PSOE Councillor María García visited Orihuela Costa recently to check on the improvements announced by Ciudadanos Councillor Luisa Boné ... and declared them decidedly lacking. She said that although the area is evidently better than it was after the storms in December, it is still “a long way from being up to scratch for residents and tourists”. “There is still a lot of work to do,” claimed the socialist. “In Campoamor not even one of the foot taps is working and the handrails onto the beach wobble because they are not properly fixed down. At La Zenia there are still broken handrails and foot taps. Aguamarina is closed with a sign warning about the danger of rockfalls and it is full of rocks and seaweed. In Cabo Roig seaweed is still piling up in a corner and smells very strong.” She went on to say that “the urbanisations also need work as plant cuttings and rubbish keep piling up. The

bus stops are either old or notable for their absence. Cabo Roig promenade is closed for repair works which still have not got past Cala Capitán. To sum up Orihuela Costa needs a lot more than a spring clean to be ready for tourists at Easter, it needs to be a dignified place to live”. She claimed investment and a comprehensive plan are needed to gradually resolve its deficiencies. “They have to stop just repairing things and start to build quality and lasting services,” she added. The councillor said that increasing the number of cleaning and maintenance workers should not be done occasionally but all the time. She said: “Residents need to keep demanding improvements to the pavements, the roads, the cleaning and other services. The lack of communication between the council and residents is Continued on page 2

Gender violence campaign The Councillor for Equality, Sabina-Goretti Galindo, has presented a new campaign against gender violence organised by Orihuela Council. This consists of the placement of posters, made by the General Council of the Judiciary, together with the Observatory against domestic and gender violence. Through the campaign the City Council aims to promote awareness of this ‘social scourge’, using the information posters to sensitise the local community to gender violence, especially in those who are vulnerable. The Councillor was accompanied by the Miguel Angel Fernandez, and representatives of several different groups and institutions such as the Miguel Hernández University, ACMO, Vega Baja Acoge, and Women of the Third Millennium. The posters also include relevant information such as the 016 telephone helpline, the Municipal Service for Gender Violence Care (SEMAVIG), the Office of Victims of Crime Assistance, the UVID unit of the Local Police and the Police Station in Orihuela.

palpable. Apart from a few associations there is enormous disaffection between citizens of the coast and the Town Hall and this isn't good for anyone.” Finally she promised that her party will keep making proposals at council meetings “to increase investments and improve Orihuela Costa so that there are no differences between the people of Orihuela in the city and those on the coast”. María García’s visit came hot on the heels of a press statement by the Councillor for Beaches Luisa Boné which said that everything is in perfect condition for the Easter holidays. Luisa Boné said: “We work throughout the year to maintain the beaches and services in the conditions that our neighbours and visitors deserve, but we are at the expense of the storms and the administrative procedures to be able to repair these damages are sometimes very slow.” The Councillor listed the works carried out which she said included: a series of improvement works to the gardens along the promenade, repairs to the three elevators that give access to

the beaches in Barranco Rubio and Punta Prima and intense repair and maintenance work on the beaches of Mil Palmeras, Punta Prima and La Glea. The installation of water from the foot-pipes of all beaches has been restored, as all the pipes have been broken with the storm, the walls located on the waterways affected by the storm water have been re-plastered and painted. The railings of several promenades, lampposts and all the municipal life-saving huts have all been painted. As the storms left many beaches almost without sand, a contract in now in place to regenerate the beaches as required. Councillor Bone said that the work of strengthening and protecting the cliffs of Cabo Roig is being carried out currently and is expected to be completed in May. This will enable the promenade of Cala Capitan to be open this Summer for the first time in three years.

Council urged to stop rubbish dumps in Orihuela Costa
New bus route to the Friday market A new bus route is to be opened in order to bring people to the Friday market’s new site. This is in addition to route C which will also include a pick up and drop off point there. The councillor for markets, Javier Manzanares, has announced that this new line will mean that there are altogether thirty stops from which people can access the market. The new bus route will begin on the same day as the market opens and will function between the hours of 7.30am and 2pm, running every 40 minutes. The route will include a stop by the Hotel Fontana on calle Ramón Gallud and another at the end of calle Apolo by the BP petrol station. There will be two stops along the Avenida de las Cortes Valencianas and the final stop will be at the market. The bus will be able to accommodate 90 passengers and will be accessible for the disabled and those using wheelchairs. Line C will also link up with the new market. The stops on this route include at the bus stop at Eras de la Sal, in calle Orihuela and include Hospital Quirón. These buses also run every forty minutes. It is expected that the final market opening day will be announced very shortly. ‘So far more than 300 market traders have been informed,’ explained councillor Manzanares. ‘By next Friday we expect everyone to have been formally notified. We will not be making the move, however, during Easter week.’ Continued on page 5
The Compromís for Orihuela party has publicised residents’ complaints that illegal rubbish tips are spreading out of control on the Costa due to the neglect of the town hall. Party secretary Martin Borislavov criticised “the council's has no control while the rubbish is piling up”. He assured “residents have to suffer the consequences of having dumps like these a few metres from their homes”. “While the number of inhabitants keeps increasing, the services are still insufficient” and so “the accumulation of plant cuttings, construction debris, furniture and all kinds of rubbish has been getting worse due to the ineffectiveness
of the council”. Borislavov warned there is a danger of fires because they are close to houses and so asked for “immediate action before the hotter months arrive”. “It is embarrassing that those of us who live in Orhiuela Costa have to live with these mountains of rubbish around us and see that councillors have no intention of coming up with solutions”. He insisted the Town Hall look into setting up places where the public can get rid of their rubbish safely and for free. “This could be an effective and responsible solution to the problem of disproportionate rubbish accumulating in Orihuela Costa,” Borislavov concluded.
Autism pictograms installed at Orihuela Costa sports centre The Councillor for Social Welfare, Sabina Galindo, has presented the 36 new pictograms to be placed in the Municipal Sports Centre of Orihuela Costa, in order to “facilitate the integration of autistic users, especially the children of Orihuela” explained the councillor. At the presentation Sabrina Galindo was accompanied by the Councillor for Sports, Dámaso Aparicio, the President of the association Dinoco, Laura Tomás, and the President of the Fundación Libertea, Cristina Albadalejo. From now the Sports Centre will display the pictograms “that will help the children to recognise the changing rooms, the swimming baths, and the actions that they can carry out inside the facility” the councillor said.
News
For their part, the two associations thanked the Department of Social Welfare for “collaborating with us on these new images adding a significant number of pictograms and expanding the municipal facilities that have this signage.” The Councilor for Sports also added that the municipality has a large number of autistic people who visit the facilities in the Costal Sports Centre and city Water Palace on a daily basis and for them it is important to have these images that make their daily life much easier.” The Councillor for Social Welfare said: “We will continue to expand the number of pictograms by distributing them to other municipal buildings and facilities, such as museums, parks and libraries.”

RYANAIR THREATENS TO STOP FLIGHTS TO AND FROM THE UK Bad news for expats in Spain who make regular trips back to see friends and family as Ryanair has threatened to stop running flights in the UK post-Brexit. Admittedly, this is a last resort and worst-case scenario, but the low-cost Irish airline is very concerned about the impact on its operations in Britain once it leaves the EU. The oft-quoted uncertainty around the divorce has led to the carrier shrinking its growth forecast for the UK market for 2017 from an initial 15 percent down to 6 percent - a drastic drop which the firm says is 'inevitable'. “Unavoidably, Brexit will cause a fall in growth,” said Ryanair's financial director Neil Sorahan. “We haven't seen it yet, but we believe it will generate a slowdown in economic growth both in the UK and the EU, since both parties will have to face up to a completely new scenario.” The airline has been pushing the British government for greater clarity on its negotiating strategies with the remaining EU-27 over the two years up to the 'Brexit' deadline. Companies do not have two years to sit around and wait – especially airlines, since the majority schedule their flights 12 years in advance, so Ryanair is one of many which will have to work out its plan of action by March 2018 at the latest. So if there is no concrete plan by then, Ryanair flights to and from the UK may have to stop 'for a while'. “We're diverting our growth away from the UK,” said Sorahan during a
presentation in London of Ryanair's new customer service programme, 'Always Improving'. Set up four years ago to tackle what was then its weakest area, the new, friendly and much more flexible attitude has led to an upturn in profits. Anecdotal evidence claimed Ryanair lost tens of millions of euros when passengers began to decide almost en masse that they would rather pay more to travel with another carrier and get better service. Flights within the EU enjoy a so-called 'open skies' scenario where permits are not needed to cross between member States, but post-Brexit, the UK government will have to negotiate bilateral agreements which could be bureaucratic, costly and pose restrictions. Ryanair's internal UK flights will also be affected – as an Irish company operating in another EU country, it does not need a special licence to run intra-national routes, which for the Irish carrier make up around 2 percent of the total. Sorahan says Ryanair will decide within the next year whether or not to request a permit from the UK government or simply stop running most or all of its national flights. At present, international flights to and from the UK with Ryanair are affected mostly by the uncertainty surrounding the future, since if answers are not given by next March, it may have no option but to ground these routes until it knows what is going to happen.

Fire extinguished in park The Guardia Civil are currently looking for those responsible for starting a fire in the Water Mill park (Molino del Agua) near to La Mata beach on Friday 7th April. It’s known to be arson as the perpetrator left several boxes of matches in the area. The alarm was raised at 6.10pm by passers by and was close to the site of a previous fire in 2013. This acted as a break and prevented the flames from spreading through the 20 hectares of protected land, pine trees and sand dunes. The Local Police, Guardia Civil and the fire service combined to try and stop the fire from spreading further, managing to extinguish it in half an hour. They found two boxes of matches and the police are treating it as arson.
Brexit impacts on Easter arrangements During the Easter processions different groups or Cofradías carry the huge Easter floats along the set routes through the town. Traditionally Torrevieja has welcomed the participation of the international Cofradía, whose costaleros carry the Nuestro Padre Jesús en la Oración del Huerto de los Olivos. However, this year there are to be changes to the way in which the float is transported along the streets. The float or ‘trono’ needs at least 85 costaleros to carry it. This year, only 50 are able to help support the great weight. However, Brexit as well as the increasing age of many participants is being blamed on why, this year, they simply can’t find enough people to carry it. Instead of carrying it on their shoulders, the costaleros will be helped by the addition of wheels to the float. Jesús Sánchez, the person responsible for this cofradía, suggests that it’s not only the increasing age of many of the original costaleros but also the fact that many people have returned to the UK. According to the Spanish paper ‘informacion’ there were 12,000 British people on the padrón at the beginning of the decade and now there are only 5,000.
Tourism campaign continues The town council’s efforts to encourage people to visit Torrevieja for reasons other than the beaches continues. The natural parks and lakes are now the focus of the town’s latest campaign to attract people here. Councillor Fanny Serrano is in charge of the drive to convince people that Torrevieja offers a blend, not only of beaches, but also natural lakes, parks, good food, sporting and nautical opportunities. The newly developed publicity material will feature on public trains, including on the fast speed train AVE during the month of April. It is hoped that tourists will be attracted to the town all year round and not Continued on page 6

Fight at night club On the 8th April The Guardia Civil detained two British residents who were about to cause a serious accident outside the Velice nightclub on the Casagrande industrial estate. The two British men were driving recklessly and under the influence of alcohol. They had already been ejected from the night club due to there being a disturbance inside. It is believed that after being required to leave they got into the vehicle and drove into a pedestrianised area. They put the lives of several pedestrians at risk as well as damaging some property. The passenger and driver did swap at one point in a bid to confuse the police who eventually managed to pull the vehicle over. The driver was four times over the legal alcohol limit in Spain. Suzanne O’Connell
beneficiary is Torrevieja Alzheimer’s Association. This performance is set around Grovello, head slave to the Senator and played by Alan Appleton. Grovello is trying to buy his freedom from the Senator and his wife, Lamenta who are played by Stagestruck favourites Jim and Jean Speakman. Another longstanding performer and familiar face for the theatre group is Blanca Helena Sierra. This time she plays the Senator’s daughter, Virginia.

