People power leads to Ashya reunion PEOPLE power has led to the parents of cancerstricken Ashya King being reunited with their fiveyear-old son. English prosecutors decided to drop the case against Brett and Naghmeh King after more than 160,000 people signed an online petition demanding the release of the couple, who were being held for an extradition hearing. Prosecutors were left scrambling to get in touch with the Spanish authorities to secure the couple’s release after the public outcry. The parents were finally released on Tuesday evening.

An international hunt was launched when the boy, who suffers from a brain tumour, was taken from a UK hospital. This thrust Spain into the spotlight after his parents were arrested and prevented from visiting his hospital bedside. Ashya King was left

The search had soon focused on Spain where the family was known to have a holiday home, with Guardia Civil staking out their house near Casares on the Costa del Sol. In fact, he was found at a hostel in Benjarafe in the Axarquia, on Saturday. His parents had posted a YouTube video asking for the hunt to be called off and explaining their actions. In it, Brett said that they were not withdrawing treatment for their son, but rather wanted to seek an alternative not available in the UK. Editor says... Page 18

‘Unfair’ pirate apartments COSTA BLANCA hoteliers’ association Hosbec questioned Calpe’s ‘100 per cent occupancy’ claims. The true figure for the first fortnight of August was 87.2 per cent, maintained Hosbec president Antonio Mayor, who said this was partly traceable to non-registered accommodation. The number of owners renting properties without declaring the income or undergoing any type of inspection was growing all the time, Mayor claimed. “If airport statistics don’t stop increasing yet the number of overnight stays are going down, then something doesn’t add up. And that something is illegal lets,” he declared. Hosbec continued to advocate greater control on the part of the Administration to eradicate this unfair competition, continued Mayor. He also called for EU legislation offering better protection for tour operators and their clients. Calpe’s Tourism councillor Jan Van Parijs agreed with Mayor on this point. “There are 26 letting agencies in Calpe but at times they cannot compete with private landlords who avoid taxes by offering accommodation online,” Van Parijs said.

Billboard spreads alarm in Benissa BENISSA Town Hall categorically refuted media reports suggesting that the town’s one unbuilt cliff-top was to be developed. Residents feared the worst when an outsize blank billboard was erected amongst the pines above Cala Llobella and prepared to do battle if necessary. A year ago the Supreme court invalidated Benissa’s urban development plan (PGOU) in force since 2003. This obliged the town to revert to the 1982 PGOU, reducing the area’s official protection by 35 per cent.
“Benissa Town Hall has always respected the environment and enforced planning regulations,” said an official statement from the town hall. It was totally untrue that annulling the 2003 PGOU would allow building in the Cantalar pinewood, as this is specifically protected by Coastal Strip regulations, the town hall continued. Furthermore it was protected as a green space by the PGOUs of both 1982 and 2003. The owner of the land where the billboard was erected now faces a fine.

Community that settled Marina Alta THE Pobla de Ifach excavations at the foot of the Calpe landmark are over for this year. The dig, overseen by the Alicante Archaeology Museum (MARQ) brought to light what must have been a guardroom, said dig director and archaeologist Jose Luis Menendez. Located at the approach to the mediaeval settlement it was around six metres wide and 16 metres long. The 40 student volunteers from 17 Spanish and European universities who spent July and August at the site have now uncovered approximately half of the building.
They also located plaster walls with graffiti scrawled by the inhabitants and users of the building which was constructed between 1305 and 1325. Pobla d’Ifach was destroyed and abandoned in 1400, Menendez said, but it was the nucleus of Marina Alta towns like Calpe, Benissa and Teulada that were peopled by the descendants of the hundred or so families who once lived there. Juan Bautista Rosello, who heads the Alicante Diputacion’s Culture department, applauded this year’s findings. The natural and archaeological import-

OIL: Javea says no to oil prospecting.
Javea wants Ibiza drilling explanation INFORMATION cited by Javea Council’s Tourism department suggests that oil prospecting began off Ibiza in April 2013. At the last plenary council meeting, Tourism councillor Antonio Miragall produced reports from the media and the Balears Diu No platform giving details of alleged and unauthorised - drilling for oil.
There was no official reaction to the news and the town hall has now asked central government in Madrid to confirm or deny the explorations. Like all Marina Alta towns, Javea opposes prospecting for oil in the Gulf of Valencia and the Balearics. Local councils, irrespective of the political parties that govern them,
are united in their hostility towards the explorations. They have called on the regional government to help them in halting a project which they predict will imperil local tourism and the fishing industry. Also, in Denia a motion requesting a regional ballot on oil explorations was put forward by the Compromis party.

HE treatment of the King family, who took their sick child out of a UK hospital and travelled to Spain, raises serious concerns about the rights of parents. Initially there were worries for the health of five-year-old Ashya, who is seriously ill with cancer. In that case the authorities were probably right to launch a hunt to track down the family. But once found and it became clear the parents were acting, in their opinion, with the best interests of Ashya at heart, was it really necessary to arrest them and whisk them hundreds of kilometres away to Madrid for an extradition hearing? Was it necessary to admit the little boy into hospital and then refuse him the comfort of visits from his obviously loving parents and siblings? A five-year-old-boy, seriously ill in
hospital in a strange land will be a frightened little boy, confused and wondering where his parents are. Who knows what thoughts were going through his head? And what a terrible ordeal for his parents to go through, not allowed to visit their beloved child in hospital, and forced to leave their other children in the care of their eldest son. Yes, initially the authorities acted in the best interests of Ashya, but once the wheels of bureaucracy ground into action, seemingly the last person to be considered is that same little boy. Yes, a European arrest warrant was issued, but once the circumstances came to light surely it could just as easily have been withdrawn? It was an appalling way to treat the whole family, and verging on barbaric the way Ashya was kept from his parents at a traumatic time in his life.

With a 60,000-cubic-metre pool and a network of irrigation tubes costing €4 million, this eliminated the need for extravagant ‘blanket irrigation’. It also saves a daily 14,000 cubic metres of water, Capilla stressed.
Chief of Police charged in Arena case MADRID Police’s Chief Inspector, Emilio Monteagudo, has resigned after being charged along with 15 others in connection with the Madrid Arena stampede. Monteagudo is accused
of being responsible for the death of five girls during the stampede, which occurred at the Arena during a Halloween concert on November 1, 2012. The event’s organiser, together with 14 others, is
also being prosecuted. Fourteen of the accused, including Monteagudo, are charged with five counts of manslaughter and 10 counts of causing injury. Two doctors working at
the event, Simón and Carlos Viñals, have been charged with three counts of manslaughter due to serious professional negligence in connection to the deaths of Rocío Oña, Cristina Arce and Katia Esteban. Accusations against eight other people including the Director General of Emergencies and Civil Protection, Alfonso del Alamo, have been retracted. With this order, Judge Palop has brought the investigation, which opened on the morning of
STAMPEDE: Five girls died in the tragedy. November 1, 2012, to an end. The deaths of the five girls were caused by a stampede in one of the corridors leading out of
the Madrid venue. It has been determined that the arena was at three times its official capacity, with up to 22,000 people attending the concert.

