Vice Consuls visit Help at Home Official visit by Vice Consuls Elizabeth Bell and Sara Munsterhjelm to Help At Home, Costa Blanca.

HIS WAS THE FIRST visit by the Alicante Consulate to meet volunteers who help those in need of a little support in their own homes in the Vega Baja area of Alicante. The Vega Baja is a very large area covered by two branches of volunteers, providing support to all nationalities and

ages living in Orihuela Costa, Ciudad Quesada, Torrevieja, La Mata and La Marina and surrounding areas. Elizabeth and Sara were introduced by Norah Bond, Founder and Secretary General of the charity to their President

Carmen Darby Perez, Legal Secretary Jordi Mauri Sole, Joan Waddington Quesada Branch Manager, Esther Tucker Shop Manager and some of her volunteers who help raise funds working in the charity shop. Eileen Randall,

Fundraiser who took over from Norah last November and Ann Jupp one of the Administrators who offered homemade scones and tea to the visitors, made by her own fair hands. Sofia Alvarez Councillor for Orihuela

Costa residents, Tourism & Transport, together with Lilybeth the President of Stroke Support Torrevieja and the EU Untouchables Pauline Stewart were invited to meet the Vice Consuls at the Charity Centre. Sofia advised that she will support the charity in what ever way she can, especially the residents of Orihuela Costa with special needs. Help at Home told the Costa Blanca People, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are grateful for her support and will endeavour to ensure we all work together with the aim of helping those in need on the coast. She knows we work closely with Caritas who Continued on page 3

Dog rescue It can be difficult for the police to know who to contact when an injured animal is discovered. However, since Carmen Morate took up her role as councillor they now at least know who to turn to. One example of this is in the case of a small Chihuahua that was found in a great deal of pain and brought to the attention of the Councillor. On further examination by the vet it was discovered that the dog was very badly injured with a dislocated hip, a hernia and problems with other internal organs. The animal had no chip and was not castrated. The owner did get in touch with the town hall but was unable to help the animal due to lack of money. Fundraising by Animalistas Torrevieja has enabled operations on animals who have no other source of support to take place. Vets will provide their services at a reduced rate for this. The Chihuahua was operated on and the dog is now making a good recovery.

Please ring for collection We’re all used to the sight of unwanted household objects left out by the bins. They can range from sofas and beds to all manner of garden waste. However, leaving these large unwanted items out whenever we feel like it is neither good for the environment or for keeping up appearances. Torrevieja town council has launched a campaign to draw attention to the need to Continued on page 5

provide food and support to those on low or no income and the disabled pre-retirees, the Royal British Legion, MABS, 3C’s and Cruz Roja Alicante.” Norah is responsible for this project and her working group, campaigning for a room to be available on the coast for a Social Club to meet regularly and raise funds for a specially adapted vehicle to transport members to club meetings and medical appointments. Norah revealed, “Sofia explained that as Councillor for Transport, a mini bus service will be provided in the near future, this will help our situation to transport our clients who are disabled or Special Needs.” The aim of the visit was to discuss what support the Consulate can offer the charity to help British residents living in Spain. Norah explained that the relationship between the Consulate and the Charity play a very important role, having supported the charity during the past five years. Liz and her team at the Consulate have advised on many cases, from repatriation, passport renewal, but more importantly to assisting in the cases of clients in hospital who are in need of aftercare on discharge. Liz works closely with the Social Workers in the hospitals, advising the client what help is available, normally a private agency or a charity. Norah said, “We are hoping to be added to the list of recommended charities handed to patients or their families by the Social Worker at the Hospital.”

Norah went on to say, “Liz has been known to call us regarding discharge of a patient late in the day, what care can be provided by our volunteers and what procedures are in place. We have asked her to beg the hospital to keep the patient one more night to give us time to prepare for their arrival home but this does not always happen obviously as there are times we get a call late from a client who lives on their own, needs a lift from hospital which is provided by our volunteers. “On the other hand, if we are not sure about a case, we know we can call or email Liz or Sara to be advised what to do, every case is different obviously, personally since I started the charity, I must say the Consulate provide a very valuable service for all concerned. “Liz and her team at the Consulate never let us down, are always at the end of the phone or email offering support and advice. No one is ignored, but, we do need more volunteers to offer care, home help, raise funds, respite or be a friend.” Should you have a few hours to spare each week please contact th office on 965 328 794 or email charitycentre.helpathomecb@gmail.com or if you live in the Quesada area call 693 027 026. On the other hand, if you know of someone in need of a little help, point them in the direction of Help at Home Costa Blanca and the team will arrange and assessment and ensure they receive the support they need.

Sea safety for Easter and Summer As Torrevieja prepares for the busy Easter season, it is important that the beaches are manned with lifeguards. Easter might be early this year and at the moment it is hard to contemplate swimming in the sea. However, as people descend from Madrid for this important time in the Spanish calendar beach surveillance needs to be in place. As with many of the services contracted by the town hall, the life guard service is another that they want to establish in their own way. Councillor Javier Manzanares explains; ‘There wasn’t enough time to put the Easter contract out to tender in the way that we would have liked. However, we are tendering for the summer contract and so far there has been a lot of interest.’ Altogether sixteen businesses have shown interest in the service which is usually provided by La Cruz Roja. Their applications will be assessed and the council will choose the one that offers the best value to patrol the beaches in Torrevieja during the summer season. ‘Unfortunately we were too late for Semana Santa,’ says Councillor Manzanares. ‘It will be manned in the same way as it has been for the past fifteen years, but after that there will be changes. Putting these new tenders together and ensuring that the beaches are protected is

quite a stressful task and I would like to thank my team who have been brilliant in getting it all done.’ Councillor Manzanares is hoping that the new contract in the summer will enable the service to be offered for a greater portion of the day; from 10.00 am until 8.00pm. Currently the

shore can address ships or boats that are travelling into areas which are limited for bathing only. They can also help the lifeguards to enforce rules when necessary.’ The drones should be in operation from July onwards and this is a ground breaking development for Torrevieja as it

contract has covered the lifeguard service from 11.00am until 7.00pm. Another change that Manzanares is expecting to oversee is the introduction of the Salvadron initiative. A business in Valencia has been successful in its bid to begin the operation of two drones based in La Mata. The drones will be manned by specially trained Proteccion Civil members and will be available to go to the assistance of those at difficulty in the sea. ‘They can drop ‘flopys’ which are life saving equipment and also pass on instructions,’ explains Javier. ‘Through a loudspeaker those on

is the first location in Spain to try it out. ‘There’s been lots of interest from other European countries too,’ says Javier. ‘It’s good to be at the forefront of this initiative.’ The reason that the use of the drones cannot be extended to the beaches closer to Torrevieja town centre is that it would interfere with aircraft flight paths. An issue that their operation has yet to address. The introduction of the drones is not without its complications. However, Councillor Manzanares is clear, if it prevents the loss of one life it will have been worth it.

BITE SIZE Poor prospects for NEWS: the millennials Continued from page 3 call first before depositing unwanted items at the roadside. If you are about to leave your old furniture and appliances by the bin please call 966 70 23 90 first and then only leave the items there from 10.00 pm onwards. Leaflets have been produced to advertise this and also to remind people about the importance of picking up after their dog.

Get to meet the charities in Torrevieja On the 26th March from 11.00am until 2.00pm there will be a charity fair on the front in Torrevieja by the Hombre del Mar. This will be an opportunity for people in Torrevieja to come along and browse through the stalls of the charities that are based here. Each one will have items to sell as well as advertising what they do and hoping to pick up some new volunteers too. Along with the charity stalls there will be entertainment during the day for children and live music. It is hoped that people will put it in their diaries as an Easter event to attend.

worldwide The millennials is the term used to describe those born between 1980 and the mid-90s and those who are currently in the 20-35 age group. This same group of young adults are also sometimes described as Generation Y, a follow on from the Generation X (those born between 1965 and 1979). The LIS’s household survey data was used by the Guardian to investigate the situation in Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the US for this generation of people. They found that: • Prosperity has plummeted for young adults in the rich world • In the US, under – 30s are now poorer than retired people • Millennials have experienced real terms losses in wages in the US, Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Canada The results can’t just be put down the 2008 crash either. In some of these countries the process of redistribution of prosperity had already begun. This new data suggests that young people are growing up with few prospects and little money in comparison to their parents and grandparents. In Spain young people have seen a particularly sharp drop in their household disposable income only beaten by young people in Italy who have fared even worse. The picture in Australia is very different. There the

pattern is reversed with young people doing better than those who are 65+. If Generation Y are finding it tough going – who isn’t? According to the data, it’s pensioners who have higher disposable income growth than young people in almost every wealthy country. In the UK pensioner disposable income has grown at a rate three times as fast as the income of young people. In The US and Italy young people have an income they can spend that is around the same as it was 30 years ago. This is in contrast to the gains that others in the population have made. In the US, France, Germany, Italy and Canada the average disposable income of people in their early 20s is more than 20% below national averages.