PETS IN SPIRIT Having a pet helps the positive flow of Chi in a home and stroking a pet can bring down your heart rate, not to mention your stress levels. When a pet greets you on your return home it's such a joyful experience you can't fail to feel uplifted. So how do we cope when our beloved pet has to leave the earthly plane? As a Medium I am often asked if a pet lives on in the spirit world and my answer to this is a resounding 'yes'. When we lost our dog Jet a few years ago we missed her terribly. She was an elderly girl at the age of 17, and everyone kept saying she'd had 'a good innings'. However, that didn't stop us grieving for her although I knew for definite that her love would love on in our hearts. Love transcends all boundaries, and I had confirmation of that about
an hour after she had 'gone'. I was at home looking through the window across the garden and thinking about her as a puppy and what a little character she was. Then all of a sudden, I saw an image of her from a side profile. She looked younger and fitter, and was looking around, but it was obvious she was in a different dimension as all I could see was her head. The only way I can describe what I saw was that it was like seeing her reflection through the glass, as if she were behind me in the room. I knew that she had come back to let me know she had reached her destination and was now happy, and pain free. People ask me if I can communicate with pet spirits. Although it's obvious that a pet can't 'talk' to me I can pass on
information to clients when they come to me for a reading. I will often see their loved ones in spirit holding a dog, cat, rabbit or bird or I will see the pet by their feet. I feel blessed to be able to pass on such wonderful confirmation to people that our pet's souls live on. No-one will ever know for sure where our pets go with they pass on. Some say they go to the 'Rainbow Bridge' where they can run and play among the trees and beautiful rolling hills. Others feel that the pet goes to the same place as our human loved ones. Some of you reading this article may have felt your pet's spirit around you in the home. This is further confirmation that they are absolutely fine and are just popping by to say 'hello'.

His ruthless CEO gives him an ultimatum: retrieve the cash quickly or lose your job. He is confronted not only by a murder charge against himself, a demanding boss and a jealous rival, but also by nightmares that haunt him from his recent military experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. As Christian pursues the robbers to France then Spain, he is forced to accept the assistance of Valerie Cunningham, an arrogant yet attractive loss adjuster for Securcoy's insurance company. Their relationship and their deep personal confessions to each other, are exposed as the pace of the investigation quickens.

If you’re in Torrevieja over the next few weeks then you have opportunity to see some of the spectacular processions that mark Semana Santa, or Holy Week. The processions begin on Sunday 9th April and finish on Monday 17th April but make sure you do not leave your car parked on one of their routes. On Holy Wednesday the 12th April two processions will set off simultaneously at 10pm. One will leave from the Inmaculada Concepcion church and travel along the Plaza de la Constitución and the second will set off from the Sagrado Corazón de Jesus church and pass through the Plaza de Oriente, Zoa and Ramón Gallud street to Maria Parodi. Here the floats from the two churches will meet and then go on together along Ramón Gallud. On Thursday there is a silent procession at 11pm from the Inmaculada Concepción church along Patricio Pérez, Campoamor, Turco, Gabriel Miró and
Caballero de Rodas. On Good Friday, 14th April, there is a procession setting off at 8pm from the Inmaculada Concepción church. This procession has a large number of floats that pass along Caballero de Rodas, Patricio Pérez, Ramón Gallud and back to Caballero de Rodas. On Saturday 15th April is the ‘Great Drum Roll’ with a procession touring around the town setting off from the Virgen del Carmen cultural centre in town. This is a noisy event and everyone is welcome to bring a drum. On Sunday 16th April a procession sets off at 8am from the Inmaculada Concepción church and on Monday 24th April, the final procession leaves from the same church to form a solemn procession along the avenida de la Libertad, Paseo Vistalegre and back to the Plaza de la Constitución.

Pie High When Abi Johnson approached George and Pedro owners of Da Silva restaurant in Quesada for help with an unusual prize - for the Quesada ‘Bakeaway Cake Competition’ to make a Traditional Victoria Sandwich - George had no hesitation in offering the prize of a voucher for a lesson into how to make a really good Steak Pie! As well as fabulous food on a regular daily basis, Da Silva's has just introduced a new special steak pie and a glass of wine at lunchtime for just 5 euros and
although the exchange rate more than flutters for tourists this is €5 not £5 - and £5 is kind of the going rate for just a glass of wine in the UK. George and Pedro are no newcomers to supporting charity and they have already done their fair share for Elche Children's Care Home and on Friday 21st April there is a “Look as Good as You Can” talk by Angela Swaga, one of the winners of the GM Business Woman of the Year Awards 2016 in Calpe. This will be followed by a light lunch and then on Friday 19th May Da Silva's has a threecourse Ladies Lunch and Fabulous “Step into Summer” Fashion Show
for just €12.95 a ticket. The Victoria Sandwich Cake Competition is part of The Spring Fair at MJ's in Quesada - and George has also said the winner will be able to sample her or even his pie accompanied with a glass of wine or two. How nice is it to see restaurants helping charity and supporting each other whilst doing it. For more information and to book tickets for Angela Swaga on Friday 21st April at Da Silva's or The Step into Summer Fashion Show and Lunch also at Da Silva's please email sueinthesun@hotmail.co.uk or just pop in to Da Silva’s.
Small concert on the Costa CLARO has been campaigning for years for a centrally located Cultural Centre for Orihuela Costa. It is a priority, just like the Emergency Services Centre which is still an abandoned building 10 years after the foundation stone was laid. The local political party believes that without a proper cultural centre capable of seating at least 400 people, residents will have no significant cultural life on the coast, no music, theatre or cinema and no room for associations to meet and pursue their leisure and social activities. Without a cultural centre the Costa gets virtually nothing from the 1 million euros annual cultural budget which provides lavish cultural activities the year round in Orihuela city. Like the budget in general the annual cultural budget is financed out of
the 60 percent revenue coming from Orihuela Costa taxpayers. The need for a Cultural Centre in

18 years for Brit accused of La Zenia body murder Paul Monk, one of the British most wanted, was imprisoned in Jávea two years ago as a drug trafficker, and is allegedly linked to the discovery of a body on the beach at La Zenia. Paul Graham Monk, the British fugitive detained two years ago in Jávea by the Guardia Civil, is under investigation for the appearance of a dead body on a beach in Orihuela Costa, and has been condemned for leading a drugs cartel by a British court to 18 years imprisonment in the United Kingdom, a sentence as a consequence of great police and judicial collaboration between the UK and Spain which both sides want to remain – ‘Brexit or no Brexit’ His detention by the Guardia Civil in April 2015 in Jávea, was reclaimed by Great Britain as one of the most wanted fugitives, and days later he became the main suspect in the assassination of Francis Brennan, a fellow Brit, whose body appeared on La Zenia beach in a taped up plastic covering. Detectives have little doubt that Monk is the guilty party for the murder, as he was the right hand man for Paul Scott, considered as the intellectual author or planner of the assassination, chief of a criminal group from Liverpool and accused of importing into Britain 40 tons of cocaine, and who was detained months later independent of the lack of evidence to make formal charges – an investigation which remains open. Monk had reasons enough to be detained. His photo formed part of the Captura Operation – the campaign by
Crimestoppers which hunts down British fugitives, accused of rape, child abuse and drug trafficking and are suspected to be hiding in Spain. Monk was granted conditional release by the Spanish judiciary and he made the most of the opportunity to launder money and contraband from a luxury chalet in Jávea, which was hiding a
Montaño, who was hearing the case, found 125,000 € cash, a simulated pistol with charger and silencer, a false passport of Monk and above all, a notebook detailing all his drug running activity – which permitted the British judiciary to place Monk behind bars. It’s analysis by the British authorities
secret room. He became a hermit and covered his face when leaving his home on a motorbike. The research into the assassination of Brennan, permitted the UCO to locate him in the same location where Brennan was kidnapped, but this was not the most important. The searching of his chalet was revealing – in the framework of the property, recalled by the judge in Instruction Court 2 in Dénia, Linda Paloma
reached the following conclusion: Monk was the head of a network which sent cocaine to his country with a value of 31 million pounds. ‘The Crown confirms you are a professional delinquent, immersed by drug trafficking between countries’ said the sentence. So, from the six years remaining on his Spanish sentence has been tripled to 18 as the ‘narcotics king’. Meanwhile suspicions remain over his authorship of kidnapping and assassination of Francis Brennan

Take a good look at these gorgeous exotic flowers. Have you seen these plants before, wondered what they are called, and whether they would grow well in your garden? Welcome to the wonderful world of cannas! Regretfully, cannas are not widely used by homeowners, although the interest and demand for these beautiful plants seems to be increasing. Cannas are valued mostly for their large tropical foliage and showy, brilliantly coloured flowers. The foliage is as ornamental as the flowers. It may be pure green, greenish blue, coppery to purplish, ruby, or green with white stripes. Cannas, or canna lilies, are easily grown tender perennials native to tropical and subtropical areas. The flowers are typically red, pink, orange, yellow or any combination of those colours. Cannas come in many different sizes – from dwarf plants of about 40cm tall to giants of up to 2-3 metres. The low growing varieties (90-140cm) are perfectly suited for small gardens, apartments, terraces, roof gardens or any other area with limited space. Cannas look fantastic in masses and also grow well in pots. A large flower pot full of cannas really brightens up a sunny patio or porch. With the diversity in size and colour cannas are great everywhere. With their fast growth they will quickly transform any garden into a tropical paradise.
SUN
Cannas love and need the sun, but in our hot summers they will do fine also in partial shade. Cannas thrive under high summer temperatures. While many plants wither away in the summer sun, cannas really kick in to
show you just how magnificent they can be. The only limiting factor in their growth at this time usually is lack of adequate moisture and fertilizer.
SOIL
Soil requirements are rather simple. Cannas grow best in a rich soil with lots of natural matter. Cannas will also grow in poor soil, but the leaf size and colour will suffer.
WATER
Water them generously 2-3 times a week. Cannas prefer a moist soil and even in standing water many cannas will thrive.
PLANTING & CARE
Cannas are not hard to grow, just plant the rhizomes (fleshy, underground root-like structures) about 15cm deep and let the plants do the rest. Cannas are a wonderful thing because they will move closer to the soil level or deeper in the soil depending on what they need. What to do then? Give a monthly feed during growth season, leave them and let them grow‌ To assure continuous bloom throughout the summer, remove the dead flower heads so seeds do not form.
Usually a second flowering shoot, growing from the node just below the dead flower, will be halfway in bloom already. Remove this shoot also when its blooms are withered. Another flowering shoot will soon develop on the node below. If the dead flowers are not removed, the plant will concentrate its energy on developing seed pods instead of new flowers. When the cannas are done flowering and start to whither, leave the foliage for about six weeks for the rhizomes to gather nutrients) before cutting them down and removing any dead stems. Leave the rhizomes in the ground and add a layer of compost to the top of the soil. This compost dressing will keep the soil rich and ready for the next round of growth and stunning flowers. If you plant different types of cannas you may experience a varying display of flowers all year round.
PROPAGATION Cannas produce seeds which you can try planting, but the easiest propagation method is rhizome division. Every plant in the ground can produce two and sometimes three bulbs in one season, making it easy to have a good display very quickly. What other plant gives you so much summer punch and needs so little in return? These are the most carefree and easy going plants that anyone can grow. Water is the big key - give them plenty of water and room to grow and they will wow you each and every time... Marc Vijverberg

