I had hoped that, while we waited confirmation of our ISSN number, Khrystyna would be found and home and well. Not only is that not the case - but concerns have escalated and the search has been extended.

I have added the poster to the latest issue of Live in Spain Magazine (as that covers all of Spain and beyond) - I am adding it here in case readers, not in Javea at the moment, were here and spotted her around the time that she disappeared on May 20th.

A letter in which she wrote goodbye to her family has changed the nature of the investigation. Khrystyna Saven-chuk, a 15-year-old student from IES declared that she had little desire to live and indicated despair over the break-up with her German based boyfriend. Search focus has now moved back on Javea, away from Sagunto (where her mobile phone was found on the afternoon of her disappearance).

Given the awful possibility that Kyrystyna may have been suicidal, the Guardia Civil is searching her favourite places on Cap de Sant Antonio, working with the local police of Jvea and volunteers from Civil Protection, locally. The coastline has also been searched from the sea.

In essence, Khrystyna disappeared last May 20. She was last seen about eight oclock in the Holy Calle Cristo del Mar. Khrystyna left home without her backpack and with no money. Her passport and everyday jewellery were also left - she took only her phone (found at Sagunto).

Dear Grapevine Friends,

Its a real pleasure to address you again and share with you some of the things that have taken place over the last few weeks.

During this time, apart from my work at the Town Hall, I had to attend to my duties as an MP in the Provincial Government. I was also involved in many activities related to the European Election campaign. May I take this opportunity to thank the voters of Xbia for the confidence they have shown in me and my party the PSOE. Proportionally our percentage of the total votes in Xbia substantially improved over the 2009 European Elections.

During May I had more than 70 engagements, committees, meetings with citizens, plenary sessions both in the Town Hall and in Alicante.

I was also present at many events such as the Gala Dinner for the Fogueres de San Juan fiestas, the annual dinner of the Rotary Club, a celebration with the municipal employees on the feast of St. Rita, the opening of the Festival del Mar, gala dinner of the International Festival, a lunch with the Pensioners Association of the Pueblo,

the end of term celebrations at the Institute, and many more events too long to list.

I enjoy attending and sharing these moments with the people of my town which give me the opportunity to listen and to talk with everyone.

Once again the Association for Environmental Education has announced the awards of Blue Flags for Xbia.

The town retains the three blue flags for the Granadella, Arenal and Grava beaches, and the flag for the Club Nutico in the Port.

Almost ten years ago, for safety reasons, a temporary roundabout with bollards, was created near Barclays Bank, however the final construction has been delayed by urban development issues in the area.


Xbias Departments of Public Works and Services have now carried out work to improve the aesthetic image of the roundabout, which I believe will enhance the area until such time as the final roundabout can be constructed.

12 | The Grapevine Issue 170 2014 The Grapevine Issue 170 2014| 13 |Now is the time to continue working hard with enthusiasm and humility, and above all with the help of all of you; so often the messages of encouragement you send me give me strength to continue working.

We have only one year remaining of our current legislature, a year of significant challenges, which I will face with great responsibility and the hope that everything goes well. With my best wishes and see you soon Your Mayor,

My work at the Town Hall has been very demanding, as both the municipality and AMJASA the municipal water company continue to make improvements to the infrastructure of our town.

The well managed water company celebrated the closing of the 2012 financial year with a surplus of 954,000 euros, all of which has been invested in the water network including the renovation of over 2,500 meters of water mains.

In addition the Town Halls remaining budget surplus from 2013 will be

used to carry out many public works, including a major plan for re-asphalting many roads in urbanizations, which will be a continuation of our previous works.

It has taken much effort, but finally we have obtained approval for another major infrastructure improvement.

The Alicante Provincial Government will construct new storm drains at a cost of 145.590,73 euros, on the Travesa de Cansalades, Xbia.

This will prevent flooding on the road during periods of heavy rain.