Spain claims €1bn Gibraltar tax THE Spanish Secretary of State for the European Union, Iñigo Méndez de Vigo, has claimed that the Spanish government misses out on close to €1 billion of tax revenues each year due to ‘tax fraud’ in Gibraltar. The minister made the claim during a wide ranging interview in Spanish daily ABC, within which he made allegations of tobacco smuggling and money laundering against the Rock authorities. The minister said, “At the beginning of the parliamentary term, the Government reported allegations of tobacco smuggling and money laundering which take place in Gibraltar, to the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF). The findings of their report are a boost to our allegations because it sees grounds for believing that the
financial interests of the EU are affected by such crimes. It is clear that huge quantities of tobacco imported by Gibraltar are introduced illegally into Spain.” On the cost to the Spanish public purse, he said, “The Ministry for Public Finances calculates that the current tax regime in Gibraltar generates losses to the Spanish treasury of close to €1 billion annually, in the form of lower returns on different types of taxation.” He called on the European Commission (EC) to investigate the British Overseas Territory’s tax policies for possible illegal state aid. Gibraltar authorities released a statement, hitting back at the Spanish claims, describing them as “a financial flight of fancy.”

STAT OF WEEK EUROPE loses €136 billion in lowered productivity caused by employees’ stress. Only 29 per cent of Spanish companies protect staff against stress, compared with the EU’s 56 per cent average.
Not much difference SIXTY PER CENT of parents worry about the return to school, revealed comparison website Rastreator.com. Last year families paid an average €670 in registration fees, textbooks, and materials. This rose to €1,080 and €1,530 for state-aided and private schools respectively, found
consumers’ association CECU. Despite their worries only 13 per cent of parents have changed their children’s schools since the crisis. Of those who did, 30 per cent sent them to a cheaper option within the same category. Thirty per cent downscaled from private to state education, just over 25 per cent
Overflowing wine vats predicted CASTILLA-LA MANCHA is yet again on course to produce too much wine. Once this year’s grape harvest has been processed there will be insufficient room in some districts to store the wine following 2013’s record 53million hectolitre production. Castilla-La Mancha’s wine-makers have historically prized volume over quality and shunned the lower yields preferred by many other regions. As a result, some bodegas cannot find buyers for their entire production. There has been less demand from Spain’s catering industry although family consumption has risen slightly. Prompted by
low bulk prices averaging €0.41 a litre, exports increased to 22 million hectolitres last year with most of the wine destined for Italy, France, Portugal and the UK. A further seven million cubic hectometres was used for grape juice but neither the domestic nor foreign markets have been able to absorb Castilla-La Mancha’s 2013 production. The situation can still be remedied, believes Rafael del Rey who heads Spanish Wine Markets Observatory. If the grapes grown in Castilla-La Manca were paid according to calibre, this would discourage overproduction and encourage quality, not quantity, Del Rey said.
changed from state-aided to state and 14 per cent went from private to state-aided. Three-quarters of parents will compare prices this year and 55 per cent are applying for grants.

Dodgy business AN extra €46 billion from drugs, contraband and prostitution will now be included in Spain’s GDP. Since there are no official figures, estimates may not be 100 per cent reliable, economists warned.
Fewer lay offs ERE redundancy plans affected 91,169 employees between January and July this year. This was 58 per cent lower than in 2013 when 126,864 were laid off during the same period.
Hasty words equal share rise MODEST pharmaceutical laboratory Bionaturis recently set Spain’s secondary stock market (MAB) abuzz. Its shares shot up by 15 per cent after their website announced it could produce 1 million doses of anti-Ebola vaccine within a month. Next day Bionaturis was obliged to explain it was not developing an Ebola vaccine. It had intended to
say that with sufficient financial backing, the laboratory was capable of producing that amount. “The statement was an error that got out of hand and was taken out of context,” said Bionaturis CEO Victor Manuel Infante. In response to Infante’s admisstion, the stock market immediately responded with a 14 per cent fall in the share price.

Time to make a financial plan Loose change A look at finance for females
Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com
THE financial world is forever harping on about how women need to be smarter when it comes to money. Financial advisors and research papers tell us that we need to learn how to manage our money better and they say that in comparison to men we lack financial confidence to make the smartest decisions possible when saving or investing. Of course understanding money helps women, families or business people work towards their goals and secure their financial well-being, but by being told you are bad at
BELIEVE YOURSELF: Confront money management with a smile. something isn’t necessarily the best way to encourage a woman to sharpen up on her financial literacy. A lot of financial dialogue can be pretentious and overwhelming, thus causing some women to become even more scared to approach the subject of money. It doesn’t have to be this way, however! For starters, just keep in mind these small positive steps and you’ll be on your
What if their lawyer is a lemon? Q. A year after we completed on our home purchase in Spain, we still have no You and the Statement of Account, invoice or surplus Law in Spain funds returned to us by our solicitor. By David Searl I have emailed him several times a week for six months but he responds to about every 10th one. When he does reply, he promises that it will all be dealt with by ‘next Monday,’ but the Mondays keep coming and going, with no resolution. On one occasion, he got us to drive all the way to his office. All he had was an envelope with some scribbled figures. He had no idea what was going on and I had to list out the transfers for him. Basically, I need to find a way to get this guy to conclude our dealings in a satisfactory manner and to return surplus monies. So, how can I do this? P.B. (e-mail) If your Spanish lawyer really turns out to be a ‘lemon,’ you have two options available. You can go directly to the ‘Colegio de Abogados,’ which is the Spanish version of the Law Society, with your complaint. Or you can instruct another solicitor. I recommend this second option. Do not be concerned that one lawyer will not go against another. First you need a new lawyer in any case. Second, you are far more likely to retrieve your papers and any money owed to you quickly. Send your questions for David Searl through lawyers Ubeda-Retana & Associates in Fuengirola at Ask@lawtaxspain.com, or call 952 667 090.
way to a more confident financial you. Get started - Don’t let financial jargon frighten you. Set a plan in action to address your money management. Budgets, saving, investing - sit down and put some ideas on papers. Getting started is the first step. Avoid unsolicited advice - The advice of family and friends is invaluable in certain instances, but that
doesn’t mean they are the best people to approach for financial advice. Find a financial advisor that you feel comfortable with or a knowledgeable friend or family member who can give you unbiased advice. Do it your way - Budgets and financial plans are not set in stone. Each person has different needs and therefore designing a budget or method of money management that
you are comfortable with is the most important part of building your financial know-how. If you don’t ask you don’t get - Never shy away from asking your boss for more money. If you are a hard worker and truly believe you deserve a raise then there is no harm in asking. Breathe - Managing your money, properly, for the first time can be tricky so don’t panic if you make some mistakes. Giving up is not going to help, so just ask for some help to see how to face the issues you are facing. Believe in yourself - If you enter any challenge lacking confidence in yourself it is going to take twice as long to overcome any obstacles you may face. Confront money management with a broad smile on your face and believe you have the capability to get money smart.
Importance of customer care in your business Talking shop Mike Walsh Mike Walsh was for 20 years Regional Assessment Manager for the Guild of Master Craftsmen, Britain’s biggest quality assurance body for businesses.
www.michaelwalsh.es • 966 786 932
BUSINESS owners pay much attention to the running of their business. The poor relation on the ‘Must Do’ tick box is often customer care. I was reminded of this when my wife and I were met by ice cold officiousness from a booking clerk as we explained our needs. She had her inner demons. We were, I suppose, in her cross-hairs that day. The staff member’s offhand attitude spoiled for us, and no doubt others, what is known as the customer experience. Of the many business maxims collected one of my favourites is: “If we get it right tell the world. If we get it wrong tell us.” Good business advice but it can be a tough call. It is often easier to avoid unpleasantness and take your business elsewhere. However, it costs seven times as much to attract a new client as to keep an existing one.
As a business owner it pays to strike up a good relationship with customers. It pays extra dividends if you encourage them to help your business by remarking candidly on their customer experience and then putting flaws right. Here are a few facts that focus on the importance of treating the boss (the customer) with friendliness and civility. According to 1st Financial Training Services 96 per cent of customers don’t complain when disappointed by poor service; 91 per cent simply never return. A dissatisfied customer will tell nine to 20 people of their bad experience. Happy clients, according to the White House Office of Consumer Affairs, will express their satisfaction to just four to six people. Marketing sources agree that 70 per cent of buying experiences are based on the customer’s perception of how they were treated. Believe it or not price is secondary. Customers who rate your business five on a nought to five scale are six times more likely to return than a customer who marks you four to five. If your business is quiet whilst rivals are busier, then lack of customer care could be the reason.
OPINION & COMMENT
Keep guns off the streets of Britain… I HAD seen this coming, as we can always count on Leapy Lee to rant on about dramatic events without ever offering any solution that could work. This time he has excelled himself. Hasn’t he seen the footage of the armed police presence in Ferguson, Missouri? Is that what he wants Britain to be like? A country with armed police or soldiers on every corner is not a free country, and I thought naively that a free country is what Leapy wants. Nobody should ignore the threat from Islamic extremists but dealing with them is the job of our intelligence services, and preventing radicalisation is everyone’s job. Stop demonising Muslims, get them involved in all levels of society. Leapy’s recipe would certainly increase the number of Muslims who despair of being truly accepted in Britain. It’s fortunate that his recipe has absolutely no chance of being adopted by the government, but his loose talk has quite enough bad effects. Please Leapy, we love you really, but don’t rant, don’t generalise, just think! Bill Campbell, Mojacar Playa (Almeria) Editor’s note: Leapy called for a special armed force of 100,000 to be formed to patrol UK streets to combat Islamic extremists.
Work provider I WAS glad to see that the Euro Weekly News has the insight to be able to solve the recession. Your article on ‘Dreambeach’ made me laugh. Just one look at the picture on the front cover of your last edition makes me want to vomit. Do you really think that organising events such as these help the local community and economy? You mentioned jobs for local people. What type of jobs? What type of contracts? These young party animals abound in the Mojacar area. But the sad truth is that I don’t see

Language hurdle I BOUGHT a washing machine in September 2011 for €229 and paid on the advice of the sales lady a further €40 to extend the warranty to 2014. The machine failed totally in July 2014 and I requested a full refund but was told to contact the store’s insurance company. The assistance I received was totally unhelpful and a telephone number I was given has been useless as I am always informed that no English-speaking person was available. At least six emails have been to no avail and the store itself is completely unhelpful. I would be very grateful, if through your paper you could make your readers aware that customer service often falls very short of what most customers would expect. Roy Phillips, Torrevieja (Alicante)

them contribute to the local economy. Yes, they do create jobs as someone needs to clean up after them. Someone needs to repair the trail of damage they leave in their wake. Extra police are called in to keep order when they are at play. These are jobs, yes, but they are paid for from our pockets in the form of tax. Personally, I would prefer to pay that tax just to keep them away. Sean O’Connell (by email)
Share the dream REGARDING your headline article in the Costa de Almeria edition, ‘Dreambeach brings in €7 million,’ it would be very good if some of this was given back to the village. It was not easy for us residents to have more than 80,000 people in our village and a thank you would be great. Perhaps a garden where we could sit in the shade? Keep fit equipment, a petanca court, or even just the clean-up

Vicious circle THE Endesa website will not let me register for their Online Office. I emailed them for assistance as indicated on the website. They replied that I need to register on the website for Online Office before they can answer my
question. I email them back to repeat my question. I get a response that they do not answer emails and I need to register on the website for Online Office! Is there any way of getting some human intervention and assistance from Endesa? Nick Horne (by email)
Flour remedy A FEW days ago I reached out for my hot iron without looking, missed the handle and grabbed the base. The pain was immense. I rushed to the pantry and thrust my hand into a bag of flour, squeezing my burnt fingers as advised in your newspaper. After a few moments all was tenderness and, as your correspondent stated, no blisters, no red marks, no pain! As to the subsequent letter on the same subject warning of the dangers of this action, maybe it depends on the seriousness of the burn. Olivia Qualtrough, Nova Sta Ponsa (Mallorca)
YOUR photo of rubbish at Cabo Roig is only the tip of the iceberg. To cross from one side of the strip to the other necessitates either wading through rubbish in the underpass or trying to avoid bottles, litter and worse on the foot bridge. Add to this overflowing bins and dangerous footpaths and one can only assume people visit here for the cheap booze. Roll on winter! M.Turner (by email)
The real thing I MUST respond to Flora Simmons’ letter ‘No Bargain’ which appeared in response to my letter in the previous edition. My comments regarding people buying fake polo shirts from the Looky-Looky men was written from their point of view i.e. the shirts are perfect to them at around €15, rather than an extortionate €85. As for my not knowing the difference between the fakes and the real thing, quite right: I don’t own either. And is Ms Simmons seriously saying that the ‘real’ shirts aren’t made in sweatshops on the other side of the world? Richard Franklyn, Benalmadena (Malaga)

