Eduardo Dolon: Deputy of Tourism EDUARDO DOLON, the former Mayor of Torrevieja has been appointed the Deputy of Tourism for Alicante. The president of the Delegation of Alicante, Cesar Sanchez, announced his first appointments through a decree that will form the government team to address the issues of the day and ensure the functioning of the provincial institution. Sanchez, will soon appoint other delegations, and administer a strategic plan to meet the needs of the province’s municipalities in the framework of the 2015-2019 legislature.

The President also announced that Carlos Castillo Márquez as Spokesperson for the Grupo Popular in the areas of the President, Economy, International relations and Coordination of the Government. Adrián Ballester Espinosa is the deputy speaker. Eduardo Dolón Sánchez will oversee Municipalities and Tourism for province and Alejandro Morant Climent for Finance and Administration, which includes Finance, Procurement, Human Resources and General Secretariat. Finally, Congressman Jaime Lloret Lloret will control the areas of Emergencies, Architecture and General Services.

The first appointments respond to government priorities and the needs of internal organization of the institution. Eduardo Dolon stressed his commitment to the provincial government team though his post overseeing municipalities in addition to addressing the important role with the Tourist Board, as we enter the full summer season. Castillo will manage the area of the Presidency encompassing the coordination of government departments. Alejandro Morant will direct the administrative machinery of government itself and Lloret takes over as head of security and emergency at a time of year when the risk of wildfire across the province is at its highest.

During the week that Torrevieja takes it place on the World Stage and is broadcast throughout Spain on National TV thanks to the Habaneras Contest, Eduardo Dolon, announced that the Provincial Tourism Board will

strengthen support for the Habaneras in Torrevieja in the next edition, the 62nd that Torrevieja will stage. The vice president of the Provincial Council of Alicante and Deputy Tourism, has attended every evening of the 61st edition of the International Contest of Habanera and Polyphony of Torrevieja, which closed on Sunday night However, it seems that the ruling five party coalition in Torrevieja are not all happy with the appointment of Eduardo Dolon as Deputy of Costa Blanca Tourism. At the awards ceremony on Friday evening, Eduardo Dolon told the media that he was prevented from presenting a prize at the Habaneras Festival that the Diputación sponsors to the tune of 25,000€. Eduardo Dolon stated that the new Government had rejected the idea to invite Eduardo to give the award. Eduardo said: "this situation is a typical provocation to produce a conflict between the new Torrevieja government and the institution of Alicante, but with my new position as the Minister responsible for the Tourism in the Costa Blanca, I will continue to support the Habaneras Contest, with or without the help of the new government."

He added; "You all know what my views are, but I don’t think that one can govern with hatred and rancour.

I mean it. And it seems to me that someone did not want to recognise that the Costa Blanca Tourism Board is the one, which endowed the Habaneras Contest with 25,000€. I think it is a pretty serious mistake by the government team. I would put this down to the mayor, because he is the head of the Habaneras Board. The Mayor should understand that Eduardo Dolon, is not a person to represent the council but would have done so as the deputy provincial for Costa Blanca Tourism. With this attitude, you would think that the Torrevieja Government want to find a reason to stop the Costa Blanca Tourist Board supporting the event…”

Eduardo Dolon added; “When we speak of international tourist interest you know that our contest is declared as such and therefore there is an amount of

Eduardo Dolon enjoying the last night of Habaneras

sponsorship money that is used for promotion.” He also noted; “that the agreement with the organiser of Habaneras Contest is that whomever subsidizes an awards, is that the award be named after the institution.

However this did not happen last night.”

About the Contest, the Deputy of the Costa Blanca Tourism Board stated that "this is the most important contest of choral music in the world," and he emphasized the high level and the quality of the invited choirs as well as the work done by the Habaneras, “especially the work of the technical commission and staff throughout the year that ensures that each and every aspects of the event promotes Habaneras around the World plus I do not want to forget the involvement and good work of staff, volunteers and support staff these days'.”

Spain’s Minister of Industry, Energy and Tourism José Manuel Soria noted during his last visit to Torrevieja that: “the Government of Spain treat the Tourist Municipality of Torrevieja, in a very favourable way. The Ministry will proceed to restart the paperwork to allow the city to receive financial compensation from the Government to improve the Tourism offerings in the city due to the large numbers of hundreds of thousands of people, many of them with second homes in the region, who make up Torrevieja’s ‘floating population’, through changes to the Local Finance Law.” Being Deputy of the Costa Blanca Tourism Board will see Eduardo Dolon travelling much of Europe and Spain promoting the region, and of course, when given the opportunity; Torrevieja. Eduardo Dolon takes over the post of Deputy Provincial Tourism Costa Blanca from his numbe two in Torrevieja and the former Deputy Mayor, Joaquín Albaladejo. Albaladejo noted that over the last four years the Costa Blanca Tourist Board attended 89 different exhibitions in Europe, Russia and for the first time, the USA. While Eduardo Dolon will not attend all of these in person, he will always be present at the larger and most important events to promote the region, especially in the UK, Ireland, Russia, Scandinavia and many cities throughout Spain.

University warns of Earthquake risk THE UNIVERSITY of Alicante issues a warning about the "seismic hazard" in the region and Professor Antonio Aledo wants to ensure that the population, "including foreign residents and tourists, should have more information about the behaviour in case of earthquakes” A study by the University of Alicante warns that the province should not forget the risk of "seismic hazard". In this regard, the UA issued a statement on Friday recalling that one of the most powerful earthquakes in Spain occurred in 1829 in Torrevieja with more than 389 dead and 209 wounded. So, from that year, studies on the "social vulnerability" have been included in the management of natural hazards and the analysis of new technological solutions. In this context, the Professor of the Department of Sociology of the University of Alicante, Antonio Aledo, has warned that "because of real estate speculation and management of public budgets based on income from the real estate business, most municipalities have forgotten the seismic hazard."

Taking as reference the town of Torrevieja, the professor has published an article on seismic risk in tourist towns since "technological solution proposed in its Municipal Action Plan against earthquakes does not seem enough." According to the professor, "the residential tourism model implemented in Torrevieja has not only created economic risk by the crisis in the construction and social risk as the poorest municipality in Spain according to the INE, but has also increased the seismic vulnerability." On this last point, Aledo has raised the strict application of seismic-resistant construction measures and the recovery of the model developed after the earthquake of 1829 by engineer José Larramendi. The work entitled "The unquestionable risk: social vulnerability and seismic risk in tourist towns", published in Journal of Tourism, plans a new strategy of

prevention actions, and mitigate risks aimed at identifying vulnerable groups and design prevention and mitigation for these specific groups.

Thus, one of its fundamental premises is better information and training on behaviour, or what everyone should do, how they should react, if they have special jobs to attend to in case of an emergency, in case of earthquakes in the general population, including foreign residents and tourists. "Certainly a key to this new approach to seismic risk in tourist towns is the factor that necessarily passes to the current and future management of the city, on the preventive approach through the media; and the implementation of plans and programs this risk preparedness and security for citizens confidence is built, "he added. This work is partly based on a masterwork order that the company Samia Sulaiman made within the Master Planning and Natural Risk Management headed by Antonio Aledo.

Torrevieja is the only town in the entire region that has ever had an emergency earthquake drill. This

happened on Tuesday 5th March, 2013. During the drill, three schools were evacuated, water and electricity cut, simulated fires and accidents set up, roads closed plus entire emergency stations and tented villages will appear. The seismic emergency drill involved about 500 personnel from the Ministry of Interior and Justice and the Emergency Coordination Centre of Valencia, Local Police, Protection Civil, Security Forcesm the State Health Department, Provincial Fire Consortium from Alicante and Valencia, Red Cross, Fire Fighters, NGO Intervention and Emergency Aid plus the specialists from the Military Emergency Unit (UME).

This was also the first drill in Spain that also utilized local volunteers, to help identify and primarily access damage caused and services required. This is when the International community becomes the first line of attack to help the professional emergency services, engineers and architects, who must be mobilised to assess any situation. Almost 100 members of Neighbourhood Watch were at the forefront of activities. They were issued with special vests, vehicle passes and ID, had access to emergency communication systems and designated zones, which, should an earthquake of any magatude every stike Torrevieja, they will patrol, should an emergency occur. However, the drill was in March 2013 and many of those who took in the drill might not now know what their duties would be in 2015.

Torrevieja is located in a seismically active area of relative importance and, in the past, some areas were affected; such as the earthquake in Torrevieja on March 21th, 1829 which effectively flattened the fishing village of Torrevieja, with the layout of narrow streets at mainly right angles to each other, being a rebuilding program specifically because of being in an earthquake zone. It’s also one of the reasons that the majority fo the city centre has building that are no higher than six floors.

Red Cross appeals for English speaking volunteers during Consul visit BRITISH CONSUL Sarah-Jane Morris recently visited the Red Cross centre in Alicante to talk about how to make British nationals more aware of the services that they offer and how to encourage more Britons to volunteer to help.

The national vice president of the Red Cross, Francisco Javier Gimeno, and provincial coordinator, Miguel Angel Rodriguez, met the Consul and highlighted some of the services they offer vulnerable British nationals, such as advice and support with accessing social services, help for sufferers of Alzheimer’s and dementia, and practical help for those suffering financial difficulties.

Sarah-Jane Morris said: “There is a lot of support available from the Red Cross that British nationals may be unaware of. We want to work closely with the Red Cross and build links with local English speaking associations in the area so that more British nationals can access this support. We also hope that Britons consider volunteering to work with the Red Cross so they can help their fellow nationals access the support that they may need.” Anyone interested in volunteering can find more information on the Red Cross website: www.cruzroja.es.

Consul Sarah­Jane Morris, Vice Consul Lloyd Milen with HELP Marina Alta volunteers at the La Xara HELP centre

Back in June the British Consul visited Costa Blanca North and noted that local expat charities are working hard to support both British and Spanish nationals, as British Consul Sarah-Jane Morris saw in a day-long visit to the north of Alicante province. Mrs Morris spent a morning in the HELP centres in La Xara, and was impressed to see the work that the charity is doing to deliver respite and residential care for those in need.

In addition to the work that they do to help British citizens, HELP Marina Alta and other charities also fundraise for their local communities so that all

She added: “As always, all the local charities are crying out for volunteers, so I would really encourage anyone who has some spare time to get involved. It can be incredibly rewarding work to help others.” The Consul spent the rest of the day in the north of Alicante carrying out two focus groups, in Javea and Moraira.

21-year old dies It’s Hot, Hot, Hotter Orihuela get in car crash their salaries A TRAGIC accident occurred on Saturday afternoon outside of Pilar de la Horadada when a local 21-year old lost control of his car. The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon in the vicinity of the roundabout at Lo Romero, on the CV-925, which links the town of Pilar de la Horadada with urbanization Pinar de Campoverde. The vehicle was completely destroyed due to the force of the impact and passed through a nearby fence The accident occurred at about 8.20pm in the evening when the driver lost control of his BMW in the vicinity of the roundhouse that gives access to urbanization Lo Romero in an area with a hump. The car rolled several and was destroyed several meters from the road. The ferocity of the impact threw the driver over 20 meters from the scene of the crash.

Medical assistance was quickly on site and thought they could revive the young driver, a resident of Pilar de la Horadada. He was taken to University Hospital of Torrevieja where he eventually died from his injuries shortly before 11.00pm.

One lane of the CV-925 road, used to connect the southern coastal area of the Vega Baja with Orihuela, was closed for more than an hour to remove the vehicle, which went though a barrier located next to the road, due to the strength of impact. The incident has caused consternation among the residents of Pilar de la Horadada as the grieving are a well-known family in town, linked to the main agricultural cooperative in the municipality.

THE INTENSE heat that the region has been experiencing since almost the end of June does not intend to take a break during the last days of July. Although temperatures have not been particularly high, combining with moisture in the air, the relative temperature has hovered around 45 degrees.

In addition to the hot days, it is noteworthy that temperatures are not dropping significantly at night. On Sunday, the temperature did not drop below 27°C all day long in Torrevieja, a fact that has not happened since 2008. In Almoradi and Orihuela and the temperature never dropped below 25°C and the Alicante-Elche Airport has recorded the warmest night since 1967 when they started collecting data.

The week will begin with a notable rise in temperatures in our area up into the high 30’s and hanging around the 30°C to 40°C in inland areas. For this reason, the Meteorological Agency activated the orange alert on the coast south of Alicante with the anticipation that the temperature will reach 40°C, especially in remote areas of the coast. Today Tuesday, temperatures will drop but will remain very high all week, particularly on Thursday and continuing through the weekend.

Given the high temperatures experienced and expected, it’s recommended that you continually keep hydrated, avoid exercise and outdoor activities in the hours around 11.00 to 4.00pm and pay special attention to children, elderly and sick people, plus your pets, because they are the most vulnerable groups for heat stroke.

AT THE first plenary session after the signing of the pact between PP and Ciudadanos, the PP majority still did not have enough votes needed to approve the proposed salary for councillors. The Ciudadanos abstention left the 11 votes of the PP short of enough votes for local government, which is made up of 25 councillors. The vote was a tie at 11 each between the PP and opposition parties thereby forcing a second vote, which came back with the same result. However this allowed the PP to approve their salaries with the casting vote of the mayor, which prevails in the event of a tie.

The extraordinary session had the approval of salaries as a single point of the day. This was delayed for just over an hour and a half, due to an intense debate in which PSOE's harshly criticized that Mayor Bascuñana’s fixed salary is 16.1% higher than that claimed by Monserrate Guillen (The Greens), in the last term. The new salary of the Mayor is 56,000 euros annually compared to 48,000 of its predecessor.

The salary of deputy mayor, will rise from 43,000€ gross per year to 47,500€ (up 10%); the members of the council of the governing body; 44,000€ (another 10% more) and the remaining councillors, will receive a 5% rise to 42,000€ compared with 40,000 in the previous legislature.

The accident happened in the minitúnel at the Grand Boulevard in the neighbourhood of the Madeleine. Although signage clearly indicates a height limit of 2.60 meters there is evidence that this has been knocked down several times and other accidents have occurred here. Last month there was a similar accident with a van.

New walkway to access the beach in San Roque USERS OF the beach of San Roque now have a new walkway that allows them to access the area much more easily.

Last Wednesday, Councillor for Beaches, Javier Manzanares looked over the area accompanied by a representative of the company "Recreational Aqua Horadada" who performed the work on the project.

