Jane Benney�

Born in Zimbabwe and raised mostly�in South Africa, Jane began performing on�stage at a very early age. As a pageant�winner and stage actress, she soon began�earning accolades for her talent. Jane landed�a lead role in her first feature film, Leon�Schuster's MR. BONES, which stands as the�highest-grossing South African film of all time.�

VIVA..�As a child growing up, did you always�dream of being in the entertainment�business, how did it all start?�Jane...I have always been involved in the�arts. From as early as I can remember I was�the little kid who dragged everyone outside�in the cold to watch a play that I was writer,�director, producer, actor, singer and dancer in.�I was very fortunate to have a mother who�fostered my love for the performing arts.�VIVA.�.I have done some research and read�that you where involved in the Television�Industry in South Africa as a presenter,�do you find the movie industry more�demanding, and is it an avenue that�you would like to persue?�Jane...Ever since i did my first feature film -�Mr Bones - the movie bug bit! I still love to�sing and dance, and hosting can be a lot of�fun, but acting in films and exploring that�process is what thrills me the most. I think�all avenues of the entertainment industry�are demanding. This job is not for the faint�of heart, or weak of spirit. There's a lot of�rejection, and a lot more hard work behind�the scenes, but the end result is so very�worth it!�VIVA..�Your latest movie All for Melissa,�what was it about the script that drew�you into accepting the part of Alicia?�Jane...I LOVE Romantic comedies, what�can i say, i am a hopeless romantic! The�director of All for Melissa loves that genre�too, and he created a film that was quirky�and sweet, and also paid homage to his�favorite Rom-coms. The character Alicia�is just the sweetest thing. Loyal, kind,�

VIVA..�Do you believe things happen for�a reason?�Jane...�Absolutely!!! We're all so much more�connected to each other and the world than�we could possibly fathom!�VIVA�..Is there anyone you would love�to work alongside?�Jane..�.So much so! Meryl Streep is�unbelievable. I know that everyone says�that, but she really profoundly impacted me�as a child... I think just to even see her in�real life would be extraordinary. I'm really�enjoying Freddy Rodriguez's performances,�Kate Winslet is a genius. I love love,�Chiwetel Ejiofor from "Love actually" and�"Dirty Pretty things". I would LOVE to work�with him! Put it this way, there are a TON�of people i'd love to work with! Way too�many to mention!�VIVA.�.You spend most of your time now�in Los Angeles, and home is in Hawaii,�what do you miss most when away from�Hawaii?�Jane...Oh my! Everything! The weather is just�gorgeous, the beaches are wonderful. The�things i miss the most though are more about�my friends and the people of Hawaii than�anything else. Everyone is so wonderfully laid�back... and so nice to each other on the roads.�Driving in LA as most people have heard is�frightening! People sure can get aggressive!�I try to spread the Aloha cheer on LA streets!�The world can always use a little more love!�VIVA.�. Did the love of your life sweep you�of your feet this Valentines Day?�Jane...�

loving. It's a great day when you leave a set,�and you're not emotionally drained, or you've�been playing an angry person all day! Not�that that isn't fun too... HAha!�

I don't believe in Valentines day! I call it�Hallmark day! Honestly though, i celebrate the�love of my life as often as i can! Luckily we're�both romantics! Each day is valentines day!�

Thank you Jane for taking the time out of�your busy schedule to have a chat.�We wish you every success with All for�Melissa!� Editor Viva Magazine�

WINNING THE COLD WAR NATURALLY by Joy Burnett�

With winter in full swing it is important to improve and maintain the�body's immune functioning and therefore our ability to ward off colds�and flu.�So many problems start with the common cold that it is best not to�ignore it and to start treating it at the first sign of a snuffle. It is the�result of a virus and we all know the awful symptoms it can present.�Eyes, ears, chest, head and nose can all be affected, sometimes�accompanied by sneezing, shivering and fever. Long term lung and�sinus congestion often result from an apparently common cold and�chronic catarrhal and lung conditions weaken the whole body.�

Take steps now towards prevention and treatment:� Increase your intake of vitamin C in the form of lots of fruit and�vegetables and take a vitamin C suppliment of at least 1000mg.�

The herbal remedy Echinacea is a tremendous boost to the immune�system this time of year.�

The Homeopathic remedies Kalium Muriaticum and Natrium�Muriaticum are recommended too.�

Hot elderflower, ginger, honey and lemon tea is also useful.�

Natural antibiotics such as garlic, fresh or in capsule�form give and extra boost.�

During a cold avoid dairy products, sugars and white�flour as these are all mucus producing.�

At the onset of a cold use an inhalation of Eucalyptus,�Chamomile, Tea Tree or Lavender 2 / 4 drops diluted�in hot water and inhaled directly with a towel over�your head, 4 /10 drops in a warm bath or 2 drops�straight onto a hankerchief.�

Ganando la Guerra Fría Naturalmente�

Con el invierno en plena actividad es importante mejorar y mantener�el sistema inmune funcionando a capacidad y así evitar la gripe y l�os resfriados. Muchos problemas comienzan con un simple resfriado�y es mejor no ignorarlos y tratarlos al primer síntoma de un estornudo.� Sabemos que el resfriado es el resultado de un virus y reconocemos�los síntomas atroces que pueden presentar. Los ojos, oídos, pecho,�la cabeza y la nariz suelen ser afectados acompañados de estornudos,�escalofríos y fiebre La congestión nasal y pulmonar crónicas muchas�veces como resultado debilitan todo nuestro cuerpo.�

Pasos para la Prevención y tratamiento:�Aumente la dosis de vitamina C consumiendo una mayor cantidad�de frutas y vegetales y tome un suplemento de vitamina C de por�lo menos 1000mg.�

La hierba Echinacea le dará un tremendo empujón al sistema� inmunológico en esta época del ano.�

Elderflower caliente, el jengibre, la miel y el té con�limón son también útiles.�

Antibióticos naturales como el ajo, fresco o en�cápsulas también ayudan.�Durante el resfriado evite productos lácteos, azucares�y harina blanca ya que todos ellos aumentan la�mucosidad.�Al comienzo de un resfriado haga una mezcla de�eucalipto, camomila, y 2 a 4 gotas de lavanda diluidas�en agua caliente y aspire directamente poniéndose una�toalla sobre a cabeza, o ponga 4-10 gotas de la mezcla�en la bañera o un par de gotas directamente en un�pañuelo.�

Olive Pecan Spread�8 oz crema de queso,suavizado�½ taza de mayonesa�1 (5 onzas) frasco de aceitunas verdes escurridas a trocitos ,�1 taza de pecanas picadas toscamente�

RECEIPE /RECETA�

The benefits of an Olive�Olives are concentrated in monounsaturated fats and a good source of�vitamin E. Because mono-unsaturated fats are less easily damaged than�polyunsaturated fats, it's good to have some in our cells' outer membranes�and other cell structures that contain fats, such as the membranes that�surround the cell's DNA and each of its energy-producing mitochondria.�

The stability of monounsaturated fats translates�into a protective effect on the cell that, especially�when combined with the antioxidant protection�offered by vitamin E, can lower the risk of damage�and inflammation. In addition to vitamin E,�olives contain a variety of beneficial active�phytonutrient compounds including polyphenols�and flavonoids, which also appear to have�significant anti-inflammatory properties.�

Protection From Heart Disease�Free radical damage can lead to numerous�ailments. For example, when free radicals�cause the oxidation of cholesterol, the oxidized�cholesterol damages blood vessels and builds�up in arteries, and can eventually lead to heart�attack or stroke. So, by preventing the oxidation�of cholesterol, the nutrients in olives help to�prevent heart disease.�

Beneficial Anti-Inflammatory Effects�The anti-inflammatory actions of the monounsaturated fats, vitamin�E and polyphenols in olives may also help reduce the severity of�asthma, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, three conditions�where most of the damage is caused by high levels of free radicals.�The vitamin E in olives may even help to reduce the frequency and/or�intensity of hot flashes in women going through menopause.�

Why shop locally?�Shopping, for most of us, is simply another chore. We trudge around the large�indoor shopping centres and tend to fill our trolleys with what we really do not even�need, we buy simply because it is there. Shopping locally in small local shops can�be economical, and not costly as a lot of us may think. Fresh produce available�daily you can choose to buy as much or as little as you need. The benefit of�shopping centres are great in that on a cold wet day, what better place to be.�

Here in Spain we have glorious weather most of the time, so why not get out into�the plazas, have a look at what our local�shops and businesses have to offer.�

So what the benefits of shopping locally?�Fresh daily produce, a smile across the�the counter and even a few words,�personal service, advice on what to buy� (for those of us who are not sure),�purchase as little or as much as you want,�and of course we can window-shop,�and stop in the plaza for a refreshment.�Supporting local business is what we�should all be doing, without our small�local shops we can very easily loose a�community.�

Next time you go shopping, take a stroll�around town, have a look at what is on�offer.�

Support your local business community,�they are here for you!� Del 2 de febrero al 30 de abril de 2009�

The first tranche of tickets for the long-awaited�2010 Fifa World Cup�are now on sale. Each to�be administered differently to give all fans an�equal chance of securing tickets.�

Phase One� runs from 20 February until�31 March 2009. In this phase football fans�are required to submit an application form for�their tickets. There are two ways to do this -�first, apply for their tickets online at Fifa's website by signing up for the Fifa.com�Club. This applies to both international and local fans. Alternatively, South African�residents may go to any First National Bank (FNB) branch and submit�their applications in person. Those applying online must have credit card details�ready. Once all applications have been processed, a text message will be sent�to all applicants to advise them of the success or failure of their bid. If successful,�the relevant credit card must be used to collect printed tickets at stadiums and�other designated points in each of the nine host cities. These points will only be�operational from April 2010. The total value will be deducted from the credit card�only if the application is approved.�Those applying at FNB branches must have the funds ready as they will be�required to pay upfront. All applicants will receive an FNB Visa Zakumi Prepaid�Card, to the value of the tickets purchased. The green-haired leopard Zakumi is�the official mascot of the 2010 sporting spectacle.�Again, applicants will receive a text message to advise them whether their bid�has been successful or not. If successful, the prepaid card must be used to�collect printed tickets at stadiums and other designated points in the nine host�cities. If unsuccessful, the money on the card may be used at any Visa retailer�in South Africa, or may be refunded at any FNB branch.�All applications received during this phase will be processed at the same time,�and every fan who registers correctly will have an equal chance, so it makes no�difference whether bids are submitted on the first or last day of the phase.�If there are more tickets than applications, all applications will succeed and there�will be no disappointed fans. If there are more applications than tickets, a random�draw scheduled for 15 April 2009 will ensure that tickets are allocated fairly.�Phase Two� runs from 4 May to 16 November 2009. These applications will be�processed on a first come, first served basis, so time will be of the essence.�Phase Three� runs from 5 December 2009 to 22 January 2010, when tickets will�be allocated through a random draw on 1 February of that year.�Phase Four� runs from 9 February to 7 April 2010. As in Phase Two, tickets will�be allocated in the order in which applications are received - the earlier the�better.�Phase Five� runs from 15 April to 11 June 2010, in the last-minute sales phase.�Application forms will not be used; instead, tickets may be bought in real time -�subject to availability - on the Fifa website and at FNB branches.�

Exhilaration and Big�smiles all round after�a successful shark�cage dive.�

Big fish, big teeth, big bucks�Want to go eyeball to eyeball with a great white shark? Most of us are terrified�of sharks, but a new South African industry is making good money by dropping�people into the ocean, in a cage, to get up close to the big fish. And, at the same�time, helping to preserve these ancient and magnificent creatures.�For those who want to get up and personal�with a great white, there is no better place�in the world than Gansbaai, near Cape�Town in the Western Cape. This once-�sleepy little fishing village is close to an�enormous Cape fur seal colony, which�becomes a seasonal larder for a large�transient population of great white sharks.�And these, in turn, support a burgeoning�shark cage diving industry.�(While Gansbaai is the centre of the�industry, there is also one operator in�False Bay in Cape Town and one in�Mossel Bay.)�Before the dive you are given a comprehensive briefing that includes essential�safety information as well as detailed information about the sharks and the�general marine environment. You then head out to sea in one of the big, stable�cage diving boats. www.mediaclubsouthafrica.com�

Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman,�Matt Damon … top box office earners are�headed for South Africa in 2009, as Cape�Town ramps up its growing reputation as�the Hollywood of Africa.�The city has been an increasingly popular�location for filmmakers since South Africa�was welcomed back into the global�community in 1994. Over 50 major�

productions – feature films and TV series – were shot in Cape Town in the five�years from 2003 to 2007, including Blood Diamond, Rendition and 10 000 BC.�In 2008 no less than 22 productions were filmed in the city. Clint Eastwood is to�direct The Human Factor, an adaptation of John Carlin’s book The Human�Factor: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Changed the World. It tells the�story of South Africa’s victory, on home turf, in the 1995 Rugby World Cup,�when Mandela and rugby captain Francois Pienaar united to inspire�reconciliation between black and white South Africans – only a year after the�end of apartheid. Mandela is to be played by Morgan Freeman, whose previous�productions include The Dark Knight, Evan Almighty and Lucky Number Slevin,�while Oscar-winner Matt Damon – star of The Departed, Ocean's Thirteen and�The Bourne Ultimatum – will play Pienaar.�

Wally Cannon - in the kitchen and into the fridge�It is pretty easy to put together. I am basically taking an approach that is used all over Europe –�find some stuff in the house and make a snack for the family.�

Ingredients�- 2 Store bought 9” pie crust.�- 8 eggs (be prepared to separate the yolks and whites).�- ½ lb of Pastrami�- Mushrooms, we have Portobello and Button.�- One Red Onion�- 2 Carrots�- Ricotta Cheese�- Shredded American�- Spices and Herbs�- Basil�- Oregano�- Allspice�- Thyme�- Salt and Pepper (pinches)�- Baking Powder (2 pinches)�

I happen to have a food processor so some of the stuff goes a little faster, but this is a quick dish.�

Slice the following ingredients into thin strips – Pastrami, Potato, Carrots, Onion, Mushrooms.�You need to let the Pastrami, Onions and Mushrooms “sweat” a little in a pan on the stove –�no frying, just need to cook them up a little – the mushrooms have a lot of water, want to get�some of them out. Take off the heat and let cool while you prepare the wet portion.�

Separate Eggs Yolks and Whites in a bowl (or food processor) beat 8 egg yolks and 4 whites�while adding the spices and herbs. In another bowl, beat the whites (till frothy but peaks�are not required).�

In large bowl, combine Eggs, Ricotta Cheese with the Pastrami, Onions and Mushrooms while�adding the baking powder for thickening and to add a little rise. Take the pie pans,�light coat them with olive oil and poke a few holes in them with a fork for air.�Place the Potatoes and Carrots in the bottom and cover with the Egg / Cheese / Mushroom /�Pastrami mixture. Cover with the Shredded American.�

Now they are ready for the preheated oven (350 degrees – F) – you only need about 10-15�minutes. They will be come golden brown. Take them out – let cool, slice and serve.�

Enjoy!�

The Ricote Valley was the last Moorish�redoubt in Spanish Levante. This is�one of the most beautiful and undiscovered�parts of the fertile irrigated plains�around the River Segura. The towns of�Ricote, Ojós, Abarán, Blanca, Ulea,�Villanueva del Segura and Archena,�surrounded by fruit and citrus orchards,�transport us to an ideal world.�A fertile plain that clings to its Arab heritage,�as shown by the numerous remains from�this period, including its irrigation systems.�Ricote maintains a rich gastronomical�tradition in which the local wine is the�protagonist. Blanca has retained its legacy�as a producer of esparto grass.�

DISCOVER MURCIA ,SPAIN� VALLE DE RICOTE�

In Abarán, visitors can follow a route that�will lead them to four of the many�waterwheels, or "ñoras" as they are known�in the area, which transport water from the�river to irrigate the most distant plains. From�this area the landscape changes and we�enter a more open area famous for its fruit�orchards, particularly peach, and its�contrasting landscapes, making it particularly�attractive for engaging in sports such as�hiking, BTT or rock climbing. Other open-air�sports that can be pursued here include�rafting on the River Segura or horse-riding�along routes offered by various horse riding�centres. Visitors can find a range of�accommodation in the form of typical rural�properties, imbued with the wealth of�pleasures offered by the Ricote Valley.�

Most small towns have friendly mayors who�are willing to help the stranger to settle in.�They also endeavour to protect the countryside but allow the public to use the protected areas.�(In the outskirts of most towns there are recreational areas withvBBQ fireplaces, tables and�benches for public use), hiking trails are well marked, canoeing and kayaking is permitted on�the rivers and lakes, horse riding is encouraged, etc.�Editorial supplied by Old Farmhouses Spain, www.oldfarmhouses.es Tel:� (0034) 968 15 92 64�
