whats news
Did you know that..? Schools are being urged to hold lessons in body confidence as a new survey reveals that one in four Britons is depressed by their appearance. A new project called Be Real aims to tackle the issue which campaigners say is trapping millions of people in the UK in an unhealthy cycle of depression, short-term dieting, cosmetic intervention and eating disorders. Daily Express The Star Wars character of Chewbacca was inspired by director George Lucas’ big, hairy Alaskan malamute dog Indiana - who would always sit in the passenger seat of his car like a co-pilot. The dog was also the inspiration behind the name of one of Lucas’ other creations, Indiana Jones. BBC A recent study of 188 countries found that more than half the planet’s 671 million obese people live in just ten countries – with one in ten of them living in the United States, where a third of adults are obese. The UK did not make the top ten. The Independent Trick-or-treating is believed to have stemmed from the superstition that ghosts could disguise themselves in human form and knock on doors to ask for money or food. If they were denied, the spirit could then curse or haunt the person who refused. New York Times Facebook now has as many users as there are people in China. The social network giant announced the statistic as it revealed that profits nearly doubled to more than $1bn. 8
www.webexpressguide.com
The number of users checking into Facebook at least once a month has risen by 14% to 1.35bn in the third quarter. However, it warned that spending will increase sharply next year and its revenue growth will slow in the fourth quarter. The Guardian Contrary to myth, Michelangelo did not spend four years lying on his back painting the ceiling of the Sisteen Chapel, but was stood up on a platform he designed himself. He initially did not want to take on the project as he considered himself to be a sculptor and not a painter. Daily Telegraph More than 700 passengers from 58 countries have already booked a flight on Virgin Galactic at a cost of £150,000 per ticket. Top Gear Scientists have found that a 10-second kiss can transfer as many as 80 million different types of bacteria. It was already known the mouth is home to 700 million different types of bug. Now, the new report by Dutch researchers reveals how some are more easily exchanged than others. The Times Australian actor and “Thor” avenger Chris Hemsworth is the world’s sexiest man, according to the U.S. magazine People. Past choices of the magazine, which began handing out the accolade in a 1985 cover story on fellow Australian Mel Gibson, have ranged in age from 27, with John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1988, to 59, with Sean Connery a year later. Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Richard Gere have each been chosen twice. Metro

Food Hall
too well in fact though one or two of us preferred no alcohol.
Although the flu seems to have had the better of many on this occasion, nevertheless this first Dinner Club meeting was a terrific success. To begin with the reception on arrival was warm and very welcoming which made everyone feel quite at ease while being shown to the table. The restaurant itself is so designed that one can feel part of the whole ambiance yet also create one’s own ambience without interference from other tables or groups.
By the time we got to the desserts the party was really swinging and possibly even getting louder by the minute so quite frankly we did not get many comments about these apart from the fact that they were very well presented and delicious. I may be traditional but I think that the home-made sticky toffee pudding was definitely a winner. It was difficult to get everyone to agree to leave. No-one wanted to move and the meal was followed by some other drinks just to prolong the stay. We all enjoyed this first meal, all said they would return to KOKOMO on their own accord, not only so they also added that they will not wish to miss the next Diners’ Club meeting.
The food was superb and extremely well presented. The home-made chicken liver paté I was told was a delight and the Carpaccio starter was most commented on. As far as the main courses are concerned the Sirloin steak proved most popular with the majority– tender and blending well with the garlic mushrooms and small tomatoes. But then the Cajun blackened Organic fillet of Salmon was certainly a winner that almost everyone just had to try. The house wines both white and red were very good and really flowing well, 10

