The Origin of the @ symbol. Do you know where did the @ symbol came from? The earliest known example of @ is found in the 1345 Bulgarian translation of the 12th century Manasses Chronicle, which gives a brief synopsis of the history of the world up to the end of the 11th century. In it, @ was used as the symbol for “amin” (amen). Wikipedia Exercise ‘keeps minds sharp’ for over-50s.

Doing moderate exercise several times a week is the best way to keep the mind sharp if you are over 50, according to research conducted in Australia. The review of existing studies found that thinking and memory skills were most improved by exercising the heart and muscles.

Taking up exercise at any age had these benefits.

People who do not find the time to stop and have a proper meal are more likely to increase their food intake later in the day, a study from the University of Surrey found.

runo and Giuseppina Filippone, with more than 50 years culinary experience which is needed to satisfy the most demanding Italian palate, one day in 1994 visited Marbella and loved it so much that they decided to make it their home.

“Da Bruno” The Italian

Restaurant in Marbella Where the greatest height of true Italian cuisine blends with the decor of a Venetian Palace. (By E. Fleri) 10

www.webexpressguide.com

Their aim is to provide Marbella and the Costa del Sol with the best possible traditional Italian cuisine while observing the latest trends; a true ambassador of the uniquely traditional Italian cuisine.

In the first place they want to be certain they serve the freshest quality produce available, this is why the menu is changed according to the seasons yet offering an ample selection of dishes fusing together the flavour, aromas and colours of Italian traditional cuisine. The pasta is made freshly every day and the kitchen is even prepared to cater for any individual client’s food intolerance, such as gluten.

mAIN FEATURE

Eating at ‘Da Bruno’ restaurants you are guaranteed to enjoy traditional pasta as well as the rest of the menu be it fresh fish, different meats and of course the traditional authentic Italian pizzas.

Clearly the high quality and originality of the food, the impeccably elegant décor and the excellent service

and attention to clients have made ‘Da Bruno’ a most sought out restaurant that has resulted in the opening in 5 different locations in Marbella and the Costa del Sol, all providing the same quality of food, service and decor.

The very large and spacious dining areas provide a unique comfort that is rare

on the Costa. The tables are so spaced out that there is no danger of feeling enclosed or too close to other diners.

The amount of space available means that the restaurants can be adapted to all sorts of events and entertainment. Live music is one of the additional pleasures offered to diners to www.webexpressguide.com

Da Bruno a Casa

Da Bruno San Pedro

Italian cuisine has reached enormous popular proportions this is evidenced by the number of Italian restaurants in every corner of the world from Japan and China to everywhere in Europe and of course the USA. Even in Russia where there are 500 Italian restaurants in Moscow alone.

Regretfully not all these serve the real thing; outside of Italy, you should be sure to choose the right restaurant.

This is why Da Bruno restaurants are so special.

Remember that regular visits to a restaurant make you a very important person, you could ask for the Da Bruno’s V.I.P. card and the special advantages it offers. www.webexpressguide.com

#Endometriosis Endometriosis: Recognise the signs If your periods are very heavy or painful, you may well be suffering from endometriosis, for successful control of this condition an early diagnosis is essential.

If you are having any of the following symptoms, please come to our clinic. A visit to the gynaecologist in time can prevent problems in the future: >> >> >> >> >>

Severe period pain Severe pain other than during a period Pain on sexual intercourse Fertility problems Pain on defaecation

It is worth noting that some women with endometriosis have very few symptoms or none at all and are diagnosed incidentally, for example during abdominal surgery.

Endometriosis is a benign condition which affects many women during their fertile years.

In endometriosis, layers of cells which cover the uterine cavity are found outside the uterus, taking hold at any site within the abdomen, including for example: ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, uterine ligaments and more rarely even in places such as the intestine, or lungs.

My name is

#Endometriosis.

How is it treated?

You should know:

Every woman is different and the treatment is individual.

A woman’s age, symptoms and desire to have children must be taken into account.

◊ Endometriosis is not a contagious disease or a sexually transmitted disease.