‘You Can’t Be Serious’ is a weekly tongue in cheek look at the world through Bernie Comaskey’s eyes. With kind permission of the Westmeath Examiner. bernie.comaskey@gmail.com
Can we eliminate the Scourge of love? Whether it is better “to have loved and lost then not to have loved at all” is a matter for serious debate. What is a fact beyond all doubt is that love is a serious affliction and that the state of being in love is a mind altering situation. Romantic love has the same affect on the brain as a drug and therefore is love not a drug? In 1999, a study in England, using sophisticated brain scanning equipment, found that the sites in the brain most active when a person falls in love are the same as those stimulated by cocaine. The study concluded that love is a form of compulsive, obsessive, unpredictable behaviour. Does living like that sound right to you, dear sensible reader? In any words, love is a drug, even if given to us by nature. The victim receives a flood of chemicals to the brain, creating feelings of euphoria. A man can be stricken quicker than a woman – a bit like the common cold! He can fall in love through eye contact across a crowded room, although the scientists claim he looks for wide hips and is drawn to her breathing. Well actually they said “chest heaving up and down”, but I thought “breathing” more polite. The sisters may deny this, but the same scientist says that women first carry out a subconscious evaluation of reliability and future father of family material. Mankind is the only animal which suffers from this love thing. Furthermore, it is said that the condition evolved as a mechanism for keeping a man and a woman together long enough to raise a child to three or four years. I can hear shrieks of horror and disagreements from a majority of you – but it gets worse – and remember please that I am only the messenger: Researchers find that the love drug rarely lasts longer than six years – so there! Maybe this is where the “seven year
itch” comes from? Of course Cupid’s arrow does not always strike true and the object of love is not always the best choice. Men and women have given up everything for love; family, family fortunes, status, titles and even kingdoms – proving that love is indeed a mind altering drug and that sufferers may not “be of sound mind”. People from all over the world, from every culture, all describe falling in love in similar terms; euphoria, exhilaration and elation. We are talking here about a drug-like craving and obsession for the person they desire. But how does this romantic love affect the brain? Helen Fisher, author of “Why we love” says that the brain sees romantic love as a reward, stimulating activity in the same areas that light up when a person seeks any kind of reward, whether it is chocolate, money or drugs. “It became apparent to me that love was a drive – a drive as strong as thirst or hunger. People live for love, they die for love, they kill for love, they sing about love”, Ms Fisher wrote. It affects all ages – so no more singling out of “dirty old men”! An eight year old girl took part in a study and had the same reaction as men and women in their eighties. We are not talking here about family love or platonic love – we are talking about the love-drug. In romantic love, our neurons, hormones, brain, blood-pressure, heart and stomach are all in a state of turmoil. Most of us have been attacked by this bug. As well, we see family members, friends and work colleagues get it real bad – you will always know them; they cannot concentrate on work, don’t eat, can’t sleep and fail to function in a rational manner. A name dropped, a song on the radio, a whiff of perfume or after-shave or a harmless joke can transform the sufferer into a
trance like state. You never know how to give firstaid in an emergency, because the attack can take the form of deliriously jumping up and down, or alternatively bursting into tears. Oh, and God protect innocent bystanders from the jilted and the jealous. In drug terms this might be known as love addiction with severe side effects. Psychiatrists liken people suffering from love withdrawals to the acutely depressed. Look at all the depressing songs there are about lost love, honky-tonk angels and the likes. “Love makes the world go round” it is claimed, but is this true and in this day and age is it not time to rid ourselves of this mill-stone? In parts of England divorce now runs at more than 50% which of course does not include the failed relationships which never make it to the altar Here in Ireland, the loss of production and man-hours due to this drug is costing the country billions. Love causes fights, break-ups of friendships, families and even murder. It is time to deal effectively with the problem. Pharmaceutical drug companies are coming up with a remedy for just about every affliction; Is it too much to expect that they might discover a little tablet to cure this love yoke? At least the ministers for health and justice should commission some colour of paper on the crisis. Let Simon or Leo head a committee or something … but in the national interest don’t just do nothing – too many people are suffering!
Love is the quest, marriage the conquest, and divorce the inquest …

WELCOME TO COSTA CRUISES AWARDSwith Vivalia Travel steamship, the Maria C. was launched. With a capacity of only 50 passengers, the Maria C. stayed in local waters. The larger Anna C. was launched in 1948. That ship, holding 768 passengers, was the firm's first transatlantic ship. After changing the company name to "Linea C," the firm expanded its transatlantic service with The 24th edition of the awaited annual event dedicated to the Company’s best travel partners worldwide recently took place on board Costa Pacifica. It departed from Rome, visiting Marseille, Savona and Barcelona. During “Protagonisti del Mare”, prizes were awarded to the travel partners who achieved the best performances in
2016. Vivalia Travel was awarded with one of them and collected it during the ceremony. The dedicated trophy, a dolphin in the shape of Costa’s iconic “C” – symbol of Protagonisti del Mare was specially designed for the event. Giacomo Costa founded his small shipping company, "Giacomo Costa fu Andrea," in 1854. Originally, his ships transported olive oil, fabrics and other goods to local towns. It wasn't until 1947 that the first passenger
new ships and new routes that included South American and Caribbean destinations. In 1986, Linea C decided to do away with its cargo business and just concentrate on passenger cruises. The company name was again changed, this time to Costa Crociere S.P.A. The firm's foray into television advertising brought in more business and caught the eye of the Carnival Corporation and Airtours, which jointly bought Costa in 1997. By 2000, Carnival was the sole owner, and the major cruise firm started adding new ships, all with a focus on luxury and entertainment.
Tourist friendly Study reveals that Spain is the most tourist-friendly country despite terror fears that surround key resorts. Europe attracts the most foreign tourists, followed by Asia Pacific, but Spain comes out on top overall in a new study by the World Economic Forum and leads the way in terms of tourist appeal. European economies dominated the top 10 rankings which were based on factors including health, culture and safety. A spokesperson from WEF said: “Despite increased fear of terrorism, tourism
performance of countries such as France and Germany have not declined significantly, confirming a strong resilience of the tourism sector to security shocks in the presence of strong institutions and sound fundamentals.” Europe attracted 620 million in 2016, making it the world’s largest tourism market followed by Asia Pacific. WEF puts Europe’s success as a tourism hub down to the continent’s cultural richness and good health conditions, among other things.

