Rincon) who were both able to spend the time to explain to me how they had been able once again to provide the funds to make such a difference to the lives of the children. Paul explained how the holidaymakers and residents have donated money and gifts. Paul has been working with Wayne organising and collecting from all of the wonderful

fundraisers. Wayne also explained how they have managed to buy each home a turkey, to be delivered for Christmas, and also the team has 900€ left to pay towards the purchase of much needed new bedding items for each child. The fundraising will continue until the funds are enough to buy all of the bedding that is needed. Paul has organised another fund raising event for this coming week - a charity golf day with the Benidorm Golf Society that takes place at the Villaitana Golf resort, where people can enjoy the day with events including a raffle and nearest the pin, to help raise much needed money for the bedding. There are many other kind people who have helped and these people know who they are and how much they are appreciated by all of the staff at EMAUS and all of the organisers of the charity. I had the pleasure of meeting Val, one of the many helpers. Val who is famous for her baking skills had the task of providing over 100 cup cakes for the Children's Christmas party. The question is to our readers is: how could you help to raise the much needed money for the new bedding fund? If you could help by making a small donation or perhaps a fund raising event even a raffle for Christmas! Every little helps and Wayne, Paul and the other many fund raisers would love to hear from you if you could help. Please contact them directly either by phone or email Elisabeth 649428666 elisabeth@emausong.es. For many years the Fab Four fund raisers Anne, Pam, Tad (owner of the Yorkshire Pride Pubs) and Stewie (owner from the Geordie Bar Tat) have been the hub of

the fund raising and have given up an amazing amount of their time to organise so much for the local Children's homes. The event held earlier this year raised a staggering €11,500.00, although the massive efforts and results have been truly amazing the Fab Four can only do so much between them. The additional fund raising efforts from the team centred around Wayne and Paul have made such a difference and with more and more help the charity can actually keep the children supplied with all of the essential items, as well as making the extra difference for special events such as this years Christmas party. The Weekly Buzz newspaper would also like to offer our help and will be organising a Christmas Raffle at our news desk at the Indoor Market aisle 6. The Fab Four, Anne, Pam, Tad & Stewie have joined up with us at the Weekly Buzz to help rally around for the donation of raffle prizes and also with the sale of the tickets. The raffle will be held on Friday 19th December at 1pm - everyone who attends will receive a winter chocolate muffin and a glass of mulled wine. Donations for the raffle are very much needed, so please, if you can come along and donate a prize (large or small) any type of Christmas gifts, food or drink items are welcomed so we can make up a hamper. In fact anything at all that can be raffled. So with many thanks in advance for your continued help and support, we hope to see you very soon at the Weekly Buzz news desk in the Indoor Market, Benidorm.

BeneFiT FraUD caLLs DoUBLe, THanks To HonesT BriTs

Calls to the benefit fraud hotline in Spain have doubled since the British Government launched a major advertising campaign during the last week of October to encourage the public to call the hotline if they suspect benefit fraud, and to urge claimants to report changes in their circumstances.

The Department for Work and Pensions’ (DWP) benefit fraud hotline in Spain – 900 55 44 40 – has seen a surge in vital tip-offs that fraud investigators are now pursuing to verify if people are claiming benefits illegally. Awareness of the campaign and associated media coverage among expatriates in Spain, and their willingness to call the hotline, is helping investigators to reduce the waste of honest taxpayers’ money on fraudsters. Work and Pensions Minister Mark Harper said: “Hard working taxpayers have had enough of fraudsters taking money which is meant for genuine claimants, which is why we’re seeing so many people taking action by calling the hotline. We know it’s a small minority who commit benefit fraud but I would urge anyone who has suspicions to call the free and confidential number or

report them anonymously online.”