Tax Reforms Affecting Rental Income The Spanish government has proposed fiscal reforms which could affect the rental market. Note that these are being debated by parliament, and may change before being approved or may not pass into law at all. The proposals are that, with effect from 1st January 2015: • The tax reduction which was previously available for purchasing a new build will be removed. • The VAT rate on new builds will be raised from 4% to 10%. • The tax exemption available to landlords to be reduced. Where the tenant is aged over 30, the exemption would reduce from 60% to 50%, where the tenant is under 30, to reduce from 100% to 50%. However, this proposal has not made it into the draft laws to be placed before parliament. • Inflation relief for properties purchased before 1994 will be eliminated.
By Brett Hanson, Partner, Blevins Franks
There were rumours that the main home, second home and others would be taxed on the basis that they were deemed to be turning over rental income even if they were not. It seems, however, that this measure will not be put into place after all. It was proposed in the Spanish tax law reform that the main home exemption from capital gains tax will be withdrawn, but the draft law
based on this does not include this measure. There is an interesting new proposal in the reform to be laid before parliament that all taxpayers over age 65 will not be liable to capital gains tax on any assets, provided they use the proceeds to purchase an annuity to supplement pension income. The potential changes affect the tax paid on rental income and the capital gains tax due on properties purchased before 1994 if sold after 1st January 2015. If you are resident in Spain and considering selling UK property which you have owned for many years, you have a window of opportunity to save tax. You could take advantage of the current lack of UK taxation for non-UK residents (this changes from April 2015), plus the availability of the Spanish reliefs for length of ownership, to maximise your gains at a minimum of tax if you sell before January
2015. If you are looking to sell a longterm Spanish property, consider doing so before January 2015. Spanish residents over the age of 65 who are considering selling assets and would like to invest in some form of annuity may wish to wait until the new laws come into force. If selling a UK property, you may wish to sell between 1st January and 5th April 2015 to avoid tax on the gain. Anyone who owns and rents out UK property and pays no UK tax on their rental income because of the UK personal tax allowance, and little tax in Spain because of the 60% exemption, may wish to reconsider their positions. As the UK government is proposing to remove the personal allowance for non-residents (unless they have strong economic connections to the UK), this may result in a higher UK income tax liability. Now could be an opportune time to sell a property
to minimise capital gains tax. Those looking to purchase a property would be better off entering into the contract before the end of 2014. Remember that you need to consider the interaction between Spanish and UK tax to determine what your tax liability would be and what would be the best course of action for you. Seek specialist, personalised advice for your situation. Tax rates, scope and reliefs may change. Any statements concerning taxation are based upon our understanding of current taxation laws and practices which are subject to change. Tax information has been summarised; an individual should take personalised advice.

LL this PC and racist rubbish really has to stop. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, it’s highly likely it could actually be a duck. If you’ve got frizzy hair a broad nose and thick lips you are probably of African descent. If you have slanted eyes and a round face, you could well have connections with China, Japan or certain other Asian origins. If you are white with a narrow nose and round eyes you are likely to be from Europe or some western civilization. These dammed PC and racist ranters have actually managed to get millions of us denying our very existence. All of us are exactly the same on the inside; we have just evolved differently on the out, generally because of the wide assortment of environments that exist on this planet of ours. All these interfering PC
LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT pillocks are using the insecurity and immaturity of vast numbers of people to create racial hatred where it never existed before. ‘Paki’ was not considered a derogatory expression, until they decided it was. It was merely a more convenient shortening of the word Pakistani. The description of Jap is the same, as is Brit. What we all need to do is grow up. There was no racism intended when the Black and White Minstrels made themselves up for a bit of fun. Many Japanese and Chinese carnival participants paint their faces white. The Golly on the jar of marmalade was merely a black doll, nothing more, nothing less; rather flattering really. The people
BLACK OR WHITE: There is no difference on the inside. who make these decisions are in fact the biggest bigoted racists of all. The whole lot of these sponging trouble makers should be fired and their interfering, public money
financed organisations, closed down for good. If they are allowed to continue unabated, I dread to think where it will all end. Probably with the banning of the words black and white altogether. Just a
minute, hasn’t that already begun? Is it not, in some circles, already frowned upon to ask for a black or white coffee? With or without milk is I understand now the more acceptable term. Give us a break. The recent vomit inducing events in Rotherham are a prime example of the alarming events that can occur as a result of these interfering and highly dangerous PC committees. Bunches of busybodies, which fester in our societies like uncontrollable tumours. Well it’s high time they were all stopped in their tracks. If they are not, we’ll all be at each other’s throats for simply existing at all. What do ya mean, we already are? Never mind. Chins up everyone. It’ll be a brighter day tomorrow!
Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com.

ANE POOLE, from SPC International Real Estate, has been in Spain for 25 years and has seen a lot of changes for the good in terms of equality for
women. “Things like working as a notary were mainly done just by men but now there are a lot of female notaries and lawyers so in that respect women have become freer,” she said, adding: “I think a lot of it is down to the woman herself, and attitudes have changed as many women have to work. The only thing I do think Spain is at fault with now is the new law on abortion, which is a backward step for the country and women.” Gabrielle Discher, owner of Country Life health food store in Benissa, does not believe that Spain as a whole can be classed as backward in women’s rights. “As always, it is just the view of a few. Spain is now much more open-minded. I personally have never felt mistreated or been in a situation where I have felt inequality against women,” she remarked. But Matt Shatford of Weekend Sport, Vera Playa, said: “Yes, I think Spain is behind the times sometimes with regards to equality but that tends to be the older men who are stuck in their ways. The younger groups are completely the other way and much more respectful of women and equality so I think things are definitely improving.” And Lynda ‘Loulou’ Barnes, of

Spain not so in the Dark Ages THE question of equality of the sexes has raised its head with several Spanish politicians being accused of a Dark Ages mentality towards women. Do you think Spain is backward when it comes to women’s rights or is it no worse than anywhere else? What can be done to improve equality?

Loulou’s Hair Design in Velez Rubio, said: “I’ve had no experience of being treated as less of an equal here in Spain. If anything it was worse in the UK. Certainly no examples come to mind. I feel more respected here than the UK and am treated more like a lady.” Paula Read-Kenny of Sophia’s Wellness Centre in Arboleas agreed. “I have not found it to be a problem. But then I think that if you give a good account of yourself and prove your own worth, it is never an issue,” she said.