>> >> >> >>

The main objectives of treatment are therefore: Pain and symptomatic relief Prevention of the advancement of lesions Preservation or restoration of fertility

If the priority is to resolve the pain, hormonal contraceptive treatment is often sufficient, but if the lesions are more widespread, a combination of medical and surgical treatment may be required.

◊ Removal of the uterus is not always an effective treatment. ◊ Cysts resulting from endometriosis are benign and are not in any way related to cancer.

Unfortunately however, there is no definitive treatment to cure endometriosis.

SUNBATHING Is a bronzed body a healthy body?

By Sonia Fendley, director of STM Nummos Life The short term results of unprotected exposure to UV rays are sunburn and tanning.

Long-term exposure causes prematurely aged skin, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, dark patches (lentigos, sometimes called age spots or liver spots), and actinic keratoses and actual skin cancers.

Actinic keratoses are small (usually less than 1/4 inch) rough or scaly spots. Usually they develop on the face, ears, back of the hands, and arms of middle-aged or older people with fair skin, although they can arise on other sun-exposed areas of the skin.

Although actinic keratoses are slow-growing and usually do not cause any symptoms, they sometimes turn into squamous cell cancer.

Besides skin cancer, the sun’s UV radiation also increases the risk of cataracts and certain other eye problems, and can suppress the immune system.

Although dark-skinned people are generally less likely to get skin cancer than light skinned people, they are susceptible to cataracts and immune suppression.

32

www.webexpressguide.com

Two main types of UV radiation reach the earth, UVA and UVB. UVB radiation is well known to cause damage to the DNA of skin cells. Skin cancers develop when this damage affects the DNA of genes that control growth and division of skin cells.

Recent research has found that UVA also contributes to skin cancer formation.

Scientists now believe that both UVA and UVB rays contribute to skin damage, including skin cancer. There are no safe UV rays.

Good sun protection methods include staying in the shade during the peak sun strength times, covering up, wearing sunglasses and a wide brimmed hat and using an SPF 15 or higher sunscreen.

It’s important to realise that tanned skin is a sign of sun-damaged skin, not healthy skin. Also, in the long term, sun exposure is known to increase the risk of skin cancer.

So this summer enjoy the sunshine, but remember to keep exposure to dangerous UV rays to a minimum.

FINANCE

Introduction of NEW MEASURES to help the self employed This new legislation is now ready to be applied from the end of June or early July Some of the changes are aimed at giving greater assistance to the autonomos are:

1. Deduction of up to 12€€ per day for meals.

Previously tax inspections rejected meal expenses for the self-employed. To apply the expense must meet some requisites: •

It must be dated in a working day.

•

It should be backed with a proper invoice.

•

The meal must be served by an establishment in the restaurant sector. (not supermarkets, shops, etc…)

2. More insurance

coverage.

From now on commuting time will be taken as part of the working time. This affects the work accident insurance that embrace accidents occurring while going to and from work.

46

www.webexpressguide.com

Benefits for work accidents are greater than non work related accidents. This will only apply to autonomos that contribute t it.

3. Extended reductions for new autonomos.

A most welcomed measure is the extension of the already existing 80% reduction in the social security contribution from 6 to 12 months. The contribution can be as little as 50€ per month for the first year for those that opt for the minimum contribution.

This reduction comes at a good time, when many will increase their workload due to summer or find a new business.

These new measures, in combinations with LimitConsulting’s plans for accounts and tax, give you the opportunity to start any business idea at the back of your mind.

Of course there is a number of other measures in this new law for autonomo workers that we will comment in our blog at limitconsulting.com and in coming issues of this magazine.

Peace of mind,

your best equity

“ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE” We all have from the moment we are born.

Whilst the sitcom and the saying imply the approach of death, the unfortunate truth is that it is a matter of time for the day to come for everyone without exception.

So why not start on the “right foot”, accept the inevitable and plan your own funeral while you can? There are some very good and valid reasons for so doing.

For one thing you can have it your own way, as you would like it yourself and then the earlier you plan it the lesser is the cost.

WE ARE HERE TO LISTEN & HELP It may be wise to consider a pre-plan.