Worldwide, someone is reported to benefit fraud hotlines every minute of every working day on average, and in the last year alone nearly 60,000 fraud investigations have been launched. The Government has recovered nearly one billion pounds of wrongly paid benefits in the last year, and has introduced a raft of measures to crack down on people who cheat the system - both abroad and in the UK – including: • Tough new rules so that 40% of individuals’ benefits can be taken to repay stolen cash - on top of any fine or custodial sentence handed out by the courts; • Increased penalties from £2,000 to £5,000, without taking a fraudster to court; • A new £50 civil penalty for claimants who negligently give incorrect information on their claims or fail to report a change in circumstances which results in overpayments. If you suspect a benefit cheat, call the confidential hotline on 900 55 44 40 - open from 8am to 4pm every weekday in Spain - or report them online at www.dwp.gov.uk/benefit-thieves-spain.

a winTer VirUs sweePs THe cosTa BLanca Reports from local health centres and clinics show an increasing number of adults and children experiencing very unpleasant flu-like symptoms with the additional effects of stomach cramps and diarrhoea. The virus is prolific throughout the Costa Blanca and has spread very fast. It is likely to start amongst school pupils and then spread back to their homes and families. This type of virus can make you

very ill and normally takes between a few days, and up to a week to recover. Health workers said that it is common for this type of virus to appear one month after the school term starts and gradually spread, before becoming a widespread problem, with much higher reported numbers all across the region. It is recommended that frequent hand washing and extra attention to kitchen cleanliness and food preparation areas is observed.

How Many PHarMacies?

If you thought there was enough Pharmacies around, then how about the latest news from the Valencia Region of another 62 new Pharmacies due to open, of which 26 will be in the province of Alicante. The new stores will create an additional 120 jobs. The Minister of Health said that the plans would allow the government to offer better and more localised pharmaceutical care to the citizens of the region. This plan is in line with the

increase of the population and needs of the community..

CABLE CArs fOr BENIDOrM?

A 21 million euro tourist attraction has been proposed for a Cable Car. It is set to take people up to enjoy the spectacular views across the coast line with the operating station planned to be at La Cruz Punta Llisera (also known as The Cross). The initiative has been headed by a Russian businessman who is seeking other investors to join the funding. The

talks between the investors and the Mayor, Agustin Navarro, have taken place who is said to be impressed with the plans and project idea. Also the Mayor has said that the impact to the local environment would be minimal and the benefits to the city would be enormous. If the plans and funds are approved then construction works could start as early as next year.

NEW LOGO fOr BENIDOrM?

Last week the city of Benidorm, launched a competition for a new logo to represent the City and the tourist department "Visit Benidorm Foundation". The competition has been launched online thereby, reaching an international audience and it can be entered by anybody anywhere around the globe!

The brief is to redefine the image of the city to focus on Benidorm as a beach destination with the idea being 'Chic and Cheap'. Miss Leire Bilbao, manager of the foundation, said that they are committed to a new phase to strengthen the character of the city as a leader of Spanish tourism. The foundation has received huge criticism from the designers association of Valencia since the launch. A spokesperson stated "the competition undermines the profession of designers, and that the correct procedure to undertake is to pay a selected

group of professional designers who would then submit the proposals according to the specifications laid out”. Miss Bilbao speaking on behalf of the tourism foundation, said that they understood the comments made but did not agree, the worldwide competition launch via the web gives it an international dimension. The competition is already underway and all entries must be recieved before the end of February 2015. The winning designer will take home €3,000, there will be two runner up prizes of €600 and final category for a new slogan, with a prize of €1,500.

The councillor, José Vicente Llobel, has explained that the Town Council held several meetings with representatives from the Regional Government and the Government of Alicante, given that the road falls within their competence, aiming to find a solution, as during the summer months this road endures high volumes of traffic, as does the one in the area surrounding the Youth Hostel. Finally, three latest generation traffic lights have been installed to regulate the traffic at the three points, in order to "improve the accessibility and safety of the pedestrians", highlighted the councillor. It is worth noting that this action is in addition to that already carried out at the beginning of summer, when the

Regional Government performed a series of improvements to the crossroads of the same road, where a pedestrian crossing and a pavement were installed for the purpose of improving pedestrian safety.