HEN the Malayan airliner MH17 carrying 298 passengers was destroyed, there was comfort from knowing that the flight recorders would be analysed in the incorruptible West. In light of subsequent Dutch refusal to release the flight recorder’s data and shillyshally over release of support data held by Kiev and the United States, the flight recorders might just as well have been sent to North Korea. Happily, flight recorders provide only a jigsaw piece in such tragedies. Almost certainly the US-installed Ukrainian puppet regime was responsible and the US and EU are complicit in this awful crime. With the war going badly Kiev desperately needed a reason to demonise Russia to justify a NATO response. If blame for the MH17 calamity could be pinned on Russia then both prayers would be answered. False Flag operations are acts of

RE you ready for change? As autumn approaches it is time to release the old and outworn. Take inventory of your life, clear out the clutter, and know that this will make space for all the good things you want and deserve over the coming months. For most of September the sun is influenced by the sign of Virgo. This is a particularly industrious and productive sign. It could be a busy month, but it’s worth putting the time in now to create strong foundations. The new moon in Virgo at the end of August may have brought your focus to your health. This earthy sign reminds you that health is wealth and when you feel good, you attract great things. So make feeling healthy and energised your priority. On September 8 the full, harvest moon, is influenced by the sensitive sign of Pisces. This sign, depicted by two

war carried out by covert forces to justify conflict. America and Britain have a long and disgraceful history of arranging such operations. The sinking of the Maine, a US battleship in 1898 was never a Spanish provocation. The on-board explosion was an act of sabotage. The subsequent US conspired war soon relieved Spain of Guam, the Philippines and Cuba.
The Gulf of Tonkin incident, in which American warships were ‘attacked’ by the Vietnamese, was later revealed to be a US inspired operation. The bogus outrage brought about the highly profitable Vietnam War. The passenger liner Lusitania was torpedoed in 1915 after the US consul was sneakily informed that arms valued at £6 million had been illicitly loaded. This removed the ship’s neutral status. The subsequent loss of 1,200 passengers
including 128 American citizens, brought the US into the profitable World War One. In September 1939 British liner Athenia was torpedoed with similar loss of British and US life. This inspired ruse to bring the US into the war failed to get the backing of the American people. Opportunity for America to join in the spoils of war was delayed. The later Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour was instigated by US Naval Intelligence. Drawing up an eight point plan to sanction Japan into oblivion, the Japanese responded by fighting their way out of the US trade embargo corner. Due to its defensive alliance, Germany was obliged to side with Japan. Their doing so conveniently brought the US into World War Two. Wars are profitable: The US spent $2 trillion (€1.51 trillion) on the Iraq War, 90 per cent of which profits went to 1 per cent of the US population, mostly located in Congress, the Senate and America’s elite. Senators who voted to attack Syria received 83 per cent more campaign money from military contractors than did those lawmakers voting no. Sadly, the downed Malayan airliner is merely the latest in a long list of False Flag operations.
Ready for a change? Release the old you fish, is helping you to blend your intuition with your mind so that you can make the best choices for you. This is a great time to move forward with creative pursuits such as writing, music and art. If you don’t feel creatively inspired simply look at what you would like to create more of in your life. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac so its influence is helping you to finally release all thoughts, beliefs and actions that no longer serve you. Around this time you may receive flashes of inspiration and insight, so take note and act on them! As we head towards the end of the month, the new moon, ruled by the sign of Libra on

September 24, will help you to bring your relationships into balance. The most important relationship you have is with yourself, so listen to your needs, put yourself first and communicate with yourself in a gentle, loving way. If you treat yourself with respect others will follow. This month is at a time of inner change. In October there will be more focus on changing externals once this important inner shift has taken place.
As September is the ninth month of the year, and Numerology works within nine year cycles, this indicates a time of ending and new beginnings. As the trees shed their leaves, nature is reminding you that this is a time of change, and that in fact life never stands still. So let go gracefully and acknowledge what needs to end in your life. In the traditional tarot deck the major arcana cards relating to the number nine are the Hermit and the Moon. Both of these cards are asking you to honour your own truth. Take time for yourself this month to get clear about what is important to you and what you need in your life. Free your

Challenge me! British home owner in Spain finds pet friendly family By Lamia Walker of HousesitMatch OCCASIONALLY I am approached with some interesting demands “We have several pets dogs, cats, hens - all rescued strays that need a watchful eye while we’re on holiday. Please find a sitter.” Well, I like a challenge! How can I do this you ask? Easy. I run a friendly network called HouseSitMatch.com that recruits from pools of pet professionals, experienced sitters, and collaborative home and pet owners who are happy to network. We meet online, we register, present our situation in a Profile and don’t actually connect until we learn about
each other and feel safe. There are checks and references you make, and as an owner you choose who comes to care for your pets once you are ready. Contact details are hidden. You reveal them to your chosen sitter. So who have we helped? Some of our owners include: Donnie from Almeria (two horses, two dogs and one cat); Derek and Jenni near Fuengirola (one cat!). Can I help you as an owner, or would you like to become a sitter?

