'From The Prairie To Passchendaele" By Fred Knight.

(Adapted By Joy Lennick).

The former Director of the Foreign Residents Office in Torrevieja has a story to tell. It's that of his grandfather. Graham said: “Back in 1976, at the age of 83, with only one arm and the shakes of 'Parkinson's' in his 'good' hand, my grandfather, Fred Knight (1893-1982), decided he wanted to write his own story. He used a special apparatus attached to his head and an early electric typewriter. Having come into possession of the original manuscript, I felt that it should be published as he would have wished.

Well-known local author, Joy Lennick, has adapted Fred's autobiography into this book which reads like a novel. It is appropriate that the book was published on 11th November, Remembrance Day, and That Next Year, 2017, Marks The Centenary Of Passchendaele, one of the more famous battles of WW1. The book is available on Amazon (search 'Fred Knight').

A Spanish Tale of Two Hepburns

By Bob Yareham Two mythical maidens have made movies in Spain, and they both went by the name of Hepburn, although they were unrelated.

Katherine Hepburn, who out-acted Humphrey Bogart in the African Queen, played King Priam’s queen, Hecuba in The Trojan Women, released in 1971, and Audrey Hepburn, who entranced us all in My Fair Lady and Breakfast at Tiffany’s, was none other than Maid Marian in Richard Lester’s Robin and Marian, where she played alongside Sean Connery as an ageing Robin Hood, released five years later.

On our visit to Atienza my wife and I were fortunate to be invited into the house by Julián the owner. As his children played around in the garden, he pointed out that the lower half of the house

who like most of the inhabitants of his age was an extra in the film. His job was to stand upon the walls of Troy holding a spear.

was as it was when Hepburn lived there, although the top half had since been reformed.

We also met José Maria,

Unlike the distant Irene Papas, Katherine Hepburn apparently got on very well with the local people, who found her kind and friendly, especially with the children.

The film company hired two local people, both of whom had since died, to protect her delicate, pale skin from the scorching sun with umbrellas and parasols. Most of the filming in the village of Atienza took place near Hepburn’s house, around the old town walls, and at the spring, or drinking fountain known as ‘Fuente de San Gil.’ The fountain can be seen in early scenes when the Trojan women are herded out of the city, which is mostly seen from the outside as a series of

Part One: the Katherine An all-star cast of actresses such as Vanessa Redgrave, Katherine Hepburn and Irene Papas descended upon the ruins of Atienza in Guadalajara province, 80 miles north of Madrid, to recreate Greek tragedy. Local people were shocked by the fact that the film company were willing to pay as much as 100,000 pesetas a month to rent the house for Katherine Hepburn in front of San Salvador church, known as El Chalet.

Curiously, she was the only member of the crew to stay in the village, getting around on

The house in question used to be the old summer casino (not a den of gambling but a kind of social centre).

When Katherine Hepburn stayed there, it had recently been reformed by its new owners. She furnished the house herself and lived there with a young, uniformed butler, enjoying the two floors and garden.

Brian Blessed is the ‘good’ Greek, who is constantly bringing news from and sending captives to the ships at the beach, which we are supposed to believe is just down the hill. In reality, it is harder to be further from the coast than at Atienza. An interesting film if you enjoy much wailing and rending of garments, with Atienza as the true star. Although the tourist

Like many Spanish towns invaded by American film makers, Atienza benefited from its colonisers. Apart from the welcome money paid to extras, the producers brought electricity and phones to Atienza's old hospital and helped set up a school in the old Falange building. The castle of Atienza still dominates the Castillian plain where it stands, offering an unspoilt touch of medieval mystery that at least one film maker, Mihalis Kakogiannis, appreciated enough to do all the exteriors there, and where people still talk about “the film” without needing to mention the title. Part II next week.

‘Paellagate’ – Jamie Oliver and his chorizo Back in October Jamie Oliver caused uproar by daring to suggest people add chorizo to the classic Spanish dish of paella. The response was a flood of comments on Twitter, mostly from Spaniards who took a humorous dig at the celebrity chef for his hubris in daring to suggest an innovation for the classic dish.

As timing would have it, on Tuesday in Torrevieja thousands of people turned out to enjoy a plate of Paella with friends and visitors at an annual event.

By coincidence, last the British chef appeared on the BBC’s The Graham Norton Show, with the presenter inviting him to respond to some of the Spanish tweets that had appeared in response to his recipe. “You did one simple recipe and it caused an international incident. Turns out Spanish people are quite fussy about their food,” said Norton, who introduced the segment by referring to chef’s social media post that kicked off the controversy.

Oliver had tweeted: 'Good Spanish food doesn’t get much better than paella. My version combines chicken thighs & chorizo http://jamieol.com/3vClFD #recipeoftheday'.

lovely flavour.

Pour in 750ml of boiling water and add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Pop the lid on and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes, stirring regularly from the outside in and from the inside out, and adding a splash of water if needed.

Stir in the peas and prawns, replace the lid, and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until hot through.

Season to perfection, then chop the parsley leaves, scatter them over the paella, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over.

Want to know what all the fuss is about? Here is Jamie's Chicken & chorizo paella

Tips My advice here is simple – delicious as this dish is, if you’re feeling a bit flush, adding 6 mussels, 6 clams and any extra bits of fish you can afford is only going to make it even more of a celebration.

Jamie says: “My quick and easy recipe. Good Spanish food doesn’t get much better than paella.

My version combines juicy chicken thighs, smoky chorizo and prawns”. Serves 4, Cooks in 50 Minutes.

Ingredients 2 cloves of garlic 1 onion 1 carrot 15 g fresh flat-leaf parsley , (15g) 70 g quality chorizo 2 skinless, boneless higher-welfare chicken thighs olive oil 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika 1 red pepper 1 tablespoon tomato pure?e 1 organic chicken stock cube 300 g paella rice 100 g frozen peas 200 g frozen peeled cooked prawns , from sustainable sources 1 lemon

“They went medieval on me man. It was serious,” said the chef on the Friday night broadcast. “It trended for weeks. And I had death threats and all sorts because of a bit of sausage,” added Oliver, to the obvious surprise of fellow guests Christopher Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence, on a promotional tour for the movie Passengers. Even in Canada the controvery followed him. Jamie added: “As I went out of the British Airways lounge, they went ‘Oh, you’re in the paper today,’ and I went ‘Brilliant, good solid work,’ and she said: ‘Yeah. Chorizo: Spanish don’t like it.’ Whatever I did that month was overtaken by the chorizo.”

‘Paellagate’ – Jamie Oliver defends use of chorizo in classic Spanish dish The actress then took sides with the chef, saying: “Chorizo sounds delicious right now.” An unrepentant Oliver said: “By the way, just FYI, it tastes better with chorizo. Trust me or don’t trust me.” Either way you can find his recipes on YouTube or visit: https://twitter.com/jamieoliver.

Method Peel and finely slice the garlic, peel and roughly chop the onion and carrot. Finely chop the parsley stalks, then roughly chop the chorizo and chicken thighs.

Put a lug of oil into a large lidded shallow casserole or paella pan on a medium heat, add the garlic, onion, carrot, parsley stalks, chorizo, chicken and paprika, and fry for around 5 minutes, stirring regularly.

Deseed and chop the pepper, then add to the pan for a further 5 minutes.

Stir through the tomato purée and crumble in the stock cube, then add the rice and stir for a couple of minutes so it starts to suck up all that

About: Jamie Oliver started cooking at his parents' pub, the Cricketers, at the age of eight, and has gone on to work with some of the world's top chefs. He founded Fifteen restaurant in London and the associated charity, Fifteen Foundation, which trains disadvantaged young people to become chefs. There are now Fifteen restaurants in Cornwall, Amsterdam and Melbourne. Jamie has also launched a chain of high street restaurants in the UK called Jamie's Italian. Jamie writes for publications in the UK and around the world, including his own Jamie Magazine.

The Vega Baja is full of surprises

By David Hudson One of the first things that I did not understand when coming here in the 80s, was why there were Pirates in the Moors and Christians parades. The answer opened up a can of worms.

They were the Berber pirates from Morocco that plagued the Vega Baja area and were the first to fly the cross bones flag in the middle ages.

These pirates were brutal and not only boarded ships and raided the mainland they also held wealthy people to ransom. If the families did not pay they received the person's head.

Being muslim they are lumped together with muslims in the parades now. In 1708 Charles III paid the ransom to the Ermir of Tunis to release 300 Geonese slaves of the Sultan of Algeria. They were relocated to Alicante but due to riots by the inhabitants who did not want them, the King removed the pirates from the city and sent them to the island off Santa Pola: gaving them the island to live on. He named the island Tabarca after the prison that they were held in. The Geonese had privileges that included exemption from military service and taxes and were given boats, work materials and a school. In 1884 the population was 1,000 with hospital, church, police, priest and blacksmith. Now the population is between 15 and 100 depending on the season, as a result of Alicante refusing development of the island.