TEuLADA Town CounCIL REDuCES TAxES FoR 2015 The Mayor of Teulada, Antoni Joan Bertomeu and the Tax councillor, Antonio Reig, have explained that the Town Council will reduce the municipal taxes (IBI, Vehicles, IAE and the occupancy of public space levy) for the 2015 budgetary year after having adhered to the Adjustment Plan and reduced the debt by 5 million

Euros over the past few years. The first modification is in relation to the PROPERTY TAX (IBI), for which the rate has been reduced by 12.4%, from the current 0.78 to 0.68 per cent, which represents a much lower property tax than those living in neighbouring towns.

bars in the area of the Mediterranean tour have had a meeting with the mayors of the local area, Yolanda Gallardo, Sebastián Gómez, Vicent Sanz, and Mayor, Pedro Barber, with regard to the implementation of the new layout of the cycleway. "In this second phase of meetings with businessmen in the area, explained Vicent Sanz, we have presented the proposal that presents costs for your bike do not cross between the terraces of the bars and restaurants, as it is the case at present." "This solution is to locate the bike path up the side walk, with which the terraces will again be unified, avoiding the crossing of the waiters or customers of them by rail bike to gain entry to the restaurant or the bar",

CHINA'S FAkE EvOqUE SpArkS FUry At first glance, the new car unveiled at a motor show appeared to be an updated model of the Range Rover Evoque. With its signature body shape, lights and radiator grille and silver logo across the front edge of its bonnet, it was the spitting image of the British bestseller.

But drivers looking for a fashionable car at a bargain price might want to wait for safety inspection results. LandWind’s earlier CV9 people-carrier scored just two stars out of five in European crash tests in 2010.

But in fact, it was a brazen copy of the hugely popular UKdesigned ‘baby’ off-roader – and at a fraction of the price. Little-known Chinese carmaker LandWind launched its X7 at the Guangzhou motor show in China last week, and like all good fakes it is a remarkably close approximation of the real thing, that goes for a lot less money. In this case, the Range Rover Evoque, sells for around 40,000 pounds, while the Chinese version will retail for a meager 14,000 quid. The British manufacturer has just opened its first car factory in China in a venture with local firm Chery. Jaguar Land Rover chief executive Dr Ralf Speth told Autocar magazine: “The fact that this kind of copying is ongoing in China is very disappointing. The intellectual property (IP) is owned by Jaguar Land Rover and if you break that IP then you are in breach of international regulations.”

The real Range Rover Evoque.

Fake Evoque: the LandWind X7.

HOUSING GROWTH SPEEDS HOW CAN YOU FINANCE A PROPERTY IN SPAIN? SPAINS ECONOMY Real estate and the growth of the construction industry are the main factors in the continued efforts to stabilise Spain's economy for the coming year. Due to the improvement in financing, the increase of mortgage offers and a return of foreign investment, the economy for 2015 should continue to see stable growth, likely to be more than the 2% predicted by the Spanish government.

seen a record number of completions during the third quarter (July, August and September) ~ and finally the news from Denmark's Saxo Bank, who are of the opinion that the property market in Spain has bottomed out and is at its lowest point.

According to a recent report from Arcano (independent financial advisors), the reason for the increase and positive outlook is the fact that there is a reactivation of the construction of new homes. It said that Spain will see property prices increase and then stabilise during 2015. The real estate sector will once again be leading the Spanish economy. The report also shows a flow of new credit from banks and other lenders for small and medium size businesses, not just individuals. Home sales in Spain have

There are a variety of ways that you can pay for a property in Spain. Aside from paying cash, you can fund a property through a variety of loan options. Which option you choose is something you should consider before you start to look for a property or select an estate agent to assist you in your purchase. Also, it is wise to consider your finances and have any mortgage you may have applied for ready in principle. You may consider either a UK mortgage or search for one from a Spanish mortgage broker. In Spain, your options for home loans, particularly as a non-resident owner, are unlikely to be as extensive as those on offer if buying in the UK, or wherever your native country is. Spanish banks have been hit harder by the financial crisis of recent years than banks in the UK other parts of the world, and as a result lending conditions have become more stringent, although interest rates remain low. If you decide to buy a repossessed property, either a new-build that a developer defaulted on or a property formerly owned privately, you are likely to be offered very attractive finance options by the bank selling it.