What are the implications? The lack of available resources for the younger generation is likely to lead to greater inequality across society. Young people with wealthy parents will be sustained by them during these years whereas those with poorer parents will not have the resources to support them in getting started. In Italy and Spain the number of young people still living with their parents in their thirty-something years is high and this has implications for future generations. The opportunity to buy a house, marry and start a family – a process taken for granted by previous generations – is no longer available to them. There’s also the issue of how this generation sees themselves. There is a feeling that moral is low and there is a level of apathy to the political situation. In the May general election in 2015 only 48-5% of Gen Y voted, which is the lowest turn out of any group. We can see trends too in the life choices Generation Y are making. A millennial woman gets married on average 7.1 years later than her equivalent in 1981. A millennial couple have children later too. The average age of women at childbirth has increased by 3.8 years since 1974. Those who joined in the survey in Spain wrote about unemployment being the main issue they faced and it was not uncommon for millennials to feel lucky to have a job earning as little as €600 a month. Looking further into the future and the prospect looks even more desperate for the children of the millennials. Without the opportunity to build up their own pension plan and purchase their own property they will have even fewer resources with which to support the next generation. A situation that perhaps needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency Suzanne O’Connell

A double celebration for the Samaritans It’s been a busy week for the Samaritans in Spain. Firstly, on Saturday 5th March they celebrated having been at their base in the Punta Marina commercial centre in Torrevieja for three years. The event was marked by entertainment from the TAABS singers, a fashion show organised by charity shop team leaders Catherine and Clare and many other activities and stalls. On Tuesday 8th March the Masons from Caledonia Lodge No. 68 donated two lap tops to the Samaritans. The lap tops are much appreciated as they will help with administration and training. Demand for the Samaritans continues to increase with them experiencing over 800 calls last year. People can access their 24 hour support for those in emotional distress on Freephone 900 525 100.

Campoverde Easter parade On Monday 21st March the Easter parade is set to make its way through Campoverde setting off from Plaza Florida to Campoverde Church. This is the first year that the parade will take place through the village. Previously the Cofradia of Campoverde (Semana Santa brotherhood) took part but the procession did not include the village itself. The Semana Santa Expat Paso is carried by Campoverdians and will be accompanied by all the Standards from Pilar de la Horadada Cofradias as well as a band. Maggie Dew from the Campoverde Church is delighted that their request to host the procession was accepted by Mari Carmen, the head of the Junta Mayor de Cofradias. The procession will begin at 6.30pm and will include the Main Street, Avenida del Pino, before ending up at the church. The parade will be met in the church garden by Father Robert Donkin who will bless the Paso and all the members of the Cofradias. Afterwards refreshments will be served in the garden and everyone is welcome to join in. Suzanne O’Connell

Local residents in La Siesta are concerned that instead of using the large car park that has been provided especially for the purpose, people attending the health clinic park outside their gates instead. The car park is adjacent to the health centre but is frequently completely empty whilst the streets around the centre are full of cars coming and going during the day. Now the local residents have appealed to the town hall for help in encouraging people to use the very generous facilities provided.

‘Some of the streets around the health centre are one way too,’ explains Carlos Gonzalez at the OARI office (Office for Attention to International Residents) in Torrevieja. ‘It can cause problems during some parts of the day and those living on the road approaching the health centre can find themselves blocked in or at least their vision obscured when they are trying to leave their properties.’ Suzanne O’Connell

Building partially collapses An eight story building has partially collapsed in Callosa de Segura, leaving 50 residents without a place to live. The property was in the process of renovation after the detection of aluminosis. The Cruz Roja has installed a temporary shelter at the town’s sports centre, while the town hall will provide food and water to those 15 families who have been left homeless. Thankfully no one was injured in the collapse, which occurred at around 9am on Sunday morning. Residents were visibly shaken after the sudden evacuation was ordered. Local Police and Proteccion Civil helped with the relocation of

residents, helping them quickly gather a few essential belongings before moving them to safety nearby. Some of the families went to stay with relatives, but some – many of whom are foreign nationals – did not have any alternative but to take up the offer of temporary accommodation at the sports centre on Sunday night. A full safety review will be undertaken to ensure that no new subsidence will occur before opening up the building once again to its residents. For now, the building remains sealed behind a safety fence and protective screens.

The continuous day under discussion again The majority of primary schools in this part of Spain currently stop for lunch at 12.30pm and begin again in the afternoon at 3.00pm. The afternoon session is only 90 minutes long finishing at 4.30pm. A number of parents and teachers have felt for a while that the way the school day is organised does not make sense and that finishing earlier without the long lunch break would be better. Now it looks as though a new draft law could be about to make this a possibility. The new law might be in draft form, but it is already receiving a great deal of interest from parents of children in the 370 primary schools that could be affected. Currently as it stands: •The school day will be from 9.00am until 2.00pm •Buses will run at 9.00am and 5.00pm •Lunches will be available from 2.00pm until 3.00pm but those having them will have to stay until 5.00pm •After school activities will run up to 5.00pm and will be free and offered by the school in conjunction with the teachers, AMPA and the town hall •Teachers will stay for two afternoon sessions from 3.00pm until 5.00pm each week There are already 26 schools that have piloted the new day and these will also

have to vote again if they wish to keep the new routine. These schools have their teaching classes in the morning from 9.00 am until 2.00pm with a half hour break for students in the primary years and 45 minutes for children from three to five years old. Around half the schools in Torrevieja have already shown interest in changing to the new day and information is being sent out on websites and Facebook pages about the process for implementing the new law if it is passed. The decision-making process now includes: •The school board must request the change •The municipal school department must agree •There must be approval from the General Directorate •A committee must be appointed to oversee the process including the headteacher and two parents •There must be consultation with the staff (two thirds) and families (55%) •Approval will begiven for three years with a review each year The overall framework of the new regulation has been welcomed but there are those who recognise the need for amendments to be included. The schools that do change their day must offer opportunity for children to stay behind, have lunch and continue with

extra curricular activities until five o’clock. These activities must be provided free which has caused some difficultiesfor those taking part in the pilot project. In those areas where additional supervisors have been paid for at this time, there hasn’t been a problem. However, where this isn’t the case arranging the after school provision has been much more difficult. It is currently a requirement that those who stay to eat remain in the school until 5.00 pm unless there are exceptional circumstances. This part of the draft lawhas been criticised for its lack of flexibility. Some would prefer that children could stay for their dinner and then return home. Headteachers of schools are asking that they have greater discretion in organising how the new law operates for them rather than being required to keep children there until 5.00pm. Parents’ representatives have commented that those towns without sufficient money to help staff the extra hours will almost certainly be unable to implement the day whether it is voted for or not. Some don’t believe that the council really want to implement the new arrangements as the rules surrounding it will be difficult to apply in such a short space of timebefore September 2016.

Looking for an original handmade gift? So you're looking for something just a little unusual for that special person? Does that mean a trip to Valencia or Alicante, and spending a lot in some fancy gallery? How about a walk along the

walk, perhaps a little light refreshment in one of the many seaside cafés, and you come back with something really special. The stalls that set up every Sunday morning really are special. Amata, the regional craft association, has chosen them carefully - nothing imported, nothing made in small factories, everything carefully and lovingly made by people who have chosen this way of life. It shows; these are not the "designer T-shirts" or "exclusive designs" you will see in the galleries. These are items that have been made because people prefer to make something special rather than just sit in an office or a factory. Every Sunday morning, starting at 11 and

promenade by Jávea port, and having a look at what is on display on the craft stalls that set up every Sunday morning? Fresh air, nice views, a healthy

finishing at 2 or even later, there will be people with leather and felt bags, wooden toys, ceramics, some jewellery (but not too much), macramé. You won't know exactly what is there on the Sunday morning you pass by, since every week there is something different, but there are always the odd dozen stalls with interesting and unusual designs. For more information, ring Elvira on 639 979 678 (she speaks English). Or have a look at photographs on the Amata web site (it's in Spanish and English) on www.amata.es.

Which are the best universities in Europe?

CostaBlancaPeople March 15th - 21st 2016

The Times Higher Education 2016 rankings have been released.This league table of universities is compiled by looking at their research, the learning environment, reputation, the number of teachers per student - their titles and qualifications, the income, the number of citations and the presence of international students and teachers and academic work. It’s the United Kingdom that has the most university mentions of all the European countries featured. Altogether it has 46 that include Oxford University in first place, Cambridge University second and Imperial College, London in third. 1. University of Oxford 2. University of Cambridge 3. Imperial College London 5. University College London 6. London School of Economics and Political Science 7. University of Edinburgh 8. King’s College London 18. University of Manchester 23. University of Bristol 24. Durham University 28. University of Glasgow 31. University of Warwick 35. University of St Andrews 38. University of Exeter 40. University of Sheffield 41. Queen Mary University of London 48. University of Southampton It is worth noting the importance of international students in the reputation and ranking of UK universities. They are also a source of wealth not only for the universities themselves but for the country. However, the number of international