Manzanares noted that this beach has been chosen for the installation due to complaints from many residents and vacationers who could not access the water with ease It's an area with no sand and just rock.

According to Councilman, the platform was installed without any cost to the municipal coffers.

The head of the company, which is managing the beaches of Torrevieja services like kiosks and attractions, said that the installation is just an improvement of this contract. It was installed as part of their own initiative without any dealings with the Town Hall, except for permission to do so.

The walkway has support rails and is ready for amphibious chairs of around one meter wide, plus is slip resistant. This improvement is a "new" project, according to the Councillor and is intended to do more work like this along the rocky areas. According to the Councillor of Beaches, the platform has been well received among local residents, as it was necessary addition for access to the beaches, especially for older people and children. He also said that the General Director of Costas had given its approval to this walkway which is located on maritime land in the public domain.

The two drivers passed the breathalyser test with negative result.

According to reports on Spanish TV, the driver who was driving at the time of the accident said during his interrogation by the Office of Lille, he trusted in the directions given by the GPS system of the vehicle without sufficient attention to the route. The four injured have been transferred to a university hospital in Lille.

The hospital treated 27 people for injures

suffered when the roof of the buss was ripped off.

It seems that the driver of the vehicle was lost and was forced to enter the centre of town and use an alternative way to return to get back on route. The crash scene was quickly attended by thirty firefighters and 19 local emergency services personnel to treat the wounded.

The 29 students who are able to travel, and are now gathered in a sports centre in La Madeleine, and have now returned to Spain.

One in two apartments in Valencia is illegal THE VALENCIAN Agency of Tourism or Agencia Valenciana de Turismo (AVT) estimates that in Valencia there are around 38,000 holiday apartments that are not registered correctly for such an activity. This is a number that has increased in recent years despite the efforts of the administration.

It’s estimated that there are 185,000 illegal tourist apartments throughout Valencia. They are in the province of Alicante; 106,000, in Castello; 47,600 and 32,000 in Valencia. That is the estimate that the AVT are working on as they start a new inspection campaign that will continue until mid-September in order to tackle the growing supply of this type of accommodation. These calculations assume that for each registered property under the tourism regulations, that there is another that is not. The number could even rise further due to the increase of different companies, especially on the internet, who promote holiday properties, with money changing hands via bank transfers and not in Spain, with locals only involved in key handling, airport transfers, cleaning and laundry.

Against this background and after previous experiences in this area the agency have reported increased requests for regularization. The AVT has launched, through the Tax Agency and the Agency for Safety and Emergency Response, a campaign that includes awareness against illegal renting and unfair competition as well as the visit of inspectors accompanied by the regional police in

"emblematic coastal towns," according to the president of the AVT, Francesc Colomer. Peñíscola, Oropesa, Benicassim, Oliva, Gandia, Benidorm, Denia, Calpe, Torrevieja and the Orihuela Costa are among the cities and areas that will be monitored.

The points on which a special supervision shall be based on the information gathered on Internet portals specialized in this business as well as those from the territorial services of tourism, industry associations and users' complaints, according to Colomer. In addition to uncovering the hidden economy generated with the apartments, it is estimated that between 800 and 1,000 million euros is spent in Spain on holiday rentals and the objectives of the campaign is to "ensure the quality of our tourist facilities, as well as the professionalizing of the services provided", insists the president of the Valencian agency.

"We will punish offenders,” he added, although the primary objective of this initiative is primarily educational, so that meetings with the leaders of digital platforms that have flourished in recent times by offering

apartments have the opportunity to ensure that everything they offer is legal.

Colomer noted that they have the power to: "penalize the irregularities, with fines that can range from 600€ to 90,000€ and that they will inform the Tax Agency, leading to added income to the Treasury." This campaign applies to Tourism Law 3/1998 of Valencia, which includes the serious violation of offering a tourist activity without having announced their start-up or without due authorization to do so legally. It also provides regulatory Decree 92/2009 on tourist homes and Decree 206/1999 of the Valencian Government, according to information from the AVT. Francesc Colomer emphasized that "the Government will always stand behind the legal sector, hoteliers and other legal accommodation facilities, who pay taxes, generate collective wealth, employment and prestige." He also said that "our commitment is to ensure the quality of the offer of the tourist product of Valencia, simultaneously sheltering tourism resources and the interests of the business sector and the rights of tourists visiting us. The unfair competition and encroachment are a phenomena that we must fight together through our various administrations and we intend to do so," asserted Colomer, who said that for this campaign is also in collaboration with the Territorial College of Property Administrators of Valencia, as is required.

Dolon’s new guns THE MAYOR of Torrevieja, Jose Manuel Dolon, is still trying to bring to order the issues that affect the activity of the local police. The City’s first Green mayor last week announced the creation of a working group to bring order to the conflict with security officials and settle some of the outstanding issues on the internal organization of the police. The Major has ordered departments to meet with representatives of the various police unions to try and find a solution to the problems.

The Mayor has decreed to proceed with the acquisition of forty new guns to replace old revolvers for those who have been asking for an upgrade for some time. The mayor stressed that "the old regulatory revolvers are now obsolete weapons and have serious limitations for police use. Consequently, this leads to a limitation for action from Policia Local agents and therefore the safety of citizens. " The mayor said the measure is also to end discrimination between agents. One of the main differences that the new weapon has over the revolver is its capacity, which will allow the police to fire more warning shots as an act of intimidation, if necessary, without being constrained by the six revolver bullets. The new guns also have a security feature added. The new revolver is designed to prevent the weapon being used by just anyone as those handling the gun need to have at least some basic knowledge, without which you can not shoot or turn the weapon upon police officers.

José Manuel Dolon said that this measure "is intended to regularize the situation of all those agents that for one reason or another have not renewed their weapons, which for many of them might be perceived as a clear discrimination against the rest of their colleagues, who have a more modern and better performing gun.”

Eight Sahrawi children enjoy the summer in Torrevieja thanks to the program "Holidays in peace" THE PROGRAM of the Asociación Compromiso Sahara “Vacaciones en paz” or "Holidays in peace", brought to Torrevieja eight Saharawi children, who will stay in Torrevieja for over two months with host families in the town. The Mayor, José Manuel Dolon, and the spokesman of the government team, Fanny Serrano, received them at City Hall before inviting them to a picnic in Parque de Bolas.

The children and their families visited the City Hall where the mayor said that "we have a historic debt to the Saharawi people. The best way to settle it would be for you to be a free and democratic Arab republic, but because currently this is not the in their program, this is our small way to help them live in peace."

Dolon considered that the fact that they can live in Torrevieja for the summer is "much more than a gift, given the harsh conditions in which they live.

This journey is a contrast to their everyday lives, and gives them access to medical examinations, to a less rigorous climate, to enjoy the beach, and for them to have a great time, and establish a new relationship that enriches them. " The reception was also attended by Saad El Mami the Delegado del Polisario for the Comunidad Valenciana, who thanked everyone for the reception from the highest municipal authority whom he described as "a champion of the Saharawi cause." He also said that "today more than ever we feel at home; at a reception means much: affection, closeness and respect they have

for us."

Saad El Mami said that the program, "Holidays in Peace" was a "flagship program" with two important aspects: humanitarian and the other historical-political. Regarding the first point he stressed the value of taking children out of the Sahara for two months and to have the opportunity to meet new people and to discover and find out about a range of modern things that they do note have access to, such as hot water, the beach, the park, etc. Regarding the historical question, he noted; the children are "the best representatives of the Saharawi cause, as through them this involves a significant number of families, and to twin our children with families with their own children and end up being the true stars of the program, because without them, without the families in Torrevieja opening their doors to our children, none of this would be possible.”

Xpert Camps closes for 2015

A TOTAL of 316 boys and girls from all over Spain, along with a dozen or more International students, participated in this year’s almost month long, Xpert Camps. From the moment it kicked off on July 2nd through to closing day on July 20th, those attending and their families enjoyed fully the delights that Torrevieja and the surrounding area had to offer them.

This year’s activities were divided into three activities. The first one and the most popular was the already established Campus of Champions. The Football (Camps Xpert Fútbol) is remembered by many as Iker Cassillas put his name to the program back in 2012, but due to the slight distraction of Spain winning the Europa Cup, did not attend in person. This took place from 2nd to 11th July at Torrevieja’s Sports City.

The activities were developed alongside the Xpert Multisport Camps. An activity that brought to Torrevieja mainly boys and girls between 12 and 16 from Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla y León participating in the program ‘Movilidad Red Activa’.

These camps are organised through the Institute of Youth in the JCYL (similar to Torrevieja’s CIAJ) and Xpert Events is the company responsible for carrying

out the program.

The final 10 days, from 11th to 20th July, saw the first Xpert Nautical Camps being organised thanks to the collaboration of Real Club Nautico of Torrevieja.

For more than three hours almost every day, the 80 participants practiced sailing, kayaking, rowing, paddle surfing while enjoying a lot of other diversions such as visiting the centre of Torrevieja, the museums, the Delfin S61 Submarine, Habaneras centre, Zenia Blvd., and of course lots of opportunities to make new friends, spend time with their families and enjoy the beach. On this occasion were children were between 15 and 17. Other more serious aspects included a look at marine conservation, Torrevieja and La Mata’s Natural Parks and learning about life saving techniques from the Red Cross Lifeguards.

The focus of the camps, along with building up knowledge of sports and techniques, is in trying to promote human development and coexistence through sports. This is the eighth year that Torrevieja’s Sports City has been home to Xpert Camps, who have also brought Under 17 football to the city, involving many of La Liga’s Academy teams, which is an activity they hope to repeat, depending on the collaboration

and budget allowances of the new municipal government. The Under 17 tournament brought with them national TV Coverage with cameras capturing the action of many of the top games to be shown on National Spanish TV, along with news bulletins, all helping to promote sports tourism from Torrevieja.

Those travelling to Torrevieja stayed at Hotel Cabo Cervera, where various other activates were also coordinated. Participants from the Nautical Camp received a diploma certifying their attendance at the Xpert Camps aboard the Delfin Verde, during a short cruise along Torrevieja’s Coast. And this week, begins the countdown to the 2016 edition.

Next year the Xpert Camps organisers are looking at the possibility of adding such attractions of SCUBA diving, were students can qualify as a PADI Open Water Diver and enjoy the delights that the Mediterranean Coast has to offer. Other possible additional camps for 2016 include a mix of Golf, Padel, Tennis and also Music. The classes and activities were all taught in both Spanish and English adding an additional educational aspect to the Camps. For more information about Xpert Camps, please visit their Facebook page or website: www.xpert-events.com.

61st International Habaneras closes THE 61st edition of the International Contest of Habanera and Polyphony of Torrevieja closed with an emotional evening in which local choirs performed three ‘Havana’ songs each. An audience of more than 2,000 people enjoyed the sea air and the magnificent setting of Eras de la Sal where performances have been taking place all week long.

On Saturday four local choirs have performed on what is always the most popular evening of Competition. The interpretation of hymns at the end of the night and the closing of the contest was again undertaken jointly by local choirs and the Unión Musical Torrevejense, the UMT. Performing on Saturday and into the early hours of Sunday morning were, Coral Torrevejense “Francisco Vallejos”, Agrupación Coral “Manuel Barberá”, Masa Coral “José Hódar” and the Coro “Maestro Casanovas”. The stars of the evening brought together numerous lovers of Havana music.

On stage first was the "Francisco Vallejos" choir, the oldest in Torrevieja who have been together since 1954.

Under the leadership of Anibal Cano Pettersen they sang "West Indian Melodies", "was a Flower" and" The Old Port", composed by Thomas Garbizu. They were followed by the Coral Group "Manuel Barberá", led by Sergey Larkinn who interpreted such Habanera classics as “El ruiseñor y la flor” written by Torrevieja’s Ricardo Lafuente Aguado, “La Paloma” and “Rosita de un verde palmar”.

After the break, first on stage was Mass Choir "José Hódar" under the direction of the young Miguel Guerrero Serrano who interpreted very old "The Call"plus "The slave of Massvernatt” and popular “Farewell”. The last performance of the evening was the Choir "Maestro Casanovas" formed just five years ago in 2010 and directed by Sabina Martínez Boj. The young band performed "Caribbean Soul", "Although I did not see you coming," and the popular habanera "One morning".

After the performances of various choirs, the Mayor of Torrevieja, Jose Manuel Dolon, said a few words to close the 61st and to thank the participating choirs from around the world, with special emphasis on the corals of Torrevieja. Thanks were also extended to Councillor for Habaneras, Domingo Soler, the presenter Carolina Casado, the jury, the media, and all the members of Municipal Board of the International Habaneras and Polyphony of Torrevieja.

The culmination of the evening was the revealing of the Poster of the 62nd edition of the event, followed by all the choirs and the UMT singing songs of the city, including the hymn ‘Torrevieja’, which has not happened

for years. This was followed by the anthem of the Community of Valencia and finally, the anthem of Spain.

Prize for the best choir of the contest went to The "Coro Cor Alterum" of Valladolid, who won the first prize of Habaneras "Juan Aparicio", worth 12,000€. In the Section of polyphony, wining the First Prize of 10,000€ to the "Philippines Manila University Chorale" after two spectacular performances. The second prize of Habaneras, worth 5,000€, went to "Kromatica Vocal Group" from Guadalajarad, worth 2,000 euros. The Polyphony Second Prize, worth 4,000€ went to another Filipino group, "Imusi Capella" with the Habaneras Third Prize (2,500€) and Polyphony (2,000€) going to "Sopot Chamber Choir Continuo" from Poland and to the "Beijing Agriculture University Youth Choir" respectively.

National "Ciudad de Torrevieja" Award, given to the national choir, which has achieved the highest score in the overall calculation of their performances in Havana and polyphony, and worth 5,000€ was awarded to "Gaudeamus Korala" Vizcaya, training equal voices composed of members of various ages. The choir succeeded in its action convey feeling in Havana and overwhelm the public in the polyphony.

For those who wonder what all the fuss is about, the idea of the Torrevieja Habaneras Contest began in the summer of 1954, although its first edition was a year later. It was on the 7th of August of 1955 when the first notes of a habaneras song began the inaugural contest on the now inexistent stage of the Vista Alegre Avenue.

The first contest ended a week later on the 14th and so began the second edition of the event that has carried on until today.

Long gone are the days when those enterprising Torrevieja locals of the Fifties imagined a Contest that

initially was to take advantage of and spreading the musical image of the city, whilst at the same time serving as an attraction to the growing tourist industry that was beginning to take over the Spanish Mediterranean Coast.

