Mayor of Estepona (centre) with directors and employees of Selwo Aventura.
Tourism prize for Selwo Aventura
THE mayor of Estepona, Jose Maria Garcia Urbano, has presented the Tourism Prize for 2014 to the Parques Reunidos Company, which is responsible for Selwo Aventura, for its part in promoting the town. The park has been open since 1999 and has had an important economic impact on the town due to the number of tourists it attracts every summer. The councillor thanked the director of the park, Maria Jose Marañon, and all of her
team who have played such an important role in raising Estepona’s profile. Garcia Urbano went on to say: “Selwo is a leisure activity which generates employment for the town and which differentiates our town’s offer for tourists.” He also underlined the fact that the summer camps and youth activities which Selwo organises, help to make the youth more aware of the need to respect the environment.

HE last week in August marks the beginning of Spain’s oldest Bull Run. The Encierros de Cuellar (Cuellar bull runs) in Segovia date back to before 1215 when there was an argument raging between the Catholic Church and its bishops in the area. The bishops wanted to attend the bullfighting festivities, which took place on the outskirts of the town, but the Church considered it ‘undignified’ and so their attendance was banned. The bishops then found a loophole in the new regulations and this was that they could attend if the entirety

of the festivities took place in the centre of the town. For this to be possible, and for the bishops to obey the edict of the Church, the herd had to be brought into the centre and set off from there. Thus was born the first of the Encierros, with the people of the town helping to take the bulls from one part of the centre of the town to its bullring. The modern-day bull runs are not dissimilar to the ones of the 13th century, one of the few differences being that these days they take place as part of the Feria of Cuellar and the Catholic Church does not mind if its bishops attend.

OBJECTIVE: Marbella delegation heading to New York.
Mission to New York
From Front Page This is not the first time that Marbella has tried to take a bite out of the Big Apple; in 2010 Mayor Muñoz visited the city to try to attract investors but didn’t have very much success. This time things will be different, assured Muñoz. She has a hectic four-day schedule in which she will be meeting key companies which actually have the power to make a difference to the town. After all, if Marbella is good enough for the First Lady, then it should be good enough for other Americans.
TWO Local Police officers in Mijas have saved a twoyear-old boy who fell into a swimming pool. The boy’s grandfather, a Russian, said the boy was under the water for between one and two minutes so the officers performed basic lifesaving techniques while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. The incident took place in the community pool of the urbanisation where the grandfather lives. He lost track of the boy for just a few minutes and then saw him in the pool and immediately fished him out and called the emergency services. The police were the first to arrive on the scene and took charge, performing first aid until the medics arrived, stabilised the boy and took him to the Costa del Sol hospital.

HANDBAGS AND SUNGLASSES: Among the items stolen.
NATIONAL POLICE in Malaga have dismantled an itinerant gang which specialised in stealing and pickpocketing while their victims were distracted. Seven people have been detained, one of them a minor. Among those detained is the person considered to be the leader of the gang and another two people who have cases pending for very similar crimes. During the investigations police raided two residences of members of the gang and confiscated, among other things, €1,150 in cash, eight smart phones, bank documents,
13 pairs of top of the range sunglasses and handbags, a camera and a gold watch. Police investigations began in the middle of July when they became aware of the presence of a gang whose MO was always the same: they would go to places where there were a lot of people and use this as a distraction to steal from tourists who weren’t paying attention to their things. On one occasion they waited by a cash point and stole from the people who they knew to be carrying cash. So far the police have been able to connect the gang to around 13 different thefts.

Users of the social media website have denounced the advice as chauvinistic and laying the blame on the victims.

The PSOE secretary for equality, Carmen Monton, commented that the attitude of the government was outdated and would get them nowhere in the modern world and agreed with a tweet which had come in stating “Instead of teaching women how not to be raped, why don’t we teach men not to rape?”

Police grab bull by the horns POLICE have uncovered a marihuana plantation in a private bullring in the Almogía area of Malaga. The ‘plaza de toros’ (bullring), is located within the grounds of a country estate in Los Pilones. It had effectively been converted into an enormous greenhouse housing hundreds of marihuana plants, with plastic sheeting covering the arena. The operation, codenamed ‘verde y oro’ (green and gold), resulted in six arrests, among them an ex PSOE (socialist) councillor, Manuel Aranda. Aranda is the brother of Diego, an Izquierda
Unida political party member arrested last April after police found 180 marihuana plants in his home. The case was dropped when the judge considered that no crime had been committed. Sources close to the socialist politician have stated that Manuel Aranda is in no way connected to the plantation found at Los Pilones, and that he did not even have access to the estate. In a statement they said: “[Manuel Aranda] was only lending a hand to the tenants by helping to maintain solar panels and a water well on the property due to his friendship with
the estate’s owners.” The police’s suspicions were raised when they noticed the plastic sheeting covering the bullring, and a man patrolling the boundaries of the farm. After months of investigation, Coín’s Judicial Police together with customs officers launched a raid on the estate, and discovered an organised operation that points to the cultivation of the drug for shipment abroad. The raid produced six arrests including Aranda, 500 growing marihuana plants and a large quantity of cut plants. Initial estimates report over 50 kilos of marihuana were seized.

Murdered journalist never to be forgotten THERE is a black ribbon on the front of the Euro Weekly News today. There is another at the top of the page that has been left blank for the journalist James Foley. His family and friends are in mourning because he was murdered in Syria by an IS jihadist with a London accent. He was a hostage killed in cold blood because he was an American, because he had a brother in the US air force, but he was also slaughtered because he was a journalist. So the Euro Weekly News is in mourning, too, for James Foley and is donating a page in his memory. We now ask the world media to come together and follow suit by donating the cost of a full page in their respective newspapers. James Foley risked his life by going to Syria and was taken hostage while
doing his job. Fanatics and oppressors fear journalists because swords kill, but the words they write and speak outlive them. Once those words have been absorbed, there is no effective way to erase them from the mind of a reader, a listener, a viewer. It is hoped to use the money that is raised to fund a ‘James Foley Scholarship’ to assist young journalists who are taking their first steps in the profession. Please help us to ensure that James is not forgotten. Help us to celebrate his life and what he achieved with the full support of the world press.

Take care around the pool THE tragic death of a two-year-old boy in a Mijas, Andalucia, swimming pool has thrown into sharp focus the issue of swimming pool safety. Part of the dream of living in the warm sunshine of Spain is access to an outdoor swimming pool. The pleasure of splashing into the pool, floating on a lilo, doing a couple of laps and putting the week’s stresses behind you is a great reward. However, with pool ownership comes great responsibility. Children are naturally drawn to water, but it is impossible for a parent to watch a child every single moment of their life. It only takes a second for an accident to happen and the results can be devastating. Installing a pool safety fence gives you, your family and if you rent out your villa, your guests, peace of mind. In the most basic common sense terms, if a child cannot get close to the pool, then they simply cannot get in. Community pools are regulated throughout Spain, with specifics on
Euro Weekly News offer the advice below. Cut it out, keep it safe, think of that little bit more you can do to ensure that your pool is safe for your family and all your visitors.
Pool safety hints:
POOL SAFETY: Private pools should have a safety fence and a gate. the height of fences, gates, child proof locks and no climbing areas, but private pools are not. Euro Weekly News believes that this situation has gone on long enough, the life of a child is far beyond that of a removable fence and lockable gate. A safety fence around your pool is entirely sensible, it affords protection for children and small pets, it is a moral issue for many owners who know they have done
all they can to prevent accidents. In France, the law states that all private pools should be equipped with a safety fence and gate with a self-closing latch, failure to comply carries fines of up to €220,000. We call on our readers to call, email, text, whatsapp and that old fashioned mode of communication, write a letter to their political representatives and demand that Spain adopt an enforceable policy similar to that of France.
• Secure your pool with appropriate barriers. Surround your pool with a four-foot high fence or barrier with a selfclosing, self-latching gate. Place a safety cover over the pool or hot tub when you are not using it and remove any ladders or steps that you use for access. • Keep children under active supervision at all times. Stay in arm’s reach of younger children. Select a responsible person to watch the water when the pool is in use - never allow children or weak swimmers to swim alone. Have young or inexperienced swimmers wear a floatie if playing near the pool. • Ensure everyone in the home knows how to swim. Take pleasure in teaching those who can’t swim how to, or, if too busy enrol them in a local swimming class. • Enforce rules and safe behaviour, such as ‘no diving,’ ‘stay away from drain covers,’ ‘swim with a friend’ and ‘no running.’ • Make sure everyone in the home knows how to respond to emergencies by having appropriate safety equipment and taking water safety, first aid and Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) courses.