students has stalled this year and has fallen in comparison to other countries such as Germany. There appear to be two reasons for the reduction. Firstly the restrictive migratory policy being imposed by the UK and the cost of studying there which has risen in comparison to some other countries. The opportunity to study in English has been an important factor in the success of the universities in the UK. However, now Germany and countries such as Belgium are offering around 2,000 courses delivered in English. After the UK, it’s Germany that can boast the highest number of universities in the rankings with 36 institutions in the top 200. In tenth place is LMU Munich and ten other German universities are in the top 50. Sweden has 11 universities in the list and Finland six. The Scandinavian countries are described as ‘punching above their weight’ when it comes to representation in the tables.The Instituto Karolinska in Sweden is ranked in ninth place and Finland’s University of Helsinki makes the top 30. The Republic of Ireland also performs well according to its size with six universities mentioned including Trinity College Dublin in 78th place. Switzerland has nine with the Instituto Federal Suizo de Tecnología de Zurich featuring in fourth place and Denmark six with the University of Copenhagen in 33rd place. It’s the countries in the south of Europe who seem to do worst in the rankings includ-ing Estonia, Greece, Cyprus

www.costablancapeople.com

and Portugal with only one institution in the lower half of the table. However Italy does well with 19 universities mentioned in the rankings although occupying the lower positions. Spain does not do well. It has only five universities in the rankings and is the second lowest country when ranked in relation to its GDP. The five Spanish universities that feature are: • La Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (70) • La Universidad PompeuFabra (80) • La Universidad de Barcelona (86) • La Universidad de Madrid (160) • La Universidad de Navarra (170) Russia has only five in the top 200 which is a relatively small number given the size of it population. The countries of Polonia, Ukraine, Rumania and Bulgaria together with the old Yugoslavia are not represented. Being part of the European Union has been an asset for Britain’s universities. John Gill in the Time Higher Education claims that the UK has done particularly well out of the European Union in terms of research funding taking far more than its fair share from the European Research Council. The relationship is two-way, however. There is much admiration in Europe for UK higher education and the mobility of its students and professors is important.

Climbing mountains for animal welfare Elaine Sissons is preparing to climb mountains to raise funds for horses rescued from abuse and neglect in Spain. The 60-year-old will take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge on March 26, rais-ing cash for Spain’s Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, climbing the three peaks that make up the Pennine Range: Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent. To prepare for the 26-mile challenge, Elaine initially began practicing on the rugged Spanish mountains around her holiday house in the southeastern Alicante region. Now back in Leeds, Elaine has joined a running group and walks everywhere. “I have never done a marathon before or climbed three mountains in succession,” Elaine said. She was inspired into action after meeting Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre co-founders Sue and Rod Weeding . Soon after, Elaine began volunteering with Sue in the centre’s La Zenia charity shop. “I felt very humbled by their dedication, hard work and selflessness,” Elaine said. “What they have achieved and continue to achieve is amazing. Because I could see the difference they were making to every horse they saved, I wanted to help.” After returning to the United Kingdom, Elaine decided she would continue her sup-port through a fundraising challenge every March.

Last year, she raised €571 for the rescue centre by completing a tandem sky diving jump for her 60th birthday. She hopes to raise even more during this year’s Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre relies entirely on donations to fund its important animal welfare work, including the feeding and care of the centre’s more than 90 horses, ponies and donkeys rescued from abuse, neglect and abandonment. Donations of cash or items for the centre’s network of eight charity shops across the Alicante province are gratefully welcomed. A pick-up service is available to collect large donated items such as furniture and each shop also offers a delivery service for large items purchased in-store. Anyone interested in making a donation, becoming a long-term sponsor, or volun-teering at the rescue centre or in the charity shops can call Sue on 652 021 980. The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, located just outside Rojales at Partido Lo Garriga, 59, opens to the public on the first Sunday of every month between 1pm and 4pm. Free horse tours run throughout the afternoon and refreshments are available in the café. For more details and directions, please visit www.easyhorsecare.net.

Seagate Wealth Management

Getting into the driver’s seat: What type of investor are you? I

nvesting is like setting off in a car on a long journey; it is better to know where you are going before you start. Having a plan helps you to set goals and decide how long to invest for, how much risk to take and the amount of money you need to set aside. Just as there will be lots of different types of drivers out on that motorway, each with their own journey, there are different types of investor. So which kind are you? There are many reasons to invest, and often these are not restricted to just one per person. You could be saving for a wedding, buying a car or putting money away for retirement ‐ or you might just want to make your cash work harder by keeping it in the most tax efficient way. The above scenarios would all have different time horizons, which dictate the amount of risk you are willing to take. It is possible to work towards different goals at the same time. After you've decided on your goal, you will need to think about strategy ‐ whether you invest for income or growth will dictate the type of funds or stocks you choose. An income fund provides investors with regular earnings from the dividends. A growth fund looks to grow the original sum invested as much as possible. If you would like to discover what type of investor you are and would like some help in planning your future financial security, then give me a call on 965 704 338 to book a free no‐obligation appointment in our Benijofar office.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE The European single currency was little changed against the US dollar and sterling during the first three days of the week, with the markets holding out for the ECB interest rate decision due on Thursday. Recent Eurozone inflation data, which saw consumer prices decline 0.2% during February 2016 when compared to the same month a year earlier, meant that the dreaded deflation tag would certainly pile pressure on the ECB to take action. Also, having previously hinted that another ‘whatever it takes’ moment was close to hand, the markets had been highly expectant of some serious stimulus measures to be unleashed by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi this time around. Early Eurozone data was thin on the ground. Germany’s manufacturers reported a decline in new orders for January, but the drop was only marginal. Germany did report a foreign trade balance surplus of €13.6 billion for January 2016, although this was down from a surplus of €15.9 billion a year earlier. Germany’s exports declined by 1.4% as the global slowdown takes hold. Having seen little volatility up until the interest rate decision, there were some incredible swings thereafter. The markets at first reacted very positively to the sensational news that the ECB were to introduce a sweeping list of stimulus measures to help boost economic growth. Mario Draghi gave notice that the ECB had decided to cut all of its key interest rates at the March meeting. The main refinancing rate was cut to 0.0% form 0.05% with the bank lending facility down to 0.25% from 0.3%.

The bank deposit rate was decreased further to -0.4% form - 0.3%. Mario Draghi also highlighted a further long term bank lending facility to help drive corporate lending higher. The ongoing asset purchase programme (APP) was to be increase to EUR 80bn per month, up from EUR 60bn before. Far in excess of best case scenario expectations and with added coverage in that corporate debt will form part of the targeted bonds to be bought. So far so good. The markets were delighted with Draghi’s bazooka, which seemed to cover all angles. The Euro weakened against both the US dollar and the pound, falling to as low as 1.0821 and 1.3066 respectively. All this good work was undone though as soon as Mario Draghi stated ‘we don’t anticipate that it will be necessary to reduce rates further’. No more cuts on the table, and the markets now wondering what further ammunition remains available to boost economic conditions and to fight off the scourge of deflation. Draghi was also clear in that the ECB’s inflation outlook had been revised downwards again to just 0.1% in 2016 – considerably lower than an earlier estimate of 1.0%. Growth expectations were also revised lower. The single currency spiked higher to hit a high of 1.1218 vs the dollar and 1.2740 against the pound. We end the week with the Euro giving back some of its gains although the next significant moves may now hinge on the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England Monetary Policy rate decisions – both due next week.

There is no doubt that gardens are getting smaller, and gardeners are looking for plants that provide year round colour and interest. Fortunately, there are some fabulous foliage plants around that will do just that. I have previously written about Callas, Cannas, and Strelitzias which all have great foliage, but some other good varieties that are worth a second look include: Dracaena reflexa may also be called Pleomele and is commonly called ‘Song of India’. It is native of Madagascar and Mauritius and is valued for its lance-shaped, dark green leaves with creamy white margins. It grows to a height of about a couple of metres or so.

Pleomele Cordylines are particularly popular, and come in a range of colours and patterns. They are easy to grow, drought tolerant and grow best in a well drained organically rich soil. These plants like a protected, partially shaded spot as the colours can sometimes fade a little when exposed to the full sun. Crotons, Codiaeum spp. are lovers of the warmer climates. They like full sun for the best colour, but they do grow in dappled shade and need a good, rich, well drained soil. These plants are often dismissed as old fashioned, because they are sometimes found in old and neglected gardens and this attests to their hardiness. Calatheas are a diverse group of plants emanating from regions as far flung as Mexico to northern Argentina and are made up of evergreen, tuberous or rhizome rooted perennials. They often have bold and strikingly marked elliptical foliage. Moses in a cradle is one that suffers from an identity crisis because it was always known botanically as Rhoeo discolor, then Rhoeo spathacea, now Tradescantia spathacea. It is a short stemmed clumping perennial from southern Mexico, Guatemala and Belize and has rosettes of broadly speared leaves that are dark green and purple underneath. This is a really hardy plant that grows in full sun or part shade and its only demand is that it has a well drained soil. For some reason it has earned a reputation as being a bit on the weedy side, but I am not aware of any gardeners who have experienced any difficulty in this regard. But having said that, it is worth keeping an eye on it to see that it never gets out of hand. Bromeliads thrive in the warmer temperatures with warmth, humidity

and good light levels bringing out their best foliage colours. To get the very best out of them they do have to have a well drained soil. Elephant ears, Alocasias and Colocasias make a great showing as a backdrop or a center of interest in any garden. Originating in tropical and sub-tropical areas, they love sunshine, heat, and high humidity. They are easy to grow and will grow in sun or shade, depending on species. As a wetland plant in the wild, elephant ear plants crave water. This makes them a good choice for wet areas where homeowners usually have trouble finding suitable plants. Their thirst for water makes elephant ears effective not only in soggy areas of the landscape, but also near water features. There are lots of different ways in which foliage plants can be used in the garden. More often than not they are simply dotted around to give splashes of colour amongst the green foliage, or to create a focal point, but in the case of the old ‘Moses in a cradle’ they are now being extensively used by landscapers as a massed planting. There is a relatively new, smaller growing, pink coloured variety that looks great when used in this manner. Plants such as the