Police suspended over Brit in Benidorm custody death Two Spanish police officers have been suspended from duty for five days without pay for failing to prevent the suicide of British tourist Antony Abbott, 36, who died within an hour of his arrest in his cell at Benidorm police station in Spain’s Alicante province in the early hours of 23rd October, 2015. A supermarket employee from Bolton, Greater Manchester, Abbott had been drinking heavily on the night of his arrest and had become embroiled in an apparently violent argument over a cigarette lighter with Catherine Corless, his partner of nine years and the mother of his two children, Ellie – then eight, and Louie – seven. Alarmed, staff at the Hotel Palm Beach called the police who promptly took Abbott into custody. As the father of two was being taken away, he turned to Corless and said, ‘I’m sorry, I will see you soon. I love you’.” Two hours later, Corless was informed that her partner was dead. An investigation into Abbott’s death revealed that he had deliberately hit his head on the wall of the police station but was left unmonitored in a cell with no surveillance cameras for 18 minutes while one of the policemen left his post without permission and another failed to replace him. During these 18 minutes, Abbott used a blanket and a bar in the cell to take his own life. The Spanish National Police authorities’ decision to suspend the two officers from duty for five days without pay is the least
severe of a range of disciplinary actions stipulated by law. Lawyer María Ángeles Reyes Bernal, who has been working on the deceased’s partner’s behalf, has alleged that the police failed to inform Benidorm’s examining magistrate of the officers’ misconduct. In response to this allegation, police sources argue that there was no obligation to do so. “One thing is the examining magistrate and another is the disciplinary action,” said a spokesperson. Though the Spanish investigation into Abbott’s death was closed some time ago, the UK investigation remained open and on 23rd March this year the coroner in Manchester concluded that Abbott had died from hanging. His report also described the Benidorm Police Department’s failure to improve their installations as “negligence” and “an important factor.” In reference to this charge, the coroner cited an internal report from the Spanish Interior Ministry months before Abbot’s death, recommending that installations in Benidorm be modernised to avoid detainees taking their own lives.
Security breaches The Interior Ministry proposals included putting surveillance cameras in the seven cells at the station, upgrading the doors to avoid “strips of blankets being introduced,” installing buzzers in the cells and repairing the alarm system. The ministry also pointed out that detainees had to shout for attention as the cells were located on the lower ground
Tsunami predicted for Spain A devastating tsunami will hit south Spain and Portugal, experts warn. A new documentary has claimed it is only a matter of time before a devastating tsunami will hit Spain and Portugal. The film, La Gran Ola, warns that the giant wave will strike the Gulf of Cadiz and wreak havoc on the coast of Huelva and Cadiz, and could kill more than 1,200 people. There is no pinpoint date for the event, but experts say alarm systems should be put in place to prevent deaths. The Gulf of Cadiz sits on a major plate boundary posing a huge risk to coastal areas. Begoña Perez, Head of the Division of Oceanography of Spanish Ports, said: “The question is not whether there will be another tsunami, but when will it happen.” Luis Matias, Researcher of Tectonic and Seismic Risk at the Dom Luiz Institute in Portugal, said: “In the Gulf of Cadiz, several faults could cause an earthquake any time.”
floor while the security post was on the first floor. In 2015, a total of 324 government employees worked at the police station, but the report flagged the difficulty of monitoring the cells, which have a combined potential occupancy of 12 detainees. The ministry also referred to the suicide attempt of another detainee in a shared cell on March 26, 2014, using a strip of blanket – the same method Abbott employed. After 17 months, the UK investigation concludes that there is no evidence to suggest that the Benidorm Police Department acted on any of the Interior Ministry's recommendations. However, a spokesman for the Spanish National Police maintains that at least “some” of the measures have been implemented. The UK report on Antony Abbott’s death, which will be sent to the British Foreign Minister, Boris Johnson, demands that measures be adopted to guarantee the security of detainees. “How can a detainee tear a blanket into pieces to hang himself in a police station?” asks Corless’ lawyer María Ángeles Reyes Bernal, who is preparing to claim “significant” damages from the Spanish Interior Ministry. Corless, now 30 years old, subsequently denied Abbott was being abusive to her on the night of his arrest and stated that they were planning to marry. She was able to both bring Abbot’s body back to the UK and pay her lawyer through crowdfunding, which raised €7,000.
Director of the film, Fernando Arroyo, suggests that the Great Lisbon earthquake of 1755, which created a tsunami that killed more than 10,000 people, could be repeated in the future. “The only reality is that no scientist in the world can claim that it will not be repeated in the short term because there are no indicators in the area,” he said. “It would affect hundreds of thousands of people and cause very high economic losses. “For days, large areas could not be evacuated, there would be no electricity, no communications, no water, and entire cities such as Cadiz would have to be evacuated.” Experts have said systems need to be put in place to prepare for the event. Mario Lopes, Professor at Technical Superior Institute in Lisbon, said: “Politicians know about the seismic risk and they know it can be reduced, but they do nothing.”
Brit papers fuel feud in Gibraltar row The Sun, Britain’s top-selling newspaper and a fervent supporter of Brexit, has taken aim at Spain over the country’s long-standing claim on Gibraltar with a front-page headline on Tuesday that misspells señores: “Up yours senors!” – a reference to its legendary 1990 “Up yours Delors!” front page in response to the then president of the European Commission’s perceived attempts to impose European federalism on the United Kingdom. Inside its “Gibraltar Campaign” edition, readers of the Rupert Murdochowned paper were given a special pullout poster with a photograph featuring a young woman waving a Union Jack in front of Gibraltar and bearing the legend: “Hands off our Rock” The Sun spelled out its position over the British Overseas Territory ceded by Spain to Britain in 1713 under the Treaty of Utrecht in a column in which it said: “Of course Britain shouldn’t go to war with Spain over Gibraltar. But nor will we sit quietly while Madrid launches its latest ridiculous attempt to claim the territory.” That said, the tone of Tuesday’s edition is more moderate than Monday’s, when former editor Kelvin MacKenzie described Spaniards as “donkey rogerers.” In a piece headlined “The Spanish are off their Rioja over Gibraltar…so let’s put up a good ol’ British fight,” MacKenzie then calls on the UK government to increase defense spending, while proposing a series of measures to bring Madrid to heel. Among
them is imposing a tax on Rioja wine, denying Scotland fishing quotas to Spain, saying “Adiós, Manuel” to the 125,000 Spaniards working in the United Kingdom, cancelling the state visit by King Felipe and Queen Leticia, and telling “the 12 million Brits who head to Spain each year not to bother. All Spanish flights are denied airspace.” Some of Britain’s broadsheets have also joined in the fray. After former Conservative Party leader Michael Howard suggested to UK broadcaster Sky News that Prime Minister Theresa May would be prepared to go to war with Spain over Gibraltar, as her predecessor Margaret Thatcher did 35 years ago “with another Spanish-speaking country,” the Daily Telegraph undertook a review of Britain’s military capacity. The Royal Navy, concluded the conservative newspaper, is “far weaker” than it was during the Falklands War of 1982 against Argentina. Rear Admiral Chris Parry, a former director of operational capability at the UK Ministry of Defence, was cited as recommending that the government invest “appropriately” in Britain’s military capacity “if it wants to talk big” over Gibraltar. Parry, who served in the Falklands campaign, suggested Spain “learn from history” warning that Britain could “cripple” Spain militarily and still “singe the King of Spain’s beard,” a reference to the defeat of the Spanish Armada that
attempted to invade Britain in 1588. Such is the mood in some quarters in Britain, barely days after May formally triggered the country’s withdrawal from the European Union. The Prime Minister, speaking during a visit to Jordan and Saudi Arabia, made a plea for calm and ruled out any kind of armed conflict. Not all the British press has joined in the jingoism. But the reaction to Gibraltar has served, once again, to highlight the split that Brexit has produced in British society, with a substantial part of the population looking on in horror at their compatriots’ call to arms. Soft Brexit Giles Tremlett, a former correspondent for The Guardian and author of a number of books on Spain, writes in the paper about 500 years of rivalry between Britain and Spain. He argues that: “Spain is now the one most enamored of Britain. It wants a soft Brexit. It owns British banks, tolerates drunken tourists and is happy to have large populations of English people who do not speak its language – some of them undocumented, so much like illegal immigrants – on its coasts.” Spain wants Gibraltar back, notes Tremlett. “This does not mean it is about to invade. In fact, all it wants is a veto on future deals between Gibraltar and the EU.” Highlighting the irony that The Sun and others ignore, he concludes: “Thanks to Brexit, it now has that.”

Spanish property interest hits three-year high Interest in Spanish property surged to a three-year high at the start of 2017, reveals TheMoveChannel.com’s latest Hotspots Index. The report, which charts the most searched-for locations on the international property portal, saw Malaga soar to first place in Q1 2017 - the first time Spain has ever ranked in the number one spot. Malaga accounted for 4.01 percent of all searches on the international portal in the first three months of 2017, climbing 18 positions from Q4 2016 to knock Italy's Florence off its perch. This is the first time in 18 months that Italy has not topped TheMoveChannel.com's Hotspots Index. Almeria was the second most sought-after location on the site, with 3.56 per cent of searches, followed by Tenerife (3.40 percent) and, down three places, Florence (2.63 percent). Benidorm completed the top five with 2.53 percent of searches. Indeed, Spain was home to eight out of the 10 most popular locations in Q1 2017, the highest percentage of the Top 10 ever held by a single country since Hotspots Index records began in Q4 2014. Spain was also responsible for 13 out of the Top 15.
Portugal was home to 8 of the Top 50, ahead of Italy (5) and France (3). Portugal’s most popular hotspots were Albufeira (14th), Cascais (18th) and Alvor (19th). Interest in Italy was fuelled by Florence (4th), Rome (8th) and Verona (27th). France's most sought-after hotspot was Paris (15th), highlighting the capital's importance as a magnet for romantic lifestyle buyers and a safe haven for wealthy investors. Thailand’s Pattaya climbed two places in the chart, attracting the 16th biggest share of searches. Greece's Athens was the 45th most popular hotspot, while the USA accounted for one hotspot: Detroit, ranked in 33rd. Spain, though, dominated buyers’ wish lists at the start of the year. The country was home to 31 of TheMoveChannel.com’s Top 50 hotspots, more than double its share of the index in Q4 2016 and an all-time high for any country. The figures follow Spain’s similar rise in TheMoveChannel.com's latest Top of the Props report, which saw the country account for 14.02 per cent of all enquiries on the site in February 2016 - its largest share of activity since 2013. Indeed, new data from Spain’s Land Registry shows that sales of property increased 19 per cent in January year-on-year to reach the
highest number of transactions since January four years ago.
Popular “Spain is undoubtedly the flavour of the month,” says Dan Johnson, Director of TheMoveChannel.com. “Searches and enquiries are both at highs not seen for several years, showing that foreign buyers are actively seeking opportunities in Spain and are following through on those searches. Agents have reported a slowdown in enquiries from British buyers since the Brexit vote, but expat favourite Benidorm’s position in Q1’s Top 5 hotspots shows that there is still interest from the UK, despite the pound's weakness against the euro. “Foreign buyers are still drawn primarily to tourist hotspots, such as the Costa Blanca and Malaga, where they are helping to drive property prices up. With Spain’s economy growing, though, business hubs such as Barcelona are also fuelling overseas demand. Spain’s housing market is still not recovering at the same rate across the whole country, but with property values starting to rebound, the promise of capital growth and the country’s timeless lifestyle appeal mean that Spanish real estate has rarely appeared so attractive.”
ARE YOU LIVING COMFORTABLY?
Anyone that reads my blogs every week, knows how I’m always saying about de-cluttering the home, before you list your property for sale. But there are occasions when people can take this to the extreme, and remove every last piece of “life” inside the property. Just because your house is on the market for sale, doesn’t mean to say you can’t still live comfortably. I once saw a home that the owner had cleared away every sign of existence, and to say the lounge furniture looked like they were sitting on tea chests, is mild compared to how it really looked. It gave the impression of living in a warehouse, not a home. So imagine what a buyer would think. You need to make sure the property remains homely. It’s ok to think that the buyer will want to put their own stamp on it later, but you’ve got to tempt them first, and presentation will do it. Buyers are willing to pay more if they feel emotionally connected to a house – on average staged homes sell for a 5-10% higher price. It’s always harder to sell a home that is empty, but I do understand that sometimes this just can’t be helped. So under these circumstances, you need to make sure that everything is up to scratch, like freshly painted walls and cleaned thoroughly. Buyers won’t have any furnishings to fix their eyes on, so they will automatically be looking for any defects in the home. Make sure the house is bright and if you’re leaving curtains, they must be clean. If at all possible, ask a few friends if they have any extra pieces of furniture, that you could borrow, just to help stage the home. Pictures, flowers in vases on tables, a clean rug on the floor, always makes a warm welcome. It’s not just about the inside of the home, you need to focus your attention on the outside too.

Make sure the pathways are cleaned, maybe they need pressure washing. Sweep away any fallen leaves, and trim back any overgrown plants. Buyers – if you’re looking at empty houses, you need to bring your imagination with you on the viewing appointment, as this could be your future home you’ll be looking at. It can be difficult to imagine where furniture could be placed, and if you can even fit all of your favourite furnishings in the room. All valid questions, but with a little planning, you can easily work everything out. Did you know that Ikea have a “design your room” programme online, that lets you place your furniture within a “virtual room?” All you need are the room sizes! So just be open minded when viewing an empty property, it may not just be a contender, it could be YOUR next home!

Spanish police raid Assad family's assets He’s changed
It takes two to tango
My husband of 30 years is displaying some very strange behaviour lately. He has become very withdrawn, won’t talk to me, and goes out a lot at night by himself. I have asked him if there is anyone else, and he says no, but that he needs some freedom right now. When he goes out he is dressed up and has bought new clothes. He is very secretive with his phone and is constantly on it texting. He is middle aged and I wonder whether he is having a mid-crisis.
My wife has recently admitted to an affair after I spotted her at our local shopping centre with a work colleague. She says she was being pursued by this man at work, who coerced her in to initially going out for coffee with him, but then pestered her for more. From what she says he has been very persistent and I blame him entirely because she has done nothing to encourage him. I want her to go to HR to report him and quit her job, but she won’t.
Rifaat al-Assad
This is not normal behaviour, and if were you I would not be fobbed off. Him saying that he needs some freedom implies that you are keeping him imprisoned. You are a married couple, and he owes you an explanation. He would be able to live this life if he were single, and perhaps that is actually what he wants? It is not acceptable in a marriage. I would look in to it more to see if there IS in fact someone else.
I would be very suspicious of how your wife is painting this affair if I were you. It all seems a little one-sided with no blame attached to her. She did not have to enter into this relationship, and no one forced her. She has lied to you at the times she was meeting him, and so has been deceptive. She is also reluctant to report any harassment at work. So I am afraid I would have to say that it seems a little naïve to suggest she has done no wrong and was forced in to the situation.