Join EWN and say NO to sexism and YES to equality for women FURTHER controversy over the Spanish political establishment’s outdated views on women and sexual assault has arisen after comments made by a mayor to a radio station that seem to disparage accusations of rape. Francisco Javier León de la Riva, the Partido Popular (PP) mayor of Valladolid in central Spain, has been forced to apologise for comments made to the Onda Cero radio station on Thursday about women falsely accusing men of rape. The mayor said he would think twice about getting into a lift alone with a woman for fear of false cries of rape. Referring to a recent unsolved case in his city, De la Riva wholeheartedly condemned all forms of violence, but said it was
impossible to station a police officer in every park, and that women should think carefully about where they go at 6 o’clock in the morning. He added: “Sometimes it’s the other way around. Imagine you are in a lift with a girl who is out to get you. She rips off her bra or skirt and runs out screaming that you tried to assault her.” Reaction to the mayor’s comments was fierce and immediate, with some taking to social media to demand his resignation. On Friday, Valladolid Town Council issued a statement through Twitter, saying: “The mayor wishes to clarify his words which have been misinterpreted and taken out of context. He apologises for any offence caused.”

has not actually apologised for what he said. Instead, he has placed the blame on others (women, perhaps?) for ‘misinterpreting’ his words. At the EWN group, we are concerned that the outdated views of men
in high places, just like Mayor de la Riva, are contributing to the continued erosion of women’s rights. Until society is reconciled to the fact that a woman’s body is owned by no one but the woman herself, that
she has the right to wear what she likes; has the right to go where she likes; and has the right to do what she likes without fearing lewd stares and sexual violence, EWN will continue to campaign for equality. Equality in the workplace, equality at home, and equality in public places. Instead of telling our daughters what not to wear, we should show our sons how to respect their female peers.

Hola Credito cooks up a restaurant expansion Welcome to the weekly news from Hola Credito, Spain’s leading short-term lender. In our weekly column we look at different lending solutions that Hola Credito offers. This week: a business loan from Hola Credito helps a restaurant business to grow. TIMING is critical in making the most of business opportunities, especially in the highly competitive restaurant trade. Hola Credito was able to help one Madridbased client refurbish his restaurant, increasing the number of diners he could cater for and his profits at the same time. “Our restaurant has been doing very well, full most nights, and very popular with locals and tourists alike,” said the client. “But we have been running out of space in the kitchens and also wanted to update a balcony area and add more tables there. Traditional lenders are really nervous about the restaurant trade, and our bank was taking too long to approve a loan. We needed to act quickly.” The client had heard about Hola Credito from a business colleague who had used it for a short-term loan, and emailed for advice. He suggested using his Classic 1964 Mustang as security for a loan, and was amazed at how fast the company
agreed. “I was able to finish the refit and expansion in less than four weeks, and the terms of the agreement were really good. In our trade, cash flow is everything, so the Hola Credito loan really helped us take our business a step further.” Puerta Banus based Hola Credito (www.holacredito.com) operates throughout Spain, using reliable, secure courier services. As an online company with low overheads it can offer its clients exceptional interest rates, which it calculates daily, so clients only pay interest for the time they need the loan. Hola Credito accepts a range of luxury assets as security for loans, like watches, jewellery, luxury cars and boats, which are all valued by experienced professionals. All items are stored in secure conditions, and once the loan is repaid the items are returned using the same discreet, secure process.

They then approached him and stole his possessions. The man even gave descriptions of the two ‘assailants’ and what they were wearing.

Benalmadena pay tribute to Isco BENALMADENA is to pay tribute to local footballer Francisco Alarcon ‘Isco.’ Council authorities unanimously passed a resolution to rename the municipal football field El Tomillar after Real Madrid footballer ‘Isco’ who was born in Arroyo de la Miel in 1992. “Isco is one of the best sport ambassadors Benalmadena has. The success he enjoys has put our municipality on the map, especially in the world of football,” said Mayor Paloma Garcia Galvez.
After playing for Malaga CF between 2011 and 2013, Isco signed a five-year contract with Real Madrid before the start of the 2013-2014 season of La Liga and has since won a Champions League, a Copa Del Rey and a UEFA Super Cup. “There is no doubt Francisco Alarcon is the best sportsman ever born in our town. His achievements in the world of sports are unquestionable, but Isco is more than that. He is still that little boy that would spend the afternoon playing football on Calle Las Flores and a quality player thanks to his perseverance and the sacrifices he has made,” said Citizens’ Participation these discounts and not the Councillor Ana Macias. “Isco has not forgotten residents of Estepona,” commented the PSOE where he comes from or (socialist party) delegate his childhood friends. “He has shown the for the town Julian Lopez.

Ask the Optician - How do contact lenses work?
CONTACT lenses are really popular in the summer, when people want to play sports, enjoy nights out and wear fashion sunglasses, so in this month’s article we wanted to give you an overview about what they are, how they work and how you can care for them. What are contact lenses? Contact lenses are very thin, domed discs made up of complex plastic materials. They are positioned in front of the transparent outer layer of the eye called the cornea to focus images onto the retina at the back of the eye in the same way that a spectacle lens does. They stay in place by floating on the film of tear fluid covering the surface of the eye and are practically invisible when worn. Who can use them? Contact lenses are available to correct most conditions for which glasses are prescribed, including long and short sight,
presbyopia and astigmatism and almost everyone can use them comfortably and safely. What are the most popular type of lenses? Soft contact lenses - they are very pliable and soft, which makes them easy to get used to and comfortable to wear, although they do need careful handling. Soft contact lenses cannot be dislodged very easily from the eye so they are ideal for sport. How should you care for them? Keep them really clean, read the instructions carefully and make sure you follow them properly in order to avoid complications and make sure you are replacing them as frequently as necessary. Specsavers Opticas offer contact lens health checks, lifestyle advice and also a free trial so you can make sure that the lenses suit you before you buy. www.specsavers.es

The hotel, Naturplaya, is part of the INF (Spanish and International Federation of Nudism) and has had great success due to its privileged location, near Sa Canova de Arta, and for its tranquillity. Alvaro Segura, director of the hotel, commented that the average stay is of two weeks on half board at a price of between €1,200 and €1,600. The average
guests are usually couples in their fifties who are looking for a quiet time to commune with nature. Despite being a nudist hotel clothes are not optional everywhere, for hygienic reasons they must be worn in the restaurants and main reception everywhere else, the pool or gardens, they are optional. Segura commented that the islands could become a popular tourism destination for nudists as they have everything to offer this sector of the industry.

A note from the
Editor
Still living on a different planet
W
HAT planet do they live on? Politicians, that is. A furore has been caused by official Ministry guidelines on how to avoid rape. Measures include having a whistle with which to summon help, avoiding using lifts if there is a stranger in them and sitting near the driver on empty buses. Campaigners on gender issues point out that this advice seems to put the blame for attacks on the victims rather than the perpetrators. Then to compound the controversy, Francisco Javier León de la Riva, the Partido Popular mayor of Valladolid, made comments on radio that appeared to denigrate women’s accusations of rape. He said that he would think twice before getting into a lift with a woman for fear of being falsely accused of rape. He was forced to apologise. This raises the wider issue of how
sexist is ‘macho’ Spain. Although women certainly have more freedom then they did a few decades ago, and there are many women in the professions, business and politics, old attitudes still persist. A woman’s place continues to be in the home for many, even when they work as well. It is women who have to look after the home and bring up the children, that is just the way it is. And for far too many men, women are still viewed as a possession. At its worst, that leads to the disgraceful toll of domestic violence in Spain. If a woman is ‘disobedient’ many men view it as only too natural to turn to violence, with appalling results. So far this year in Spain, 38 women have died at the hands of their partners or ex-partners. That will continue as long as StoneAge attitudes persist. Politicians should be trying to change those attitudes, not espousing them.

She added that she believes in the transformational power of personal development. “Your inner self has to be on point so that what comes out creatively isn’t distorted,” she explained, adding that forgiveness has been one of her greatest life lessons. “I’ve also learned that actions should be based on working towards the greater good.

Health service a real shock for pensioner DESPITE having always been more than happy with the Spanish health system, I feel duty bound to warn people of a most worrying occurrence. A neighbour of mine who has grave medical problems was sent by ambulance by the local clinic to El Toyo hospital. On presenting her social security card she and her friend were informed that her treatment would not be covered and that she would have to pay. The hospital did a scan and transferred her to Torre Cadenas hospital where the crisis was resolved. Currently back in Torre Cadenas, a registered letter arrived at her home address invoicing her for in excess of €600, covering two ambulance journeys, scan and observation. She has been a resident here for more than eight years and has ‘residencia.’ She is on the padron, is a pensioner, a tax-payer, registered disabled and in receipt of home help as authorised by the Spanish social worker. The bill she received claimed that if she didn’t pay in full within 15 days the money would be deducted from her bank account. Only threat of legal action by her friend, a fluent Spanish speaker, has averted this charge. Be warned! Obviously the economic situation in Spain is bad, but preying on and discriminating against vulnerable people is not to be tolerated, particularly when the British Government is paying into this country’s social security system on our behalf.