In my opinion
Is it nostalgia?
Or better perhaps a lesson in conservation? Once upon a time, grocery stores, as opposed to supermarkets, put our groceries into brown paper bags that we reused for various things; even to make brown paper book covers for our school books. This was to ensure that the books were kept as clean and tidy as possible so they could be passed on to other children. Now we are made to buy throw away plastic bags to put the shopping in and add to the mountain of refuse that we collect when we buy our shopping. www.webexpressguide.com
11
Just look at you rubbish bin at the end of the day or even week; it is full to the top with empty wrappings, boxes and packaging of all sorts as opposed to real organic waste. Back then, we returned milk bottles, lemonade bottles & beer bottles to the shops. The shops then sent them back to the suppliers to be washed, sterilized and refilled, so that the same bottles were used over and over. This is real recycling. We did not need doctors to tell us to walk a mile a day to keep down our weight and fight obesity and diabetes 2, back then we had to walk up and down stairs because we didn’t have an escalator in every store or office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go 200 yards. People took the bus and children rode bikes to school or walked instead of turning their mothers into a 24-hour taxi service in the family’s expensive car or van, which cost swhat a whole house used to. There may be a lot to be said for today’s throw away nappies but in the past we 12
www.webexpressguide.com
washed the baby’s nappies, we dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts. Wind & solar power actually really did dry our clothes back then. Children got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brandnew clothing For home entertainment there was just one radio in the house, not a TV in every room. And if anyone did own a TV, it had a small screen not one the size of a football pitch. When cooking, we blended and stirred by hand as we didn’t have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send by post, we used layers of old newspapers to cushion it, not plastic bubble wrap. We didn’t fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn, we simply used a push mower using human power. Most of all we exercised by working so we was no need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity We drank from a tap or fountain when we
In my opinion
were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen and we replaced the razor blade in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. And we didn’t need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest leisure park. While the present generation may comment on how wasteful we used to be, there is no
denying that we certainly have made our lives more comfortable to the extreme but we have also added more speed and stress to our way of life and I do think that there is certainly a good lesson to be leaned by looking back and perhaps even adopt some of the lessons that the our grandparents from past can teach us. I am sure we could be a much healthier race.

Is nudity permitted in Spain? El nudismo esta permitido en EspaĂąa?
We are certainly not born fully dressed, the human body was not designed to be wrapped up in clothes and subjected to artificial heat and light sources and air conditioning. It would seem that millions of normal people describe how good it feels to have the sun and breeze on their skin, also to be less self conscious of one’s appearance in realising that most other people do not have a perfect body. Sunbathing and swimming are the most popular nudists’ activities. A natural all 14
www.webexpressguide.com
over tan is very appealing and swimming in the nude is bliss when costumes are really uncomfortable and these days even pointless. Apparently naturism is also very sociable. Naturists are happy, friendly people pleased to have discovered a way of being and treat everyone with respect and as equals. This is when you realise that after all we are all equals; age, shape, race, creed and colour are irrelevant in naturism and thousands of practising naturists families all over the world enjoy a healthy way of life where children are
brought without the usual hang-ups about their bodies. Simple nudity is not sexually stimulating; in naturist places you will find people doing what you see anywhere else, only without clothes. Officially there are no laws against nudism in Spain and in theory you can strip off and wonder anywhere totally nude, but then... it is not quite so. If it is not for being nude they may well find you guilty of some other related offence. For example, it is absolutely illegal to wander in the streets of Barcelona even in bikini, never mind in the nude. This includes men in shorts or bare-chested. The local authorities maintain that beachwear is for the beach so there are about 14 known nudist beaches in the area. As everything else in Spain, it is legally permitted and it is not depending on the circumstances, one thing is certain nudism is widely practised on Spanish beaches. Certain beaches have been classified as “nudist beaches” but it does not mean that only nudists are allowed on these beaches, in the same way it is also acceptable for there to be nudists present on “non-nudist” beaches and it is still possible to be arrested for any “public act of indecency”.
In reality there are no ‘nudist beaches’ as such, though there are beaches that have come to be known as such through the behaviour of the bathers. The local government in Cadiz, Andalusia, has raised the possibility of fining people caught naked on their beaches, which has raised a number of legal questions. You can’t just strip off on any family beach; believe me the wrath of an irate Spanish mother is worse than any trouble you could get into from a policeman! Even the most popular and busy beaches may have an area at one end where nudity is practiced. If a beach is secluded, nudity should be acceptable there. In general the Spanish have a remarkably relaxed attitude towards nudity on their beaches especially when you consider that Spain is still a staunchly catholic country. So, it’s up to you where you decide to strip off, but be aware that it is still possible to be arrested for any “public act of indecency”. Use common sense, if you find yourself on a busy family beach with no nudists, stripping can give you a problem. Many beaches have a “nudist end”, try and find it. On remote or relatively quiet beaches, it’s easier not to offend anyone