Remember, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to transfer the bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finance terms to another property not owned by that bank. Buying a bank repossession this way will suit some buyers, typically investors, but be careful you are fully aware of the terms of the finance and be certain you will be able to keep up repayments. Of course, your monthly mortgage repayment is another important figure to consider when looking at the cost of maintaining your property. Choosing the wrong mortgage could lead to difficulties and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important not to stretch yourself financially. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be put in touch with a recommended overseas mortgage broker.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY CERTIFICATES You may not be aware that from 1st June 2013, a new Energy Efficiency Law for properties came into force. This now means that any properties sold or rented after this date will be required to have a Certificate confirming the energy efficiency of the home. This Certificate is valid for 10 years. This procedure is already in force in the UK and many other European Countries and the European Parliament is now insisting that Spain conforms. It is now a legal requirement for all properties sold or rented and indeed applies to holiday rental properties that have rentals of 16 weeks per year or more.

The Certificate must be issued by a Certified Technician or Architect who will visit the property and test the heating, refrigeration, hot water and lighting to ascertain the amount of energy consumed when these items are used. In addition, the Co2 emissions of a home must also be listed. There is no obligation for any Owner to make alterations or upgrades to the property but the law does state that the Architect must advise an Owner how the grading may be raised. PMR can help you arrange for your Certificate to be done without delay. Contact Danielle in our Alfaz office who will be pleased to answer any questions you may have and advise you on the procedure to obtain the paperwork you require including registration of the Certificate with the Generalitat. Danielle can be contacted from 10am to 6pm on 966 260 877 or by email at info@pmrspain.com PMR – “Your One Stop Shop”

FINdING ThE RIGhT homE IN SpAIN

The hardest part of buying a home in Spain is probably choosing the property that had the best physical features that have been examined in detail. Taking your time when looking around so you can compare the different possibilities that the market has to offer. Examine the physical features of the property in detail to make sure that there are no problems that would later come to light. Estate agents make up an important factor when finding the right home because the agent should provide you with the different possibilities that suit your budget and requirements.

Examine the property's physical features, take time to look over the property yourself. Check the condition of its installed equipment and it's general upkeep, the amount of light it gets, the views and the neighbourhood. Taking notice of the noise levels day and night and meeting the neighbours. If anything seems wrong then do not hesitate to bring this to the attention of the Estate Agent and to hear their explanations and then make a decision to employ a professional such as an architect or surveyor to make a report on your

behalf. Installed equipment should have service records and maintenance schedules, also taking copies of the utility bills so that you can examine the usual costs and calculate the total running costs of the property.

For new build property the seller should provide you with the general plans, floor space and the general description. Together with the description of the services (power, water, gas, heating systems, warrantee and fire safety. The details of the materials used in the build should also be made available with full information of the insulation of sound and heat. If the property is a flat or as part of a community area the annual costs should be declared as well as the details of the community association agreement.

“On our list of places to go regularly” Reviewed 15 April 2014 Absolutely stunned. This is a new restaurant in Albir (situated where Biblos used to be) and we decided to give it a try. The best chipirones I have ever tasted and the pork was tender and juicy. The sauces were to die for and were not as heavy as they are in some places. The service was good.

“Best Sunday Roast in Town” Reviewed 26 August 2014 I was told about this Restaurant and had dismissed it. What a mistake. The restaurant is situated half way up a hill with a beautiful view of the bay and Peacock Island. It is a small family restaurant and booking is sometimes necessary. My wife and I had the Chicken Sunday Roast. What a lovely surprise when the dinner came out and the Chicken had been sliced off a chicken as opposed to pre sliced chicken. The veg was beautiful, with roast Parsnips, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Broccoli and Peas. Mashed potatoes along with roast potatoes and your own gravy pot. A beautiful meal priced at just €7.50. Superb value. Needless to say we cleared our plates and finished off with apple pie and custard. There are many other dishes on the menu which I hope to sample in the near future. Lovely.

Altea Altea is an old fishing village which has expanded to become a pleasant resort on the Costa Blanca.