Our Dignity Charter Plan could be what you’re looking for.

It is a safe plan, not an insurance.

It is usually believed that having a funeral plan relieves the hassle and pain at the time of need but the impact goes well beyond that.

Problems really appear well after the funeral.

Imagine how much worse it can seem if from the “get go” you’re dealing with loose ends, not knowing what to do, who to talk to, not knowing if you can trust them and so on.

It’s like going for a hike and the first step is into a hole and even if you don’t break a bone or sprain an ankle it has practically ruined or jinxed your walk.

Planning offers other perhaps hidden advantages. When you purchase a plan, or at least do some serious research, the undertaker will walk you through the process which does raise questions on issues that are death related...like “what happens with the bank account”? And the house and other similar uncertainties..

The fact that you can deal with these doubts and possible unknowns long before the time of need will seriously reduce problems well after the death, while giving youthe peace of mind in the mean time.

This is why choosing your undertaker carefully can have a long term impact. For example we have had people call us 10 (ten) years after a funeral asking if by any chance we had a copy of the deceased’s passport (which we did).

So plan, plan well and as early as possible and benefit from the greater and much longer benefits than you could imagine www.webexpressguide.com

I YO my Homosexual

grandson

Pride parties are just around the corner, and Madrid this year will reach the highest peaks with the celebration of the World Pride. But not everyone is Chueca and, unfortunately, there are still places where being gay are a reason for repudiation, even by a mother. This is what happened to Chad, a young American who, four years ago, received rejection from his mother when she discovered that he was gay, she even threw him out. But then came his grandfather, who wrote a letter to his own daughter which, in the course of four years, has become viral. Blessed be grandfathers.

mi nieto Homosexual Las fiestas del Orgullo están a la vuelta de la esquina, y Madrid tirará este año la casa por la ventana con la celebración del World Pride. Pero no todo el mundo es Chueca y, por desgracia, sigue habiendo entornos en que ser homosexual es motivo de repudio. Incluso por parte de una madre. Eso es lo que le ocurrió a Chad, un joven norteamericano que, hace cuatro años, recibió el rechazo de su madre cuando descubrió que era gay. Llegó incluso a echarlo de casa. Y, entonces, llegó su abuelo, quien le escribió una carta a su propia hija que, cuatro años después, se ha convertido en viral. Benditos abuelos.

Thats life

Querida Christine, Estoy decepcionado contigo como hija. Tienes razón en que tenemos 'una vergüenza en la familia', pero te has equivocado en cuál es.

Echar a Chad de casa simplemente porque te dijo que era gay es la verdadera 'abominación' aquí. Deshacerte de tu hijo, aparentemente, es lo que va 'contra natura'.

La única cosa inteligente que te he oído decir en todo esto fue que 'tú no criaste a un hijo para que fuera gay'. Por supuesto que no. Nació así y no eligió esto, igual que no eligió ser zurdo. De todos modos, tú sí has hecho la elección de ser dañina, estrecha de mente y retrógrada. Así que, ya que estamos en esto de repudiar a nuestros hijos, creo que este es un buen momento para decirte adiós. Ahora tengo un nieto fabuloso (como dicen los gais) al que criar, y no tengo tiempo para una hija sin corazón.

Si encuentras tu corazón, llámanos.

PRICKLY PAIR

I do not speak French!

A big thank you to all the lovely French people who wrote to me recently

Unfortunately I don’t speak French and was therefore unable to understand much; they do say that French is one of the world’s most beautiful languages (well the French do) however, some of the words I looked up in the phrase book weren’t very beautiful at all!

I can only assume therefore, that I may have inadvertently upset some of my French(?) fans. As a caring humanitarian this startling revelation comes as a knife to my heart.

Edward Bulwer Lytton once said “The pen is mightier than the sword” and in the hand of Mr. Lytton it may well have been, but as a weapon for the average man or indeed woman come to that, the humble pen can become a lot more frightening than any sword you are likely to encounter.