Es cierto que no nacemos completamente vestidos, el cuerpo humano no fue diseñado para ser envuelto en ropas y sometido a fuentes de calor y de luz artificial y aire acondicionado.
la edad, la forma, la raza, credo y color son irrelevantes en el naturismo. Miles de familias de todo el mundo disfrutan de este estilo de vida saludable, donde los niños son criados sin obsesiones.
Parece que millones de personas normales describen lo bien que se sienten al tomar el sol y la brisa en su piel , y también se vuelven mas conscientes de que el cuerpo perfecto no existe.
La desnudez tal cual no es sexualmente estimulante; en lugares naturistas se encuentra gente haciendo lo que se ve en cualquier otro lugar, sólo que sin la ropa.
Tomar el sol y la natación son las actividades nudistas más populares. Un bronceado natural entero es muy atractivo y nadar al desnudo es pura felicidad cuando la ropa molesta tanto esos días de calor infernal.
Oficialmente no hay leyes en contra del nudismo en España y en teoría uno puede desnudarse y pasearse por cualquier lugar totalmente desnudo, pero.... no es exactamente así.
Al parecer, el naturismo es también muy sociable. Los naturistas son gente feliz, amables, satisfechos de haber descubierto una nueva manera de ser y tratan a todos con respeto y como iguales. Se dan cuenta de que después de todo, todos somos iguales;
Por ejemplo, es absolutamente ilegal vagar por las calles de Barcelona en bikini, imagínese desnudo. Esto incluye hombres en pantalones cortos o con el torso desnudo. Las autoridades locales sostienen que la ropa de playa es para la playa, por eso hay cerca de 14
www.webexpressguide.com
playas nudistas conocidas en la zona. Como todo lo demás en España, el nudismo está legalmente permitido pero en función de las circunstancias, eso si, el nudismo se practica ampliamente en las playas españolas. Algunas playas han sido clasificadas como “playas nudistas”, pero eso no significa que sólo los nudistas son estan permitidos en estas playas, de la misma manera también es aceptable que haya nudistas presentes en las playas “no nudistas” pero pueden detenerte por un “acto de indecencia pública”. En realidad no hay “playas nudistas” como tal, aunque hay playas que han llegado a ser conocidas como tal a través del comportamiento de los bañistas. El gobierno local de Cádiz, Andalucía, ha planteado la posibilidad de multar a las personas atrapadas desnudas en sus playas, lo que ha iniciado una serie de cuestiones legales. No se puede simplemente desnudarse en cualquier playa; yo creo que la ira de
una madre española iracunda es peor que cualquier problema que podría encontrar con un policía! Incluso las playas más populares y concurridas pueden tener un área en un extremo donde se practica el nudismo. Si es una playa aislada, la desnudez debería ser aceptable. En general, los españoles tienen una actitud muy relajada hacia la desnudez en sus playas, especialmente si tenemos en cuenta que España sigue siendo un país firmemente católico. Por lo tanto, le toca a usted decidir cuando quitarse la ropa, pero tenga en cuenta que todavía es posible ser arrestado por “acto de indecencia pública”. Use el sentido común, si usted se encuentra en una playa normal ocupada sin nudistas, desnudarse le puede dar problemas. Muchas playas tienen un “final nudista”, trate de encontrarlo. En playas remotas o relativamente tranquilas, es más fácil no ofender a nadie.

Они не с другой планеты. Они используют методы лечения также доступные вам. They are not from another planet, they use medical therapies that are also available to you Learn about the benefits of Hyperbaric Medicine Learn about the benefits of Hyperbaric Medicine
HYPERBARIC OXYGEN = QUALITY OF LIFE Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) means placing a patient in a hyperbaric chamber under increased atmospheric pressure so he can breathe 100% oxygen; Under this condition, oxygen becomes a medicament that begins therapeutic treatments on the body. The treatment is particularly recommended for reducing inflammation, generally helping wounds to heal, as well as difficult to heal wounds, like ulcers or diabetic foot. It can prevent the need of amputation. The beneficial effect on post operative recovery, including plastic surgery, is well proven.
It is also recommended for sports injuries, bone fractures, neurological damage, autism, relief from the effects of radiotherapy or burns, and reducing stress and chronic fatigue. It is the greater concentration of oxygen going through the blood that aids the body all-round. The hyperbaric chamber at the Hyperbaric Medical Centre is made of entirely transparent material with room for one person, allowing for direct communication with the medical staff. It is hygienic, comfortable, private and unhurried.
DIVING AND UNDERWATER FISHING CERTIFICATES ARE ISSUED
ГИПЕРБАРИЧЕСКАЯ КИСЛОРОДНАЯ ТЕРАПИЯ = КАЧЕСТВО ЖИЗНИ Гипербарическая оксигенация (ГБО) значит положить пациента в барокамере, где увеличивается атмосферное давление, и тогда пациент начинает дышать 100% кислородом. В таком состоянии кислород становится как лекарство и дает терапевтическое лечение организму. Такое лечение особенно рекомендуется для уменьшения воспалений, помогает заживлять раны, даже язвы и диабетическую стопу. Может предотвратить необходимость ампутации. Благотворно влияет на послеоперационное восстановление, даже после пластической хирургии.
Также рекомендуется для спортивных травм, перелома костей, неврологических проблем, аутизма, дает облегчение от радиотерапии или ожогов, снижает стресс и хроническую усталость. Большая концентрация кислорода проходит через кровь и насыщает все тело. Гипербарическая барокамера в Гипербарическом медицинском центре сделана полностью из прозрачного материала, расчитана на одного человека и позволяет напрямую общаться с медицинским персоналом. Все гигиенично, удобно, приватно.