KEEP Calathea Calatheas can be used to brighten up an otherwise dark, shaded, understorey garden. These plants are all low maintenance, requiring only a little looking after. All will respond to spring and autumn applications of a good, complete, organic fertilizer. The taller growers such as the Cordylines, Dracaena and Crotons will all be the better for a moderately hard prune when they get a bit on the leggy side, and to bring out the colour in the foliage, an application of some extra sulphate of potash at the same time as the general fertilizing will be worthwhile. Keep the soil around them well mulched with a good organic mulch and they will provide all year round colour with a minimum of effort on your part. Marc Vijverberg

WELCOME TO VANCOUVER with Vivalia Travel

The city was named the Top Destination in Canada in TripAdvisor's 2014 Travellers' Choice awards, and was chosen as the world's "Most Liveable City" in 2010 by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), a title it has been awarded eight times since 2002. Vancouver offers travellers both outstanding opportunities for outdoor adventure and the sophisticated amenities of a world-class city. Take advantage of the city's oceanside location, with plenty of green space and many recreation opportunities in the mountains 20 minutes north of downtown. After a busy day, linger over a glass of BC wine and a locally inspired meal, or unwind at one of Vancouver's unique spas. While this sea-level port city is

known for its temperate climate, the surrounding snow-covered slopes are perfect for winter sports and breathtaking views of the city twinkling below. Vancouver is one of the few places in the world where it's possible to ski in the morning and sail in the afternoon. The Coast Mountains, which rise more than 1,500m/5,000ft, gloriously preside over the city. Vancouver's population is approximately 628,621 in a region of over 2.3 million. A major port, Vancouver is the province's largest city as well as Canada's third largest. The city, protected by Vancouver Island, experiences considerably less precipitation and enjoys more sunshine than BC's other coastal areas. While Vancouver can be damp

during autumn and winter, it won't be excessively cold or snowy. However, nearby Cypress, Grouse and Seymour mountains receive enormous snowfalls during the winter, creating superb conditions for winter sports. Golf is always in season; thanks to the mild climate, many of Vancouver's championship courses are open for year-round play. This temperate weather allows for an active, outdoors-oriented lifestyle, a major reason why Vancouver has been nicknamed “Lotus Land”. Hit the nightclub scene or wander through ethnic enclaves. Visit the aquarium, take a city tour or stroll through Stanley Park, the city's urban wilderness, or explore the surrounding area on an interesting driving route. Don't miss the year-round markets or fail to take in a hockey game. Festivals? There is always something to celebrate in Vancouver. If all else fails, there is always that fabulous outdoor life the city is renowned for.

Set in quiet surroundings, the newly built, fully legal mobile home park offers affordable Spanish living to a very high standard. The park itself is an easy walk from Albatera town with its public swimming pool and gym as well as a plethora of bars, coffee shops and restaurants.

The town square of Albatera has cafes and is a great place to sit back, relax and watch the world go by. Albatera also has a busy market every Thursday with fresh fruit, vegetables, textiles and gifts on sale by local vendors. If you enjoy the great outdoors, Albatera Mobile Home Park is adjacent to a number of popular countryside walking routes or, if mountain walking is more your style, a ten minute drive will bring you to the nearby mountains with stunning scenery and

excellent walking routes. The local train service brings you to the cities of Alicante and Murcia for shopping trips or days out, and within a short drive of the mobile home park are a range of pretty Spanish villages just waiting to be explored. The mobile home park makes a great choice for retirees and those taking early retirement. It is a quiet, rural park just thirty minutes from Alicante airport. Plot prices are very reasonable and start at just €235 per month. You are free to landscape your plot to your own taste with plenty of space to park your car. What’s more, when you make the move, owners Chad and Jayne are more than happy to guide you through settling in to Spain and can help with paperwork, local advice and information about doctors, hospitals etc. Plots for rent and mobile homes for sale.

SPIRIT GUIDES

Everyone has a Spirit Guide – but who are they? Children. I speak to my Spirit Guides every day either through meditation or thought process called ‘telepathy’. Our spirit guides don’t have a voice-box so the voice we ‘hear’ will sound like our own, although the messages are coming direct from the spirit world. It is much the same when I am doing clairvoyant readings for a client. I know that any messages I receive either in word form or pictorial form are given to me by spirit and I love the confirmation I receive from a client about personal messages given direct from spirit no matter how bizarre the message appears to me! Our Spirit Guides never let us down. People will meet their Spirit Guides through different forms of communication such as meditation or in a group situation such as a psychic circle or through their local Spiritualist Church. Whichever way you choose to develop your spirituality please don’t give up if you don’t see your Spirit Guide at first. Your guide will develop you at a pace he or she feels is right for you and it is something that cannot be rushed. Everyone develops at a different pace and never compare yourself to others. I remember when I was in my psychic development class; I couldn’t

understand why others said they could see their spirit guide and all I could see of mine were long sleeves. However, looking back now, all the signs were there – I knew it was my guide even though I couldn’t see all of him. Yes, I felt my Guide was male! - I could actually feel him beside me even though I couldn’t ‘see’ all of him in my meditation. Of course, he appeared to me (all of him!) in my dream, and after that, he appeared in meditations whether I was alone or part of a group and I have seen him many times since!. Never be disheartened, and never feel that you have disappointed your guide as they are here to help us to learn from any mistakes we make in life. After all, we are human and our Spirit Guides will always be by our side in love and forgiveness. As the saying goes, ‘to err is human’. Our Spirit Guides love for us is unconditional and to meet and

Your main spirit guide will stay with you throughout your entire life and helps you to fulfil your earth mission. Other guides may make themselves known to you at different intervals on your life’s path. How you meet your Spirit Guide is a personal experience and is unique to you, be it through meditation or another form of spiritual development. I met my main spirit guide Zamil in a vivid dream. When I woke up, I felt loved and comforted in a way I couldn’t explain. I knew without a doubt that I had met my spirit guide and a few months later I had confirmation of this whilst sitting in the garden where, when I asked, he gave me his name and also told me where he had lived when he had inhabited his human body on the earthplane. I have since met my other Spirit guides Ruby – who is my psychic art Spirit Guide and has a wonderful sense of humour, Star, who brings with her a nature spirit quality and is often accompanied by woodland animals, and Amy, who is a little girl spirit that works with me when I am doing Spirit Rescue work, particularly when helping Spirit

communicate with them, is a very special and humbling experience. When we take a wrong turn in life, our guides will sometimes intervene to ensure we are guided back on the right path. If you are really stuck and need an answer, ask your guide to assist you and he or she will give you a way of resolving the problem. You may have to do some ‘digging’ yourself to find a solution, but if you want confirmation that you are on the right path, ask for a specific sign. These signs are often in the form of ‘coincidences’ or synchronistic events that your Spirit Guide has put on your path to make you sit up and take notice! Look out for the clues – they are out there. Once you have recognised them for what they are, remember to acknowledge this by thanking your Spirit Guide. After all, they really are your best friend.

Ref 2785

ell, one of the questions I get asked a lot is “what’s the difference between a Spirit Guide and a Guardian Angel”? The only way I can describe the difference is that our Guardian Angels are purely ‘Angels’ and they have never inhabited a human body. Within the book 'Spiritual Unfoldment by White Eagle, he calls the Guardian Angel ‘Custodian of the Karmic Law’ which rules all life. They record all our deeds, and help us to work out our own karma. Our Spirit Guides are different to the Angels as they have lived in a human body. They are ascended spirits from the human line of evolution and have had spiritual experiences themselves similar to those that we encounter in our own lifetime. Our Spirit Guides are there to help to guide us on our spiritual path, and who best to guide us than someone who understands what it is like to have lived on earth? Our Spirit Guides are now pure spirit and have no ego. Our main guide is known as our ‘doorkeeper’ or ‘gatekeeper’, and they are the guide who is assigned to us before we are born, to help guide us in understanding life’s many lessons. These lessons could be experiences that have not been resolved

Business Profile Business Profile: Please note that all information contained within this CostaBlanca People Business Profile has been provided by the client, and is therefore deemed correct and accurate. Any errors, omissions or inaccuracies are the sole responsibility of the client.

Caring for your mouth with Area Dental Area Dental Dr. Tárraga is located in the centre of Torrevieja, providing dentistry services since 1987. The clinic has been directed since its inception by Dr. Hilario Tárraga, backed by a professional career of more than 30 years. This week, we spoke to Dr. Tárraga about the clinic… What feature would you highlight about your clinic? We strive for quality dentistry and offer the patient the best alternatives for the correct treatment. We are different to those so called “low cost” clinics. We like to empathize with patients, talk to them and find the most appropriate solution for them because each patient is different and what is good for one may not be advisable for another. Do you deal with whole mouth care as well as general dentistry? There is an increasing interest and awareness in having a ‘healthy mouth’. With this in mind, nowadays we can avail from a wider range of preventive treatments and cosmetic procedures, which we are happy to offer advice on.