Today, the International Habaneras and Polyphony Contest of Torrevieja has become a reference in the world of Choir Music, with two quite specific aspects; on the one hand, the national participation and in recent years the international participation, which began in the Nineties and its importance was recognised by the Ministry of Commerce and Tourism. The Ministry also declared the Contest in its 40th edition as of “International Tourist Interest”, which at the same time was a great promotion for the Contest in particular and Torrevieja in general. The Habaneras Contest added another category in 1994 with the Junior Habaneras Contest that is nowadays, as its bigger brother, reached the status of International Interest.

It is important to mention that along the history of the Contest more than 90% of the Choir Groups, especially the national ones, were not professional. This is not the case of the directors who have been and are acclaimed professional in the music world. On the other hand, professionalism has been the dominant aspect of the International Choirs, with distinguished examples in the groups from countries such as the United States, Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, Germany… Another curious but important fact is that choir groups from the five continents have participated in the International Habaneras and Polyphony Contest who at the same time has received the full and unconditional backing of the Government of Valencia.

Habanera National choir groups have also been represented by virtually every province of Spain. Some of the more memorable performances were given by choir groups that came from Asturias, Guipuzcoa, Valladolid, Navarra, Barcelona, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Murcia, Madrid, Badajoz, Valencia, as well as the Province of Alicante. Local Torrevieja Choirs have always participated outside the contest and as all the rest of the choirs they have invariably received the warmth from the crowds that every night completely fills the old enclosure of the Eras de la Sal. One of the latest innovations made by the Commission that regulates the Contest has been the creation of a Municipal Choir School, with the aim of educating youngsters the love for music in general and choir music in particular. These will be without a doubt the future of the Contest.

Watch your stuff while on Vacation TAKING A vacation to the beach? Figures have just been released of Spain’s tourist areas where more robberies of personal theft, vehicle theft, robberies at home and damage take place.

Madrid along with nine major cities along the country's coast are among the places with more crimes committed between 2013 and 2014, according to an analysis of the balance of crime presented by the Ministry of Interior that includes details of all the municipalities with more than 50,000 thousand inhabitants. Coastal areas in the south, some municipalities in the Balearic and Canary Islands, El Prat de Llobregat and Barcelona are the places where most thefts, burglaries, car theft and robberies in homes occur with respect to its population.

Theft of objects, especially pick pocketing of less than 400€, is the crime that's being committed most at the national level: between 2013 and 2014 when there were seven complaints of theft every minute, according to the tally of complaints from the Ministry of Interior. Below 400€ it’s almost a misdemeanour and professional

pickpockets are back on the street within minutes, if they are even arrested in some cases. Benidorm is worst affected, with 1,423 crimes of this type per 10,000 inhabitants in 2014, well above the national average of 388 per 10,000 people. According to figures from the city of Benidorm, the site received 5,000,000 tourists every year and several media outlets have reported problems by the constant theft of victims especially in the "English zone".

A survey of 4,995 people by the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) says that 42% have suffered a crime on their property or on their person. Over 50% of respondents in Palma de Mallorca, Alicante, Seville, Madrid and Barcelona said they were victims of a crime. Other offences include stealing of motor car or bike which is also concentrated in areas close to the sea. In Ibiza in 2014 they stole 85 cars for every 10,000 inhabitants. Mijas in Málaga is also above average with 148 thefts per 10,000 inhabitants. Both beachside municipalities are located on the national average that year, with 23 vehicle thefts per 10,000 inhabitants.

The municipalities where more robberies in homes occurred in the previous two years are also coastal areas of Torrevieja and Chiclana de la Frontera in Andalusia. On average, 40 of every 1,000 people have been robbed in these two places. Thankfully Neighbour Watch programs have helped keep down the crime rate in mainly British Urbanizations, with the majority of offences taking place in Spanish properties.

The same applies to drug trafficking, which is concentrated in coastal areas.

Algeciras, in the Strait of Gibraltar, is where most such crimes are committed (258 per 10,000 people). Spain is recognised by the

European Drug Report as one of the main entrances of drugs to Europe, especially cannabis from Morocco.

Moreover, it is the European country where more cocaine was seized in 2015 than any other European Country. The main points of entry of this drug are ports along the eastern Mediterranean, according to the report. The national average for drug trafficking offences is 7 per 10,000 inhabitants.

The spokesman of the National Police, Maria Fernandez, urged people travelling to coastal areas during the summer, to not travel with valuable belongings and to pay particular attention when in open spaces or crowds, when robberies often occur. In addition, the Ministry of Interior launched the campaign "My home safely" recommending owners not to advertise the fact they are going on holiday on social networks. While on holiday, everyone should make sure they close doors and windows securely and give the appearance that the house is inhabited to prevent burglary. The burglary in homes was the fourth most committed crime during 2014, affecting 66 in every 10,000 inhabitants.

Military modelling and the real thing LAST WEEK, the President and Vice President of the Association of Military Models of Torrevieja (Asociación de Modelismo Militar de Torrevieja) Rafael Garcia Rodriguez and Rafael Aracil Sala were invited to a reception at the Base Aérea de Alcantarilla to meet with Jesús González Hernández Lieutenant Colonel and Chief EZAPAC (Squadron parachutists sappers of the Air Force) and Chief Petty Officer Fco. Javier Lopez Rodriguez.

During the meeting the officers

were presented with two separate diplomas of appreciation for the selfless collaboration given the special operations unit, for allowing the Association to exhibit many items used by the unit in its various missions around the world. Most recently, their collaboration could be seen at the Third Conference of Spanish Military Models 2015 City of Torrevieja, held last April through May 1st, that has opened doors to cultural exchange by both parties for the present and future

Jesús González Hernández Lieutenant Colonel presented the visitors, on behalf of EZAPAC, a banner backpack commemorative of the 50th Anniversary of the current department of EZAPAC. Finally, the Association wants to thank all the members of this special forces group for the treatment, kindness and affection they have received over many months of working with such a prestigious Air Force unit, and all its components, as ratified by last week’s act.

Cool air for La Plaza WITH HEAT wave that is being experienced in Torrevieja, it has been difficult for both workers and customers to stand the heat inside the central market, La Plaza.

Thus the Local Government Board has approved the procedures required to hire or purchase air conditioners for the municipal food market, "La Plasa", an installation as stated by the mayor, José Manuel Dolon, is "an urgent need in a municipal area that requires work in perfect condition."

The rationale behind the need for this contract is based is the age of the equipment currently on "La Plasa" and dating from the date of the launch of the market, in 1995.

Since then the units

"have given many maintenance problems that are not covered by the current contract and the units have been continually patched up." José Manuel Dolon added that "the fact that has not been resolved before this situation has led, to frequent power cuts, with the serious consequences that this entails for the conservation of the products sold in the market as well as the serious inconvenience and disadvantages for users and visitors.”

With the commissioning of this facility the mayor believes; "it’s going to meet the government's obligation regarding the quality of municipal facilities, and to improve the conditions for the working merchants and also the health and hygiene conditions

in the market. For customers will also be a relief to be able to shop at the market without being sweltering "he said. The agreement to acquire new air conditioning, heating and cooling, is for an amount of 33,456 euros and within a maximum of two months this shall be awarded and will be installed in the shortest space of time possible."

Exotic sports cars in Torrevieja

I LOVE it when a plan comes together smoothly. It’s even better when nobody tells one about it. Such was the case on Sunday when 50 exotic sports cars arrived in Torrevieja for the day and caught everyone by surprise.

The cars turned many heads and delighted those passing by however details of their arrival was also a well kept secret, but maybe they preferred it that way.

The drivers parked up along Avenue Paris in the morning followed by a cruise around the city followed by lunch. From six o'clock in the afternoon they visited the floating museums, ending in Marina Salinas.

Next Sunday, August 2nd, some of thee cars plus many others will be on display from 11.00 until about 1.00pm at Hotel le Torre in Los Montesinos, for Ace Café.

Backstage Interview with Tim Taylor Who are you and what do you do?

I am Tim Taylor and I play guitar and sing as a solo act. I also play keyboards with Nilo and his band as well as play keyboards and guitar in the Time Team Band. I just love playing music.

How did you start in the business?

When I was 5 my dad recognised that TV was a time waster (even before Big Brother and X Factor) and swapped our TV for a piano, and I used to copy what my eldest brother played as he was learning piano at school which taught me to play by ear.

When I was in my teens my other brother was learning guitar from a friend of his which got me interested as well and I started strumming a few chords and singing. When a work colleague told me he used to play in a band we decided to have musical get together and eventually formed a band and ended up playing together for 18 years in which I played keyboards and guitar. I later had formal lessons in classical guitar and music theory and

gained some qualifications.

As an entertainer who has been your biggest influence?

Eric Clapton and Mark Knofler.

What would you be doing if you were not an entertainer?

Probably travelling a lot more as I love to explore the world, but not as much as performing.

Do you ever get nervous or have you suffered stage fright?

I sometimes feel a little nervous on the way to a gig at a new venue, probably due to the unknown factors like finding the place and somewhere to park and whether there will be a good audience. Once I am there and setting up I usually just cannot wait to get up there and perform.

What was your best moment?

Playing an outside gig to a large appreciative audience in a lovely setting (in Spain of course) What has been your worst moment?

Turning up at a gig in pouring rain and finding we had

What’s the best piece of advice you have received or would give someone starting out in the business?

Better to perform something you are comfortable with, than trying something more technically difficult and struggling with it.

Any little anecdotes or interesting stories? (perhaps not wise to name names) While making a recording of a song we had played for a number of years, one of the members of the band who was singing harmonies, was found out to be singing completely incorrect and ridiculous words which was not apparent when we all sung together. We ended up laughing so much we had to drop the song, as we were afraid we would burst out laughing on stage and be unable to carry on.

Dance? Did you say Dance?

ANTHONY QUINN, Zorba the Greek 1964. Ring any bells? Film star Anthony Quinn, who played the lead role in the 1964 film Zorba the Greek, was among the many celebrities who have frequented the Trypas Taverna in Corfu, one of the most traditional tavernas in Greece.

Guests on Saga Pearl II’s Grecian Odyssey cruise can now enjoy an evening at the Trypas Taverna during their autumn sailing - just one of many tours created by Saga’s shore excursions team to offer passengers every chance to immerse themselves in the Greek culture, explore ancient sites and make the most of the sunshine. Saga Pearl II’s first Greek island port of call will be Argostoli, in Kefalonia, with tours including the Rombola winery, which uses local varieties of white grape to produce its wine, and the beach resort of Sami, the film setting for Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.

In Corfu, in addition to an evening at Trypas Taverna, there will be a culinary walk through the Old Town for tastings of local produce such as olive-wood smoked ham and spicy ’bourdetto’ - a casserole dish of fish and

sweet paprika. This will be rounded off with Mr Thymis’s freshly-made ginger beer flavoured ice cream and the Afthonia store’s citrus ‘koum quat’ liqueur.

The cruise will continue to the seaside town of Igoumenitsa with three new tours. Passengers can visit Ancient Dodoni, which was, according to philosopher Aristotle, the birthplace of Greek civilization; tour Metsovo, a traditional settlement built at an altitude of 5,000ft on the Pindos mountain chain or take a boat from Lake Pamvotida to the island of Frosini, where the house of Ali Pasha is located. The next port, Itea, is on the Gulf of the Corinth and the gateway to Delphi on the slopes of Mount Parnassus. Here passengers will understand why Delphi was once believed to be the centre of the ancient world where Greek rulers and pilgrims came to consult the Oracle from the 6 BC to 4 AD. Saga Pearl II will sail on to two more beautiful islands - Pylos, on the edge of the Ionian Sea where guests will find a natural harbour that is off the regular tourist trail, and Gytheion, best known as the port for ancient Sparta, reputedly founded by Heracles and Apollo. The last Greek port of call will be Katakolon, on the Peloponnese Peninsula, a former fishing village which became a port in 1857 to handle the export of Corinth's world-famous grapes and currants.

Further ports of call on Saga Pearl II’s itinerary include Lisbon, Portugal; Cartagena, Spain; Cagliari, Sardinia,

Mastering the Art of Husbanding LADIES: EVER wish your husband had a Clue? At last; a Handbook for Husbands.

"Mastering the Art of Husbanding" by Shirley M. Wickland.

The author contends that ‘anyone’ can be an awesome husband. Learn how to be the the husband every woman brags about; every woman wants; who is happily married for a lifetime.

Each of the 12 chapters focuses on a specific art that husbands can develop to endear themselves to their wives. The "why" and "how" of each art is discussed clearly and simply. The points are further driven home by many real life examples

and stories, some cute, some touching, some sad and some hilarious. By the author's own admission, some of these points are things that you might think you shouldn't have to tell husbands, but as evidenced by the true stories, clearly some men DO need to be told, and that is okay! (Included in the back is even a checklist for information all husbands should know about their wives!) This book is a great resource for any couple, or husband - any age, engaged, newly married or married for many years.

Ms. Wickland is a wife, mother and grandmother. Her book is dedicated to her father and her husband, "the two most important men in my life, who have shown me what 'mastering the art of husbanding' looks like." ‘Mastering the Art of Husbanding’ is available at amazon.com. Visit the author's blog at www.smwickland.com.

New App Provides Easy, Efficient Way to Lose Weight Without Dieting

AVAILABLE JUST last week, ‘Train Thin’ offers a new way to lose weight from the comfort of your chair.

Based on computerized response inhibition training research done by psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists at Cardiff and Exeter Universities in England, the app trains people to inhibit motor response in the presence of junk food.

Results show that computerized response inhibition training can significantly reduce addictive behavior such as over-eating. Studies suggest that this training can reduce food consumption by up to 40%. The trainee must respond correctly to a series of images of food and other objects. When an image of junk food appears, the trainee must inhibit their response.

Scientists have previously shown that self-control interacts with the brain’s reward responses to foods to determine eating behaviours, This app is based on this premise - that the learning done on the computer, which trains us to refrain from reacting to

unhealthy food - carries over into real life situations in which there is actual food in front of us. Several laboratory studies suggest that this type of training can reduce food consumption by up to 40% The most recent study by Lawrence in 2014 showed that when 84 predominantly middle-aged and overweight adults from the local community completed four short (10minute) sessions of online response inhibition training at home or at work, they showed significant weight loss and reduced estimated daily calorie intake following food-related inhibition training.