THERE IS A WAY TO STOP PAIN! Stop pain naturally curing the problem with no medication, no surgery and no other remedies. (information provided by Arthropos) Nature has gone out of its way to ensure that we experience pain so as to alert us to injury in order that we may protect our bodies from damage in the evolution of self preservation.
Artropos has been in operation for over 20 years. Thermo-percussion has been used to treat thousands of patients of all ages and with all types of musculoskeletal disorders.
But what happens when the pain becomes unbearable, when the cause of such pain is derived from a cause that cannot be stopped instantly such as arthritis, lumbar pain or sciatica? The first thing that doctors will recommend is pain killers and antiinflammatory medications, which alleviate pain for as long as they are used, however they do not cure the cause. When medications fail to allow the body to cure the problem one alternative can be surgery.
The following are some of the most common afflictions that improve with thermopercussion treatment:
This is why in recent years patients have been seeking relief and even cure from natural methods such as getting more exercise, massage, herbal supplements, acupuncture and so on depending on the cause of pain. Constant pain and aches can cause stress and make life an absolute misery, unfortunately as we get older the more prone we are to get aches and pains through wear and tear. The answers is simple and it lies in stimulating cellular regeneration to relieve and even cure all symptoms and pains. Treating patients’ with Thermo-Percussion brings relief and even cures in a natural, effective and durable way, safely, without operations or medication. Drugs treat symptoms, but when one stops taking them, pain returns with even more intensity because the root of the problem was not addressed. With the elderly, the degenerative process that caused the problem will continue.

The treatment is painless and relaxing and it consist of deep thermo-therapy accompanied by a light but vigorous thermo- percussion massage, the combination of these two induces the cellular regeneration of muscle and soft tissue, gradually reducing the pain on a permanent basis while curing the problem.

Buying and selling on internet? Beware the tax office is after you! There is nothing wrong in selling and buying second hand goods via the internet, however it is very wrong to sell goods for profit as it is wrong to buy new goods and not pay IVA. To avoid confusion between used and new goods, the tax office have now classified the difference between loss or profit on such sales as “capital gain” or “loss” which must be declared on the annual tax return. Profiteering without paying the due taxes is fraud and it is even greater fraud if new merchandise or services are sold or bought without charging or paying I.V.A. Additionally it is unfair competition for others who are openly trading and paying their dues, therefore the tax office is loses from the sales via the internet as well as the sales that bona fide traders lose out on. Since 2015 the tax office has started to take notice of sites where sales are made in this matter, the so called social media that are clearly being abused, as a consequence they have started checking the activities eBay, Amazon and others that attract their attention. Though no punitive action has yet been taken so far there is no doubt the problem will soon be tackled. You are warned! Since such sales are normally made by individuals (and even companies) the tax office will demand proof of cost against sale price as well proof of IVA payment from the purchaser. The profits are considered a 44
www.webexpressguide.com
“patrimonial” gain with at least 19% due on the annual return. The penalty for not declaring is the payment of the tax due plus 150% of its value. The same penalty applies to the buyers for purchasing without paying I.V.A. If you are caught and show that in fact you made a loss or no profit at all you may still be fined €200 for not declaring the transaction or transactions on the due tax return.

For instance some may ask: what can a bomber jacket do for me? It matches sporty looking textiles, but with a classic silhouette - as with a white shirt – the result is refreshing, comfortable and versatile.