HERE David gives some more advice on agility training for dogs. THE first contact obstacle will be the Scale or ‘A’ Frame and is best for the beginner dog, although many handlers will not believe this when they see the height is two metres. It is wide and a lot more formidable than a dog walk plank, which is also excellent for training beginner dogs. There will also be low jumps and a tunnel which dogs seem to love. Control training is needed to get from one obstacle to another and as the young dogs progress we start to teach different commands to turn the
AGILITY TRAINING: Obstacles are excellent for beginner dogs. dog to the left and right. A very important exercise for any dog is the ‘down’ and the wait. Another important exercise is the ‘send away’ to send the dog ahead of the handler. An easy way to teach the dog the send away is to hold your dog and get someone to put his food on one side of the room, then send the dog to his food from increasing distances away.
You and your dog can have fun with agility if it is timed correctly and provided you and your dog are ready to progress. In my opinion it is important to remember that a dog that is happy and enjoying himself, is much more likely to try hard to please his owner, than one who is afraid he is going to get told off for a mistake.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You will consider this quite a boring week, no doubt, but that could soon be remedied as you seek out invitations and social events. You are doing no favours, either to yourself or others, if you do not push yourself forward. Others enjoy your company, even though you may be bored with it yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Non-communication is a worrying thing. You sent out a message some time ago that remains unanswered, so to save yourself agonies, why not telephone? Perhaps you hesitate because of a rejection in the past. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Having put out feelers for something to do in the summer evenings, it now seems that you are spoiled for choice. Go for new experiences first and the tried and tested later. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A door fleetingly opens in front of you and you see something desirable. After the door has closed you still see the image. Why do you deny what you need when it is so easily possible for you to attain it? Reach out this week in the right direction and keep moving forward. .
Nonagram
Your Stars
September 4: Beyonce Knowles, 33. Singer. Former member of Destiny’s Child she has since gone on to become an extremely successful solo artist with hits like Love on Top. She has won 17 Grammy awards.
FLIKR BY El Hormiguero
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) It may be that you hesitate when offered an opportunity, not necessarily because you think that you are not up to it. The problem may be that you are aware that there are social aspects, and perhaps you feel unable to cope with too much attention at one time. Life busy enough?
1. BADGER, 2. BLUE WHALE, 3. EMPEROR PENGUIN, 4. Saltwater CROCODILE, 5. POLAR BEAR and KODIAK BEAR, 6. CAPYBARA, 7. RABBIT, 8. African Bush ELEPHANT, 9. Green ANACONDA - the reticulated PYTHON of Southeast Asia is longer but more slender and has been reported to measure as much as 9.7 m (32 ft) in length, 10. ALBATROSSES
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It may be a bit scary doing something different - you are a strong person, but unused to entering into new experiences. Consider how you would have approached this situation 20 years ago; have you really changed? Are you not the same person? Try to gain a new experience every week. .
1. According to the British Wildlife Centre, which is Britain’s largest land carnivore? 2. At 30 metres (98 ft) in length and 170 tonnes (190 short tons) or more in weight, which sea creature is the largest living mammal? 3. Endemic to Antarctica and reaching 122 cm (48 in) in height and weighing anywhere from 22 to 45 kg (49 to 99 lb), which is the largest member of the penguin family? 4. Found in suitable habitats from Northern Australia through Southeast Asia to the eastern coast of India, which is the largest of all living reptiles? 5. Name either of the largest living land carnivores? 6. Native to South America, which is the world's largest living rodent? 7. The Flemish Giant is the largest breed of which domesticated animal? 8. Which is the largest living terrestrial (land) animal, with males reaching 6 to 7.5 metres (19.7 to 24.6 ft) in length, 3.3 metres (10.8 ft) in height at the shoulder, and weighing 6 tonnes (13,000 lb)? 9. Which is the world’s largest snake, whose maximum verified size is 7.5 m (25 ft) and 250 kg (550 lb)? 10. Which seabirds, allied to the procellariids, storm petrels and diving petrels, have the largest wingspans of any extant birds, reaching up to 12 feet (3.7 m)?
September 8: Pink, 35. Singer. Born Alecia Beth Moore, Pink is an R & B singer who had a number one hit with Lady Marmalade. Before fame she dreamed of being an Olympic athlete but developed asthma.
September 5: Michael Keaton, 63. Film actor. He has starred in films like Beetlejuice and Batman as well as comedies like Multiplicity. He also did the voice parts of some of the cars in the film Cars.
September 9: Michael Buble, 39. Singer. Grammy award winning jazz singer who has sold more than 30 million records Buble was raised a Catholic and even slept with a bible when he was a child.
September 7: Chrissie Hynde, 63. Singer. Singer, songwriter and founder of The Pretenders which released a string of hit singles. Hynde was a member of the hippie counter-culture while at Kent State University.
September 10: Colin Firth, 54. Film actor. This British actor gained prominence for his role in Pride and Prejudice and received an Academy nomination for his role in A Single Man - the year after he won an Oscar for his part in The King’s Speech
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) As you know what you want, it should be a simple thing to devise a method of getting it. But you may need a little expert help and lots of determination. Younger people turn out to be most useful in this respect and treat the whole thing as a game.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) It is always difficult for you to stand by and see others make glaring mistakes, especially a family member. However, there are times when it is important that people work things out for themselves. It is only then that a lesson is truly taken on board.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A surprise visit or phone call this week takes your mind back into the past. Perhaps something that you did not fully understand is now explained. Although, there may be elements that you find upsetting midweek, it is important to realise that some things come your way for a good reason.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Doing what is 'right' comes easily to you, but this week throws up a strange situation, and this time doing what is 'right' could have the wrong result. I do hope that doesn't sound confusing, because it is not meant to be. To get the outcome that you desire it may be necessary for you to withhold some information.
September 6: Karlos Arguiñano. TV chef. This Spanish chef shot to fame in the early 1990’s as one of Spain’s first celebrity chefs. He even won a TP de oro (equivalent of a Bafta TV award) for being the 1992 year’s revelation act. He has a programme on Antena 3 and has participated in several films and brought out about 20 books.
How many English words of four letters or more can you make from the nine letters in our Nonagram puzzle? Each letter may be used only once (unless the letter appears twice). Each word MUST CONTAIN THE CENTRE LETTER (in this case C) and there must be AT LEAST ONE NINE LETTER WORD. Plurals, vulgarities or proper nouns are not allowed.
TARGET: Average: 10 Good: 13
66
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) It is hard to fit into a situation this week - you thought nothing of putting yourself in a certain position, but now that you are there you see the problem. You are not so much out of place, as feeling rather awkward. Why? This is a new experience for you, and you are unused to new places. LEO (July 24 - August 23) A recently-accepted project seems to be running away with itself - did you volunteer to do something small and find out that it is a big task? Never mind, because you are quite able to ask for help, and in doing so you could meet someone who will be very important to you. Do I have your interest now?

TOP TEN STRANGE LEGACIES
SPONSORED BY For solutions: http://www.euroweeklynews.com/puzzle-answers.html
Some people, and even places, have left legacies in the strangest ways and are remembered long after their demise for things which must have seemed unimportant at the time - here is a list of 10 people, and places, whose names were immortalised in the oddest of ways. 1. The leotard Jean Marie Jules Leotard was a French lawyer turned gymnast who invented the trapeze by stringing two ropes and hanging a bar between them but he wasn’t remembered for this. In order to perform acrobatics and swing on this new invention he needed clothes that would not tangle in the ropes and the form-fitting leotard was born. 2. Bluetooth technology In the late 1990’s several tech companies all clubbed together and decided to use just one technology to allow all their different devices to communicate with each other. They named this new technology Bluetooth after a famous Viking, called Blatand or Bluetooth, because he had formed many alliances and connections all over the Arctic Circle and brought together many different tribes of the area. 3. Big Bertha These artillery pieces were known to be the biggest and most powerful of their time (First World War) sometimes propelling shells weighing up to 950 kilos. They were named after Bertha von Bohlen who was the head of the German arms manufacturing company, Krupp.
Leotard invented by gymnast.

increase blood pressure and research has shown that obese patients usually display an increase in blood volume and arterial resistance. Obesity is one of the major factors in the development of insulin resistance, which can result in type 2 diabetes. Nearly 100 per cent of diabetes patients have type 2 diabetes, says WHO. Obesity makes cells more resistant to the effects of insulin making it more likely for people to develop diabetes. Other dangerous diseases or conditions related to obesity include heart disease, high cholesterol levels, cancer, back pain, infertility, ulcers, skin infections and gallstones.

Struggle to sleep? Try eating rice EATING rice could help you sleep. A study of nearly 2,000 people found that the more rice participants ate, the better they rated their sleep quality. Researchers from the Kanazawa Medical University in Japan also tested and compared bread and noodles, but the same link was not found. Rice is a high glycaemic index (GI) food which increases levels of a protein used to make serotonin which is known to induce sleep.