The Vega Baja triangle runs from San Pedro to Guardamar, up to Hondon de las Frailes and La Alguena with the Sierras of Orihuela, Callosa and Hurchillo. The Vega Baja is unique in the Costa Blanca for the reason that the people think of themselves as from Vega Baja, Alicante then Murcia but not Valencia. The reason is that Orihuela was the Capital of Alicante & Murcia under the Visigoths, Moors and Aragon kingdoms. It became the most important city in the south east of the Peninsular. It has been occupied by the Phonecians, Cartegenians, Romans, Visigoths and Muslims. It is said that if you just scrape the surface you will dig up history. A few years ago the Orihuela University was developing a new building complex when they came across 12th century Orihuela nesting at the foot of the Sierras. The answer was to excavate the site and build the complex on stilts so that you now can walk on the 12th century streets amongst the original buildings.

When Aragon was conquered Orihuela lost its status and in 18th century was only allowed to use Castilian Spanish as the language of the day. Even today the Valencian language stops at the border of Vega Baja. In the 16th century the Bishop Loaces created the Dominican Friars in Hondon de la Frailes (Friars) and between them they formed the Orihuela University that was the most prestigious in Spain covering the Arts, Law, Medicine, Theological and Canon Law. Following an epidemic in the 18th century that reduce the life span to 20 years due to the swamp lands the Cardenal Belluga commenced clearing the swamps using convict labour who were pardoned if they settled in the region.

The first areas were Dolores and San Fulgencio.

This cleaning produced a rich fertile land that created the Garden of Spain. The land gives a colourful fauna with numerous species of birds, kestrels and owls that swoop around my house at night with their loud screeches, Nightingales, Blackbirds, Coal tits, Green singers, Martins, Finches, Wagtails, Flamingos etc. There are Natural Parks and Salt Lakes in Torrevieja and La Mata, Mountain walks in Benejuzar & Albatera. Palm parks in Orihuela and San Isidro. The culture of Vega Baja covers many products and food with influences from all the invading cultures.

Towns that have “Al” or “Ben” were muslim settlements and have strong influences of Arab culture.

The Arabs introduced ceramics principally in Albatera, San Isidro and Catral.

Rope shoes, rope and basket making from reeds and grasses are made in Callosa and Redovan. The reeds are grown around Redovan and these were also used for roofs in the campo. An example can be seen on a roundabout in Orihuela.

Orihuela and San Miguel are the centre for Carpets and Tapestry that supply convents and churches.

Shops provide outfits for

communion, baptism, brides and religious wear.

Folklore music is very important part of the culture in this area especially Auroras of Callosa, Catral, Bigastro and Habaneros Torrevieja.

One friend of mine was in the International Brigade in the Spanish Civil War and he said that the Spanish were always singing even in the trenches. The music can be an orchestra, a band, a choir with or without impromptu instruments. It's worth seeking them out as it always is an experience. The local Fiestas are passionate and enjoyable and around our house we have firework displays every day to celebrate someone's fiesta.

Many municipalities celebrate “Romerias” and use their Ermitas and they have music, traditional meals and local foods. I've found that the best food in Valencia is south of Alicante and the nearer you get to Orihuela the better the food is, especially sweet things and stews, which may be the influence of the Arabs. Catral Romeria is the day of Santa Agueda with “Bolas of Santa Agueda” bags of turron and carmelos. Benejuzar has a famous Romeria of the Virgen del Pilar with singing Aragon songs and music dating back to when Orihuela was part of Aragon. In Rojales, Bigastro, Cox and Orihuela they celebrate Romeria day of San Isidro accompanied by country meals.

These local Fiestas sometimes have exhibitions of Historic cars, motorcycles and bicycles so it's worth a look. Mediaeval Fairs are worth a visit because they give an insight of the crafts and culture of centuries past. We must not forget Semana Santa Fiesta (Easter Holy week) which is rich in history especially Orihuela and Callosa.

Spain was 700 years under Muslim rule before being returned to Christianity and it is expected for christians to publicly declare their faith against the persecution of christians through the ages that makes this a passionate Festival.

The food on the costa is predominately fish and sea food with rice but further in to the countryside nearer Orihuela meat is included. Besides a Vega Baja Paella other dishes to try are Arroz con costra, Almojabenas, Arroz con conejo (rabbit), Olla gitana, Guisado de caracoles, Estafado (delicious stew), Cocido con pelotas, el Caldero, Cucurrones, Arroz de banda, Arroz de los tres punados, Sopas and Arroz a la hora. The sweet treats include Dulce de San Jose with bunuelos, pastelos de gloria and arabe sweets plus turron at Christmas. As a treat visit the Arab tea house near Albatera which is in the middle of the countryside where you can lounge on cushions and be served with sweet tea and very sweet treats under the midnight sky bursting with stars. I have only touched the surface on what the Vega Baja is. Why not get in your car and experience the real Spain.

Honduras Welcomes New Direct Flights from Europe Europeans looking for a quick Latin American adventure do not need to look any further as Air Europa announced a new direct fight from the Spanish capital of Madrid to the second largest Honduran city, San Pedro Sula. Now, waking up in the Plaza Mayor and falling asleep by the Puerto Cortés is even easier.

On November 21, Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández announced that starting in April of 2017, through the European airline, Air Europa, there will be one weekly flight from Madrid to San Pedro Sula.

The airline chose to begin flights in April and run them until October, just in time for Europe's high season for tourism. These new routes are set to increase European tourism for Honduras, while also encouraging more Hondurans to travel abroad.

This new route represents another step forward for economic development for Honduras, where the government has vowed

to continue investing in tourism as a part of its Economic Development Plan, Honduras 20/20. This project is said to create over 7000 jobs for Hondurans, while lowering costs for travellers. By increasing connectivity throughout Central America, Honduras' tourism initiatives seek to establish the country's position within a more integrated and globalized world. As of 2015, Honduras had some of the highest levels of connectivity with Spain in Central America with 27.2% and with Guatemala and El Salvador with 13.5% and 18% respectively, with hopes of increasing that number even higher after the new route takes place.

"This [new flight] means that we will have an open door to specific European destinations like, Barcelona, Bilbao, La Coruña, Vigo, Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza, Valencia, Alicante, Málaga, Tenerife, the Canary Islands, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Munich, Roma, Milan, Brussels, Amsterdam, Lisbon and Oporto, among other cities", declared President Hernández. Air Europa will use airbus A330-200 that holds 275 tourist class seats and 24 in first class.

As Honduras embarks on another journey to improve its global presence, the partnership between Air Europa and Honduras will aid in the country's mission of spreading its culture and people around the world, while remaining open to inquisitive foreign minds that hope to travel in order to learn about those qualities unique to Honduras.

Who is the Most Annoying Holiday Traveler?

Drunk, sick and talkative passengers lead the list The holiday season is traditionally that time of year when far-flung families gather together to reconnect with one another, exchange gifts and share in a holiday feast. According to the U.S. Travel Association1, visiting relatives was the leading reason for leisure travel in 2015, so it is no surprise that the holiday season is a hectic time of year for travel.

While most holiday travellers are in a festive spirit, there will invariably be some "bad apples" who, whether they mean to or not, can spoil an otherwise enjoyable travel experience.

Earlier this year, TravelocityÂŽ surveyed more than 1,500 people2 to find out which holiday traveler is the most annoying, and the three most mentioned culprits were: "The Oversharer": This passenger is excited to be going home to see family. Really excited. So excited that she feels the need to share stories about every single relative (from her third cousin Bessie to her oh-soadorable 2 year old nephew). And thanks to the magic of social media, she is able to spend the entire flight sharing pictures of all of them.

"The Just One More Egg Nog Guy": To this passenger, the holidays are about celebrating at 90 proof.

After celebrating the season at the bar, he stumbles into his aisle seat singing carols (while getting most of the lyrics wrong) and continually rings the call button throughout the flight for "just one more Jack and cola."

"Rudolph the Red Nosed Passenger": In his mission to get home in time for Christmas dinner, this passenger ignores the raging cold/flu that has transformed him into a mucus factory. Additionally, he is invariably seated in a middle seat so that he can share his "bounty" with as many people as possible.

In the process of determining the most annoying holiday traveler, Travelocity also found some helpful travel hints within the data: Passengers looking to switch seats to be closer to (or farther from) their traveling companions are best off asking a woman, as men are twice as likely to be annoyed by a "seat switcher." Flyers who have had a couple of "adult beverages" prior to boarding would be well-advised to

avoid millennials, as they are almost two times as likely to be annoyed by a "tipsy traveler."