The hill-top town of Altea has lovely whitewashed houses and is full of the palm trees and bougainvillea that make these Spanish towns so attractive. The town is relatively unspoilt considering the tourist development that has gone on around it. The church is particularly attractive with its blue dome. Down below by the pebbled beach is the tourist resort of Altea, a mixture of tourist apartments and fisherman's cottages. Whilst not a sandy beach the coastline here is attractive and the historic town above is an added treat. The most beautiful building in Altea is its church, the Nuestra Senora del Consuelo (Our Lady of Sorrow) with a stunning blue and white domed roof. The old town is a maze of narrow, cobbled streets, often with a glimpse of the bright blue sea of the harbour below. There are plenty of bars and restaurants along the sea-front but make sure you dine in the old

town at least once during your visit. In the evening the outdoor cafes fill up, the air is warm, there is a view of the sea below and eating al-fresco is very pleasant. Most of the action takes place down in the harbour area. Here you will find lots of restaurants and bars and Altea's beaches. The beaches are pebbly rather than sandy but offer a good range of water sports. The coastline is very attractive as there are plenty of nice rocky coves to explore.

If you have the chance to visit during the festival of San Lorenzo in mid August you will be able to see a spectacular firework display with fireworks being set off from the sea as well as from land. The display is known as the Castell de l'Olla and is developing an international reputation. Are you a regular visitor or resident living in the Benidorm and surrounding areas that has not yet visited Altea? If not then plan your day out now, you can get there by bus for only 1.50â&#x201A;Ź! Why not send us your pictures, maybe we will publish them in a later edition! email us buzz@vistasotablanca.com

Altea is dominated by it's beautiful land mark church located on top of a steep hill surrounded by quaint "Old Town" houses in very narrow streets. Many of these houses have been changed into restaurants and bar cafes. In it's early tourist days in the early 1960,s attracted many artists, musicians, writers and craft craftsmen leading to Altea having a Bohemian atmosphere .

deadly enterovirus d68 Found in norway

Cases of the potentially deadly enterovirus d68 has been found in norway, it was revealed on tuesday. The virus, which can cause paralysis and is without cure, and there is no cure, has been found in a few cases affecting Norwegians, informed the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (Nasjonalt Folkehelseinstitutt - FHI).

Senior physician of the Division of Infectious Disease Control at FHI, Trude Arnesen, said to NTB: "Enteroviruses are spread from excrement via hands to food, and also by coughing. Good hand and coughing hygiene will reduce the chance of infection.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not a Polio virus and Norway is still free of Polio,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Enterovirus D68 is the most common cause of less severe forms of encephalitis and meningitis. The virus may also result in pulmonary infections and, more seldom, neurological symptoms like palsies. The virus is usually found in children and young people with mild symptoms that include fever, pulmonary infection symptoms and body aches. On rare occassions, it can result in more serious symptoms, like pulmonary and neurological symptoms. There is no curative treatment beside treating the symptoms. Preventive measures are good hand and coughing hygiene. FHI reports that there is no vaccine.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES wE27

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

Is your current plan of action over your career zone taking you in the right direction? If not, you don’t have to abandon ship all together. You just need to modify your approach and stop taking comments personally. You get excellent results from practical efforts. TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st) There’s a co-operative atmosphere developing at home, making it your favourite place to be this week. There’s renewed warmth in your love life, relationships and friendships, and since that’s what makes you happiest, you’ll have a big smile on your face the whole week. GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st) Be prepared to deal with unexpected personal setbacks and to approach life as steadily as you can. Don’t get involved in too many new ventures or you’ll spread yourself too thinly and will feel dissatisfied with all of them. Christmas is coming so get ready. CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) Work is trundling along nicely as are money matters, but its time to step up the efforts in the love zone as romance and passion feature in a big way this week. You’ve got what it takes to attract a whole load of compliments. Accept graciously and don’t hide away. Enjoy. LEO (July 24th-August 23rd) If you’re finding everyone pushy or difficult, it may be worth taking a step back and having a look at your own life and lifestyle choices, before you start criticising them. Downsize your responsibilities if possible and start focusing on partners, children and family.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd) If you keep going over the ins and outs of relationships at home, especially when there’s nothing wrong, your obsessive behaviour may be the last straw for partners, and things could hit the skids. Try to minimise conflict by seeing the other persons point of view. LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) One to one friendships get a lift this week, so its worth focusing your efforts on securing and maintaining positive relationships. It may be hard to bring certain others round to your way of thinking, but use your persuasive charm to convince them you know best. SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) You have plenty of scope to be both critical and open minded this week, a formidable combination when it comes to being ahead of the game. Stand by decisions you make this week or others will see you as weak and insecure. Social trends look positive so go with the flow.