58

www.webexpressguide.com

Ex-pats from all over Europe have come to roost in this glorious part of Spain, and even some French! By and large, the majority of settlers tend to behave themselves. However, a small contingent seem to suddenly develop an overwhelming desire to take up their pen and proceed to bore to death as many people as possible by churning out a never ending stream of drivel. Now, if back in your own country you were a hairdresser, in the SAS, a milkman or aircraft engineer, then that is what you were.

James Bond is a secret agent and I wouldn’t mind betting that he never had a summer job at Burger King, by the same token, Shakespeare is remembered as a writer; nowhere in history does it mention that before

PRICKLY PAIR

taking up his mighty pen, Mr. Shakespeare had a burgeoning career emptying middens.

To actual writers (those of us that do it for a living) this deluge of boring, waffling old nonsense creates a niggling little problem.

If you pick up a magazine and find yourself confronted by the never ending, never interesting, saga of some boring old farts earlier life as a younger fart, then you may be, understandably, wary of picking up a magazine ever again.

This is the problem therefore for professional writers; the literary waters are being muddied by bored ex-pats, with too much time on their hands and a misguided belief that anybody would be remotely interested in what they got up to during their little stint in the army, police force, boy scouts or anywhere else come to that.

Another little group wishing to share their yawn making experiences with us are the long term ex-pats (those “we have been here 10, 20, 30 years”) SO WHAT? These people are terminally boring and will proceed to tell you they remember when all this was just fields/Fincas/Cockroach farms etc... ad infinitum. The worst of this particular bad bunch are the ones that started businesses here a few years ago and now feel the need to share their knowledge with us, not to mention their hilarious little anecdotes.

It has always been my experience that people who feel the need, and indeed encourage having words like the warped mind of leveled at themselves, usually are the complete opposite and if you are expecting to be greeted by a zany, laugh a minute raconteur, then you are going to be sorely disappointed meeting the only person guaranteed to send you to sleep faster than the Sandman.

The world has shrunk since warped mind, Zany, crazy guy/gal thought that drifting around a few bits of the Mediterranean was sooo Bohemian and nowadays Mr and Mrs Average are visiting far flung places that these previous people have never heard of, yet alone visited. The difference, luckily, is that the modern traveler doesn’t feel the need to start writing all about their little jaunt (except for the blogs on the internet, but no one takes any notice of those anyway) plus, exercising a far less selfish and cavalier attitude towards their children’s future and education by not dragging them away from their schools or potential universities, simply to satisfy their own misguided ends.

The world is full of people who think that their lives have been more interesting than anybody else’s, but the fact of the matter is, as far back as Georgian times young people were travelling all over Europe on their ‘Grand’ tours, so let’s face it, there was nothing left to discover here 20-30 years ago that wasn’t already passé. It is also so archetypal British to talk about the Spain of 20+ years previous as if it was some third world backwater; the bloody old nuisances who turned up here at that time, love to use the phrase undiscovered Spain which is b*****ks really, as between the Romans, Moors and the Spanish themselves there can’t have been much left for a few drunken, halfwit Brits to stumble upon.

Where I come from there is a very nice Spanish restaurant run by a guy from Seville, he has owned his business in England for over 30 years and in all that time he has never once felt the need to write to the local magazines with uninteresting little anecdotes, he has never claimed to have discovered unspoiled Romford and I have never heard him say I remember Southend when it was all just fields! www.webexpressguide.com

MOTO GP 17

CRASH BANDICOOT

Competitive motorcycling enthusiasts and MotoGP championship fans, get ready for the race in the 2017 edition of the official MotoGP game series. MotoGP 17 brings all the adrenaline and need for speed of the new motorbike world champion with it, including all the 2017 riders, teams and tracks; the new rules and the Red Bull Rookies Cup championship.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Like in the original games, Crash uses spinning and jumping techniques to defeat enemies, smash crates, and collect items such as Wumpa Fruits, extra lives, and protective Aku Aku masks. The trilogy adds new features across all three games, including unified checkpoints, pause menus and save systems, including both manual and automatic saving, time trials, which were first introduced in Warped, and the ability to play through each game as Coco Bandicoot, Crash’s sister, with the exception of certain boss battles and Crash’s vehicle/animal riding levels.