The 5
advantages of trading through a limited company in Spain. There are a number of advantages in operating your business as a limited company that could well compensate the initial costs of incorporation and the slightly higher running costs. 1. Limited liability. Unlike trading as a self-employed individual, a company only risks its registered capital and assets. Though in certain circumstances the director of the company may be persdonally liable in respect of the Tax Office and the Social Security; this is when it is proven that he has been negligent in attending to his managing obligations. 2. Less Tax for the profit. When an ‘autonomo’ makes a profit he initially pays 20% of the profit as Income Tax. However the tax rate to pay 45% for every euro made over 50,000. for an individual is graduated and it can reach 45%. The actual tax liability is calculated at 3. Pay more tax only when you “enjoy it”. the end of the tax year, when the tax return Self-employed Individuals pay tax for every euro of the positive balance of the year at the is submitted. highest possible rate. Should these funds be By contrast, companies are subjected to finally used, for example, to reinvest in their corporation tax which is 25% of profit for business in a later tax year, these are taxed at small companies. An individual would have a “consumption tax rate” (personal Income 48

tax) even though they were never used to that end.
if you plan to “own a business” instead of “owning an employment”.
When the same situation arises in a limited company, though the profit was taxed at 25% when it was made, because it never went out of the company but stayed to be reinvested, it is not taxed at a high “consumption rate”. Only when the funds are used for personal use the highest possible tax is then paid.
Business angels or investors will not typically invest in a sole-trader’s business. If you plan to develop a business, attract capital or sell shares this is the most advisable legal form.
4. Better public image. Companies give a much better business image than selfemployed. Companies present a more serious business image to creditors and suppliers. One of the companies’ regular obligations is to submit annual account to Companies’ House which installs further confidence to third parties too.
For a consideration on preparing a business to be sold later or buying an existing one, read at Limitconsulting.com our article: Considerations before buying a business. In conclusion, companies enjoy greater flexibility especially in deducting tax when purchasing, in transferring profits (dividends or salary) to the owner, a lot more.

Yo
sobreviví al gimnasio Gustavo Ángel Lorca Carrero Betacaroteno, triglicéridos, isotónico... son palabras que tendrían que ser solo familiares para los químicos orgánicos, pero acabo de cumplir treinta y cinco años. Dios mío, estoy más cerca de los cuarenta que de los treinta. ¡Si me siento joven!
Paso 1: Aceptación. Las básculas de las farmacias no tienen nada contra ti. Son máquinas desalmadas que imprimen un ticket minúsculo con su veredicto. En mi caso: “Sobrepeso” (Autómata sin corazón). Al parecer el espejo de mi cuarto de baño compartía opinión con la dichosa maquinita, incluso mi pareja parecía demasiado vacilante al decirme aquello de que estás muy bien. Está claro, no lo estaba y hay que tomar medidas. 52
www.webexpressguide.com
Paso 2: Decisiones Voy a tener que comer menos, pero sin pasar hambre, que lo he leído en las redes sociales. Tras una rápida búsqueda en Google descubro la primera de una larga lista de palabras: Carbohidratos. Al parecer son como el anticristo de la comida, cuanto más lejos mejor. Sus lugartenientes en el malvado ejército nutricional son las grasas y los azúcares. Llegué a la siguiente conclusión: “Si está bueno, no lo pruebes”. Tras unas semanas de martirio culinario, en la que los únicos que se salvaban de la quema eran los vegetales, los pollos y los pavos (animalitos), llegó a mis oídos que no se puede hacer dieta sin hacer ejercicio. Dicho y hecho, busqué a esos amigos sanos y naturales que todos tenemos y me apunté con ellos a su gimnasio. Lo más parecido a un chándal que había en mi armario era un pijama de cuadros, así que una tarde de compras resultó en un par de pantalones sueltos, zapatillas con suelas deportivas (por si me decidía por el atletismo profesional) y varias camisetas que jamás habría soñado comprar un año antes. ¡Ya estoy listo!
Paso 3: La tort... El gimnasio. La primera vez que entras en un gimnasio resulta desconcertante, y no lo digo solo por el aroma a esfuerzo, sino por la variedad de aparatos y diseños, algunos de ellos claramente pensados para una raza diferente a la humana con incomprensibles objetivos. Me alejé de ellos con paso decidido hacia el que me resultó más familiar, la cinta de correr. Esa sí que la había visto en alguna serie de televisión y me pareció inofensiva.
El botón rojo de emergencia pita, pita muy fuerte. Lo descubrí a los cinco minutos de estar corriendo en el modo “colina suave”. No sé en qué estaban pensando los programadores de aquel chisme, pero imagino que serían escaladores profesionales, no se puede sudar tanto en una colina suave. Era como si alguien me hubiese lanzado un cubo de agua caliente. Con el pitido acudió un monitor que se preocupó seriamente por mi estado de salud. En cuanto pude hablar y ponerme en pie de nuevo me dio varios consejos para un “entrenamiento ligero” que comenzaba con unas abdominales. Tres, en concreto, tres fueron las que resistí antes de que me diera un tirón en el estómago, parece imposible, pero puedo jurar que es lo que sentí en aquel momento junto con una extraña indecisión entre vomitar o desmayarme. Por una pura cuestión de orgullo, y por no desmayarme sobre mi propio vómito, conseguí solo perder el sentido unos segundos y salir de allí con la poca dignidad que me quedaba. Una retirada táctica de manual.
Paso 4: Equilibrio En un par de semanas intentando cuidarte se aprenden algunas cosas. He encontrado un dietista que me ha descubierto un nuevo mundo de sabores, la cinta de correr puede ponerse en modo “planicie”, y hay un ritual previo a las abdominales llamado calentamiento que te ayuda a evitar los tirones intestinales (lo he buscado y soy el primer caso documentado de esta dolencia). Era solo cuestión de buscar un poco de equilibrio, al parecer voy a seguir teniendo treinta y cinco todo este año y a mi pareja no le importa mucho. La vida es una sucesión de experiencias, mejor si sobrevivimos a todas.