Long way round I AM faced with a quandary: do I sell my property in Mallorca or not? The reason for the quandary is the lack of direct flights from Glasgow after October.

Figure it out THE Arabs invented zero? Complete ignorant nonsense from the politically correct brigade. The concept of zero, along with true algebra and the 10 base (decimal) system was invented around 630AD by the Indian mathematician Bramagupta. Arabs trading with India referred to the decimal system as ‘Indian figures.’ The truth regarding all the rubbish spouted about Arab science, medicine, architecture is just that: rubbish. All these things
already existed in the RomanoGreek societies of the Middle East, North Africa and Spain and were stolen by the invading Muslims and claimed as their own. Desmond Johnson (by email)
Word play HOW fickle we are when it comes to defining freedom fighters and terrorists! In the Second World War the French resistance carried out heroic deeds against the Nazi occupying forces who had virtually made them prisoners in their own land. I imagine Adolph considered them to be terrorists. Ah! But we won. The Palestinians trapped in the Gaza strip with no hope for any kind of future fight back against the oppressors but they are (officially) terrorists not only according to the Israelis but also Nobel Peace prize winner Barack Obama.

A FRIEND and I, chatting in English waiting in the x-ray department of our area’s Specialist centre, were approached by a woman with a bandaged leg. She looked like a tourist and wanted to know how to get hold of her x-ray plates. She was sent there by the local health centre after her ankle, twisted a couple of days earlier, had swelled alarmingly. She had been told to return with the x-ray results, she said. I went to the information desk and asked on her behalf, but learnt that doctors access x-rays online and plates are not usually developed. Off she went, slightly put out, as she was already irritated after having been warned by the Urgencias doctor not to put her weight on her foot. If she wanted to walk on it she should get crutches, she was advised. On asking for crutches, she was told to hire them from one of the many establishments specialising in this type of thing. It was a disgrace, she moaned. Now I was irritated: “Do you know how much a private x-ray and consultation would have cost you?” I asked. She shrugged and had the grace to look a little shamefaced. I think she’d already done pretty well out of our system, don’t you? (Name and address supplied)

Sareb ends first half of 2014 with €1.6 billion in revenues SAREB closed the first six months of 2014 with an impressive €1.6 billion in revenues. As much as 74 per cent comes from both the sale

the management of assets transferred by BFA-Bankia, Catalunya Banc, NGC Banco-Banco Gallero and Banco de Valencia. It acquires property development loans from Spanish banks in return for government bonds. Debt cancellation during the first half of 2014 added up to €1.6 billion.

Moreover, Sareb sold 8,104 properties until late June through retail channels and the target for 2014 is 11,000 properties. “Data confirms the strengthening of the management company as one of the major players in the real estate market,” said Sareb.

CONSTRUCTION SECTOR: It rose by 7.0 per cent in second quarter.
Construction increasing CONSTRUCTION in Spain increased by 7 per cent in the second quarter of 2014. According to recent estimates made by Eurostat, the statistics office of the European Union, no other country in the EU increased its construction output like Spain thanks to a 7 per cent increase between April and June. In addition, Spain was also the fourth country in the EU with the sharpest increase in its construction output in June (+6.8 per cent). However, Spain saw a 2.9 per cent decline in its construction sector on a month-on-month basis compared to May and this represented the second largest
decline seen in the EU. Both in the EU and the Eurozone, construction output is said to have fallen by 0.6 per cent between April and June 2014, while it dropped by 0.5 per cent on a yearon-year basis in the EU and by as much as 2.3 per cent in the Eurozone. In monthly terms, the most substantial decreases in construction output were witnessed in Hungary (-7.5 per cent), Spain (-2.9 per cent), Romania (-2.6 per cent) and Slovakia (-2.3 per cent), while the largest increases were registered in Poland (+2.7 per cent), Germany (+1.2 per cent) and Czech Republic/UK (+1.1 per cent).
Property sales in Spain on the up PROPERTY sales in Spain have increased, though prices continue their downward trend. According to the latest data released by Spanish notaries, transactions in Spain have grown by 16 per cent compared to 2014. However, figures also indicate that property prices have dropped by 5.7 per cent. Despite that, real-estate experts agree that the Spanish property market will continue to recover. On the other hand, apartment sales increased by 11.6 per cent and the average square metre price is estimated at â‚Ź1,214, which represents a 5.7 per cent decrease when compared to 2013 and a 35.7 per cent price

between the number of properties sold between January and June 2014 and the number of transactions in that same seven-month period in 2013, with 29,171 this year and 27,958 a year ago.

Work and family life MORE than 97 per cent of Spanish women work on parttime contracts. Many struggle to combine family responsibilities with the need to bring in money but find some companies are more accommodating than others. Repsol, which has 1,200 employees working from home,
is the best Spanish company in this respect and encourages teleworking, found an International Institute of Political Science survey. Dairy products company Leche Pascual came second for its teleworking scheme, flexi-hours and reduced working days. Vodafone was third, again
Freight train blues as sector shrinks SPAIN’S rail freight sector shrank by half in the last decade while Europe’s increased by 4 per cent. Progress is being hindered in a strategically important sector, say the country’s seven independent freight operators. They lay the blame squarely on state rail operator Renfe, which they accuse of disloyal competition since the 2006 deregulation. “Renfe Freight practises predatory and disproportionate price strategies that have plunged the sector into an untenable situation,” said Juan Diego Pedrero, director of the
Association of Private Railway Companies (AEFP). Despite multimillion losses these are offset by Renfe’s other operations, Pedrero complained. Renfe Freight had restricted the development of private sector operators, he said, allowing them to acquire only 20 per cent of the market since 2006. Neither was deregulation accompanied by better infrastructure, Pedrero continued. Spain’s track width is different, sidings are too short for foreign trains and timetables are incompatible with international logistics, he said.

An open and shut case THE Spanish government has not advised Brussels of the possible reopening of the Garoña nuclear power station. The plant was closed down in December 2012 and formally decommissioned in July last year. Nuclenor, jointly owned by Iberdrola and Endesa, have now applied for an operating licence valid until 2031.
The Commission is aware of changes in Spanish legislation that allow an operator to apply for a new licence within a year of shutdown, said Energy commissioner Gunther Oettinger. Any decision now rests with the Spanish government acting on the recommendations of the Nuclear Safety Council (NSC), Oettinger explained.

Lost cigarette duty going up in smoke CIGARETTE sales fell by 47 per cent in Spain over the last five years. Twenty-four per cent of the Spanish population aged over 15 admitted to the 2012 National Health Survey that they smoke each day, compared to almost 30 per cent in 2000. Partly this is due to the success of anti-smoking laws and greater awareness of the health risks involved. But increased tax on cigarettes, a steady source of income for governments everywhere, has done as much as either of the former to discourage smoking. A KPMG survey for leading cigarette companies found that 8.8 per cent of the cigarettes smoked in Spain are contraband. When added
to tobacco brought legally into the country by travellers, this means that no tax is paid on 11.3 per cent of all cigarettes smoked in Spain. That in turn means that the taxman loses out on €718 million a year. Meanwhile, low-cost brands account for 11 per cent of the market with best-selling makes like Elixyr, Golden America or Winfield costing between €3.95 and €4.10 for 20, compared to €4.8 charged for Marlboro over the counter or €4.95 from a machine. Cheaper lines were once overlooked by the big cigarette companies, but Altadis - formerly Spanishowned and now part of Imperial Tobacco - has seen sales of the relatively cheap Brooklyn brand soar.
CIGARETTE SALES: Have fallen by 47 per cent in Spain over past five years. Like Fortuna, they are made in Logroño at the last cigarette factory on the Spanish mainland; a further factory remains open in Cantabria although this manufactures cigars. In 2009, Altadis made and sold 2.5 million packets of Brooklyn - just 0.06 per cent of the Spanish market - worth €6.7 million. By 2013, this had
risen to 38.1 million packets with sales of €148.4 million and a market share of 1.6 per cent. The Logroño factory now employs 560 staff, compared with 650 in the past, prompting Altadis CEO Juan Arrizabalaga to admit that he “fears” for its future. Not from
the point of view of profitability, as it is one of the most productive Imperial Tobacco factories. What most worries Arrizabalaga are those changing habits: the market is shrinking, he explained to a Spanish interviewer, and Europe could soon need fewer factories.
An advertising spin… EXPORTS UP: Although foreign demand has slowed down.
No need to mind the gap SPAIN’S trade gap rose to €11.9 billion in the first six months of this year. That is twice as much as during the same period last year, the Economy ministry announced. Although exports increased by 0.5 per cent to €119.3 billion, an all-time high since records were first kept in 1971, imports totalled €131.1 billion. There has been a cutback in foreign demand in recent months, analysts explained, owing to an economic slowdown in Germany, France and Italy. Added to the continuing dispute with Russia, this
brought a 1.2 per cent reduction in exports in June. European ‘lethargy’ did little to assist exports, said junior Trade minister Jaime Garcia Legaz who admitted that if Europe failed to grow it would be difficult to reach the export levels of the preceding years. Despite the apparent slowdown last June was Spain’s second-best ever, he emphasised, with exports of €20.6 billion, compared to €15.6 billion at the onset of the economic crisis in 2008. The country’s exports had also remained stable.
THERE is no such thing as a guaranteed return on advertising. All you can do is set your stall out leaving every box ticked. The ability to catch on to something popular is often down to luck, but if you are not in the game you cannot win. Barely scratching a living, a young salesman was asked by his supplier if he was interested in selling hoops without sticks to propel them. Its purpose was explained to him: “You place it around your waist and by gyrating you keep it from falling. This was fun,” he was told. “It also slimmed the waist. The ladies would love it.” The salesman was cynical but added it to his wares. During his calls on retailers, he explained the purpose of the hoola-hoop. Few were interested until the novelty was