Travelocity encourages travellers to "Wander Wisely™" and is dedicated to being the champion of the customer with its Customer 1st Guarantee, making the traveling

experience both simple and memorable with competitive prices, 24/7 customer service and more.

Based in Dallas, Texas, Travelocity is owned by Expedia, Inc., one of the world's leading travel companies, with an extensive brand portfolio that includes many of the world's leading online travel properties.

Ray's Rant: Is Death the End?

By Ray Kearne Recently I had dinner with some friends, among them was Irene, who I was meeting for the first time, she is a lovely lady in her 60’s who had recently been widowed. As we talked about some of the terrible events that happen in the world on a daily basis, she asked how God could let terrible things happen and then declared that she felt that death was the end and when we die, that is the end of us, we are finished.

I assumed that because she was from an Irish catholic background she would have believed in life after death.

Many have stopped attending church except for the obligatory christenings, marriages and funerals. Some are catholic, protestant or Christians in name only. I accept that millions do not go to church or disbelieve in churches in general but I was taken aback when she said that she didn’t believe in life after death, I do not see God and churches as the same.

Irene said that she felt we had a spirit but described it to me like an essence that is unrelated to the character and personality of the person who had died. Those who have seen the dead body of a loved one will testify that it is their body, but it is

not them. If she is right, and her belief is true, then this world is a very cruel place with no real purpose.

Our lives would be pointless and God would be worse than Satan. God would be cruel, heartless, uncaring and vicious at worst or at best he would not exist at all. There would be no reason to be kind or thoughtful; there would be no purpose to being a good husband, parent, individual or businessperson. This would be the motivation to take what you want, do what you like, walk on anyone who gets in your way and pursue any pleasure you wish without fear of consequences.

I don’t believe that Irene actually thinks or feels this way; I know that I certainly don’t. I believe that God is the father of our spirits in the same way that our earthly fathers are the fathers of our bodies. I believe that our spirits lived long before we had earthly bodies and our spirits will continue long after our bodies are dead.

I am absolutely positive that our personality, our sense of humor and our character, all reside in our spirits, not in our bodies, and that we will all live

forever. I love the words of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who said “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience”.

We cannot conclude that God does not exist because we are disillusioned with society, churches, governments and the apparent lack of humanity in the world. Someone living at the base of a volcano cannot blame God for his village being destroyed. Natural and man-made disasters in the world do not prove there is no God. In 76BC a wise prophet called Alma asked “What evidence have ye that there is no God?…….ye have none, save it be your word only…….all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator”. If there is a God, then there must be life before and after this mortal existence. You chose who is right, Irene or Alma.

Amazon unveils plans for grocery shop with no checkouts Amazon has revealed plans for a grocery shop without a checkout process, where customers will instead pay for the goods they have selected via an app.

The Just Walk Out shopping experience uses the same types of technologies found in self-driving cars. The system detects when items are taken or returned to shelves and tracks them in a virtual shopping trolley. Once the shopper leaves the store, their Amazon account will be charged and receipt sent to them. The first shop is expected to open to the public in Seattle in the US in early 2017.

Customers will swipe into the store using the Go app. It will use computer vision, sensors and deep learning algorithms to keep track of what customers are picking up off the shelves. Amazon has spent four years developing the shop. The shop will offer ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by on-site chefs or by local kitchens and bakeries. Grocery

essentials such as bread and milk will also be on sale alongside Amazon Meal Kits, with all the ingredients needed to make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.

Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. Hey have created the world’s most advanced shopping technology so you never have to wait in line. Their Just Walk Out Shopping experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout. Four years ago Amazon thought: what if we could create a shopping experience with no lines and no checkout? They wanted to push the boundaries of computer vision and machine learning to create a store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Amazon's answer to those questions is Amazon Go and Just Walk Out Shopping.

What can you buy at Amazon Go? For a start they are offering delicious ready-

to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by their on-site chefs and favourite local kitchens and bakeries. Their selection of grocery essentials ranges from staples like bread and milk to artisan cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll find well-known brands you love, plus special finds they say they are “excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chefdesigned Amazon Meal Kits, with all the ingredients you need to make a meal for two in about 30 minutes”. Their first trial store is located at 2131 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. Amazon already has physical book shops in the US. But some users feel the company has not quite got the retail experience right, saying it feels more like an "annex to a website".

This Day In Music: December 10th

By Keith Nicol 1949, Fats Domino recorded his first tracks for Imperial Records. One of those songs was called ‘The Fat Man’, which later became his nickname.

1959, The four male members of The Platters were acquitted of charges of aiding and abetting prostitution, lewdness and assignation after an incident on August 10th in Cincinnati. Despite the outcome of the trial, the scandal would severely damage the group's career.

1961, The Beatles appeared at Hambleton Hall, Huyton in Liverpool after returning to Liverpool from their first live performances in south England and London. The Beatles arrived so late for their appearance in Huyton that they only had time to play for 15 minutes. The promoters, having to pay The Beatles their full £15 were very unhappy.

1971, Playing the first of two nights at London's Rainbow Theatre, in England, Frank Zappa was pushed off stage by Trevor Howell, the jealous boyfriend of an audience member. Zappa fell onto the concrete-floored orchestra pit - the band thought Zappa had been killed. He suffered serious fractures, head trauma and injuries to his back, leg, and neck, as well as a crushed larynx, which ultimately caused his voice to drop a third after healing. This accident resulted in him using a wheelchair for an extended period, forcing him off the road for over half a year.

1966, The Beach Boys went to No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Good Vibrations', the group's third US No.1. As a child, his mother told him that dogs could pick up "vibrations" from people, so that the dog would bark at "bad vibrations" Wilson turned this into the general idea for the song.

Myths And Frequently Asked Questions About Diabetes From Diabetes UK Myths Knowing the facts about diabetes is important when it comes to managing the condition. There is so much information out there, but it is not all true. It is often difficult to know what is right and what is not. This section aims to help dispel some of the most common myths about diabetes – let's have a look at some of them...

Myth: Type 2 diabetes is a mild form of diabetes There is no such thing as mild diabetes. All diabetes is serious and, if not properly controlled, can lead to serious complications.

Myth: People with diabetes cannot have sugar Having diabetes does not mean you have to have a sugar-free diet. People with diabetes should follow a healthy balanced diet – that is low in fat, salt and sugar. You should still be able to enjoy a wide variety of foods, including some with sugar.

Myth: People with diabetes should eat 'diabetic' foods 'Diabetic' labelling tends to be used on sweets, biscuits and similar foods that are generally high in fat, especially saturated fat and calories. Diabetes UK does not recommend eating 'diabetic' foods, including diabetic chocolate, because they still affect your blood glucose levels, they are expensive and they can give you diarrhoea. So, if you are going to treat yourself, you should go for the real thing.

Myth: People with diabetes eventually go blind Although diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in people of working age in the UK, research has proved you can reduce your chances of developing diabetes complications – such as damage to your eyes – if you: control your blood pressure, glucose, and blood fat levels, keep active, maintain your ideal body weight, give up smoking.

Myth: People with diabetes can't play sport People with diabetes are encouraged to exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle. Keeping active can help reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes, such as heart disease. Steve Redgrave, Olympic gold medal-winning rower, has achieved great sporting achievements in spite of having diabetes. However, there may be some considerations to take into account before taking up a new exercise regime. Talk to your healthcare team for more information.

Myth: People with diabetes are more likely to get colds and other illnesses Not true. While there is some medical research that may suggest people with diabetes are at

higher risk of developing illnesses, there’s nothing to prove this conclusively. But there are certain illnesses that are more common in people with diabetes, and diabetes may also alter the course of an illness – for example, a person with diabetes may become more unwell or be unwell for longer than a person without diabetes.

Can I still travel if I have diabetes?

Of course. People with diabetes travel all over the world – you do not need to choose special holidays or curb your wander lust. The key is making the right preparations to minimise any potential problems and have an enjoyable safe trip.

Will I be able to get insurance?

Having diabetes can affect both existing policies and many new policies that you might choose. Tell your insurance company that you have diabetes because, if you don't, it may make your insurance invalid. Shop around for the best deal.

The Back Stage Interview with Tony Francis Artists Direct Spain went back stage for a chat with Tony Francis. Tony is currently about to undertake a marathon in his home country of Ireland raising money for charity in the process.

Tony describes himself as a ‘vocal entertainer’ and started in the business at the age of five, singing with his father and siblings. No stranger to the stage then. He thoroughly enjoys what he does and even if he were not an entertainer, he would

still be in the business, probably managing acts in some way. Tony cites his father as one of his biggest influences and he grew up listening to a wide range of artists and styles of music, all who have influenced in some way, too many to mention.

Tony says he gets an ‘exciting nervousness’ before a gig has never really suffered stage fright – the bigger the audience the better.

Starting in the business at the age of 5 must mean a plethora of choice when it comes to ‘ best moments’ we suggested and Tony says some of his best times were when he appeared in pantomimes with several celebrities including Bradley Walsh and Cannon and Ball. Surely the comedy entertainer coming out in him.

the crowd over and it all turned out OK. The comedian did eventually come on to do part of his act.

Acts often say that equipment failures are some of their worst moments and this is also the case with Tony. He remembers when the equipment failed during a show at the Weymouth Pavilion, with an audience of 500, so he had to ad-lib until the crew got the problem sorted.

Tony’s advice to anyone starting out in the business is to always be yourself, unless you are a tribute act of course! We asked him if he had any interesting little titbits he could share with us. With his alluring smile and clear blue eyes he related the story of when he arrived at a venue to perform with a top comedian, the comedian was due to go on first, but suffered a severe attack of stage fright and could not go on. Tony was asked to go on in his place, as a vocalist instead of comedian, you can imagine the response! But Tony managed to win

Tony is available to be booked direct via the Artists Direct- Spain website and is happy to travel anywhere from Costa Blanca North to Costa Calida.

After Hours at the HEN’S TEETH Tell us about yourselves My name is Steve and I am from Germany. My partner, Veronica, is Spanish. We have been at the Hen’s Teeth for 2 years. Before that we managed and worked in several restaurants and bars in the UK over a 13-year period.

Bulgaria, ably assisted by Sylvana from Bolivia, so you could describe the dishes as comfort food, made to our best abilities. We get excited about trying new things, and taking old favourites & make them special.

We aim for quality while providing value for money.

What made you open a bar/restaurant?

My answer to that is probably the same as a lot of other people. When you’ve managed someone else’s businesses for so long you tend to want to do the same for yourself.

What’s your favourite dish on the menu?

I’ll give you mine in detail as I love it so much. It is short rib Spanish pork shoulder with home-cooked chips and home-made barbecue sauce.

Veronica’s favourite is merluza de la marinera, a Basque Country dish made with hake. She is from Santander, Cantabria, which borders the Basque country.

Where did the inspiration for the name come from?

Your previous question was what made us open a bar/restaurant. We prefer to describe our place as bar/grill/tapas. Essentially we just are

a little bit different to every other establishment, meaning we don’t want a label that brackets us with everybody else. “As rare as hen’s teeth” is an old English saying that means something is unique and that is what we strive to be. The name is intriguing and definitely sticks with people!

Who does the cooking? And how would you describe your style?

Our head chef is Santi from

Favourite day of the week?

I love the nights that we have live entertainment. We are lucky enough to have some of the best bands on the Costa Blanca playing for us at the Hen’s Teeth on a fairly regular basis.

Veronica says she enjoys every day here, especially when there is a good atmosphere, which is pretty much every day. I would like to mention that we have a range of special cocktails and that we are sponsored by two of the leading drinks brands in Europe.

Any interesting tales?

Nothing unusual springs to mind as we speak but I would like this opportunity to mention our favourite band ‘The Streeters.’ We have them playing here regularly and we have come to regard Bryn, Austin, Sergio and Oscar as part of the family.

You can find out what the Hen’s Teeth have going every day of the week – see their menus at whatsoncostablanca.com or to book a table telephone 966 764 631

Peter Vaughan: Thrones and Porridge star dies at 93 British actor Peter Vaughan, best known for roles in Game of Thrones and Porridge, has died at the age of 93 as confirmed by the BBC. He played Maester Aemon in the HBO series and Grouty in the TV sitcom. His many other roles included parts in TV shows Citizen Smith, Chancer and Our Friends in the North. His agent Sally Long-Innes said: "This is to confirm that very sadly Peter Vaughan passed away at approximately 10.30 this morning (Tuesday).

He died peacefully with his family around him."

Vaughan began acting in the 1950s and became a recognisable face by playing numerous mainly supporting roles on stage, television, radio and film. He specialised in characters with a tough edge - such as police officers, secret agents and authoritarian elders.

His best-known parts included: The menacing villain Harry Grout in Porridge, which remained his most famous part, despite

the fact he only appeared in a handful of episodes: The strict father of Robert Lindsay's girlfriend in the first two series of another 1970s comedy, Citizen Smith: Town patriarch Tom Hedden in Straw Dogs, the controversial film made by Sam Peckinpah, whom Vaughan described as "one of the best directors ever": Felix, the dementiasuffering father of Christopher Eccleston's character in landmark TV drama Our Friends in the North, which earned him a Bafta nomination: The ageing butler William Stevens, the father of Anthony Hopkins's

character in Merchant Ivory's film The Remains of the Day: Jon Snow's blind, scholarly mentor Maester Aemon Targaryen in HBO's epic fantasy Game of Thrones: Vaughan played Bill Sikes in the BBC's Oliver Twist in 1962.

He appeared in many other period dramas, including 1985's Bleak House. In 1967, he received second billing opposite Frank Sinatra in the film The Naked Runner.

However, his performance was not well received by critics who accused him of overacting in his role as a British agent. He played Mr. Freeman in Karel Reisz's 1980

The French Lieutenant's Woman, the first star billing for Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons.

Vaughan described himself as a character actor, saying he did not have the looks to play romantic leads.

"If you're a character actor, you don't need to wait for the next leading role," he once said. "But if you are a leading man you have to wait for the next part. Sometimes that means long periods without work." He was never out of work for long, but Vaughan was not overly fond of only being recognised for Porridge. "It bores me rigid," he once said. "I only did about four episodes and the film but never has a role been written that has had more impact."

However Game of Thrones brought him a new level of fame with a younger audience at

the age of 86, and he remained in the show for five years. "I've been so lucky with parts," he told BBC Radio Surrey recently in one of his last interviews in November.

"They talk about actors resting. The only time I have ever rested in my 77 years as an actor has been when I've wanted to. Lucky, lucky, lucky."

Those paying tribute included Blackadder actor Tony Robinson, who wrote on Twitter: "An amazing actor. I'll never forget his performance in Our Friends in the North."

Meanwhile, actress Kathy Burke posted a photo of Vaughan with Ronnie Barker in Porridge alongside the words: "Beautiful Peter Vaughan." Vaughan was married to actress Billie Whitelaw for 14 years until 1966 and then married Lillias Walker. He was father-in-law of Gregor Fisher, the actor best known for playing comic character Rab C Nesbitt.

bring back one of our greatest and most popular music quiz shows for a very special Christmas treat.” Sohail Shah, Commissioner, BBC Entertainment says: "Pop Quiz was a musical highlight for viewers every week.

All I Want For Christmas Is You: Mariah Carey

By Keith Nicol

certification for sales of over 500,000.

This week on Song Facts we take you back to the year 1994 and a song that seems to chart again, year after year: Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'. This Motown-flavoured song has a simple message, Mariah Carey is not concerned about all the paraphernalia of Christmas - she just wants to be with her man.

There have been a huge amount of cover versions of this, including: Shania Twain (live performance, 1998), Olivia Olson (Love Actually: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, 2003), The Cheetah Girls (Cheetah-licious Christmas, 2005), Agnes Carlsson and Måns Zelmerlöw (2007), Miley Cyrus (live performance, 2007), Alexandra Burke (live performance, 2009), Lady Antebellum (A Merry Little Christmas, 2010), Michael Bublé (Christmas, 2011), Demi Lovato (live performance, 2012), Ariana Grande - (live performance, 2012) and Kylie Minogue and Mumford & Sons (live performance, 2015) to name but a few.

Latest news is that All I Want For Christmas Is You has returned to the UK Top 40 for a tenth consecutive year and maybe this could this be the year it goes all the way to Number 1... The festive classic is at Number 29 on this week's Top 40, climbing an impressive 43 places from the previous week. The track has since re-entered the Top 40 every year since 2007, shortly after downloads started counting towards the chart. Streaming plays a significant role in its resurgence this year, having been played 1.2 million times in the UK in the last seven days on services including Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer.

All I Want For Christmas Is You is one of 167 songs to have sold one million copies in the UK (not including streams). To date the track has spent 45 weeks in the Top 40, eight of which were in the Top 10. The last time the song entered the Top 10 was Christmas 2007, and it has (somewhat frustratingly) reached Number 11 twice since then. Will this be the year the classic reclaims a spot in the Top 10?

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" was not released as a commercial single, serving instead to drive sales of Mariah Carey's Merry Chirstmas album. On airplay, the song made No. 12 US when it was first released. It was re-released each of the next two years, making No, 35 both times and establishing a place on holiday playlists. In 1999, it returned to the chart at No.83. In the UK, the chart positions are even more impressive. It was prevented from being the 1994 Christmas No. 1 by "Stay Another Day" by East 17. Thanks to downloads, the song made No. 4

in 2007, No. 12 in 2008, No. 18 in 2009 and No. 22 in 2010. We can't declare it the most successful UK Christmas song of the modern era because "Do They Know It's Christmas?" has made No. 1 in some form three times since 1984.