The training was effective for 97% of the group - who all showed weight loss and expressed positive feedback about the technique. The app is web-based and can be run from any browser - there is nothing to download from the iOS App or Google Play Stores. The web app is optimized for use on all smartphones, tablets and computers and costs $5/month for unlimited training sessions.

Get A Kick Out Of Foot Golf At Orlando World Center Marriott JUST WHEN you thought that Walking Football was as slow as ‘soccer’ could get, in the good old USA, the sport of Foot Golf is taking off in a big way, although it’s yet to see the light of day in Spain.

Orlando World Center Marriott now offers guests of all ages and skill levels the opportunity to play the exciting new sport of foot golf on the resort's awardwinning Hawk's Landing Course. Orlando World Center Marriott, home of the award-winning Hawk's Landing Golf Club, announces the addition of Foot Golf — one of the fastest growing recreational activities in the United States — at the Orlando resort's championship golf course.

Recently named an official U.S. sport, Foot Golf pulls together elements from soccer and golf to create an entertaining game for guests of all ages and skill levels to enjoy.

"We're excited to further enhance the offerings at Orlando World Center Marriott, and Foot Golf is a great

way for locals and guests to experience our golf course in a fun and approachable way," said Michael Hodgins, Director of Golf at Hawk's Landing Golf Club. "This activity is family-friendly, perfect for group team building events and is entertaining for players of all levels."

While played with a soccer ball, the scoring rules are the same as traditional golf. During a round of Foot Golf, team members attempt to kick the soccer ball from tee to green and into a 21-inch hole, all while making sure to avoid water hazards and sand bunkers. Groups have the option to play a round of six or 18 holes. The Orlando resort provides the soccer balls and golf cart for a round on the course.

The Foot Golf program will be available for individual players at Hawk's Landing Golf Club every Tuesday and Saturday after 4:30 p.m. at a cost of $25 for adults and $12.50 for each accompanying child 17 and under.

For information on group pricing for Orlando foot golf events with 24 to 144 players, contact the Orlando resort at 1407-238-8961 or derek.sundberg@marriott.com.

Eighteen-hole Foot Golf events take approximately two-and-a-half to three hours to complete and are a perfect way to add some fun to a conference or vacation.

Hawk's Landing Golf Club offers 18holes of championship golf. Re-designed

by Robert E. Cupp II on an original Joe Lee layout, the conveniently located 6,602yard course features water on 15 holes and closely mown fairways. Although the course is home to over 80 bunkers, it has generous landing areas to make it playable for golfers of all skill levels. From start to finish, players are surrounded by meticulously manicured, emerald green fairways, first-class amenities and a scenic blend of native wildlife and tropical vegetation.

SmartCardio Wants to Save Lives

by Monitoring Heart Health It’s an exciting new way to monitor your health and be warned about any potentially lifethreatening problems is being introduced to the world on Indiegogo. This device, known as 'SmartCardio', monitors a person's cardiovascular system and alerts the wearer, their cardiologist and all emergency contacts before a health crisis can occur.

SmartCardio has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo with a funding goal of $60,000 which needs to be raise in order to bring their innovative lifesaving SmartCardio device to market.

SmartCardio is a programmable wellness tracker that monitors a user's cardiovascular system, and has the potential to save a person's life by warning them about an impending heart attack or potential stroke. It is capable of capturing a full ECG, and keeps a historical record in order to immediately detect any anomaly. If a problem is found it will warn the user before it becomes a life-threatening emergency. SmartCardio not only includes a lot of innovative technology and enables a person to view an ECG analysis in real time, but it also allows round-the-clock monitoring by cardiologists.

When asked about the inspiration for this device the SmartCardio team states, "Because cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death (31% of all diseases or 17 million individuals yearly), SmartCardio's goal is to diagnose potential heart disease and save lives."

SmartCardio is completely wireless, portable and needs only 6 electrodes in order to capture a full ECG. The device keeps track of a user's health and sends the analysis to a remote server where all of the data is stored.

It also keeps the wearer connected to a team of board certified cardiologists who are capable of monitoring the user's current ECG in real time, as well as their past ECG results. In order to benefit from this device, all a person needs is the SmartCardio device and the set of 6 electrodes. They then download the free app to their smartphone, and set the emergency contact list to determine who will receive an alert should a health problem ever be detected. All emergency contacts can also download the app, which means they can help monitor the health and well-being of a loved one. Upon

initial use, the SmartCardio device will take a series of ECGs while the wearer is in a resting state. The results of these initial tests will be the basis for comparison to future ECGs, which will prevent a "normal" irregularity from being seen as an emergency.

The SmartCardio team has been very hard at work with all of the essential groundwork for their lifesaving device. They have a fully functioning prototype and initial testing shows amazing results. The team is now ready to bring SmartCardio to market which is why they have launched their Indiegogo campaign. After the campaign ends they plan to launch the final testing and manufacturing phases. As an added bonus, the team is offering several perks with their campaign.

These perks, which serve as funding incentives, range in value from a "Thank You" perk which enables a supporter to follow the campaign and receive all of the updates, to being added to the SmartCardio list as one of the device testers, or the opportunity to preorder a set of electrodes or the full SmartCardio device set at a substantial savings off of regular retail price. Full details can be found on their Indiegogo campaign page.

SmartCardio consist of a great team of talented individuals who each have extensive experience in their individual fields as well as in implementing large projects. Their newest invention is a programmable device that is designed to monitor a person's cardiovascular system, and provide all of the important data online.

Carnival to build and operate new Cruise Terminal

CARNIVAL CORPORATION, the world's largest travel and leisure company, announced on Thursday that they have signed an agreement with the Port Authority of Barcelona to invest more than 30 million euros to build and operate its second private cruise terminal at the Port of Barcelona, which is used by seven of the company's 10 cruise line brands as both a destination and home port. As part of the agreement, the Port Authority granted Carnival Corporation administrative concessions to operate the cruise terminal and all-new parking facility at Europe's largest port and the fourth busiest port in the world.

With the agreement, Carnival Corporation has been granted approval to begin the final design process and start construction of the new terminal in 2016. Scheduled to open as early as 2018 in the Port's Adossat wharf, the new terminal will be one of Europe's largest at 11,500 square meters. In addition, Carnival Corporation will collaborate with the Port to build and open the first public parking facility located on the cruise pier, providing guests embarking on cruises convenient access to over 300 parking spaces.

"As an all-new, next-generation cruise facility, the terminal will be designed to enhance the overall cruise experience for Carnival Corporation's guests," said Michel Nestour, managing director of Carnival Corporation terminal operations in Barcelona. "This will include making it easy and convenient for guests, whether they are arriving at the terminal to begin a cruise vacation, disembarking following the completion of a cruise or visiting Barcelona as one of the ports of call on a cruise. In all cases, our goal is to exceed guest expectations through every stage of the cruise experience, and this new terminal will be built to meet that goal."

"We are excited about our ongoing partnership with Carnival Corporation to enhance our facilities at the Port of Barcelona and continue our momentum as one of the top cruise destinations in the world," said Sixte Cambra, president of the Port Authority of Barcelona. "This new agreement ensures that we will continue to meet the growing popularity of cruising to and from Barcelona, accommodate the latest in cruise ship designs and most

importantly provide cruise passengers with the highest levels of quality and service."

Added Giora Israel, senior vice president of global port and destination development for Carnival Corporation: "In the past several years Barcelona has seen a consistent surge in growth as a very popular destination for our cruise guests. And as the largest port in Europe, it continues to be a great city and port for both our guests and our cruise line brands. We are excited to expand our operations at the Port of Barcelona with our second private terminal, as it enhances our ability to provide a great experience for our guests. Based on our very positive working relationship with our partners in Barcelona, we see a truly bright future for the cruising industry in Barcelona and look forward to continuing to work with the Port and the city of Barcelona to welcome our cruise guests to one of the most beautiful, vibrant and popular cities in Europe and the Mediterranean."

Across its six existing terminals in 2014, the Port of Barcelona had 764 cruise calls and over 2.36 million passenger movements. Overall, according to studies by the Barcelona's Tourist Office in 2013, cruise passengers had an economic impact of nearly 257 million euros in Barcelona based on spending on restaurants, transport and trade in the city. A large percentage of cruise passengers are experienced travelers who take vacations as couples, single-unit families, multigenerational and extended families and friends, and who enjoy exploring cities such as Barcelona on their

own or on organized shore excursions to visit museums, churches, restaurants, shops and more.

When Carnival Corporation's terminal is launched in 2018, it will represent a significant expansion of the company's presence in the Port of Barcelona. Carnival Corporation operates four additional global ports, including Puerta Maya in Cozumel, Mexico; Grand Turk Cruise Center in Turks and Caicos Islands; Mahogany Bay in Roatan, Honduras; and Long Beach in California. Carnival Corporation also operates two private island destinations in the Caribbean, Princess Cays and Half Moon Cay. Carnival Corporation will open Amber Cove in October 2015 in the Puerta Plata region of the Dominican Republic, which will be the company's sixth global port operation. The company is also expanding operations at its Puerta Maya port in Cozumel, adding a third pier to be able to receive three ships simultaneously starting with the upcoming winter cruising season. In total, Carnival Corporation cruise ships visit over 725 ports of call around the world.

Carnival Corporation & plc is the largest cruise company in the world, with a portfolio of 10 cruise brands in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia, comprised of Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Seabourn, AIDA Cruises, Costa Cruises, Cunard, P&O Cruises (Australia), P&O Cruises (UK) and fathom.

Together, these brands operate 100 ships in 2015 totaling 219,000 lower berths with eight new ships scheduled to be delivered between 2016 and 2018.

Carnival Corporation & plc also operates Holland America Princess Alaska Tours, the leading tour companies in Alaska and the Canadian Yukon. Traded on both the New York and London Stock Exchanges, Carnival Corporation & plc is the only group in the world to be included in both the S&P 500 and the FTSE 100 indices.

Celebrity Cruises Joins Dîner en Blanc as Official Modern Luxury Vacation Sponsor AS THE annual secret affair known as "Le Dîner en Blanc" pops up in select cities around the globe this year, modern luxury cruise brand Celebrity Cruises will be bringing a taste of its award-winning onboard experience to Dîner en Blanc attendees.

"Just as Celebrity Cruises offers awardwinning globally inspired cuisine, sexy and stylish spaces, and intuitive service on our stunning ships, Le Dîner en Blanc consistently offers unforgettable evenings of elegance, beauty and magic around the globe, and there is a natural synergy between our brands," said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, President and CEO, Celebrity Cruises. "We are thrilled to have a strong presence at Dîner en Blanc events in key cities in 2015, and to bring special elements of Celebrity's modern luxury to everyone who attends these incredibly visual, chic events."

Bystanders will witness groups of guests all dressed in white gathering at specific rallying points all across the city. Guided by Dîner en Blanc volunteers, these groups will then converge on one of the city's most beautiful settings, which is revealed only when guests arrive.

Every guest brings their own gourmet feast, table, chairs and table setting. Over the course of the evening, they will eat and celebrate amid music, entertainment and dancing.

Celebrity will reveal a number of exciting event experiences to Le Dîner en Blanc attendees at events in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington DC in 2015. The sponsorship also offers Le Dîner en Blanc members in those cities the opportunity to enter a sweepstakes to win a seven-night Celebrity cruise for two to the Caribbean. Celebrity is also providing the prize for a contest for Dîner en Blanc attendees in those cities and additional U.S. cities, which

includes submission of a photo of the attendee's 2015 Dîner en Blanc table setting and design, which will be judged by Dîner en Blanc on style, creativity, and elegance. The winner will receive the ultimate modern luxury escape: a grand prize of a 10-11-night Celebrity cruise for two in Europe plus roundtrip, coach-class airfare from a major US gateway, and $250 onboard credit.

"We are incredibly excited that Celebrity Cruises is bringing its modern luxury dynamic to our guests in these very special cities," said Sandy Safi, Co-Founder, Dîner en Blanc International. "Not only is Celebrity giving our guests opportunities to win cruises on their beautiful ships, but they are also bringing some unique touches to our events. We look forward to a continued relationship with Celebrity as a result of this year's activations."

Celebrity Cruises' iconic "X" is the mark of modern luxury, with its cool, contemporary design and warm spaces; dining experiences where the design of the

Spontaneous Travel: Love, Life and Happiness Maybe money really can buy you happiness - in the form of a spontaneous vacation that is. We all look forward to our long awaited and much planned vacations but taking a spontaneous trip could be the key to relieving stress, being happier, and adding more romance into our lives, according to new research released by Booking.com, the world leader in booking accommodations online.

The survey, which polled 6,620 respondents across six countries between June and July 2015, asked about their attitude towards spontaneity, revealed that Americans actually see a correlation between their mental health and being "spontaneous". Four out of five respondents (79%) agree that taking a spontaneous trip 'boosts their happiness'. Two thirds (65%) stated that it makes them 'more productive at work'. Nearly three fourths (74%) of respondents feel it 'reduces stress'.

Results also revealed when people are most likely to just get up and go. The top season for spur of the moment getaways is summer, with half (50%) of the vote. More free time (54%), getting away from the bad weather where they live (37%) and school holidays (21%) were all cited as top reasons for trying to get away in this season. Interestingly enough, there doesn't seem to be an exact "type" of trip that respondents are most hoping to take, with city trips (69%), foodie trips (67%),

seeing family (67%), country breaks (65%), beach trips (64%) and road trips (64%) all ranking high on the list of spontaneous getaways.

And for those looking to add a bit of romance to their relationship, they now can. Forget the old saying 'diamonds are a girl's best friend' because when it comes to meaningful gifts, what women all really, really want is a surprise trip away. Three out of four (76%) Americans agree that taking a spontaneous trip with their partner helps light up that spark again. In fact, 44% of American women surveyed said they wish their significant other would book a last minute trip for no reason at all. Over half of all women respondents (53%) say the gift that would be most meaningful to them from a significant other would be a surprise trip away-much more so than jewellery (8%) or a day at the spa (8%).

venues is as important as the cuisine; and the amazing service that only Celebrity can provide, all created to provide an unmatchable experience for vacationers' precious time.

Celebrity Cruises' 10 ships offer modern luxury vacations visiting all seven continents.

Celebrity also presents immersive cruisetour experiences in Alaska and Canada. Celebrity is one of six cruise brands operated by global cruise vacation company Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE, OSE: RCL). For more information, dial 1-800-437-3111, visit www.celebritycruises.com, or call your travel agent.