Whats news
Unfortunately it comes to us all When? – This is the million dollar question. It can happen at anytime, anywhere but if you are in Spain beware of possible businesses aiming to exploit people in these sad, delicate circumstances, when the family of the deceased is under distress. For this reason, one has to be prepared to deal with the unexpected. As with everything else on this Costa you have to know who you are dealing with, there are many unprofessional and unqualified bodies willing to take your money, some even under false pretences. Speaking English is not a qualification; knowledge, experience and licences are most definitely more useful if not essential. As everywhere else, the death has to be certified by a doctor as soon as possible for it to be registered. Depending on the circumstances, the police may need to be notified as well and burial or cremation normally takes place within 24/48 hours. For this very last journey, it is essential to know a genuine undertaker that will honestly carry out these functions correctly and as painlessly as possible from beginning to burial.

Francisco Camero, established since the 1800’s with six branches, is one of the largest and most qualified Funeral Director on the Costa. They have even created a plan named “Dignity Charter”, whereby you can choose your funeral in advance at today’s cost and pay for it by instalments over a period to be agreed, interest free in the first year. The price is fixed at the onset irrespective of inflation at time of death. Of course they offer a vast range of options to choose from with full service for burials, cremations and ceremonies in any language or religion with maximum attention to details. Their facilities include their own crematorium and even chapels of rest if needed. Body repatriation is a complex task which they can perform with ease for the family’s peace of mind. Francisco Camero’s objective is to provide a quality service 24 hours a day, 7 days per week with everything that is needed with maximum consideration for the bereaved, and in English too.

Fragrantly sweet strawberries are the most popular type of berry fruit in the world. Although they have become increasingly available year-round, they are at the peak of their season from April through July when they are the most delicious and most abundant.
Given their unique combination of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients, research supports strawberry health benefits in three major areas:
Spain is the second largest producer of strawberries as well as the largest exporter. Considering that 90% of the produce is grown in Andalucia, it is no wonder that we may be the first in the world to see freshly picked strawberries.
2. Improved regulation of blood sugar, with decreased risk of type 2 diabetes

Hearts ageing faster than their owners, reveals Bupa
A press release sent in by Sonia Fendley, director of STM Nummos Life S.L.
which was on average 2.8 and 2 years older than their physical age.
Heart disease is the no.1 cause of death globally (according to the British Heart Foundation):
For Hearts at Work, a campaign created by Bupa and the World Heart Federation, over 8,000 consumers globally took a heart age check. The check calculates the user’s heart age based on personal health details such as blood pressure, family medical history, and lifestyle risk factors such as smoking.
•
Line of work can impact heart health with teachers and medical professionals’ hearts in the best condition.
•
Workplace health initiatives can help to improve heart health.
•
Bupa partners with the World Heart Federation for Hearts at Work campaign, to mobilise workplaces to be heart healthy.
High level research by Bupa has revealed that the average working person’s ‘heart age’ is 3.3 years above their actual age and that there is a relationship between jobs and heart health. Research also showed that the heart age of people who work in an environment where workplace health initiatives are in place tends to be lower. Different occupations and heart health
Among the respondents, occupation was found to affect the average difference between their physical age and their heart age. Jobs with the best heart health: Medicine Teaching Accountancy, banking IT & Information Services Retail & Sales
+2 years +2.8 years +3 years +3.5 years +3.8 years
Jobs with the worst heart health: Manual Labour Transport Porperty & Construction Charlity Work Energy and utilities