Are implants the star treatment in dentistry? Well, it is now very fashionable to have implants, but in my opinion, this must be the last option, as when we use implants it will be because the tooth is already missing or destroyed, due to not being well cared for or the failure of previous treatments. Where should we focus our own dental care nowadays? Primarily, prevention and maintenance as this will save on costly treatments later on. One of the important fields in dentistry is the relationship between the mouth and other illnesses. Do not forget that the mouth is part of our body and anything that can happen to it has an impact on the rest your body. For example, even bad chewing habits can be linked with other illnesses. Until we solve the oral origin of the problem, we will not succeed in the other treatments. What about the proliferation of franchises and dental insurance? Personally, if I were a patient of a dental clinic I would like to meet my doctor, and for he or she to be familiar with my needs and be my reference throughout treatment. In franchises or insurance led clinics, we rarely see a bond of affection and friendship with the patient, since often the patient is attended to each time by a different doctor. Treatments are less personal and often are made based on the profitability of the clinic and not the needs of the patient.

British Embassy rebrands Facebook page

RENAMED FACEBOOK PAGE BUILDS ON HIGHLY POPULAR ‘BRITS LIVING IN SPAIN’

Since its launch two years ago, the British Embassy’s ‘Brits living in Spain’ Facebook page has become a very popular and lively forum for unbiased information and debate on many important aspects of life in Spain. Now renamed ‘Brits in Spain’, the page better reflects its followers, who include the many who live here as well as some who visit. Topics include how to

register to vote in the EU referendum, where to get an EHIC, tips on learning Spanish and navigating Spanish officialdom, places to visit and news from the Embassy, amongst many others. Why the change in name? Simon Montague, Director of Communications at the Embassy, explains: “We are really pleased that so many people are ‘liking’ our Facebook page and actively using it to discover and share valuable information. “Three quarters of our 18,300 followers are in Spain, but a quarter are in the UK. So as well as acting as a popular forum for full-time residents, we also want to extend a welcome to the many thousands of Brits who have a second home here, and those who visit year after year on holiday.” In a recent Embassy survey of British residents, 72% who followed the Embassy’s Facebook page said it helped them integrate into life in Spain. Here are

some of their reasons for ‘liking’ it: “I feel more knowledgeable about living in Spain through following the Facebook feed.” “When you hear rumours about laws changing, you can always count on this page to confirm them, or receive correct information.” “I use it for friends or family who are coming here.” “It points me in the direction of useful things, which I then pin to my save list to access whenever I need to.” “I follow the page mainly for the photos and info on places to visit.” “I find your articles very interesting.” Mr Montague adds: “If you want to benefit from independent advice and others’ experiences, then do follow us. Simply search for ‘Brits in Spain’ on Facebook and ‘like’ our page.” ‘Brits in Spain’ is a sister channel to the Embassy’s ‘UKinSpain’ Facebook channel, which focuses on

institutional and political information and publishes in Spanish. Britons who are Twitter fans and want to keep up with the latest news from the Consular network can also follow @BritsliveSpain, as well as the comments and thoughts of the British Ambassador on @SimonManleyFCO.

Water bills most expensive in Murcia Tap water in Murcia is the most expensive in the country, and in Valladolid it is the cheapest, according to a leading Spanish consumer protection group. Differences of up to €454 a year in tariffs – or 349 percent - have been detected by FACUA Consumers in Action group, meaning that water bills are a postcode lottery. Basing their research on provincial capital cities alone, FACUA has found that

More 4

€21.98; Palma de Mallorca, at €21.92; Sevilla, at €20.85; Valencia, at €20.22; Almería, at €19.45, and Córdoba, at €19.38. None of these prices includes IVA or the standing charge for renting and maintenance of meters. FACUA says some water boards charge a higher fee for a meter with a calibre of 15mm than of 13mm, which it says is unjustified because there is no difference in performance. Yet prices have risen by 0.4 percent for 13mm meters and 0.5 percent for those of 15mm in diameter. And for 15mm meters, a consumption of 10 cubic metres is most expensive in the city of Alicante where a bill for this level of use would come in at an average of €48.62, followed by Murcia, at €29.35, and Huelva at €24.24. Whilst the average bill in Spain's cities for consumption at this level is €17.52, for a 15mm meter it rises to €18.92. Compared with FACUA's research from the year 2014, only 10 out of the 28 cities analysed have not varied their prices – A Coruña, Bilbao, Cuenca, Murcia, Palma de Mallorca, Pamplona, Salamanca, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Valladolid, and Zaragoza. Of the remaining 18, the highest price

hikes have been seen in Alicante, Barcelona and Jaén. FACUA says water boards should bill according to the number of inhabitants in each property, and apply progressivelyincreasing tariffs to discourage excess consumption. At present, only the cities of Málaga and Sevilla link their tariffs to number of occupants, although others such as Barcelona and A Coruña put households on a different charging scale where they have four or more people living at a given address. In another 17 towns and cities in Spain, water boards take into account whether occupants of addresses with three or more people are part of the same family or are merely flatmates, in order to apply reduced tariffs. FACUA has also called for water boards to take measures to ensure those in poverty or who simply cannot afford to pay their water bills are never left with their supply cut off. The consumer giant was keen to point out that water has been declared a basic human right by the United Nations.

Inside Jaguar: Making a Million Pound

The key to a good night’s sleep Before you drift off to sleep each night, there's a good chance you slide into a familiar position. Maybe you roll over to your right side and pull your knees into your chest, or perhaps you lie flat on your back, arms at your sides as if you're in "corpse pose" at the end of a yoga class. While you may think this pre-sleep move is simply your way of getting comfy, experts say it can actually tell you a lot about your personality—and your health. Robert Phipps, a body language expert in England, conducted a survey for a popular U.K. budget hotel chain and found a connection between certain sleeping positions and psychological characteristics (think of it like a horoscope of sleep positions). And Chris Idzikowski, another British researcher and director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, conducted similar research—and found comparable results. While some sleep experts scoff at the

broad-sweeping connections Phipps and Idzikowski have claimed, what you can look at is the more widely studied physiological issues that can result from sleeping in certain positions, says Rachel Salas, MD, assistant medical director for the Johns Hopkins Center for Sleep. “There are a number of physical issues that can pop up as a result of sleeping in the same position on a regular basis,” she says. Here's a look at the three most common sleeping positions, what they could be saying about your personality and health, and how to make little tweaks to wake up more refreshed. If you sleep on…your side Your sleep-o-scope: Curl up in the foetal position and it could mean you're a worrier, according to Phipps' survey. You may also be tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. If you sleep with both arms stretched out in front of you, you've likely got an open nature—but you also

may be yearning for more in life, ready to conquer everything life throws your way. Your potential health woes: Sidesleeping can cause nerve compression in the arms and legs, which can lead to chronic pain, says Salas. Research also shows that acid reflux can worsen when you sleep on your side, particularly if you tend to roll onto your right side. “To combat these issues, sleep next to a body pillow, says Salas, to help support your back and neck. You might also try sleeping with a thin pillow between your knees to give your back extra support.” If you sleep on… your back Your sleep-o-scope: Sleeping like a log— body straight, arms beside you—can indicate that you're inflexible and rigid, according to Phipps, with a tendency to be bossy, stubborn, and set in your ways. But if your arms drift above your head, there's a good chance you're always ready to listen to and help others, making you a great friend.

Your potential health woes: While back sleeping is actually great for those with back or neck pain (it aligns your spine and puts minimal pressure on the nerves in your extremities, says Salas), it can make you more prone to snoring and sleep apnoea—two conditions that can be annoying to bed partners at best and detrimental to your health at worst. Sleeping on your back can also make acid reflux worse, keeping you awake throughout the night. Try propping yourself up with an extra pillow under your head, says Salas, if you're dealing with acid reflux or snoring. If you sleep on…your stomach Your sleep-o-scope: If you like to drift off face-down with your arms outstretched

(Phipps coined this position ‘the freefaller’) it could mean that you often feel like you don't have much control over what happens in your life or that you're just hanging on for the ride. If this is the case, you may wake up feeling anxious or worried about your to-dos. Your potential health woes: Due to the fact that most beds aren't built like massage tables with holes for us to breathe so that we can keep our neck in line with our spine, it means you likely sleep with your neck turned to one side or another. The result? “This causes a great deal of neck strain that can lead to muscle spasms and chronic pain issues,” says Salas. The solution: Train yourself to sleep on your side or back, she says, as the neck extension that's required to breathe easily is just too extreme on the body.