Police in southern Spain have staged raids targeting assets of the family of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, a judicial source said. The raids, in the Puerto Banus marina area of the plush resort of Marbella, are the result of a corruption investigation launched in France against Assad's uncle, Rifaat al-Assad. The assets of Rifaat al-Assad and his family in Spain are valued at 691 million euros, the source said, adding that “all these properties have been seized.” “Judge Jose de la Mata is coordinating the judicial operation against Rifaat al-Assad, uncle of the current president of Syria, for money laundering in Puerto Banus and Marbella,” the
source said. In 1984, Rifaat al-Assad was forced into exile for trying to overthrow his older brother, the late Syrian dictator Hafez alAssad. He had received 300 million dollars of state cash which he used to buy real estate in France, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Curacao, according to Spanish justice. French and Spanish authorities have been cooperating on the case and Spain opened an investigation on the back of the one in France, where authorities suspect Rifaat al-Assad of misuse of Syrian public funds and money laundering. In a statement, Rifaat al-Assad, now aged 79, and his family retorted that they had “never benefited from financing that in any way wronged the Syrian state and its people.” “They question the timing of these coordinated judicial actions, 33 years later, at a time when their country is suffering more than ever and where Rifaat al-Assad's voice should be heard to contribute to find a peaceful solution to the Syrian conflict,” it read. Madrid authorities say the Spanish probe established that Rifaat al-Assad and his family had
503 properties in their portfolio, ranging from holiday villas to plush hotel apartments -- almost all in and around Marbella. One residence, ‘La Maquina’ at Benahavis just outside Marbella is worth an estimated 60 million euros. The investigating magistrate has frozen 16 people'’s bank accounts and a further 76 accounts in connection with the case, the judicial source said. First charged in France last June, Rifaat al-Assad holds some 90 million euros worth of property assets in France, including an office block in the east-central city of Lyon, investigators say. He has previously said that much of his wealth stems from gifts bestowed by the Saudi royal family, which he says gave him political backing in the 1980s. Last October, he told French authorities that former Saudi kings Fahd and Abdallah had provided those gifts, according to a source close to the French probe. The initial probe was triggered by an activist group, which represents victims of financial crime. Rifaat al-Assad insists he does not keep close tabs on his property holdings.

Spain's central bank ups 2017 growth forecast Spain’s economic growth will be stronger than predicted in 2017 but the country's public deficit will overshoot what Madrid promised to the European Union, the central bank said Monday. In a statement, the bank said Spain's economy would grow 2.8 percent this year, faster than the 2.5 percent it had previously anticipated.
"The economy has in the first months of 2017 performed better than anticipated in December," it explained. After a severe crisis sparked when a property bubble burst in 2008, Spain is on the road to recovery, and registered growth of 3.2 percent last year, double the eurozone average. But on a more pessimistic note, the central bank said it foresaw that Spain's
Channel 4
public deficit would drop only to 3.3 percent of economic output this year - higher than the 3.1 percent Madrid has promised Brussels. Spain has repeatedly overshot its public deficit target as it tries to go below an EU-imposed ceiling of 3.0 percent. In August, after it became apparent the country would once again be unable to meet its target, the EU gave Spain an two extra years to bring its deficit to below the ceiling. It then agreed to a deficit of 3.1 percent in 2017 and 2.2 percent in 2018. Where growth is concerned, the central bank said Spain's economy would continue onwards and upwards until at least 2019. But it warned that a potential rise in interest rates, a risk of increased protectionism around the world, as well as uncertainty linked to Brexit and upcoming elections in Europe could weigh on growth.

Galapagos BBC1 - 10.00pm
In the culmination of this 1,000km scientific expedition aboard the Alucia, Liz Bonnin and the team of experts journey south to visit the oldest islands in the Galapagos to see first-hand the impact that humans have had on this pristine wilderness. On the island of Isabela, Liz descends into a spectacular vertical lava cave. Deep inside, she discovers how this hidden world might even provide an answer to how it could be possible to inhabit other planets. On Santa Cruz, Liz comes face to face with the effects of man as she explores the scalesia forests and meets scientists who are tracking the invasive species spreading throughout the islands. She also checks in on a giant tortoise population whose ancient migration pathways have come under threat. Finally, Liz dives into the deep blue waters to witness the birth of a brand new island. Coming full circle, Liz and the team are able to reflect on the importance of their missions which will help to protect the Galapagos Islands.

Varicose veins are a problem which can endanger your health, but you cannot deny that they are also a major cosmetic problem. Our self-esteem can be severely damaged and hinder our social relations, pushing us to isolate ourselves socially to hide our problem. Spring and early summer are the worst time of year for those who suffer, because as the heat starts we wear shorter clothes, revealing varicose veins, showing more than ever, on skin which is white after all the sunless winter. It is in these moments that we remember them and we decided on treatment to solve our health and our image. But unfortunately, medicine does not have a pill that does away with varicose veins immediately. All effective treatments we know need to act directly on the diseased vein and cause an alteration that needs time to heal. Of all the treatments available for removal of varicose veins (surgery, sclerosis, laser, radiofrequency, etc.) the most effective for varicose veins with aesthetic significance is generically known as sclerosis, and involves the direct injection of medicinal agents in the vein we want to heal. The best agent for this purpose is the Polidocanol (only authorized in Spain) for their excellent results and low complication rate. We use it in combination with vitamins and
Channel 4
nutrients through a method we call "Blastogenesis" which achieves optimal aesthetic result and a lower incidence of recurrence of new varices, recovering many of these diseased veins instead of destroying definitely. Any type of treatment that is applied in a varicose vein until the desired result is obtained takes at least 2 or 3 months. During this time the treatment is set into motion by the natural healing and tissue remodeling to achieve the desired result. In our method, the varicose vein which is subjected to treatment should greatly reduce its diameter to be similar to that before becoming ill, but with a much tougher wall that will prevent re-expanding once it recovers the passage of blood through it. The inflammatory phenomenon that takes place can be made visible on the skin through the discoloration and "bumps" throughout the duration of this process. Therefore, to ensure that the aesthetics of our legs are perfect for the summer, which is when we show them, we must start treatment as soon as possible to ensure that our body has enough time to reshape everything and our appearance has been repaired completely. Now is the time to remember! Tel: 966 721 687. See our main advert on pages 56 & 57.

The Imitation Game - Channel 4 - 10.00 pm Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Alan Turing in Morten Tyldum’s intense Oscar-winning drama exploring the life of the socially awkward mathematician, Second World War code-breaker, father of the modern computer and demonised homosexual. Such was the secrecy under which Turing worked to break the Nazis' secret communications codes that his outstanding contribution to the war effort was unknown when, in 1952, he was prosecuted for gross indecency and chemically castrated, a punishment that may have contributed to his presumed suicide two years later. The film's emphasis is on the codebreaking at Bletchley Park, with Commander Denniston reluctantly recruiting the apparently arrogant Turing to the cause.

Police urge caution over new Airbnb scam The scammers use the name of the company in fake email addresses and encourage users to send money by bank transfer and National Police are fearing a wave of complaints during Easter Week after the new scam has claimed numerous victims. The scammers target victims through accommodation rental site Airbnb. “In essence this isn't a new scam,” said National Police head of Cyber Crimes. “The difference is now they are using Airbnb.” The scammers add listings of attractive
properties at competitive prices, claim for one reason or another that they can't show the property, then direct ‘clients’ to send a deposit via bank transfer through fraudulent emails from addresses bearing the company's name (such as airbnb@grupo-europa.com or airbnb@rents-confirm.com). A ‘mule’ then withdraws the money from these accounts, before sending it on via Western Union or MoneyGram after taking a commission of around 10 per cent. “These email addresses are servers that allow them to be eliminated without
leaving a trace,” said the officer responsible for investigating these crimes, though the criminals are believed to be located in Eastern Europe and Africa. “Anyone who knows how Airbnb works knows that they never ask for bank transfers,” he continued, urging users to keep all transactions and communication within the platform so they can be monitored and are protected. If you suspect an ad go to the police suggest running the images through Google to see if they have been posted before.
Cash raised for Huntington's Disease Cafe-Bar Almoradi held its first event at its new premises in Calle Mayor, Almoradi last week, in aid of Huntington's Disease Association. Fundraisers enjoyed a traditional ‘Afternoon Tea’ of sandwiches, savouries and home-made cakes, raising a muchneeded 212 euros for this not so well known charity. The next fundraising event in aid of the charity will be the ever popular Fun Quiz on Saturday 22nd April at 8pm. Tickets cost just €5 per person, which includes tapas. To book tickets please contact Marion Smith on 651 043 681. Huntington's Disease, which is often called HD, is a hereditary disorder of the central nervous system. It is a terminal illness, affecting both men and women, causing a wide range of symptoms. There is currently no cure for HD. If you would like more information, or would like to get involved with organising a fundraising event in your area, then please contact Marion Smith on 651 043 681

Spanish wine fit for a Pope For 17 years, the small family-run Heras Cordón winery has been the exclusive supplier from Spain’s legendary La Rioja winemaking area to the Vatican, with 2,000 bottles now making their way to Rome via Madrid every year. The tradition started with John Paul II who opened the doors of the Holy See to the Fuenmayor-based winemakers after a contest aimed at choosing which La Rioja winery would win the prestigious contract. Benedict XVI extended the contract and now Pope Francis – who comes from a completely different wine culture in Argentina – has given his seal of approval to Heras Cordón’s blend of tempranillo, graciano and mazuelo (carignan) grapes which are grown in established vineyards between Lapuebla de Labarca and Fuenmayor. Bottles of the wine destined for the Vatican are emblazoned with the personal crest of arms of Pope Francis and also bear the Latin phrase ‘Misericordias Domini in aeternum cantabo’ (I will sing the mercies of the lord forever). The ever-stronger Vatican connection has been a shot in the arm for Heras Cordón, opening the door to markets in countries with deep Catholic roots such as the Philippines, Dominican Republic, Poland, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay, Colombia and Chile, among
others. It has also been a boon for business in Argentina, the home country of Pope Francis, who enjoys a wine from La Rioja although his origins would point more towards his favouring the white Torrontes and red Malbec varieties of his South American homeland.
embossed with his coat of arms. Heras Cordón wines are already commonplace in wine shops and restaurants in Russia, as well as in Japan, Korea, China and Hong Kong. The majority of the 700,000 bottles it produces are for export. Alongside the barrels in the winery are the
Other markets have proved more resistant, however. “I met with the bishop of Havana and with a relative of Fidel Castro and they liked the wine, but weren’t in favour of unnecessary spending,” says the winery’s export manager Víctor Zabalza. A possible deal with the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, is also on the cards, given the good relations between Kirill and Pope Francis, but remains in limbo for now. Heras Cordón has already presented the Russian Orthodox leader with a bottle of its wine
wine ranks containing vintages enjoyed every year by luminaries such as former Spanish president José María Aznar and the Spanish European Commissioner Miguel Arias Cañete. Soccer clubs such as Seville’s Real Betis, Bilbao-based Athletic and the Basque teams Deportivo Alavés and Eibar are also regular customers. “We maintain our traditions in modern installations,” explains José Luis Heras Cordón. In one of the columns of the winery is the pulpit where, by papal order, new vintages are blessed.