demonstrated on TV. From that point on the country went wild for hoola-hoops. Shops couldn’t meet the demand. Imagination goes a long way. The HMV advert with the Jack Russell listening to its master’s voice was judged the world’s best advertisement. I recall two or three adverts that I saw as a child. Guinness was successful with their image of a toucan, a colourful tropical bird. “What one can do toucan do.” It sticks in the mind like 1950s Jaguar Cars; ‘Grace,
Space and Pace.’ Three simple words that sum up excellence and value for money. Idly glancing through LIFE magazine as a 16year-old, hardly a cheap magazine to advertise in, I was fixated by a blank page. A misprint? No, in small print at the bottom of the page a message: ‘We were just about to show you a picture of our millionth Volkswagen. Sorry, we just sold it.’ Can you do as well? Again and again we continue to do things the way we have always done them, even when they are not working as well as we hoped. If every business owner paid as much time pondering the criteria for a winning advert as he focuses on the pools or football fixtures, he might come up with an advert that rivals can only envy.

Little sponges can benefit from some early financial absorption Loose change A look at finance for females
Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com
ADULTS are always going on about how smart kids are. How many times have we heard about how young children just seem to absorb information like little sponges? Or how they remember things after it has only been mentioned once. Some kids, if brought up in a multi-linguistic household, are even capable of speaking two or more languages by the age of three. So why is it that when it comes to the matter of money many
parents avoid the topic and feel children just couldn’t get their little heads around the concept? According to research just out, however, if parents want to help kids gain a better grasp of money management, it’s essential to talk to them about cash. Apparently kids whose parents frequently talk about family finances feel smart and comfortable around money. The research reveals that kids who are educated about money matters are more prone to saving their own money so they can go to college. Kids whose parents frequently talk about setting financial goals say they are ‘savers,’ while kids whose parents frequently

We were By David Searl told this is against Spanish law. I asked other lawyers locally and they are not aware of such a law. In accounting, if you have only a total with no detail, then monies could be removed from income and no one would know. Also, in your column in the EWN you said it is against the law for postal ballots to be permitted at an AGM. Does this also include email contacts? Our lawyers are trying to bring in a tick-box format for our next AGM instead of the usual sponsors system we have used in the past. A. G. H. (Costa Blanca) First, it is not lawyers who control your Community. It is the members’ vote at the AGM. The President and Administrator carry out the decisions made. Second, you should have a detailed breakdown of income as well as expenses. This is basic accounting. You must make a motion and vote at the next AGM. Make sure you get it on the official published Agenda beforehand. Third, good luck to your lawyers and their tick-box e-mails. I like the idea, but they will not be allowed. It is not a ‘sponsor’ system. It is a ‘proxy’ when a person assigns someone else to vote.

it appears parents are favouring boys over girls when it comes to financial matters. Some 58 per cent of boys say their parents talk to them
about setting financial goals, compared to 50 per cent of girls. And 80 per cent of parents with a boy think he understands the value of money, but only 69 per cent of parents with a girl think the same. But whether girls or boys, what’s vital is that all parents acknowledge the importance of discussing money with their kids at least once a week. Chose moments throughout the day to share some money management skills with kids; in the supermarket, at the cash machine, opening household bills no kid is too young to learn some of these things. MONEY TALK: Discuss with children.
‘Five-a-day’ could help beat Russian ban FRUIT and vegetable exports rejected by Russia will be withdrawn from the market and donated to charity. Brussels has also agreed to alleviate losses resulting from the Russian government’s 12-month veto of EU imports with a €125 million cash allocation. The ban arrived as fruit and vegetable production peaked and this will help to stabilise prices and compensate growers who lack storage options or alternatives to the now-closed Russian market. “All growers of the concerned products, whether in producer organisations or not, will be eligible to take up these market support measures,” said Agriculture Commissioner Dacian Ciolos. Grants will be made available between now and November, he announced. “The impact of Russia’s sanctions can be assessed in several ways,” Agriculture minister Isabel Garcia Tejerina recently told a radio interviewer. “We are analysing exports,” she said. “Last year we exported currently-affected products worth €337 million to Russia. Between January and May we are talking
FRUIT: Will be donated to charity. about €107 million.” What worried her most was a possible deterioration of EU prices, as they accounted for threequarters of the market: “That’s the market we must work to protect.” Russian consumers were going to miss ‘irreplaceable’ products, predicted Garcia Tejerina who also reminded Spaniards to eat their recommended ‘five-a-day.’ Both Spanish cooperatives and the EU farmers’ union Copa-Cogeca, while welcoming the European Commission’s response, warned that national funding would be needed in addition to EU funds.

HOUGHT I’d leave out the Mid-East fiasco this issue, give a bit of time for the Nationals to catch up! So, in a week where we were told that Brussels is about to ban the sale of certain types of vacuum cleaner, lots of fatty foods are now miraculously good for us; Mariella Frostrup recommends taking someone else’s husband on holiday (wot!?) and Louise Mensch informed the media she’d rather see Ed Miliband eating a bacon sandwich than look at Karen Danczuk’s cleavage (no comment!) they’ve decided to erect a bronze statue to deceased songstress Amy Winehouse. Can anyone in God’s name tell me why?

OR Sara Stilo of Black Frog Divers in Torrox, Axarquia, there is little foundation to the image of tourists often portrayed in the press. She said: “Regardless of what the tabloids say, I find that both British on holiday and those living here are really great. “The majority are relaxed, easy going and fun loving! They are great people to hang out with and I love their hilarious and unique sense of humour.” Shannon Edwards of Shannon’s Nails and Beauty in Almeria said: “I don’t think you can really generalise. There are good and bad tourists wherever you go but a lot can also depend on the area. Some areas attract different people looking for different scenes and sometimes that contributes to bad behaviour.” Laura Hepburn from Let’s Eat Restaurant in Benimar Commercial Centre on the Costa Blanca felt that a lot of the bad press Brits abroad receive is true. Working in a restaurant she says they regularly see drunken Brits when they lock up: “It’s a bit embarrassing to admit it, but it always seems to be the British you see stumbling around.

individual since Fatty Arbuckle. She was a terrible example to our young people and completely wasted her time on this earth in a way that was nothing short of pathetic. And some idiots want to preserve her legacy by erecting a (very expensive) statue in her memory? Give us a break. It was exactly the same situation with George Best. Best was another extremely lucky young man, born with a natural talent millions of young men would die for. And how does he thank his creator for this wonderful natural blessing? Sweeps it all away on a tsunami of drink and drugs also squandering a precious liver transplant en route. Alright, I am completely aware that alcoholism is a disease and we should perhaps feel a certain sympathy for people caught up in its clutches, but no one forced a bottle or a needle into these peoples’ arms or mouths, it was all initially a matter of their own choice and frankly I think
immortalising these talent wasters in bronze, is nothing short of a disgraceful reflection of the priorities held by certain members of our money squandering local council members. Actually this whole past month has been a bit of an ‘ealth and safety lunacy drive. No more than two children to an adult at swimming pools. Donkey rides banned from some beaches. Workers told they couldn’t wear open toed shoes in summer and, although nothing to do with ‘ealth and safety, a real humdinger in the light of Brussels’ appalling waste of taxpayers’ money. Specifically it has now been announced that Britain is to donate £1.6 million (€2.01 million) to fund bin collection on the Caribbean island of Cuba! I dunno, sometimes I really do despair of it all. Thanks for all the correspondence. Sorry we can’t publish all of them. I’m delighted to say - there simply isn’t enough space! Just had a thought. What about Leapy Lee immortalised in bronze somewhere? No? Ah well. Keep the faith. Love Leapy. leapylee2002@gmail.com

STREET TALK does not think that affects expats living and making a living in Spain: “I don’t think it tars us all with the same brush at all.” Amanda from Amanda’s Restaurant on the sea front in Altea, Costa Blanca, said: “It is just a few Brits that give all of them a bad name.” Having spent years working in Benidorm, she said the town can be home to drunken holidaymakers. “Rules seem to go out of the window in Benidorm and I think all inclusive hotels have a lot to answer for as holidaymakers over indulge and drink too much thinking it is all free. That is also then detrimental to other businesses as people don’t then leave the hotels and visit local bars and restaurants.”
Alan White from Euro Dog on Mijas Costa said: “When the British get bad publicity it’s always the minority letting down the majority. Then we are all unfortunately tarred with the same brush. British expatriates living in Spain are in general a very positive part of the community LAURA from Let’s Eat here.”