Alan Hermann is so passionate about opposition to the Oil Surveys that he has paddled the 60 miles be-tween Jvea and Ibizas Cala dHort. Supporting protestors and volunteers from Jvea, used the day before to collect more signatures for the Javea Diu No campaign addressed to the European Parliament.

The Councillor for Tourism, Anto-nio Miragall and Sports Councillor, Juan Luis Cardona, took advantage of conclusion of the Triathlon event in the Arenal to encourage more sig-

natures from competitors and spec-tators. Later in the afternoon, volun-teers moved to the Port to continue to collect signatures.

At dawn, Alan departed from Club Nutico Jvea, to follow a surfing course towards Ibiza, paddling for more than 12 hours to prove his radi-cal opposition to the surveys.

News in via Andrs Gonzlez (Reuters).Repsol could begin drilling for oil off the Canaries within months after the removal of the last legal hurdle to a $7 billion oil exploration project on Tuesday 24th June.

In 2012, Spains government granted permits for exploration off the coasts of the islands of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, but they were frozen while courts heard a number of appeals on environmental grounds.

Thousands of people marched in dif-ferent cities and towns on the islands earlier this month to protest against the plans, which have been opposed by political parties, unions, environ-mental groups and other organiza-tions.

The seven appeals against the gov-ernments royal decree...have been rejected, a Supreme Court spokes-woman said on Tuesday. The courts written arguments will be published in the coming days, she said.

Spain produces almost no oil or nat-ural gas and imports all of its hydro-carbon needs.

Environmental groups including Greenpeace, Oceana and the World Wildlife Fund - which have cam-paigned against the oil exploration plans - decried the ruling, saying a

spill in the area would harm protect-ed species, coral reefs, tourism and fisheries.

The game is not over here. The de-cision of the Supreme Court affects the exploration drilling where they will detect whether there is commercially viable oil. Now were going to mobi-lize at a European level against this, said Mario Rodriguez, director of Greenpeace Spain. Of the seven ap-peals rejected by the Supreme Court, one was from the local Canary Island government, which initially supported the project but then turned against it. Activists argue the exploration could hit tourism, the islands main source of income. Greenpeaces Rodriguez said the potential damages were great compared with returns that he said would meet Spains hydro-carbons needs only for two or three years.

Repsol, which leads a consortium in-cluding Australias Woodside Petro-leum Ltd and Germanys RWE Dea AG , has said exploration could start in the third quarter and commercial extraction could begin in 2019 if find-ings are positive.

Repsol will spend $350 million on the first two explorations and would invest $7 billion during the first five years to 2019 afterwards. The pro-duction phase, expected to last 20 years, would require about $5.2 bil-lion to extract crude oil.

...But May be to no Avail...

A really Happy Dog

Many dogs who are brought to us mourn for their former life but this is not the case with Boira.

She seems to be an embodiment of happiness.

She is here in our shelter, because her owner had to move out of Spain and from the first moment she only kept playing, jumping, run-ning and enjoying her life here together with the other dogs.

She is a super lively young female, ready to start a new life in a new environment. She is still young enough to be trained and if you give her a lot of space, long walks and a good education you will surely have a nice family dog.

What a bad luck!

After being in the pound for a while, people adopted him, although we told them that Sidney was a very active dog who would need some training. After not even a week, he was back again as he indeed was too active, did not listen to commands and climbed over the fence. Without even trying to train him, they brought the poor dog back.

He is now totally confused and unhappy.

If you are willing to give him a home, train him (he likes to work with people and is so young), and want to keep him for longer than a week...please come to the pound.

We are more than happy to tell you more about Sidney and give you training advice. Sidney walks very well on the lead and is a good and social boy.

Apasa was founded 15 yrs ago by a group of Spanish, English and Germans. It started from humble beginnings: a few concrete kennels and no fencing, but over the years it has grown so much and we now have upwards of 200 dogs, we also have quarantine kennels for when new or sick dogs are bought in. We work with the town hall and the police in collecting dogs that have been lost or abandoned. We need the support of our members and all the fundraising events to keep us going.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support.


This is just another sad story.