Dîner en Blanc was launched in Paris in 1988

by François Pasquier and a handful of friends, Le Dîner en Blanc has become a worldwide epicurean phenomenon. Dîner en Blanc - Paris now attracts nearly 15,000 people each year. What was a "friends and word-of-mouth only" event has grown into an international sensation celebrated on five continents.

There will only be one of these and it is sure to be a great collectible celebrating a very special night.

Stiff Little Fingers with Jake Burns, Henry Cluney, Brian Faloon and Ali McMordie, was formed in 1977 in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Along with the likes of the Clash, Sex Pistols, The Jam, Buzzcocks, Undertones, Sham 69, Stranglers, et al – Stiff Little Fingers were at the forefront of the punk movement. They wrote initially about their own lives, growing up at the height of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, in songs like "Suspect Device" and "Wasted Life". In November of '77, they released those two songs on their own Rigid Digits label, and sent a copy to BBC Radio One DJ John Peel, who started playing it every night.

These were the first of what

became SLF's signature style: lyrics that meld the personal and political, music that combines the energy of punk with infectious hooks, and delivery that rings of honesty and commitment. In 1979 they became the first band ever to hit the UK top 20 album charts on an independent label with their debut Inflammable Material. The album chronicles the band's anger and frustration at "the Troubles" in Northern Ireland, and calls on youth to create their own reality.

Their live shows continued to be special events of energy and power. The Go For It LP in '81 revealed more sophisticated song writing and musicianship, and another step in the shift from punk to power pop. The Now Then album of '82 alienated many of SLF's punk followers with its pop sound, and despite some glowing critical reviews, never got the recognition it deserved.

The band split in early '83. During the five years they spent apart, each member pursued musical projects. But none were as satisfying, or as successful, as Stiff Little Fingers. Said Ali, "It wasn't until we got back together again did we realize this was the only thing we were ever completely happy with."

In '87, Jake and Ali decided to do a few reunion shows.

The audience response to the reunion shows was overwhelming; with sell-out crowds larger than any that SLF had played in their original incarnation. The response to the shows across the world surprised and delighted the band and their following continued to grow, with younger "new" fans alongside the old diehards.

In '94 they released the Get a Life LP. The album helped renew interest in SLF just as newer bands that sited them as a major influence, such as Bad Religion, Sugar, Rancid and Therapy, were coming to prominence.

In August 2003, Stiff Little Fingers released their ninth studio album, Guitar and Drum, which includes a moving tribute to Joe Strummer, entitled "Strummerville".

In 2006, original bassist Ali McMordie returned to the fold, and the line-up has settled to the best ever; Jake Burns on lead vocals and guitar, Ali McMordie on bass, Ian McMallun on guitar, and Steve Grantley on drums.

Though focused on their new material, they always play the old favourites at gigs. Jake said, "You have to strike a balance. The difficulty with a band like ourselves is to try not make it sound like a cabaret band. Obviously, it'd be very easy to go, 'Hey, here's another old one you may remember.' A lot of the old songs the audience greet like old friends. I suppose it's the same as any band that's been around for any length of time. And yes, there are nights that we don't particularly want to play "Alternative Ulster" or "Suspect Device" because we've heard them 'til they're coming out our ears. But there's always the possibility that somebody out there has never seen the band before, never heard them."

Isaiah Stewart Releases Thrill Ride Jazz-rock recording artist Isaiah Stewart releases fourth album Thrill Ride, featuring Jamie Glaser, worldrenowned jazz-rock guitarist famous for his work with Yes' Jon Anderson, Jean-Luc Ponty, Chick Corea, Manhattan Transfer, Quincy Jones and Bryan Adams.

"Working with Isaiah was indeed a special musical journey, and I am honoured to be someone he trusted with his vision," Glaser says. "Isaiah's music is always packed with so much energy, melody and groove, and this new album captures the essence of what is so great about this seasoned artist. Thrill Ride is music that kicks; music that moves you; and music that enables you to discover exciting new things no matter how often you listen."

legend Tony Williams. "I was hanging with Tony late one night and he was his usual sarcastic raconteur self, making irreverent jokes about pretty much everything," Stewart explains. "Tony is typically upbeat, witty and funny, however he stopped joking when I told him how much I loved his musical diversity.

“Tony is, of course, world renowned for jazz but was equally skilled at playing rock ‘n’ roll with two bass drums and had even performed heavy metal with Ronnie Montrose and Edgar Winter,” Stewart continues. “When I told Tony how amazing it was that he could play everything from swing to thrashing heavy metal his humor and sarcasm subsided, and he says to me in a very thoughtful, serious manner, ‘Yeah, well, it’s not about labels. An artist should never care about labels?

It’s about music.

“There are only 12 notes. If you like it … play it.” To Stewart, having his idol Williams speak those words to him was akin to an army private receiving orders from a commanding officer. "I took Tony’s words to heart," Stewart says. "The music on this album is about Tony’s free spirit. It's about being true to all the different genres of music that I love – from dreamy smooth jazz to inyour-face thrashing heavy metal – and everything in between. Tony had incredible diversity as both a drummer and artist and his words inspired me to follow his example.”

“Having Jamie Glaser as a featured guest artist on this album is a wonderful honour,” Stewart says. “I have been a diehard fan of his phenomenal guitar playing for many years and collaborating with one of my musical idols is truly a dream come true.”

Glaser says it was an enjoyable and rewarding experience to work with Stewart.

"Working with Isaiah was indeed a special musical journey, and I am honoured to be someone he trusted with his vision,” Glaser says. “Isaiah's music is always packed with so much energy, melody and groove, and this new album captures the essence of what is so great about this seasoned artist. Thrill Ride is music that kicks; music that moves you; and music that enables you to discover exciting new things no matter how often you listen." thrill ride Salt Lake City Guitarist Terence Hansen

thrill ride Jamie Glaser, guitarist for Chick Corea and Jean­Luc Ponty During the past 16 years, Listeners around the world have streamed and/or downloaded music from Stewart’s prior albums more than 6.5 million times. Thrill Ride is similar in style to past efforts but, according to Stewart, will be more “upbeat” and “hard-rocking,” offering listeners even more diversity: “everything from smooth jazz to heavy metal - from fusion to funky vocal pop – from old school psychedelic rock to tribal hip hop.”

The musically diverse vision for Thrill Ride is the result of a conversation between Stewart and the late jazz

But while Williams provided the musical creative spark for Thrill Ride, jazz legend Chick Corea – who often creates concept albums where the songs provide individual chapters to a single musical narrative – inspired the larger thematic tapestry of the album. “Like Corea, I love science fiction,” Stewart says, “but rather than borrow from popular sci-fi writers, I opted to brainstorm my own storyline. I had this crazy idea for a jazz-rock concept album that combined: a futuristic urban landscape; a cool, rebellious hero; a fiery-red muscle car; ominous approaching storm clouds; and an alien invasion.”

A serendipitous coincidence was that Glaser, one of the original guitarists for the Chick Corea Elektric Band, wound up as a special guest performer on Thrill Ride.

“This was not planned but ended up being a wonderful surprise,” Stewart says. “It’s terrific to have one of Chick’s most talented sidemen along for my musical journey – especially when the idea for a sci-fi narrative was inspired by so many of Corea’s albums.”

A jazz-trained pianist and professional drummer since age 6, Isaiah has studied both acoustic and electronic drums with many of the world's most renowned players and is known for his technically impressive yet groove-oriented approach.

thrill ride Saxophonist David Halliday Since releasing his previous three albums: Life Games (2000), Urban Playground (2005), and Groove Garden (2010), Stewart has maintained a unique worldwide position with listeners throughout more than 30 different countries. He says his success as an independent artist is largely due to fundamental changes occurring in the music industry.

“It’s a brave new world in the music industry today.

There are literally more varieties of music available than ever before, and the Internet has made it so listeners can seek out the music they love most with the click of a button. It’s a very exciting time for music lovers and a terrific time to be an indy musician.” Still there are challenges for independent artists like Stewart as major record labels and a slew of independents vie to promote their artists to a global sea of online consumers.

"The challenges seem insurmountable at times but that’s what keeps me going," Stewart says. "I stay positive and focus on the victories. For example there are fans throughout China, India and the Middle East listening to my music and I constantly get fan mail from around the world in languages I don’t even understand. My wife translates all the Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French and German. The rest I read and answer with Google Translate.”

Also helping Stewart “stay positive” are the special guest artists featured on Thrill Ride in addition to Glaser: Joshua Stewart (piano solos), Terence Hansen (guitars), Dave Chisholm (trumpet), John Flanders (saxophones and flute), David Halliday (saxophones), Shawn Vincent (6-string bass), Carter Black (lead vocals), and My Bad (freestyle rapping). “All the guest artists on this album have their own successful music careers,” Stewart says, “and I consider myself their biggest fan. There is nothing more awe-inspiring than listening to all these musical virtuosos perform in studio, and when I collaborate with them I try to think like an audience member rather than a producer.”

Comprising 76 minutes of all-original music, Thrill Ride stands as an extraordinary musical achievement for Stewart and he has the highest possible hopes for the project.

“When I make music, my hopes are always about one thing and one thing only: to make people’s lives better,” Stewart says. “I want my music to have the same effect on my listeners as it does on me: I want to excite and inspire, and the music on Thrill Ride joins the seasoned talents of artists like Jamie Glaser with inspiration from jazz greats like Tony Williams and Chick Corea to deliver the best musical experience possible.”

Shout® Tackles a New Generation of Stains WE’VE ALL spilt something on our favouite shirt, dress, suit, pants or skirt. Ketchup, mustard and grass have always been the culprits of traditional stains but, over time, stains have evolved with each new generation creating their own, brand new mess. Enter the New Generation of Stains.

Artisanal foods like sriracha sauce, kombucha and kale are dominating grocery carts now more than ever and thanks to these crafty condiments, laundry time means taking on trendy stains too. A new survey by Shout®1 found that 63 percent of millennial’s are shopping for these craftier foods – and the stains they leave behind are nothing short of confidence-busting. Compared to classic stains like mustard and ketchup (43 percent), only 17 percent had the confidence to take on this new generation of stains.

For the second year in a row, Shout® partnered with The Color Run™, the ultimate hipster, messmaking 5K fun run. With races taking place across the country, Shout® partnered with music superstar and Spice Girl, Mel B., to kick off the summer with the ultimate celebration of fun and mess.

"As a working mom who is always on-the-go, life can often get a little chaotic, not to mention messy," said pop star and busy mom of three children, Mel B. "Shout® gives me the peace of mind I need to have fun because I can take care of stains on-the-go—and keeps my wardrobe intact after my daughter borrows my clothes

too." No matter what you're into, one thing is for sure, stains are not cool and knowing how to protect your wardrobe is key.

Laundry novice2. Despite millennials learning to do laundry on average at age 14 as part of at-home chores, their number one concern when doing laundry is not being able to get a stain out. Classic stains? No problem.

New gen stains? We have issues. Americans are confident in their ability to remove three of the most

common stains – mud (40 percent), ketchup/mustard (36 percent) and grass (35 percent) – but only a few are confident when facing sriracha (16 percent), kale smoothie (14 percent) or kombucha (12 percent).

Extra precautions to avoid stains, or not?

People do some creative things to avoid stains – like preparing a separate wardrobe for their kids to enjoy messy activities (62 percent of parents) and avoiding white-collared clothing (31 percent of Americans).

Emoji experts are not symbol savvy.

Millennial’s have embraced the art of texting using emojis, but the symbols that appear on all clothing tags remain a mystery with 85 percent unfamiliar with the dry clean symbol. Kids mean more stains and more laundry. Despite a wealth of stain removal knowledge, 39 percent of parents said they didn't realize how messy some foods could be until they had children.

Shout® has been effectively removing classic stains like ketchup or mustard for years and remains at the forefront of stain removal when it comes to today's trendy stains. Available in grocery, mass merchandise and drug stores nationwide, Shout® offers a wide array of stain removal products designed to treat and remove stains, protect clothes and give consumers the confidence to live life to the fullest.

Over 60% of Britons worried about sugar in confectionery According to ‘Confectionery’, a new Market Report from market intelligence provider Key Note, as many as 60.2% of British consumers are concerned about the high levels of sugar in confectionery. The findings, which are the result of an exclusive consumer survey commissioned by Key Note in March 2015, reveal the dramatic extent to which extensive media focus has penetrated the consumer base.

Sugar has replaced saturated fat as the primary health concern in the UK. In addition to contributing to obesity, diabetes and tooth decay, it has also been claimed that excessive sugar consumption can be addictive in the same way as alcohol and tobacco. The result has been detrimental to the demand for confectionery in the UK, with worried parents limiting consumption among the key child demographic. Sales within the latter could also be threatened if stringent

new restrictions on junk food advertising are brought in, with campaigners pushing for a television ban until 9pm, as well as greater limitations with regards to online brand presence.

Despite these threats, Key Note’s report nevertheless reveals that total value sales exhibited growth of 2.1% in

2014. Given the subdued nature of volume sales, this growth can primarily be attributed to two factors. The first is retail price inflation; UK confectionery manufacturers are reliant on sugar and cocoa imports, global prices of which have been extremely volatile since the global financial crash. Rising global demand is exceeding supply, with rising costs being pushed on to the consumer. Conversely, though, value growth in 2014 was also driven by the growing demand for premium confectionery, with higher-income households especially beginning to feel the effects of a wider economic recovery.

These trends are expected to continue to contribute to value growth in this market, despite the threat of increasingly penetrative health concerns to volume sales. As such, Key Note’s report forecasts total value growth of 8.6% between 2015 and 2019.

Natural Snacks Make Nutritious Meals THREE SQUARE meals a day are a thing of the past. Busy schedules, diverse dietary preferences and the flow of modern life necessitate more flexible and convenient meals. Luckily, snacking is in the midst of a revolution. Traditional snacks like chips and pretzels have given way to bigger, better and healthier options that deliver both convenience and nutrition in one tasty package. Whether clean-label, organic, vegan or nutrient-added, it's up to ingredient suppliers and manufacturers to develop products that meet all of these demands.

That's certainly a tall order.

According to a press release from NewsUSA, while there are no standard requirements for clean label snacks, naturally derived gums, hydrocolloids and colors are generally accepted in such applications and have become increasingly popular. You might see these ingredients listed as carrageenan, a soluble fibre from red seaweed, or cellulose gel, which is a refined plant fibre. In many foods and beverages, these ingredients improve shelf life and nutritional value without diminishing taste - like giving drinkable low-fat yogurt that distinctive creamy consistency with every sip.