British justice or a celebrity witch-hunt

WITH yet another celebrity being fingered - the 73year-old Cliff Richard - over an alleged assault dating back to the 1980s, you have to ask yourself when is this celebritytargeting going to end? So far, we’ve had Stuart Hall, Rolf Harris, Freddie Starr, Gary Glitter, Jim Davidson, Dave Lee Travis, Bill Roache and PR chief, Max Clifford. What a roll call! Whilst I don’t condone what Cliff Richard or his fellow celebrities might be accused of, I do have some
problems with the handling of investigations. First off, the lack of anonymity given to those faced with historical sexual offence claims. According to common law, people are innocent until proven guilty, and they should be entitled to anonymity, at least until a court orders otherwise. When the mere fact of an arrest (which the police and the tabloids have every interest in widely publicising) can effectively kill someone’s career, the balance is in the wrong place. It’s simply wrong and flies in the face of justice for their accusers to be able to make, anonymously, public accusations. In Cliff Richard’s case, David Crompton, Chief Constable of South Yorkshire police, has been
fingered himself over his handling of the criminal inquiry. His officers tipped off the BBC about an imminent search of the singer’s Berkshire home - a search that may have been illegal. David Davis, the Tory MP, said the force should not have confirmed Richard’s identity to the BBC: “It lays the process of law and order open to becoming a machinery for injustice.” Geoffrey Robertson QC called for an independent inquiry, accusing the police of “treating Cliff Richard as though he were a bank robber or a mass murderer.” Why were the police searching Richard’s home anyway? The alleged incident took place almost 200 miles away in the 1980s. And we all know how
hard it is to convict someone beyond reasonable doubt decades later. It’s been claimed that so much has been spent investigating historical sexual offence claims that there’s insufficient funding left for current cases. Would the police be pursuing these individuals if they weren’t celebrities? Is there maybe here a bit of envy of the ‘rich and famous’ and the perception that their reputations should be trashed long before the case reaches a courtroom?

Establishing radio communications In the first of a new series of columns Euro Weekly News welcomes Nicole King of Mi Marbella radio…
T
HEY say Spain is different, but that’s not true – it’s very different. And Marbella? Well, we’re off the charts different; the very fact that 137 different nationalities call this home and live in harmony is unique in itself. This is exactly what brought me back from Madrid to Marbella when the crisis hit Spain a few years ago. Why look abroad when Marbella’s 27-kilometre stretch of coastline puts the whole world at our feet and infinite opportunity on our doorsteps? Whilst studying the local market many things became apparent, one of them being that Marbella, under the guidance of Mayor Angeles Muñoz and her team, offers limitless possibilities for social and economic exchange and growth. As my dad always used to say: “It’s not what you know and it’s not who you know that matters, it’s who knows you!” And I believe that our relatively small community will benefit greatly by getting to know each other better, by forming closer relationships, between ourselves and our town hall and by pooling our talents. Another thing became clear; a radio programme is an excellent showcase to share information about a business,
Viva Marbella... With
Nicole King of Mi Marbella radio association, group or club and to connect with new prospective clients, associates or just friends. It’s also an ideal vehicle for our town hall to further communicate with us and understand our needs, and makes for not only great and varied interviews but will undoubtedly open many new doors. The town hall and RTV Marbella have embraced the idea, as has everyone who loves Marbella as we do. They too see the enormous potential of creating a direct line of two-way communication for a better mutual understanding. To this end, together with the help of Myra Azzopardi Swainson, Founder and President of C.A.B. www.citizensAdviceBureau.org.es and paralegal with over 30 years of experience on the coast, we will ensure you get the right answers to matters such as how to sign up on the town census ‘empadronamiento’, renew a driving licence, local voting procedures, local laws,
WORKING TOGETHER: The town hall and RTV Marbella. tax, inheritance, building permits, healthcare options; anything that concerns you and is of interest. Roz James of www.MarbellaAzul.com will be a regular guest to help keep us updated on ‘What’s On’ and all local events. Local personalities such as Kristina Szekely and German Borrachero will be popping in to chat about the Marbella cultural and social scene and so much more! But the star of the show, is you: Mi Marbella is your Marbella, so I hope that
you’ll tune in locally to 107.6 fm from Wednesdays to Fridays, or worldwide online at www.rtvmarbella.tv as of 3.30pm. (Also transmitting for the Manilva/La Duquesa area thanks to Castle Radio on 89.2 fm).

INCE the change of the Astra 2 satellite back in February 2014, there has been a lot of confusion as to which alternative system is best.

Robsat based in Alhaurin el Grande have a wealth of experience to keep you reliably connected. They have been installing and supplying satellite TV for over a decade and cover all of the Costa del Sol including inland areas. They have extensive knowledge of all satellite and IPTV systems and are happy to explain the best option for you. No Internet? Even if you don’t have an internet signal at home or in your office or

bar, you can still receive channels through Intelsat, the UK back up satellite. With the installation of a satellite dish, you will be able to receive all stations in HD, including BBC1, 2, 3, 4, ITV1, Channel 4, BBC News, CBBC, CBeebies, Parliament and Radio 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 etc. The satellite signals are encrypted and the codes are changed roughly every six
months. Robsat always advise their clients that there is a slim chance that the BISS codes could be changed one day and the service therefore is vulnerable to the possibility of suspension. It may never happen, but Robsat believe in providing an honest, transparent service. If you have a good internet
connection you can subscribe to Sky TV and pay for the minimum package with HD channels, to receive ITV 2, 3, 4, Channel 4 and 5 and all other channels you have paid for. To bridge the gap of any missing channels, you can use a VPN router with a UK IP
address to access BBC, iPlayer, 5 on demand etc. There are numerous IPTV boxes on the market. The quality and packages included can be mind-boggling. Robsat has the most incredible IPTV box on the market, with over 160 channels and 500+ movies and box sets on demand. They include all Sky channels as well as TV Catchup, so you never miss your favourites. Robsat’s video club downloads HD / 3D videos each week including many box sets. You can use their IPTV box anywhere in the world when connected to the internet. With a seven-day free trial and a second to none after care service, Robsat is the Internet TV company to trust.

Time Out EURO WEEKLY’S SPACE FOR YOU TO TAKE A BREAK, BE INFORMED AND ENJOY A CHALLENGE
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Getting a romantic situation wrong could cause a humourous moment this weekend. I am not telling you this so you can avoid it. You could do with a good laugh right now. Planning ahead is your preferred method but sometimes it is the last-minute decision that brings the best results. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) The thing that you have to tackle this week is uppermost in your mind, but don't dwell on it. Write it down and what you intend doing about it, then put it away. Relax and get on with other things. When you do come to take it out again and face the situation it will be so much easier. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Imposing restrictions on someone else also imposes restrictions on you. Why? Well, you have to hang around and see that your wishes are followed and take further action if they are not. Wouldn't it be easier to find some kind of compromise? CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Avoid getting involved in other people's arguments. There is no way that you can come out a winner if you do. Taking a step backwards is sometimes the best thing. You have been down this path before, and did your intervention do any good? Go and trim the roses or sort out those rockery stones instead. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) The need to be popular midweek could see you veer off track on a business matter. You have been warned and will be able to avoid it if you wish. Do not under- estimate how much hassle a wrong move could cause you. On the domestic front, you are able to fully relax and enjoy good company.

IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK: Taking a more forceful approach with an authority figure will work only in short bursts. Nagging on and on won't, but you do need to get your point across. August 28: Jack Black, 45. Film actor. This actor, comedian, voice artist, producer and musician was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor for his role in School of Rock. He also co-founded the band Tenacious D.
Your Stars
September 1: Barry Gibb, 68. Singer. He and his brothers, Robin and Maurice, formed the classic disco group the Bee Gees. They sang hits like Staying Alive and How Deep is Your Love.
August 29: Chris Hadfield, 55. Astronaut. This Canadian astronaut gained a huge fan base on social media sites by posting prolifically from space. He also sang the David Bowie hit Space Oddity, in space therefore making him a legend. August 30: Cameron Diaz, 42. Film actress. Diaz shot to fame for her role in There’s Something About Mary and The Mask. Before that she modelled for Calvin Klein.
FLICKR BY El Hormiguero
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You are very much in two minds about how to deal with a personal situation. Ask yourself which approach will help and which will do nothing. Although you want to shout at someone and feel negative at times, hold fire.
H ex a g r a m
SET five years after the first film (2010), the Viking village of Berk has buried the hatchet with dragons, who now peacefully live among villagers as pets and working animals. Son of the Viking Chief and his best friend Toothless spend their days exploring new worlds. One day, they discover a secret ice cave with a herd of wild dragons led by an enigmatic dragon rider and find themselves in a race against time to keep the peace in their kingdom. Directed by Dean DeBlois, stars Jay Baruchel, Cate Blanchett and Gerard Butler. Run time 102 minutes, rated PG.
BLOODY
49
August 31: Pablo Motos. Television presenter. Motos is perhaps best known for his current show El Hormiguero in which he interviews visiting celebrities. He got his start in show business on the radio and won a Microfono de Oro in 2007 for his work.
September 2: Salma Hayek, 48. Film actress. This Mexican actress gave a memorable performance as Frida Kahlo in the 2002 film about the painter’s life. She supplied the voice for Kitty Softpaws in Puss in Boots. September 3: Charlie Sheen, 49. Television actor. Before infamy for drugs and general bad behaviour Sheen starred in the hit show Two and a Half Men. He is the highest paid actor on television.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) As someone is not showing the required amount of interest in your activities, you need a plan. Telephoning them and pointing out what you have achieved is one way, but it's not cool. Getting a few people together and using someone else to blow your trumpet for you is better.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) By using your intuition midweek, you will be able to solve a small problem at the weekend. Thinking ahead sometimes seems a waste of time to you because circumstances have a way of changing, but it makes sense to put in a bit of extra effort if you are able to avoid aggravation.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A business colleague may be less than honest with you. When it is a small matter you are used to them bending the truth. This is not, however, something that you will want to let go by, so stay on your toes. On the home front, you tend to be snappy with loved ones because you are feeling stressed.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Having been dashing about like a mad thing, you find this week a refreshing change. Only when you slow down do you realise how much you have been doing and just how tired you have become. There are some social engagements that you would not miss for the world, however.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) A mistake seems a small thing until someone notices it. Although you feel that they are making a mountain out of a molehill, it still leaves a nasty feeling. Get out and do something completely different at the weekend. Not only will it blow the cobwebs away, but it will also put in perspective any negative thoughts.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Looking for answers? They are there if only you go to the right source. There is no 'quick fix' this week and you need to delve deeper to get the information you need. It will be tempting to take a short cut but,believe me, it will not be worth the hassle in the longer term. Once you have the right facts you are truly in charge of what happens next.

TEN ODD FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TRAFFIC A TRAFFIC jam can ruin anyone’s day, especially when there seems to be no need for it, so here are a few facts to help you understand what is going wrong. 1. The way we merge makes a big difference When most people have to merge into traffic on another road, or lane, they first brake and then speed up to merge into traffic. According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation that is wrong. We should wait until the last moment and then change lanes quickly with no slowing or speeding up so as not to confuse other drivers and make them brake. 2. Summertime and accidents The hour change isn’t just annoying it’s the most dangerous time to be on the road. The period of adjustment that follows the change increases the rate of accidents by around 16 per cent.

PUBLISHED in 2013, And the mountains echoed is the third novel of Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini. There is nothing 10-yearold Abdullah would not do for his younger sister Pari, the only person in the world who can make him happy. When Pari is sold at the age of three to a wealthy and childless couple in Kabul, Abdullah is devastated and determined not to be separated from her.
And the mountains echoed is a heartbreaking and inspirational tale of heartache, hope, friendship and the everlasting bonds of love. Though the separation of the two young siblings is the heart of the book, the novel is also a haunting and memorable portrayal of wartorn Afghanistan and provides invaluable insight into the life of Afghan

where they solved nothing but they tried much like the modern world of conferences. 6. Parking meters were designed to control traffic flow Most cities weren’t designed with the car in mind and, as such, the car messed them up. The solution was to find somewhere for all the cars to get off the road and stop messing up the flow: the traffic meter was born to discourage drivers from leaving their cars in one place for the whole day.
expatriates. Hosseini is also the author of The Kite Runner (2003) on which the 2007 eponymous American drama film is based.
7. Billboards change the way people drive Studies at the Institute for Road Safety of the Netherlands have shown, unsurprisingly, that drivers spend more time looking at the board than at the road. They also found that people remembered the last billboard they had seen more clearly than the last traffic sign. 8. Finland has a sliding scale ticket system Police in Finland ticket a speeding driver not related to the speed but related to their income - they tap directly into the national tax register and fine the driver accordingly.
3. You are causing the traffic jams Researchers at the University of Exeter have found that just one person braking can have a massive effect on the traffic around them. Braking has a domino effect and carries through to around 15 cars - all slowing down for no reason. 4. Traffic jams created modern city layouts Long ago, cities sprang up around a single centre like a river but, in modern times, cities are becoming sprawling masses with several districts due to businesses establishing themselves on the outskirts so that customers can reach them easily and park.

AGILITY most of you have seen on the television. This is where dogs run through tunnels and go over jumps and weave in and around poles. What can you expect to see? Jumps, hurdles, long jumps, weaving poles and a three metre ‘A’ frame. No agility course would be complete without the tyre hoop, the famous tunnel and see-saw. The equipment is made to the highest
safety standard and to Kennel Club Specification. Can any dog do this? Yes and all breeds and sizes provided the dog does not have a physical disability, such as hip dysplasia, and is not overweight. It is not fair to jump a fat dog. If you have any doubt about the fitness of your dog then seek advice from your vet. Is there an age limit for the dog or owner? Children are most welcome to bring their pets. There is no age limit for dogs and pups are encouraged for the tunnel work, see-saw and dog walk plank. Of course heelwork, sit, down stays, send-away is part of the lessons as is walking the dog off leash on the left or right.
Equipment for dog and handler The most important thing is good footwear, shoes that you can run in and have a good grip. Also wear clothes you can run in comfortably I recommend trousers for the ladies. For the dog, although an ordinary check collar or half check are both good for heelwork practice, these are not suitable for agility. The correct collar is a leather or webbed buckle collar. Leads should be fairly long and made of leather, nylon or rope, not of chain, which can get caught up in the jumps. Next week I will tell you a little about training your pet for agility.

It’s good to get second opinion IN any field of business, professionals aim to provide the best knowledge, experience and equipment to be able to provide excellence. No-one, however, is capable of doing everything. A second opinion is exactly what it says: a different person in the same field gives his or her opinion. There is nothing wrong with asking for a second opinion and your veterinarian should understand and provide you with all necessary information; blood tests, x-rays etc. In making an appointment you should specify it is for a second opinion because it will take time to process the information. The second opinion might be the same as the first.
There might be other, newer approaches to the problem as to diagnosis or treatments. Sometimes it just needs a fresh look at the whole situation. Maybe it needs your own language to understand what exactly is going on. It gets complicated when the first and second opinion contradict each other. Be very careful because you
are tempted to follow the second opinion as you doubted the first one. My advice would be to get a third opinion and then go for the option on which two of them agree. Nowadays the internet is often used as a second opinion. Most veterinary sites offer information and there are many forums on which problems and
solutions are discussed. Although it will give you information, it can also make it very confusing. If your dog sneezes it does not mean he has a tumour in the nose!

Staying in touch - send pet snaps from home By Lamia Walker of HousesitMatch AS a petsitter I like hearing creative ways of helping homeowners stay in touch with their pets at home while they’re away, or helping with re-entry after holidays. Here are some top tips for the pet housesitter, perhaps useful for the owners too: 1. Ask for a Meet & Greet - meet before the housesit if possible. 2. Keeping in touch - Ask the owner how to keep-in-touch, e.g. social media, email. 3. Key contacts keep key phone numbers and documentation to hand. 4. Regularly share pet snaps - it is great to have friendly snaps of the pets. I share via email, Instagram or Facebook by private
message depending on the owner’s preference. 5. Write out feeding and other routines make a daily guide with the owner. 6. Garden specifics learn specifics about the garden, e.g. pet no go areas. 7. Date the post date and store the post safely; ask if you should forward any letters. 8. Clean up after the pets - organise around the food bowls, owners like a tidy welcome. 9. Buy fresh milk and bread - tea and toast is a returning holidaymaker’s treat!