The song was commercially successful, topping the charts in Hungary while reaching number two in Australia, Scotland, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom: Number three in Spain and Ireland plus the top 10 in several other countries. The Daily Telegraph hailed "All I Want for Christmas Is You" as the most popular and most played Christmas song of the decade in the United Kingdom. Rolling Stone ranked it fourth on its Greatest Rock and Roll Christmas Songs list, calling it a "holiday standard." In December 2015, the song peaked at 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it its highest peak since its original release.

With global sales of over 14 million copies, the song remains Carey's biggest international success and the 11th best-selling single of all time. As of 2013, the song was reported to have earned $50 million in royalties. In December 2006 this became the first ringtone to achieve an RIAA gold

In terms of airplay (at least in America), this is by far the most successful Christmas song written after 1963, when Bing Crosby recorded "Do You Hear What I Hear?." The most popular holiday songs on American radio were all written between 19341963, with "Sleigh Ride" (1948), usually the mostplayed.

This was co-written and co-produced by Carey and Walter Afanasieff. Afanasieff, who started off as Whitney Houston's arranger has co-produced and co-written many of Carey's hits including "One Sweet Day" and "Hero." He also won a 1999 Grammy award for co-producing Celene Dion's "My Heart Will Go On." Justin Bieber recorded a cover of this song for his 2011 Under the Mistletoe album. He originally cut the song in a lower range, before Carey suggested that they record it as a duet, with the Canadian teen star reverting his vocals to her original key.

However, Bieber's voice broke just before he hit the studio, which made it the hardest track on the album for him to record. "Yes, that was high," the Biebster told Billboard magazine. "But I grinded it out and we got it down."

Carey was married to Sony Music executive Tommy Mottola when this was released. In his book Hitmaker, Mottola claims that she initially balked at doing a Christmas album, since she thought it would damage her Hip-Hop credibility. When she saw the now-famous cover with her dressed in Santawear, she said: "What are you trying to do, turn me into Connie Francis?" As if we could...

Victoria and Albert Museum to display Tommy Cooper's fez A red fez hat worn by Tommy Cooper during his comedy routines is to go on display following an appeal by the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A). The Knightsbridge museum purchased the late comic's archive and "gag file" earlier this year, but had been unable to get his famous hat.

But a former advertising executive came to the rescue donating a fez he was given by Mr Cooper days before he died. It will be on display at the museum from 6 December.

According to legend, Tommy Cooper began wearing a fez when he lost his army-issue helmet while performing in Cairo during World War Two. Legend has it that he swiped a fez from a nearby waiter, put it on, got a laugh and kept it in the show.

In what may have been his only TV interview, he appeared without it; Michael Parkinson repeatedly asked him where it was, but Cooper evaded the question with an irrelevant story of how he'd lost £200 on a horse, punctuated with guttural sobs.

As part of the Ottoman military uniform, the fez was something of a liability as it was too easily aimed at by the enemy. Cooper discovered this during an early performance, when a belligerent crowd tried to knock his fez off with bread rolls. “Stop!” yelled Cooper, according to Eric Sykes in his book Comedy Heroes.

When one man asked why he should, Cooper said, “Because I haven't got an ad lib for people throwing bread rolls at my hat”.

The superstitious, Cooper is said never to have left the fez with its top down (“in case it trapped the spirits”). The last fez from his estate (made of burgundy wool) was sold at auction in November

2010 for the princely sum of £4,750; if you fancy seeing a bronze replica, it's sitting on top of the bronze statue of Cooper that overlooks Caerphilly Castle.

The V&A's hat was given to Hans van Rijs in 1984 while he was working on a Dutch Bassett's Winegums advertisement with the comedian.

"He gave me his fez to take back home with me, so that the special effects team could begin animating it," Mr van Rijs said. However, he said the the advert was never made as "he died a few days after we met".

The fez is looking a little worn with most of the tassel missing because Mr van Rijs cat liked to play with it, according to the museum.

Simon Sladen, senior curator of modern and contemporary performance at the V&A, said the hat and archive will "give visitors a fascinating insight into one the best-loved entertainers of the 20th Century." Tommy Cooper died in April 1984 after collapsing during a live TV broadcast at Her Majesty's Theatre, London. Most of the tassel is missing from the fez because it was attacked by the donator's cat. The fez will go on display with some other items from the Tommy Cooper archive.

Russell Howard joins Sky 1 for a brand-new show Russell Howard, one of the most successful comedians in the UK, will write and star in a new series for Sky 1. In a two-year deal, the new show will first air on Sky 1 next year after the comedian has completed his forthcoming standup world tour. Russell Howard said: “I am delighted to be making this new show for Sky. It’s obviously the best part of a year away but I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in.”

The series will sit alongside a strong line-up of award-winning entertainment shows for the whole family on Sky 1, including International Emmy-winning 50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy, Rose d’Orwinning game show Wild Things and BAFTA-winning A League of Their Own. Adam MacDonald, director of Sky 1, said: “Russell is brilliantly funny and I can't wait for his intelligent and incisive wit to be a big part of Sky 1. His new show with us will be

a fantastic mix of everything we love about Russell and lots of new inventive comedy. It will be an incredible addition to Sky 1.”

The 14-part weekly series will be filmed in front of a live studio audience and will be produced by Avalon Television. Russell Howard embarks on his second world tour in 2017, which sees 10 consecutive nights at the Royal Albert Hall in London, 17 further arena dates UKwide and 29 international cities including: New York, Wellington, Toronto, Gothenburg, Amsterdam, Sydney, Oslo, Washington DC, Chicago, Dublin, Helsinki, Vancouver, Reykjavik, Melbourne and San Francisco.

Alongside his TV appearances in the UK and internationally, Russell has a hugely popular YouTube channel.

Launched in 2014, it

allows fans to watch full episodes of Russell Howard’s Good News (without piracy) in countries where the show doesn’t broadcast, generating over 11 million views and watched in 180 countries (including North Korea and Vatican City). Russell is the most popular British comedian on Facebook with over 3 million fans and over one million followers on Twitter. The latest series of Russell Howard’s Good News saw many segments go viral, from a passionate backing of junior doctors and the NHS (7 million views, described by Huffington Post as, “incredible”), an interview destigmatising Tourettes (3.8 million views, described as, “uplifting and hilarious” by The Independent) and demonstrated the absurdity of the tampon tax (8 million views and Metro commenting, “Russell nailed how stupid the tampon tax actually is”).

2Awesome On ITV

ITV is set to launch 2Awesome, featuring new and exclusive programming for ITV2 and the ITV Hub, from one of the most successful youth content companies in the world, AwesomenessTV. 2Awesome marks a new partnership, which will see ITV broadcast exclusive UK premieres of the global youth brand’s award-winning long-form premium series as part of a two-hour ITV2 show on Sunday afternoons. Hosted by UK presenters from both TV and social media, 2Awesome will have a permanent home on the ITV Hub. 2Awesome will unveil UK premieres of some of AwesomenessTV’s most popular programmes, including dramas, comedies and docu-reality shows. It will launch on 8 January on ITV2 with Guidance, Side Effects, Third Wheel, LA Story and Arts Academy. In addition to the ITV2 zone, a selection of AwesomenessTV shows will also premiere exclusively on the ITV Hub starting on The X Factor finals weekend.

Available from 10 December, season one of T@gged is a psychological thriller that follows three teenage girls that become inexplicably connected after a series of violent videos are sent to them from an unknown user. Freakish and Foursome will follow T@gged as Hub exclusives, making it the first time that ITV’s on demand service will feature exclusive original series.

The partnership will also see AwesomenessTV and ITV Studios joining forces to co-produce scripted and unscripted programmes for ITV2, starting in 2017.

ITV Global Entertainment will license these newly co-produced shows in

international markets.

AwesomenessTV was founded by Brian Robbins, producer of Smallville and One Tree Hill, and has become a leading global youth brand creating new drama, comedy and entertainment series for platforms including Verizon, Netflix and Hulu, working with some of YouTube's most successful content creators.

Simon Pitts, Managing Director of Online, Pay TV and Interactive at ITV, said: “2Awesome is a really exciting development for ITV2 and the ITV Hub and the first step in our partnership with AwesomenessTV to produce, broadcast and distribute new shows for youth audiences. We can’t wait to launch our first exclusive series on the ITV Hub in December, followed in January by the initial 2Awesome run on ITV2 featuring new presenters and a whole slate of new shows, with plenty more to come throughout the year.”

Brian Robbins, Founder and CEO, AwesomenessTV added: “Our partnership with ITV is a wonderful opportunity to not only distribute our content but also create it together and extend our brand further in the UK. I am looking forward to the launch of our series on the ITV platforms and continuing to grow the reach of our global audience.”