Any later and your body temperature and adrenaline levels will be too high. In order to feel sleepy, your body temperature needs to be dropping. Take a bath Enjoy a long, hot soak in the tub an hour or so before bedtime. The warm water will help to relax you. Add lavender or lilac-scented bath oil to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Block out the noise If you have problems dropping off but tend to sleep well once you do, try wearing ear plugs. Research shows that unfamiliar sounds during the first and last two hours of sleep can suppress immune system function, even if you don’t wake up. Cut back on caffeine Don’t drink tea or coffee after 2.00pm. Both are stimulants which interfere with the process of falling asleep. Six hours after your last cup of coffee, half the caffeine will still be in your system. Remember that cola and energy drinks contain caffeine too.

sleep. Studies suggest that having a drink before bed will cause you to wake up every 90 minutes or so throughout the night. Quit smoking Research shows that smokers take longer to fall asleep and have more disrupted sleep once they do. Learn to relax If thoughts of the day make it hard to drop off, try listening to relaxing music, meditating or doing some gentle yoga before bed. Write down your worries If you’re going through a difficult time or are busy at work, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Try writing down your worries or making a list of things you need to do. Once you’ve written the list, put it away. Keep going over things won’t help. Don't lie awake worrying If you’ve been awake for a while it’s better to get up and do something rather than lie there worrying that you can’t sleep.

Eat a banana Bananas contain tryptophan which stimulates the production of melatonin and serotonin in the brain. They also contain magnesium, a natural muscle relaxant Think in images, not words While trying to fall asleep, think in images, not in words. It’s impossible to clear your mind of all thoughts. But it's somewhat easy to switch off the language center of the brain. What happens after that is a flow of images, starting with ones that make some sense to my current life, quickly followed by randomness, then sleep. It usually takes less than a minute.

She has been spooked several times by well intentioned people trying to catch her. Unfortunately she is so nervous and timid that she should not be approached by strangers. Please if you see her, ignore her, and ring 660832360 immediately. To remind you Elena is a medium sized

Neville via email asks: I have downloaded Firefox so that I may stop the `pop up' ads. Being 78 I'm struggling to proceed, please advise. Aunty Says: Hello Neville. Firefox by itself probably won’t stop those annoying pop-up adverts, what you need is the additional plug-in for Firefox called “adblock”. You

can download it from www.adblockplus.org for free but they do ask for a voluntary donation which you can opt out of. You should also scan your computer with the free Malwarebytes as pop-up ads are also a sign of a possible spyware infection. Pat via email asks: Hi aunty. I recently upgraded to windows 10 and find that my printer

Technology doesn't work. I have a z640 series colour Lexmark inkjet. I have looked to download drivers but my printer isn't listed in windows 10, is there an alternative or is it now obsolete? Thank you in anticipation. Aunty Says: Hi Pat. Try the Widows 7 drivers as these will often install and work fine with Windows 10. Lesley via email asks: I have just bought a new laptop from the UK with Windows 10 which has the Microsoft Home Student Office 2016 app installed but annoyingly this

turned out to only be a trial and is now saying that it will expire in 10 days. When I look at the buying option it is asking for $149 which I can’t really afford. I really only use Word but I use all day and every day and have tried the free Open Office but it seems far more complicated to use. Is there any other simple alternative (free or cheap) program I can download? Aunty Says: Hi Lesley. Maybe try Google Docs or Libre Office which are both free and work as really good substitutes for most of the Microsoft Office programs, maybe also download some of the many free user manuals/tutorials. Windows does come with a perfectly usable word processor called Wordpad, which you can find by typing wordpad into the search box by the start button. Jan from Aguas Nuevas asks: Hi Aunty. I am still using Windows XP on an old laptop and I sometimes get sent emails with a .MOV attachment from my friend. When I click on them I get a message saying ".MOV not recognized by Windows Media Player". What should I do? Aunty Says: Any files that have the .mov extension are designed for Apple’s Quicktime media player app and there are a few things you can do to view them. My preferred option is to download the brilliant VLC player from www.download.com which I use and pretty much plays every type of video or music file. I don’t think Quicktime is supported on Windows 8 or 10, but as you are still on XP then you could download Quicktime for Windows from www.apple.com and let it set itself as your default media player. Any questions then email me at auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com. See you all next week.

90% of those at risk of diabetes are unaware glucose effectively. While type 1 diabetes, which is where the body physically cannot produce insulin, is irreversible and thought to be caused by genetic and environmental factors, type 2 is triggered by lifestyle. People who are overweight and obese, are at greater risk of the condition. And in many cases, through improved diet and regular exercise, those with type 2 can reverse their illness. Furthermore, experts warn there is a lesser-known form of diabetes, a

As many as one in three adults are at risk of developing diabetes, according to a new study. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, experts claim that 90% of those at risk - those who have

prediabetes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are unaware. The most prevalent form of diabetes is the type 2 variety, where a person's body is unable to use insulin to break down

precursor to the type 2 variety, which acts as an alarm bell, warning of the dangerous condition that is to come. Prediabetes is where a person's blood sugar levels are too high, but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes. And alarmingly scientists say 90 per cent of those people who have prediabetes, are unaware they have the condition, which significantly increases their risk of type 2 diabetes. One in three adults in the US and UK are thought to be suffering prediabetes,

a study has revealed. Yet, fewer than 25 per cent of patients who meet the criteria for the condition are treated. University of Florida experts found doctors are neglecting key opportunities to prevent their patients developing fullblown diabetes. Study author Dr Arch Mainous III said: 'One of the keys to diabetes prevention is detection and management of people with prediabetes.

New regulations for off road vehicle plates

Having an animal in the vehicle that could interfere with the driver can result in a fine, so a dog sitting loose on the front seat for example is not allowed. Carrying animals which are not properly restrained is dangerous to them too. The same applies for cases, cages and boxes with the animal inside, they too must be properly secured. Potential fine: 80 euro Reason: Animals are unpredictable, especially in environments they are unsure of or not used to. If loose, they could interfere with the driver´s ability or

The D.G.T. (Dirección General de Trafico) has passed a law which permits the use of smaller number plates for "off-road" motorcycles of reduced dimensions (132x96mm). Some motorcycle clubs and associations have been asking for this change in the legislation for some time now. This change in the law is due to the fact that "dirt bikes" can be subject to more bangs and falls and the number plate can produce serious cuts and

contusions to the rider or pillion. The reduction in size helps the plate adapt better to the rear mudguard and not overhang too much. The informative note from the D.G.T. explains the change thus: "It improves the safety of two-wheeled motorcycle trial and enduro riders by allowing the number plate to be smaller, eliminating the risk of excessive overhang on the vehicle."

Gig Guide

I am thrilled to let you know that I am now officially the Entertainments Manager for Breakaways Bar in Pichon de Tiron. This smashing bar is a new venue for live entertainment, something that is much needed in the area. It is unusual as it has a stage as well as an in house pa system. This makes my job much easier when booking acts, as most Benidorm acts don’t have one. We will be regularly having some of the top acts on the Costa Blanca. Richie Alexander has already filled the venue and delighted the locals. This Saturday at 9pm one of the most beloved female

entertainers will be performing. Dee is well known on the circuit, not only for her incredible range of vocals but also her warm personality, which draws people to her. Dee has performed at Benidorm Palace and has also been the support act for Il Divo Tribute at Los Rosales. We have set up a new Facebook page where all the upcoming shows are advertised – “Breakaways Bar 2016”. We will be bringing acts from all over the area and also supporting local charities. My job, as I may keep on saying is to keep entertainment alive on the Costas. If the public don’t know who is on

where, how can they attend? My biggest gripe is when a show is advertised or posted the day after it happened. Forward planning is everything and the most popular and well attended bars and venues are those who let the public know well in advance what they have on. My service for this newspaper and to book acts is FREE. As a booking agent, it is only the acts that pay me – never the venue. Which is a win, win situation for any venue as by booking my acts, many of whom are exclusive to me, the venues are getting publicity and a top rate

service, plus freeing up their time to run their business. Competition – Last Chance to Win 2 Tickets for “Gaga For Benidorm Tom” on March 26th All you have to do is answer the question that is on the competition page of Lets Rock Shows website. www.lrshows.com. All the correct answers will be drawn from a hat by a member of Costa Blanca People’s staff. The winner will be notified by email and the results printed in next week’s edition. Closing date is March 16th. This competition is exclusive to The Costa

Blanca People and Lets Rock Shows. Entrance must be at least 16 years old. Other than that, anyone can enter once for free. Good luck, and if you can’t wait to get your tickets they are on sale in all the usual outlets or call on 697501992 to reserve. If you would like your events in this guide, they are FREE.

Emergency chemist In every town on the Costa Blanca, you will find a chemist open out of hours. In some larger towns such as Torrevieja, some chemists open throughout the day with no ‘siesta’, or even until 9pm and over weekends. The duty chemist can change on a weekly basis and in some towns, local pharmacies take turns to be ‘on duty’ out of hours and through the night for emergencies. If you approach an emergency chemist and it appears to be closed, look closer as often for security reasons, out of hours business is done via a small hatch

through which prescriptions, payment and medication can be passed.