FEW would dispute that a daily shower is necessary, but just how often are you supposed to wash your hair? The truth is there are countless myths about shampooing, ranging from washing every day can be bad for your hair to shampooing being unnecessary as your hair will naturally begin with clean itself with time. The answer to this conundrum is that it all depends on who you ask and, more importantly, on your own hair. “A good benchmark for hair washing should be twice a week or when you feel your hair needs it,” said hair consultant Scott Cornwall. According to him, if you have very thick, long and curly hair, it is enough to give your hair a good wash once a week as you are likely to spend a long time blow drying or styling. However, Chairman of the Institute of Trichologists Marilyn Sherlock

atmosphere are lower and the pollination period is shorter. Eczema and Psoriasis It is best not to spend too long in swimming pools as the chlorine in the water can act as a skin irritant and aggravate the eczema. For psoriasis sufferers, head to the beach as the salt water of the sea can actually help ease symptoms.
Asthma makes it difficult A DANISH study has concluded that women with asthma find it more difficult to get pregnant. Researchers analysed data from over 15,000 women and overall, it took women with asthma 21.6 per cent longer to conceive compared with those without asthma. Twenty-seven per cent of asthmatics found it took them over a year to fall pregnant. Researchers at the Bispebjerg University Hospital said: “Our assumption is asthma in the lower airways can simultaneously cause inflammation in the womb which, if not treated correctly, can inhibit normal implantation of the fertilised eggs.”

Spain on a plate: Almeria THE gastronomy in the province of Almeria, Andalucia, is, as well as their own original dishes, a mixture of influences from the Granada Alpujarra region and the Murcia kitchen. One of the most popular dishes which is also served as a tapa in the bars is Jibia en salsa (cuttlefish in sauce). The cuttlefish is usually either boiled or grilled lightly and the sauce is made with a strong saffron influence and the juices from the fish – simple but very tasty. It is usually garnished with vegetables which have been boiled in the sauce to make them tastier. Caballa con pimientos (mackerel with peppers) is another typical dish of the area and, as the name suggests, it consists of lightly grilled mackerel, just seasoned with salt, and roasted peppers with a very light yet full flavoured wine reduction sauce. Cazon en adobo (marinated

Just leave for a few hours then coat it with flour and deep fry. Serve with a lemon wedge or a little of the left over marinade. Salchichas al vino (sausages in
wine) is another tapas bar favourite. This is sausages fried in olive oil and when they are nearly done onions and other vegetables are thrown in to absorb the flavour of the meat juices coming off the sausages and topped off with a healthy dash of wine reduce and serve. Just remember to start off with good quality sausages.

Some reasons to not drink bottled water WHEN did we all become so scared of drinking tap water? Why do so many people think that the water which flows from taps is dirty and that the best
water comes in plastic bottles from Mercadona? Basically the collective fear of tap water has been one of the most brilliant marketing strategies of recent history. Out of thin air the marketing gurus created a whole new market for a product that everyone was already getting at just a fraction of the price. In 2001, Susan Wellington, president of the Quaker Oats beverage division (USA) was quoted as saying “By the time we’re done, tap water will be relegated to the shower and dishwasher.” She wasn’t far wrong.

EAR by year, as I age towards 80, I realise that many of the villagers that reach 95 and even 100 in our valley, and worldwide, have eaten and drank herbs as infusions on a regular basis, including rose hips and olive leaves. Perhaps even more important, as coastal cities have grown and become hubs of pollution, has been the quality of air that one can still inhale in mountain valleys. Air scented heavily
HEALTHY: Mountain living is good for you. with the evaporated oils of herbs like rosemary, lavender and thyme. And 20 per cent of that air is the vital oxygen that
we take in via our lungs every second of our lives night and day. Indeed, although we rarely look at it this way, for many oxygen
is a very major ingredient in our Mediterranean diets. Typically 300 to 400 grammes a day, and plants eat it too. In a polluted environment pollutants can create a strain on the lungs and the heart. Long term this can cause unwanted chronic deceases. In a garden environment where beneficial aromatic plants have been planted wisely the evaporated natural oils in the air can be of added benefit.
Plants that create natural aromatherapy effects include aromatic herbs such as lavender, sage, rosemary, thyme, lemon verbena, perfumed roses, citrus trees, pine trees and eucalyptus. The figure of 400 grammes of oxygen a day is for a moderate level of physical activity. Heavy pruning and sawing during the winter cutback, the digging of planting holes, the preparing of the soil for the planting of vegetables, the digging planting holes for trees or a strenuous walk in the mountains with major climbs can significantly increase one’s ingestion of oxygen to half a kilo or more a day. Even on a balanced diet, with 50 per cent or more of ecologically grown and processed fruits and vegetables of raw live energy, the proportion of oxygen in the diet is significant. I suspect that this is something that most of us rarely think about whether enthusiastic or reluctant gardeners.
So do preserve and improve the quality of the air in your gardens not just with plants but also by minimising spraying with insecticides and fungicides and when you have to use them use only ecological ones. Bottles of neem oil, propolis in alcohol, garlic and eco potassium soap or washing up liquid will deal with almost all problems except for the weevils attacking palm trees and agaves. © Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com September 2014
My calculations if you wish to check ONE litre of liquid oxygen weighs 1.14 kilos. One litre of liquid oxygen requires 861 litres of gaseous oxygen. If one walks slowly, gardens gently or calmly does housework, one inhales around 20 litres of air per minute which adds up to 28,800 litres a day. Air includes 21 per cent of oxygen so we breathe in some 6,048 litres of gaseous oxygen per day which is equal to 7.02 litres of liquid oxygen which would weigh eight kilos. When air is drawn into our lungs and then exhaled we absorb around 5 per cent of the oxygen into our blood stream. This weighs around 400 grammes a day.