In another local town Alfaz del Pi, the local dog pound has been forced to close at the order of the Mayor. Dogs were suffering in there and were being killed because the pound was full. It was a horrific place to visit and we do need to move forward with finding a way to run a dog pound in this town successfully. The problem now is that we have a large number and we are talking over 100! Dogs and on top of that cats....to find urgent new homes for to keep them safe from the gas chamber that will kill them. The options are limited. Kind people who will take one or two. Then there is Benidorm Dog Pound! This last week we have seen an explosion of dogs dumped with us, dogs whose hearts are broken after being left in the pound knowing that love is lost. Where we used to have 2 dogs in a cage we now have 5 and it is only going to get worse as we try to help out the dogs on the verge of death from Alfaz pound. The problems are many with taking in this amount. Dogs will be crammed into cages far to small for 5 at a time. We won't get to see the dogs easily and spot the ill ones so that we can help them. Living in cramped conditions turns them into packs, meaning they are harder to socialise. So many in a pen and too few volunteers means we cant get them out for a walk. This is getting desperate and we need your help now and you can do this in many ways. Turn up and walk the dogs. Many of you are now here for a few months and just 2-3 hours of your time is invaluable for our dogs. Donations are vital as we now will have more emergency trips to the vets for treatment as the dogs become less socialised and more unhappy towards each other. We need building materials to help section off a large plot of land into smaller sections so we can get dogs out of their pens and into an area they can run the volunteers will do the building work we just need the tools. Here is a way you can help us and spread the word and get donations in.....buy a t-shirt! 30 ordered and over 365 dollars raised BUT ONLY IF we get 40 ordered.

Great g i f t i d e a too for your animal loving friends as not only do they get a great quality t-shirt but the knowledge that they are helping out with our work. You can order in a range of colours and they can be delivered anywhere in the world..... Also buy a t-shirt to help raise funds and spread the word http://teespring.com/benidormdoghominggroup Please help us, this is now getting to critical level as we are expecting the unwanted hunting dogs to be coming into us soon as well! We do need help and you can make a donation using PayPal to yeso1977@hotmail.com or contact us on Facebook or call or call Maria on 0034 677 37 33 96 to find out more about our dogs in need! For me walking the dogs gave me connections in this country and help that I never knew I needed. SO being a volunteer is not just about the dogs itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about us humans too. So now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your turn to help.

Colds are common in kittens because these little guys have developing immune systems and aren't as able to fight off infection as well as their adult counterparts. These colds are due to upper respiratory infections caused by either virus or bacterial infection. Sneezing Kitties A little kitten with an upper respiratory infection has symptoms similar to colds in people. You'll notice that he sneezes and coughs frequently. He may also have a runny nose and watery eyes. In some cases, the little one will develop a fever, become less active and lethargic and may eat less than usual. While colds are an annoyance for older kitties, in kittens they can quickly become serious, leading to pneumonia, trouble breathing or ulcers on the nose, mouth or eyes, according to the Mar Vista Animal Medical Center. The simple loss of fluids caused by a runny nose in a tiny furry baby can also result in dehydration. What to Do? Visit your veterinarian if you notice cold symptoms in your little kitty to properly diagnose the condition. She'll be able to examine your furry friend and determine the cause of his sneezy symptoms. In some cases, a virus could be to blame, while in others a bacterial infection could be the cause. The two major causes of upper respiratory infections are either the herpesvirus or calicivirus, both of which account for 80 to 90 percent of all such infections, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. While viruses can't be cured and may recur later in life, bacterial infections can. These may occur as the primary or secondary cause of your little one's symptoms and can be treated with antibiotics to rid your kitty of them. What to Expect Kitty colds last around four to 14 days, although they may last longer in little kittens -up to three or four weeks, according to the Cats Exclusive Veterinary Center. During this time, your vet may want you to administer an antibiotic or antiviral medication orally and may also give you eye drops or nasal drops. Drops help your little one breathe more easily by relieving his congestion or may help soothe his red, irritated eyes. Follow your vet's instructions and bring your little one in for regular exams, especially if his symptoms aren't improving.