Requirements For Spanish Nationality By Residence

By Andreu & Alenda Solicitors

Are you interested in becoming a Spanish National? If so, we at Andreu & Alenda Solicitors can help. Article 22 of the Spanish Civil Code provides that "For the granting of nationality by residency it is required that you have held residency for 10 years. The period of 5 years shall be sufficient for those who have obtained a refugee status and 2 years for nationals from Ibero-American, Andorra, Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, Portugal or from Sephardic origins."

However, one year residence period will be enough for: A) Anyone born in Spanish territory.

B) Any person who has not exercised the right to opt-in due course.

C) Any person who has been legally subject to the guardianship, custody or care of a Spanish citizen or institution for two consecutive years, even if they continue in this situation at the time of the request.

D) If at the time of the application, has been married for at least one year to Spanish and is not separated legally or in fact.

E) The widow of an Spanish citizen, if at the death of the spouse/husband they were not separated legally.

F) Those born outside Spain, whose father, mother, grandfather or grandmother, would have

Bicycle Accidents In Urban Areas

accident: as explained in our previous article about car accidents.

By Andreu & Alenda Lawyers

There are many people who use this as their daily means of transport: the bicycle. Unfortunately, there are a large number of cyclists who have occasionally suffered an accident. Most accidents are caused by collisions with cars and through reckless driving behaviour. In addition to this, drivers have to cope with other distractions and lack of the habit when traveling beside bicycles.

Andreu & Alenda Solicitors remind victims who have suffered from an altercation with a vehicle that you have the same rights as any citizen involved in an accident and you are able to claim compensation for any damages suffered.

It is important to fill out the amicable accidents form (the same as for car accidents) with all the relevant identification details of the other driver in order to claim compensation for damages.

Any damages suffered can be financially compensated for, which include all medical costs and compensation in case of not being able to work.

The greatest risk of an accident on the bike is while commuting back and forth to work. According to the Barometer 2015 European Cycling Federation, Spain is ranked 18th in the ranking of European countries most concerned of integrating bike paths, among other issues. The calculation of compensation for an accident while cycling is performed using the same scale as for calculating compensation for a traffic accident with any other vehicle.

Head injuries are the most common injuries suffered by victims suffer during an accident, while cycling in town. Other common injuries such as burns and lesions from landing on the asphalt are also subject to compensation. You should not forget that the first 72 hours are crucial in order to claim compensation for traffic

But we must all drive/cycle carefully.

Common sense, caution and prudence by all users of public roads, including cyclists, can help to avoid many accidents. Andreu & Alenda Lawyers are pleased to help you through this procedure. Please contact us calling 966 927 799 or by email: legalservice@andreualenda.com. We are based in Torrevieja but cover all the Spanish Courts throughout Spain.

Seattle 'thief' caught by remote car door lock An alleged car thief was arrested after he was remotely locked inside a stolen vehicle. Seattle Police Department has revealed a suspect was captured after the BMW was traced and the car maker locked its doors remotely.

The man was found asleep in the BMW 5 Series, parked in an alley with the engine running. The car was taken after a key fob was mistakenly left inside it. Technology installed in the car meant the 38year-old man could be detained as police approached. The suspect attempted to drive away when officers from the Seattle Police Department woke him up, but he was unsuccessful.

According to the police department's report of the incident the car's owner got married the day before the theft. A friend had borrowed the car and accidentally left the key fob inside. Owners of newer models of BMW's can use the ConnectedDrive app for a variety of functions, including unlocking their vehicle remotely. The app is also designed to track the cars in case of an emergency. It knows how many occupants are in the car and can contact emergency services if it is involved in a crash, providing an exact GPS location.

A spokesman for the company confirmed people inside BMW cars can always open the doors from inside, whether or not it is locked remotely. The key to the world of BMW ConnectedDrive is the ConnectedDrive Services special equipment option. It offers a wide range of intelligent services and apps that provide you with information and entertainment during your journey. This option enables you to link up with everything that is important to you.

You can also book other optional services and apps from BMW ConnectedDrive such as Concierge Services, Internet or Real Time Traffic Information.

With the ConnectedDrive Services special equipment option, you not only obtain numerous services but above all the innovative A4A (Apps for Automotive) technology by BMW. This enables you to use many smartphone applications in your

vehicle and in comfort via the operating concept of your BMW. This way you can experience new features every day: embark on a voyage of discovery, obtain tips on your journey, take your office into your vehicle with you or enjoy entertainment in your BMW.

Open Communication On The Open Road

By Keith Nicol After months of development and testing, Tread, a new automotivefocused social network, has launched its website and mobile app to the public. The proprietary social platform allows for two-way communication between any vehicles on the road using license plates as the primary identifier.

"This is the first ever social network that allows for messaging through a license plate number," proclaimed Jason Bosnak, Founder of Tread, LLC. "We're launching with a mobile app and website that are entirely free for users - with intentions to only ever charge advertisers."

The social networking scene within the automotive niche had been virtually nonexistent before Tread's arrival. Enthusiasts previously relied on Facebook pages and other online forums to discuss automotiverelated topics; however, these forums are generally limited to just one make and model per website. Tread seeks to create an automotive social network that spans across all makes and models with dual mobile and web connectivity. Utilising license plate numbers as the primary communication engine, the platform becomes more centralized on the user and their vehicle and is therefore able to provide vastly more functionality.

Auto enthusiasts can create a username, profiles for each of their vehicles, and share them in their

virtual garage. They also have the ability to message other vehicles through the Tread mobile app or website - sharing pictures, videos, and other info even with vehicles they aren't familiar with. On the mobile front, the network is only available through iOS at the current time; however, their plans include rolling out an Android version in the near future.

Bosnak added: "After the recent successful website relaunch and app release, we're excited to see Tread's potential in terms of both user growth and future feature additions."

Tread is currently available for download for any type of user - from the true auto enthusiast to the everyday driver - through the Apple App Store. More information about the network and its functional capabilities can be found at the Tread website: https://tread.cc.

iStand 7 Combines Dock, 3.5mm Headphone Jack into This Slim Battery Case are great innovators and in the future who knows, maybe all devices will become like this, but the truth is I love my headphones and I know I am not alone."

From Keith Nicol China-based startup Yostand (meaning 'your stand'), announces on December 6 the launch of its Indigogo campaign for their newly awaited iStand7. This gadget is a one of a kind iPhone battery case that offers a plethora of features. It is designed specifically for the iPhone 6 and 7 (excluding 6 plus).

This updated iStand is a portable dock that comes with a wireless charger, MFi charger, headphone adaptor along with abilities to position your phone vertically or horizontally. With this state of the art smart display, users get the full iPhone experience while staying hooked up with the latest features. iStand7 Gives you Options: iStand7 is a portable dock, MFi charger, 3.5mm headphone adapter, wireless charger & a handy stand: iStand7 is a portable dock, MFi charger, 3.5mm headphone adapter, wireless charger & a handy stand: iStand7, as the name suggests, comprises a handy desktop stand for your phone as well as an additional rechargeable 3000mAh powerbank which extends your battery life by a third and the case also includes an optional 3.5mm headphone adapter and MFi wireless charging.

Yostand CEO George Jiang said, "We don't want to know what goes in your ears. That's a personal choice and we decided to give you back the choice." By restoring the optional 3.5 mm headphone jack, users can choose from any type of ear/headphones. The iStand7 doesn't want to limit your listening abilities.

Also, this iPhone 7 gadget exclusively lets you charge your phone and listen to music at the same time! This feature is unavailable from outside competitors. "When we first heard that Apple was releasing the iPhone 7 without a headphone socket we knew we had to do something. Apple

Fake news detector plug-in developed If you read it, see it on TV, Google it or Facebook it, it must be true: right? Well maybe not because as hundreds of fake stories and scams and fake people abound on the likes of Facebook, one of those who had doubts that Facebook was dealing with the matter was Technologist Daniel Sieradski, who has developed a plug-in - known as BS Detector that flags up "questionable" websites on Facebook and Twitter. Not impressed that their millions of dollars they have for research and development, it appears Facebook is currently blocking links to the site.

BS Detector is a plug-in that uses a list of fake news sources as its reference point. It can be added to Chrome and Mozilla browsers and when it spots a potentially false story, flags it with a red banner reading: "This website is considered a questionable source." It was created, Mr Sieradski said, "in about an hour" as a "rejoinder to Mark Zuckerberg's dubious claims that Facebook is unable to substantively address the proliferation of fake news on its platform". It has had over 25,000 installs since launch. "I

and other open source contributors have spent many more hours improving its functionality," Mr Sieradski told the BBC. What is fake news asked the BBC? One such case was that website TechCrunch mistakenly reported that the plug-in was a new Facebook feature, leading Mr Sieradski to tweet about it. Since that article was published, Facebook appears to have blocked anyone from posting a link to the BS Detector website. "Facebook now provides a security warning and disallows you to do so," Mr Sieradski told the BBC. Facebook said that it was "looking into the matter".