They also prove quite functional in products that meet strict dietary requirements, like gluten-free and vegetarian options. Hydrocolloids and gums like carrageenan, alginates and cellulose gel can be sustainably sourced from nature and are perfectly suited for vegetarian and vegan foods. Either by improving the flavour and fullness of meatless sausage or producing non-dairy ice cream with that definitive indulgence and delectability, these ingredients are making new snacking options

both possible and palatable.

Reducing the number of ingredients in a recipe is one challenge and, more recently, adding ingredients has become another. We want foods and beverages with added value, but it's important to understand that introducing vitamins or nutrients to any product can significantly affect flavour and texture. Enriched, shelf-stable snacks that boast added protein need a stabilizer to maintain the quality of the product. Without the added ingredients like carrageenan, similar products might separate, taste chalky or be less effective than their claims imply.

Food companies are adapting their product formulations and rolling out new products to meet demand for healthy snacking solutions. Naturally derived ingredients that help reduce fat and sugar content but maintain product integrity are changing the way we snack. They deliver that indulgent experience we all appreciate.

Dodge Challenger, Charger and Fiat 500 Lead Segments in 2015 J.D. Power APEAL Study™ FCA US vehicles led three segments in J.D. Power's 2015 U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study™. Dodge Challenger, Charger and Fiat 500 lead the Midsize Sporty Car, Large Car and City Car segments respectively.

Who? FCA US is a North American automaker with a new name and a long history. Headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, FCA US is a member of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (FCA) family of companies. FCA US designs, engineers, manufactures and sells vehicles under the Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and FIAT brands as well as the SRT performance vehicle designation. The company also distributes the Alfa Romeo 4C model and Mopar products. FCA US is building upon the historic foundations of Chrysler, the innovative American automaker first established by Walter P. Chrysler in 1925; and Fiat, founded in Italy in 1899 by pioneering entrepreneurs, including Giovanni Agnelli.

FCA, the seventh-largest automaker in the world based on total annual vehicle sales, is an international automotive group. FCA is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "FCAU" and on the Mercato Telematico Azionario under the symbol "FCA." The 2015 Ram 1500 and 2015 Chrysler 300 also performed well in the APEAL study, ranking second and third in the Large Light Duty Pickup and Large Car segments respectively. Chrysler 300 was updated for the 2015 model year and ranked highest among Large Cars in J.D. Power's 2015 U.S. IQS Study. "We're proud to receive three APEAL awards in back-to-back years as customers continue to recognize that we're delivering exciting and appealing vehicles which meet their needs," said Matt Liddane, Vice President – Quality, FCANorth America. "An owner's positive experience with our vehicles, whether that's with a Dodge Challenger or a Fiat 500, is a true testament to our steadfast commitment to the highest level of quality across our vehicle lineup."

The APEAL Study, now in its 20th year, measures how gratifying a new vehicle is to own and drive, based on customer evaluations of 77 vehicle attributes of new 2015 model year vehicles. Customers are surveyed after 90 days of ownership at the same time as J.D. Power's Initial Quality Study (IQS). According to J.D. Power, the most appealing vehicles have greater owner loyalty, command higher transaction prices and spend less time on dealer lots before purchase.

Dodge Challenger was totally updated for the 2015 model year with a new standard eight-speed transmission, all-new interior, exterior updates and new safety technologies. Challenger achieved the highest IQS ranking among Midsize Sporty Cars for four out of the past five years as well as being named a segment leader in 2015 and 2014 J.D. Power U.S. Initial Quality (IQS) StudySM. For 2015, Dodge Charger is significantly updated, featuring a standard across the line-up new state-ofthe-art eight-speed automatic transmission and several new models, including the all-new Charger SRT Hellcat, SRT 392 and R/T Scat Pack models, all of which highlight the added performance to the new 2015 Dodge Charger lineup.

The Fiat 500 vehicle lineup was updated for the 2015 model year with the addition of an advanced instrument panel with a 7-inch high-definition TFT (Thin Film Transistor) cluster display, a redesigned center console and Bluetooth streaming audio capability. In addition to the interior enhancements across the Fiat 500 lineup, Fiat 500 Abarth, Abarth Cabrio and Turbo added a sixspeed automatic transmission as an option for 2015.

About the 2015 Chrysler 300 With roots that include the breakthrough 1955 and 2005 models, the new 2015 Chrysler 300 takes the nameplate's style and sophistication to new levels and

highlights six decades of ambitious American ingenuity through iconic design proportions and inspired materials, world-class quality and craftsmanship, bestin-class 31 miles per gallon (mpg) highway fuel economy, plus class-exclusive innovations — including a state-of-the-art TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission now standard on every model, the segment's most advanced all-wheel drive (AWD) system, award-winning Uconnect Access services, all-new and segmentexclusive 7-inch full colour driver information display (DID) and the newest generation Uconnect systems — putting boulevards and interstates on notice once again.

About the 2015 Dodge Challenger

The Dodge and SRT brands now offer the most complete lineup of muscle cars in the market, including the new 2015 Dodge Challenger SXT with its standard powerful and fuel-efficient Pentastar V-6 engine combined with the TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission that delivers 300 horsepower and an estimated 30 miles per gallon; the 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T with the high-torque 5.7-liter HEMI® now paired with the TorqueFlite eight-speed or six-speed manual transmission; and the all-new 6.4-liter HEMI Challenger Scat Pack that delivers 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque with the TorqueFlite eight-speed or six-speed manual. The new Dodge Challenger SRT 392 adds an exclusive wheel design, adaptive damping suspension and SRT Drive Modes to the same 6.4-liter naturally-aspirated HEMI powerplant while the Challenger SRT Hellcat with its 707 horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 engine is most powerful and fastest muscle car ever.

About the 2015 Dodge Charger

As the most successful four-door fastback-styled muscle car on the market, the new, more aggressively

restyled 2015 Dodge Charger remains in a class of its own, delivering even more performance, technology and refinement thanks to its TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission now standard on every model – from the SE to the SXT, R/T, R/T Road & Track, R/T Scat Pack, SRT 392 and the SRT Hellcat. The 2015 Charger also offers a full range of fuel-efficient and powerful engine options, including the award-winning 3.6-liter V-6 Pentastar engine, which delivers up to 31 miles per gallon (mpg) on SE and SXT models; the legendary 370horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 on the R/T; the 6.4-liter HEMI V-8, which punches out a best-in-class, naturally aspirated 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque in the SRT 392 and R/T Scat Pack models and the new 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI Hellcat V-8 engine. The Charger SRT Hellcat delivers ultimate performance with 707 horsepower, 650 lb.-ft. of torque, a top speed of 204 miles per hour, and a National Hot Rod Association (NHRA)-certified, quarter-mile elapsed time of 11.0 seconds on street tires, making it the quickest, fastest and most powerful sedan in the world.

About 2015 Ram 1500

The Ram 1500 offers an exclusive, 3.0-liter EcoDiesel engine that delivers an outstanding combination of best-in-class fuel efficiency – 29 mpg – 420 lb.-ft. of torque and up to 9,200 pounds of towing capability.

Ram's half-ton entry also features a truckload of pioneering, fuel-saving systems, including first-insegment technologies: TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, stop-start system, thermal management system, pulse-width modulation and active aerodynamics, including grille shutters and air suspension.

About the 2015 Fiat 500

Reminiscent of the original Cinquecento, the 2015 Fiat 500 builds on the vehicle's global popularity. Since its initial launch in 2007, more than 1 million Fiat 500 vehicles have been sold in more than 110 countries around the world. The model's unquestionable popularity is the result of the Fiat 500's great ability to deliver unmatched personalization options with advanced solutions in terms of quality, engine performance and passenger comfort. In addition to success on the sales front, the Fiat 500 has earned more than 80 international awards.

Technology To Reduce Car Door Damage KIEKERT AG, the leader in automotive closure-system technology, plans to introduce an innovative "brake system" for car doors called "i-protect." Kiekert's sensorbased system is designed to reduce sheet metal damage and costly insurance claims by automatically stopping car doors from striking other objects as they are being opened.

The idea for the "i-protect" system initially was developed as a technology project by students at Cologne's Erzbischoefliche Liebfrauenschule in Germany. The project took first place in a recent "business@school" competition for highschool students sponsored by the Boston Consulting Group. Kiekert, the leading global supplier of car-door locking systems, supported the student team in the competition and will further develop and industrialize the innovation.

"Our work with business@school, as well as our partnership programs with universities throughout the world, helps us maintain our position as the technology leader in automotive locking systems," said Dr. Karl Krause, Kiekert's CEO. The mechanism built into Kiekert's i-protect system will stop car doors from slamming into parked cars, garage walls and other

obstacles and potentially could eliminate millions of irritating and often costly dings and dents, Dr. Krause noted. The Cologne student group will retain patent rights to its

basic, award-winning technology as part of the business@school program and its partnership with Kiekert.

Kiekert works closely with a wide variety of external partners in industry and academia, including ties with the University of Bochum in Germany, Yichun University in China, Kettering University in the United States and the Instituto Tecnologico de Monterrey in Mexico.

Business@school is a Boston Consulting Group educational initiative to promote closer working relationships between business and education. More than 2,000 students per year participate in the program. Additional information is available on the Internet at www.business-atschool.net.

Founded in 1857, Kiekert AG is recognized as the global auto industry's leading developer of car, light truck and commercial vehicle locking systems. The company has six development centers, six production sites and two sales locations with 5,100 employees in nine countries.

Kiekert develops, produces and sells tailormade solutions for its customers. Its anticipated turnover for the 2015 business year is more than 800 million euros. More information at: www.kiekert.com.

What Really Happened to JFK inside Trauma Room One The doctors being interviewed for the documentary about what really went on behind closed doors

FOR THE first time ever, seven of the surviving doctors who tried to save President John F. Kennedy are featured together in an explosive new documentary about the last minutes of JFK's life. The doctors relive the minutes and take viewers inside Emergency Room at Dallas' Parkland Hospital, which became the centre of American political power on that horrific November day in 1963.

The doctors, for the first time together, provide details of their resuscitation efforts to save the President. They recount the ensuing moments when, against Texas law, the President's body was forcibly removed from the hospital, and they describe the irony of less than 48 hours later trying to save the life of the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. They discuss their fears and reluctance to talk about their involvement in what was one of the darkest days in America's history.

The featured physicians in the film are Dr. Donald Seldin, Dr. Robert McClelland, Dr. Ronald Jones, Dr. Kenneth Salyer, Dr. Joe D. Goldstrich, Dr. Peter Loeb and Dr. Lawrence Klein. "Everyone in the country has a right to know whatever I happen to be able to tell them because this isn't something personal -- it's information that belongs to the entire country," Dr. McClelland says.

"When I saw the autopsy pictures, I was very upset that the report and the pictures of the President did not accurately reflect what had transpired and what I had seen myself in Trauma Room One," Dr. Goldstrich says.

"Will people feel they have a better understanding of what actually happened in Trauma Room One –

LBJ sworn in on Air Force One.

absolutely they will," he says. "That's why this documentary is so important."

The documentary is produced by Bill Garnet and Jacque Lueth, veteran producers whose lives were forever influenced by the JFK tragedy. "I always wanted to know what really happened inside Trauma Room One," Garnet says. "To this day, no one knows, and no one has gone on record to say what happened. Until now."

"This film is about finding the truth from the only people who were actually there and saw the President's wounds unaltered," Lueth says. "This documentary is like no other JFK film ever produced." The editor for The Parkland Doctors is the award-winning Kate Amend, ACE. The film is a sponsored project of the International Documentary Association (IDA), whose mission is to support documentary filmmakers and to further the art of the documentary.

"We are on Indiegogo because we believe that the citizens of the Internet have the power to ignite a public debate on this subject," Garnet says. "While we need your financial support, we also need you to become activists and advocates for the truth." This film is being produced independently and every dollar raised by this campaign is going directly towards completing the film.

And while we are talking about JFK, according to CNN, here are five facts you may or may not know about the former President John F. Kennedy who was assassinated on November 22, 1963.

1. Oswald wasn't arrested for killing JFK. Lee Harvey Oswald was actually arrested for fatally shooting a police officer, Dallas patrolman J.D. Tippitt. He denied killing either one and, as he was being transferred to county jail two days later, he was shot and killed by Dallas nightclub operator Jack Ruby.

2. Assassinating the president wasn't a federal crime in 1963.

3. TV networks suspended shows for four days On November 22, 1963, at 12:40 p.m. CST -- just 10 minutes after President Kennedy was shot -- CBS broadcast the first nationwide TV news bulletin on the shooting. After that, all three television networks -- CBS, NBC, and ABC -- interrupted their regular programming to cover the assassination for four straight days.

4. It led to the first and only time a woman swore in a U.S. president Sarah Hughes, became the only woman to preside over a presidential oath when she swore in Vice President Lyndon Johnson as president aboard Air Force One. 5. Eight months before Oswald assassinated JFK, he tried to kill an outspoken anti-communist, former U.S. Army Gen. Edwin Walker.

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Returning This August Two ALS patients who co-founded the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, together with fifteen ALS organizations, announced today a collaborative effort to launch the Challenge again this August. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge became a global phenomenon in 2014 and raised $220 million globally for ALS research and patient care.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease (MND), is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that leads to paralysis, due to the death of motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain. There is no known cure for the disease. However, as a result of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in 2014, significant new investments in research on the causes of and potential treatments for ALS have been made.

Co-founders Pat Quinn and Pete Frates will kick off this year's ALS Ice Bucket Challenge on July 31 in Boston. The two ALS patients, their families and a steering committee of nonprofits have been working together since last year and are putting the final touches on a special launch event. A dedicated website – www.alsicebucketchallenge.org – was unveiled today to inform people about ALS and the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, and to make it easier for them to donate to an ALS organization of their choosing.

"Last year gave the ALS community hope for the first time in a long time," said Quinn, who lives in Yonkers, N.Y., and was diagnosed with ALS two years ago. "But we still need the public's help to keep the momentum

going. We plan to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge again this August and every August until we find a cure."