MAN UP AND SEE THE DOC It is a fact. Men avoid Doctors. Many will admit that they will only visit a Doctor if pressurized by the other half, in fact in one American study, 80% of men agreed that without a little push from their partner they would not see a Doctor. It is this reluctance that means that men are much more likely to end up in hospital with problems such as pneumonia, heart failure and complications from diabetes. Cancers in men are often diagnosed at a point where treatment is less effective or

the disease is terminal. Suicide is also more common in men as they are much less likely to consult a Doctor when they are feeling depressed. Avoiding the Doctor may well be a learned behaviour that men inherit from their own Fathers, as well as the male notion that complaining about pain or illness is somehow a sign of weakness. Women on average live 5.1 years longer than men. The following statistics go someway to explaining this: 45% of men are overweight 1/3 of men are clinically obese 7/8 of men have at least one risk factor for heart disease or strokes Twice as many men than women drink more than the recommended safe limits for alcohol

25% of men have high blood pressure

If a m a n has a problem of a personal nature they are even more reluctant to discuss it with a Doctor. One study revealed that in such cases: 42 % have delayed seeing their Doctor 47% are excruciatingly embarrassed when they do attend 12% never seek medical attention for the problem. So ladies, if you have ever been accused of nagging your other half to seek medical attention, take no heed and keep nagging, you may well be saving his life. It may also be a good idea to leave this article on your coffee table!

With the Internationals out of the way till next March we now have a good run of Premier League Fixtures to get the Alfaz Fantasy League up and running. The 9 Premier League games provided the Fantasy League with 22 goals,4 clean sheets, 33 yellow cards and 2 red ones.Hull City's Ramirez and West Brom's Yacob were both dismissed for 2 footed tackles. It was a fairly slow scoring Week in the Fantasy with the average score being only 19 points but it didn't stop Vince's Team Bars a Loner from increasing their lead at the top to 7 points. Spur's Eriksen was his top player with 10 points after having an assist and scoring a 90th minute winner against 10 men Hull City. Steve's Team Cowden Red Devils remain in 2nd place followed by Neil's Blue Moon Rising. Lenny's Spreaders moved up 3 places to 4th and are well in contention to challenge the top 3.Down at the foot of the Table Les's Team Have Not Got a Clue are still struggling as they are now 37 points adrift of Winnie's Le Hombre Rioja. Our Golden Boot League which is sponsored by Leonard Knowles Construction has had 6 different leaders so far in 12 weeks. This week Chelsea Fan Keith's Team Max & Paddy have taken over pole position and lead last weeks Leader Super Rhys by 10 points. Eric's Team The Chosen Ones are in 3rd place 2 points ahead of Karen's Florida Pearls.At the other end of the Table Les's Team Have Not Got a Clue actually picked up points this Week when Arsenal's back from injury Striker Giroud netted for the Gunners in their 2-1 defeat against Van Gals Wonders.( I wonder how they won that game). Harley's Team Ginger Ninja became the 5th Team to reach the Summit of our U.K.T.V. SPAIN Junior League when they took a very narrow 3 point lead over Lily's Team Sponge Bob XI. Anthony's Team Dart Vader will be hoping that Manchester United's Wayne Rooney continues with his goal scoring form as he has helped his Team move up into 3rd place.At the other end of the scale Adam's Team What's the Point had a good week scoring 23 points which moved him within 26 points of Calum's Rees Red Devils. In our Mark Carter Ladies Section Sharon's Team Shaztastic are showing no signs of slowing down as they stepped on the gas and increased their advantage at the top over 2 Teams Pam's People and Debbie's Foxy Filberts to a 24 points. Winnie's Team Le Hombre Rioja have been stuck at the bottom