common sense and morbid fascination for the poor unfortunates of society, gives me a cosy glow; not to mention some really good ammunition. So what do these sad B*****ds all have to winge about? Well it would seem on average that the main gripe would be loneliness and a general inability to get a hold of someone to s**g. I would not be the sort of person to be too familiar with this particular malaise, but that
doesn’t mean I can’t sympathize with Jane and Johnny no-mates, after all beauty as they say, is only skin deep. So what kind of advice do I offer to the Grinch’s? If you have been too unlucky or ugly to get to convince someone to accept your invitation, luckily enough there is one day a year that could have been made for such a poor unfortunate; a day when, without fear of ridicule, even Quasimodo himself can walk loud and proud into a card shop and buy a big, soppy, flower covered, overpriced piece of paper for the Esmeralda of his dreams. I am talking St Valentine’s Day; now nobody really knows the actual truth behind the patron saint of ugly people, but it can be safely assumed that he was, like myself, a caring humanitarian and maybe even a latterday champion of the underdog, again, like myself. One thing is certain however, and that is, thanks to his legacy, the aesthetically challenged are guaranteed at least one legover a year or at least a shot at one. With the help of the saintly day or any other day, and why not, the first port of call therefore, is the flower shop; all women like to receive flowers (Unless you are taking no chances, and going for a blind girl). Now the trick here is to bite the bullet and go for a really expensive bunch, a single red rose is all well and good if you have the kind of looks to carry off such a stingy gesture, but unless you are the Milk Tray Man type, do yourself a favour and look as if you don’t mind paying for a bit of the other. Chocolates are traditionally a love token, here again, you need to go for a big flash box, a family bag of Revels just isn’t going to swing it, and if I might add a word of advice, hold back on handing over the chocky’s until you see the
way things are shaping up, after all a 10 euro box of chocolates is quite an investment and if the ice queen isn’t going to give out, you will need something to eat whilst waiting for your bus. What to wear is important, try not to wander too far away from your usual mode of attire, keep in mind that you wear what you wear because you feel comfortable in it, being in a strange place, with a complete stranger, for the first time is uncomfortable enough as it is without having the point of a brand new Ben Sherman shirt collar burrowing its way into your shoulders. Avoid buying any new items of clothing as you may find yourself in some unfamiliar positions (if your luck is in) and therefore don’t want to be squirming about in too much polyester, I am sure I don’t need to tell you that a build up of static electricity, could lead to some nasty scorching! A favourite starting point for the repugnant Romeo is a darkened restaurant and this time honoured tradition of meeting the intended victim in the dark and filling them up with alcohol as quickly as possible has worked miracles for some over the years, take for example Chris Evens and Billie Piper (although having said, a few million pounds works just as well as a bat cave!) At the end of the day, the path of true love never runs smooth and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so my advice to all those seeking true love but carrying the burden of severe ugly stick abuse, would be, remember, not all frogs turn into prince charming, but that didn’t stop Miss Piggy and she was a bit of a babe! www.webexpressguide.com

OVERWATCH
NO MAN´S SKY
Overwatch features squad-based combat with two opposing teams of six players each. Players choose one of several hero characters, each with their own unique abilities and role classes. The four character roles include: offense characters with high speed and attack but low defense, defense characters meant to form choke points for enemies, support characters that provide buffs and debuffs for their allies and enemies respectively (such as healing or speed alterations), and tank characters that have a large amount of armor and hit points to withstand enemy attacks and draw fire away from teammates.
No Man’s Sky’s gameplay is built on four pillars—exploration, survival, combat and trading—in which players are free to perform within the entirety of a procedurally generated deterministic open universe, which includes over 18 quintillion (1.8×1019) planets, many with their own set of flora and fauna. By exploring, players gain information about the planets that they can submit to The Atlas, a universal database that can be shared with other players of the game.