New 50€ note in circulation
The new-style €50 note is now in circulation and has hit the shops and banks in Spain, but the ‘old’ version will still be issued while stocks last, according to the Central European Bank (BCE). Along with the new €5, €10 and €20 notes which have gradually come into being over the past few years, the latest edition of the €50 includes better anti-forgery features, such as a clear plastic window with a hologram of the goddess Europa visible on either face, which becomes transparent against the light. It also, like the other three, includes the number of its denomination in emerald-green, which turns blue when the note is tipped slightly. The new euro banknotes have been brought in over time to make it harder to produce
counterfeit cash, although a side issue is that of the countries which joined the European Union after it expanded in 2002, features of which are now incorporated into the design. They include the word ‘Euro’ written in cyrillic and in Greek, and the BCE's initials reflecting how these are referred to in nine different languages, as opposed to five as they were on the old notes. The map on the reverse side shows all the member States, including those which joined since 2002. It is not expected that a future version slicing off the UK will be brought out, particularly as Britain does not use the common currency. The creator of the Eurozone's 17-billion-plus banknotes in their new format is German graphic designer Reinhold Gerstetter.
Future ‘new’ notes will be the green €100 and yellow €200 versions, although these are rarely seen these days in Spain due to difficulties in changing them in shops and petrol stations. The €500 note will not come out in the new style, since the BCE announced last May that it would stop minting them as they have limited practical use, but are frequently the subject of large-scale tax evasion. As yet, none of the oldstyle notes have ceased to be legal tender, and the BCE says it may or may not decide to invalidate them ‘in the long-term future’, but giving plenty of warning so individuals and companies can change them. The €50 note is the most-used in the Eurozone, with over 8.5 billion of them in circulation – about 45 percent of all euro notes, ahead of the €20 with just under 3.4 billion, and the €10 and €100 with around 2.2 billion each. This may not be the case by individual countries, however – in member States with much higher prices and living costs, larger-denomination notes will typically be used, whilst in countries with lower wages and cheaper goods and services, €50 buys a great deal more and are less likely to be used.

Business Profile
Half Price Health Check Offer at Premier British-led Medical Practice Medcare is the Costa Blanca’s only British Medical Practice with clinics in Benijofar and Alfaz del Pi. By offering a full aesthetic, cosmetic, dental and medical service, Medcare serves both the ex-pat and local community. One of Medcare’s most popular promotions is the half price health check. Comprehensive blood tests will be performed - screening for cervical, bowel and prostate cancer, as well as many other conditions such as diabetes, liver and kidney disease, anaemia, infection, bowel cancer, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and thyroid problems. Patients will also receive a nutrition and lifestyle review, ECG and BMI check by the Practice Nurse, followed by a detailed consultation with Practice doctor, Dr Hussain who will also perform a skin cancer and mole check. Complimentary consultations with Medcare´s other specialists are also included in the check. Why are health checks needed and why are they so important? 'Tragically, too many people continue to die unnecessarily because disease is detected far too late for want of a few simple tests,' said Medcare's Dr Hussain. 'Many British ex-pats on the Costa Blanca seem to be particularly vulnerable because of language barriers or not knowing what health screening is available - meaning that they are even less likely to attend for screening'. Routine health checks and early diagnosis can stop some of the biggest killers from claiming lives, including heart
disease, prostate cancer, breast cancer and cervical cancer. Medcare patient, Roy, had a health check which showed that he had a heart arrhythmia needing medication, as well as a slightly high prostate level. ‘If I had not had a Well Man check at Medcare I don’t know what would have become of me'. Dr Hussain advised the reading be checked again in three months and when this turned out to be even higher, the doctor sent him to a urologist who diagnosed prostate cancer. Surgery was quickly scheduled and thankfully Roy’s PSA reading dropped right down. He´s confident that if it hadn´t been for the body MOT, he would not be alive today
and could not thank our doctor enough for finding the heart arrhythmia and picking up the prostate problem. Getting a health check could be the most important thing you do this year, so don’t waste time. Either visit your own GP or book your half-price Medcare Health Check by calling 966 860 258 or email doctors@medcarespain.com. Alternatively, visit Medcare’s website at www.medcarespain.com and sign up for our newsletter which will keep you updated of offers and promotions.

For example, car insurance must be for fully comprehensive cover with an annual premium exceeding 400€; Home insurance premiums for cover on the mainland and the Balearics must exceed 200€ or 150€ if the home is in the Canary Islands; and finally, Life Insurance premiums must have a value greater than 150€. One advantage in choosing Liberty Seguros is also the fact that you can discuss your requirements with a true professional agent or broker face-to-face (of which Liberty has over 300), in your own language, making the whole procedure much more personal than doing things over a telephone. Liberty Seguros provides insurance not
only for car, home, life, but also for pet, business and commercial, leisure like golf, marine, and personal injury; almost anything you may need to do with insurance from one leading company. That’s why Liberty Seguros is considered
the expat’s number one choice. For those who need the whereabouts of a Liberty broker or agent, they simply have to call 91 342 25 49 or visit www.libertyexpatriates.es <http://www.libertyexpatriates.es>

Halitosis…
A bit of an embarrassing condition really and a strange one because research has shown that out of the patients attending clinic for this condition 16per cent didn’t have the condition at all. How much breath smells depends on the number of bacteria living in the mouth at any given time. Poor dental hygiene and gum disease are the main culprits of causing smelly breath. Sometimes overcrowded teeth can also add to the problem and the main area the smell comes from is actually the tongue. Certain diets where the body takes only protein foods can make for smelly breath. One of the reasons for this is that when we eat food this stimulates the mouth to produce saliva and this helps to reduce bad breath, again research has found that eating can reduce the breath smell for up to two hours If you are dieting then please don’t stop the diet simply drink more water. The recommended water intake for healthy adults is 2.25 litres per day, not many of us even get close to this amount. There may be medical reasons for bad breath including stomach bacteria called helicobacter which is often associated with gastric reflux. It can also be caused by infected tonsil beds, blocked sinuses and diabetes. There is a breath assessment test available (not available on the NHS) and if you go to www.MedicineNet.com you can read all about the hydrogen test and other interesting issues surrounding gastric health. So what self help can we try ? Brushing the teeth correctly at least twice each day and cleaning the tongue gently at the front and back can get rid of a lot of the bacteria, using a mouthwash will also help.

Sue via email asks: Dear Aunty, I have a shabby old tower which will be just for downloading torrents (films and music) but a big problem that the hard disk drive is only 320GB and it fills up within a week! When the films have completed their downloaded I transfer them off the laptop and onto an external drive but is there any way I can upgrade the internal hard drive to a 2TB? Aunty Says: You probably could Sue but some older computers and versions of Windows do have a limit to how large a disk you can fit, plus it will be some work reinstalling Windows + all your apps etc. You may find using a USB external hard disk easier (and cheaper) and there is really no need to have an engineer fit it. You can tell your torrent downloader app to use the USB hard disk as its storage, rather than the local C: drive. Jenny via email asks; I have an old Windows Vista laptop and suddenly when accessing my HSBC online banking I get a warning popup from the Internet that says
‘Cookies for this site are blocked’ is that a good thing? What exactly is a ‘Cookie’? Aunty Says; The reason they are blocked Jenny is because your browser (Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer) is set to block certain cookies. A cookie is basically a small piece of information that a website puts on your computer so that it can remember something about your last visit and details at a later time. Blocking them used to be a popular thing but lately a lot of websites won’t function properly if you don’t allow their cookies onto your PC. Check you have all of your Windows Updates installed, which you can do by clicking once on the start button and typing Windows Update and press enter. Also check all of your antivirus and antispyware apps are healthy and also that your browser program is up to date, which you can easily do by downloading and installing the latest version from their website. Well that’s all for another, please email me your questions to auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and I will see what I can do.

Tales from the Top Flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com
I won’t get too many more opportunities to make fun of Sunderland as a Premier League team so, out of respect, they are opening today’s column. David Moyes said before the game that if his side won all their games then they would stay up. Seb Larssen obviously wasn’t too keen on that idea as he picked up a red card as Sunderland slipped to a 3-0 defeat to United. Following weeks of being battered by Jose, what better time for United’s strikers to face Sunderland and get their confidence back before the crucial game with Anderlecht on Thursday. As for Moyes, he is just weeks away from cementing his place at the same management level as Steve Bruce. Zlatan, well he is just Benjamin Button apparently. Whoa there, Liverpool. You are supposed to grasp draws or defeats from the jaws of victory, not the other way round. Stoke led after Jon Walters was given the freedom of the Potteries. Liverpool were denied a penalty moments before, but it was worth it just to see the sarcastic laughter and applause from Klopp to the officials. Liverpool spun it around however, with Mignolet making amends for his season and Firmino scoring a stunner. As for the champions elect, Conte claimed he was enjoying Spurs’ relentless pursuit, albeit it a pursuit in
vain from a safe distance. Chelsea were given a game by Bournemouth, but the Cherries were killed off by a free kick by Marcos Alonso. What is it with leftfooted free kicks? They are so much more pleasing on the eye than rightfooted ones. Sorry Becks, it is true. Tottenham’s pursuit continued with a 4-0 win at White Hart Lane over
there will be no need for a last minute collapse allowing Arsenal to finish higher than them once more. Manchester City eased by Hull, 3-1. My biggest learning point from the game was that Fabian Delph still played for City. Oh, and that there is no way City will win the league if they think Jesus Navas is a right back.
Watford, who never, ever win at White Hart Lane. Dele Alli continues to be the finest English player around, providing that thing “real football men” crave called “end product”. Is it possible he looks even better with Kane out of the way? I think, by now, I should be taking Spurs seriously as contenders for second place. They must know they are not going to win the title, therefore
Raheem Sterling looked quite good again, though. Not that the tabloids will report that. West Ham beat Swansea and Bilic noted, “there is work still to be done”. Really, Slaven? Are you sure a 1-0 win
The Orange Tree Golf Society @ Hacienda Del Riquelme
The fully booked society all met at The Orange Tree for breakfast before setting off to the golf course. An extra tee time was needed due to the extended number of playing members. We also welcome a familiar face and new member to the society, who then took
some prizes home. All members managed to arrive early this time when the captain gave out the instructions. He decided on a pairs beterball stapleford competition. The weather was lovely and all chose to wear shorts. The course is in lovely
against a relegation threatened side who were full of fear according to their manager doesn’t mean you are a finished article? I can see why you got that vote of confidence now. The win does ease the fear of West Ham going down, or the hope, depending on where you sit. Boro and Burnley played out a 0-0 draw that you can only imagine if you are into self-harming. Still, it was nice for Steve Agnew to get at least one point before they bring in a proper manager for next season. I don’t think even West Brom or Southampton care about what happens between now and the end of the season, hence my lack of interest in the outcome of their match. Southampton won 1-0 apparently, for the few of you that do read this purely for their respective results. Finally, what a game Everton and
condition and the playing conditions were even better. We all returned back to The Orange Tree bar and restaurant for the presentation and refreshments. It was lovely to see EVERY playing member return back, a few refreshment were taken and we must also thank Chris and his staff for the fabulous food and service. The prize giving was then undertaken. The winners (has seen in the photo) were Jack Sheridan and Martin Lowe with 43 points, 2nd were Nigel Cawthra and John McCleod with 36 points and Andy Shuttle and Fred Noakes also with 36 points. NTP,s went to John Downie (5th), John Burgess (7th), Jack Sheridan (15th) and John McCleod (17th). The next society event is on Tuesday 18th April, names now being taken. The entry sheet is on the notice board within the restaurant, or you can email on orangetree@hotmail.es Full fixtures, reports and all other golf related news can be found on the website under the golf society banner at www.orangetree-caboroig.com
Leicester delivered. Craig Shakespeare’s honeymoon is very much over and no doubt the rot will now kick on. What if the first six matches he won are the only six matches he gets to win? No, that won’t happen. We need a little bit of adversity for Craig now so we can see how he reacts to it. Leicester will no doubt be written off against Atletico as a result, and then revive themselves thrillingly on Wednesday with the winning goal being scored by journeyman Danny Simpson. Or something like that. The league season has finished it’s dinner and is very much in the party game phase now, the music has temporarily stopped and who is sitting in what chair? Nothing like a totally mixed metaphor to end the column, right? Chelsea and Spurs must have the top two spots under lock and key, meaning Liverpool, City, United and, yes, maybe even Arsenal will claim the two remaining top four spots. Each week makes it look more likely that the top six will end in their current shape meaning doom and gloom for Arsene. At the bottom, it feels like Swansea and Hull City will play their own version of pass the parcel with that remaining relegation spot. It is too close to call, as ever
Las Salinas Petanca presentation dinner The ninth presentation, and Dinner was held at the Los Cucalos Restaurant, in Los Dolses, a venue well suited to cope with 300+functions.