BENIDORM POOL LEAGUE DIVISION 1

for 6 Weeks and I can't see anything changing for them until Liverpool pull their socks up and get a shift on.At the moment they trail Kate's Team Mixed Bunch by 29 points. We have 2 Teams going into our Premier Imports Draw at the end of the Month for case of fine Wine and they are this week's top Scoring team Big Sams Army(42) and our lowest scoring Team Steph's Seymour Shooters (5).Five of Steph's Players scored minus points,one of them being Arsenal's Kieron Gibbs who put through his own goal. Manager of the Month for November is being kindly sponsored by Darren & Lorna at the Brisa Del Mar in Albir who provide excellent good wholesome home cooked food at good prices.

IT’S CRUNCH TIME FOR ENGLAND

Before the QBE Internationals kicked off Stuart Lancaster stated that England had to win three of the four internationals – not my words, not some other journalists’ but those of the England manager. That is now impossible. As November nears its end England face Australia, pool rivals in next year’s World Cup with a record of 1-2 going into the match. Defeat from an English perspective does not bear thinking about. The month when Twickenham was supposed to be turned into the fortress from which a confident assault on the world could be launched next year will be – in rugby terms – a wreck should the Wallabies win. This really is a significant game in the coaching career of Lancaster and maybe down the road we will look back on it and

agree it was indeed his most important match to date. To win the World Cup, the knowledge and confidence of how to beat the big three is a prerequisite. Should Australia win, Lancaster’s record would be one win in three against them. Twickenham or not, this is not the launch pad for World Cup glory.

ENGLAND CALL Up WALDROM

Exeter No 8 Thomas Waldrom has been called into Stuart Lancaster’s 31-man England squad for this weekend’s clash with Australia.

Waldrom, who has been in superb form for the Chiefs, scoring seven tries in eight Aviva Premiership matches, replaces Billy Vunipola who suffered concussion in Saturday is a test of the management’s Saracens’ defeat to Northampton on ability to tweak a broadly structured game Sunday. plan into something flexible that George Ford can get his hands and boot on and Stephen Myler, who kicked 16 points in turn it into a sorely needed win.

SWITZERLAND MAKE TENNIS HISTORY

A Roger Federer masterclass helped Switzerland clinch their first Davis Cup title as the 17-time grand slam champion defeated Richard Gasquet to hand them an unassailable 3-1 lead over hosts France. The 6-4 6-2 6-2 win helped the 33-year-old Federer secured the historic decisive point and land the last big prize in tennis missing from his collection to rapturous applause by both sets of supporters in front of another world record crowd of 27,488 on the indoor claycourt in Lille. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was initially set to face the Swiss star but was sidelined with an elbow injury meaning Gasguet took his spot for France. But he was unable to cope with an inspired Federer, who looked a back to his very best following a back injury which crippled him at the ATP World Tour finals in London last weekend.

Vunipola was dropped for the 28-9 victory over Samoa - Gloucester's Ben Morgan started in his place - and was unlikely to figure in the climax to the autumn against the Wallabies.

"Billy will undergo the graduated return to play protocol at his club," read a statement released by England. George Ford's fine full debut means he will start against the Wallabies, leaving Owen Farrell to battle it out with Billy Twelvetrees for the number 12 jersey. Forwards: Joe Marler, Matt Mullan, Kieran Brookes, David Wilson, Dylan Hartley, Rob Webber, Dave Attwood, Graham Kitchener, George Kruis, Courtney Lawes, Calum Clark, James Haskell, Ben Morgan, Chris Robshaw, Thomas Waldrom, Tom Wood Backs: Lee Dickson, Richard Wigglesworth, Ben Youngs, Brad Barritt, Luther Burrell, Owen Farrell, George Ford, Stephen Myler, Billy Twelvetrees, Mike Brown, Alex Goode, Jonny May, Jack Nowell, Anthony Watson, Marland Yarde