ROPERTY prices in Spain’s luxury realestate market have remained stable in the last two quarters. The number of transactions has seen a substantial increase throughout all regions and the gap between sales and asking prices is still narrowing, according to the latest figures from Spanish real-estate agency Lucas Fox. Foreign investors account for nearly 100 per cent of Lucas Fox sales and the interest from clients from the Middle East and the Far East continues to increase. Moreover, investors from Northern European countries have been lured back to Spain’s

real-estate market by bargain prices and good investment
opportunities. According to Lucas Fox, there was a steady
sales upturn between January and June when compared to the same six-month period in 2013. Though investors from Northern Europe and the UK are still at the forefront of the renewed interest in Spain’s realestate market, the truth is that the interest from non-European investors, especially from the Middle and the Far East, has continued to gain
momentum. Lucas Fox reportedly generates 30 offers per month and two out of every three turn into sales. On the other hand, the average price for prime properties between April and June was €4,237 per square metre. Now there is more confidence among buyers, especially international buyers and the market in Barcelona has kept improving since the beginning of the year, said Alexander Vaughan from Lucas Fox. Prices seem to have stabilised and the number of transactions is growing at a slow pace. The main difference now is that sellers are more realistic and the prices they are asking for are more in line with expectations from buyers, he added. As stated by Lucas Fox, the residential market in Ibiza is still booming and the number of transactions has seen a sizable increase when compared to 2013. Furthermore, demand exceeds supply thus increasing the prices of premium properties in some areas. Most buyers interested on the island’s prime market properties come from Northern European countries and the UK, but the number of investors from the United States has doubled in the last 12 months.
Spanish construction sector leads bankruptcies TWENTY-FIVE per cent of the companies that went into bankruptcy in the second quarter of 2014 were construction companies. According to recent data from the National Statistics Institute (INE), even though the number of companies that filed for bankruptcy between April and July dropped by 30 per cent, 25 per cent of them were construction companies and the sector has led bankruptcies in Spain for the last six years. Out of the 9,143 companies that went bankrupt in Spain in 2013, 2,430 were engaged in the construction sector. However, the number has declined when compared to 2012, when the number of companies closing was 2,487. Since the outbreak of the crisis, 11,227 real-estate related businesses have closed their doors, representing an annual average 10 times higher than the 148 companies that went bankrupt in the sevenyear period between 2000 and 2007, according to idealista.com. Around 42,011 Spanish companies have disappeared since the turn of the century and 12,413 were real estate agencies, while 8,994 were industrial companies.

Range Rover Sport SVR unveiled in Moscow LAND ROVER unveiled its eagerly anticipated Range Rover Sport SVR to global media at the prestigious Moscow International Auto Show (MIAS). The first Land Rover to wear the new high-performance SVR badge, the Range Rover Sport SVR has been created by Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations. The SVR is built on the success of the new Range Rover Sport with its all-aluminium monocoque, retaining the comfort, refinement and allterrain versatility for which the Range Rover family is globally renowned. The Range Rover Sport SVR is the fastest and the most powerful Land Rover ever. In initial tests, Land Rover’s most dynamic SUV has lapped
SPORTS SVR: First to wear the new badge. Germany’s legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife racetrack in just eight minutes 14 seconds, one of the fastest times ever recorded by a standard production SUV. The SVR’s range-topping 5.0-
litre supercharged V8 engine has been developed to produce 550PS and 680Nm and is capable of accelerating from 0100km/h in a breathtaking 4.7 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed
of 260km/h. An advanced ZF 8HP70 eight-speed automatic transmission and four-wheeldrive chassis have been optimised to complement the astonishing performance, whatever the weather. The Russian debut of the Discovery Vision concept gives the vision of a future Discovery family and showcases a whole range of technological innovations by Jaguar Land Rover engineers. Next generation HMI assists with a wide selection of infotainment options that do not distract the driver from the road. Pioneering ‘Transparent Bonnet’ technology, laser referencing and laser scanning will help the driver to overcome even the harshest challenges, on and off road. The first
member of the new family, inspired by Discovery Vision Concept, was due to be revealed on September 3. The Moscow audience will also see the Jaguar C-X17 concept, the first sports crossover by Jaguar which debuted in Frankfurt in 2013. Jaguar C-X17 combines the character and driving experience of a sports car with increased presence, style and flexibility. The C-X17 has been created as a design study to introduce Jaguar’s all-new advanced aluminum monocoque architecture, on which an exciting range of future Jaguars will be built. The first model of the new range will be the Jaguar XE compact sports saloon. Rollout of this model will begin in 2015.

NEW ERA: The XC90 paves the way for cars of the future.
World premiere of all-new Volvo XC90 said Håkan Samuelsson, President and CEO of Volvo Car Group. The car will be the first from Volvo to carry the company’s new, more prominent, iron mark, which has the iconic arrow aligned with the diagonal slash across the grille. Together with the T-shaped Thor’s Hammer DRL lights, the iron mark introduces a
new, distinctive and confident face for Volvo’s forthcoming generation of cars. The XC90’s larger bonnet with its new topography, the beltline and the sharpened shoulders connecting with the tattoolike, new rear lights are other important design signatures that will be mirrored across the range. To add more visual
muscle from the sides, the XC90 comes with a range of wheel sizes up to 22”. “The overall impression, both exterior and interior, has a strong connection to the key elements of the Swedish lifestyle: the generous space, the celebration of light and the focus on wellbeing,” said Thomas Ingenlath, Senior Vice President Design.

ORBA WARBLERS: Members plus guests visited the picturesque La Galiana course for a stableford.
Tricky greens at la Galiana for Warblers
FOURTEEN Orba Warbler members and five guests visited the picturesque La Galiana course for a stableford competition. Once again the weather was very hot and humid at times. The course has obviously had more rainfall than further south as the balls were not running at all. Nevertheless, it was in its usual immaculate condition and
the greens were as tricky as ever. The conditions did not affect the winners who came in with some very good scores. In first place was Roy Booth off 19.1 with 39 points. Second spot off 19.5 was Derek Gray with 37 points and third on count back and also on 37 points was David Knight off 9.5. With a computer buffer adjustment of -2, all three had
significant handicap reductions with Roy and Derek both now back in Division one. Nearest the pin on Hole 3 was Arthur Rowley who also scored a two for a coveted Warbler Ball. Roy Booth took the honours on Hole 14. Dave Knight narrowly missed his first ever hole-in-one on the par 3 fifth. Visitors welcome. 639 242 896.

After the first round it Tony Lawley, Mallory was very much any- Glover and Angela one’s game with no Boutell. obvious leader. Round two saw some very tightly contested games. Lunch break and the talk was of near misses, lucky wicks and all the normal bowling ‘what ifs.’ Refreshed, if not cooled, they returned to the greens in the full heat of the day with temperatures of 30+ for the final round. Two drawn games in the final session helped sort the front runners from the pack and when the cards were collected it was a tense period before the results could be announced. The overall winner with the best shot difference was Mallory Glover, but runner up position was yet to be decided. On equal points and equal shot difference it meant a corner to corner shoot out for Angela Boutell to pip Bob as runner up.

Hot and humid at Oliva Nova ON an extremely hot and humid morning, 39 golfing souls braved the intense heat and humidity to take part in
the latest competition organised by their society, Pego Golf Society. Unusually for Oliva Nova, the greens were full of dew for the first six or seven holes, and in general were much slower than of late, so disappointment in the greens. There were many men working on the course, but nobody either cutting or sweeping the greens in the early morning. This is normally one of the first jobs of good groundsmen on a golf course. The guest prize was won by Richard Pike with 33 points playing