Neron and his partner Dona were left on an empty plot, and their owner only came every fortnight to give them food and water.

Neron got ill, and we were called to take the dogs away. Fortunately the owner was glad to give the dogs to us, so we could give them all medical care they needed. Neron is an older dog, but such a good one. He is very social and loving. If you could offer him a couple of good years at your home, please come and get him. You will be re-warded by owning a good and obedient dog.

Needs a Friend

Eva was found running about in the middle of a street. She is a young, lively and playful female with lots of energy.

She has very quickly adapted to her new situation and has already found many friends here in the shelter.

This middle-sized girl is now waiting for a nice family, preferably with another dog from whom Eva could learn and with whom she could play.

The Correos

The paint inside the fully refurbished Correos was barely dry when the need for urgent structural repair work on the porch and upstairs was un-covered.

The porch area and the floor above had to be gutted for safety and the rebuilding work to repair the building is major. They are making good pro-gress however and have made huge efforts to keep the Correos open and functioning normally, during the whole process.

They have even built a temporary covered entrance way to give every-one safe access to the building.

Inside, however, is very smart. New counters, some seats (for those of us weary from the haul up from the car park) so that we can rest while we wait and best of all a new ticket-ing system so that we dont have to stand and queue, we can relax and chat with our neighbours. Best of all the staff, now they less stressed, are processing clients faster.

The repair of the porch of the main Coreos in

the Pueblo is because of movement in the Porch

structure which has affected the rooms above

and more importantly public safety. The Post Office building, itself,

is privately owned, but the Porch is part of the

Municipal Property.

The emergency work, which will strictly adhere

to cleaning up the the damaged areas, will last two or three weeks and

have a budget of 29,000 euros.

Hi Everyone! Today we are going to talk about a topic which often is an issue for debating between several computer users. And this is

Are Mac users safe of viruses?

We have all heard the sentence there are no Mac viruses, and its a well-known topic in most of Mac-related forums. When a person expresses a concern about viruses, someone (often someone identified by the forum as an expert) will invariably respond with, No way! There are no Mac viruses. Usually, no additional information is given. This is quite annoying, because that is a partial truth that hides and denies the greater reality. So what is the truth, then?

On one hand, quite a lot of people dont understand basic malware terminology. The technical definition of a virus is a malicious program that installs by itself, hiding itself inside another program or file, and spreads itself to other computers. The word malware, on the other hand, refers to all classes of malicious software: viruses, worms, trojans, etc. The average user refers to all malware as viruses, without an understanding of the strict definition of the word. Theres nothing wrong with that, and it should be the job of those with more technical knowledge to educate those who have less, and not to play word games with them or deride them for a minor wrong-use of terminology, especially on a subject that we are all quite concerned about.

On the other hand, it is only mostly true that there are no Mac viruses. People claiming that there are no Mac viruses are conveniently forgetting about Word macro viruses. Those do fit the technical definition, but nobody

counts them anymore, since they are mostly just an annoyance on the Mac, and that is if you still encounter them at all.

There are also a number of cases of proof-of-concept viruses in the history of Mac OS X. The Inqtana and Macarena viruses, for example, were never actually seen in the wild, but they were created as proof that viruses could be created that would affect Mac OS X. Even recently, there have been proof-of-concept viruses announced, such as the Clapzok virus that was created by a security researcher and announced last year. Its true that none of these have actually been used maliciously, to anyones knowledge, but they still exist and should not be so quickly dismissed.

Finally, its important to understand that the most important aspect of the definition of the word virus is the capability to install itself. In other words, unlike a trojan, which relies on fooling you into opening something you shouldnt and can therefore be avoided through cautious behavior, a virus can infect you without you doing anything that you might consider risky. All the other details, like injecting itself inside other applications, are just fluff. There is actually quite a bit of malware for the Mac that would fit that principle.

Flashback, for example, works in the background so many users dont even know they are infected.