He said that the firm was doing more to allow people to report stories as fake as well as directing people to fact-checking organisations, adding: "We are exploring labelling stories that have been flagged as false by third parties or our community, and showing warnings when people read or share them." He also announced plans to stop fake news organisations from making money by cutting off their advertising funding.

iStand7 comes with an additional battery of over 3000mAh in power. This translates into keeping your phone on for 3 times the average length.

There is also an optional wireless charger and the choice of Qi compatibility. But if you don't need the fancy stuff, it comes with a standard lightning port for basic charging needs. The durable impactresistant material protects the phone from wear and tear while using a raised bezel to absorb contact. So not only is it your phone's personal body guard but lets you choose how to place your phone for optimal viewing pleasure.

This dock is perfect for facetiming, streaming videos, messaging and

capturing live/photo imaging.

With average prices from competitors around $80 for similar products, Yostand wanted to keep this device affordable so it would be readily available for the average user. iStand7 is budget-friendly with the basic version priced at $39 for early contributors. The iStand7 Audio comes with an additional 3.5mm headphone socket for $54 and the iStand7 Pro has the additional MFi wireless charger for $79. They are aiming to meet their fixed goal of $6,000 and plan to start shipping out stands to contributors early next year. If you're ready to improve your iPhone experience, contribute to their campaign by clicking here now!

The Yostand team has worked in accessory design for 10 years. The iStand7 is the third and newest version of a design they originally launched in 2012 for the iPhone 5.With thousands of positive reviews and feedback from their loyal users, they've updated the design and gave users more features to choose from. Jiang gives credit to his great team of designers: George, Joy and Diven.

Seat Unleashes Leon Cupra 300 – Its Most Powerful Road Car Ever

mode. This mode is the ultimate in hot hatch performance and takes the driving experience to another level. Pricing, specification and full technical information for the Leon CUPRA 300 range will be confirmed shortly ahead of order books opening ahead of its March 2017 showroom launch.

The Leon CUPRA has always stood out for its scintillating performance, striking design and alluring price and quality. All of these have now been taken to the next level with the launch of the Leon CUPRA 300 range, which hits UK showrooms in March. It’s not just about power either. The new Leon flagship, available in three bodystyles; SC, five-door and ST, also offers a highly rewarding driving experience and the safest, most reliable, functional and advanced technology.

Among its features are driver assistance systems such as Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control and Pedestrian Protection, plus, Electric Parking Brake and KESSY (Keyless Entry and Start). The integrated Media System Plus infotainment system with its eight-inch screen is the highlight of the new-generation, and, is the very first time that the Leon CUPRA has a Connectivity Hub that comprises a smartphone wireless charger and a GSM antenna amplifier for areas with low signal coverage.

With its newly uprated 2.0 TSI engine putting out 300PS, the new Leon CUPRA is its most powerful roadcar yet. The figures related to this achievement in engine power deserve a special mention. Not only is the engine 10PS more powerful than before (up from 290 to 300), but, more importantly, it’s maximum torque has increased from 350Nm to no less than 380Nm, across an impressive range too, from 1800 to 5500 rpm. With such a wide band, the

result is a convincing and powerful response, from the engine barely ticking over, all the way up to hitting the rev limiter. Harking back to its roots with the 2000 launch of the Leon CUPRA with all-wheeldrive, the SEAT Leon CUPRA 300 will also now boast a similar set-up, with 4Drive traction on the ST version, allied to a double-clutch automatic gearbox (DSG).

To get the most out of such a potent machine, the Leon CUPRA also comes with dynamic chassis control (DCC), a progressive steering system and electronic self-locking differential as standard. The dynamic qualities of the CUPRA can be adapted to the drivers’ tastes thanks to CUPRA Drive Profile too. There are four modes to choose from Comfort, Sport, Individual and logically, CUPRA

Maserati: Car Number 100,000

Last Monday, at the Avv. Giovanni Agnelli Plant (AGAP) where the Ghibli sports saloon and the Quattroporte flagship saloon are built, celebrations were held to mark the production of the 100,000th car. It was a white Quattroporte Model Year 2017, equipped with the 350 horsepower 3.0 litre V6 Twin-Turbo engine built by Ferrari. This special Quattroporte is destined for China, a strategic market for Maserati and of primary importance for the Brand's flagship saloon car.

Alfredo Altavilla, FCA Chief Operating Officer for the EMEA Region, thanked everyone working at AGAP, whose dedication has made this plant a centre of excellence not only within the Maserati production organisation but for the entire FCA group. “The Maserati brand's impressive growth during the last few years has been one of the

major developments at the Premium end of the market; the sixth generation of the Maserati saloon, developed here at Grugliasco, is the best-selling Quattroporte of all time and almost 70,000 units of the Ghibli, built here, have now left the production line, meaning that in little more than three years it has become the most successful Maserati of all time," Alfredo Altavilla commented.

"With the Levante, the Brand has now moved into the SUV segment and the

‘Maserati spirit’ has also reached the Mirafiori plant, where the Levante is produced. The men and women who work here at the Avv. Giovanni Agnelli Plant at Grugliasco are already well aware of this," Mr Altavilla added, "because many of them mentored their Mirafiori colleagues during the production launch and buildup phases for the new Levante SUV, acting as ambassadors for the Brand's craftsman-like care and attention to detail.”

As well as the AGAP, Grugliasco and Mirafiori, Turin plants, Maserati has a third production location at its historic headquarters on Viale Ciro Menotti in Modena, where the GranTurismo and GranCabrio sports cars are built. Today, Maserati is a genuine Italian

icon: a symbol of creativity, passion, innovation and style, values all reflected in the range. Thanks to a unique blend of craftsmanship, technology and obsessive attention to detail, it produces cars that never fail to thrill and inspire. With the range-completing Levante SUV, alongside the new Quattroporte, the Ghibli, the GranTurismo and the GranCabrio, Maserati now covers every sector of the global luxury car market.

Officine Alfieri Maserati was founded on December 1st, 1914 in Bologna, Italy.

Since then, Maserati has played a consistently important role in the history of sports car culture and its development. Every Maserati is like a work of art, its perfection expressing the marque’s proud history.

Celebrating over 100 years of unmistakable styling and technological innovation, Maserati is a company in rapid expansion.

With presence in 65 markets worldwide, its role is clearly confirmed as an international ambassador of Italian excellence.

Forgotten Women Hero’s of Formula One

By Nigel Owen There have been only five Formula One women drivers since the inception of the Formula One World Championship for Drivers in 1950. Five women racing drivers have entered at least one Grand Prix, although only two of them ever qualified and started a race. The woman who competed in the most Grand Prix and was the first and only to score points was Lella Lombardi, with 17 entries and 12 starts.

Maria Teresa de Filippis (11 November 1926 – 8 January 2016) was an Italian racing driver, and the first woman to race in Formula One. She participated in five World Championship Grand Prix in

to qualify at least for a Formula One race (the other being compatriot Maria Teresa de Filippis) and the only driver with that career total.

After performing well in Formula Three and Formula 5000 in the early 1970s, Lombardi entered Formula One in 1974 with an old privately entered Brabham. In 1975 she joined March and raced the full season. She then had a one-off drive for Williams before a short-lived and unsuccessful partnership with RAM Racing.

Divina Galica MBE (born 13 August 1944) is an English sportswoman. She competed in four Winter Olympics as a skier, was captain of the British Women’s Olympic Ski

Maria Teresa de Filippis the Maserati 250 F and the Behra-Porsche RSK debuting on 18 May 1958, but scored no championship points.

Though largely unsuccessful in her Formula One racing career, she won races in other series and is remembered as a pioneer in the sport.

Lella Lombardi (26 March 1941 – 3 March 1992) born in Frugarolo, Piedmont, Italy she participated in 17 Formula One World Championship Grand Prix, debuting on 20 July 1974.

She is the only female Formula One driver in history to have a top six finish in a World Championship race, at the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix.

Half points were awarded for this race due to a shortened race distance; hence Lombardi received half a point instead of the usual one point. As well as being the sole female driver to score points in Formula One, she is one of the two who managed

Team in 1968 and 1972. She also pursued a career in motorsport; entering three Formula One World Championship Grand Prix from 1976 to 1978 driving a Surtees, McLaren and March.