Lewis Hamilton led the Chinese Grand Prix from start to finish, then waxed lyrical about “enjoying the fight” with Sebastian Vettel. Due to my inherent lack of interest in F1 I haven’t
bothered digging deeper to see if they have actually had a fight, or Lewis was being slightly more metaphorical than that. Either way, most sports are at their finest when there is a bitter rivalry to hand, so long may it continue. One for Arthur won the Grand National. I am pretty sure this isn’t the horse I tipped, so I apologise to all of you who did stake your pensions on it.
TIGHT LINES Terry Screen
Still, at least we are coming into the warmer months, right? It won’t be too cold on the street. The English summer must be near as the County cricket season is underway. There was a marvellous hundred for Trott at the Oval. Any more of that from the Warwickshire bat and there will be talk of a Test recall. Gloucestershire posted the kind of score normally seen in Torrevieja, as they were skittled for 61 and lost to Kent by 300 plus runs. James Anderson also had some fun with the bat, which was nice for him. It’s still ages until the Tests get underway, so plenty of time for people to stake their claim, play well or terribly and then sit back as the obvious XI takes the field at Lords. There was the Masters golf over the weekend as well but, let’s be honest, there’s enough golf in this paper so I shall let someone else do the honours on that one.
RODS & REELS
We fished our 14th and final round of the Winter Series at the El Bosquet Complex on the 5th April. The Carp seemed reluctant to feed, possibly due to them spawning at present, Dave Hoare was back to taking the top spot with a weight of over 17kgs with the two new
REAL MADRID LET TWO POINTS GET AWAY - BUT EXTEND LEAD The Madrid ‘derby’ saw Real and Atletico at almost full strength in the Bernabeu, and some highclass play in the first half was
dominated by the home side, with Oblak forced into a fine save at his near post by Cristiano Ronaldo’s drive, then again saving well from Benzema. Ronaldo saw another good shot headed off the line by Savic. At the other end Griezmann saw his long range shot well saved by Keylor. Halftime came, without a goal, but on 52 minutes, Pepe headed home to put Real ahead. Soon afterwards he was helped off after a collision with colleague Kroos, and found to have two cracked ribs. Real continued to be in charge until a fatal lapse after 85 minutes, when Griezmann ran
through to score a neat equalizer. Barcelona then visited Málaga with the chance of taking the lead in the title race. On the day, however, Michel’s side proved more than a match for the Catalan side, Sandro’s 32 minute goal stunning them. Even worse was the expulsion of Neymar, who received a red card, then made ‘inappropriate’ gestures as he left the field. Jony added a second as the minutes died away, and Barcelona end three points below the leaders, who have a game in hand. Sevilla closed in on Atletico’s third place when they beat Deportivo 4-2. Español beat Alavés by the only goal to move to within range of a European place, and Valencia put another nail in Granada’s coffin, as they eased themselves into mid-table. Villareal beat Athletic Bilbao 3-1 to move into fifth, and little Eibar had a fine win away at Celta to move into a coveted European spot above their illustrious
Basque neighbours. Osasuna registered a rare win, 2-1 over Leganés, but remain bottom. Second division leaders Levante got turned over by Getafe, themselves currently in a play-off spot, but remain way ahead of the field, despite second placed Girona’s win over Numancia. Local side Elche had a win over Sevilla Atletico to stay in the ‘comfort-zone’ of mid-table. In division 2B Alcoyano drew away at Ebro and remain in second place behind Barcelona B. In England, the top five teams all had wins, so Chelsea remain seven points clear of Spurs, who have Liverpool (who had a good away win at Stoke) and the two Manchester clubs. West Ham eased worries by beating downward-bound Swansea at home. Sheffield United and Doncaster Rovers won promotion from Leagues one and two respectively, with five games still to play. In tennis, both Britain and Spain departed from the Davis Cup, at the hands of France and Serbia respectively. It is difficult to regard Albert Ramos and Pablo Carreño as really representative of Spanish tennis! Malcolm Palmer

JAVIER CARRIÓN LIVES THE DREAM OF SPAIN SEVEN WITH THE RETURN TO WORLD SERIES This weekend the Hong Kong Qualifying Tournament was held for the 2017-2018 World Series, a five-continent circuit that brings together elite Rugby Seven teams. Spain, following its participation in the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, had as main objective to return to the HSBC Sevens World Series. In order to achieve this, it was necessary to reach the final in this qualifying tournament of 12 countries. After beating Guayana 47-5, Uruguay 36-0 and Papua New Guinea 15-0 in their group, the red rubber team managed to impose in the semi-final to Namibia by 33-0 and reach the final against upward Germany. The Germans began rehearsing through Heimpel, but in minute 6 a spectacular gallop of player vilero Javier Carrión ended with a hopeful mark. And in the second half was Paco Hernandez who sentenced the score with another try and its corresponding
transformation that led the lions to victory with 712 that gives them the place to dispute the World Series 2017-2018. A new triumph of the Spanish Selection of Seven directed by Pablo Feijoo, former player and captain of Spain. For his part, Javier Carrión remains an important part of this group for his dedication and experience in this type of competition, as he has been through the European Championships of the XV, the Rio Olympics and the previous years where Spain Seven already formed Part of the World Series. To return to the elite of this modality is an important accomplishment facing the Olympics in Japan 2020. But the sure jonense player that already has the head put in the quarterfinals of the Play Off of Ascent to Division of Honor that will take place the 23 April in Zarautz and the 30 April in the encounter of return in the Stadium of Villajoyosa.

CD Torrevieja - The hard way It was a big match in a big stadium, the Martinez Valero, but Torry came up short, finishing with nine players and nil points, ensuring their final five matches will be nail biting in the feral dog fight for third division survival.

Early exchanges at the superb Martinez Valero
It was a glorious afternoon for this contest which followed on from the Segunda clash between the first team of Elche and Sevilla Atlectico, which ended 3-2 to the hosts. Some fans remained to watch their second string, as the Torry supporters dribbed into the spacious ground to enjoy the luxuries of an international venue. The first half was fairly even with Lewis, as ever, showing his incisive nature and
thorn in the Torry flesh all match long. As the half progressed, Elche began to look the more menacing and invited more robust defending from Torry. Former Ilicitano player Pastor was the first in the book on 20 minutes as Torry tried to contain their hosts. They did so until the interval, both sides retiring with clean sheets to their credit. It was ten minutes into the second half when Lewis slid the ball to Molina who fired
home the opener. Molina was enjoying the wide open spaces of the Martinez Valero and having his best ever game in a Torry shirt. The lead lasted little more than five minutes when Llor pounced on a loose ball in the torry box and levelled the score. With that impetus, Elche Ilicitano pushed harder for the victory, which just keeps their promotion play off hopes alive. They got their just reward on 70 minutes when Leomar banged home the winner. Torry would not lie down and invigorated by fresh legs, they took the game to the opposition again. In the end, it was a penalty foul by Vicente Boix, another former Ilicitano graduate, which saw him dismissed from the field of play and the home side awarded the spot kick to wrap up the points. Jose Carlos denied them extending their lead, but Torry could find no more at the other end. In time added on, Javi Meca, who had been cautioned in the 33rd minute, picked up his second yellow card and Torry limped home with only nine men and a defeat that keeps them locked on 32 points with Bunol, 3-1 losers at Crevillente. Muro's second win on the bounce, sees them 4 points behind, and a creditable 1-1 draw for Almoradi against Novelda allows them to sustain hope of survivial on 27 points, each of these four teams all now with five games left to pull the

rabbit out of the hat. Torry entertain Almazora on Thursday night at the Nelson Mandela with a 5.30 kick off where they must resume winning ways. Almazora won at the weekend and now have a five point buffer between themselves and Torry, but along with Paterna and Recambios Colon (all grouped on 37 points) are not safe yet. Borriol lost at home whilst their President was winning the Masters in Augusta and sit on 39 points, still seeking a few more to guarantee survival. Torry play all four plus Crevillente in their five match
finishing run in. Now just how tense and exciting is that going to be!

And then there were two! CD Montesinos 5 - 0 CF Popular Orihuela
CD Montesinos team:- Dani, Juanes, Fernando, Manu, Carlos Lorente, Koko, Vazquinho, Fran, Alfredo, Carlos Ventura, Joao. Sub’s:- Rodrigo, Bashir, Maccan, Dario, Pley. Goals: Alfredo (Pen), Carlos Ventura, Vazquinho, Joao, Bashir CD Montesinos cruised to victory in front of their biggest ever crowd of 554 at the Campo Municipal where the home supporters were treated to a sometimes breath taking display of attacking football which swept away their tough tackling opponents who had to resort to strong arm tactics in an effort to try to control the “Monte” attack. Coming into this game at the top of the group and with just three matches left to play, CD Montesinos could have been forgiven for thinking that this would be one of their toughest matches yet. But the reality was that “Monte” were simply too
Alfie’s Golf Society Twenty seven members and guests from Alfie's GS travelled to the lovely La Torre GC for the March meeting and the inaugural playing for the Terry Owen Memorial trophy. But on arrival we were greeted by a dense blanket of fog. This meant an hour and a half delay, but once the sun broke through it was a lovely day and like myself most members found the vast amount of bunkers and sand a challenge. It was a very special day in Terry’s memory, which was made even more poignant by the arrival of Terry’s lovely wife Gill from the UK, who presented the trophy and didn’t leave a dry eye in
good for Popular and the 5-0 victory could and should have been greater. It also left the “Monte” faithful wondering how the visitors finished the game with all 11 players on the pitch after some very dubious tackling, mainly directed at top scorer Vazquinho. For the record, Alfredo opened the scoring from the penalty spot on 17 minutes after Vazquinho was hacked down inside the penalty area. Carlos Ventura scored the second with a header from a corner and Vaz himself made it 30 before the half time break. Second half goals from centre half Joao, again with a header from a corner kick and a fifth from substitute Bashir rounded off the scoring, although “Monte” could well have doubled that score-line missing a good number of chances. The only sour note of a game which saw a record attendance was the second half injury to CD Montesinos Fran who
was taken to hospital by Ambulance. Let´s hope his injury is not as bad as it looked. After this result, CD Montesinos stay at the top of Group 16 with 47 points from their 20 matches played. CD Benijofar are in second place with 44 points from their 21 matches played. In third place are Callosa “B” with 42 points from their 19 games played with CD Murada in fourth position with 40 points from their 19 matches played. CD Montesinos have two more matches to play. If they win both those games they will be crowned Champions and be promoted to the 1st Regional Division next season. With no matches this coming weekend due to the Easter Fiestas, our next game is away on the weekend of 22nd / 23rd of April. Time and date have yet to be announced so keep an eye on our website (www.cdmontesinos.com) or our facebook page (cdmontesinos) for further information.