This is the most well-known case (it infected over 600.000 Mac computers), in which all that was needed to become infected was to visit a hacked web site with Java enabled in the web browser. Technically speaking, Flashback (and all the more recent malware that uses similar tricks) is not a virus. Practically speaking, I certainly would

call it one!Mac infections are so rare that for

many of who switch to OS X after years on a PC with Windows, it kind of feels like youre on a different dimension: the OS is fun, clean, and safe. But just because Mac malware is rare certainly doesnt mean it doesnt exist, or that it couldnt surge to Windows-like proportions one day.

Currently there are multiple malware programs circulating designed to infiltrate Mac OS. These programs are similarly designed to look like legitimate antivirus programs and tell users that their Mac is heavily infected with viruses. The program then harasses people into providing credit card information to purchase fake anti-virus program to remove the infection. This is a ploy to get your personal information.

Often times these programs are automatically downloaded but cannot be installed without the permission of the user, by way of an administrator password. People who are not aware of these malware threats can unknowingly install these programs on to their machines.

Most of these threats come from plug-ins and add-ons, like for browsers, which are usually distributed outside official app stores, so not everyone is a target for them. As like with a PC with Windows, depends on what you do on your computer!

I LIKE IT!

!ME GUSTA!

Youll hear me gusta! A lot its what we say in Spanish when we like something but it doesnt actually literally translate as I like it!

Really literally - it means it pleases me - the me is me & the gusta is it pleases , so youre saying me it pleases all a bit back to front what I call Yoda Mode . Star wars fans will know what I mean!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVvMso7yaHA

So you need to disengage the brain a little for this but when you get your head around it youll see that its really easier to deal with than other verbs!When I was first taught GUSTAR, my Spanish teacher told us the only GUSTA (he/she/it pleases) & GUSTAN (they please) exist.

A year or so later I was watching TV when I heard Te gustamos?

I thought I was hearing things after all, gustamos didnt exist according to my Spanish teacher - & it wasnt in my verb book either. But the more I thought about it the more certain I was that I had heard it & taking the context into account they had definitely been saying do you like us? A bit of research later I discovered that yes, the other parts of GUSTAR do exist but most of the time you wont need them, so we can pretty much forget about them!

So, what we need is the pronoun that little word which tells us who is being pleased (who likes it) & GUSTA or GUSTAN.

GUSTA is used when its followed by a verb/action or one thing which pleases - remember GUSTA means it pleases

GUSTAN is used when its followed by a several things which please - remember GUSTAN means they please

PRONOUN

you (A TI) TE

GUSTA / GUSTANhim/her (A EL/ELLA) LE

you (all) (A VOSOTROS/AS) OS

them (A ELLOS/AS) LES

So we have 6 pronouns: me = me ; te = you; le = him/her ; nos = us; os = you all & les = them.

So - Me gusta nadar - I like to swim (me, it pleases, to swim)

Te gustan las manzanas You like apples (you, they please, the apples)

Le gusta correr He likes to run (him, it pleases, to run)

Nos gustan las fresas We like strawberries (us, they please, the straw-berries.

Os gusta ese coche? Do you all like that car? (you all, it pleases, that car?)

No les gusta la msica Jazz They dont like Jazz music (them, it doesnt please, the Jazz music)

You might have noticed that theres another column on the table which I havent mentioned. Thats because a lot of the time you wont need it. You do need it though, when talking about someone else.

From my examples above : Le gusta correr He likes to run.. but who is he or it might even be she because the le doesnt tell us who we are talking about. Without saying who is being pleased, we have no idea!.

So if Juan likes to run, we have to say A Juan le gusta correr . & the A is essential were saying to Juan, him, it pleases, to run

Similarly, No les gusta la msica Jazz, doesnt actually tell us who doesnt like Jazz it could be anyone! But if I say A mis vecinos no les gusta la msica Jazz. - you know that Im talking about my neighbours! (Actually I have no idea if they do or not maybe I should try turning the volume up to see if they complain!!)

I LIKE IT!

!ME GUSTA!

Youll hear me gusta! A lot its what we say in Spanish when we like something but it doesnt actually literally translate as I like it!