Accepting an invitation to a celebrity auto race, Galica surprised everyone with her driving talent. She eventually took up motorsport as a second career, initially racing

karts, moving into Formula Two and Formula One before finding success in sports cars and trucks. Her racing career has included stints in Formula Renault and Formula Vauxhall Lotus. Galica was taken under the wings of John Webb and Nick Whiting, who entered her in the British Shellsport International Group 8 series in 1976, driving a Surtees TS16 Formula One car. After promising showings in this domestic series, Whiting decided to enter Galica for that year's British Grand Prix, using their Surtees. This appearance was notable as the first time in 13 years that a car had been entered for a World Championship Grand Prix using the supposedly unlucky number 13; so it also proved for Galica, as she failed to qualify for the race.

The appearance meant she also joined a select band of seven Formula One drivers who have also competed in the Olympics Desiré Wilson (born 26 November 1953) is a former racing driver from South Africa and one of only five women to have competed in Formula One. Born in Brakpan she entered one Formula One World Championship Grand Prix in 1980 with a non-works RAM Racing-prepared Williams FW07, but failed to qualify.

She also raced in the 1981 non-world championship South African Grand Prix in a one off deal with Tyrrell Racing. She became the only woman to win a Formula One race of any kind when she won at Brands Hatch in the short-lived British Aurora F1 series in 1980. As a result of this achievement, she has a grandstand at Brands Hatch named after her.

Lella Lombardi

Giovanna Amati

Giovanna Amati (born 20 July 1959) is a former professional racing driver from Italy. She is the last female driver to have entered the Formula One World Championship. Amati signed with the Brabham team in January 1992 to partner Eric van de Poele after the team was unable to sign Japanese F3000 driver Akihiko Nakaya because he was not granted a super licence. The announcement of a female driver gained publicity for the Brabham team. Before the first round in South Africa, Amati had little experience in driving Formula One car. In South Africa, Amati's inexperience showed on the track after spinning six times during practice. During qualifying, she was unable to qualify after setting a time that was nine seconds slower than pole sitter Nigel Mansell and four seconds slower than team-mate Van de Poele. At Mexico, Amati had failed to qualify for the second

consecutive race having set a time more than 10 seconds slower than Mansell. In Brazil, Amati once again failed to qualify for the race having a time 11 seconds slower than Mansell. Soon after the race, Amati was sacked by Brabham and was replaced

by Damon Hill.

Women Test Drivers In 2014, Susie Wolff (GB) was the first woman to take part in a Formula One race weekend in 22 years, at the British Grand Prix, at Silverstone. She became the first woman to participate in a Formula One weekend since 1992, when Giovanna Amati made three unsuccessful Grand Prix qualification attempts. Other women F1 test drivers were Sarah Fisher (USA) Team McLaren, Katherine Legge (GB) Team Minardi, María de Villota (ESP) Team Marussia, until her crash in 2012 and death the following year.

Simona de Silvestro (CH) Team Sauber and Carmen Jordá (ESP) Team Lotus.

Football y Fútbol Compiled by Keith Nicol

Chapecoense plane crash: Team awarded Copa Sudamericana Brazilian club Chapecoense have been awarded the Copa Sudamericana by South American football confederation Conmebol after most of their team died in a plane crash en route to the final. Seventy-one people, including 19 players and staff, were killed in the crash on the way to Colombia for the first leg. Colombian opponents Atletico Nacional, who asked for Chapecoense to be awarded the trophy, have been given a Fair Play award to acknowledge their "spirit of peace, understanding and fair play". Chapecoense will be given the $2m (£1.57m) in prize money while Atletico Nacional will receive $1m (£787,000).

Chapecoense vice-president Ivan Tozzo hailed the decision as "justice", telling a news conference on Monday: "We were sure that 'Chape' would be champions. It is a beautiful tribute."

World Cup finals format: Three-team groups & 48 finalists in Gianni Infantino plan Future World Cup finals will feature 16 groups of three countries in a 48-team tournament, if Fifa president Gianni Infantino gets his wish. Infantino, who became head of Fifa in February, previously spoke of expanding the World Cup from 32 teams

to 40. Under his favoured 16-group structure the top two teams would progress to the last 32 and ongoing knockout matches. A decision will be made in January but any change would not be likely to take effect before the 2026 World Cup. The number of teams competing at a World Cup last increased in 1998 when the tournament expanded from 24 to 32 countries. Uefa's Euro 2016 tournament featured 24 nations, an increase from the 16-team format in place since 1996.

Brazil's leading football clubs have pledged to loan players to Chapecoense for free and asked for them to be safeguarded from relegation from the top flight for the next three seasons. As Sudamericana champions, Chapecoense get a guaranteed spot in next year's Copa Libertadores, South America's equivalent of the Champions League. It also means that Chapecoense will face Atletico Nacional - the defending Copa Libertadores champions - in a two-game series next year between the continent's two club champions. Former Brazil and Barcelona forward Ronaldinho and ex-Argentina international Juan Roman Riquelme have reportedly offered to play for the club, while another former Barca player, Eidur Gudjohnsen, has offered his services. Brazil will play Colombia in a friendly match at the end of January to help victims of the air crash.

Barcelona invite Chapecoense to play friendly in 2017 Barcelona have invited Brazilian club Chapecoense to play them in a pre-season friendly next summer.

The friendly would be for the Joan Gamper trophy, which is an annual match between Barcelona and an invited team. Barcelona said they wanted to make the Joan Gamper trophy "a great tribute to the world of football through various activities around this match". "Along with the invitation to Chapecoense to the 2017 Joan Gamper Trophy, Barcelona would like to collaborate on the institutional and sporting reconstruction of the club, and help to recover the competitive level that it had," they added.

Video replays: Referees to use pitch-side monitors at Fifa's Club World Cup Referees will be able to use a pitch-side monitor for the first time to review decisions when the Club World Cup begins in Japan on Thursday. Video assistant referees will review "match-changing" situations before informing the on-field official. The referee will then be able to view footage for some decisions - something not permitted in previous trials. Fifa's chief of technical development Marco van Basten said the move "represents a big step forward". The Club World Cup, which features champion club sides from each of Fifa's six continental confederations, plus the domestic champions from the host nation, begins in Yokohama with Kashima Antlers taking on Auckland City. Europe's representatives Real Madrid play their first fixture on 15 December.

Bonnyrigg Rose East Super League junior outfit Bonnyrigg Rose were the thorn in Dumbarton's side on Tuesday,

winning 1-0 in a Scottish Cup third round replay. It's only gone and set up a fourth-round tie against cup holders and local rivals Hibernian. The 'Rosey Posey' hope the tie can be moved to Tynecastle, but in the meantime here's a little trivia you might not know about the Midlothian club.

Sir Sean Connery Sean Connery played for Bonnyrigg Rose in the 1950s The Edinburgh-born actor, now 86, spent a couple of seasons with the Midlothian club in the early 1950s when he was in his twenties. However Connery is not remembered for lighting up junior football stadiums across the central belt of Scotland. But there was one reference in the Dalkeith Advertiser from 1951 that described him scoring "with a 30-yard shot in a 3-1 defeat by Broxburn Athletic". Other notable former players include Pat Stanton (Hibs) and John White (Tottenham). As always with junior or part-time teams, there are a wide range of day jobs among the Bonnyrigg Rose squad. That's the reality of minor league football. If you need any steel fabricated, then Dean Hoskins is your man. Their goal hero against Dumbarton, Adam Nelson, is a custody officer. Star striker Keiran McGachie is a leisure centre manager. Right-back Alan Horne is a laboratory technician. Centre-back Dean Hoskins is a steel fabricator. And goalkeeper Michael Andrews is a media sales executive.

Torre Take The Points It took us a long time, but with the conclusion of the review bodies, Torrevieja were returned the three points that they won against Almoradi and by drawing with Recambios Colon, they moved out of the bottom four relegation places. During Sunday's 0-0 draw with Recambios Colón on an awful evening of rain and wind, Buba made some excellent stops and our new look defence held strong in order for us to secure the point. However they were without a number of key players through injury, Dani Salazar, Pastor and Hugo Salamanca. So all in all, it was a decent result on a dreadful day.

On Thursday Crevillente beat Torreveja 3-2.

Torrevieja now have 16 points entering game 20 of the season. They remain just outside of the relegation zone on 16 points with everything to play for. On their heels with 15 points are Almoradí and Buñol, who drew on Thursday. On Sunday CD Torrevieja are at home to Paterna CF on Day 20 in Group VI at the Nelson Mandela Stadium. Kick off is at 5.00pm.

Generous Montesinos On Sunday 11th December 2016, at 4.15pm, CD Montesinos play against Deportive Orihuela CF "A", at Los Montesinos. During the half-time break at about 5.00pm, the CD Montesinos Supporter's Club, "The Full Monte", will be making their annual donation of a substantial amount of groceries to Caritas. The groceries will be handed over to a representative of the Social Services at Los Montesinos. CD Montesinos are now third and in the promotion race.
