* Dog days begin in early July, when the hot sultry weather of summer usually starts. The Romans referred to the dog days as diēs caniculārēs and associated the hot weather with the star Sirius. They considered Sirius to be the "Dog Star" because it is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (Large Dog). Sirius is also the brightest star in the heavens besides the Sun. Dog Days were popularly believed to be an evil time "when the seas boiled, wine turned sour, dogs grew mad, and all creatures became languid, causing burning fevers, hysterics, and phrensies" according to Brady’s Clavis Calendarium, 1813
* Summer school is under way for many students.
* Spring lambs, born in late winter or early spring, are usually sold before July 1.
Previously, it was called Quintilis in Latin, since it was the fifth month in the ancient Roman calendar, before January became the first month of the calendar year (the year when displayed as twelve months in order) during the time of the decemvirs about 450 BC.
July starts on the same day of the week as April every year, and January in leap years....
July's birthstone is the ruby which symbolizes contentment. Its birth flower is the Larkspur or the Water Lily.

INFORMATION ON THE FRONT COVER PICTURE
"The Laughing Sailor" a family favourite found at all English seaside resorts many years ago.
The aim of the magazine is to provide readers with various articles some serious some humorous so that there is something of interest for everyone. We have found since moving here from the South of Spain that there is a lack of places to promote and advertise any business you may have. We are therefore offering this magazine as a solution.
We welcome any suggestions of what you would like to see in the magazine as well as distribution areas we may have missed. Any articles of local interest or details of upcoming events can be submitted.

"moral and cultural progress of a country is measured from its treatment of animals"
URGENT ADOPTION REQUIRED CALLED ARCA TODAY A.R.C.A. (Association for Refuge and Taking care of the Animals) it is a non-profit association operating since the summer of year 2001. It is dedicated to protect and to defend the abandoned animals. They are a small number of volunteers who try to protect the well-being of the dogs and look after them until they can find a home for them. They try to make sure that they are adopted and they obtain the best possible home. Also they want to make people more responsible for the animals so that the quantity of abandonments is reduced. They also micro chip the dogs and sterilize them . At this moment they have 300 left dogs. They are in Tortosa in the province of Tarragona (Spain). But it does not matter where they come from nor the distance as the dogs need aid and the best aid is that they have shelter and food. All the material aid comes from the donations, thanks to them we can survive but with each new arrival the more donations are needed. If you want to donate to Arca if only by 5 € each month, minimum, please send an e-mail with your personal data and account number or call or write. Or just become a volunteer to help with the dogs. email: protectora.arca@wanadoo.es ARCA, Post office 496, Tortosa, (Tarragona) or contact: Maeve (English) 678 975 816 Cinta 625 915 605 Carmen 655 040 359

Susan 689 468752 English Isabel 977 404720 Spanish/ Catalan Donations always appreciated. NOW HOMED-These two puppies have been abandoned in the last two weeks. The one on the right is a female and the fluffy one is a male. They are about nine weeks old and will be quite big dogs. Unfortunately, due to their size, if homes are not found in the next few weeks they are likely to be with us for life! They are very friendly and used to people and are wormed and vaccinated. It's not their fault their mum's owner was irresponsible! Please help them. If you are interested in these or any other dog please phone: Lynn 638 731434 English Isabel 977 404720 Spanish/ Catalan Donations always appreciated.