Tales from the Imanyo Golf Society “St Patrick’s Shield” at Altorreal Top Flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

Is it just me, or are revivals in football getting shorter and shorter? Take Chelsea for example. They were at a revival factor of seven and a half after going unbeaten in the Premier League since Guus came in to steady the ship. However, following their fairly empty departure from the Champions League against PSG and then Saturday’s exit from the FA Cup, one would presume that revival factor has dropped significantly. Manchester United, having won some games and even scored some goals looked as though their revival might have peaked at factor eight. However, the defeat at WBA was followed up by one of the worst United performances of recent memory (and there has been some stiff competition for that accolade this season) in a 2-0 Europa League loss at Liverpool. Spurs were in the opposite of a revival, so revival factor minus three having lost to West Ham, drawn with Arsenal and been given a Europa League lesson in football Dortmund style. Dortmund, previously managed by Jurgen Klopp, won comfortably 3-0. Whom do you need to play to restart a revival? Aston Villa of course! Spurs duly thumped them 2-0, Harry Kane helping himself to a couple of goals. This whole revival thing begs a few questions. Are Palace in revival now they are in the FA Cup Semi Final? Their 2-0 win over Reading, no matter how late they left it, could be seen as the spark to turning their league form around. For every person that thinks that, be sure to remember Wigan a few seasons ago. Cup winners and relegated in the same season. Not that I think Palace will be relegated, but they do need to win a league game at some point.

If I know Rafa Benitez, which I don’t incidentally, he will be reading this column and be most miffed that it has taken to the fourth paragraph for his return to the Premier League to get a mention. I tell you what Rafa, you thought managing the egos of Real Madrid was difficult? Try this lot at St James Park. The worst kept secret of the week was McLaren keeping his Newcastle gig whilst Ashley’s minions went to see if they could talk Benitez into replacing him. They didn’t have to try too hard, Rafa was already walking from Merseyside to Tyneside when they found him by the side of the motorway sipping some water and explaining to the passing cars why it is very important to have seven defensive players on the pitch. If Rafa keeps them up he wins a three year deal. That is a very big if. By the time you read this, Rafa will have realised how big his task is having taken a beating by Leicester. Or Rafa will

be the new Tyneside messiah having beaten the league leaders. Either way. Bournemouth must be safe now. On the south coast Eddie Howe’s boys came off the sunny side up in a five-goal thriller, beating Swansea. Swansea manager, Guardolin, has recently been in hospital with heart trouble. Having seen his side come from a goal behind twice, only to lose, would suggest that the outpatients department might have had a visitor Sunday morning. Stoke and Southampton ended in a Southampton win. Roberto Martinez likes the FA Cup, having won it already in his career. He likes it even more now as Roman Lukaku finally scored against his old club to see the Toffees through to the semi finals. Both teams ended with ten men. Diego Costa, equally unbelievably as expectedly, saw red for only the second time in his career and Gareth Barry got two yellows for the Merseyside team. There was talk that Costa might have had a nibble on Barry Suarez style, though Everton were keen to play that down after the game. This made PSG’s midweek tweet, calling Costa a fraud, finally make sense. Because you only get 180 characters on Twitter the tweet meant to say “Diego Costa models himself on Luis Suarez, but he is a fraud. I mean, he hasn’t even bitten anyone!” Louis van Gaal has said many times that he would rather win the FA Cup than the Europa League, words that must have still been ringing in the ears of his players at Anfield on Thursday night. United played West Ham on Sunday and they needed Martial to cancel out Payet’s wonder strike for the visitors. This was the only quarter final to need a replay, which won’t bother United too much as they are likely to have midweek’s free quite soon. Arsenal fans were talking a lot about how special winning the FA Cup three times in a row would be. If you fell into their trap, you’d have ended up believing that it was better than winning the Premier League, Champions League and the World Cup all in the same season. Therefore, their quarter final with Watford had to be one of the biggest games in the famous old club’s history, surely? We all know how Arsenal perform when the pressure is on. In one of the most nailed on sending’s off since Cameroon played Argentina in Italia ’90, Arsenal’s Gabriel saw red for removing Deeney’s legs from his body. Ighalo, without a goal for a fair while, ended that drought to give Watford the lead and Guedioura unleashed a thunderbolt that nearly took the net off to make it two. Welbeck pulled one back very late before missing an injury time sitter that put paid to any hopes of a historic feat. I have a new theory on Manchester City. It goes like this. Aguero got all the boys in the dressing room and suggested something like “look lads, Pep is going to get rid of all of us this summer. Even me, and I am way better than all of you (looking at Yaya Toure in particular when he said that bit). Here’s my idea. Let’s be rubbish for the rest of the season so that all his new players don’t get to play in the Champions League next year!” No? How else could City draw 0-0 with Norwich? The real test of my theory will come in the match at the Etihad midweek, where City will look to defend their first leg lead against Kyiv. If they lose that, then that conversation definitely happened.

This was the first time the St Patrick’s Shield has been played for, thank you to Ronnie King for sponsoring the shield and days golf. Sixteen players met at Imanyo’s where the day started with the usual full English breakfast, the format was full handicap stableford, then on returning to Imanyo’s we drew four holes for double points which still gave everybody a chance. The venue was Altorreal where we were greeted by Antonio and his staff and as usual everything was ready and waiting and the course was in very good condition. Winner of the “St Patrick’s Shield” representing Ireland was (no not Eamon Murphy) but his wife Carol

Murphy with 33 points, runner up was Dave Moore with 31 points. Only two of the four nearest the pins were won, hole 5 was won by Richard Houghton and hole 8 was won by Carol Murphy, not Eamon! I’m afraid to say that the Endeavour award went to our sponsor Ronnie King, I shall not mention his

score but it is lowest this year! The football card was won by Terry Burton with Stoke City winning €20 which he donated back to the charity therefore adding another €40 for Caritas Daya Nueva. We also drew the results for the blind auction we have been doing for the past 2 months for an amazing, original, one off pencil drawing of Tiger Woods by Alan Rodger, the highest bidder was Neil Adams with a fantastic €105 which will also go to Caritas Daya Nueva. We would like to thank Ronnie King for sponsoring the day with some great prizes and novelty gifts, also Antonio, Norma and staff at Imanyo’s Bar for the fantastic food and great hospitality.

THE SUNSHINE FINALS There are certain petanca matches that remain in your memory and the final of the Radio Sunshine Petanca League's Cup and Plate was one of those. It was held on the 9th March at Domino Bar in Los Altos. The weather didn't behave

itself that well as the day started off cool and very windy. The sun did eventually show its face but the wind was there most of the time the matches were in progress. The Cup match was between The Pumas and Rocajuna petanca clubs and although the Pumas won the first two triples they failed to win any further matches and Rocajuna claimed the Cup with a 5 - 2 win. Congratulations

Rocajuna and to both teams for playing in a joyful and fair manner. The Plate was a closely contested fight between Costa Knights and Los Altos Jets. After the first four triples the Jets were 3- 1 up, so the Knights had to win all three doubles - whew, no pressure then! - . The Knights won 1 double 13 - 3, then the 2nd , so it all rested on the 3rd and the excitement reached fever pitch and although the Knights played well it was The Jets who took the match. The Jets were the winners with a 4 - 3 score. Big congratulations. This match caused some fun as both teams wear the same colour shirts so if not knowing who held the shot, all one had to do was

shout ' come on you purples'...can do no wrong then. Both finals were played in a fun and friendly way and afterwards all present were very well fed and lots of laughter could be heard. The Committees thanks go Domino Bar for hosting the occasion and to Colin for being the referee, who was kept so busy during some matches. The Sunshine Winter League is now complete but in the next two weeks they have the A.G.M. on the 23rd March, and the presentation of cups and medals on the 30th March. The presentation is accompanied by a delicious hog roast and all the trimmings. The Sunshine Summer League starts on Wednesday 6th April. Susan Ward

INFINITY GOLF SOCIETY Following last week’s monthly handicap qualifying competitions played from plates in which Mal Foskett won the Stroke Play with a score of 74, second Hadge Armstong 76 and the Stableford resulted in joint winners Stan Low and Terry Sayers with 34 points, it would have been expected that results of this week’s completions played from the blocks would have been even better. However on arrival at the course on both days we were met by cold and windy conditions which negated any advantage we could have expected by playing the significantly shortened course. The results were Tuesday Stableford won by Mal Foskett 34 points 2nd Hadge Armstrong 32 and Thursday Dave Nicholls 36 which included 2 twos.

We are a newly formed Society for men playing their golf every Tuesday - first tee time approx. 09.14 and Thursday - first tee time approx, 10.04 at La Marquesa Golf, Ciudad Quesada. The intention is to limit the Society to between 20 to 24

members playing regularly and having playing handicaps of 18 or less. We play one Stroke Play and one Stableford competition per month from the plates for the purpose of handicap adjustments and the remaining games are Stableford format from the blocks. Currently we have 12 members and therefore have a limited number of places available. If you are interested in joining us you can find us at The Old Ninth Bar Restaurant (over looking Super Valu car park) following each game .We are easily recognisable in our distinctive society shirts If you like more information about the Society call Dave Nicholls on 966 719 672 or mobile 639 488 795.

