Tasteful spring food experience

Thursday late afternoon, tea-time at the language school, a great gastronomy festival is taking place on the second floor. More than sixty people gather together around typical dishes from all over the world. After a short speech by Mercedes Pozo, the headmaster, everybody rushes to try delicious cakes, pastries, pies, salads, brownies, Spanish omelette, scones, rock cakes, Galician octopus, ginger cookies and even baklawas and Easter roll from Poland.

Carol, an English teacher at the official language school of Alicante, has been living in Spain since 1969 and she says that she likes Spanish food much more than British food, because it is healthier and less fattening.

Carmen, who works at the secretary of the school and is one of the members of the jury, tells us that the criteria she will follow when choosing the winners will be the dish presentation, the elaboration and of course, taste.

A lovely festival for a wonderful evening out of the classrooms.

Family Guy keeps the FCC Busiest.

According to a report in the Los Angeles Times Family Guy is the show that is keeping the FCC busiest. Apparently an episode that aired back in March last year has alone generated almost 200,000 complaints.
In 2002 Fox cancelled the series; and in 2004 Family guy returned to production and nowadays the show is contract to continue producing episodes until 2012.


Adrián Colilla,

Bye bye ash cloud, welcome back air travellers!

After five neverending days of the unprecedented roaring of the Eyjafjallajoekull glacier, European airports are looking forward to coming back to their places.
Innumerable losses of money and patience on the side of millions of amazed passengers (whether worker or tourists) and air companies are still doubtful of their near future.
We wonder why nobody was able to predict what could have been otherwise a disaster. Anyway, friends, relatives and colleagues are expected to travel safely back home by now. Experts don't know for sure but, being the plume white and subsiding to below 3 km, airspace and daily life will hopefully return to normality.

Resounding success of the I Master in Marketing and Communication for fashion and beauty

The first Master in Marketing and Communication for fashion and beauty, whose programme has been sponsored by the recognized designer Angel Schlesser. It started last Friday 5^th of March with fifteen students registered and with a large waiting list.

The first Master in Marketing and Communication for fashion and beauty has as its main aim to specialize future communicators in these two areas of vital importance for business management.

The development of the programme has relied on the designer Angel Schlesser, who completed the initial proposal with interesting matters fitting the particular needs of the current fashion and beauty companies in Spain, as well as with the advice of Carolina LLopis, director of Germaine de Capuccini’s communication.

Moreover, it counts with the support of the top most important companies in Alicante which will offer training to the students in the departments of marketing and communication such as: Revista Urbanwoman, El Corte Inglés, Magrit, Calmoda, Nacho Rivera or Pepe Botella, among others.

ESUMA has the project to create an agency of fashion and beauty in Alicante with job prospects for their students who will cover the needs in this field in the province of Alicante and in the Valencian Community too.

The Master has a fully practical approach with different visits and conferences from distinguished people in the field of fashion and beauty.

Only big cities such as Madrid and Barcelona were offering Masters of this kind, so this is something unique for Alicante right now and I am proud to be attending it.