Using cotton buds is not a good idea
www.euroweeklynews.com
MOST doctors advise against using cotton buds to clean your ears. While there are people out there who claim sticking a cotton bud into their ears will remove excess wax, chances are your doctor will tell you there have been many catastrophes resulting from using cotton buds, ranging from punctured eardrums to impacting wax deeper into the ear canal thus occluding the ear. There seem to be no limits to human imagination, and stupidity, and some of the most interesting items ever used by people to clear their ears and later seen in the doctor’s office include hair pins, tweezers, paper clips or even toys. The bottom line is that nothing should ever be placed inside the ear to remove dirt, wax or debris, because it could damage the ear canal or result in hearing loss. The ear canal has cells than naturally produce cerumen, otherwise known as ear wax. Ear wax accumulates faster in some people and sometimes builds up causing decreased ability to hear and even pain. While a bud may seem like a good
COTTON BUDS: Commonly used by people to clean their ears. idea and an excellent alternative to spending hours waiting in the doctor’s waiting room, it may actually do more harm than good. Why? Because not only is the eardrum easily reachable with a bud, but is also extremely delicate. It can be easily ruptured even by the gentlest pressure. More often than not, the ear canal does not need to be cleaned, as wax loosens and falls out on its own while we sleep. If there is excessive wax build-up, a trip to the doctor may be needed. But do not ever stick anything into your ear canal.

Eating meat may be bad for you and also impacts on the environment THERE are a number of reasons why it is probably a good idea to go vegetarian and swap that steak for a salad. Eating meat may harden your blood vessels. Some studies have found that a compound found in red meat - carnitine - may cause the hardening or clogging of the arteries, otherwise known as atherosclerosis. It is no secret that some red meats are high in saturated fat, which increases LDL cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. Furthermore, eating meat increases your risk of developing type two diabetes. According to endocrinologist Dan Nadeau at Hoag Hospital in Irvine, California, 3.5 ounces of red meat daily lead to a 19 per cent increase in diabetes risk. In addition, meat has been found to be rich in iron and, if eaten in excess, iron can increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s, at least according to
RED MEAT: Increases your risk of developing diabetes. a study conducted at UCLA. Moreover, excessive consumption of red meat may increase the risk of colorectal cancer in some people. But it is not just that; meat has
been found to impact the environment more than any other food humans eat. Livestock require considerably more land, food, water and energy than plants to raise.
SMILING EYES: Vitamin A and beta-carotene protect from damaging sunlight.
A diet for healthy eyes is just as important WE often forget about our eyesight and the importance of caring for our eyes, but a healthy diet is just as important for our eyes as it is for the rest of our body. Foods rich in vitamin C such as oranges and grapefruits, help reduce the risk of cataracts. Kale is a rich source of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are related to vitamin
A and beta-carotene and is believed to protect eye tissues from damaging sunlight and reduce the risk of cataracts and degeneration. Beta-carotene is also found in plentiful amounts in carrots, pumpkins, spinach and cabbage. Salmon, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids can also help alleviate dry eye and the vitamin D can prevent against degeneration of the eye.
In fact, it is estimated that producing a quarter pound hamburger requires at least six pounds of grain and forage, 52 gallons of drinking water and 74 square feet for grazing.

BOTOX: Effective.
New use for Botox SLEEPLESS NIGHTS: Can be caused by noisy evenings.
Stress and insomnia rise during the summer months WHILST many can take the summer off and enjoy the Spanish lifestyle, a report has found that those having to continue working can suffer from increased stress and lack of sleep. In the summer months the noise of the bar terraces, nightclubs and continual fiestas, causes cases of stress and insomnia, tripling in some of the most affected coastal areas.
Main symptoms include chronic fatigue, irritability, poor performance and even anxiety attacks according to Nascia, which works on combating stress and related problems. “It’s not just a problem of lack of sleep, but extends to all areas of the affected day, incapacitating the sufferer to carry out normal activity,” said Nascia director Muñoz Gacto. “The problem should be treated with a
programme performance to prevent the person from entering a vicious circle in which anxiety or stress are the protagonists.” In Barcelona 68 per cent of its citizens at some point are exposed to decibel levels reported at double the allowable rate. In most coastal and tourist areas such as Benidorm, Malaga and Almeria, many people are affected each year by the increased noise.
BOTOX could be an effective new treatment for those suffering from stomach cancer. Known for its antiwrinkle effect, researchers say it can also slow tumour growth as in laboratory tests Botox was successfully used in suppressing stomach cancer in mice by blocking nerve signals that stimulate cancer stem cells. An early clinical trial involving human patients with stomach cancer in Norway is now being planned with scientists saying the results were promising with Botox offering fewer side effects than most cancer treatments and being relatively cheap.
Top donors have 6,000 kids A GROUP of around 500 sperm donors have fathered more than 6,000 children between them with some having 20 children each. That’s according to figures released by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) of donor records held by clinics in the UK.
Before 2005, men who donated their sperm for fertility treatment could remain anonymous and their offspring were only entitled to get basic details of the donor but now new laws are in place allowing people the right to find the identity of their biological fathers.

KID CREOLE: Delighted to be back in Marbella.

A personal interview with Kid Creole
RIDICULOUSLY talented and successful, yet approachable and genuine to the bone. That is the impression left by Robert August Darnell Browder, aka Kid Creole of Kid Creole and the Coconuts. Warm, open, humorous, expressive, honest, thoughtful, balanced, positive and wise are just a few attributes that come to mind after talking to him. Euro Weekly News asked what his secret is to remaining grounded, positive and humble and where he gets his easy going, yet infectious energy. He laughed and said: “Our time on this earth should be spent wisely. Some people let their problems overpower them. There is a Tahitian
saying that I live by, it is my mantra: ‘Eat life or it will eat you.’ So I suggest you take life and turn it into what you want it to be. The trick is to turn the burdens into positives and that’s what I try to do… it’s been working so far!” Kid Creole and the Coconuts took to the stage at Puente Romano, Marbella for their Fiesta Tropical, presented by Costa Cosmetica, which he promised would be a night of feel good music, get up and dance vibes, with plenty of horns, rhythm, and boogying. Special guests joined Kid Creole to create some interesting fusion with this master of old school funk. They were excited about how their style combination would sound and feel. August explained the Creole of Kid Creole means combination or
amalgamation… and describes the broad range of different styles he likes to experiment with and blend. It also quite aptly hints at the fascinating mixture of elements that sparkle within his larger than life character. August said he was delighted to be back in Marbella and was very proud of what the band would be presenting along with Chico Castillo and the Gipsies at Puente Romano, adding he felt very lucky to still be in business after such a long and rewarding career and that many times when he thought he may start to ease out of gigging, the band would suggest another tour and their enthusiasm would bring their back his insatiable mojo to do “Just one more gig.”

Joys Live talks to… Mayte HOW did you start as an entertainer? I started a long time ago, after the boom of karaoke across the Costa del Sol. Someone saw me and invited me to do something more serious, what seemed to be just for fun, and which turned into a professional career. So that was my beginning at a legendary place, a piano bar called Old Joys, exactly 20 years ago! I loved singing, and after that I took some music lessons as classical training in the Conservatory, but what really taught me was direct contact with the audience. The audience really taught me how to perform and to entertain. My English then was only good enough to say ‘Good Evening’ and ‘Thank you!’ What do you love about performing on the Costa Del Sol? First of all, I love my profession. I can’t conceive of a life without music - I also like to meet people and connect with them. I have had the chance to meet great people, not just visitors, but great artists where I shared the music on stage, who gave me the privilege to collaborate on many occasions. The Costa del Sol is a place that attracts many artists who love to perform here. So I was a lucky girl who sang with artists like Jocelyn Brown, the great George Duke, the incredible band Kool and The Gang, Chaka-Khan, just to mention a few! Who are your musical influences? I’m a very soulful girl, haha!! I love Soul, R&B, my mentor is the greatest Stevie Wonder. I remember the best present I ever had, was a ticket to see him in Marbella. My first concert when I was 12years-old and I couldn’t believe it!! But also I am very lucky to have great people around me, musician
Rock, Pop from all years, I’m so very grateful for those days.
La Negra Mayté loves her profession. friends like the band, The Mix ( John, Christian, Nestor, Klaus, Graham ) Andy Anderson, Jesus León, Mel Williams, my lovely friend Mato (RIP)… and some others who taught me a very important thing about this business to be a good entertainer
you must learn not just what you really love to sing, but also what makes audiences happy. The people who come every night to see you. I discovered great music tunes, like all those wonderful classic standards, Swing, Jazz,
What makes performing at Joys Live so special ? After all these year, this place never ceases to amaze me. The power, feeling, ‘Solera’ (Spanish definition) of this piano bar with more than 30 years history that has a way of reinventing itself is incredible!!! And why I like singing here is that it enables me to discover new artists and learn more from them and this wonderful music business. And it’s always a pleasure to work with a great entertainer like Paul Maxwel.
Thank you very much for the opportunity Euro Weekly News, and I look forward to seeing you all at Joys Live!!! : )) La Negra Mayté

Greek yoghurt: good for you, bad for the planet GREEK yoghurt - the thicker and more protein-packed version of yoghurt - has been everywhere lately. This type of fermented milk product, strained to remove whey, is on the rise in the UK. In fact, Greek and Greek-style yoghurt is the fastest growing sector of the UK yoghurt market. The delicious cultured food was originally made in England by immigrants such as the founders of Tim’s Dairy. The business, which still exists, is currently run by four brothers whose Greek Cypriot uncle started making yoghurt in a small London workshop in 1949, and now makes up to 10,000 litres of Greek-style yoghurt a day. But here’s a new dollop of truth that might sour your taste buds: when Greek yoghurt gets strained, it leaves a waste product called acid whey, a liquid substance consisting of water, lactose, protein and yoghurt cultures.
DELICIOUS YOGHURT: Its popularity is on the increase in the UK. Modern farmers reports that whey acid is so environmentally toxic that it is illegal to dump it.
Once it gets into the waterways, it consumes so much oxygen that aquatic life significantly dies off.