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is a viral video phenomenon that soaked the nation and the world for the first time in August 2014. A person dumps a bucket of ice and water over his or her head, challenging three friends to either do the same, donate to the ALS charity of their choice, or both. More than 17 million videos of people taking the challenge were posted on Facebook

The Future of Music is the Experience DECADES AGO, the jukebox was an essential feature of bars and restaurants throughout North America and Europe. Its popularity can be contributed to the fact that it encouraged people to bond together over music. Friends and families would find new songs, dance, and socialize around the jukebox. With the rise of mobile music devices, that social experience soon became a thing of the past.

Inspired to have people engage with their music in a different way using the latest technologies, iOS developer Andy Martinez created an iPad App that was designed to maintain the spirit of communal bonding associated with the jukebox. Martinez is pleased to announce the recent release of his app JukeBox 3D for iPad on Apple's iTunes App Store. His app is said to have an iconic and vintage appearance that resembles an actual 1950's Seeburg Jukebox while still maintaining all the powerful benefits of modern technology.

"There is an entire generation that is losing touch with the social aspect of music," said Andy Martinez. "There is something very alluring about a jukebox.

The elegance, lights, and sound are comforting. It is a shared experience that is normally associated with laughter and celebration. The jukebox was literally a soundtrack to life and that is where the JukeBox 3D app comes into play. Friends can use the app together in order to share new music, browse through songs,

look at the jukebox lights, and socialize.

JukeBox 3D is the perfect combination of nostalgia and modern technology."

Unlike most music applications, JukeBox 3D allows multiple people to share one playlist and select their own songs. The app was designed with social interaction in mind and is meant to be shared amongst a group of people. Once the app is opened, each person within the group can select a song off the iPad and contribute to the social atmosphere around them, rather than isolating themselves by listening on their own personal devices. Ultimately, JukeBox 3D encourages people to experience music together, share emotions, and make memories.

The JukeBox 3D App for iPad is available for download in the iTunes App Store. Any journalists, bloggers, or reviewers interested in experiencing the JukeBox 3D App should email press@jukebox-3d.com with the name of their organization in order to receive a free promotional copy of JukeBox 3D for download. For additional info please visit www.jukebox-3d.com

alone last year. These videos were watched by 440 million people a total of 10 billion times.

"The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge represents all that's great about this country – it's about fun, friends, family, and it makes a difference to all of us living with ALS," said Frates, who lives in Beverly, Mass., and was diagnosed with ALS when he was 27 years old. "I am so proud that ALS organizations have come together to support me and my family and the whole ALS community as we unite to launch this year's ALS Ice Bucket Challenge."

All told the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge led to more than $220 million in donations to ALS-oriented nonprofits, including some of those leading this year's collaborative launch effort. Many of the donations raised by ALS nonprofits during last year's challenge have already been invested or allocated to support new ALS research efforts, increased advocacy, and expanded and improved local care and services for people diagnosed with ALS, their families, and care providers.

This announcement represents the largest coordinated effort of ALS nonprofits to date, and many of the organizations hope to work more closely together not only on awareness and fundraising activities such as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, but also on providing crucial patient services and accelerating ALS research.

Pay up with your iPhone EPOXY INC., (OTCQB: EPXY) has been working to bring the marketing and aesthetic components of the Epoxy Mobile App up to par with the innovative technology it offers. The result is a completely new app design that incorporates two additional features: 1) The Wallet and 2) The Credit Separator.

Feedback from business and franchise owners played a crucial role in the development process and dictated many of the decisions.

"The final result is an intuitive design that dramatically simplifies the usage of the app," said Dave Gasparine, Epoxy Founder & CEO. "It seamlessly combines the functionalities desired by businesses and their customers with a cleaner, modernized look."

The first of the two new components is ‘The Wallet’, which allows users to store their digital gift and loyalty cards in one place, making them easier to access. This eliminates the hassle of digging through emails or opening multiple apps. The Wallet feature was designed to make the transaction process more efficient and less stressful for consumers and business owners alike.

The second new component is ‘The Credit Separator’. It does exactly as the name states, keeping referral credits that customers earn separate from their gift card balances. Unlike before, businesses can now determine an expiration date for the credits customers earn through referral and loyalty programs. This is a powerful tool for business owners, creating a sense of urgency and

encouraging customers to visit sooner and more frequently.

From the very beginning, Epoxy was designed to be simple and convenient.

It didn't require any bulky equipment, carrying of cards or hole punches. The new app design is a result of listening to feedback and a dedication to consistently finding ways to improve the interactions between businesses and customers.

"During the sales process, owners always ask if Epoxy will benefit business and be easy for customers to use," adds Gasparine. "With this new app design, we can answer with a confident and resounding yes. Businesses have more reasons than ever to use Epoxy."

Epoxy, Inc. is the developer of the Epoxy App, an application or "app" for iPhone iOS and Android operating systems. Epoxy is an innovative smartphone application designed to conveniently connect business owners and consumers in order to ease marketing frustrations. The mobile app gives loyal customers the ability to keep track of virtual loyalty cards and mobile gift cards all in one place while also giving opportunities to review and share businesses with friends. In turn, Epoxy provides businesses the ability to reward customers, share offers, and deliver information about special events right to their smartphones. Epoxy designers are dedicated to providing a superior and easy-to-use product for business owners to reward loyal customers. More information from: http://epoxyapp.com.

This week in History On 29th July 1981, The Prince of Wales married Lady Diana Spencer in St Paul's Cathedral. She became known as HRH The Princess of Wales. The Princess was born on 1st July 1961, at Park House on The Queen's estate at Sandringham, Norfolk, and lived there until the death of her grandfather, the 7th Earl, in 1975, when the family moved to the Spencer family seat at Althorp House in Northamptonshire.

Lady Diana's father, then Viscount Althorp and later the eighth Earl Spencer, had been an equerry to both George VI and The Queen. Her maternal grandmother, Ruth, Lady Fermoy, was a close friend and lady in waiting to The Queen Mother.

The Prince and Princess of Wales had two sons, Prince William, born on 21st June 1982, and Prince Harry, born

on 15th September 1984. From the time of their marriage, The Prince and Princess of Wales went on overseas tours and carried out many engagements within Britain together. On 9th December 1992, Prime Minister John Major announced to the House of Commons that The Prince and Princess of Wales had agreed to separate. The marriage was dissolved on 28th August 1996. Diana, Princess of Wales was still regarded as a member of the Royal Family. She continued to live at Kensington Palace and to carry out her public work for a number of charities.

When The Princess was killed in a car crash in Paris on 31st August 1997, The Prince of Wales flew to Paris with her two sisters to bring her body back to London. The Princess lay in the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace until the night before the funeral. Their two children, Prince William and Prince Harry, are second and third in line of succession to the throne.

Prince William Arthur Philip Louis was born on 21st June 1982 at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, in London.

He was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Robert Runcie, at Buckingham Palace. Prince Henry Charles Albert David (always known as Prince Harry) was born on 15th September 1984 at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington. He was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Robert Runcie, on December 1984 in St George's Chapel, Windsor.

25th July 2000: Concorde crashed just minutes after take-off, killing all 109 people on board and four people on the ground. The Air France jet, bound for New York, crashed into a Relais Bleu hotel in the town of Gonesse,

10 miles north of Paris just before 1700 local time (1500 GMT). It is understood the aircraft, which had taken off from Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport just two minutes earlier, plummeted to the ground after one of the lefthand engines caught fire on take-off. Concorde's last commercial flight was on 23 October 2003.

On this Day: July 28th 1976: Chinese earthquake kills hundreds of thousands Hundreds of thousands of people were feared dead following an 8.3 magnitude earthquake in China.

Looking to Sell Your Home? Here are Five Ways to Get it Ready If you want to sell your home quickly and get top price for it, below are some tips from Fizber.com, a company that provides homeowners with the resources that they need to market and sell their home themselves, on things that you can do to greatly improve your chances: Maximize Your Home's Curb

Appeal – The first thing potential buyers see is the outside of your home, so make sure that first impression counts! Trim bushes and shrubs, mend broken fences, sweep your front walk, and roll trash containers out of sight. In addition, clean dirty surfaces such as windows, fences, siding, brick, etc., by power washing them. Also, plant some flowers that complement your home and apply a fresh layer of mulch to your garden beds.

Clean Your House and Make Any Needed Repairs – Remove clutter and box up any unnecessary or valuable household items and put them into storage. Not only will this create the illusion that there's more space in your home, but it will also help keep your valuables safe. Moreover, get rid of any funky odors in your home

and make any necessary repairs.

Tone Down Bold Colours – Bold or obnoxious colours can be a huge turn off to prospective buyers. Paint over them with a neutral colour instead. That way, when potential buyers walk into

your home they will focus on all that your house has to offer them vs. all the time and money that it will take to change the paint colour.

Stage Your Furniture – Arrange any existing furniture in

your home so that it complements whatever room it is in. Sometimes just moving a piece of furniture from one room to another can make a huge difference. Then, once you're done, add some colorful accessories such as throw pillows, candles, flowers, table lamps, etc.

Make Simple Upgrades – You don't have to spend a lot of money, but making simple upgrades to modernize your home (such as upgrading your kitchen appliances to stainless steel, replacing any worn out carpet or flooring, painting your kitchen cabinets and updating the hardware, etc.) can go a long way with potential buyers—and ultimately, increase the amount that they're willing to pay for it.

Hulk Hogan: fired from WWE HULK HOGAN, the 6’7” icon of the modern wrestling era has been expelled from the biggest wrestling showcase, the WWE for a racist comment about her daughter's partner. He said on tape; "I do not know if Brooke (his daughter) had sex with a black man. I'm a racist." He is also accused of using the ‘N word’. That is the phrase that has provoked outrage in the WWE, which has decided to do without him and remove Hogan from its list of wrestlers.

Subsequently, Hogan, 61, apologized in People magazine: "This is not me. I firmly believe that everyone in the world is important and should not be treated differently because of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion or other."

Hogan is engaged in a legal battle with gossip website Gawker, which published a video of the fighter having sex with a friend of his wife, Heather Clem, when they were both partners. Now, the audio in which Terry Bollea (his real name) makes the racist comment has been

submitted as evidence in the trial with Gawker.

The mythical figure of American Wrestling began his career in wrestling in 1977, 38 years ago, and has become one of the most familiar faces, participating in films and TV shows away from wrestling.

Recently, the wrestler published a mysterious message on his Twitter account: "In the storm I release control, God and his Universe will sail me where he wants me to be, one love.” HH Former NBA star Dennis Rodman, says Hulk Hogan is not a racist. Rodman came to Hogan’s defence after the WWE terminated its contract with the wrestling legend following the release of a leaked court document showing he used the Nword on a sex tape. “I’ve known Hulk Hogan for 25 years,” Rodman tweeted, according to the Daily News: “There isn’t a racist bone in that mans body. Lets lend our support to the Hulkster who most certainly is not a racist,” Rodman tweeted at Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson,

Rugby Super League Team Issued a Winding Up Petition by Creditor

IT APPEARS that top flight sports teams are not immune to becoming caught up in Insolvency proceedings.

Salford City Reds or the Red Devils as known by rugby fans, who currently sit mid table of the Rugby Super League, have been hit with a winding up petition from creditor, Konica Minolta, and have a court hearing date August 10th.

The Club have responded quickly by moving to dismiss the existence of any financial issues by releasing a statement saying that they have contacted Konica already and are awaiting a response from them. This is not the first time that the Club have faced a precarious financial future. In 2010 a winding up petition was presented by former Club sponsor Steuer Gregsson limited. This matter was later resolved outside of court. They also become the subject of another claim from HMRC for a large outstanding tax

bill, which again was later resolved.

The Club’s current CEO, Martin Vickers, believes that the club is being managed carefully and has a bright future based on the levels of investment from current owner, Marwan Koukash, who is a businessman and racehorse owner.

Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Vickers had the following to say: “In understanding the reality of the Club’s position, fans need to view the Club’s accounts which show unprecedented levels of investment in a Super League Club by the Club’s owner Marwan Koukash. The Club would also wish to confirm that 100 per cent of the debts of the former club are being paid in full, including those to the council.”

Peter Murray, whose firm Insolvency & Law are experts in issuing and defending winding up petitions had the following to say on the matter... “Now the winding up petition has reached public domain the Club’s other creditors may decide to join the petition as supporting creditors.

This would prevent withdrawal of the petition and force the Club to settle the debts claimed by those supporting creditors if the petition is to be dismissed by the court and the company remains in its pre-petition state.”

“When a company becomes the subject of a winding up petition every effort should immediately be taken to ensure its withdrawal before it enters public domain. Once other creditors receive knowledge of the petition matters for the company will very quickly become much worse and that is why immediate action is necessary”

Shaquille O’Neal and Mike Tyson.

His daughter Brooke Hogan has defended her father Hulk after WWE severed ties with the wrestler last week after audio of a racist tirade about his daughter's romantic relationships surfaced. In part, she wrote: 'If you knew my father, you would know how hard he fought... and the way it brought a smile to people light, medium and dark. Human isn't perfect, and perfect is not he, but I can tell you one thing, it's just not what it seems. Cause If you knew the dad I knew, you'd know he raised me well. He taught me folks are so much more than shades could ever tell.”

Shortly after the contents of the tape became public, Hogan admitted that the tape, recorded in 2007, was real and said his words were 'offensive' and 'unacceptable'. "Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation," Hogan says in a statement.

"It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it." He added: “I believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender,

orientation, religious beliefs or otherwise.

I am disappointed with myself that I used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs. It is not who I am. I continue to work every day to improve as a person, and this matter is an important learning experience for me in that regard. As a result I am resigning from my contractual relationship with the WWE."

Chris Froome triumphant in Paris While the sun shone all over Spain, the final day of the Tour of France was shrouded in cold, wet and damp conditions.

However for Chris Froome, it was day of triumph and at age 30 he becomes the first British rider to win the prestigious race twice. The triumphal ride through the streets of Paris saw Froome riding a special bike of all yellow. Froome went on to write tweets thanking his teammates, especially Richie Porte on the climb to Alpe d'Huez, when they fought off the attack of Nairo Quintana. "I could not have done it without you," was the dedication from the leader of the Sky. For Froome, Sunday evening was a day of champagne, photos and celebrations after three weeks of tension. Those lining the route spat, even threw urine, with the French Press questioning him almost daily about his physical and mechanical statistics. He endured the pressure. In Paris he entered the finish line and hugged his team-mates.

On Sunday the sprinters focused on seeking victory in their own mini-stage race, finishing in the Champs Elysees.

Finally, the sun came out and the stage winner was Andre Greipel who achieved his fourth stage win in this Tour.

Froome looked like winning the Tour from the start in Holland, in La Pierre Saint Martin, although, paradoxically,

Quintana, who finished second, lost his chance to win in the dikes of Zeeland.

Froome is a product of the successful Sky team, but that does not mean his victory was a given thing. The British team squeezes the all the possibilities out of their number one rider. They optimize the strengths and minimize your flaws.

However, in France, tarnished by accusations in the French Media some of the public threw urine, booed and spat at him urine, all actions unfit for a true fan of cycling.

The British victory is unquestionably a team effort. On the podium, after hearing ‘God Save The Queen’, he pulled a paper from his pocket and read out, one by one, the names of all the components of the team, not forgetting any. It was a nice touch, because although yellow is his, and he will go down in history of the Tour, the victory also belongs to those who helped him achieve victory.

CD Torrevieja go viral

CD TORREVIEJA is currently one of the most talked about football clubs in the world, thanks to this Football Manager video from the clubs PR guru Chris Darwin (https://youtu.be/8aXh6GxN33E) . Just this one simple video raised the profile of the club overseas tenfold with it having more than150,000 hits on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and www.wearethemanagers.com combined.

Chis said: “CD Torrevieja is your local club and we want you to be part of it. Be it buying a season ticket (100€), becoming a Socio Member and having a say in running the club (50€), coming to the league games (tickets just

cost 10€) or becoming a sponsor (packages starting at just 25€) we welcome everybody and anybody to help us on the path to promotion. We play in the Tercera Division, which is just one below Segunda B – last season in Segunda B you had clubs like Real Murcia, Real Oviedo and Cadiz.”

Chris added; “On Friday night we welcomed Hull City U21’s to the Vicente Garcia Stadium and the atmosphere was amazing, along with the fact that the bar was drunk dry. If you like football and you like sunshine then you really need to come and watch your local side. Join our newsletter to stand a chance of winning some prizes including the new team shirt, a season ticket and free entry to the next preseason friendly. Check out our new online club shop where you can buy the new kit for just 25€ and become a Socio Member for just 50€: www.tiendacdtorrevieja.tictail.com. For any more information, please contact me on cdtorreviejaofficial@gmail.com.”

As we get ever closer to the season kicking off in less than a month, on August 23rd, the teams next and possibly last pre-season friendly is against Hercules on

August 7th, with kick off at 8.00pm and entrance 10€ at the gate, 5.00€ for season ticket holders and free for the 15 and under. The team is coming together well and although they have not won any of their pre-season games, the team have not looked out of place playing against much tougher opposition, while in anything other than a friendly game, Hull City U21’s would probably have seen a couple of red cards, and their last minute goal to make it 3:1 did not do the night justice.

they say, They King is dead, long live the king.

The Committee wasted little time making a new appointment and the man they have chosen to fill the role is Roberto Cases Hernandez. Roberto is 35 years old and is from Orihuela. He started playing in the Valencia youth set up before moving to Real Murcia reserve side, Imperial. A further move to Orihuela and finally to FC Torrevieja, when the club was still in Preferente, in the 2002/03 season. Roberto played as the regular first choice keeper at Torrevieja before he left the club in March of 2003 due to work commitments.

As a manager, he was in charge of Catral in 1st Regional, Orihuela Youth side in the National Youth division before he moved up to the Orihuela Reserve side before being appointed as assistant manager at Orihuela CF in the 2B Division. He comes to CD

Montesinos full of energy and is excited at the prospect of getting a side together which will be able to make a challenge once again, at this level and, hopefully, go one step better than in previous years. Roberto already knows some of the players at the Club, such as Carlos, Macan, M & A, Johnny and Vazquinho.

But he is aware that he will need to bring new players into the Club, especially in key positions and with this in mind he will be bringing in another goalkeeper, centre half, left back and attacking midfielder and another centre forward with a view to add competition to the squad which he hopes will consist of 21 or 22 players. Roberto will also bring with him a fitness coach who will almost certainly work alongside him as his assistant.

Pre-season at the Club will start on the 10th of August (8.30pm) and it is expected the first week will be mostly fitness work getting the players ready for the Pre-season matches (especially the Full Monte pre-season trophy) and ready for the first match of the season which will be on the weekend of the 19th/20th of September. When asked about his objectives this season, Robert was, like most managers, wary of raising false expectations and all he would say on the matter was that as always he would take “one match at a time”. Finally, Roberto said he had heard a lot about the Full Monte supporters club and was looking forward to meeting as many of the members once pre-season training started.

Changes aplenty for CD Montesinos LOTS OF changes are happening at CD Montesinos, after another season when the Club failed to fulfil it’s true potential at this level.

Although they have been one of the top sides in the 2nd Regional division in the past few seasons, promotion has eluded “Monte” and fans, management and the International Supporters club ‘The Full Monte’ note that this is something that needs to be ‘put right’.

With long serving Presidente, Pilar Garcia Perez, standing down after eight seasons at the helm, the new man in charge at the Club is Felipe Paredes Aldequer. Felipe is no stranger to the Club as he has acted as Club Secretary for the last few seasons so knows the Club inside and out. He comes into his new role with some new faces but he has also introduced “fresh blood” with a view of making the club more proactive. Felipe has kept a low profile whilst working hard for the club these last few seasons so many of you will not recognise his name. However, you are all sure to recognise him when you see him at the games, both home and away.

Another BIG change this season is that long serving and popular manager, Juanpe, has not been renewed as manager and although the new committee offered him a place on the Club’s committee, in a technical capacity, Juanpe turned the role down. The supporters club wish Juanpe well for the future and thank him for his tireless work for the Club and the support and warmth he has always given to the “Full Monte” supporters Club. But as

Torrevejense 'Pochi' Wandosell success at the European Optimist Championship SPAIN HAS begun to show her worth recently in many different sailing classes around Europe. Spain once again looked good in the recent European Championship Optimist class, that took place in the slightly cooler and wetter location of the Welsh town of Pwllheli, from 17th to 24th July.

The event was seen as a success for Spain on two levels, both for the team and at individual level with the team’s coach stressing that torrevejense Jose Maria Wandosell 'Pochi', achieving fifth place. This latest result places him among the ten best in Europe. Significantly, it is the first time that the sailor from the Real Club Nautico of Torrevieja is part of the national team. The boy from Torrevieja could not have had a better start in the European Championship, with two first places but in the

third race on Sunday and under unfavourable weather conditions, he fell to 24th and that left himself too much to do to win outright.

The first stage was for him to qualify in the gold group and once there he began to open the doors to a podium

finish and especially in the last race, in which he achieved a very credible fourth allowing him to finish fifth overall in the championship of Europe.

The success of Wandosell, also helped confirm Spain's triumph as a team in achieving first place, but also by individual, with the victory and the title of champion of Europe going to the javiense Julia Miñana. The rest of the Spanish armada consisting of eight sailors also shone brightly in Welsh waters.

Alicia Fras and Alba Trigo reached the top ten in the ladies group with the girls coming fourth and tenth. For the boys, three of them also placed in the top ten: Adolfo Villalon, fourth; 'Pochi' Wandosell, fifth and tenth Jerome Martin-Lagos. Manuel Beltrá finished the tenth and Xisco Comas nineteenth in the Gold Group.

Football y Fútbol STARTING WITH the World Cup 2018, the home nations and the Republic of Ireland now know what they are up against. And it should be fun as England will face old rivals Scotland, while Wales look across the Irish Sea and play the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland are all by themselves and have to go it alone.

The top team from each group goes through with the eight best second-placed sides playing off. In Group F, England and Scotland have Slovakia and Slovenia in central Europe an ensured couple of points from Malta and tougher opposition in the Baltics with Lithuania.

Group D is not a walk in the park for either Wales or the Repulbic of Ireland with them being drawn against Austria (joint 15th in the world) who are likely to be the main threat. Lower down the pecking order comes Serbia (43rd), Moldova (124th) and Georgia (153rd).

Northern Irish FA chief executive Patrick Nelson was not so confident about his group, which includes World Champions Germany: "When Germany came out we just thought what a great competition this is going to be.

Any group with Germany in it is going to be difficult, but it is going to be exciting. All the matches will be exciting - we didn't do very well against Azerbaijan the last time we came up against them so we will be looking to improve." Apart from Germany, they have drawn the Czech Republic, Norway, Azerbaijan and little San Marino, who Northern Ireland beat 3-0 in a World Cup qualifier in February 2009.

Meanwhile closer to home, the Spanish team will face Italy in Group G qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia completing against Albania, Israel, Macedonia and Liechtenstein. Thus, unless both Spain and Italy really lose the plot, the clever money should be on the two former World Cup winning teams going through.

Although he was once close to joining Manchester United, according to 'Bein Sports', former Barcelona Manager Pep Guardiola who still has a year left on his Bayern Munich contract, is set to join Manchester City in 2016. Guardiola will see out his third season in charge of the Bundesliga giants although apparently he feels burnt out at Bayern Munich and needs a change of scene. The City bosses' complete lack of faith in Pellegrini may have triggered their interest in bringing Guardiola to the club.

And staying with City, they were easily outclassed by a Real Madrid team who beat them 4:1. Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe and Denis Cheryshev scored for goals for Rafa Benítez's side, who swept aside Manuel Pellegrini's men with relative ease. Three goals in the first half really ended the contest with City pulling one back on the stroke of half-time with an incorrectly awarded penalty as Sergio Ramos's handball took place outside the area. 'Los Blancos' said goodbye to Australia and are now in China for the final leg of their Far East tour.

Real Madrid sweep aside Manchester City in Australia

Across town, Angel Di Maria's proposed move from Manchester United to Paris St-Germain is "close" to being decided, says the French team's coach Laurent Blanc. French paper L'Equipe has reported United have agreed a £46.5m deal with the French champions for the

27-year-old. Goalkeeper David De Gea - strongly linked with Real Madrid over the summer - started against Barcelona on Saturday and looked impressive.

Afterwards Van Gaal praised the 24-year-old Spain international. "He has showed his quality. The first chance was for Barcelona. When you stop the first chance, then you can score the first goal. That is always the difference in the game. Of course I do hope that David De Gea shall stay, but in this world of football you never know." Of the 3:1 victory over Barcelona, Van Gall noted the performance of Wayne Rooney, starting up front, who scored the opening goal and new £31m forward Memphis Depay. "Barcelona could not cope with the threat of Depay and Rooney, but I have to say Adnan was also a big threat to them in the 30 minutes he played as a striker. That is good to see."

Barcelona's second and much anticipated appearance in the International Champions Cup ended with a 3-1 defeat to Manchester United in Santa Clara (California). The reigning European champions were unlucky with Luis Suárez hitting both posts in the first half, while Wayne Rooney handed the Red Devils the lead in the ninth minute. Jesse Lingard then made it 2-0 to the English side in the 64th minute with the Catalonians finally scoring through Rafinha who volleying home in the 90th minute. However Adnan Januzaj restored the two-goal margin with a strike right on the whistle to make it a 3-1. Barcelona take on Chelsea today, Tuesday, in Landover, Maryland.

Theo Wolcott is expected to renew his con­ tact

Arsenal forward Theo Walcott is getting "closer and closer" to signing a new contract, says manager Arsene Wenger. The 26-year-old England forward has a year remaining on his current deal. Walcott, who joined from Southampton in 2006 at the age of just 16, scored the winner as Arsenal defeated Wolfsburg 1-0 to win the Emirates Cup on Sunday. Arsenal have been linked with several including Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema, Manchester City's Edin Dzeko and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of Borussia Dortmund but Wenger has yet to strengthen his forward line. On Petr Cech's home debut after signing from Chelsea for £10m, he now has two pre-season trophies in two appearances after helping Arsenal win the Barclays Asia Trophy last week.

Meanwhile Midfielder Mesut Ozil can produce his best season since he joined the club, says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger. "Could this be his best season? Yes. He had a difficult start but slowly he has won over our fans," he said.

With just a month to go before the transfer window

closes, the rumour mill is starting to revolve ever faster.

Starting with the Premiership holders, apparently Chelsea will make their second bid for Everton defender John Stones, 21, within the next 48 hours, offering £24m after a £20m bid was rejected. Everton manager Roberto Martinez has refused to rule out making a move to sign Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk, with the Scottish club reportedly wanting £10m for the 24-year-old.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, 52, has said he is open to the possibility of playing Premier League matches in America after being impressed with the crowds the Blues have attracted during their pre-season tour. And the Portuguese has taken a dig at Chelsea's Premier League rivals Manchester United and Liverpool, saying they are trying to "buy the title". Montreal Impact have acquired the MLS rights to former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, 37, from Chicago Fire and are poised to sign the Ivorian.

Liverpool are battling Arsenal and Bayern Munich to sign one of the brightest prospects in European football Juventus' 19-year-old winger Kingsley Coman while Arsenal are in pole position to sign Juventus striker Fernando Llorente, 30, according to Tuttosport. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is understood to be ready to make an increased bid for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema after an initial offer of £31m was rejected for the 27-year-old.

Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 33, has committed his future to PSG amid speculation linking him with a move to Manchester United. Fabricio Coloccini is yet to play a single minute for Newcastle United in pre-season sparking talk that the 33-year-old defender is ready to quit St James' Park. Borussia Dortmund have approached Tottenham with a view to signing striker Roberto Soldado, 30, who reportedly wants to leave the north London club. Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny announced via Instagram that he will be joining Roma on Monday. The Pole recorded a video in the back of a car and took time to learn his presentation speech in Italian.

PFA boss Gordon Taylor, 70, is set to get a £2m-a-year pay rise which will see him earn more than the average Premier League footballer.

Real Madrid have rejected a formal offer of 120m euros (£84m) from PSG (although PSG have refuted this claim) for 30-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Middle Eastern newspaper Mlaib while Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal wants to add an extra cutting edge to his squad but thinks former player Ronaldo is out of reach. Rumour also has it, via Metro that United have already signed Ajax goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen, 26, and are waiting to announce it. Wales manager Chris Coleman believes his compatriot Gareth Bale, 26, will stay at Real Madrid despite reports linking him with a move to Manchester United.

And on Twitter: Bill Shankly won three league titles and two FA Cups with Liverpool. The letter former Liverpool boss Bill Shankly wrote to tender his resignation as Liverpool manager in 1974 has been posted on Twitter by ex-Liverpool striker John Aldridge. He tweeted: "This is Shanks' last letter before his resignation was accepted.

Liverpool FC's greatest employee. Still adore Shanks."