The winning score of 103Pts were scored by the team of Lindsay Forbes, Marleen Billen, Peter Wickham and Mike Mahony.

Police urge caution over new Airbnb scam The scammers use the name of the company in fake email addresses and encourage users to send money by bank transfer and National Police are fearing a wave of complaints during Easter Week after the new scam has claimed numerous victims. The scammers target victims through accommodation rental site Airbnb. “In essence this isn't a new scam,” said National Police head of Cyber Crimes. “The difference is now they are using Airbnb.” The scammers add listings of attractive
properties at competitive prices, claim for one reason or another that they can't show the property, then direct ‘clients’ to send a deposit via bank transfer through fraudulent emails from addresses bearing the company's name (such as airbnb@grupo-europa.com or airbnb@rents-confirm.com). A ‘mule’ then withdraws the money from these accounts, before sending it on via Western Union or MoneyGram after taking a commission of around 10 per cent. “These email addresses are servers that allow them to be eliminated without
leaving a trace,” said the officer responsible for investigating these crimes, though the criminals are believed to be located in Eastern Europe and Africa. “Anyone who knows how Airbnb works knows that they never ask for bank transfers,” he continued, urging users to keep all transactions and communication within the platform so they can be monitored and are protected. If you suspect an ad go to the police suggest running the images through Google to see if they have been posted before.
Cash raised for Huntington's Disease Cafe-Bar Almoradi held its first event at its new premises in Calle Mayor, Almoradi last week, in aid of Huntington's Disease Association.

Spanish wine fit for a Pope For 17 years, the small family-run Heras Cordón winery has been the exclusive supplier from Spain’s legendary La Rioja winemaking area to the Vatican, with 2,000 bottles now making their way to Rome via Madrid every year. The tradition started with John Paul II who opened the doors of the Holy See to the Fuenmayor-based winemakers after a contest aimed at choosing which La Rioja winery would win the prestigious contract. Benedict XVI extended the contract and now Pope Francis – who comes from a completely different wine culture in Argentina – has given his seal of approval to Heras Cordón’s blend of tempranillo, graciano and mazuelo (carignan) grapes which are grown in established vineyards between Lapuebla de Labarca and Fuenmayor. Bottles of the wine destined for the Vatican are emblazoned with the personal crest of arms of Pope Francis and also bear the Latin phrase ‘Misericordias Domini in aeternum cantabo’ (I will sing the mercies of the lord forever). The ever-stronger Vatican connection has been a shot in the arm for Heras Cordón, opening the door to markets in countries with deep Catholic roots such as the Philippines, Dominican Republic, Poland, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay, Colombia and Chile, among
others. It has also been a boon for business in Argentina, the home country of Pope Francis, who enjoys a wine from La Rioja although his origins would point more towards his favouring the white Torrontes and red Malbec varieties of his South American homeland.
embossed with his coat of arms. Heras Cordón wines are already commonplace in wine shops and restaurants in Russia, as well as in Japan, Korea, China and Hong Kong. The majority of the 700,000 bottles it produces are for export. Alongside the barrels in the winery are the
Other markets have proved more resistant, however. “I met with the bishop of Havana and with a relative of Fidel Castro and they liked the wine, but weren’t in favour of unnecessary spending,” says the winery’s export manager Víctor Zabalza. A possible deal with the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, is also on the cards, given the good relations between Kirill and Pope Francis, but remains in limbo for now. Heras Cordón has already presented the Russian Orthodox leader with a bottle of its wine
wine ranks containing vintages enjoyed every year by luminaries such as former Spanish president José María Aznar and the Spanish European Commissioner Miguel Arias Cañete. Soccer clubs such as Seville’s Real Betis, Bilbao-based Athletic and the Basque teams Deportivo Alavés and Eibar are also regular customers. “We maintain our traditions in modern installations,” explains José Luis Heras Cordón. In one of the columns of the winery is the pulpit where, by papal order, new vintages are blessed.

New 50€ note in circulation
The new-style €50 note is now in circulation and has hit the shops and banks in Spain, but the ‘old’ version will still be issued while stocks last, according to the Central European Bank (BCE). Along with the new €5, €10 and €20 notes which have gradually come into being over the past few years, the latest edition of the €50 includes better anti-forgery features, such as a clear plastic window with a hologram of the goddess Europa visible on either face, which becomes transparent against the light. It also, like the other three, includes the number of its denomination in emerald-green, which turns blue when the note is tipped slightly. The new euro banknotes have been brought in over time to make it harder to produce
counterfeit cash, although a side issue is that of the countries which joined the European Union after it expanded in 2002, features of which are now incorporated into the design. They include the word ‘Euro’ written in cyrillic and in Greek, and the BCE's initials reflecting how these are referred to in nine different languages, as opposed to five as they were on the old notes. The map on the reverse side shows all the member States, including those which joined since 2002. It is not expected that a future version slicing off the UK will be brought out, particularly as Britain does not use the common currency. The creator of the Eurozone's 17-billion-plus banknotes in their new format is German graphic designer Reinhold Gerstetter.
Future ‘new’ notes will be the green €100 and yellow €200 versions, although these are rarely seen these days in Spain due to difficulties in changing them in shops and petrol stations. The €500 note will not come out in the new style, since the BCE announced last May that it would stop minting them as they have limited practical use, but are frequently the subject of large-scale tax evasion. As yet, none of the oldstyle notes have ceased to be legal tender, and the BCE says it may or may not decide to invalidate them ‘in the long-term future’, but giving plenty of warning so individuals and companies can change them. The €50 note is the most-used in the Eurozone, with over 8.5 billion of them in circulation – about 45 percent of all euro notes, ahead of the €20 with just under 3.4 billion, and the €10 and €100 with around 2.2 billion each. This may not be the case by individual countries, however – in member States with much higher prices and living costs, larger-denomination notes will typically be used, whilst in countries with lower wages and cheaper goods and services, €50 buys a great deal more and are less likely to be used.

Half Price Health Check Offer at Premier British-led Medical Practice Medcare is the Costa Blanca’s only British Medical Practice with clinics in Benijofar and Alfaz del Pi. By offering a full aesthetic, cosmetic, dental and medical service, Medcare serves both the ex-pat and local community. One of Medcare’s most popular promotions is the half price health check. Comprehensive blood tests will be performed - screening for cervical, bowel and prostate cancer, as well as many other conditions such as diabetes, liver and kidney disease, anaemia, infection, bowel cancer, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and thyroid problems. Patients will also receive a nutrition and lifestyle review, ECG and BMI check by the Practice Nurse, followed by a detailed consultation with Practice doctor, Dr Hussain who will also perform a skin cancer and mole check. Complimentary consultations with Medcare´s other specialists are also included in the check. Why are health checks needed and why are they so important? 'Tragically, too many people continue to die unnecessarily because disease is detected far too late for want of a few simple tests,' said Medcare's Dr Hussain. 'Many British ex-pats on the Costa Blanca seem to be particularly vulnerable because of language barriers or not knowing what health screening is available - meaning that they are even less likely to attend for screening'. Routine health checks and early diagnosis can stop some of the biggest killers from claiming lives, including heart
disease, prostate cancer, breast cancer and cervical cancer. Medcare patient, Roy, had a health check which showed that he had a heart arrhythmia needing medication, as well as a slightly high prostate level. ‘If I had not had a Well Man check at Medcare I don’t know what would have become of me'. Dr Hussain advised the reading be checked again in three months and when this turned out to be even higher, the doctor sent him to a urologist who diagnosed prostate cancer. Surgery was quickly scheduled and thankfully Roy’s PSA reading dropped right down. He´s confident that if it hadn´t been for the body MOT, he would not be alive today
and could not thank our doctor enough for finding the heart arrhythmia and picking up the prostate problem. Getting a health check could be the most important thing you do this year, so don’t waste time. Either visit your own GP or book your half-price Medcare Health Check by calling 966 860 258 or email doctors@medcarespain.com. Alternatively, visit Medcare’s website at www.medcarespain.com and sign up for our newsletter which will keep you updated of offers and promotions.

Halitosis…
A bit of an embarrassing condition really and a strange one because research has shown that out of the patients attending clinic for this condition 16per cent didn’t have the condition at all. How much breath smells depends on the number of bacteria living in the mouth at any given time. Poor dental hygiene and gum disease are the main culprits of causing smelly breath. Sometimes overcrowded teeth can also add to the problem and the main area the smell comes from is actually the tongue. Certain diets where the body takes only protein foods can make for smelly breath. One of the reasons for this is that when we eat food this stimulates the mouth to produce saliva and this helps to reduce bad breath, again research has found that eating can reduce the breath smell for up to two hours If you are dieting then please don’t stop the diet simply drink more water. The recommended water intake for healthy adults is 2.25 litres per day, not many of us even get close to this amount. There may be medical reasons for bad breath including stomach bacteria called helicobacter which is often associated with gastric reflux. It can also be caused by infected tonsil beds, blocked sinuses and diabetes. There is a breath assessment test available (not available on the NHS) and if you go to www.MedicineNet.com you can read all about the hydrogen test and other interesting issues surrounding gastric health. So what self help can we try ? Brushing the teeth correctly at least twice each day and cleaning the tongue gently at the front and back can get rid of a lot of the bacteria, using a mouthwash will also help.

Sue via email asks: Dear Aunty, I have a shabby old tower which will be just for downloading torrents (films and music) but a big problem that the hard disk drive is only 320GB and it fills up within a week! When the films have completed their downloaded I transfer them off the laptop and onto an external drive but is there any way I can upgrade the internal hard drive to a 2TB? Aunty Says: You probably could Sue but some older computers and versions of Windows do have a limit to how large a disk you can fit, plus it will be some work reinstalling Windows + all your apps etc. You may find using a USB external hard disk easier (and cheaper) and there is really no need to have an engineer fit it. You can tell your torrent downloader app to use the USB hard disk as its storage, rather than the local C: drive. Jenny via email asks; I have an old Windows Vista laptop and suddenly when accessing my HSBC online banking I get a warning popup from the Internet that says
‘Cookies for this site are blocked’ is that a good thing? What exactly is a ‘Cookie’? Aunty Says; The reason they are blocked Jenny is because your browser (Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer) is set to block certain cookies. A cookie is basically a small piece of information that a website puts on your computer so that it can remember something about your last visit and details at a later time. Blocking them used to be a popular thing but lately a lot of websites won’t function properly if you don’t allow their cookies onto your PC. Check you have all of your Windows Updates installed, which you can do by clicking once on the start button and typing Windows Update and press enter. Also check all of your antivirus and antispyware apps are healthy and also that your browser program is up to date, which you can easily do by downloading and installing the latest version from their website. Well that’s all for another, please email me your questions to auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and I will see what I can do.