Act fast before the rains By Dick Handscombe
A
LTHOUGH the recent weather has been a little cooler due to extensive cloud cover and heavy early morning dews there has yet to be noticeable heavy rains. Lets look at jobs to be done before they arrive. I suggest the following: 1. Collect as much rain as possible in water tanks, butts and black builder’s buckets. 2. Loosen up all the unmulched soil surfaces around the garden.
3. Do a weeding as soon as seemingly dead weeds spring to life and dry weed seeds start to germinate. 4. With the damp, hibernating snails could well emerge so be watchful and place eco snail pellets around young vegetables. 5. Many fruit trees, especially in moderate sized gardens and in containers, could do with a shaping and sizing. 6. The water in many garden ponds looks a little green but an ecological anti-algae and flocculating agent will soon have the
water sparkling clear again. 7. Cut the dead flowers off lavender plants. 8. Blackberries could well swell up to a good size during September so harvest from the garden and local hedgerows. 9. Salad leaves as normal lettuces or cut and come again mixes were difficult to keep going by mid-July but after the rains start sowing or transplanting plantlets for autumn, Christmas and spring. 10. Developed shrubs and perennials that could die back during dry periods,
once heavy rain has fallen catch up on pruning . If you experienced severe problems during the summer from the drought it might be useful to purchase a copy of ‘How to use less water in your garden’. It is available from Amazon UK £3.99 and from Amazon es for €4.25. The Book Depository also stocks the book.

Tools from 3D printer make car manufacturing easier at Opel FOR some, it may still seem like a long way off, but it’s already part of everyday life at Opel: assembly tools produced by a 3D printer are an increasingly important part of the production process. A six-strong team led by Virtual Simulation Engineer Sascha Holl prints plastic assembly tools in Rüsselsheim which are used in Opel manufacturing plants across Europe. Cheaper and quicker to produce, these tools are being used at Eisenach for the assembly of the Adam and its new Adam Rocks stable-mate. And this is just the beginning - Opel experts predict the use of tools from a 3D printer will continue to grow. “In the future, more and more 3D assembly tools will be integrated into the production process,” says Sascha Holl. For production of the Adam Rocks, to be launched in September, the Eisenach carmakers use an assembly jig - a specific, fixed frame made by a 3D printer to produce the vehicle name logotype on the side window. And for the windshield, a 3D-printed inlet guide is also used to simplify the mounting process and help ensure a precise alignment. Other tools from the printer are used to fasten the chrome step plate on Adam Rocks door openings and install the standard Swing Top
3D PRINTING: Already part of everyday life at Opel. canvas roof. Around 40 such assembly aids and jigs are used in Eisenach. This equipment was developed on the computer during the development phase of Adam Rocks. “It enables us to quickly adapt the parts. If something changes on the vehicle, we can easily modify the tool with just a few clicks,” explains Holl. “The 3D printing process enables us to produce every imaginable form and shape. Unlike conventional manufacturing technology, we don’t have to accept any limitations.” The Virtual Engineering Team in Rüsselsheim only has to reach into their bag of
tricks when it comes to the maximum size of parts built. Using sophisticated technology to join a number of smaller elements, it is possible to produce larger parts. For instance, when developing an assembly aid for the side sill or rear spoiler of Adam Rocks. During 3D printing, plastic is melted and laid down in successive layers, each just 0.25 mm thick. The plastic used is light, robust and versatile. Hollow spaces and overhangs are automatically treated with a filling material, which is later washed away in a type of dishwasher. “The process is comparable to bridge or
balustrade construction,” says Holl. “There high or protruding elements must also be shored up and supported until everything has hardened off. Only then is the supporting framework removed.” The small number of jigs required in final assembly was previously made by hand in an elaborate process using
a milled cast and resin. Thanks to 3D printing,
the production cost of these aids is now reduced by up to 90 per cent. In addition, the printed tools are ready to use after just about eight hours, and are up to 70 per cent lighter in weight. Another advantage is that these aids can be mechanically and chemically processed. For example, they can be drilled, milled, sanded, varnished and bonded, or connected and combined with various other materials. Ergonomic fine-tuning can also be carried out on a PC in a matter of minutes. “We can adapt the tools for each assembly situation, as well as make them user-friendly for our colleagues on the line,” adds Holl.

Mercedes-Benz S500 price revealed THE price for the new Mercedes-Benz S500 plugin hybrid has been revealed. Customers will be able to buy it from October with a price tag that starts at €112,200 in Spain. “The new S500 plug-in hybrid offers our customers the entire range of innovations that make our new S-Class so successful, and thanks to its intelligent operating
strategy ensures outstanding driving pleasure and dynamism combined with the highest efficiency. “Moreover, it allows completely emission-free driving for up to 33km,” said Ola Källenius, Executive Vice-President for Sales at Mercedes-Benz Cars. “The S500 plug-in hybrid is the first luxury saloon with the performance of a

The greatest challenge in this is to translate highest efficiency into superior performance “In this respect there is a highly interesting parallel with our successful Formula 1 racing car, which likewise has a turbocharged V6 engine and hybrid drive,” added Prof. Dr. Thomas Weber, member of the Daimler AG Executive
Board responsible for corporate research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development. The car offers a system output of 325 kW and 650 Nm torque, and in just 5.2 seconds sprints from 0 to 100 km/h and can drive up to 33km purely electrically. The certified consumption is 2.8 litres/100 km, which corresponds to 65g CO2/km emissions. Key elements of this impressive
output are the V6 biturbo and the intelligent hybrid drive. Following the S400 hybrid and S300 Bluetec hybrid the S500 plug-in hybrid is the third hybrid model in the new S-class. Its new high-voltage lithium-ion battery can be externally recharged via the charging socket in the right side of the rear bumper. In order to strengthen the customers’ trust in the new, innovative ID drive system, for the S 500 plugin hybrid Mercedes-Benz is for the first time issuing a certificate and thus a promise to perform for the high-voltage battery and
plug-in hybrid components (e.g. e-machine and power electronics). This ensures that every technical malfunction within a period of six years after initial delivery or registration, or up to a mileage of 100,000 kilometres, is corrected by Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes has ensured that the car is as simple to drive as any other automatic. For in everyday use it moves just as easily as any other automatic transmission car. In the background the energy management system automatically selects the ideal combination of internal combustion engine and e-machine.

FootGolf Marbella Nations Cup Ken Durante of FootGolf Marbella explains the new sport… WHEN we first started talking to people about creating a permanent home for fast-growing sport, FootGolf, many people thought we were either mad or we were swearing at them. FootGolf is a combination of soccer and golf. You play with your foot and a football on a
regular golf course. It’s simple and fun for an individual and for the whole family! Since we established our permanent home at El Campanario Golf and Country House, we have had nothing but great feedback from all the players. As a club one of our aims has always been to promote the sport and as we were in the midst of summer we felt that this would be a great

opportunity to bring together all the nationalities who either live here permanently or who happen to be here on holiday – so the Nations Cup was born. The event itself was better than we had anticipated, attracting a host of established players from Valencia, Sevilla and other parts of Spain. Players, who have competed internationally, were not only a bonus, but also a challenge for the other teams, who had entered the competition. In all, we had teams representing Argentina, UK, USA, Belgium, Holland and, of course, Spain. The competition itself was hotly contested with teams being split into two pairs who each contested each hole. Needless to say, it was not just the weather that was hot, but some heated discussions came about, as players
both as individuals and teams, strived to make sure they were the best. Finally, it was Argentina who won both the individual and team event, with the presentation
lunch going down a storm at the club. We are holding a European Cup Event in November, but players are always welcome on Sunday, Monday and