Really literally - it means it pleases me - the me is me & the gusta is it pleases , so youre saying me it pleases all a bit back to front what I call Yoda Mode . Star wars fans will know what I mean!

So you need to disengage the brain a little for this but when you get your head around it youll see that its really easier to deal with than other verbs!When I was first taught GUSTAR, my Spanish teacher told us the only GUSTA (he/she/it pleases) & GUSTAN (they please) exist.

A year or so later I was watching TV when I heard Te gustamos?

I thought I was hearing things after all, gustamos didnt exist according to my Spanish teacher - & it wasnt in my verb book either. But the more I thought about it the more certain I was that I had heard it & taking the context into account they had definitely been saying do you like us? A bit of research later I discovered that yes, the other parts of GUSTAR do exist but most of the time you wont need them, so we can pretty much forget about them!

So, what we need is the pronoun that little word which tells us who is being pleased (who likes it) & GUSTA or GUSTAN.

GUSTA is used when its followed by a verb/action or one thing which pleases - remember GUSTA means it pleases

GUSTAN is used when its followed by a several things which please - remember GUSTAN means they please

PRONOUN

me (A MI) ME

you (A TI) TE

You cannot get Freesat on a Sky box, although the channels on Freesat are also available on a Sky box (even with no viewing card).

Free to air channels are channels that are available free of encryption (so no viewing card is required) and subscription free.

They are available on Freesat and Sky boxes. Examples include BBC channels.

Free to view is not Freeview. Free to view channels are channels that are encrypted (so a viewing card is required) but are subscription free.

Free to view channels are not available on Freesat. They are available on a Sky box.

Examples include Sony Movies, Motors TV and LFCTV.

Why do I mention this?

Well I often hear of people saying bring a Freeview box to Spain and use it on your dish to get channels and connect your Freeview box to your dish and you can get Freeview in Spain.

Over the years I have been called out to people who, based on what they have heard and understood, have brought a Freeview box to Spain and confused as to why

a) it will not work with a satellite dish,

and b) it only gets Spanish TV channels and no UK channels!

Terminology

You may have often heard about Freeview, Freesat, Free to air and free to view. But do you know what they mean?

Many people and even some satellite installers are often confused about their meaning, and can mean people buying the wrong type of equipment.

Freeview is the name of the consortium that operated the UKs digital terrestrial TV service. It is transmitted from land based masts, and received by a TV aerial.

Freeview IS NOT available in Spain. The Freeview signals simply do not reach into Spain.

Freeview is not available via a satellite dish. You cannot connect a Freeview box to a satellite dish and expect to watch UK TV they are two different incompatible systems.

Spain does not have an equivalent of Freeview (the consortium), but it does have a digital terrestrial TV service - TDT.

It offers about 40 channels via a TV aerial, and has the bonus that most UK and USA imported programmes have their original English audio available as well as the dubbed Spanish audio.

Freesat is the name of the satellite TV service which offers access to the free TV channels, many of which are on Freeview. Freesat is only available on official Freesat receivers.

Why Cheap Sky Deals

are Suspect


End of cheap (and illegal) Sky TV?

Some installers have been selling systems that can access the full Sky TV package, for a lot less than the official Sky monthly charges.

They do this by selling access to illegal cardsharing systems. A satellite receiver, usually an Iberosat or Ariva, is connected via the internet to a server that provides the access codes to unlock the Sky TV channels.

Obviously illegal, but that is probably not mentioned by the installer.

However, recently, if you are using such systems you will have noticed that about a dozen Sky HD channels are no longer available Sky One HD being one such channel.

It is expected over the coming months ALL Sky HD channels, and maybe even the SD Sport and Movie channels, will have their encryption

upgraded, meaning these channels are no longer available on cardsharing systems.

This is because Sky, and other pay TV providers, have been upgrading their encryption software to prevent their channels being access via cardsharing.

The only way to continually access these channels via satellite would be using a Sky Digibox and a Sky viewing card with a monthly subscription.