CostaBlancaPeople March 15th - 21st 2016

TORRY BEAT LOCAL RIVALS ELCHE ILICITANO IN A 6 GOAL THRILLER On Sunday Torry entertained 3rd placed Elche Ilicitano, Elche CF´s reserve side who had a good record on the road having won 7 , drawn 3 and lost 3 . In their side was ex Torry defender Ruben and the leagues leading goal scorer Nuha who has found the back of the net 18 times this season going into the game. Ex Torry youngster Brani was present but not in the Elche squad. Torry went into the game on the back of two 3 -0 away defeats and needed a win to consolidate their mid-table position ans send their supporters home happy. Torry were without defender Martin through injury and Matej through suspension. playmaker Ruben Suarez was surprising left out and replaced by veteran Carrasco and Quintero came in for Sanchez. Jorge also made a welcome return after injury. The Torry line up: Miguel Serna, Vicente Boix (Ruben Suarez 45 '), Luis Carlos, Javi Selvas, Jorge © (Sánchez 72'), Quintero, Higón, Burguillos © 2 ,Carrasco (Prieto 66 '), Rafa Gomez and Lewis. Not used: Quique and Chupe The game kicked off with the sun out in front of a crowd of 350+ on a grass pitch which was in superb condition. Torry started on the front foot and got an early goal to calm their nerves and give themselves a platform to build on. In the 7th minute Rafa Gomez swung in an excellent free-kick which the Elche keeper didn´t come for and Quintero reacted the quickest to hook the ball beyond the keeper into the bottom corner of the net. After 13 minutes after a Torry corner wasn´t cleared properly Luis Carlos struck a half-volley which flew just beyond the far post. Torry were the more dominant but Elche started to come a bit more into

the game and after 20 minutes Ruben struck a shot from a corner against the Torry crossbar with the rebound being struck just wide of the upright. After 27 minutes Torry got undone down the right and Nuha met the cross in with a downward header which produced a diving save from Serna. After 30 minutes Higon had a shot on the turn well saved by the Elche keeper. After 31 minutes a pivotal moment in the game when an Elche defender received a second yellow card and then a red card and trooped off the field of play. After 34 minutes a good delivery by Carrasco presented Lewis with a close range header but he glanced it wide from a great position. After 37 minutes after a Torry free-kick wasn´t cleared Burguillos set Jorge up for a venomous shot which flew across goal and just wide. After 38 minutes a timely intervention by Luis Carlos prevented the Elche no 11 getting in on goal after he had jinked his way through. After 39 minutes Torry broke quickly and had a two on one with Burguillos putting Lewis in the clear but his first touch was heavy and the keeper got to the ball first. A golden opportunity wasted. Torry had a tap in from Lewis dis-allowed for offside just before the break. Vicente didn´t appear for the second half after taking a knock in the first half and was replaced by Ruben Suarez. Elche brought on a second striker Rubio. Torry took the game to 10 men Elche and Carrasco had a great chance to extend Torrys lead but curled his

effort just wide of the post. Elche started to get more into the game again and after 15 minutes their no.9 Nuha planted a good header from a corner into the back of the Torry net for the equaliser. This gave Elche encouragement. After 18 minutes Quintero had a fierce effort palmed away by the Elche keeper after good inter-play with Ruben Suarez set up the chance. Elche then countered and Rubio was sent racing through on the Torry goal and he finished superbly to give Elche the lead.

Barcelona take a stroll in the park A visit to the Nou Camp is no easy matter for any team, but Getafe looked as if they would have preferred to be elsewhere as Barcelona ran in six without breaking sweat, making one almost wish for a Wimbledon or Leeds of old to go and ‘rough them up a bit.’ Aletico stayed eight points down by easing past Deportivo 3-0, but Real Madrid had a much stiffer task, with a visit to Las Palmas. Sergio Ramos put them ahead with a neat header in the first half, but they then lost the plot, and Las Palmas eventually equalized, before Casemiro popped up with an unlikely winner in the last minute, to keep them four points behind their neighbours. Sevilla had a good 42 win over Villareal to keep the Castellón side in sight, just five points ahead of them, but it is now worth noting that some 27 points separate Barcelona from Sevilla, in fifth place. Things are much tighter at the bottom, where ten clubs are covered by nine points, and nobody is safe. This was proved when bottom club Levante beat neighbours Valencia by a single goal, to move a little closer to salvation. In the second division, nobody seems to want to go up! All the top contenders contrived to lose

at the weekend, leaders Leganés going down at home to Tenerife, their first defeat at the Butarque in almost a year. Local side Elche had an excellent 1-2 away win at Mirandés, their striker Sergio León now taking the lead in the division’s scoring tables with 17 after scoring both of Elche’s goals. In division 2B, group 1 saw longtime leaders Racing Ferrol fall back a little as their better known namesakes from Santander won to catch up a little. In group 2, Real Madrid Castilla, suffering, no doubt, from Zidane’s plundering of their team for the first team went down badly 4-0 at Socuéllamos, leaving Barakaldo way clear, as are Villareal B in group 3, where Hercules and Alcoyano both registered wins. In

group 4, both Murcia sides crashed, but stay just clear of the rest. The FA Cup in England saw holders Arsenal crash out to unfancied Watford, whilst Crystal Palace reached their first semifinal. Everton got the better of Chelsea as Diego Costa tried a spot of cannibalism – and was rewarded with a red card. Manchester United came from behind to equalise their tie with West Ham, but will find Upton Park less than welcoming. Meanwhile, in the league, Tottenham sneaked to within a couple of points of leaders Leicester, who now face Rafa Benitez’s new charges, Newcastle, as we go to press. Malcolm Palmer

The Torry fans were shell-shocked. Torry lost their way for a while but started to open up the Elche rearguard again. On 28 minutes Higon had a shot blocked ans soon after Higon drilled in a hard low cross which Lewis missed. After 33 minutes Torry got the equaliser after substitute Prieto set up Rafa Gomez who drilled a fine shot into the bottom corner of the net. 2 minutes later Torry were in front with a cross being rifled into the roof of the net by Ruben Suarez. After 40

minutes Prieto made it four for Torry from a finely executed direct free-kick. A pulsating game which sent the Torry fans home happy after a bit of a mid second half crisis. Torry remain in a comfortable mid-table position with Elche slipping to 4th in the table Torry make the long trip to Castellon next Sunday to meet now 3rd placed CD Castellon. Hopefully they can return home with something against a side which is in a rich vein of form. . Darrylldinho

A quick note to the England Rugby team. A game of rugby lasts 80 minutes, not 70. England’s victory over Wales saw them lift the Triple Crown, but not before the majority of the Twickenham crowd had reduced their finger nails to skin as Wales threatened to steal victory from the jaws of defeat. England were cruising at half time, 19-0 and then 257. Two quick tries from the Welsh threatened to turn a cantering victory into a complete disaster and Eddie Jones will have been a relieved man at the final whistle. Saturday’s mixed emotions became Sunday champions champagne. Scotland beat France, their first home win in eight attempts, to hand the Auld Enemy the Six Nations title. Victory against France will see England claim the Grand Slam. Everything clicked for Ireland as they destroyed Italy 58-15, as a gentle rugby side note. We’ve not had a sporting scandal for a while now, so it was great to see Maria Sharapova step up to the plate. The Russian (anyone else smelling a rat already?) Grand Slam title winning former world number one tennis player called a press conference at the start of last week. Many thought, considering Sharapova is currently “injured” once again that she may be calling time on her career. Well those people may well be right, but in surprise circumstances. Sharapova took the scandal bull by the

horns and told the world that she had failed a drugs test. Her drug of choice, meldonium, had recently moved from the “we’ll turn a blind eye to this one” to the “get caught taking that and there will be big trouble” list in December of last year. Sharapova and her team failed to open the letter, which smacks a little of not opening the final demand in the hope the bill goes away. Sharapova was taking “full responsibility” and had been

prescribed this drug by a “doctor” for the last ten years, and those pesky drugs testers even changed the name of it to make it more difficult for her to know it was now banned. On the face of it, the media all went “ah, isn’t it nice she spoke up and accepted her guilt.” By Wednesday more of the full story was emerging. Meldonium was only really supposed to be prescribed for a matter of months, not a decade, if being used for genuine medical reasons. Sharapova and her team had “ignored” up to ten warnings. Sharapova is “known on the circuit as a big cheat” according to one player on the WTA tour. Nike managed to steal the show though, dropping

Sharapova immediately whilst keeping the twice caught and severely punished Justin Gaitlin on it’s books. American company in shock double standards headlines are sure to be seen nowhere anytime soon. In other tennis news, as if the tennis world needed more “news” this week, Andy Murray has been told he needs to “calm down if he is to reach his potential” by none other than the father of world number one Djokovic. In all seriousness, why would the father care about his son’s number one rival reaching his potential, and go as far as advising him on how to do it? This is clearly a double bluff. Andy, take my advice, albeit slightly less qualified. Do not calm down at all, in fact get even less calm on the tennis court. That’ll show them. Djokovic to beat Murray in the Davis Cup, Wimbledon and US Open, place your bets now. England make their World T20 entrance on Wednesday against the West Indies, but Ireland and Scotland have already had their go. The Irish managed to lose to Oman in their opening game, before losing to the Dutch on Sunday. They lost the Bangladesh match to the weather, which probably did more to spare their blushes than knock them out of the tournament. Scotland’s cricket team now share an unenviable record with their football team. They are equally incapable of qualifying from their group, having matched their 2007 and 2009 campaigns with two defeats. Scotland lost to Afghanistan and then Zimbabwe to book their early flights home.
